Methods Fluorescence spectra and UV absorbance spectra were used.Results The binding constants were determined from a double reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk curves atdifferent pHs. The binding distance r under normal physiological condition was obtained according toFoster theory of non-radiative energy transfer. The binding force between gatifloxacin and BSA wasinferred by thermody-namical coordination. Conclusion The interaction between gatifloxacin and BSAseems to be strong and the main binding force is electrostatic force.展开更多

Here, we report a case of ITP that developed during the follow-up of PBC in a 74-year- old man. The patient had been diagnosed with PBC 12 years previously, and had received treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid. The platelet count decreased from approximately 60 × 109/L to 8 × 109/L, and the association of decompensated liver cirrhosis (PBC) with ITP was diagnosed. Steroid and immune gamma globulin therapy were successful in increasing the platelet count. Interestingly, human leukocyte antigen genotyping detected the alleles DQB10601 and DRB10803, which are related to both PBC and ITP in Japanese patients. This case suggests common immunogenetic factors might be involved in the development of PBC and ITP.展开更多
