顺铂耳毒性大鼠耳聋模型的研究

摘要 目的：探讨顺铂对大鼠造成的听力损伤及耳蜗细胞形态学变化。方法：体内实验,运用顺铂腹腔注射的方法,连续七天注射,通过听性脑干反应检测,观察顺铂对不同日龄的大鼠听力损伤情况;测听后取耳蜗,通过基底膜铺片和冰冻切片的免疫荧光染色,观察听力损伤后对耳蜗毛细胞和螺旋神经元的影响。体外实验,耳蜗器官培养免疫荧光染色,观察顺铂对耳蜗毛细胞和螺旋神经元的影响。结果：顺铂具有耳毒性,会对大鼠听力造成损伤,高频听力损伤更加严重,而且对不同日龄的大鼠造成的听力损失不同,小日龄的大鼠对顺铂耳毒性更加敏感。体内实验,顺铂耳毒性造成听力损失,会引起大鼠耳蜗毛细胞的缺失,但未观察到明显的螺旋神经元缺失,也没有观察到明显的Cleaved caspase-3阳性螺旋神经元细胞。体外实验,可以观察到顺铂同时引起毛细胞和螺旋神经元产生明显的损伤。结论：体、内外实验,都可以建立稳定的顺铂耳毒性大鼠耳聋模型,对研究顺铂损伤耳蜗毛细胞的发生机制和保护奠定了实验基础。

Effect of various biophysicochemical conditions on toxigenicity of Vibrio cholerae 01 during survival with a green alga, Rhizoclonium fontanum, in an artificial aquatic environment

Toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae 01 occur in the natural aquatic environment. It is not clear whether V. cholerae 01 lose toxigenicity and become nontoxigenic during survival in the aquatic environment as a result of the effect of various biophysicochemical conditions (e.g., sunlight, pH, temperature, competition with other bacteria for nutrients, etc.). Five toxigenic strains were exposed to artificial aquatic environments in the presence of a filamentous green alga. Rhizoclonium fontanum, and recovered after different time intervals (0 and 0.5 h, 3, 6, 9, and 15 days). This experimental system was exposed to sunlight and the V. cholerae 01 were in competition for nutrients with resident bacterial flora from R. fontanum. The toxigenicity of Vibrio cholerae 01 that were recovered at different time intervals was assessed by tissue culture assay using Vero cells. The toxigenicity of recovered strains was compared with that of the parent strains. The results demonstrated that toxigenic V. cholerae 01 are unlikely to lose their toxigenicity in aquatic environments as a result of the effects of various biophysicochemical conditions. These results are consistent with the hypothesis of environmental reservoirs of V. cholerae.     

The stability of toxigenicity in Clostridium botulinum types C and D.

Several type C and D strains of Clostridium botulinum, which had been converted to the toxgenic state by phages, were serially transferred through cooked meat medium with and without specific anti-phage serum. Most of the converted strains lost their toxigenicity even during transfer without antiserum, and the non-toxigenic variants that appeared were resistant to lysis and conversion by the original phage. However, in some combinations of phage and host bacteria toxigenicity was stable after ten transfers, though it showed a transient decrease, and the non-toxigenic variants that arose remained sensitive to lysis and conversion. When converted strains were transferred in medium containing anti-phage serum, toxigenicity was lost more rapidly than in the absence of serum and the non-toxigenic variants that appeared remained sensitive to lysis and conversion by the parent phage. Filtrates of the supernatants of culture fluids of strains transferred without anti-phase serum converted non-toxigenic strains to toxigenicity at varying rates.     

Stability of toxigenicity in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum type B upon serial passage

Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum type B strains were investigated for stability of toxigenicity and bont/b gene upon serial passage. Strains with bont/b gene located on their plasmids showed loss or decrease of toxigenicity during serial passage. Some strains lost the bont/b gene-encoding plasmid. The stability of the plasmids varied between strains.     

Development of a toxA gene knock-out mutant of Pasteurella multocida and evaluation of its protective effects

Pasteurella multocida is an important veterinary and opportunistic human pathogen. In particular, strains of P. multocida serogroup D cause progressive atrophic rhinitis, and produce a potent, intracellular, mitogenic toxin known as P. multocida toxin (PMT), which is encoded by the toxA gene. To further investigate the toxigenic and pathogenic effects of PMT, a toxA-deleted mutant was developed by homologous gene recombination. When administrated to mice, the toxigenicity of the toxA mutant P. multocida was drastically reduced, suggesting that the PMT contributes the major part of the toxigenicity of P. multocida. Similar results were obtained in a subsequent experiment, while high mortalities were observed when toxA(+) P. multocida bacterial culture or culture lysate were administrated. Mice immunized with toxA(-) P. multocida were not protected (none survived) following challenge with toxA(+) P. multocida or bacterial culture lysate (toxin). These results suggest that the toxigenicity of P. multocida is mainly derived from PMT.     

Bacteriophage and the Toxigenicity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Clostridium botulinum</Emphasis> Type D

THE data of Inoue and Iida^1,2 strongly suggest that bacteriophage is involved in the toxigenicity of Clostridium botulinum types C and D. They were able to recover toxigenic isolates from nontoxigenic cultures incubated in broth containing filtrates of the toxigenic strains (Stockholm strain of type C and strain 1873 of type D). Lysis was observed in the cultures, but plaques were not demonstrated on solid medium. The change from hontoxigenicity to toxigenicity in C. botulinum type C strain 468C has been shown³ to require the active and continued participation of a specific bacteriophage designated CEβ.     

Antagonistic activity of bacteria from Bacillus genus against dermatophyte fungi

Antagonistic properties of the strain Bacillus subtilis IB-54 with respect to dermatophyte fungi Trichophyton rubrum, T. mentagrophytes var. gypseum, Microsporum canis was studied. The studied strains of bacilli effectively inhibited growth and development of dermatophytes when were cultivated on the media containing different carbon sources. Experiments on laboratory animals showed that B. subtilis IB-54 displayed no virulence, toxicity, and toxigenicity and can be considered as perspective object for development of antimycotic drugs.     

Lack of Toxicity of Helminthosporium maydis-Invaded Corn and Culture Filtrates to Chicks and Mice

Six isolates of Helminthosporium maydis, obtained from southern leaf blight-damaged corn, were grown separately on autoclaved corn and fed to chicks and mice to evaluate their toxigenicity. Two-, three-, and four-week-old culture filtrates from three pathogenic isolates grown separately on modified Fries medium were also evaluated for toxigenicity. None of the invaded corn samples or culture filtrates affected the weights of chicks or mice when compared to controls. Postmortem examinations did not reveal significant gross lesions. H. maydis was not toxigenic under our experimental conditions.     

Comparative study of thermoresistance spores of Clostridium difficile strains belonging to different toxigenicity groups

The thermoresistance of spores of Clostridium difficile strains belonging to the different toxigenicity groups was compared in the study. Among spores of toxigenicity C. difficile strains (26 C. difficile strains produced toxins A and B (TcdA+TcdB+) and 32 C. difficile strains produced only toxin B (TcdA-TcdB+) were high thermoresistant. Between spores of non-toxigenic C. difficile strains much lower thermoresistance was observed. In conclusion, more studies are needed to clarify the importance of spores transmission in the increasing number of AAD cases in Poland.     

Tissue Culture Method for Toxigenicity Testing of Corynebacterium diphtheriae

A method for toxigenicity testing of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in tissue cultures was developed. Results were obtained by comparing destruction of the monkey kidney or, preferably, rabbit kidney monolayer by 0.1 ml of the C. diphtheriae culture in Elek's broth containing 20% rabbit serum with the appearance after the addition of 0.2 ml of a mixture of the C. diphtheriae culture and diphtheria antitoxin. The mixture of C. diphtheriae broth culture and 10 antitoxin units per ml was incubated for 1 hr at room temperature before it was added to the tissue cultures which were then incubated as long as 5 days; most results, however, were read in 72 hr. Elek's broth medium was superior to heart infusion broth for toxin production by C. diphtheriae. Addition of 20% rabbit serum improved toxin production in either broth. Numerous toxigenic and atoxigenic C. diphtheriae cultures were tested for toxigenicity in primary rabbit and monkey kidney tissue cultures. If properly controlled, this in vitro method appeared to have an advantage over the in vitro agar gel method; its results were comparable with the rabbit intradermal test. With the wider use of tissue cultures in most laboratories, we believe that the tissue culture method for toxigenicity would be more economical and easier to perform than the animal intradermal method.
