Induction of O-deethylase activity as an index to exposure to coal-derived products and trace environmental pollutants.

Abstract:

:The metabolism of the synthetic substrate 7-ethoxyresorufin is a selective measure of the activity of cytochrome P-448 monooxygenase, the subset of cytochrome P-450-mediated enzymes preferentially induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds. 7-Ethoxycoumarin metabolism, on the other hand, reflects total (nonselective) cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activity. Either substrate yields a single, highly fluorescent product, amenable to direct, sensitive assay with the portable centrifugal analyzer. We used three assays with liver microsomes from C57/BL6 mice for the short-term bioassay of the dose-dependent effects of exposure to selected environmental toxins, including petroleums, polychlorinated biphenyls, and their oxidative degradation products.

  • Serum free light chain ratio, total kappa/lambda ratio, and immunofixation results are not prognostic factors after stem cell transplantation for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:The prognostic value of changes in paraprotein markers after stem cell transplantation is unknown. We evaluated disease response using serum immunofixation (s-IFIX), total kappa and lambda ratio (KLR), and free light chain (FLC) ratio in myeloma patients who underwent autologous or autologous plus allogeneic...
