Under low oxygen conditions (hypoxia), hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play pathological roles in cancer cell survival and spreading. HIF regulates several genes such as genes of glucose transporters that enhance anaerobic glycolysis, angiogenesis, erythropoiesis and carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX). CA-IX is a cell-surface glycoprotein that catalyzes the hydration of CO2 to protons and bicarbonate ions (respiratory acidification). This process is involved in adaptation to acidosis and implicated in cancer progression. Therefore, CA-IX inhibitors (such as sulfonamide-based compounds) showed hoping results in reduction malignancy progression. The article aims to reversal the malignant hypoxic environment in solid tumors to create a condition of weakness within the cancer for further focused cisplatin potency. This article suggests the use of modified synthesized HIF as a drug delivery molecule for both carbonic anhydrase IX inhibitor and glycosylated cisplatin that damages the DNA of malignant cell. HIF molecule has high affinity to bind with CA IX-expressing malignant cells, which is followed by cell entrance via endocytosis. Once the HIF-Cisplatin-CA-inhibitor complex enters the cell, the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor will improve the cellular pH that makes the environment unsuitable for HIF 1α function and it may be ubiquitinated. So, the raise in target genes transcription will be arrested. On the other hand, once the synthetized HIF is degraded, the cisplatin molecules will be released inside the malignant cell and start to damage its DNA. This approach may be a good solution for many solid tumors.展开更多

Chromium’s is important trace element to control diabetes mellitus and metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid and protein. Objective: The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between serum chromium, with HbA1c, Total cholesterol and Triglycerides among type 2 diabetes patients among diabetic patients. Methodology: This is cross-sectional study done in Jabber Abu Ezz Centre for treatment and care of diabetics in Khartoum—Sudan. Four hundred subjects were enrolled in this study;one hundred subjects were normal healthy as control group, and three hundred subjects diabetic patient type 2 as test group;demographic and biochemical data were collected;serum chromium, Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c), Total cholesterol Triglycerides, were determined by using NYCOCARD READER II, spectrophotometer (Biosystem 310) and spectrophotometer 210-VGP. Result: In this study there is significant parameters level means of FBS HbA1c, Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Chromium of the test groups when compared with healthy control groups subjects (P = 0.001, 0.018, 0.01, 0.011, 0.004), respectively. Significant negative correlation is between FBS, HbA1c, Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Chromium (r = ?0.555, P value = 0.003), (r = ?0.668, P value = 0.002), (r = ?0.335, P value = 0.004) and (r = ?0.774, P value = 0.002) respectively.

文摘目的:开发基于大豆分离蛋白(soybean protein isolate,SPI)的新型乳化剂。方法:采用限制性酶解结合糖基化处理对SPI进行结构修饰,研究协同改性对SPI乳化特性的影响。结果:SPI水解物(soybean protein isolate hydrolysate,SPIH)中的相对分子质量较大组分(F30)的乳化性最佳,且糖基化反应4 h的F30-葡聚糖轭合物乳化稳定性相对最好。相较于SPI,SPIH与F30,F30-葡聚糖轭合物稳定的乳液表现出最低的初始平均粒径,并且具有最佳的贮藏稳定性。当pH接近SPI等电点或体系处于高盐浓度时,所有乳液均出现不稳定聚集现象。与SPI相比,SPIH和F30稳定乳液的聚集程度更高,而F30-葡聚糖轭合物由于共价结合的葡聚糖提供了额外的空间位阻和亲水性,使得轭合物稳定的乳液能够耐受离子强度和温度的变化,在不利环境条件下表现出更高的抵抗力。结论:限制性酶解结合糖基化改性是开发SPI基乳化配料的潜在可靠途径。
文摘目的:探讨胎盘生长因子(placental growth factor,PLGF)、可溶性fms样酪氨酸激酶-1(soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1,SFLT-1)和糖基化纤连蛋白(glycosylated fibronectin,GLYFN)检测对子痫前期的预测价值。方法:选择在无锡市妇幼保健院就诊的188例孕妇,分154例正常孕妇(对照组)和34例子痫前期患者(子痫组),应用免疫荧光法分别检测其在孕16~18周血清中PLGF、SFLT-1和GLYFN的浓度,比较子痫前期组和对照组各标志物的水平,并使用受试者操作特征曲线(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)对3种标志物的预测价值进行效能评估。结果:在妊娠中期,子痫前期组血清PLGF浓度低于对照组,SFLT-1及GLYFN浓度均高于对照组,3种标志物的差异均有统计学意义(3指标P=0.000)。95%置信区间的ROC曲线下面积(areas under the ROC curve,AUC)为,PLGF为0.941(0.907~0.974),SFLT-1为0.881(0.800~0.962),GLYFN为0.951(0.918~0.985),联合指标SFLT-1和GLYFN、3项指标联合检测在ROC曲线下面积(areas under the ROC curve,AUC)分别为0.968、0.986。结论:PLGF、SFLT-1、GLYFN 3种标志物水平在对照组和子痫前期组均存在明显差异,对子痫前期的发病具有一定的预测价值,SFLT-1联合PLGF、SFLT-1联合GLYFN、3项指标联合检测对子痫前期的预测价值高于任一单项指标。
