2.A Study on the Acrylamide Gel Electrophoretic Analysis of Joint Fluid Proteins
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1979;14(1):171-175
Analysis of synovial fluid is a most helpful aid in diagnosis and differentiating the varlous types of arthritis. But little information is available on joint fluid proteins and immunoglobullns. The present study was designed to obtain more precise information about each component of joint fluid proteins, using Acrylamide Gel Microzone system with a Densitometer. The following results were obtained: 1. The amount of total protein in both types of arthritis was approximately twice as high as that in the normal group (Normal;2.12± 0.50g%, R.A.;4.51± 1.18g%, Tbc;4.10± 1.02g%). 2. The albumin fraction was decreased in both types of arthrltis (R.A.;42.15± 5.21g%, Tbc; 44.24± 5.61g%) in comparison with 65.25± 4.40g% in the normal group. 3. The percentages of Alpha 1 and Beta globulin in both types of arthritis were similar to that in the normal group. (Normal:Alpha 1;6.01± 1.10, beta; 12.40± 1.90) 4. The percentages of Alpha 2 globulin and gamma globulin in both types of arthritis were approximately twice as high as that in the normal group. (Normal:Alpha 2;5.31± 1.62, Gamrna; 11.03± 1.51).

4.Total Protein and Paper Electrophoretic Fractions of the Serum of Syphilitic Patients.
Korean Journal of Urology 1967;8(1):9-15
Many reports have been found in the literature regarding the electrophoretic study of various urogenital diseases, but those on syphilis are relatively rare. It is author's opinion that the correlation between syphilis and the dysfunction of various organs must also be elucidated into detail. On this view point the author has studied the total protein and paper electrophoretic fractions of the serum derived from the patients of syphilis in 17 males and 5 females visited our department during the period from October, 1962 to September, 1964 Age distribution was between 18 and 45 years of age and duration of history was from 3 months to 8 months. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Total protein and electrophoretic fractions of 22 patients' serum: a) The amount of total protein decreased slightly. b) Albumin decreased markedly. c) Alpha 1 globulin decreased remarkably. d) Alpha 2 globulin decreased slightly. e) Beta globulin increased very remarkably. f) Gamma globulin increased markedly. g) A/G ratio decreased very remarkably. All of the above patterns were compared with normal rate. 2. Total protein and electrophoretic fractions of same 22 patients' serum in duration 30 days after complete therapy: a) The amount of total protein, albumin alpha 2 globulin, gamma globulin and A/G ratio etc. are unchanged b) Alpha 1 globulin decreased markedly. c) Beta globulin increased slightly. All of the above pattern were compared with normal rate.

6.Electrophoretic Changes of Serum Protein with Glomerulonephritis: A Study Using Microzone Electrophoresis on Cellulose Acetate.
Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1978;21(5):368-375
Protein levels were measured in 91 cases with acute glomerulonephritis from 2 years to 15 years of age. Measurements were made using microzone electrophoresis on cellulose acetate. A unique and somewhat characteristic pattern was obtained in all our patients with acute glomerulonephritis. The mean values of the total serum protein were significantly decreased, except in the age group of 23 years, with acute glomerulonephritis as compared with the normal values of the total serum protein. The mean levels of albumin were also decreased with statistical significance in all our patients. On the whole, the levels for the alpha-1 and alpha-2 globulins tended to be somewhat higher in patients with acute glomerulonephritis than in the healthy children. But there were no significant differences among them. In the beta fraction, the mean levels with acute glomerulonephritis were decreased with ststistical significance except in the age group of 23 years. In the gamma fraction, the mean levels with acute glomerulonephritis were markedly increased as compared with the mean values of the healthy children. To summarize, the most striking changes in the patients with acute glomerulonephritis consisted mainly of a moderate reduction of the total protein and albumin, a decrease in the beta fraction and an increase in the gamma globulin. None showed a significant increase in the alpha-1 and the alpha-2 fraction.

Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 1991;24(1):1-7
The concentrations of serum proteins fractions and their electrophoretical patterns were investigated in 135 patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis who participated in confirmative examination for pneumoconiosis in December 1989. Their radiographical profusions were classified as 1/0 or more. Agarose film and phosphoric acid-sodium hydroxide buffer(pH 8.6) were used for electrophoresis. Concentration of each protein fractions and electrophoretical patterns seemed to be equivalent to reference values. Serum alpah1- and beta-globulin concentrations, however, were significantly different(p<0.50) among categories of small opacity profusions and showed the lowest level in the group of category 1. Albumin concentrations decreased and alpha2-globulin concentrations increased significantly(p<0.05) in the group of complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. gamma-globulin concentrations were not varied by category of profusions nor by pulmonary tuberculosis complication.

8.Clinical Efficacy of Laser Flare-Cell Meter.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1991;32(8):702-707
Aqueous flare, the scattering of light by the Tyndall phenomenon, have been applied for the assessment of aqueous protein by the ophthalmologists. Since the intensity of flare ultimately reflects the severity of ocular inflammation. Laser flare-cell meter was developed to determine protein concentration and number of cells in the aqueous with non-invasive technique. The principle of evaluation was similar to that of slit-lamp examination in the viewpoint of scattering of light. The significant linear correlation was observed between the values of concentration for protein and photon counts, in the range from 5mg/100ml to 2,500ml/100ml in boine serum albumin (BSA) and from 5mg/100ml to 1,000mg/100ml in human gamma globulin (HGG), the valuses of HGG was three times higher than those of BSA in the same concentration. In experiments for WBC, RBC and latex particles with diameter of 2.95 micrometer, although somewhat differences was observed according to the sort of cells, significant linear correlation was shown between the number of detected peaks and that of cells.

9.Curative Effect of Simply Hormone and Combined Gamma Globulin and Thrombopoietin on Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia.
Journal of Experimental Hematology 2019;27(5):1617-1621
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the curative effect of simply hormone and combined gamma globulin and thrombopoietin(TPO) on primary immune thrombocytopenia(PITP).
METHODS:
100 patients with PITP were divided into simply drug groups, and combined drug group each for 50 cases. The patients in single drug group were given simply hormone therapy, the patients in combined drug group were given gamma globulin and thrombopoietin. The levels of TPO, platelet activating factor (PAF) were detected by DAS-ELISA. The differences of clinical curative effect, clinical indicators, biochemical indexes and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.
RESULTS:
The total effective rate of combined drug group (90.00%) was obviously higher than that in single drug group (66.00%)(P<0.05). Amount of platelet infusion in combined drug group was obviously less than that in single drug group, platelet recovery time and effect onset time in combined drug group were significantly shorter than those in single drug group, and the maintaining time in combined drug group was obviously longer than that in single drug group. At the same time, the platelet peak in combined drug group was higher than that in single drug group (P<0.05). The levels of TPO, PAF between the two groups did not show statisticall significant differences before treatment (P>0.05), however, the above-mentioned indexes of two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), among them, the indexes in combined drug group were obviously lower ttan those in sigle drug group (P<0.05). The adverse reaction and mortality rate between the two groups did not show statistically significant differences(P>0.05), the recurrence rate in combined drug group(2%) was obviously lower than that in single group(14.00%) (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The curative effect of hormone, as well as gamma globulin combined with TPO to treat PITP are satisfying, can obviously improve the levels of TPO, PAF, and the drug safety is higher. but the efficacy of combined drug is surperior to single drug.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the characteristics of serum protein in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) during the symptomatic period.
METHOD:
Fifty-five patients with BPPV and 58 control subjects were enrolled in the study. All the patients underwent the Dixe-Hallpike and Roll maneuver to confirm the type of BPPV. The average time of onset was (1.0 ± 0.8)days in the group of BPPV. The clinical features and the laboratory tests of serum protein electrophoresis, blood counts, and liver and kidney function were performed in both groups.
RESULT:
The levels of serum albumin (Alb), α1 globulin, α2 globulin and β globulin of BPPV group did not differ statistically in the two groups (P > 0.05); The γ-globulin levels were significantly higher in patients with BPPV than in controls (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The γ-globulin levels are increased when BPPV is attacking.
