单纯疱疹病毒Ⅰ型新开放读码框UL57的鉴定

单纯疱疹病毒1型(Herpes simplex virus type 1,HSV-1)潜伏感染期间LATs的活跃转录可能与其启动子与增强子两侧的CTCF结合序列有关。本研究对位于UL56下游与LAT启动子上游之间并与CTCF结合序列重叠存在的一个新开放读码框(本研究中命名为UL57)进行了鉴定。首先利用HSV-1(F)细菌人工染色体(HSV-BAC)系统构建重组病毒HSV-EGFP-UL57,将EGFP序列插入UL57 5’端;然后分别通过Northern Blot和Western Blot检测EGFP标记的UL57的转录和表达;同时构建敲除UL57的重组病毒HSV-ΔUL57,观察UL57对病毒增殖的影响。结果显示,重组病毒HSV-EGFP-UL57感染HEp-2细胞17h后,EGFP探针检测到两条转录产物,其中1.8kb转录产物与预测大小相符;使用放线菌酮(Cycloheximide,CHX)阻断病毒即刻早期蛋白/早期蛋白合成后,UL57转录受到明显抑制。重组病毒HSV-EGFP-UL57感染Vero细胞后,9h可见融合蛋白表达,24h表达明显;融合蛋白分子量与预测大小(58kD)一致。病毒生长曲线显示,重组病毒HSV-EGFP-UL57及HSV-ΔUL57在Vero细胞中的增殖水平与HSV-1(F)基本一致。本研究表明,在HSV-1基因组(GenBank:GU734771.1)UL56下游与LAT启动子上游之间存在一个新开放读码框UL57(116 921bp～117 799bp),UL57可以进行转录,且其转录受病毒即刻早期蛋白/早期蛋白调控;转录产物可以翻译出融合蛋白,但表达水平较低。删除UL57对病毒增殖无明显影响。     

An interactive surgical simulation tool to assess the consequences of a partial glossectomy on a biomechanical model of the tongue

Oral cancer surgery has a negative influence on the quality of life (QOL). As a result of the complex physiology involved in oral functions, estimation of surgical effects on functionality remains difficult. We present a user-friendly biomechanical simulation of tongue surgery, including closure with suturing and scar formation, followed by an automated adaptation of a finite element (FE) model to the shape of the tongue. Different configurations of our FE model were evaluated and compared to a well-established FE model. We showed that the post-operative impairment as predicted by our model was qualitatively comparable to a patient case for five different tongue maneuvers.     

Potential roles and targeted therapy of the CXCLs/CXCR2 axis in cancer and inflammatory diseases

The chemokine receptor CXCR2 and its ligands are implicated in the progression of tumours and various inflammatory diseases. Activation of the CXCLs/CXCR2 axis activates multiple signalling pathways, including the PI3K, p38/ERK, and JAK pathways, and regulates cell survival and migration. The CXCLs/CXCR2 axis plays a vital role in the tumour microenvironment and in recruiting neutrophils to inflammatory sites. Extensive infiltration of neutrophils during chronic inflammation is one of the most important pathogenic factors in various inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammation is considered to be closely correlated with initiation of cancer. In addition, immunosuppressive effects of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) against T cells attenuate the anti-tumour effects of T cells and promote tumour invasion and metastasis. Over the last several decades, many therapeutic strategies targeting CXCR2 have shown promising results and entered clinical trials. In this review, we focus on the features and functions of the CXCLs/CXCR2 axis and highlight its role in cancer and inflammatory diseases. We also discuss its potential use in targeted therapies.     

Perineal repair of a full‐thickness rectal prolapse in a wild Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii)

A Delorme's procedure perineal surgical repair was performed in a wild adult male Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) with a chronic persistent rectal prolapse that had been unsuccessfully treated by 6 previous surgeries. The rectal prolapse did not recur, and the orangutan was successfully released to the wild, 6 weeks later.     

Effect of stochastic resonance on proprioception and kinesthesia in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed patients

Low amplitude mechanical noise vibration has been shown to improve somatosensory acuity in various clinical groups with comparable deficiencies through a phenomenon known as Stochastic Resonance (SR). This technology showed promising outcomes in improving somatosensory acuity in other clinical patients (e.g., Parkinson’s disease and osteoarthritis). Some degree of chronic somatosensory deficiency in the knee has been reported following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. In this study, the effect of the SR phenomenon on improving knee somatosensory acuity (proprioception and kinesthesia) in female ACL reconstructed (ACLR) participants (n = 19) was tested at three months post-surgery, and the results were compared to healthy controls (n = 28). Proprioception was quantified by the measure of joint position sense (JPS) and kinesthesia with the threshold to detection of passive movement (TDPM).The results based on the statistical analysis demonstrated an overall difference between the somatosensory acuity in the ACLR limb compared to healthy controls (p = 0.007). A larger TDPM was observed in the ACLR limb compared to the healthy controls (p = 0.002). However, the JPS between the ACLR and healthy limbs were not statistically significantly different (p = 0.365). SR significantly improved JPS (p = 0.006) while the effect was more pronounced in the ACLR cohort. The effect on the TDPM did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.681) in either group.In conclusion, deficient kinesthesia in the ACLR limb was observed at three months post-surgery. Also, the positive effects of SR on somatosensory acuity in the ACL reconstructed group warrant further investigation into the use of this phenomenon to improve proprioception in ACLR and healthy groups.     

Intermediate fenestrations reduce flow reversal in a silicone model of Stanford Type B aortic dissection

Pulsatile, three-dimensional hemodynamic forces influence thrombosis, and may dictate progression of aortic dissection. Intimal flap fenestration and blood pressure are clinically relevant variables in this pathology, yet their effects on dissection hemodynamics are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to characterize these effects on flow in dissection models to better guide interventions to prevent aneurysm formation and false lumen flow. Silicone models of aortic dissection with mobile intimal flap were fabricated based on patient images and installed in a flow loop with pulsatile flow. Flow fields were acquired via 4-dimensional flow MRI, allowing for quantification and visualization of relevant fluid mechanics. Pulsatile vortices and jet-like structures were observed at fenestrations immediately past the proximal entry tear. False lumen flow reversal was significantly reduced with the addition of fenestrations, from 19.2 ± 3.3% in two-tear dissections to 4.67 ± 1.5% and 4.87 ± 1.7% with each subsequent fenestration. In contrast, increasing pressure did not cause appreciable differences in flow rates, flow reversal, and vortex formation. Increasing the number of intermediate tears decreased flow reversal as compared to two-tear dissection, which may prevent false lumen thrombosis, promoting persistent false lumen flow. Vortices were noted to result from transluminal fluid motion at distal tear sites, which may lead to degeneration of the opposing wall. Increasing pressure did not affect measured flow patterns, but may contribute to stress concentrations in the aortic wall. The functional and anatomic assessment of disease with 4D MRI may aid in stratifying patient risk in this population.

目的:探讨右美托咪定对腹腔镜下子宫恶性肿瘤手术患者炎症因子以及认知功能的影响,为右美托咪定在腹腔镜下子宫恶性肿瘤手术的临床应用提供参考。方法:选择武汉科技大学附属普仁医院2015年7月至2017年6月收治的100例行腹腔镜下子宫恶性肿瘤手术患者作为研究对象,根据不同麻醉方式分为观察组和对照组两组,各50例,其中观察组患者在给予麻醉诱导前30 min,负荷剂量1.0μg/kg的右美托咪定静脉输注10 min,之后给予患者0.5μg/kg的右美托咪定持续性静脉输注至手术结束前30 min为止,对照组患者按照上述给药方法静脉输注同等容量的生理盐水。然后分别于麻醉诱导前(T0)、手术结束时(T1)、手术结束后4 h(T2)以及手术结束后1天(T3)取患者的外周静脉血,测定比较两组患者各相应时间点的血清C反应蛋白(CRP)、肿瘤坏死因子(TNF-α)、白细胞介素(IL-6)等炎症因子水平,外周血皮质醇(cor)、肾上腺素(E)、去甲肾上腺素(NE)等应激水平,MMSE评分、TMT完成时间等认知功能;并分析两组患者术后的不良反应发生情况。结果:两组患者T0时间的血清IL-6、TNF-α、CRP、cor、E、NE水平以及TMT、MMSE认知功能评分差异不具有统计学意义(P0.05),具有可比性;而观察组患者T1、T2、T3各相应时间点的血清IL-6、TNF-α、CRP、cor、E以及NE水平明显低于对照组(P0.05);观察组患者T2、T3各相应时间点的MMSE评分明显高于对照组,TMT评分值明显低于对照组(P0.05);且术后观察组患者的不良反应发生率明显低于对照组(P0.05)。结论:右美托咪定可以明显降低腹腔镜下子宫恶性肿瘤手术患者血清应激反应以及炎症因子水平,改善术后认知功能,减少术后不良反应的发生,效果显著,值得临床推广使用。     

角膜屈光手术后屈光回退的手术治疗进展*

屈光回退是角膜屈光手术后的并发症之一,其治疗方法主要为药物治疗和手术治疗。对于需要再次手术的患者,应根据初次手术方式、距离初次手术时间、回退度数,在充分评价角膜情况后合理选择增效术,确保手术的安全性和有效性。目前,准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术和飞秒激光小切口角膜基质透镜取出术是治疗近视和近视散光的主要手术方式。本文就两者术后屈光回退手术治疗的适应症、不同增效术的优缺点及注意事项作一综述。
