Technical Analysis Today - Bone Alkaline Phosphatase

Overview:

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can be divided into hepatic, skeletal, intestinal, renal and placental isoenzymes according to the tissue site, and the clinically detected serum ALP is the enzyme produced by these tissues. The total activity, its specificity and sensitivity are low, and the diseases of these tissues have a great influence on its activity, so ALP can only roughly reflect the bone metabolism. Bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) is derived from osteoblasts and excludes the effects of liver, kidney, and intestinal diseases, and can more accurately reflect bone metabolism.

Osteoblasts and osteoclasts in bone tissue are the basic functional cells of bone tissue metabolism. They have bone formation and bone resorption respectively. Their differentiation and maturation affect the dynamic balance of bone metabolism, osteoblasts and broken cells. Bone cells influence each other's functions through information exchange with each other. As a result, bone formation activity and bone resorption activity are mutually regulated, forming a special coupling mechanism to maintain the growth and development of normal bone tissue structure. When the bone resorption is much greater than the bone formation, destroying the bone metabolism balance can cause bone imbalance disorders such as osteoporosis, and easily cause fractures.

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass and abnormal bone microstructure. Causes include: endocrine diseases (hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism), osteomalacia, renal failure, gastrointestinal diseases, long-term corticosteroid use, multiple myeloma, bone metastases, etc.

In Paget's bone disease, osteoclasts and osteoblasts become abnormally active in certain areas of the bone, and their metabolic rate in these areas increases abnormally. These overactive metabolic areas are expanding and the structure of the bones becomes abnormal, making the bones weak and prone to fractures and nerve involvement.

Test specimens and requirements:

Specimen volume:

0.6 mL

Reference:

male

<2 years old: 25-221 mcg/L

2-9 years old: 27-148 mcg/L

10-13 years old: 35-169 mcg/L

14-17 years old: 13-111 mcg/L

female

<2 years old: 28-187 mcg/L

2-9 years old: 31-152 mcg/L

10-13 years old: 29-177 mcg/L

14-17 years old: 7-41 mcg/L

adult

Premenopausal: <or =14 mcg/L

Postmenopausal: <or =22 mcg/L

Detection method:

Immunoenzyme assay

Clinical significance:

Elevation of BAP can be caused by Paget's bone disease, osteomalacia, and the like. Inhibition of bone resorption treatment in Paget's bone disease, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis can reduce BAP levels. Studies have shown that the use of inhibition of bone resorption in patients with osteoporosis can reduce BAP levels by at least 25% within 3 to 6 months.

Tea and coffee are two drinks of the largest consumption in the world. Coffee is irreplaceable in the lives of westerners, whether it is in schools, companies or shopping arcade, people carry coffee and find pleasure in it. However, tea is not only a drink in Chinese people`s life, but also carries human emotions and culture. Tea and coffee, which have different connotation and history, are representative of the differences between Chinese and Western culture.    


The species and brewing methods of tea and coffee exists differences, too. To brew coffee, there are strict requirements from grinding coffee beans to implements as well as water temperature proportion. The brew will taste strong and aromatic.


Tea needs more complex process than coffee to brew. There are several species of tea including green tea, bohea, white tea, oolong tea, jasmine tea. Each type of tea processing is not the same. The Tea Set is also rich in variety. Different tea accompanied by different tea things so as to better reflect the flavor of the tea.
