Nonobese diabetic (NOD/LtJ or NOD) mice are resistant to doses of LPS and D-galactosamine that uniformly produce lethality in C57BL/6J (B6) mice (p < 0.01). Liver caspase-3-like activity, serum transaminase levels (both p < 0.05), and the numbers of apoptotic liver nuclei were also reduced in NOD compared with B6 mice treated with LPS (100 ng) and D-galactosamine (8 mg). NOD mice were also at least 100-fold more resistant to recombinant human TNF-alpha and D-galactosamine treatment than B6 mice (p < 0.001). Binding of recombinant human TNF-alpha to splenocytes from NOD mice was similar to that seen in B6 mice, suggesting that the defect in responsiveness was not due to an inability of recombinant human TNF-alpha to bind the NOD TNF type 1 (p55) receptor. Because the TNF type 1 (p55) receptor shares a common signaling pathway with Fas (CD95), NOD and B6 mice were treated with the Fas agonist antibody, Jo-2. Surprisingly, NOD mice were as sensitive as B6 mice to Fas-induced lethality and hepatic injury. In addition, primary hepatocytes isolated from NOD mice and cultured in vitro in the presence of D-galactosamine with or without TNF-alpha were found to be resistant to apoptosis and cytotoxicity when compared with B6 mice. In contrast, Jo-2 treatment produced similar increases in caspase-3 activity and cytotoxicity in primary hepatocytes from NOD and B6 mice. The resistance to LPS- and TNF-alpha-mediated lethality and hepatic injury in D-galactosamine-sensitized NOD mice is apparently due to a post-TNFR binding defect, and independent of signaling pathways shared with Fas. 相似文献

Two series of five membered heterocyclic bis(1,3,4-oxadiazole) derivatives 2(a-h) and 3,5-bis(substituted)pyrazoles, isoxazoles 3(a,b,d-i), 4(a-c) were synthesized via oxidative cyclization of some diaroylhydrazones using chloramine-T and cyclocondensation reaction with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for antioxidant and anti-microbial activities. Compounds 2(b), 3(b), and 4(a) showed higher antioxidant activity at 10 μg/ml while compounds 2(a), 3(a), 3(f), and 4(a) exhibited better anti-microbial activity at 100 μg/ml compared with standard vitamin C and ciprofloxacin, respectively. Structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR data. 相似文献

This paper addresses testing the goodness of fit of models for marginal probabilities estimated by generalized estimating equations. We develop a modified version of generalized estimating equation and a goodness‐of‐fit test based on the fitted marginal means. The test statistic is easy to compute and has a simple reference distribution. Its performance is evaluated asymptotically and in small samples. It is also compared to the deviance and Pearson X2 statistics. Example applications are given. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A are related genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Analysis for both mutations is increasingly being performed on patients exhibiting hypercoagulability. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin-G20210A (PT-G20210A) polymorphisms and their coexistence among apparently healthy Jordanians. One thousand apparently healthy individuals from representative regions of Jordan with no previous history of VTE participated in this study. The mean age of participants was 28.5+/-6.4 years (age range 18-45 years). Two hundred and eighteen subjects were APC resistant with an APC-R mean of 85.52+/-15.35 seconds; the non-resistant subjects had an APC-R mean of 159.90+/-26.96 seconds. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) for the simultaneous detection of FVL and prothrombin G20210A was used to analyze the 218 DNA samples that were APC-R resistant. Both mutations generate HindIII RFLPs and the prothrombin amplicon contains an invariant HindIII recognition sites. The multiplex PCR-RFLP of Factor V for those 218-samples was: 41 wild-type, 169 heterozygous mutant, and eight homozygous mutant individuals. For prothrombin G20210A, the multiplex PCR-RFLP identified 215 wild-type and three heterozygous mutant individuals. Factor V positive individuals (n=50) had a mean F-V activity of 78.04%+/-25.81. F-V activity among wild type (n=41), F-V Leiden heterozygous (n=169) and F-V Leiden homozygous (n=8) were 92.93%+/-16.17, 87.02%+/-15.21 and 96.14%+/-12.32, respectively. Factor II positive subjects (n=47) had a mean factor II activity of 127.96%+/-21.37. F-II activity among carriers (heterozygous, n=3) and non-carriers (normal, n=215) of PT-G20210A mutation were 107.67%+/-9.29 and 105.00%+/-17.79, respectively. The prevalence of FVL was 21.8% and there is a little likelihood of the co-inheritance of the FVL and PT-G20210A among healthy young adults, since only few cases were found to be carriers for the two alleles. 相似文献

This article examines group testing procedures where units within a group (or pool) may be correlated. The expected number of tests per unit (i.e., efficiency) of hierarchical- and matrix-based procedures is derived based on a class of models of exchangeable binary random variables. The effect on efficiency of the arrangement of correlated units within pools is then examined. In general, when correlated units are arranged in the same pool, the expected number of tests per unit decreases, sometimes substantially, relative to arrangements that ignore information about correlation. 相似文献

We describe an algorithm based upon the Sherman–Morrison–Woodburyformula for the inversion of matrices with special structurethat occur in formulae for deletion diagnostics. Substantialcomputational savings relative to a method based upon Cholesky'sdecomposition are illustrated. The result has broad applicationto regression diagnostics for clustered data. 相似文献

We developed a new class of vaccines, based on killed but metabolically active (KBMA) bacteria, that simultaneously takes advantage of the potency of live vaccines and the safety of killed vaccines. We removed genes required for nucleotide excision repair (uvrAB), rendering microbial-based vaccines exquisitely sensitive to photochemical inactivation with psoralen and long-wavelength ultraviolet light. Colony formation of the nucleotide excision repair mutants was blocked by infrequent, randomly distributed psoralen crosslinks, but the bacterial population was able to express its genes, synthesize and secrete proteins. Using the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes as a model platform, recombinant psoralen-inactivated Lm DeltauvrAB vaccines induced potent CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses and protected mice against virus challenge in an infectious disease model and provided therapeutic benefit in a mouse cancer model. Microbial KBMA vaccines used either as a recombinant vaccine platform or as a modified form of the pathogen itself may have broad use for the treatment of infectious disease and cancer. 相似文献

Marginal models for correlated binary responses with multiple classes and multiple levels of nesting. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A model for correlated binary data is presented. Marginal probabilities and odds ratios are allowed to have general regression structures that include multiple classes and multiple levels of nesting. Estimation is done through the generalized estimating equations approach of Liang and Zeger (1986, Biometrika 73, 13-22). They are contrasted with conditional models and recommendations for choosing between the two are given. Examples from genetic epidemiology are presented. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF), which binds to both VEGF receptor-1 (Flt1) and VEGFR-2 (KDR/Flk-1), requires nitric oxide (NO) to induce angiogenesis in a cGMP-dependent manner. Here we show that VEGF-E, a VEGFR-2-selective ligand stimulates NO release and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Inhibition of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) with U73122 abrogated VEGF-E induced endothelial cell migration, tube formation and NO release. Inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) using l-NNA blocked VEGF-E-induced NO release and angiogenesis. Pre-incubation of HUVEC with the soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor, ODQ, or the protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, KT-5823, had no effect on angiogenesis suggesting that the action of VEGF-E is cGMP-independent. Our data provide the first demonstration that VEGFR-2-mediated NO signaling and subsequent angiogenesis is through a mechanism that is dependent on PLCgamma but independent of cGMP and PKG. 相似文献
