Subtypes of ADH2 gene in alcoholics

Alocholism is the multifactorial disease influenced by genetic environmental interaction and genetic variation of the genes may be associated with alcohol dependence due to its modified function in behavioral and physiological responses. In the present study, genetic variation was detected in the subtypes of gene, coding for the alcohol metabolizing enzyme Alcohol Dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2). Blood samples were collected from the alcoholic and non alcoholic subjects and genotyping was performed using PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism), analysis to determine genetic polymorphisms in the ADH2 gene subtypes. The three subtypes of ADH2 gene (ADH2.1, ADH2.2 and ADH2.3) were found in both alcoholics (Family History Positive and Family History Negative) as well as non alcoholics.

Enzyme activity and myoglobin concentration in rat myocardium and skeletal muscles after passive intermittent simulated altitude exposure

Abstract

We studied the effect of intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure on lactate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase activities, together with myoglobin content, of rat myocardium, tibialis anterior, and diaphragm muscles. The intermittent hypoxia exposure programme consisted of daily 4-h sessions in a hypobaric chamber (5000 m) over a period of 22 days. Samples were taken at the end of the programme, and 20 and 40 days later, and compared with those of control animals. In myocardium, lactate dehydrogenase activity was significantly depressed in animals 20 days post-exposure (314.6 ± 15.3 IU · g^?1) compared with control animals (400 ± 14.3 IU · g^?1), while citrate synthase activity and myoglobin concentration showed a significant stepwise increase from control animals (88.2 ± 3.6 IU · g^?1 and 4.38 ± 0.13 μm · mg^?1) to animals 20 days (104.7 ± 3.7 IU · g^?1 and 5.01 ± 0.17 μm · mg^?1) and 40 days post-exposure (108.8 ± 6.5 IU · g^?1 and 5.11 ± 0.22 μm · mg^?1). In contrast, no differences were found in diaphragm and tibialis anterior muscles. Our results show that intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure increased the oxidative character of myocardium even 20 days after the hypoxic stimulus has ceased, and that this effect lasts for more than 40 days for citrate synthase activity and myoglobin concentration. These findings support our previous results on skeletal and cardiac muscle capillarization after passive intermittent simulated altitude exposure, thus providing morphofunctional and biochemical evidence for increased cardiac aerobic efficiency.     

人参皂苷Rg1对β淀粉样肽诱导原代培养胎鼠皮质神经元损伤的保护作用

研究人参皂苷Rgl对β淀粉样肽诱导原代培养胎鼠皮质神经元损伤的保护作用。利用乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）测定试剂盒检测胎鼠皮质神经元培养液中LDH活力,并用四甲基偶氮唑蓝（MTT）比色法测定神经元存活率,观察人参皂苷Rg1对β淀粉样肽诱导原代培养胎鼠皮质神经元损伤的保护作用。结果显示：终浓度为5μmol／L、10μmol／L、15μmol／L的β淀粉样肽作用于皮质神经元48h后,培养液中LDH活力增高,神经细胞存活率下降,与不作任何处理的空白对照组比较,15μmol／L的β淀粉样肽组有显著性差异（P〈0．01）;经人参皂苷Rg1（20βLmol／L）预处理24h再加入15μmol／Lβ淀粉样肽作用48h,LDH活力下降,神经细胞的存活率升高,与仅加入15μLmol／Lβ淀粉样肽的损伤组比较差异显著（P〈0．01）。分析表明：人参皂苷Rg1能拮抗β淀粉样肽诱导的神经细胞损伤,对β淀粉样肽引起的神经细胞毒性有一定的保护作用。     

Adjustments of serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes and their significance in monitoring the treatment in patients with tubercular pyothorax

The adjustments and diagnostic significance of polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic (PAGE) profiles of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes (LDH: 1.1.1.27) was evaluated in the sera and pleural fluid of patients with tubercular pyothorax. Sera and pleural fluid samples were randomly collected from 72 and 18 patients respectively at two different timings; first, when patients were admitted to the Hospital and second, after an intensive phase of treatment. Sera of 20 healthy individuals served as control. Our results demonstrate significant differences in sera LDH (sLDH) and pleural fluid LDH (pfLDH) isoenzymes. In patients the order of LDH isoenzyme in sera and pleural fluid followed: LDH−5>−4>−2>−3>−1 and LDH-5>−4>−3>−2>−1 respectively. The ranking of activity levels in control was LDH−2>−1>−3>−5>−4. In the second phase of sampling from 31 patients, values of sLDH isoenzymes showed recovery and resembled profiles of controls. Therefore, the sLDH zymograms of patients can be used as the prognostic marker, since they tend to reach the normal level during recovery signifying the effect of chemotherapy in hospitalized patients. Moreover, according to the present findings on LDH-PAGE profiles, the levels of LDH-5 and-4 rise in pyothorax patients significantly (P<0.05). This elevation along with the rise in total LDH activity may, therefore, be used in the diagnosis and monitoring of tubercular pyothorax.
