Background:Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder without any truly effective pharmacological treatment at present, early accurate diagnosis is important for the delaying of disease progression and proper management It would be desirable to have a peripheral biological marker to identify patients affected by AD Amyloid β-peptide originates from a larger precursor, the amyloid precursor protein (APP). which can be seen in the platelet of its equivalent to those found in brain. To investigate if there is a correlation between level of platelet APP isoform and AD, we evaluate a cohort of subjects including patients affected by sporadic AD, vascular dementia, and controls Subjects & Methods :Thirty-five patients with sporadic AD diagnosed according to the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke-Alzheimer's Disease and Relatec Disorders criteria (NINCDS-ADRDA) and 26 vascular dementia patients diagnosed by the Diagnosis and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fouth Edition (DSM-Ⅳ) criteria and 12 controls were included Blood sample were drawn from fasting state and collected into 3 mL of 3.8% sodium citrate. Platelets were collected by centrifugation at 500 g for 20 minutes and washed. and the platelet pellet was stored at -80℃ until used APP was assessed by western blot analysis and quantified by densitometry using Image Analyzer Results:In platelets densitometer as well as the result of Western blot was higher compared with those of patients with non-Alzheimer dementia and controls We observed statistically significant reductions in the ratio of 120 kDa to 130 kDa APP to 110 kDa APP (APPr) for patients with probable AD compared with control subjects and patients with vascular dementia APPr levels in AD correlated with the severity of dementia measured by CDR. Accuracy levels measured by Receiver Operating Curve analysis showed that a cut-off level of 0.45 resulted in a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 74%, with an area under the curve of 0 793 Conclusion:Platelet APPr allowed to differentiate AD from normal aging and vascular dementia with high sensitivity and specificity These findings suggest that platelet APPr may be a helpful peripheral marker for diagnosis and clinical progression of Alzheimer disease.

Tumor-draining lymph node mononuclear (TDLMN) cells are specifically sensitized to the growing tumor but such cells are deficient for mediating an antitumor response. In this study, we examined the feasibility of using mycobacterial 30 kDa or Triton X-100 solubilized protein (TSP) antigen to stimulate mononuclear cells of colon cancer-draining lymph node for the generation of cell mediated immune effector cells. The proliferative response of TDLMN cells stimulated with mycobacterial 30 kDa or TSP antigen was determined by ^(3)H-thymidine incorporation assay. The proliferation of TDLMN cells to mycobacterial 30 kDa or TSP antigen was significantly increased in PPD (+) patients, but a poor response to the 30 kDa or TSP antigen was observed in PPD (-). The expression on γδ T cells to mycobacterial 30 kDa or TSP antigen was assessed by flow cytometry. The γδ T cells from PPD ( + ) patient responded only to 30 kDa antigen but to TSP antigen. An investigation of cytokine mRNA expression was undertaken using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to follow TDLMN cells stimulated with the 30 kDa or TSP antigens for 5 days. The IFN-γ and TNF-α mRNA expression was only induced in TDLMN cells of PPD ( + ) patient in response to the 30 kDa or TSP antigen. The IL-2 mRNA expression was induced in both PPD (+) and PPD (-) in response to the 30 kDa or TSP antigen. But the IL-4 mRNA expression was not induced in response to the 30 kDa or TSP antigen. These results suggest that the 30 kDa and TSP antigens may serve as biologic response modifier for the generation of cell mediated immune effector cells.

As modern people's interest in health grows, wearable healthcare-related technologies that can collect biometric information and receive health-related services regardless of time and place are developing. This paper proposes the healthcare system based on voice recognition function. Unlike conventional wearable healthcare systems, the proposed system provides real-time telemedicine and diagnosis and the direct connection with doctors is possible through it. And almost all functions of the application in it are operated with voice commands to lower user access barriers. Because it deals with personal information including medical information, encryption algorithms have been applied between all data movements. Finally, the healthcare system proposed in this paper is expected to increase convenience in health care and reduce the medical gap.

The incidence of tuberculous pleuritis is high in Korea where the disease is endemic. Diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis is often problematic for its difficulty in detecting microorganism by stain or culture and sometimes it is not available and to obtain specimens from the pleura because highly invasive procedures are needed. Repeated pleural biopsy is almost always hard for patients. Recent studies on tuberculosis have interest on new methods for accurate and rapid diagnosis. Serologic assay is one of the new imerging diagnostic method for tuerculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Total 38 subjects admitted in the Department of Respiratory Division of Internal Medicine of Chung-Nam National University Hospital are involved in this study. Median age of patients with tuberculous pleuritis was 40 years old, ranging from 18 to 88 years. All patients were receving treatmented by combination anti-tuberculous therapy after the test. The cardboard folding device contained a nitrocellulose strip on which the 38-kDa antigen from M. tuberculosis has been applied. When a specimen (pleural effusion, serum) flows past the nitrocellulose strip, antibodies specific for the 38-kDa antigen bind to the antigen line. In a reverse flow, the bound antibodies are detected by a goat anti-human immunoglobulin G antibody conjugated to colloidal gold particles and show a pink to red positive line. The test is completed in a maximum of 15 minites. Two of the 38 subjects showed positivity. One case was from the pleura and the other from the serum. From the above data, we concluded that ICT Tuberculosis^( ) test is not effective in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleuritis.

Identification and characterization of mycobacterial antigens are critical for evaluation of their role in diagnosis, vaccination, and pathogenesis of mycobacterial diseases. An attempt has been made to immunologic characterize the 55 kDa protein antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv which attracted our interest because it is present in high concentration in 50-80% ammonium sulfate fraction of the culture filtrate. Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed to 55 kDa antigen were produced. MAbs MT55-1 and MT55-2 reacted with a single 55 kDa protein band. On examination of degree for cross-reactivity with other mycobacterial species by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting, these antibodies reacted strongly with M. tuberculosis and M. bovis BCG, and reacted weakly with M. marinum and M. smegmatis. To investigated the subcellular distribution of MAbs defined epitopes in the 55 kDa antigen within the mycobacterium, we isolated three major subcellular factions of M. tuberculosis, namely, cell wall, cytoplasmic membrane, and cytosol, by a simple fractionation procedure. MAb MT55-1 reactive cpitope was found in the cytosol when tested by immunoblotting. A sandwich ELISA was initially developed for detecting 55 kDa antigen using MT55-1 MAb in mycobacterial culture filtrate before detecting it in clincal specimens. The minimal detectable concentration was 1.0 ㎍/m1 for M. tuberculosis culture filtrate and 100 ㎍/ml for sonic extracts of M. bovis BCG and M. marinum, respectively. But the 55 kDa antigen was not detected in sonic extracts of other mycobacterial species examined. Although further evaluations are required, this study suggests that the 55 kDa antigen may be of interest as potential diagnostic reagent.

The various clinical features of tuberculosis are mediated by diverse cytokines produced by various immune cells which are initially triggered by M. tuberculosis antigens. CD4+ T cells can be classified into two subsets according to the patterns of cytokines they produce; Thl cells give rise to cell-mediated immunity and are characterized by the production of IL-2 and IFN-y, whereas Th2 cells are more efficient in mediating antibody production and secrete II-4, IL-5, IL-6 and II-10, Thl cells can control Th2 cell and vice versa. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy, cured and chronic refractory tuberculosis patients were stimulated with PPD, TSP and PHA antigen, and lymphoproliferative response and expression of II-2, IL- 10, TNF-α mRNAs were measured. Lymphoproliferative responses to PPD, TSP and PHA antigen were depressed in chronic refractory case compared with others expression of IL-2 mRNA was depressed in chronic refractory case stimulated with all antigens. Expression of IL-10 and TNF-α were depressed in cured and chronic refractory cases stimulated with PPD and TSP antigens.

HL-60 세포주를 이용한 결핵균항원의 세포성면역반응의 분석

Most persons who become infected with M. tuberculosis mount a protective immune response and remain clinically well, the only evidence of infection being development of a positive tuberculin skin test. Five to 10% develop tuberculosis disease within the first 2 years after infection (primary tuberculosis) or thereafter (reactivation tuberculosis). Acquired resistance against tuberculosis paradigmatically rests on cell-mediated immunity, with the major factors being mononuclear phagocytes and T Lymphocytes. While the former cells act as the principal effectors, the latter ones serve as the predominant inducers of protection. The usefulness of the single dose of BCG routinely given in childhood in many developing countries in preventing far more commonly occurring tuberculosis in adults is in doubt. An effective and safe vaccine against tuberculosis is sorely needed. A subunit vaccine are capable of inducing protective immunity and could have substantial advantages over BCG or other whole-bacterium vaccines. The human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 adopted characteristic macrophage-like properties, including adherence and CD14 expression after a period of continuous culture at high ambient CO_(2) concentration. When HL-60 cells were cultured with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_(3) for 4 days, the cells acquired the activity to potentiate T cell proliferation by the 30 kDa or 38 kDa antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv Therefore, vitamin D-treated HL-60 cells showed the function of the antigen presenting cells.

결핵성 수막염 환자에서 결핵균 30 kDa 및 32 kDa 단백항원에 대한 항체반응의 비교

The 30 and 32 kDa antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv culture filtrates, identified as biologically important proteins in the immune responses against mycobacterial infection, were purified and used in enzyme linked ummunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination in specific IgG and IgM levels in cerebrospinal fluids of 15 patients with tuberculous meningitis and 17 controls with nontuberculous diseases. High reactivity to both antigens was observed in tuberculous meningitis. Mean IgG and IgM antibody levels differed significantly (P < 0.001) between patients and con trols. Mean IgG antibody levels were also higher than IgM levels in tuberculous meningitis. A comparison of the antibody levels against the 30 and 32 kDa antigen within the tuberculous meningitis patients showed higher IgG reactivity to the 30 kDa than to the 32 kDa antigen, suggesting that the antibody response of these patients is directed predominantly against the 30 kDa protein. However, the patterns of reactivity to 30/32 kDa, 30 kDa and 32 kDa antigen in individual subjects were similar. By the cut-off value adding 2 stsndard deviation to the mean absorbance of controls, the sensitivity and specificity of the IgG antibody to the 30 kDa antigen were 100% and 94.4%, respectively. These values were higher than those obtained by 30/ 32 kDa and 32 kDa antigen. From the above results, it is suggested that the 30 kDa antigen may be dominant antigen and more valuable in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis than 32 kDa antigen.
