淋病奈瑟氏菌(N.gonoyyhoeac简称淋球菌),淋病快速纸片法和涂片革兰染色镜检操作简便、快速、价廉。从定性反应和形态上观察疑诊淋病,要确诊尚需细菌培养。本文就疑诊淋病患者标本在纸片法,涂片镜检的同时进行细菌培养,现报道如下。1　材料与方法1.1　病例选择　随机选择?..     

淋病奈瑟菌感染实验室检测技术的进展

细菌培养是诊断淋病奈瑟菌(NG)感染的"金标准",也是目前诊断淋病最可靠的方法.但淋病奈瑟菌在人体外抵抗力极弱,不易培养;仅做细菌形态学检查,诊断意义有限.随着淋病奈瑟菌耐药性不断增强,多重耐药菌出现并广泛传播.高敏感性、高特异性、操作简便的分子生物学检验技术,如单管多重聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术等,已开始用于淋病奈瑟...     

利用雌激素构建小鼠淋病奈瑟菌感染模型

目的探讨用雌激素构建淋病奈瑟菌感染小鼠模型的方法。方法淋病奈瑟菌WHO-A接种经皮下注射苯甲酸雌二醇和真皮下埋植尼尔雌醇片（雌三醇）预处理的雌性ICR小鼠,小鼠阴道拭子接种T-M选择培养基培养分离淋病奈瑟菌,取小鼠阴道分泌物涂片染色观察淋病奈瑟菌感染情况,比较两种雌激素对小鼠淋病奈瑟菌感染的差异。结果与对照组相比,苯甲酸雌二醇小鼠体内淋病奈瑟菌有短时间的定植,而尼尔雌醇组与对照组无差异。结论雌激素（尤其是雌二醇）有利于淋病奈瑟菌在小鼠阴道内的定植。

男性尿道炎尿道多形核白细胞与沙眼衣原体和淋病奈瑟菌感染临床相关性分析

目的：沙眼衣原体和淋病奈瑟氏球菌是引起泌尿生殖系统尿道炎疾病常见的致病菌。临床化验一般采用美蓝染色检查男性尿道多形核白细胞或病原微生物阳性可提示尿道炎症状,指导临床的早期治疗。在缺乏临床症状体征和尿道多形核白细胞的情况下,临床的治疗将是不同的。本研究采用美兰染色检查男性尿道炎患者多形核白细胞数量、沙眼衣原体抗原和淋病奈瑟氏球菌培养,评价非淋菌性尿道炎和淋病的临床意义。方法：3,000例性病患者的尿道分泌物进行美兰涂片染色镜检,衣原体抗原检测和淋病奈瑟氏球菌染色镜检和培养。结果：3,000例性病患者中,387例患者（12.9%）沙眼衣原体抗原阳性。 在沙眼衣原体患者中,242例（62.5%）≥5个多形核白细胞, 59例（15.2%）为1~4个多形核白细胞,86例（22.2%）为0个多形核白细胞,其中36例患者（9.3%）无症状,141例患者（36.4%）无体征。415例（13.8%）淋病奈瑟氏球菌阳性,在淋病患者中,397例（95.7%）≥5个多形核白细胞, 10例（2.4%）1~4个多形核白细胞, 8例（1.9%）为0个多形核白细胞,其中5例（1.2%）患者无症状, 46例(11.1%)无体征。86例沙眼衣原体和淋病奈瑟氏球菌合并感染的患者中,76例阳性患者≥5个多形核白细胞,5例阳性患者为1~4个多形核白细胞, 5例阳性患者无多形核白细胞。结论：本研究分析了尿道炎患者尿道多形核白细胞,沙眼衣原体和淋球菌感染的相互之间的关系,男性尿道炎患者尿道多形核白细胞数量与沙眼衣原体感染和淋球菌感染存在明显的差异（P<0.001）。86例（22.2%）沙眼衣原体感染和8例（1.2%）淋病患者的尿道中无多形核白细胞。因此,加强临床与实验室诊断可提高男性尿道炎的诊断和控制性病的传播。     

COA实验快速鉴定淋病双球菌的研究

近几年随着国际交往机会增多,在我国性病流行不断增加,其中淋病占80％以上,因此及时准确进行淋病球菌的病原学诊断对淋病的治疗有重要意义。但目前的鉴定方法大多数单位仍采用传统分离培养或直接涂片染色的形态学作为病原菌主要依据,影响了淋病的准确诊断率。我们采用COA实验快速鉴定淋病双球菌经考核验证此方法敏感,阳性率明显高于培养方法,介绍如下。     

细胞壁缺陷型淋病奈瑟菌cppB基因的检测

目的：了解细胞壁缺陷对淋病奈瑟菌隐蔽性质粒B基因（cppB）的影响。方法：用青霉素诱导林病奈瑟菌成L型,以非高渗液体培养基传代培养并获得L型纯培养物,用cppB基因特异性引物以聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测不同代次稳定L型纯培养物的cppB基因。结果：淋病奈瑟菌细菌型及其传1-4代的L型培养物具有cppB基因,传5代后的L型培养物不能检出cppB基因。结论：细胞壁缺陷可造成淋病奈瑟菌隐蔽性质粒丢失,导致cppB基因PCR检测漏诊。     

淋球菌感染实验室诊断的实用技术

淋病奈瑟菌 (N eisseria gonorrhoeae)是淋病的病原体 ,该菌也称淋病双球菌 (diplococcus gonorrhoea)或淋球菌(gonoccus)。淋球菌的分离培养检测法仍是诊断淋病的金标准试验技术 ,基因探针技术有可能比分离培养法更敏感和特异而成为另一种可行的诊断方法 [1 ] 。在设计淋病的诊断技术时 ,实验技术人员要考虑所在单位的实际、社区淋病患病率以及试验方法的成本效益等 ,试验效果 (testperformance)是选择淋病诊断试验的关键指标。当社区淋病患病率低时 (如产前检查的妇女 ) ,敏感度与特异度均高的试验方法的阳性预测值 (PPV)也低 ;类似试验…     

聚合酶链反应-单链构型多态性检测细胞壁缺陷型淋病奈瑟菌cppB基因变异

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

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.
