Method for measuring maximum allowable blood concentration of heavy metals in children after integrated exposure Method for measuring maximum allowable blood concentration of heavy metals in children after integrated exposure / 2536268
Invention aims at asserting the maximum allowable blood concentrations (MAC) of heavy metals in the children living in the dirty environment as shown by health risk criteria after the chronic integrated exposure. An environmentally neglected zone is selected; a representative sampling of the children for the examination is drawn that is a basic group with using biological, social and hygienic criteria; the same criteria are used to draw a representative sampling of the children to a reference group living in the environmentally friendly zone. In the territory of the above zones, the chronic exposure of the analysed heavy metal is qualitatively assessed by establishing its average daily concentration in the ambient environment; the derived value is used to calculate a total average daily doses of a heavy metal supplied from various sources into a child's body averaged over the annual exposure for the children of both groups. Blood is sampled from the children every three months for one year to determine the content of the analysed heavy metal and also to measure the biochemical values of blood plasma and serum characterizing body responses presented by actual or potential health problems that are response markers. That is followed by calculating the average blood concentration of the analysed heavy metal and comparing it to the reference for the same heavy metal with using a Student two-sample test, thereby stating whether the children were sampled from the main and reference groups adequately.

A sliding window technology is used to assert the response markers selected. The maximum allowable concentration of the exposure marker and respective marker is determined by a technique based on ratio analysis.

The invention relates to Microbiology and can be used in medical bacteriology and medical Mycology to quantify the adhesive properties of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms isolated from human and environmental objects, to characterize their virulent properties in vitro the level of adhesion to ligands of different nature.

There are different approaches to quantify the level of adhesion of cells of microorganisms (bacteria and yeast-like fungi) to ligands of different nature.

There is a method of quantitative determination of cell adhesion of microorganisms to collagen and fibronectin, based on the specific staining of adhered cells dye crystal violet, however, such method requires deficitii cells with glutaraldehyde, the use of additional procedures for cell disruption using the detergent Triton X-100 [1].

A simpler approach is to use membranes that enclose the appropriate ligand (e.g., hemoglobin) [2]. In this case, the cells of the microorganisms associated with membrane carrier ligands, using specific adhesins, located on the surface of their cell walls. Quantitative adhesion level in this case is determined by counting the number of glue is OK microorganisms, adhered on the membrane with ligands, or by reducing the optical density of a suspension of cells of the microorganism after interaction with the membrane. However, this approach requires waste approach in the manufacture of membranes using specific components of nitrocellulose, organic solvents. In practice requires the use of relatively large amounts of membranes (to achieve a large area of the working surface of several square centimeters) and large volume (several milliliters) of a suspension of microorganisms, which is not always possible to use this method with a small number of biomaterial, for example in the presence of one small colonies of microorganisms growing on solid (agar) nutrient medium.

The closest to our invention include a method for determining the adhesion of microorganisms to the ligands adsorbed on the polystyrene surface of a 96-well plate [3]. This approach allows to avoid the use of different, including unsafe substances, as well as to bring the work to the use of micro volumes (about 100 µl), do not require a large amount of source material. However, the described invention has a number of disadvantages. First, to quantify the adhesion of cells of microorganisms are offered either the adding in of the wells (containing the adhered cells) liquid nutrient medium, either selection aliquots of a suspension of microorganisms from wells in the liquid (or culture on solid nutrient medium followed by incubation and growth assessment (counting the resulting colonies) culture of microorganisms, which allows to obtain results only after a significant amount of time (from 6 to 48 h depending on the incubation conditions and the type of microorganism). In addition, in this case, do not take into account the possibility of differences in growth rate among different strains of the same species of microorganism that can artificially increase or dilute the real difference in adhesion potential of specific strains. Secondly, the use of quantitative assessment of adhered cells of microorganisms for determining the activity of bacterial enzymes in adhered cells is practically unusable due to the variation of the activity (number) enzymes in different strains of the same species of microorganism [4] and, consequently, the lack of absolute correlation between the level of enzyme activity and the level of adhesion potential. This approach can also increase or dilute the real difference in adhesion potential of the compared strains.

In this regard, the objective of the claimed invention is to develop a simple way to quickly, less h is m for 1 hour, using the minimum amount of biomass of microorganisms in microvolumes without the use of chemical reagents to quantify the level of adhesion of cells of microorganisms (bacteria and yeast-like fungi) to ligands of different nature.

This object is achieved through the development of a detection method, which involves a preliminary sorbirovaniya in the wells of polystyrene tablet specific ligand, is added to wells of a suspension of cells of microorganisms, a short incubation of the cell suspension in the wells, the subsequent selection of an aliquot of the suspension from the wells and add it to the wells of another or of the same tablet, containing an aqueous solution of salt (for example, 0.5% sodium chloride or 0.2 M of sodium phosphate), followed by assessment of the level of adhesion of bacterial cells by determining the decrease of optical density obtained with the diluted suspension at a wavelength of 600 nm. On the basis of data obtained from optical density to determine the index of adhesion. The adhesion index (in percent) is calculated by the formula:

IA=100-100×(OP600experience/OP600control)

where

OP600experience the value of optical density of the suspension at 600 nm, selected from the wells containing ligand;

OP600control - the value of optical density is spencie at 600 nm, selected from the wells not containing ligand.

The higher the index of adhesion, the higher the level of adhesion of the microorganism to the selected ligand.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to develop a rapid method for determining the level of adhesion of microorganisms to ligands of different nature, with good reproducibility, a minimum quantity of biomass of microorganisms, using the minimum amount of biomass of microorganisms in microvolumes, there is no need to use dangerous chemicals.

For this hemoglobin is dissolved in 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer solution with pH 7.4 rate of 20 μg/ml of the Prepared solution in a volume of 50 μl contribute to the wells, incubated for 24 h at 4°C. the wells washed three times with 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.4, containing 0.05% tween-20, filling 100 ál in each well, then the tablet drained by shaking out the remaining liquid.

The method for determining the adhesive potential of microorganisms, characterized in that in the wells of polystyrene tablet absorb specific ligand selected from the range: hemoglobin, myoglobin, collagen, fibrinogen, fibronectin, immunoglobulin And add in wells with sorbed ligand cell suspension of the microorganism, spend incubation of the cell suspension in the wells for 15 minutes, take an aliquot of the suspension from the wells and add it to the wells of another or the same tablet containing an aqueous salt solution of 0.5% sodium chloride or 0.2 M of sodium phosphate and assess the level of adhesion of bacterial cells by determining the decrease of optical density obtained with the diluted suspension at a wavelength of 600 nm when compared with the control variant holes, not containing ligand.
