Antithrombin III contribution to cholestasis differential diagnosis: its correlation with one stage prothrombin time and factor V.

Levels of antithrombin III (AT III) measured by two different methods, Factor V (FV) and One Stage Prothrombin Time, have been studied in two groups of patients: 55 with chronic liver disease and 22 with extra hepatic cholestasis. Results show a statistically significant correlation between the decrease of AT III and FV in the first group, and the normality of these parameters (unrelated to One Stage Prothrombin Time) in the second group. Levels at AT III and FV correlate directly with the functional integrity of hepatic parenchyma, so they may help in the differential diagnosis of different types of cholestasis.

Glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency with hereditary hemolytic anemia in a Spanish family: clinical and familial studies.

A new case of glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency associated with cogenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia is described in a 12-year-old girl of Spanish origin. The parents exhibited erythrocyte glucose phosphate isomerase activity between 50 and 60% of normal. The enzyme of the propositus had normal Michaelis-Menten constants both for F-6-P and G-6-P, but abnormal pH optimum and decreased heat stability at 48 degrees C. On starch-gel electrophoresis the father's enzyme was normal but the mother's showed a cathodic migrating band in addition to the normal one. The enzyme from the propositus exhibited only one band with cathodal mobility of 116% of the main band found in normal subjects. It is postulated that the propositus is double heterozygous for two abnormal alleles, and the mother contributes a mutant allele with abnormal electrophoretic mobility and thermolability at 48 degrees C whereas the father contributes an allele without enzymatic activity.

Antibody elution from red blood cells by chloroform and trichloroethylene.

Antibody elution by chloroform and trichloroethylene was compared with the Rubin ether method modified by Hughes-Jones for IgG antibodies and the Landsteiner and Miller heat method for IgM antibodies. After washing the cells, the chloroform and trichloroethylene method was done at 37 degrees C for 10 minutes. With this technique the eluate remained on the upper layer above the red blood cell stroma layer, while with Rubin's method the eluate remained below the cell stroma. The reported technique was as effective as the Landsteiner and Miller heat method for IgM antibodies, and a double volume of eluate was obtained.
