Biochemistry & medicine
introduction
2
1 、 definition
Science concerned with
chemical basis of life
3
Science concerned with
the chemical constituents
of living cells and with the
reaction and process that
they undergo
4
2 、 The aim of biochemistry
Describe and explain in
molecular term
All chemical process of
living cell
5
（ 1 ） major objective of
biochemistry
Complete understanding at the molecular level of all the chemical processes associated with
living cells
6
determine
isolation
analyze
7
(2) Further objective
Attempt to understand
how life began
8
An appreciation of the biochemistry of less complex form of life is often direct relevance to human biochemistry
9
3.knowledge of biochemistry is essential to all life science
10
immunology
physiology
pharmacology
pathology
microbiology
11
4 、 reciprocal relationship
between biochemistry &
medicine has stimulated
mutual advance
12
* Biochemistry studies have
illuminated many aspects of
health & disease
* the study of various aspects of
health & disease has opened up
new areas of biochemistry

5. Normal biochemical
processes are the basis
of health
15
Definition of health
“Complete physical,mental &
social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease and infirmity”
------WHO
16
The situation in which all of the many
thousands of intra & extra cellular
reactions that occur in the body are
proceeding at the rates commensurate
with its maximal survival in the
physiological state
A strictly biochemistry viewpoint about health:
17
6. Biochemical research has
impact on nutrition and
preventive medicine
18
7. all disease has a
biochemical basis
19
(1)physical agent:
mechanical trauma,
extremes of temperature,
sudden changes in atmospheric
pressure,
radiation,
electric shock
20
(2)chemical agents:
drugs,
certain toxic compounds,
therapeutic drugs
21
(3)biologic agents:
Viruses,
Bacteria,
Fungi,
Higher forms of parasites
22
(4) oxygen lack
loss of blood supply,
depletion of the oxygen-carrying capacity
of the blood,
poisoning of the oxidative enzyme
23
(5) genetic disorders:
Congenital , molecular
24
(6) immunology reaction
Anaphylaxis,
Autoimmune disease
25
(7) nutritional imbalances
Deficiencies,excesses
26
(8) Endocrine imbalances
hormonal deficiencies,excesses
27
8. Biochemical studies
contribute to
diagnosis, prognosis
& treatment
28
Disease causes
scurvy deficiencies of vitamin
rickets C,D respectively
Arteriosclerosis genetic,dietary
environment factors
Phenylketonuria mainly mutation in
the gene coding
phenylalanine hydroxylase
29
Disease causesCystic fibrosis mutation in the gene
coding the CFTR
proteinCholera exotoxin of
vibrio cholera
Diabetes type I genetic and environment factors resulting in
deficiency of insulin
30
9.many biochemical studies
illuminate disease
mechanisms & disease
inspire biochemical
research
31
Use example(1) to reveal the fundamental demonstration
causes &mechanisms of the genetic
of diseases defects in CF(2) to suggest rational use of a diet low in
treatment of diseases phenylalanine
for the treatment of s
phenylketonuria(3) to assist in the diagnosis use of the plasma
of specific disease enzyme CK-MB in
the diagnosis of
myocardial infarction
32
Use example
(4) To act as screening use of measurement of
tests for the early blood tyrosine or
diagnosis of certain diseases TSH in the
neonatal diagnosis
of congenital
hypothyroidism
33
Use example
(5)To assist in monitoring use of the plasma enzyme
the progress of certain ALT in monitoring the
disease progress of infectious
hepatitis
(6) To assist in assessing the use of measurement of
response of diseases to therapy blood CEA in certain
patients who have
been treated for cancer
of the colon
