不同品系小鼠对炭疽芽胞杆菌弱毒株芽胞的敏感性研究

通过比较四种品系小鼠对炭疽芽胞杆菌（Bacillus anthracis）（简称炭疽杆菌）弱毒株芽胞的敏感性，确定炭疽杆菌弱毒株芽胞攻毒合适的动物模型。采用炭疽杆菌弱毒株A16Q1（pXO1-、pXO2+）和A16PI2（pXO1+、pXO2-）的芽胞对四种品系小鼠（DBA/2、KM、ICR和BALB/c）进行腹腔攻毒，记录小鼠死亡时间，计算LD₅₀、绘制存活曲线并统计分析。运用较敏感的KM小鼠研究不同canSNP基因型毒素缺陷株（含pXO2拷贝数不同）芽胞的毒力差异。利用更为敏感的DBA/2小鼠评价S-层蛋白BA3338对荚膜缺陷株芽胞毒力的影响。结果表明，在四种品系小鼠中，毒素缺陷株芽胞的毒力均高于荚膜缺陷株芽胞的毒力。DBA/2小鼠对炭疽杆菌弱毒株芽胞的剂量依赖关系最好，最为敏感，其次是KM小鼠，而ICR小鼠和BALB/c小鼠对炭疽杆菌弱毒株芽胞不敏感。确定了DBA/2小鼠和KM小鼠在炭疽杆菌弱毒株芽胞研究中的适用性。使用KM小鼠评价了不同canSNP基因型炭疽杆菌芽胞的毒力差异，结果表明，不同canSNP基因型炭疽杆菌由于所含pXO2质粒拷贝数的差异导致芽胞的毒力不同。使用DBA/2小鼠评价了S-层蛋白BA3338缺失对炭疽杆菌芽胞毒力的影响，表明BA3338基因的缺失导致炭疽杆菌芽胞毒力降低。

广东南岭森林土壤中可培养细菌多样性

广东南岭森林土壤中蕴藏着丰富的生物资源,但对其中的可培养细菌种类仍缺乏系统了解。本研究采用贫营养型的R2A培养基和富营养型的TSA培养基对南岭森林土壤中细菌进行了分离,获得细菌408株,分别从属于厚壁菌门、变形菌门、放线菌门和拟杆菌门的35属。其中的优势类群为厚壁菌门,占分离总数量的71%。在属水平,芽胞杆菌及其近缘属为优势类群。除芽胞杆菌外,假单胞菌、伯克霍尔德氏菌、草酸杆菌科Collimonas属和罗丹诺杆菌科Dyella属是分离获得的主要类群。R2A培养基在分离革兰氏阴性的变形菌门菌株方面表现出一定的偏好性,而TSA培养基分离得到的更多为快速生长的芽胞杆菌及其近缘的革兰氏阳性细菌。发现了15属的菌株具有一定的水解酶活性,大多表现出对淀粉和牛奶的水解活性,对有机磷的水解性能优于对无机磷的水解。降解纤维素的菌株则主要集中于芽胞杆菌及其近缘属中。发现了潜在新物种26株,分布于芽胞杆菌、Dyella、类芽孢杆菌等9属中。本研究仅使用了两种营养类型的培养基,进一步借助培养组学技术有望能更加全面反映南岭森林土壤中的可培养微生物多样性。

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Chemokines and cytokines: axis and allies in asthma and allergy

Allergic asthma can be precipitated by many factors. For the atopic person, fungus, pollen, dust mites, cockroach antigens, and diesel exhaust are all agents that may trigger an allergic attack. Cytokines and chemokines are integral mediators of fungal asthma. From the earliest time points, they recruit and activate the cells required for the clearance of fungus as well as being critical factors involved in the immunopathology of this disease. In the final analysis, it is clear that these mediators can act to the benefit or the detriment of the host.     

Oxidation and nitration of ribonuclease and lysozyme by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase

In spite of the many studies on protein modifications by reactive species, knowledge about the products resulting from the oxidation of protein-aromatic residues, including protein-derived radicals and their stable products, remains limited. Here, we compared the oxidative modifications promoted by peroxynitrite and myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide/nitrite in two model proteins, ribonuclease (6Tyr) and lysozyme (3Tyr/6Trp). The formation of protein-derived radicals and products was higher at pH 5.4 and 7.4 for myeloperoxidase and peroxynitrite, respectively. The main product was 3-nitro-Tyr for both proteins and oxidants. Lysozyme rendered similar yields of nitro-Trp, particularly when oxidized by peroxynitrite. Hydroxylated and dimerized products of Trp and Tyr were also produced, but in lower yields. Localization of the main modified residues indicates that peroxynitrite decomposes to radicals within the proteins behaving less specifically than myeloperoxidase. Nitrogen dioxide is emphasized as an important protein modifier.
