A Review of Electrophoretic Patterns in Disease*

چکیده

A total of 702 sera, 81 cerebrospinal fluids and 131 urine specimens were studied for the evaluation of a high resolution electrophoresis system, as well as the usefulness of electrophoresis in general. Abnormal changes were found in 41.6 percent of the serum specimens. Meaningful changes of individual fractions were most frequently encountered in the gamma frac­ tion. In six recognized electrophoretic patterns, more components can be identified by this system thus providing additional information for differ­ ential diagnosis. For instance, this system is able to demonstrate a promi­ nent beta-lipoprotein band in case of nephrotic syndrome, and can, there­ fore, distinguish this syndrome from protein-losing enteropathy. The high-resolution electrophoresis system produces good resolution for discrete gamma bands. The configuration of the monoclonal band revealed by this technique provides a preliminary identification of immunoglob­ u lin s, w h ich is p rac tica lly im possib le w ith the conven tional e le c ­ trophoresis. The excellent capacity of demonstrating oligoclonal banding is one of the most distinguished features of this system. The oligoclonal bands detected in cerebral spinal fluid are very helpful for the diagnosis of dem yelinating disease and may provide a clue of the presence of tumor if detected in serum. Urine electrophoresis is a good tool for screening of Bence Jones proteinuria; false-positive results were not found and multiple monoclonal banding is specific for myelomatous disorders especially for light chain myeloma.

A comparison of milk protein status of healthy and mastitic cows under denaturing conditions

Mastitis is one of the most important diseases of dairy cattle in the world. The identification and characterization of the constituent proteins in milk can be useful for studying the biochemistry and pathogenesis of mastitis. In this study, the electrophoretic patterns of milk from 10 healthy and 30 mastitic cows were studied. All of the latter milk samples were California Mastitis Test (CMT) ...

Preparation of Nanohydroxyapatite-Carbon Nanotube Composite Coatings on 316L Stainless Steel Using Electrophoretic Deposition

Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube composite coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). AISI 316L stainless steel and ethanol were used as substrate and dispersing medium, respectively. 5%wt carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as reinforcing phase. Uniform and macrocrack-free coatings were obtained both for hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-5%wt CNT coatings. Scanning electron micros...

Concept of dietary patterns is new in the filed of nutritional epidemiology. However, it has not been focused to the extent that foods or nutrients have been considered. Although, identifying the association between nutrients and foods intake with chronic diseases is valuable yet, recent evidences have shown that the clinical trials that have used nutrients are not too successful to indicate th...
