Abstract Pre-albumin, albumin, orosomucoid, α-antitrypsin, α-macroglobulin, β1A-globulin, IgG, IgA, and IgM were assayed in the serum of patients with chronic persistent hepatitis, chronic aggressive hepatitis, and postnecrotic cirrhosis. When results were evaluated by multivariate analysis, a good discrimination was obtained, especially between chronic aggressive hepatitis and postnecrotic cirrhosis.

Abstract With use of the serum protein pattern as a model, we compared the "Diagnostic Effectiveness" of tests of different chemical specificity—i.e., the percentage classified correctly according to the clinical diagnosis. When results obtained from a selected population of subjects with selected diseases were evaluated by multivariate analysis, disease discrimination by paper electrophoresis, which resolves only chemically heterogeneous fractions, was similar to that of a battery of specific assays for individual proteins.

<em></em>Effects of phytopreparation from a plant of <em>Limonium gmelinii</em> were studied on livers of white breedless rats at chronic impact of cadmium sulfate and carbon tetrachloride. It was established the administration of cadmium sulfate during six months caused chronic hepatitis, while the simultaneous administration of preparation from <em>Limonium gmelinii</em> and cadmium sulfate did not result of destructive changes in a liver. Chronic intoxication of the animals by carbon tetrachloride during six months caused progressive postnecrotic cirrhosis. The simultaneous administration of phytopreparation and carbon tetrachloride caused postnecrotic fibrosis in the central part of hepatic lobule only. Not only dystrophic and necrobiotic processes also numerous inflammatory cell infiltrates were observed in hepatic parenchyma of animals which were treated by cadmium sulfate and carbon tetrachloride, while it was not observed at animals which were medicated with phytopreparation. Thus, on the basis of the data was concluded about hepatoprotective action of phytopreparation from<em> Limonium gmelinii</em>.

SUMMARYHepatitis E virus (HEV) is now considered an endemic pathogen in industrialized countries, leading to acute and sometimes chronic hepatitis, mostly in vulnerable people. The endemic sources are unclear. A survey in The Netherlands in 2006–2007 showed a 1·9% seroprevalence of HEV antibodies measured by ELISA and confirmed by immunoblot in a nationwide sample. Overall, in 134/7072 (1·9%) seropositive individuals, older age (P<0·01), being male (P<0·01), working with patients (P=0·03), working with animals (P=0·07), recent diarrhoeal complaints (P=0·07) and adhering to a religion that considers pigs unclean (P<0·01) were independently associated with seropositivity in multivariate analysis. Sub-analysis of 59/4022 (1·5%) anti-HEV antibody-positive subjects with probable endemic exposure showed independent association with youngest household member being aged <5 years or between 19 and <65 years (P=0·05) in multivariate analysis. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the sources of endemic HEV exposure, and also highlight the need for systematic epidemiological and serological evaluation of new cases.

Abstract Manganese, copper, and zinc concentrations were determined in serum and packed blood cells of normal controls, patients with acute and chronic (persistent or aggressive) hepatitis, and cases of postnecrotic cirrhosis. During the active phase of acute hepatitis, serum manganese concentrations are invariably increased; the difference between the mean value and the normal is highly significant, P &lt; 0.001. The mean serum copper is also significantly increased (P &lt; 0.01). The concentrations become normal during the subsiding phase. In chronic aggressive hepatitis and posthepatitic cirrhosis, the mean serum manganese concentration is increased, P &lt; 0.001, whereas the serum zinc concentration is frequently decreased. There is a highly significant (P &lt; 0.001) positive correlation between serum manganese concentration and the activity in serum of aminotransferases, in subjects with acute or chronic hepatitis or postnecrotic cirrhosis.

Abstract We have studied the standardization of total serum protein assay with the biuret reaction. Standard solutions were prepared from lyophilized preparations of human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin, with corrections made for volatile material and ash contents. These solutions and a solution of crystalline albumin standard were analyzed with a new stable biuret reagent, to establish absorptivity values (values for the absorbance of a 1 g/liter final reaction mixture). The mean values obtained were 0.302, 0.292, and 0.290 for human serum albumin, bovine serum albumin, and the crystalline albumin, respectively. We believe that the established absorptivity value will improve the accuracy of serum protein determinations. We studied the linearity of the relation between color produced and protein concentration, with use of the solutions described above and a serum pool. The color adheres to Beer's law up to the highest concentration tested: 3 g/liter for HSA and BSA, and 2.8 g/liter for serum in the final reaction mixture. The new biuret reagent has been stable for one year at room temperature. We recommend the use of bovine serum albumin as a primary standard for serum protein assays. It is inexpensive, easily available, and exhibits the best linearity in the biuret reaction.
