ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for simulataneous determination of 18 free amino acids in snake venom. Methods Preparation of free amino acid samples by membrane. HPLC analysis was performed after derivatization by using phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC) as a derivative reagent, samples were analyzed on Ultimate LP-C18 column with gradient elution column of 0.05 mol/L sodium acetate buffer and methanol-acetonitrile- water (40:40:20), and current speed was1.0 mL/min, and the column temperature was set at 35℃, and detection wavelength was 254nm. Results The 18 kinds of amino acids showed a good linearity with the correlation coefficients ≥0.99. The recovery rate was 74.59%~110.62%. Snake venom contained 17 kinds of amino acids, the total content of amino acids was 0.2%. Conclusion The method was accurate, reproducible and reliable, and can be used for the determination of amino acids in snake venom and related products.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the hMOF protein expression in non?small cell lung cancer and explore the relationship between its expres?sion and radiotherapy prognosis. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the hMOF expression in 59 cases of non?small cell lung cancer after radiotherapy. The relationship between hMOF expression with clinicopathological and radiation prognosis was analyzed. Results Among the 59 cases of non?small cell lung cancer tissues,there were 30 cases found to be high expression with hMOF. The rate of positive expression of hMOF in non?small cell lung cancer were 50.85%. Clinical stage and hMOF expression were independent predictors for non?small cell lung can?cer. Conclusion The expression of hMOF had a positive correlation with the radiation prognosis in non?small cell lung cancer,which could be used as a prognostic indicator of radiotherapy.
