肠道菌群稳态与结直肠癌研究进展

结直肠癌是一种涉及遗传、环境和生活方式等多风险因素的疾病。越来越多的研究表明肠道菌群在结直肠癌的发生发展中起重要作用,菌群与消化道之间的共生作用对维持肠道内环境的稳定也十分重要。菌群在炎症、药物代谢,甚至癌症的发展中扮演着许多角色,然而由感染、饮食或生活方式等变化引起的菌群组成的改变却可影响这种共生关系。同样,菌群组成的变化使部分菌种在肠内引发炎症反应甚至致癌,从而对结肠直肠癌的发生发展产生实质性的影响,综述将总结目前肠道菌群与结直肠癌之间潜在的联系,重点关注细菌在肠道中所参与的各种反应,从而为治疗结直肠癌提供更多的研究思路。     

肠道菌群与microRNA的交互在促结直肠癌中的作用

结直肠癌是西方国家最常见的癌症之一,多数患者伴有肠道菌群的改变。有研究表明,肠道菌群通过microRNA调节宿主基因的表达,而宿主的microRNA同样调节菌群的生长和基因表达。因此,本文概述了肠道菌群与宿主microRNA相互作用的具体机制,以及这种交互作用在结直肠癌的发生、发展、治疗阶段的研究进展。为进一步深入研究肠道菌群与结直肠癌的关系提供理论基础。     

肠道菌群调节与缺血性脑卒中的中西医治疗研究进展CSCD

肠道菌群与大脑之间通过肠道菌群-肠-脑轴进行双向调节。研究表明,肠道菌群与缺血性脑卒中(ischemic stroke,IS)密切相关,肠道菌群失调通过影响血压、动脉粥样硬化、免疫、神经内分泌和炎症等途径干预IS的发生发展。IS发生后的自主神经功能紊乱和应激反应等又会导致肠道菌群失调,进一步加重脑损伤。因此,肠道菌群可能是临床预防和治疗IS的一个潜在靶点。本文综述了基于肠道菌群调节的中西医结合治疗IS的研究进展,对益生菌、粪菌移植、抗生素及中药在调节肠道菌群,改善IS脑损伤的作用及潜在机制方面进行深入探讨,以期为IS的药物干预研究提供新的视角。     

多糖与肠道菌群相互作用及其构效关系研究进展

肠道菌群是一个复杂的生态系统,影响宿主的饮食、疾病发展、药物代谢和免疫系统调节等诸多生理方面。多糖广泛存在于动物、植物及微生物中,具有多种生理活性。肠道菌群与多糖相互作用,消化难以消化的多糖,多糖作为肠道菌群的重要能量来源,促进益生菌增殖。肠道菌群紊乱导致疾病的发生,多糖通过调节肠道菌群改善疾病。随着“人类微生物组计划”的启动和国内外学者对肠道菌群的深入研究,多糖与肠道菌群的关系逐渐清晰,但多糖的结构与肠道菌群之间的关系还有待进一步探究。因此,本文综述了多糖与肠道菌群的相互作用,并通过调节肠道菌群的组成来改善疾病,以及从多糖的分子量、糖苷键、单糖组成三方面探讨多糖与肠道菌群的构效关系,同时对未来研究的方向进行展望,以期为治疗疾病的深入研究提供重要参照和建议。

肠道菌群与抗生素相关性腹泻的关系

肠道菌群作为分布在人体肠道内的微生物菌群,对发挥肠道正常生理功能起到了至关重要的作用。临床研究表明,大量使用广谱性抗菌药物会打破肠道菌群的平衡,导致抗生素相关性腹泻(Antibiotic-associated diarrhea,AAD)。然而,不同的肠道菌群与AAD的关系不尽相同。本文分别从致病菌导致AAD的机制、益生菌预防和治疗AAD的原理,以及条件致病菌与AAD的关系等方面进行综述,旨在为肠道菌群与AAD的研究提供理论依据,同时为临床上更精准地预防、诊断和治疗AAD提供参考。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
