[Clinical assessment of serum intestine type alkaline phosphatase using Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry (JSCC) recommended method--assessment of JSCC recommended method followed by indoxylphosphate staining].

We assessed a clinical usefulness of JSCC (Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry) recommended method for the measurement of serum alkaline phosphatase. The recommended method is completely correlated both in the liver-bone and intestine isoenzymes with Kind-King method recommended by the expert panel of liver function tests in Japanese Society of Gastroenterology. On the other hand, mixed tests of liver-bone and intestine isoenzyme completely show the full recovery at any combinations of both enzymes using indoxylphosphate isoenzyme staining method. These results indicated that the quantitative analysis of blood alkaline phosphatase is possible employing the combination of JSCC recommended and indoxylphosphate staining methods. Employing these combinations, we could effectively assess the pathophysiological significance of intestine alkaline phosphatase appeared in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

[Prognostic factors and response to chemotherapy in breast cancer. bibliographic review].

The recent literature on prognostic factors in breast cancer was examined with regard to: early or delayed diagnosis, age, menopause, tumour site and size, histological type and grading, involvement of lymph nodes, clinical stage, local recurrence, and distant metastasis. With respect to prognostic factors connected with the response to therapy, the following points were considered: menopause, involvement of lymph nodes, dimensions, clinical stage, free interval, performance and loss of weight, particular sites of metastasis, radiotherapy, oestrogen receptors, prior endocrine management, and certain body fluid parameters (haemoglobin, total lymphocytes, platelets, and white cells, albumin, LDH, SGOT, alkaline phosphatase, blood bilirubin and calcium). Radiotherapy appears to make patients less responsive to subsequent antiblastic treatment, whereas premenopausal status, good psychological and physical efficiency, and prior endocrine management seem to play a positive role in the response to chemotherapy.

[The activity of cationic proteins, peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase in the blood neutrophils of diabetics].

Data on the function of neutrophils in diabetes mellitus not infrequently accompanied by inflammatory complications are scarce. The aim of this work is to investigate the state of some components of neutrophil granules (cationic proteins, activity of myeloperoxidase, alkaline phosphatase) that play a major role in the mechanisms of destruction of microorganisms in phagocytosis.

Dietary fat alters HIV protease inhibitor-induced metabolic changes in mice.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors (PI) may alter lipid metabolism in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, the influence of dietary fat on the metabolic effects of PI therapy remains unknown. AKR/J mice were fed high or low fat diets and treated with the PI indinavir (IDV), nelfinavir (NFV), saquinavir (SQV) or amprenavir (APV) by subcutaneous delivery for 2 wk. Serum concentrations of glucose, insulin, triglyceride, free fatty acid, glycerol, pancreatic lipase, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen and PI, and interscapular and epididymal fat weights were determined. Some metabolic effects of PI were dependent on diet. IDV- and NFV-treated mice had greater serum glucose concentration and body weight; IDV-treated mice had lower serum insulin; NFV-treated mice had greater interscapular fat mass; and SQV treated mice had lower serum triglyceride concentration than control mice fed the low but not the high fat diet. In contrast, NFV- and IDV-treated mice had greater triglyceride concentration and blood urea nitrogen, and SQV treated mice had greater serum cholesterol than control mice fed the high but not the low fat diet. The serum concentration of SQV was lower in mice fed the high fat compared with the low fat diet. Other effects were not dependent on diet. IDV- and NFV-treated mice had greater fatty acids, and IDV-treated mice had greater pancreatic lipase, bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase than control mice fed either diet. APV treatment had little effect on these serum measurements. Thus, changes in dietary fat can influence some but not all of the effects of PI on metabolism. Furthermore, each PI produces different effects in vivo, indicating that various PI affect distinct metabolic pathways.
