In Vietnam, a large proportion of all malaria cases and deaths occurs in the central mountainous and forested part of the country. Indeed, forest malaria, despite intensive control activities, is still a major problem which raises several questions about its dynamics. A large-scale malaria morbidity survey to measure malaria endemicity and identify important risk factors was carried out in 43 villages situated in a forested area of Ninh Thuan province, south central Vietnam. Four thousand three hundred and six randomly selected individuals, aged 10–60 years, participated in the survey. Rag Lays (86%), traditionally living in the forest and practising "slash and burn" cultivation represented the most common ethnic group. The overall parasite rate was 13.3% (range [0–42.3] while Plasmodium falciparum seroprevalence was 25.5% (range [2.1–75.6]). Mapping of these two variables showed a patchy distribution, suggesting that risk factors other than remoteness and forest proximity modulated the human-vector interactions. This was confirmed by the results of the multivariate-adjusted analysis, showing that forest work was a significant risk factor for malaria infection, further increased by staying in the forest overnight (OR= 2.86; 95%CI [1.62; 5.07]). Rag Lays had a higher risk of malaria infection, which inversely related to education level and socio-economic status. Women were less at risk than men (OR = 0.71; 95%CI [0.59; 0.86]), a possible consequence of different behaviour. This study confirms that malaria endemicity is still relatively high in this area and that the dynamics of transmission is constantly modulated by the behaviour of both humans and vectors. A well-targeted intervention reducing the "vector/forest worker" interaction, based on long-lasting insecticidal material, could be appropriate in this environment. 相似文献

The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) synthesized
by bacteria (bacteriocins) is an alternative for combating multidrug
resistant bacterial strains and their production by recombinant route
is a viable option for their mass production. The bacteriocin E-760
isolated from the genus Enterococcus sp. has been shown to possess
inhibitory activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacteria. In this study, the expression of a chimeric protein coding
for E-760 in the nucleus of C. reinhardtii was evaluated, as well as,
its antibacterial activity. The synthetic gene E-760S was inserted
into the genome of C. reinhardtii using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
A transgenic line was identified in TAP medium with hygromycin
and also by PCR. The increment in the culture medium temperature
of the transgenic strain at 35 °C for 10 minutes, increased the
production level of the recombinant protein from 0.14 (Noninduced
culture, NIC) to 0.36% (Induced culture, IC) of total soluble
proteins (TSP); this was quantified by an ELISA assay. Recombinant
E-760 possesses activity against Staphylococcus aureus in 0.34 U
log, Streptococcus agalactiae in 0.48 U log, Enterococcus faecium in
0.36 U log, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 2 U log and for Klebsiella
pneumoniae, the activity was 0.07 U log. These results demonstrate
that the nucleus transformation of C. reinhardtii can function as
a stable expression platform for the production of the synthetic
gene E-760 and it can potentially be used as an antibacterial agent. 相似文献

Expression of hepatocyte-specific genes in slow- and fast-growing hepatocellular mouse carcinomas was studied. The fast-growing poorly differentiated passaged hepatocarcinoma (fHC) originated from the well-differentiated slow-growing variant (sHC). In contrast to the parental hepatocarcinoma, in fHC the expression of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4), in fHC a key factor responsible for hepatocyte differentiation, and several HNF-4-responsive genes, such as those for transferrin, transthyretin, hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF1), and serum albumin, was significantly suppressed. The expression of exogenous HNF4 in the fHC cell culture partially restored the expression of hepatocyte marker genes and the appearance of epithelial cell islands in the culture. The described system may serve as a convenient model for further analysis of mechanisms underlying hepatocarcinogenesis and liver tumor progression. 相似文献

In rabbit skeletal muscle extracts the activity of phosphodiesterase practically insensitive to the increase of Ca2+ concentration from 10(-8) M up to 10(-5) M. The Ca2+-dependent protein regulator is separated from phosphodiesterase at the stage of isolation and purification. The activity of phosphodiesterase devoid of the protein regulator is inhibited by Ca2+ (10(-5)--10(-3) M). An addition of Ca2+-dependent regulator protects the enzyme against inhibition by Ca2+. The Km values for 3',5'-AMP (5 mkM) and 3',5'-GMP (13 mkM) appear to be close; however, the maximal hydrolysis rates for these nucleotides differ considerably (14,0 and 0,25--0,50 nmoles/min/mg of protein). The hydrolysis of 3',5'-AMP is increased 1,6--3,2-fold under the effect of 3',5'-GMP and that of 3',5'-GMP is increased 1,8--2,7-fold under the effect of 3',5'-AMP. Using ion-exchange chromatography it was shown that only 1% of the total activity of skeletal muscle phosphodieterase belongs to the phosphodiesterase sensitive to the activating effect of Ca2+-dependent regulator the activity of this enzymic form is increased 4--5 fold. The Ca2+-dependent regulator of skeletal muscles is inactivated under the effects of trypsin and during gel-filtration is eluted together with the Ca2+-dependent regulator from the heart. The amount of Ca2+-dependent regulator in skeletal muscles is 30 times as low as that in brain and 3 times as low as that in the heart of the rabbit. 相似文献

To clarify the molecular organization of NADH- and NADPH-dependent microsomal redox systems their isolated purified carriers were incorporated into immobilized azolectin layer with a higher viscosity than that of the liposomes. It was shown that the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity characterizing the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and cytochrome b5 interaction sharply decreased in the immobilized system as compared to that in solution. However, the activity of hydroxylase reactions catalyzed by immobilized NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and cytochrome P-450 was the same as in solution. This, the reconstitution in the immobilized phospholipid layer allowed to characterize NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase as a system operating on occasional collisions of its components. On the contrary, the diffusion of the NADPH-dependent redox chain carriers was not the rate-limiting step of the reaction. 相似文献
