71 patients with nonspecific diseases of the colon were examined before and after hemosorption for concentrations of seromucoid, orosomucoid, immunoglobulins G,M,A, C3 and C4 complement component fractions, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, C-reactive protein, properdin, transferrin. It was found that hemosorption results in lowering of all the above concentrations in nonspecific ulcerative colitis, except seromucoid and orosomucoid in moderate and acute colitis. In response to hemosorption serum glycoproteins levels varied with the disease severity, its duration and metabolic activity of the liver. Concentrations of seromucoids, orosomucoid, alpha 1-antitrypsin changed in correlation with clinical manifestations of colon inflammation and may serve as criteria of hemosorption efficacy.

Background/aim: α1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP), also known as orosomucoid, is an acute-phase protein that has been found increased in plasma of cancer patients. This study investigates the role of AGP expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its association with clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the correlation between AGP levels and the prognosis of ccRCC through an analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Orosomucoids (ORMs) have historically been considered as carriers involved in drug and lipid delivery. However, recent studies indicate ORM2 as a hepatokine involved in metabolic regulation. Here, we highlight the functions of ORM2 in controlling metabolic health and disease, focusing on its newly discovered regulatory mechanisms.

Accurate measurement of plasma protein binding (PPB) is of critical importance in drug discovery. Methodologies for PPB measurement continue to evolve to address the challenges of highly bound compounds. In order to generate high quality PPB data, it is crucial to not only apply state-of-the-art methods and highly sensitive and selective detectors, but also use high-quality plasma.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic and relapsing condition characterized by persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The complex pathogenesis of IBD involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune factors, which complicates the achievement of long-term remission. Lower abdominal pain, stomach cramps, blood in stool, chronic diarrhea, fatigue, and unexpected weight loss are common presenting symptoms.
