Evolution of standardization of therapeutic and diagnostic allergens produced in Russia by S. S. Masalskiy, E. I. Sakanyan, M. A. Yasnaya

“…A method of competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using specific sera containing specific IgE antibodies is used for this purpose.In addition, the specific activity of allergen preparations is certified through three additional characteristics: total protein content (using the Bradford method), protein profile (through electrophoresis in a polyacrylamide gel with sodium dodecyl sulfate under reducing conditions), and authenticity through the presence of major specific components, which is determined by the Western blot method using sera containing IgE antibodies specific for the corresponding allergen.Currently, in the Russian Federation, the standardization of therapeutic and diagnostic allergens is conducted simultaneously according to two indicators: protein nitrogen content, expressed in Protein Nitrogen Units (PNU), and allergenic (specific) activity expressed in units of allergenic activity per milliliter (EAA/ml). …”

Impaired plasma membrane calcium ATPase activity and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to calcium dysregulation in Fabry disease-related painful neuropathy by Francesco Formaggio, Asia Pizzi, Cecilia Delprete, Davide Pasqualini, Isabella Mataloni, Roberto Rimondini, Ludovica Campolongo, Vincenzo Donadio, Anna Maria Ghelli, Rocco Liguori, Marco Caprini

“…The obtained results suggest that other transport proteins participate in Ca2+ homeostasis in FD and their dysfunction may be directly involved in nociception. In this context, plasma-membrane Ca2+ ATPases exhibited reduced activity in FD, leading to an increased resting [Ca2+]i in sensory neurons. …”

Association of plasma levels of Sestrin2 with adiposity and metabolic function indices in healthy and diabetic subjects from Qatar Biobank by Muhammad Ammar Zahid, Shahenda Salah Abdelsalam, Hicham Raïq, Hanan H. Abunada, Aijaz Parray, Abdelali Agouni

“…Conversely, in the diabetic cohort, higher Sestrin2 levels were paradoxically linked to increased triglycerides (OR: 1.57), the product of triglyceride glucose and waist circumference (OR: 1.8), body fat (OR: 1.72), waist circumference (OR: 1.82), waist-to-hip ratio (OR: 1.96) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 1.48).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that Sestrin2 may play a complex and context-dependent role in metabolic regulation, potentially serving as a protective factor in healthy individuals but contributing to metabolic dysfunction in the context of established diabetes. …”
