Characteristic Finding

An infant with congenital chylous ascites and Milroy's disease, as well as two patients with Milroy's disease of the lower extremities, have been studied with regard to the turnover of I131-labeled human serum albumin. The children with Milroy's diease had a normal turnover of radioiodinted albumin, whereas the child with congenital chylous ascites had a markedly increased turnover due to loss of serum protein into the gastrointestinal tract. The hypoproteinemia which is a characteristic finding in congenital chylous ascites may be due to such gastrointestinal loss of protein in serum.

Abstract Glycylglycylglycine was investigated as a reference standard for use in serum protein measurement by the biuret reaction. The tripeptide-biuret solution has a molar absorptivity of 96 at 565 nm, and absorbances at both 550 nm and 565 nm are proportional to concentration. By a manual reference procedure, the 550-nm absorbance of 1.0 g of tripeptide was equivalent to that given by 1.72 ± 0.03 g of human serum albumin or 1.43 ± 0.03 g of bovine serum albumin. By the Technicon N14b automated procedure, the absorbance of 1.0 g of tripeptide at 550 nm was equivalent to that of 1.81 ± 0.02 g of human serum albumin or 1.89 ± 0.03 g of bovine serum albumin. Results for serum protein analyses over the range 4.0 to 9.0 g/dl, when tripeptide or serum albumin was used to prepare calibration curves, showed mean differences of 0.15 g/dl in the manual mode and 0.08 g/dl in the automated mode.

Abstract 1. An abnormal serum protein pattern in a patient with Wegener’s granulomatosis and five of his relatives was identified as bisalbuminemia by electrophoretic and immunochemical methods. 2. With the exception of the patient with Wegener’s syndrome, the presence of bisalbuminemia was not associated with a significant change in total serum proteins, total albumin, serum components other than albumin, or any disease. 3. Addition of I131-thyroxine to bisalbumin sera resulted in thyroxine binding by albumin B but not by albumin A. The failure of albumin A to bind added I131-thyroxine leads to speculation that, in this family, neither albumin A nor B are identical to normal human serum albumin.

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.

Abstract We used human serum protein fractions to evaluate the sensitivity and bias of three turbidimetric methods for determining concentrations of proteins. Each fraction (Cohn Fractions II, III, IV, and V) was assigned a protein concentration value that was determined by the biuret method, which we calibrated with purified monomer of human serum albumin. All three turbidimetric methods (those involving sulfosalicylic acid/sodium sulfate, trichloroacetic acid, and alkaline benzethonium chloride) gave acceptable results for Fraction V with crystallized human serum albumin as the reference material, but there was bias by each of the three methods for the three globulin fractions. The method involving alkaline benzethonium chloride with measurement at 450 nm had the best sensitivity within the range of linearity and the most consistent bias among the three globulin fractions. These results define the dilemma for valid calibration of these methods for total serum protein in cerebrospinal fluid and urine.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was synthesized in Triton X-100 microemulsion and was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Particle size analysis results showed that the particles has nanometer size, high surface area and loose structure. The prepared HAP had high adsorption capacity to human serum protein and the adsorption of human serum protein on the surface of HAP was confirmed by SEM. The factors which influenced the adsorption capacity such as the acidity, reaction time and the concentration of adsorbent were investigated in detail and the adsorption isothermal was also obtained. The adsorption capacity reduced while the pH value increased, and the adsorption reached equilibrium when shaking time was up to 40 min. The adsorption isotherm could be fitted by the pseudo-Langmuir type. The adsorption of human serum albumin on HAP was investigated, and the influences of adsorption on the conformation of human serum albumin were studied by infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy. It can be seen from the FT-IR spectra that the intensity of flex vibration of C=O, N-C bonds all weakened. The calculation results of ultraviolet spectrum indicated that the quantity of α spiral structure reduced from 44% to 17.12%.

ZusammenfassungNach tierexperimentellen Voruntersuchungen wurde die Placentographie mit trägerfreiem 113Inm -HSA als klinische Methode eingeführt. Vor Amniocentesen und bei Verdacht auf Placenta praevia werden Placentographien geschrieben. Den Schwangeren wird eine Aktivität von 500 μCi in die Cubitalvene injiziert. Die der Aktivität entsprechende Indiummenge ist kleiner als 0,1 ng. Die fetale Strahlenbelastung liegt unter lOmrad. Bei Anwendung von 113Inm-HSA entfällt eine Blockade der mütterlichen und fetalen Schilddrüsen. Die genaue Abgrenzung einer Placenta praevia wird nicht durch eine Blasenaktivität beeinträchtigt.Es wurden bisher 19 Placentalokalisationen durchgeführt. In allen Fällen konnte der Placentasitz eindeutig festgestellt werden. Bedingt durch die lange Liegezeit beim Aufnehmen eines Szintigramms kam es in zwei Fällen zu einem Vena-Cava-Kompressions-Syndrom. Zur Verhinderung dieser klinischen Zwischenfälle werden inzwischen Placentographien mit der Anger-Kamera aufgenommen. Mit Hilfe des divergierenden Kollimators konnte der gesamte Abdominalbereich erfaßt werden. Die Aufnahmezeit konnte auf 7 — 10 Minuten verkürzt werden. Die intravenöse injizierte Aktivität betrug bei dieser Methode ebenfalls 500 μCi. Der diagnostische Aussagewert der Kamerabilder ist szintigraphischen Aufnahmen gleichwertig.
