Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory disorder characterized by incompletely reversible airflow obstruction. Bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract contributes to approximately 50% of COPD exacerbations. Even during periods of stable lung function, the lung harbors a community of bacteria, termed the microbiome. The role of the lung microbiome in the pathogenesis of COPD remains unknown. The COPD lung microbiome, like the healthy lung microbiome, appears to reflect microaspiration of oral microflora. Here we describe the COPD lung microbiome of 22 patients with Moderate or Severe COPD compared to 10 healthy control patients. The composition of the lung microbiomes was determined using 454 pyrosequencing of 16S rDNA found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Sequences were analyzed using mothur, Ribosomal Database Project, Fast UniFrac, and Metastats. Our results showed a significant increase in microbial diversity with the development of COPD. The main phyla in all samples were Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. Principal coordinate analyses demonstrated separation of control and COPD samples, but samples did not cluster based on disease severity. However, samples did cluster based on the use of inhaled corticosteroids and inhaled bronchodilators. Metastats analyses demonstrated an increased abundance of several oral bacteria in COPD samples. 相似文献

Objective To determine if a school based educational programme aimed at reducing consumption of carbonated drinks can prevent excessive weight gain in children.Design Cluster randomised controlled trial.Setting Six primary schools in southwest England.Participants 644 children aged 7-11 years.Intervention Focused educational programme on nutrition over one school year.Main outcome measures Drink consumption and number of overweight and obese children.Results Consumption of carbonated drinks over three days decreased by 0.6 glasses (average glass size 250 ml) in the intervention group but increased by 0.2 glasses in the control group (mean difference 0.7, 95% confidence interval 0.1 to 1.3). At 12 months the percentage of overweight and obese children increased in the control group by 7.5%, compared with a decrease in the intervention group of 0.2% (mean difference 7.7%, 2.2% to 13.1%).Conclusion A targeted, school based education programme produced a modest reduction in the number of carbonated drinks consumed, which was associated with a reduction in the number of overweight and obese children. 相似文献

To investigate the congenital complex vertebral malformation syndrome (CVM) in Holstein calves, two breeding studies were
performed including 262 and 363 cows, respectively. Cows were selected from the Danish Cattle Database based on pedigree and
insemination records. Selected cows were progeny of sires with an established heterozygous CVM genotype and pregnant after
insemination with semen from another sire with heterozygous CVM genotype. Following calving the breeders should state, if
the calf was normal and was requested to submit dead calves for necropsy. In both studies, significantly fewer CVM affected
calves than expected were obtained; a finding probably reflecting extensive intrauterine mortality in CVM affected foetuses.
The findings illustrate increased intrauterine mortality as a major potential bias in observational studies of inherited disorders. 相似文献

Magnetosomes are prokaryotic organelles produced by magnetotactic bacteria that consist of nanometer-sized magnetite (Fe3O4) or/and greigite (Fe3S4) magnetic crystals enveloped by a lipid bilayer membrane. In magnetite-producing magnetotactic bacteria, proteins present in the magnetosome membrane modulate biomineralization of the magnetite crystal. In these microorganisms, genes that encode for magnetosome membrane proteins as well as genes involved in the construction of the magnetite magnetosome chain, the mam and mms genes, are organized within a genomic island. However, partially because there are presently no greigite-producing magnetotactic bacteria in pure culture, little is known regarding the greigite biomineralization process in these organisms including whether similar genes are involved in the process. Here using culture-independent techniques, we now show that mam genes involved in the production of magnetite magnetosomes are also present in greigite-producing magnetotactic bacteria. This finding suggest that the biomineralization of magnetite and greigite did not have evolve independently (that is, magnetotaxis is polyphyletic) as once suggested. Instead, results presented here are consistent with a model in which the ability to biomineralize magnetosomes and the possession of the mam genes was acquired by bacteria from a common ancestor, that is, the magnetotactic trait is monophyletic. 相似文献

This study examined the application of previously characterized microparticles composed of hyaluronan (HA) and chitosan hydroglutamate (CH) as well as novel microparticles consisting of both polymers (HA/CH) to improve the nasal delivery of a model drug. The rabbit bioavailabilities of gentamicin incorporated in HA, CH, and HA/CH microparticles were increased 23-, 31-, and 42-fold, respectively, compared with the control intranasal solution of gentamicin, indicating that all test microparticles were retained for longer periods on the nasal mucosa of the rabbits as supported by previous in vitro dissolution as well as frog palate mucoadhesion studies, thereby improving drug absorption. The higher bioavailabilities of CH-based formulations (CH and HA/CH) suggest the penetration-enhancing effects of CH may also be partially responsible for the improvement. A model was developed, based on a glass impinger device, to deliver dry powder formulations reproducibly onto the surface of cultured cell monolayers. In vitro permeability and fluorescence microscopy studies on the tight junctions of the 16HBE14o- cell lines further confirmed the ability of CH-based formulations to enhance penetration. Furthermore, the in vitro absorption profile from cell culture studies was consistent with those determined from in vivo studies. The complementary effect from the mucoadhesive nature of HA coupled with the penetration-enhancing effects of CH makes the novel HA/CH formulation a promising nasal delivery system. 相似文献
