Abstract:
We measured serum aldolase levels in Yusho sufferers annually between the years 2000 and 2005. We observed a decrease in serum aldolase levels in 47.7% of the patients studied. We researched the relations among serum aldolase, serum creatine kinase, blood polychlorinated biphenyls, blood polychlorinated quaterphenyls, blood polychlorinated dibenzofurans and toxic equivalent quantity statistically. We conclude that a high concentration of blood polychlorinated biphenyls might play a role in the decrease of serum aldolase levels in Yusho sufferers.

Diagnosing Acidosis and Alkalosis
First, the pH level is assessed to determine whether the blood pH is normal (7.35–7.45), low (acidosis), or high (alkalosis).
Next, the PCO2 and HCO3− values are examined to...
