阴道微生态与宫颈疾病发生发展的相关性研究

摘要：微生态学是近年新兴的学科,女性生殖道是一个重要的微生态区域。生殖道微生态体系是由正常的解剖结构、生殖道各种菌群、周期性内分泌变化、局部免疫系统四个部分组成。随着阴道微生态平衡理论的提出和发展,阴道微生态和HPV感染、宫颈上皮内瘤变、宫颈癌的内在关联引起了极大的重视。阴道微生态与宫颈疾病的发生发展相关,宫颈病变影响了阴道微生态环境,长期的阴道菌群失调也会反作用于宫颈,导致宫颈的病变加重甚至恶化,如此形成恶性循环。因此阴道微生态对宫颈疾病的诊断、治疗和预防将具有重要的临床意义。     

阴道微生态失调与早产相关性研究进展

健康育龄妇女的阴道微生态环境呈现多样性,阴道内微生物菌群以乳杆菌为主。乳杆菌可维持妇女阴道微环境平衡和保持阴道酸性环境以抑制致病性病原体生长。当乳杆菌比例低至致病阈值以下或无乳杆菌存在时,阴道微环境的菌群组成转变成以兼性需氧及厌氧菌为主。越来越多的证据表明,怀孕期间阴道菌群的异常与早产、及因早产和围产期结局不佳导致的潜在新生儿后遗症有关。本文综述了妊娠期阴道菌群的变化、细菌性阴道炎与早产发生风险等方面的问题,目的是帮助临床医生确定怀孕期间有阴道炎症状女性是否可接受治疗,从而降低早产、早产胎膜早破、绒毛膜羊膜炎和母胎传染病的发病率。     

妊娠中晚期阴道微生态失调及乳酸菌胶囊干预对不良妊娠结局的作用

目的观察妊娠中晚期妇女阴道微生态状况,探讨应用乳杆菌活菌胶囊纠正阴道微生态失调对不良妊娠结局的预防价值。方法选择孕13~36周单胎妊娠期妇女560例,取其阴道分泌物,经革兰染色后油镜下观察,进行阴道微生态(阴道菌群的密集度、多样性、优势菌、炎症反应等)状况评价,检测阴道分泌物成分、阴道病原菌类型。对阴道微生态失调孕妇,根据是否接受乳杆菌活菌胶囊治疗分为治疗组和对照组,治疗组给予乳杆菌活菌胶囊,对照组不采用药物干预。追踪随访所有孕妇的妊娠情况,比较阴道微生态正常组、微生态失调治疗组及微生态失调对照组的不良妊娠结局。结果 560例研究对象中,阴道微生态正常335例(59.82%),微生态失调225例(40.18%)。225例微生态失调孕妇中,细菌性阴道病(bacterial vaginosis,BV)32例(14.22%),阴道假丝酵母菌病(vulvovaginal candidiasis,VVC)56例(24.89%),滴虫性阴道炎(triehomonal vaginitis,TV)11例(4.89%),BV和VVC混合感染4例(1.78%),BV和TV混合感染3例(1.33%),菌群增殖过度75例(33.33%),菌群抑制44例(19.56%)。微生态失调组pH值4.5、过氧化氢、白细胞酯酶、唾液酸苷酶、脯氨酸氨基肽酶、乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶阳性比例均明显高于微生态正常组(χ2=55.59~340.06,Ps0.05)。微生态失调孕妇中,治疗组135例,对照组90例,对照组胎膜早破、早产、产褥感染、新生儿感染及低出生体重儿发生率均明显高于微生态正常组(χ2=12.63~32.42,Ps0.05)和微生态失调治疗组(χ2=5.16~12.28,Ps0.05),微生态正常组与微生态失调治疗组之间差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论妊娠中晚期容易导致阴道微生态失调,造成不良妊娠结局,乳杆菌活菌胶囊纠正阴道微生态失调对于改善不良妊娠结局有较好的预防作用。     

定菌生调整实验小鼠念珠菌性阴道炎的菌群失调的研究

目的 应用阴道细菌培养与光镜细胞学检查相结合的方法,研究定菌生对阴道念珠菌感染的菌群失调的调整作用。方法 以小鼠为实验对象,用盐酸林可霉素造成阴道菌群失调,并将分离的念珠菌接种到小鼠阴道内,造成小鼠阴道念珠菌感染模型,分别采用定菌生、抗真菌＋定菌生及抗真菌（制霉菌素）治疗1疗程后,取其阴道分泌物进行念珠菌及乳杆菌的菌群分析,并同时进行分泌物镜检,取阴道组织标本做病理组织学检查。结果 模型组小鼠阴道内主要细菌数量乳杆菌显著下降（P〈0．01）．出现阴道红肿、分泌物多呈块状和阴道黏膜充血等念珠菌阴道炎的典型症状,分泌物涂片镜检查到白细胞及念珠菌,而定菌生组和定菌生＋制霉菌素组治疗的小鼠,阴道黏膜与健康对照组的阴道黏膜基本相同,阴道内主要菌群——乳杆菌的数量恢复正常,阴道内念珠菌显著降低,与自然恢复组相比差异有极显著性（P〈0．01）,与制霉菌素处理比差异也有显著性,治疗效果明显好于制霉菌素。结论 定菌生能阻止念珠菌对阴道上皮的粘附作用,能调整阴道的菌群,对阴道黏膜有一定的修复功能,是治疗念珠菌性阴道炎有效的微生态调节剂。     

乳杆菌治疗女性阴道炎相关研究进展

健康妇女的阴道中存在黏膜免疫系统及乳杆菌与其它微生物群的动态平衡,对维持其自净及宿主健康起重要作用。乳杆菌在阴道内具有抵抗内源性和外源性病原菌生长繁殖的作用。当这种平衡被打破时,乳杆菌减少而其他微生物大量繁殖,造成阴道炎的发生。对于阴道炎的治疗,临床可以采用微生态治疗——合理使用抗生素和微生态调节剂的应用,从而起到杀菌、修复阴道上皮和恢复阴道微生态环境的作用。     

孕中期乳杆菌干预与早产结局的相关分析

目的探讨妊娠中期应用乳杆菌活菌胶囊对早产及先兆早产的预防价值。方法选择石家庄市第四医院2013年门诊产检的妊娠中期的孕妇,筛查出阴道微生态失调1 032例。根据是否接受乳杆菌活菌胶囊治疗分为观察组427例与对照组605例。观察组孕妇睡前温开水冲洗外阴后于阴道后穹窿处放置乳杆菌活菌胶囊1粒,连用10d。10d后行阴道微生态检查,仍异常者再治疗10d。对照组孕妇未进行用药干预治疗。观察并评估观察组孕妇治疗后阴道内乳杆菌阳性率及阴道分泌物清洁度的变化,比较两组孕妇发生早产或先兆早产的情况。结果观察组孕妇治疗后阴道pH(4.04±0.12)较前(4.83±0.09)明显下降(P0.05);乳杆菌阳性率(81.73%)较前(0.00%)明显上升(P0.05)。观察组孕妇先兆早产发生率为5.39%,显著低于对照组的8.93%(χ2=4.985,P0.05);观察组孕妇早产发生率为0.70%,显著低于对照组的2.98%,差异有统计学意义(χ2=5.782,P0.05)。结论妊娠晚期孕妇阴道微生态失调与先兆早产及早产的发生关系密切,乳杆菌活菌胶囊可恢复正常的阴道微生态环境,降低先兆早产及早产的发生率,对预防先兆早产及早产的风险有一定临床价值。     

阴道微生态与围产期不良结局的研究进展

阴道微生态对围产期结局的影响已成为近期医学研究的焦点。阴道内定植有多种微生物,其中优势菌为乳杆菌,维持着阴道内正常pH。当机体免疫防御能力降低或者内分泌系统紊乱时,机会致病菌占据优势,极易诱发阴道炎性病变,严重影响妊娠期女性正常生活,并且对胎儿的发育及健康成长造成威胁,导致早产和胎膜早破等不良妊娠结局的发生。由于阴道菌群毒力强弱具有差异性,感染所致的阴道炎性疾病容易复发且不易根除,因此在治疗方面,临床医师需要根据个体化原则指导用药。本文对近年来阴道微生态与妊娠不良结局的相关性研究进行简要综述。     

肠道菌群与中枢神经系统相互作用及相关疾病

肠道菌群参与宿主的多项生理过程,包括营养物质吸收、代谢及免疫系统的发育成熟、抵抗外来病原体入侵等,新的研究显示肠道菌群通过神经、内分泌、代谢和免疫的途径参与了肠道和中枢神经系统的双向调节。肠道菌群的变化与自闭症、多发性硬化、帕金森病、焦虑和抑郁症等一系列神经精神疾病有关,通过改善肠道菌群的微生态疗法有望成为治疗和预防一些神经系统疾病的有效措施。     

女性阴道微生态状况与母婴健康

女性阴道是自然开放的腔道,其内寄居着大量的微生物,其中乳杆菌占优势。正常阴道内的微生物对于维持女性生殖系统健康具有重要作用,而多种因素能够影响妇女正常的阴道微生态环境,包括妊娠。女性阴道微生态状况不仅会影响自身健康,同时能够影响子代的健康。正常的肠道菌群参与机体的营养、免疫、代谢、神经内分泌等多种生理功能,而婴儿期是人肠道菌群建立的关键时期,其中分娩方式对婴儿菌群的定植和发展具有重要的影响。阴道菌群失衡不但可导致妇女感染性疾病的发生,还与妊娠结局及婴儿菌群的建立密切相关,改善女性阴道微生态状况对提高母婴健康具有重要意义。     

Role for dopamine in malonate-induced damage in vivo in striatum and in vitro in mesencephalic cultures

Defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism have been implicated in the pathology of several neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, the reactive metabolites generated from the metabolism and oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) are thought to contribute to the damage to neurons of the basal ganglia. We have previously demonstrated that infusions of the metabolic inhibitor malonate into the striata of mice or rats produce degeneration of DA nerve terminals. In the present studies, we demonstrate that an intrastriatal infusion of malonate induces a substantial increase in DA efflux in awake, behaving mice as measured by in vivo microdialysis. Furthermore, pretreatment of mice with tetrabenazine (TBZ) or the TBZ analogue Ro 4-1284 (Ro-4), compounds that reversibly inhibit the vesicular storage of DA, attenuates the malonate-induced DA efflux as well as the damage to DA nerve terminals. Consistent with these findings, the damage to both DA and GABA neurons in mesencephalic cultures by malonate exposure was attenuated by pretreatment with TBZ or Ro-4. Treatment with these compounds did not affect the formation of free radicals or the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation resulting from malonate exposure alone. Our data suggest that DA plays an important role in the neurotoxicity produced by malonate. These findings provide direct evidence that inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase causes an increase in extracellular DA levels and indicate that bioenergetic defects may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic neurodegenerative diseases through a mechanism involving DA.     

SSTR5 ablation in islet results in alterations in glucose homeostasis in mice

Somatostatin (SST) peptide is a potent inhibitor of insulin secretion and its effect is mediated via somatostatin receptor 5 (SSTR5) in the endocrine pancreas. To investigate the consequences of gene ablation of SSTR5 in the mouse pancreas, we have generated a mouse model in which the SSTR5 gene was specifically knocked down in the pancreatic beta cells (betaSSTR5Kd) using the Cre-lox system. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that SSTR5 gene expression was absent in beta cells at three months of age. At the time of gene ablation, betaSSTR5Kd mice demonstrated glucose intolerance with lack of insulin response and significantly reduced serum insulin levels. Insulin tolerance test demonstrated a significant increase of insulin clearance in vivo at the same age. In vitro studies demonstrated an absence of response to SST-28 stimulation in the betaSSTR5Kd mouse islet, which was associated with a significantly reduced SST expression level in betaSSTR5Kd mice pancreata. In addition, betaSSTR5Kd mice had significantly reduced serum glucose levels and increased serum insulin levels at 12 months of age. Glucose tolerance test at an older age also indicated a persistently higher insulin level in betaSSTR5Kd mice. Further studies of betaSSTR5Kd mice had revealed elevated serum C-peptide levels at both 3 and 12 months of age, suggesting that these mice are capable of producing and releasing insulin to the periphery. These results support the hypothesis that SSTR5 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of insulin secretion in the mouse pancreas.

Apoptosis in experimental myocardial infarction in situ and in the perfused heart in vitro

We report the appearance of apoptotic cells in experimental myocardial infarction (rabbit heart) in in situ and in vitro preparations. Apoptosis was recognized by intravital staining with Hoechst 33342 (Ho342), by nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and by DNA laddering. A steady rise in the relative number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes (apoptotic index) was noted in in situ preparations. Apoptosis was first noted 6 h after the onset of ischemia with its highest value occurring after 72 h. Apoptotic nuclei were absent in remote areas of the left and right ventricles. Apoptotic nuclei within the infarcted area showed diminished intensity of Ho342 fluorescence. Three days after ischemia, a border zone adjacent to the infarcted area consisting of apoptotic macrophages was recognized. A novel finding was the appearance of apoptotic cardiomyocytes in the isolated perfused ischemic heart. Occurring as early as 50 min after the onset of ischemia, a high apoptotic index was present adjacent to the ligature placed around the coronary artery. This observation provides the opportunity to selectively examine factors leading to apoptosis in the ischemic heart under controlled experimental conditions.

Morphine-potentiated platelet aggregation in in vitro and platelet plug formation in in vivo experiments

The detailed mechanisms underlying morphine-signaling pathways in platelets remain obscure. Therefore, we systematically examined the influence of morphine on washed human platelets. In this study, washed human platelet suspensions were used for in vitro studies. Furthermore, platelet thrombus formation induced by irradiation of mesenteric venules with filtered light in mice pretreated with fluorescein sodium was used for an in vivo thrombotic study. Morphine concentration dependently (0.6, 1, and 5 microM) potentiated platelet aggregation and the ATP release reaction stimulated by agonists (i.e., collagen and U46619) in washed human platelets. Yohimbine (0.1 microM), a specific alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist, markedly abolished the potentiation of morphine in platelet aggregation stimulated by agonists. Morphine also potentiated phosphoinositide breakdown and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization in human platelets stimulated by collagen (1 microg/ml). Moreover, morphine (0.6-5 microM) markedly inhibited prostaglandin E(1) (10 microM)-induced cyclic AMP formation in human platelets, while yohimbine (0.1 microM) significantly reversed the inhibition of cyclic AMP by morphine (0.6 and 1 microM) in this study. The thrombin-evoked increase in pH(i) was markedly potentiated in the presence of morphine (1 and 5 microM). Morphine (2 and 5 mg/g) significantly shortened the time require to induce platelet plug formation in mesenteric venules. We concluded that morphine may exert its potentiation in platelet aggregation by binding to alpha(2)-adrenoceptors in human platelets, with a resulting inhibition of adenylate cyclase, thereby reducing intracellular cyclic AMP formation followed by increased activation of phospholipase C and the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. This leads to increased intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, and finally potentiation of platelet aggregation and of the ATP release reaction.     

Changes in aquatic vegetation in Rhine floodplain streams in Alsace in relation to disturbance

Abstract. Changes are described in aquatic vegetation in oligotrophic, groundwater-fed Rhine floodplain streams in Alsace (eastern France), resulting from disturbance. Disturbance factors include changes in nutrients, either permanent ones - effluent from a waste water treatment plant or trout hatcheries - or periodic ones: flooding. Regular inputs of high levels of phosphate and ammonia modified the macrophyte vegetation in these streams. The floristic composition, which was characteristic of oligotrophic waters upstream of the eutrophicated sector, changed to that of a eutrophic situation as originally found downstream. Periodic disturbance by floods which normally occur once a year, irregularly eutrophicates the small streams, causing the development of a mixture of eutrophic and oligotrophic species. Six macrophyte communities are distinguished, indicating different trophic levels. The aquatic vegetation is adapted to the variations of phosphate and ammonia levels. Hence, aquatic macrophytes can be used as bio-indicators of fluctuations in water nutrient levels in relation to the type of disturbance.
