Sera from eight out of 62 (14.5%) patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) reacted by immunoblotting with a 72,000 dalton antigen and one, a patient with concomitant primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), reacted with the 72,000 dalton and a 47,000 dalton antigen. Reactivity with these antigens was not seen with any of 111 control sera. The antigens with minor variations in m.w. were present in a variety of cultured cells and tissue homogenates from different species. Subcellular fractionation studies localized the antigens to the mitochondria. Of 19 sera from patients with other diseases selected for immunofluorescence staining for anti-mitochondria autoantibody, nine reacted with the 72,000 dalton antigen, seven reacted with both the 72,000 and 47,000 dalton antigens, and three reacted with the 47,000 dalton antigen. These results show that serum reactivity with the 72,000 dalton and 47,000 dalton mitochondria autoantigens is found with some patients with PSS. Because mitochondria autoantibodies that are reactive with the 72,000 dalton and 47,000 dalton polypeptides are also found in patients with PBC, the present finding provides additional support for the association of PSS with PBC. Prior absorption of rat liver homogenate with PBC sera removed PSS serum reactivity with a 63,000 dalton antigen, the equivalent 72,000 dalton antigen in rodents, and vice versa, showing that both PBC and PSS sera recognize the same antigen. 相似文献

Rat peritoneal mast cells cocultured with 3T3 fibroblasts (MC/3T3) were activated with Ag or with anti-IgE antibodies in the presence of Ca2+, and their responsiveness to a second similar challenge was evaluated. MC/3T3 were presensitized with IgE anti-DNP antibodies and activated with DNP-human serum albumin. When these MC/3T3 were reactivated with the same Ag 2 and 6 h later, they released only a minimal percentage of histamine. A gradual recovery of responsiveness was detected during the first 7 days after activation, and a full recovery was attained by days 14 to 21. A similar pattern of unresponsiveness was observed when MC/3T3 were challenged and rechallenged with cercarial Ag after presensitization with anticercarial serum. Activation of MC/3T3 with one Ag (DNP-human serum albumin or cercarial) and rechallenge 3 days later with the other Ag did not overcome the state of partial unresponsiveness. Challenging MC/3T3 with anti-IgE led to a subsequent unresponsiveness to rechallenge with the same ligand, regardless of whether or not the cells were presensitized with IgE antibodies. Cross-linkage with anti-IgE resulted in a more intense and prolonged state of unresponsiveness in comparison with that observed with Ag. When MC/3T3 activated with anti-IgE were rechallenged with various IgE-independent agents they released a percentage of histamine comparable to that of control cultures challenged with these secretagogues for the first time. MC/3T3 partially resynthesized their histamine content during the two-week period after activation. Our results suggest that MC undergo a temporary state of "physiologic" unresponsiveness after immunologic activation in the presence of calcium ions. 相似文献

Human "O" cells were fixed with pyruvic aldehyde, treated with tannic acid, and fixed with glutaraldehyde. The cells were sensitized with amoeba antigen and stored in a refrigerator. The sensitized cells were used periodically for the indirect hemagglutination test with a battery of sera from patients with intestinal amebiasis and confirmed and unconfirmed amebic liver abscess, and also from negative controls. The same battery was tested with cells sensitized with different batches of antigen and also with fresh sheep cells. None of the cells showed any reaction with negative control sera. The fixed cells remained sensitive and stable throughout the study. Reproducibility of the titers with the fixed cells within each day and from day to day was satisfactory. The titers with fixed human "O" cells were slightly lower than were the titers with fresh sheep cells. The advantages of using stable, sensitized cells are pointed out. 相似文献

1993~1996年对棉铃虫性诱剂在测报和防治上的应用效果进行调查研究,结果表明,在3种不棉铃虫性诱剂中以中国科学院动物研究所生产的性诱剂诱蛾效果最好,其效果与进口性诱剂相当。在第1代,性诱剂诱蛾效果好于杨树把。在第2代,其效果与杨树把接近。在第3、4代,其效果差于杨树把。性诱剂与杨树把诱蛾的蛾量消长基本同步并且两者与田间卵量消长基本一致。因此,在第1、2代应以性诱剂取代杨树把,在第3、4代应以杨树把进行测报和防治。 相似文献

Patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from hypersomnia; indeed, we have often encountered ADHD patients that fulfill the diagnostic criteria for narcolepsy type 2 (NA 2). Because not all patients with NA 2 carry the HLA-DQB1*06:02 allele, which is closely associated with narcolepsy type 1 (NA 1), NA 2 is believed to be heterogeneous. To reveal the contribution of ADHD in hypersomnia, we studied the characteristics of hypersomnia patients with ADHD, especially those diagnosed with NA 2. Participants were 77 of 185 consecutive outpatients who were diagnosed with NA 2 or idiopathic hypersomnia. We investigated sleep variables in (a) participants with hypersomnia with/without ADHD and (b) patients with NA 2 with/without ADHD and those with/without the DQB1*06:02 allele. The proportion of those diagnosed with NA 2 was higher in hypersomnia patients with ADHD compared to those without ADHD. None of the NA 2 patients with ADHD carried the narcolepsy-specific DQB1*06:02 allele. These patients with NA 2 with ADHD exhibited short REM latencies on the MSLT (similarly to DQB1*06:02-positive patients with NA 2 without ADHD), but less REM-related phenomena than patients with NA 2 without ADHD. Hypersomnia patients with ADHD tended to show short REM latencies, and fulfilled NA 2 diagnostic criteria in the absence of the DQB1*06:02 allele, suggesting a different etiology from NA 1. These findings support the hypotheses of noradrenergic dysregulation and delayed brain maturation that have been proposed for the pathophysiology of ADHD. 相似文献

The effect of the length of the side chain of sterols on their interaction with phosphatidylcholine was studied by measuring the permeability properties of liposomes constituted with sterol analogues with side chains of various lengths. The sensitivities of liposomes constituted with these sterol analogues toward digitonin and polyene antibiotics were also examined.The effects of sterols on phase transition of phosphatidylcholine were examined by measuring their effects on permeability increase due to perturbation of phase equilibrium and by differential scanning calorimetry. An analogue with a short side chain, isopropyl (C-22), had a very similar effect to cholesterol in suppressing the permeability increase, suggesting that the full length of the side chain is not necessary for this effect.The permeability of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine at 42°C was suppressed as much by the analogue C-22 as by cholesterol. Androstene-3-β-ol, an analogue without a side chain, however, had little suppressive effect. Thus it is concluded that the condensing effect of sterol requires a side chain, but not the full length of side chain.Liposomes constituted with analogues having a side chain with more than 5 carbon atoms showed maximum reactivity with a polyene antibiotic, amphotericin B, whereas those constituted with analogues having a side chain with less than 4 carbon atoms showed weaker reactivity. These findings indicate that a side chain with more than 5 carbon atoms is essential for the maximum interaction of liposomes with amphotericin B. Unlike amphotericin B, filipin reacted almost equally well with liposomes containing C-22 and with those containing cholesterol. Thus the chain length of the side chain of sterol is less important for interaction of liposomes with filipin than for their interaction with amphotericin B.Liposomes containing analogues having a side chain with more than 6 carbon atoms showed maximum reactivity with digitonin. Thus for the maximum interaction of liposomes with digitonin, the side chain of sterol should be longer than 6 carbon atoms. 相似文献

Part I of this report deals with the topical use of cortisone in a variety of skin diseases. Fifteen patients with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, four patients with necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, four with psoriasis, one with lichen planus and one with granuloma annulare were treated with cortisone ointment. All the patients with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus had some degree of improvement. In two patients with chronic lupus erythematosus, complete clearing of the eruption occurred. In four patients with necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum remarkable involution resulted. Patients with psoriasis, lichen planus and granuloma annulare were not benefited.Part II deals with the systemic use of cortisone. Eight patients with severe serum sickness-like penicillin reaction responded dramatically to parenterally administered cortisone. In two cases of pemphigus vulgaris and one case of Sulzberger-Garbe disease, the disease was kept in remission with cortisone administered intramuscularly as well as orally. Partial improvement resulted in a case of localized myxedema associated with malignant exophthalmus. Two patients with exfoliative dermatitis due to therapy with heavy metals responded dramatically to cortisone. No beneficial effects were noted in patients with chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis.The systemic use of ACTH and cortisone in dermatology at present should be confined to patients with known fatal or hopelessly incapacitating diseases and to patients with extreme hypersensitivity reactions which may be protracted or life-endangering, and which can be controlled or cured with a relatively small total dosage of the agents in a short time. 相似文献

The M protein of influenza is the predominant structural component of the virus. The interactions of this protein with the viral lipid or with other proteins are not known. The ability of M to interact with viral or other lipids was investigated. Purified M was mixed with viral lipid or egg phosphatidylcholine and was incorporated into vesicles (i) by addition of sodium deoxycholate followed by dialysis or (ii) by sonication. Between 90 and 100% of the M became firmly associated with the lipid by either of these two methods, whereas nucleoprotein failed to associate with the vesicles. From association also occurred if M was mixed with performed vesicles. Most of the M attached to the vesicles could be hydrolyzed with proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin or thermolysin, except for a small fragment of about 5,000 daltons which remained associated with the lipid vesicles. The ability of fragments of M to interact with lipids was also investigated. Of 13 fragments produced by cleavage with cyanogen bromide, 3 specifically associated with lipid vesicles. The data indicate that a specific portion of the M molecule has a high affinity for lipid bilayers of various origins. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal infection of mice, subcutaneously immunized with acetone vaccines of various antigenic composition, with the microbes of hybrid salmonellae strains of murine and typhoid fever caused development of infectious process approaching natural infection. A significant elevation of the intensity of immunity was provided by preparations containing serologically identical O-antigen in infection with O-strains, or Vi-antigen in infection with Vi-strains. For the formation of animal resistance to infection it was necessary to immunize the mice with vaccines containing homologous H- and O-antigens (in infection with O-strains) and H-, O- and Vi-antigens (in infection with Vi-strains). Immunization with killed vaccines with a full-value antigenic structure provided effective protection of mice from doses approaching LD50. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to detect the number of latently infected cells with wild type virus and with mutant with reduced reactivation. Using PCR in situ method we established, that the number of cells containing genome of these viruses do not differ especially between them. The number of cells with LAT expression is significantly reduced in the ganglia infected with mutant with impaired reactivation as we showed using in situ hybridization. Based on the observations of other authors, that high expression of LATs takes place in cells with high copy number of viral DNA our results showed, that after infection of mice with mutant with reduced reactivation less cells contain high copy number of viral DNA than after infection with wild type KOS. We suggest that impaired reactivation of an ICP22 mutant occurs as a result of reduced number of cells with high copy number of viral DNA. 相似文献

The activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase (S-LDH) and S-LDH isoenzymes were determined in 252 patients with a history of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). Fifteen of 37 patients with TGCT lesions and seven of 215 without had raised levels of S-LDH (above 8.0 mukat/l (480 U/l)). Of the patients with TGCT lesions, four had only raised S-LDH-1 levels, one only raised S-LDH-2 (and normal S-LDH), two only raised S-LDH-3 (one with normal S-LDH), and 10 had five combinations of raised levels of S-LDH isoenzymes with a predominance of S-LDH-1. S-LDH and S-LDH-1 correlated significantly with the total tumor volume in the patients with TGCT lesions, especially pronounced in those with lesions from seminoma. Of 34 patients with TGCT metastases, 13 with raised S-LDH levels lived significantly shorter lengths of time than 21 with normal S-LDH. Similarly, 11 with raised S-LDH-1 (above 3.0 mukat/l (180 U/l) lived significantly shorter times than 23 with normal S-LDH-1. S-LDH is a valuable tumor marker in patients with TGCT, especially in those with seminoma. Routine determination of S-LDH isoenzymes in addition to S-LDH in patients with TGCT is not recommended. In patients with a history of TGCT and an unexplained elevation of S-LDH levels, a raised S-LDH-1 level indicates the presence of TGCT lesions. 相似文献

The interactions of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with the polycation chitosan and its derivatives — high molecular weight chitosans (300 kDa) with different degree of N-alkylation, its quaternized derivatives, N-monoacylated low molecular weight chitosans (5.5 kDa) — entrapped in anionic liposomes were studied. It was found that the addition of chitosans changes the surface potential and size of negatively charged liposomes, the magnitudes of which depend on the chitosan concentration. Acylated low molecular weight chitosan interacts with liposomes most effectively. The binding of alkylated high molecular weight chitosan with liposomes increases with the degree of its alkylation. The analysis of interaction of LPS with chitoliposomes has shown that LPS-binding activity decreased in the following order: liposomes coated with a hydrophobic chitosan derivatives > coated with chitosan > free liposomes. Liposomes with N-acylated low molecular weight chitosan bind LPS more effectively than liposomes coated with N-alkylated high molecular weight chitosans. The increase in positive charge on the molecules of N-alkylated high molecular weight chitosans at the cost of quaternization does not lead to useful increase in efficiency of binding chitosan with LPS. It was found that increase in LPS concentration leads to a change in surface ζ-potential of liposomes, an increase in average hydrodynamic diameter, and polydispersity of liposomes coated with N-acylated low molecular weight chitosan. The affinity of the interaction of LPS with a liposomal form of N-acylated chitosan increases in comparison with free liposomes. Computer simulation showed that the modification of the lipid bilayer of liposomes with N-acylated low molecular weight chitosan increases the binding of lipopolysaccharide without an O-specific polysaccharide with liposomes due to the formation of additional hydrogen and ionic bonds between the molecules of chitosan and LPS. 相似文献

Proteins were extracted from rat liver ribosomes and ribosomal subunits: with 67% acetic acid (in the presence of 3.3 mM, 33 mM, or 67 mM Mg) with 2 M LiCL in 4 M urea; with 0.25 N HCI; with 1% SDS; and after RNase digestion. The most efficient extraction and the best recovery were either with acetic acid in the presence of 33 mM or 67 mM Mg, or with LiCI-urea. Protein extracted with acetic acid, LiCi-urea, or with HCI had little or no contamination with RNA. The ribosomal proteins were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis: the proteins extracted with acetic acid were the most soluble in the sample gel solution; their electrophoretograms displayed the maximum number of spots and the smallest number of derivatives or altered proteins. Preparations of protein extracted with SDS or RNase were relatively insoluble in the sample gel solution, and proteins extracted with HCI showed a large number of derivatives. All things considered, the most satisfactory method for the extraction of protein from eukaryotic ribosomes is with 67% acetic acid in the presence of 33 mM MgCl2. 相似文献

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly associated with hypertension. However, the correlation between hypertension and OSA at different levels of severity and the influence of gender on that correlation are unclear. A total of 996 patients (776 males and 190 females) with OSA were recruited. The influence of gender on the correlation between hypertension and OSA at different stratifications of severity, based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), was fully evaluated together with the major health risk factors obesity, age, and diabetes. Females with OSA were significantly older on average than males with OSA. Moreover, females had milder degrees of OSA on average than the extent of severity seen in males. The proportion of females with diabetes or hypertension was higher than that of males. The proportion of males with hypertension and obesity increased significantly with OSA, and age also increased with OSA. The percentage of females with hypertension at different degrees of OSA severity was stable at about 26% in the mild, moderate, and severe OSA groups. Among females, age was increased significantly in the moderate relative to the mild OSA group. Moreover, the proportion of obese subjects was increased significantly in the severe compared with the moderate OSA group. The proportions of males and females with diabetes were not significantly different among all OSA severity groups. An ordinal multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that hypertension, age, and obesity were associated with OSA severity in males, whereas only age and obesity were associated with OSA severity in females. Although the proportion of subjects with hypertension was higher in females with OSA than in males with OSA, the proportion of subjects with hypertension increased as the severity of OSA increased in males but not in females. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To examine the occurrence of adverse reactions to measles vaccine given as a single dose to children with egg allergy, and to determine if the administration of single dose to children with a positive result in an intradermal skin prick test with the vaccine is associated with adverse reactions. DESIGN--Review of results of immunisation and prospective study of 96 consecutively presenting children given intradermal skin testing with the vaccine. SETTING--Children''s allergy centre. SUBJECTS--410 children sensitive to egg referred to the allergy unit for advice about measles immunisation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Nature and severity of reactions associated with the administration of measles vaccine. RESULTS--All children had a positive result in a skin prick test with egg white, and five had a positive result in a skin prick test with vaccine. Of 96 consecutive children, 46 had a positive result in an intradermal test with vaccine. After immunisation with a full dose (0.5 ml) of vaccine adverse reactions were associated with a mild reaction in four children, none of whom required treatment. Only one of the 46 children with a positive result in an intradermal vaccine skin test had a reaction associated with vaccine administration. None of the children with a positive result in a skin prick test with measles vaccine reacted to the vaccine. The rate of minor reactions to the vaccine not requiring treatment was 0.98% (95% confidence interval 0.27% to 2.48%) and serious reactions requiring treatment was 0% (0% to 0.9%). CONCLUSION--Children with IgE mediated allergic reactions to egg protein should be investigated and managed by practitioners with special knowledge in this subject. Measles immunisation should be performed in a setting where any adverse reactions can be dealt with appropriately. Skin tests and measles vaccine and desensitisation are not necessary. 相似文献
