True Arrhenius relationships of human lactate dehydrogenase.

Z Klin Chem Klin Biochem

Published: January 1975

The pyruvate and NADH concentrations and the buffer pH which gave maximal activity with LDH isoenzymes derived from human heart and liver tissue were established for the temperatures 25 degrees C, 30 degrees C, 35 degrees C, 37 degrees C,, 40 degrees C, 45 degrees C, and 50 degrees C. The velocities of the LDH isoenzymes using these maximal assay conditions were used to obtain Arrhenius plots, i.e. log initial velocity against inverse absolute temperature. The Arrhenius plots were linear with both isoenzyme preparations up to 45 degrees C. Between 45 degrees C and 50 degrees C it appeared that this linear relationship no longer held, particularly with the liver tissue. When the activation energies were calculated both isoenzyme preparations exhibited several points of inflexion, in each case occuring at the same temperatures. These inflexions represent a change in the reaction kinetics, possibly a conformational change in the enzyme. The results also indicate that the LDH 1 and 2 isoenzymes are more efficient than LDH 4 and 5.

In this paper, the pH-sensitive targeting functional material NGR-poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (NGR-PEtOz-CHMC, NPC) modified quercetin (QUE) liposomes (NPC-QUE-L) was constructed. The structure of NPC was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum (H-NMR). Pharmacokinetic results showed that the accumulation of QUE in plasma of the NPC-QUE-L group was 1.

Objective: Early education and care (ECEC) is part of the everyday life of most children in developed economies presenting exceptional opportunity to support nutrition and ongoing food preferences. Yet, the degree to which such opportunity is captured in policy-driven assessment and quality ratings of ECEC services is unknown.

Design: Abductive thematic analysis was conducted, guided by key domains of knowledge in nutrition literature and examining identified themes within these domains.

The impact of Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically shifted the education landscape between recent college and university graduates and pathways to graduate degrees. In my perspective article, I wish to share the challenges, reflections, and a call-to-action framework in ways we can support and advocate for postbaccalaureate persons excluded because of their ethnicity of race, or from a structurally marginalized community or PEERS through the lens of mindfulness, humility, reflection, and deep listening. Through cross-institutional community network support, culturally responsive mentoring of postbaccalaureate PEERS is one of the key dimensions in empowering communities toward health, environmental, and social justice.

Using the hospital frailty risk score to assess oesophago-gastric cancer patient outcomes: a retrospective cohort study.

Int J Surg

January 2025

Department of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.

Background: The inclusion of clinical frailty in the assessment of patients planned for major surgery has proven to be an independent predictor of outcome. Since approximately half of all patients in the UK diagnosed with oesophagogastric (OG) cancer are over 75 years of age, assessment of frailty may be important in selection for surgery.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study applied the Hospital Frailty Risk Score to data obtained from the NHS Secondary Uses Service electronic database for patients aged 75 years or older undergoing oesophagectomy and gastrectomy between April 2017 and March 2020.
