The lethal actions of mitomycin C and actinomycin D were followed during the division cycle of HeLa cells. The cells were most susceptible to a 2 hr pulse of mitomycin C during the G1 phase, whereas their sensitivity to actinomycin D was most pronounced in the S phase. Posttreatment of the cells with acetoxycycloheximide, a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis, increased the survival (colony-forming ability) of cells treated with mitomycin C but had very little effect on the survival of cells treated with actinomycin D. The significance of these findings is discussed. 相似文献

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among hemodialysis (HD) patients recently became a nephrologist's focus of interest. HRQoL is an important predictor of outcome in HD patients and need to be regularly assessed. The aim of the present study was to compare the HRQoL of chronic HD patients with general population and to analyze influencing sociodemographic and clinical factors. We included 255 prevalent HD patients from four dialysis centers. HRQoL was measured with The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). This data were compared with control group (N = 132) from the general Croatian population. Comparisons of SF-36 scale scores of HD patients regarding demographic and clinical factors (age, gender, education level, dialysis vintage and diabetes) were also performed and analyzed with a multivariate regression analysis. HRQoL in prevalent HD patients was relatively low (mean Physical Component Summary, PCS = 33.7, mean Mental Component Summary, MCS = 43.0) and was lower compared to the control group from the general population in all HRQoL domains, PCS and MCS scores. Almost 53% of the HD patients had the critical score PCS < 43 + MCS < 51 as the predictor of death and hospitalization. Better HRQoL was revealed in the patients < 65 years old, males, patients with higher educational level and in the patients on maintenance HD less than one year. Age was the only statistically significant predictor of PCS and MCS. Developments of HD technology, treatment of comorbidities, continuous patients' education, social and psychological support and use of other renal replacement modalities, especially kidney transplantation, may improve the HRQoL in these patients. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate metabolites of the lichen Laurera benguelensis. A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for the characterization of xanthones and anthraquinones in extracts of this lichen. Lichexanthone, secalonic acid D, norlichexanthon, parietin, emodin, teloschistin and citreorosein were detected in the lichen samples, which were collected from two places in Thailand. Components of the lichen were identified by relative retention time and spectral data. This is the first time that a detailed phytochemical analysis of the lichen L. benguelensis was reported and this paper has chemotaxonomic significance because very little has been published on the secondary metabolites present in Laurera species. Some of the metabolites were detected for the first time in the family Trypetheliaceae. The results of preliminary testing of benzene extract and its chloroform and methanol fractions showed that all samples showed a weak radical scavenging activity. The chloroform extract showed the highest antioxidant activity. 相似文献

The process of electrostatic extrusion as a method for cell immobilization was investigated that could be used for potential applications in medicine. An attempt was made to assess the effects of cell addition and polymer concentration on the overall entrapment procedure, ie, on each stage of immobilization: polymer-cell suspension rheological characteristics, electrostatic extrusion process, and the process ofgelation. The findings should contribute to a better understanding of polymer-cell interactions, which could be crucial in possible medical treatments. Alginate-yeast was used as a model system for carrier-cells. The electrostatic extrusion was considered as a complex two-phase flow system and the effects of cell and alginate concentrations on the resulting microbead size and uniformity were assessed. Under investigated conditions, microbeads 50-600 microm in diameter were produced and the increase in both alginate and cell concentrations resulted in larger microbeads with higher standard deviations in size. We attempted to rationalize the findings by rheological characterization of the cell-alginate suspensions. Rheological characterization revealed non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic behavior of cell-alginate suspensions with higher viscosities at higher alginate concentrations. However, the presence of cells even at high concentrations (5x10(8) and 1x10(9) cells/mL) did not significantly affect the rheological properties of Na-alginate solution. Lastly, we investigated the kinetics of alginate gelation with respect to the quantity of Ca2+ ions and cell presence. The gelation kinetics were examined under conditions of limited supply with Ca2+ ions, which can be essential for immobilization of highly sensitive mammalian cells that require minimal exposure to CaCl2 solution. The molar ratio of G units to Ca2+ ions of 3.8:1 provided complete crosslinking, while the increase in alginate concentration resulted in prolonged gelation times but higher strength of the resulting gel. The cell presence decreased the rate of network formation as well as the strength of the obtained Ca-alginate hydrogel. 相似文献

Optimization in radiotherapy may be conceivably achieved by individualized treatment regimens. For this, the radiosensitivity of the tumor cells to be treated must be known. A method is presented to show that the effect of radiation on tumor cells in spheroids can be quantitatively evaluated without complicated cell determinations of spheroid composition. This evaluation is based on the dynamics of inactivation of the colony forming ability of whole spheroids composed chiefly of non-transformed diploid fibroblasts and a minority of HeLa "test" cells. Here, spheroids of identical composition, but of different sizes are inactivated proportional to their sizes, thus obviating the need for tedious single cell procedures. The use of spheroids of different sizes permits the deduction of dose-effect relationships, and the innate radiosensitivity of tumors cells. This is a novel method for measuring the radio and chemosensitivity of tumors in primary culture, i.e. cells directly isolated from tumors. 相似文献

Effect of nutrition of parasites with nectar of melliferous plants on parasitism of the elm bark beetles (Col., Scolytidae) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the forest of Kljestevica, the elm is attacked by four species of elm bark beetles: Scolytus multistriatus (Marsh.), Scolytus scolytus (Fab.), Scolytus pygmaeus (Fab.) and Scolytus ensifer (Rich.) (Col., Scolytidae). Scolytus multistriatus and S. pygmaeus are the most numerous species. Elm bark beetle is parasitized by four species of parasites: Dendrosoter protuberans (Nees), Ecphylus silesiacus (Ratz.), Coeloides scolyticida (Wesm.) (Hym., Braconidae) and Entedon leucogramma (Ratz.) (Hym., Eulophidae). Ecphylus silesiacus and D. protuberans are the most numerous species. The nectar of mustard ( Sinapis alba L., Brassicaceae) flowers, sweet basil ( Stachys recta L., Lamiaceae) flowers and of wild carrot ( Daucus carota L., Umbelliferae), has an important effect on the number of parasites and on the parasitism of the elm bark beetles. Wild carrot is the most attractive plant to the parasites for additional nutrition, especially for D. protuberans . Mustard and sweet basil flowers are suitable for additional nutrition of E. silesiacus imagos. On meadow flowers growing spontaneously in forest clearings, the lowest number of parasite imagos was collected by an entomological catcher, and the lowest percentage of parasitized larvae and eggs of the elm bark beetle was recorded in elm control catch trunks that were not near the cultivated melliferous plants. 相似文献

We describe a 49-year-old man with coexistence of ochronosis and B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis. This is the first report documenting the simultaneous occurrence of ochronosis and B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis, with no positive familiar history for seronegative spondylarthropathies. The relations of these rheumatic diseases are discussed. 相似文献

In the north Croatian Adriatic area in the period of seven years (from January 2001 to September 2007) 475 patients (39 to 80 years of age) with dry form of age related macular degeneration (AMD) were diagnosed. Complete ophthalmologic examination with special reference to visual field testing (Perimetric analysis) was performed. Peripheral visual field defects were found in 85% of patients. Elderly patients with more advanced forms of macular degeneration had more peripheral visual field defects. In 400 patients corticosteroid therapy (5 mg Prednisolonacetate, anterior H-inject, Winthorp) was administered via parabulbar injections every day/five days. Control group consisted of 75 patients treated with regular polyvitamine therapy (Lutein, Beta Karoten, Vitamin E). Patients treated with corticosteroids had peripheral visual field improvements from 10 to 25 degrees and central field improvements from 5 to 20%. In the control group treated with vitamins, central visual field showed improvements from 0.5 to 1% in 43 patients but without peripheral visual field improvements after 6 months. 相似文献

The most favourable period for Dendrosoter protuberans development occurred when wasps were introduced 16 days after the beginning of Scolytus multistriatus development (the greatest number of emerged wasps per a single parasitoid female with a very positive sexual index and high percentage of parasitised elm bark beetle larvae). No significant differences were observed in parasitoid efficiency between the 11th and the 21st day. The most unfavourable period for elm bark beetle parasitisation was six days after the beginning of S. multistriatus development (a low reproduction of D. protuberans, a negative sexual index and a low number of destroyed S. multistriatus larvae). The reproduction of both the elm bark beetle and D. protuberans was greater in the first, than in the second generation. The developmental period of D. protuberans in the first generation was approximately two days longer than in the second generation. Furthermore, the development of females was 1-2 days longer than the development of males. D. protuberans developed most successfully on S. multistriatus (the most abundant parasitoid reproduction with the longest developmental period and a very positive sexual index that resulted in a high percentage of parasitised larvae) and then on S. ensifer, S. pygmaeus and Pteleobius kraatzi. On the other hand, S. scolytus larvae were the poorest host of all elm species - the reproduction of D. protuberans in this species was the scarcest with the shortest period of development and a negative sexual index, hence larval parasitisation was the lowest. 相似文献

Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is composed of two α1(I) and one α2(I) polypeptides which assemble into a triple helix. For the proper assembly of the collagen triple helix, the individual polypeptides must be translated in coordination. Here, we show that serine-threonine kinase receptor-associated protein (STRAP) is tethered to collagen mRNAs by interaction with LARP6. LARP6 is a protein which directly binds the 5′ stem-loop (5′SL) present in collagen α1(I) and α2(I) mRNAs, but it interacts with STRAP with its C-terminal domain, which is not involved in binding 5′SL. Being tethered to collagen mRNAs, STRAP prevents unrestricted translation, primarily that of collagen α2(I) mRNAs, by interacting with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A). In the absence of STRAP, more collagen α2(I) mRNA can be pulled down with eIF4A, and collagen α2(I) mRNA is unrestrictedly loaded onto the polysomes. This results in an imbalance of synthesis of α1(I) and α2(I) polypeptides, in hypermodifications of α1(I) polypeptide, and in inefficient assembly of the polypeptides into a collagen trimer and their secretion as monomers. These defects can be partially restored by supplementing STRAP. Thus, we discovered STRAP as a novel regulator of the coordinated translation of collagen mRNAs. 相似文献
