肠道菌群与肿瘤的相关性

人类肠道中有500余种细菌,参与消化、代谢和免疫等生理活动。肠道菌群因其数量庞大、作用显著,被称为人体的"第二基因"。随着研究的不断深入,发现肠道菌群与多种疾病如心脑血管疾病、糖尿病、肥胖、胃肠炎甚至肿瘤的发生息息相关。恶性肿瘤作为一种病死率极高的疾病,近年来与其相关的研究也越来越丰富。研究者们发现,肠道菌群在肺癌、黑色素瘤、消化道肿瘤和血液系统肿瘤等的发生、发展及治疗中发挥着重要的作用,已成为近年来的研究热点。因此,本文对肠道菌群与各类肿瘤的关系研究进展进行综述。     

溃疡性结肠炎肠道菌群及其代谢产物的研究进展

溃疡性结肠炎(UC)是一种病因尚未阐明的慢性非特异性肠道炎症疾病,多认为由易感人群免疫反应紊乱所致,疾病负担重,严重影响生活质量。近年随着人们生活方式的改变与诊断水平的提升,UC发病率和患病率逐年增加。研究显示肠道菌群及其代谢产物在UC的发生发展过程中起着关键作用,包括调节免疫、参与信号转导、保护肠黏膜屏障和营养代谢等,肠道菌群代谢产物的紊乱及微生态的失衡在炎症的形成及发展、免疫应激及稳态等方面产生重要影响。该文对近年来肠道菌群及其代谢产物与UC关系的相关研究作一综述,并探讨基于肠道菌群以及其代谢产物的UC防治策略。     

肠道菌群在慢性肝脏疾病中作用的研究进展

随着肠—肝轴机制研究的不断深入,肠道菌群与多种慢性肝脏疾病如非酒精性脂肪性肝病、酒精性肝病、肝硬化等相关性研究日益增多。肠道菌群通过肠道菌群失调、物质能量代谢改变及免疫反应激活等机制在多种肝脏疾病发生发展中发挥重要作用。本文对肠道菌群与慢性肝脏疾病关系的研究进展进行综述。     

肠黏膜屏障与肠道菌群的相互关系

人类肠道中微生物群与肠道环境相互作用以维持机体健康。肠黏膜屏障主要由黏液层、肠道菌群、肠道免疫系统和肠上皮细胞本身的完整性等构成。肠道作为直接与大量菌群接触的器官,其屏障功能在肠道健康中的作用尤为显著。肠道菌群与肠道屏障相互作用,保持肠道菌群与肠道屏障相对稳定,肠道菌群参与肠道免疫反应的建立,共同建立机体天然防御系统,在保持肠道免疫的动态平衡中具有重要作用。当两者之间的平衡被打破时,可诱发功能性胃肠病（如肠易激综合征）及免疫相关性疾病（如炎症性肠病）。本文主要阐述肠黏膜屏障与肠道菌群之间的相互关系以及与肠道屏障功能障碍相关的肠道疾病。

肠道微生态与非消化系统疾病的研究进展

人体肠道微生态系统是人体微生态系统中最大最复杂的一部分,参与机体代谢、免疫等各方面的生理作用。由于内外源性的病理因素导致肠道微生态的破坏可能会引起人体疾病。随着肠道微生态与消化道疾病研究的不断深入,越来越多的学者开始关注肠道微生态与非消化道疾病的相关性。近年来大量研究表明,肠道微生态与肥胖、神经精神病、皮肤病、心脑血管疾病、消化道外肿瘤、感染性疾病和自身免疫病等非消化系统疾病具有相关性。微生态制剂和粪菌移植可以通过调节肠道微生态平衡参与这类疾病的预防和治疗。肠道微生态系统与消化系统疾病的相关性已被广泛研究和阐述,本文侧重对肠道微生态与非消化系统疾病的研究进展进行综述。     

肠道菌群与肿瘤的免疫治疗

肠道菌群是居住于人体肠道内的正常微生物群体。肠道菌群通常与宿主成共生关系,并与宿主的消化、代谢、免疫调节等生理活动息息相关。靶向作用于免疫检查点的免疫检查点抑制剂,作为肿瘤免疫治疗中的新星,有着逆转肿瘤免疫微环境的作用,为肿瘤治疗提供了新的希望。然而研究发现,有部分人群对免疫检查点抑制剂的治疗无响应,而导致其无响应的最主要的原因是肠道菌群的异常。因此,本文对肠道菌群与肿瘤免疫治疗特别是与免疫检查点抑制剂的研究现状进行综述。

硒和硒蛋白与宿主肠道健康的互作调节机制

硒是生物体必需的微量元素之一,在体内合成为硒蛋白,参与抗氧化和免疫应答等众多生理机能的调控.近期研究表明,硒和硒蛋白可能与宿主肠道微生物、抗氧化系统和免疫因子存在互作调节肠道稳态的功能,进而起到预防和治疗肠道疾病的作用.本文综述了硒在肠道中的吸收和硒蛋白的合成及功能,重点解析了硒和硒蛋白与肠道微生物、肠道氧化应激和肠道免疫间的互作调节机制及其在肠癌中的潜在作用,以期为硒用于预防或治疗肠道疾病提供新的思路和依据.     

肠道菌群失调引起类风湿关节炎发病的研究进展

肠道菌群大多与宿主共生进化,菌群结构、数量恒定形成稳态,能有效预防有害病菌的入侵和炎性疾病的发生。目前多项研究结果显示,肠道菌群失调可能与多种疾病相关联,包括2型糖尿病、肥胖症、肝硬化、结直肠癌和类风湿关节炎。有研究表明,肠道菌群是影响类风湿关节炎(rheumatoid arthritis, RA)发病的环境因素,其中涉及的机制有肠道菌群-黏膜稳态的失衡,其不利于肠道适应性免疫的形成,使得免疫系统不能识别常驻菌与致病菌,引起黏膜紊乱;另一种机制是肠道菌群失调激活免疫因子,引起全身免疫反应。由此可见,肠道菌群参与类风湿关节炎的发生、发展,既有肠道黏膜与菌群的局部调节,也有全身性免疫因子的共同参与。本文主要对肠道菌群失调诱导类风湿关节炎发病的相关性研究予以综述,为进一步研究关节炎早期预防及病因治疗提供理论依据。     

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.
