肥大细胞及类胰蛋白酶在人甲状腺肿瘤组织中的表达 及其与微血管密度的关系

目的:探讨肥大细胞(mast cell,MC)及类胰蛋白酶(tryptase)与甲状腺肿瘤微血管密度(microvessel density,MVD)的相关性及其对甲状腺癌发生发展的影响。方法:采用甲苯胺蓝组织化学染色和PV免疫组织化学染色对116例甲状腺癌、56例甲状腺腺瘤和10例正常甲状腺组织中MC和tryptase及其CD31的表达进行了检测;对MC和tryptase与MVD的关系进行了统计学分析。结果:甲状腺肿瘤中MC的数量和tryptase阳性表达高于正常甲状腺,而且与肿瘤的类型有关(P<0.01);Spearman等级相关分析显示各组甲状腺组织MC数量和tryptase表达与MVD呈正相关(r=0.900,r=0.636,P<0.05)。结论:MC及其分泌的tryptase有促进血管新生的作用,因而可促进甲状腺肿瘤的浸润和转移。     

Negative Interference by Rheumatoid Factor of Plasma B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassays

Background

The chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) is widely used for the quantitative determination of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in human ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid plasma. Rheumatoid factor (RF) is usually thought to result in a positive interference in immunoassays, but it is not clear whether its presence in plasma can lead to interferences in the CMIA of BNP.

Methods

The estimation of BNP recovery was carried out by diluting high-concentration BNP samples with RF-positive or RF-negative plasma at a ratio of 1∶9. The diluted samples were then tested using the ARCHITECT i2000 System and ARCHITECT BNP Reagent Kits and the recovery was then calculated.

Results

When the RF level ranged from 48 to 1420 IU/mL, the average recovery of BNP was 79.29% and 91.61% in the RF-positive and RF-negative plasma samples, respectively, and was thus significantly lower in the group of RF-positive plasma samples than in the group of RF-negative plasma samples. At a dilution of 1∶16, the measured BNP level increased by >36% in six of the seven RF-positive plasma samples. The recovery of BNP increased significantly in the RF-positive plasma samples after pretreatment with IgG-sensitive latex particles. In addition, The BNP recovery was not significantly related to the plasma RF at concentrations ranging from 48 to 2720 IU/mL.

Conclusions

Measurement of BNP by CMIA is susceptible to interference from RF leading to predominantly (but not exclusively) lower results. Pretreatment of samples with blocking reagents is advisable prior to the initiation of denying patient''s necessary treatment.     

Dynamic 1H NMR-based extracellular metabonomic analysis of oligodendroglia cells infected with herpes simplex virus type 1

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a large, neurotropic, double-stranded DNA virus that establishes a lifelong latent infection in neurons and glial cells. Previous studies reveal that several metabolic perturbations are associated with HSV-1 infection. However, the extracellular metabolic alterations associated with HSV-1 infection have not been systematically profiled in human cells. Here, a proton nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabonomic approach was applied to differentiate the extracellular metabonomic profiles of HSV-1 infected human oligodendroglia cells (n = 18) and matched control cells (n = 18) at three time points (12, 24, and 36 h post-infection). Resulting spectra were analyzed by chemometric and statistical methods. Metabonomic profiling revealed perturbations in 21 extracellular metabolites. Partial least squares discriminant analysis demonstrated that the whole metabolic patterns enabled statistical discrimination between HSV-1 infected human oligodendroglia cells and control cells. Eight extracellular metabolites, seven of which were amino acids, were primarily responsible for score plot discrimination between HSV-1 infected human oligodendroglia cells and control cells at 36 h post-infection: alanine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, glutamate, glutamine, histidine, and lactate. HSV-1 infection alters amino acid metabolism in human oligodendroglia cells cultured in vitro. HSV-1 infection may disturb these host cellular pathways to support viral replication. Through elucidating the extracellular metabolic changes incident to HSV-1 infection, this study also provides future directions for investigation into the pathogenic mechanism of HSV-1.
