In order to improve the technique for histochemical demonstration of the different lymphocyte patterns by alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) activity from a single microscopic slide, 10 kinds of comparative experiments were performed. The results showed as follows. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells first fixed in 0.4% glutaldehyde and postfixed in 15% formol calcium gave the best effect on preserving the enzyme activity and on connterstaning of the leucocyte nuclei. During formol calcium fixation, the erythrocytes were dissolved from the diluted blood film with PBS more easily than from the blood smear without any dilution. The lymphocytes were distributed more uniformly and densely in the former specimen than in the latter. When incubated with 0.5 mg alpha-naphthyl acetate/ml medium in hexoazotized pararosaniline for 1(1/2)~2 hrs at 37℃, the distinct ANAE patterns of circulating lymphocytes were more readily identified.In 28 healthy adults the differential counts of the lymphocyte ANAE patterns from the diluted blood specimen was similar to those found from the specimen of isolated lymphocytes. The focal pattern was about 56%, the diffuse pattern about 25% and the negative pattern about 19%; while the isolated lymphocyte specimen was compared with the diluted blood film from the same individuals, the focal pattern was decreased insignificantly, the diffuse pattern increased and the negative pattern decreased significantly.

The met-enkephalin (MEK), leu-enkephalin (LEK) and ?-endorphin (?-EP) immunoreactivities were detected in the circulating lymphocytes of 64 guinea pigs by PAP immunohistochemical method under the conditions of electroacupuncture, naloxone or exogenous opioid like peptides (OLP). Subsequently the ?-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE)was demonstrated on partial immunostained lymphocyte samples. The results showed that the OLP immunoreactivity with different intensity was found in approximate 96% of the lymphocytes. There was a positive correlation between the ANAE-focal pattern lymphocytes and MEK-IIRL (intense immunoreactivity lymphocytes)or ?-EP-IIRL; whereas there was no significant correlation between the ANAE-focal pattern lymphocytes and LEK-IIRL. The MEK-IIRL, LEK-IIRL and ?-EP-IIRL were all increased markedly in the guinea pigs which underwent electroacupuncture at "Zusanli" points. There was no significant difference in MEK-IIRL, LEK-IIRL and ?-EP-IIRL, when the acupuncture group, naloxone group and control group were compared with each other. However, the LEK-IIRL, MEK-IIRL and ?-EP-IIRL could be depressed by naloxone, when the lymphocytes were preincubated with 10~(-7)mol/L of MEK, LEK or ?-EP in vitro. Hence, the naloxone group had a significant difference in MEK-IIRL, LEK-IIRL or ?-EP-IIRL when compared with the acupuncture group. A high peak of the lymphocyte MEK-IR among the range of 10~(-10)—10~(-8)mol/L of MEK preincubation in the acupuncture group when compared with the control group. It suggests that electroacupuncture may enhance activity of the unbound MEK receptor.

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was used to monitor the whole unfolding process of bovine insulin resulted from the dithiothreitol (DTT) reduction. An off-line matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was employed to determine the molecular weight of the reaction products at the same time to confirm the observation results obtained by CZE. The structural change during the process of bovine insulin unfolding could be observed directly from the electropherogram and information of protein unfolding could be obtained simultaneously. The results indicated that as an effective tool of monitoring the conformational change of protein,the method of CZE was simple,quick,sensitive and lower sample consumption.
