ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the histocompatibility and clearance of chlorpyrifos and its metabolite of activated charcoal and adsorption resin by in vitro study.@*Methods@#Venous blood from volunteers were incubation with activated charcoal or adsorbent resins, cytometry parameters and plasma components were detected for evaluation the histocompatibility of adsorbents. Venous blood from volunteers mixed with chlorpyrifos and its metabolite were incubation with activated charcoal or adsorbent resins, plasma concentration of chlorpyrifos and its metabolite were detected for evaluation the efficacy of adsorbents.@*Results@#Incubation tests show that the absorbents reduce the blood platelet (F=3.671, P<0.05) , serum glucose (F=10.564, P<0.05) , albumin (F=5.239, P<0.05) , uric acid (F=7.175, P<0.05) , creatinine (F=23.673, P<0.05) , T3 (F=11.161, P<0.05) and free T3 (F=10.256, P<0.05) . However, other cytometry parameters and plasma components were not influenced. Both activated charcoal and adsorbent resins could reduce the plasma concentration of chlorpyrifos (F=798.110, P<0.01) and its metabolite (F=1495.212, P<0.05) .@*Conclusion@#In vitro test show that both activated charcoal and adsorbent resins could clear chlorpyrifos and its metabolite, however, could not influence main cytometry parameters and plasma components, the histocompatibility of adsorbents are satisfactory.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the detection of a human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B) allele HLA-B*13:01 by dual allele-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in patients with trichlorethylene-induced dermatitis.@*Methods@#A total of 20 patients with trichlorethylene-induced dermatitis who were admitted and treated from January 2014 to October 2016 were enrolled as case group, and 20 persons who underwent physical examination from January to October, 2016 were enrolled as control group. Peripheral cubital venous blood samples were collected from all subjects, and dual allele-specific real-time PCR was used to detect the HLA-B*13:01 gene. The two groups were compared in terms of the proportion of subjects carrying HLA-B*13:01 gene.@*Results@#There were no significant differences between the case group and the control group in median age (25.0 years vs 27.0 years, Z=0.30, P>0.05) and the proportion of male subjects (60.0% vs 70.0%, χ2=0.44, P>0.05) . The mean time of exposure to trichloroethylene was 30.8 days in the case group, while the subjects in the control group were not exposed to trichloroethylene. The case group had a significantly higher frequency of HLA-B*13:01 gene than the control group (80.0% vs 20.0%, χ2=14.40, P<0.01) with an odds ratio of 16.00.@*Conclusion@#Dual allele-specific real-time PCR can be used for detection of the HLA-B*13:01 gene in patients with trichlorethylene-induced dermatitis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for the isolation and identification of platelets.Methods 10 healthy volunteers were selected to collect the EDTA anticoagulant venous blood of 3 tubes,each tube was 2 ml,which was divided into the whole blood cell tube,platelet rich plasma (control group),and stepped centrifugal platelet extract (experiment group).Platelet was isolated by simple centrifugation method(PRP) and stepped centrifugal method.The two groups were full blood count and analyzed by microscopic morphology and platelet activity test.Leukocyte specific HGB gene and platelet mitochondrial ND1 gene content was analyzed by real time PCR.Results Platelets were extracted and detected in control group and experimental group.Platelets were found and white blood cells and red blood cells were not remained in experimental group.Platelets and sporadic white blood cells were found in control group.The platelet pick up rate of experiment group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant.Experimental gene content HGB of experiment group was significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant (t=-3.281,-2.865,P＜0.05).ND1 gene content of experiment group higher than the control group,the difference was not statistically significant.There was no significant difference for platelet activity test between experimental group and control group (t=-0.046,-0.799,P＞ 0.05).Conclusion A isolation and identification method of stepped centrifugal platelet was established.The method can be used for the study of platelet gene and the functional analysis of platelets.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between human leukocyte antigen( HLA)-B~* 13 : 01 allele and liver dysfunction in patients with occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene( OMDT). METHODS: Twenty patients with OMDT were chosen as study subjects by using a convenient sampling method. The sequence-based genotyping method was used for detecting HLA-B~* 13 : 01 allele in the DNA samples from peripheral blood of all study subjects. The serum levels of total protein,albumin,total bilirubin,direct bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities in patients were examined. The correlation between the number of HLA-B~* 13 : 01 alleles and the liver function indices was also analyzed. RESULTS: There were 16 patients carrying HLA-B~* 13: 01 allele. The serum total protein in the HLA-B~* 13: 01 carriers was higher than that of non-carriers( P < 0. 05). The serum total protein was positively correlated with the number of patients carrying HLA-B~* 13: 01 alleles( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The degree of liver function damage in OMDT patients may be related to carrying the HLA-B~* 13: 01 allele.
