缺血预处理对兔脊髓缺血再灌注损伤水通道蛋白-4表达的影响

目的探讨缺血预处理（IPC）对兔脊髓缺血再灌注损伤后水通道蛋白-4（AQP-4）表达的影响。方法日本大耳白兔72只,随机分为3组：假手术组（S组）、脊髓缺血再灌注损伤组（I／R组）和缺血预处理组（IPC组）。I／R组和IPC组阻断腹主动脉30min造成脊髓缺血再灌注损伤,IPC组在损伤前短暂阻断腹主动脉5min二次实施预处理,S组暴露肾动脉下腹主动脉但不阻断。分别于再灌注损伤后4h和24h进行神经功能评分,并取L4—6脊髓缺血节段,计算脊髓组织含水量,免疫组化法测定脊髓组织中AQP-4表达水平。结果与S组比较,I／R组神经运动功能评分降低,脊髓组织含水量增加,AQP-4表达增加（P〈0．05）。与I／R组比较,IPC组神经运动功能评分增高,脊髓组织含水量降低,AQP-4表达减少（P〈0．05）。结论IPC可抑制脊髓损伤后AQP-4的表达,进而减轻脊髓水肿,保护缺血再灌注损伤的脊髓。     

RNA干扰NF-κB p65对缺血再灌注损伤鼠肺NF-κB和TNF-α的影响

为了研究RNA干扰NF-κBp65对鼠肺缺血再灌注损伤肺组织中NF-κB、TNF-α表达的影响,并探讨减轻鼠肺损伤的保护机制。本研究构建了体外靶向NF-κBp65的短发夹RNA (short hairpin RNA, shRNA)重组表达载体,并采用QPCR检测NF-κBp65的沉默结果。供试的16只SD大鼠随机分为4组:假手术组4只、缺血再灌注+生理盐水组4只,缺血再灌注+NF-κBp65 sh RNA组4只,缺血再灌注+空载组4只,假手术组无缺血再灌注损伤,开胸游离左肺门180 min,缺血再灌注+生理盐水组左肺门阻断前术前24 h给予生理盐水处理,开胸游离左肺门,左肺缺血60 min,再灌注120 min,缺血再灌注+NF-κBp65 shRNA组左肺门阻断前术前24 h滴鼻给予NF-κB shRNA腺病毒(1×1010pfu, 100μL/只),开胸游离左肺门,左肺缺血60 min,再灌注120 min,缺血再灌注+空载组左肺门阻断前术前24 h滴鼻给予空载shRNA腺病毒(1×10~(10)pfu, 100μL/只),开胸游离左肺门,左肺缺血60 min,再灌注120 min。实验结束后每组分别留取左肺组织,留取左肺上叶肺组织测定肺湿/干重比(W/D),部分肺组织光镜下观察病理变化,ELISA法测量NF-κB和TNF-α的表达含量。研究结果表明:成功构建重组NF-κBp65载体,并获得稳定转染的NF-κBp65 shRNA细胞,与转染空载体的阴性对照组(negative control, NC)比较,NF-κBp65 sh RNA能明显使NF-κBp65基因沉默(p0.05),肺组织NF-κB、TNF-α的表达量及W/D值与假手术组比较,缺血再灌注+生理盐水组和缺血再灌注+空载组有明显升高(p0.05);而与缺血再和灌注+生理盐水组和缺血再灌注+空载组比较,缺血再灌注+NF-κBp65 shRNA组明显降低(p0.05),病理学检查表明:假手术组肺组织无明显的炎症损伤;缺血再灌注+NF-κBp65 shRNA组肺炎性损伤较缺血再灌注+生理盐水组和缺血再灌注+空载组明显减轻。本研究结果初步说明,RNA干扰NF-κBp65能明显减轻早期肺移植损伤,其机制可能与抑制NF-κB和TNF-α的表达从而减轻肺组织炎症损伤有关。

心肌缺血／再灌注损伤后血清和心肌组织Leptin水平的变能

目的：观察大鼠心肌缺血／再灌注损伤对血清和心肌组织瘦素（Leptin）表达的影响,探讨Leptin在心肌缺血／再灌注损伤中的作用。方法：建立大鼠心肌缺血／再灌注模型,检测血清乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）和Leptin浓度,并用HE染色和免疫组织化学观察心肌组织病理学及Lepfin表达水平。结果：缺血组、再灌注组血清LDH水平显著升高（P〈0．05）,表明该模型制作成功,造成心肌局部一定程度的损伤。缺血组血清Leptin含量（6．34±2．49）ng／ml显著低于对照组（7．50±2．93ng／ml,P〈0．05）;再灌注后Leptin水平缓慢恢复,于再灌注2h时Leptin达到（8．32±1．74）ng／ml,恢复到损伤前水平（8．38±2．56）ng／ml,且随再灌注时间延长有升高趋势。免疫纽化显示与假手术纽心肌Leptin蛋白表达水平相比,其他四组均有显著降低（P〈0．01）,按缺血45min后再灌注1h组、缺血45min后再灌注3h组、单纯缺血45min组、缺血45min后再灌注2h组依次递减。结论：Leptin在心肌缺血／再灌注损伤后早期45min血中有明显减少,心肌组织中也明显表达下降。心肌组织病理损伤与Leptin的改变可能有一定的关系。     

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.     

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.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
