Only registered users can translate articles

The clinical and biochemical findings in a family with late-onset holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) deficiency are described. The index patient had two life-threatening episodes of metabolic decompensation at the age of 13 and 18 months with ketotic hypoglycaemia, vomiting and progressive loss of

Isolated biotin-resistant 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency in two sibs.

Two Vietnamese siblings with an isolated deficiency of 3-methylcrotonyl coenzyme A carboxylase in leucocytes and cultured fibroblasts are described. Both children excreted massive amounts of 3-methylcrotonylglycine and 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid. There was no in vivo or in vitro biochemical response

Epilepsy in biotinidase deficiency after biotin treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with severe biotinidase deficiency (BD), if untreated, may exhibit seizures, psychomotor delay, deafness, ataxia, visual pathology, conjunctivitis, alopecia, and dermatitis. Clinical features normally appear within the first months of life, between two and five. Seizures are one of the most

Biotin deficiency in hyperemesis gravidarum.

A 7-month-old girl was brought to hospital due to vomiting. Upon admission, she was in a convulsive state and stupor with extremely low blood glucose. Head computed tomography showed brain edema, and comprehensive treatment for acute encephalopathy was initiated immediately. Severe hypoglycemia,

Establishment of highly specific and quantitative immunoassay systems for staphylococcal enterotoxin A, B, and C using newly-developed monoclonal antibodies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) activities remain after boiling or treating with proteases. The main symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, are caused by the ingestion of SEs. Among SEs, SEA has been reported to be the major and most toxic protein. A highly specific and simple assay system is

[Values of tandem mass spectrometry in etiologic diagnosis of cerebral developmental retardation].

OBJECTIVE To investigate the values of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in etiologic diagnosis and understanding therapeutic effect in cerebral developmental retardation, and to help patients in early diagnosis, treatment and favorable prognosis. METHODS One hundred and fifty-eight childhood

Changes in the carboxyl terminus of the beta subunit of human propionyl-CoA carboxylase affect the oligomer assembly and catalysis: expression and characterization of seven patient-derived mutant forms of PCC in Escherichia coli.

Only registered users can translate articles

Propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) catalyzes the biotin-dependent carboxylation of propionyl-CoA to d-methylmalonyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix. Human PCC is a dodecamer composed of pairs of nonidentical alpha and beta subunits encoded by PCCA and PCCB genes, respectively. Deficiency of PCC results

Low density of ghrelin cells in the oxyntic mucosa correlated to slow gastric emptying in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ghrelin is a peptide hormone that has been isolated from the stomach and localized to endocrine cells in the oxyntic mucosa. Ghrelin acts synergistically with GH-releasing hormone and increases appetite and feeding. It also accelerates gastric and small intestinal motility in rodents. Patients with

Phase I trial of a selective c-MET inhibitor ARQ 197 incorporating proof of mechanism pharmacodynamic studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The hepatocyte growth factor/c-MET axis is implicated in tumor cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. ARQ 197 is an oral, selective, non-adenosine triphosphate competitive c-MET inhibitor. A phase I trial of ARQ 197 was conducted to assess safety, tolerability, and target

Subacute presentation of propionic acidemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Propionic acidemia is a hereditary metabolic disease caused by a deficiency of enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase, which is involved in the catabolism of ramified amino acids, odd-chain fatty acids, and other metabolites; the deficiency of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of toxic substances in
