We analytically and clinically evaluated Abbott's IMx assay for creatine kinase (CK) isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) in serum. Over a 1-year period, the method was more specific but less precise than catalytic isoenzyme measurements by electrophoresis or immunoinhibition. Sera from different individuals without electrophoretic evidence of CK-MB but containing macro CK type 1 (n = 20), mitochondrial CK (n ...

the current study dealt with the interaction of garlic homogenate (gh) with propranolol (pro) in rat, and to determine whether this effect is associated with biochemical and histological changes. albino rats were treated with gh at three different doses of 125 mg/kg (gh-125), 250 mg/kg (gh-250) and 500 mg/kg (gh-500) orally for 30 days and pro was incorporated in the interactive groups during t...

The response of total creatine kinase (CK) and the creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK MB) was studied in 22 male post-infarction patients (three to six months after myocardial infarction) after a functional graded exercise test, before entering a rehabilitation programme. Eleven subjects (group A) completed the test without developing significant electrocardiographic abnormalities. Eleven subjects (...

Among the conditions in which creatine kinase (CK)-MB activity is elevated in the absence of myocardial injury or infarction, macroenzyme (macro) CK merits special attention from clinicians. We present 2 cases, 1 with macro CK type 1 and the other with macro CK type 2, to stress the common clinical situations and diagnostic dilemma that clinicians encounter when evaluating patients with macro C...

for X,Y ∈ ḡ, m,n ∈ Z, where X(m) = X⊗t with X ∈ ḡ and m ∈ Z and (·|·) is the normalized invariant inner product of ḡ. We identify ḡ with ḡ⊗C ⊂ g. Fix the triangular decomposition ḡ = n̄− ⊕ h̄⊕ n̄+, and the Cartan subalgebra of g as h = h̄⊕CK ⊕CD. We have h = h̄ ⊕CΛ0 ⊕Cδ, where Λ0 and δ are elements dual to K and D, respectively. Let L(λ) be the irreducible highest weight representation of g of highe...

A bstract Form factors, as quantities involving both local operators and asymptotic particle states, contain information of the spectrum on-shell amplitudes. So far studies form factors have been mostly focused on large N c planar limit, with a few exceptions Sudakov factors. In this paper, we discuss systematical construction full color dependent generic operators. We study decomposition for g...

We prove Feigin-Frenkel type dualities between subregular W-algebras of A,B and principal W-superalgebras sl(1|n),osp(2|2n). The A case proves a conjecture Feigin Semikhatov. Let (g1,g2)=(sln+1,sl(1|n+1)) or (so2n+1,osp(2|2n)) let r be the lacity g1. k complex number ? defined by r(k+h1?)(?+h2?)=1 with hi? dual Coxeter numbers gi. Our first main result is that Heisenberg cosets Ck(g1) C?(g2) th...

We assessed the changes in sensitivity and specificity of creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes at various times after acute myocardial infarction. CK-B was measured by an immunoinhibition technique. CK-MB was measured both by column chromatography on Sephadex DEAE A-50 and by electrophoresis on agarose gel. For CK-B, the sensitivity in detecting infarct varied from 11% in the first 8 h after onset o...
