Hereditary ochronosis in very few cases has been examined electron microscopically or histochemically. In this disease homogentisic acid, a normal intermediary of tyrosine metabolism, forms in excessive amounts. This is believed to be due to absence or defective activity of homogentisic acid oxidase, an enzyme system necessary to break the benzene ring and to further break it down to fumaric and acetoacetic acids. Ochronotic pigment, a polymerized form of homogentisic acid, deposits mainly in mesenchymal tissues. There has been a question whether the pigment originates from the collagenous tissues, or deposits passively, where in contrast to melanin it induces degenerative changes.

Molecular Exclusion Chromatography

SummaryMolecular exclusion chromatography was performed on samples of urine from normal and aminonucleoside nephrotic rats. Normal urine contained 2 peaks of urokinase activity, one having a molecular weight of 22,000 and the other around 200,000. Nephrotic urine contained three peaks of activity with MW’s 126,000, 60,000 and 30,000. Plasma activator determined from euglobulin precipitate had a MW. in excess of 200,000. The results indicate that in the normal animal, plasma plasminogen activator does not escape into the urine in substantial quantities but under the conditions of extreme proteinuria there may be some loss through the kidney. The alteration in urokinase output in nephrotic animals indicates a greatly disordered renal fibrinolytic enzyme system.The findings of this study largely support the hypothesis that plasma plasminogen activator of renal origin and urinary plasminogen activator (urokinase) are different molecular species.

Summary1. The concentration of the major components of the fibrinolytic enzyme system was compared in venous and arterial blood samples from male subjects.2. The plasminogen activator concentration was higher in venous blood and the arterio-venous difference increased as its concentration rose, but the ratio of the arterial to venous level remained constant.3. No arterio-venous difference was found for anti-urokinase activity, antiplasmin, plasminogen and fibrinogen.4. It is concluded that venous blood determinations of the components of the fibrinolytic enzyme system reflect satisfactorily arterial blood levels.

Standard Methods

SummaryApplication of the methods of enzyme-kinetic analysis to the results of clotting tests is feasible and can yield useful results. However, the standard methods of enzyme kinetics are not applicable without modifications imposed by the peculiarities of the blood-clotting enzyme system. The influence of the following complicating circumstances is calculated :1. Substrate is not present in excess.2. Only relative measures exist for concentrations of substrate or enzymes.3. Enzymes and substrates are often added together.4. Reagents are not pure.5. Clotting-time is our only measure for clotting-velocity.Formulas are deduced, which makes it possible to recognize the effect of these complications.

Матриксные металлопротеиназы - ферментный комплекс, необходимый для сохранения гомеостаза. Он участник нормальной, постоянно текущей реконструкции всех живых тканей. Действие патогенных факторов нарушает слаженную работу этого комплекса. Часто нарушение выражается излишней активностью ферментов, усиливающей патогенное действие. Однако и заживление, форсированное новообразование тканевых элементов, может происходить только при повышенной, в сравнении с нормой, активности металлопротеиназ. Такая ситуация требует от медицины умения разумно вмешиваться в работу ферментной системы. В статье представлены некоторые результаты этих вмешательств. Matrix metalloproteinases - enzyme complex necessary for maintenance of the homeostasis. He is a participant of normal, constantly current reconstruction of all living tissues. Action of pathogenic factors breaks harmonious work of this complex. Often violation is expressed by the excessive activity of enzymes amplifying pathogenic action. However and healing, which is accelerated new growth of tissue elements, can happen only at raised, compared with norm, metalloproteinase activity. Such situation demands from medicine of ability participate reasonably in work of enzyme system. The article presents some of the results of these actions.
