Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27) and creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) are widely distributed cytoplasmic enzymes. LD has five and CK has three isoenzymes distributed in different proportions in various tissues. The amounts of LD and CK and the distribution of isoenzymes in different body fluids are not thoroughly characterized. We have measured the total LD and CK concentrations and their isoenzyme distribution in pleural aspirates and in serum from 22 patients with benign conditions and from 14 patients with malignant effusions. In malignant pleural fluid, the mean total LD was 662 U/L; in benign conditions, it was nearly 5840 U/L with large variations (91-43 400 U/L) according to clinical diagnosis, the highest values being reached in inflammatory lesions. The mean total CK concentration in pleural fluid was close to the serum value in both groups of patients, as was the pleural CK isoenzyme distribution. The LD isoenzyme distribution in pleural effusions differed from that in serum in both groups, with LD-4 and -5 being the main isoenzymes in their pleural fluid specimens (greater than 42% of total LD). The total LD concentration correlated somewhat (r = 0.57) with the total pleural protein content. In conclusion, the pleural LD isoenzyme distribution, both in benign and malignant conditions, differs from that in serum, having shifted towards more anaerobic and embryonic isoenzymes (LD-4 and -5). Moreover, the greater the concentration of pleural total LD, the greater the proportion of LD-4 and -5. These data suggest that visceral or parietal pleural cells are rich in LD isoenzymes 4 and 5.

The Past

During this century, interest in the particulate content of the organs and body fluids of those individuals affected by pneumoconiosis, cancer, or other diseases of unknown etiology developed and concern was further prompted with the increasing realization that various foreign particles were associated with or caused disease. Concurrently particularly in the past two decades, a number of methods were devised for isolating particulates from tissue. These methods were recently reviewed by Vallyathan et al. who concluded sodium hypochlorite digestion was both simple and superior to other digestion procedures.

AbstractA workshop on problems related to the analysis of nicotine and nicotine metabolites in body fluids at levels pertinent to the human situation was held in November 1974 in Stockholm. It was organized by C. Enzell, B. Holmstedt and A. Pilotti at the request of the Medical Advisory Board of the Swedish Tobacco Company. The goal of the workshop was to summarize the present state of art in the area outlined by the organizers and to discuss critically the advantages and limitations of the different analytical methods available today. EIeven experts in the field of metabolism, detection and biosynthesis of nicotine and related compounds were therefore invited to present papers on these topics and to participate in the discussions. AIl speakers invited were able to attend and the papers were arranged in the following groups:Each speaker had one hour and a half at his disposal which included the discussion which, due to the informal atmosphere and the smaII number of participants, was very lively and fruitful. The papers read at this workshop comprise a very valuable coverage of recent research in the fields of metabolism of nicotine and minor tobacco alkaloids, and of the various methods available for detection of these alkaloids. The abstracts are given below, while full papers, now edited by A. Pilotti, can be obtained on request from C. Enzell of the Swedish Tobacco Company

Abstract: The phenomenon of the people who forcibly took covid's corpse 19 from the hospital to be taken care of by Fardhu Kifayah by his family and the community, became a conclusion that there was community doubt about the management of Tajhiz Mayat conducted by the hospital. Coupled with the circulation of the video of the Ruku movement 'in the corpse prayer conducted by unscrupulous parties at the Hospital, became added doubts from the public against the hospital. To solve this problem, this research uses a Descriptive Analysis approach, namely by formulating a question, namely How to arrange Covid 19's body in Banda Aceh and this question will be answered with several theories and data sets from the field. So it was concluded in a conclusion that answered the formulation of the problems mentioned. Theoretically the spread of covid 19 is very fast, the size of the virus is only 0.1 micrometer and is in body fluids, especially nasopharyngeal fluid and oropharyngeal fluids of infected people, fluids in the body of covid 19 bodies can get out through every gap of the body such as mouth, nose, eye and rectum, because it requires special techniques in its management. Fardhu kifayah to covid 19 bodies should be carried out by trained Ustad and trained health workers, so that the spread stopped. The results of this study concluded that the management of the Moslem bodies died at Zainal Abidin Hospital in Banda Aceh was in accordance with the Fatwa of the Aceh Ulama Council (MPU) and the bodies were handled by trained Ustad and health workers.
