Associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and prealbumin with coronary vessels stenosis determined by coronary angiography and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction

BackgroundTo explore the associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and prealbumin (PAB) with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction (MI).MethodsA total of 39 MI patients treated in the Cardiology were selected as the observation group, and another 41 patients with normal results of coronary angiography during the same period were selected as the control group. The general data of patients were recorded in detail, the content of serum hs-CRP and PAB in the peripheral blood was detected, and the number of diseased coronary vessels and the degree of stenosis were detected via coronary angiography.ResultsCompared with those in control group, the blood pressure and heart rate significantly rose, the content of indexes related to the severity of MI were significantly increased, the content of hs-CRP was significantly increased, and the content of PAB was significantly decreased in observation group. Hs-CRP was positively correlated with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients, but PAB was negatively correlated with the above factors. The survival rate of MI patients with high content of hs-CRP was obviously lower than that of patients with low content of hsCRPConclusionsSerum hs-CRP and PAB are closely associated with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in MI patients.

人参总皂甙对海马神经元核仁组织者区和苔藓纤维末梢发芽的影响

本文研究人参总皂甙在海马齿状回颗粒细胞层诱发ＬＴＰ效应和促进大鼠记忆保持能力时,对海马神经元核仁组织者区和苔藓纤维末梢出芽的影响。给人参总皂甙第７天可显著提高群峰电位（ＰＳ）幅度,缩短ＰＳ起始和峰潜伏期,并可显著提高大鼠记忆保持能力。此时人参总皂甙可使海马ＣＡ３区锥体细胞和齿状回颗粒细胞Ａｇ－ＮＯＲ数较盐水组大鼠的平均提高６６．１７±２．３２％和７２．０７±０．９３％（Ｐ＜０．０１）;同时还可使大鼠的海马苔藓纤维末梢出芽级分平均较生理盐水组大鼠的平均堤高１－３倍（Ｐ＜０．０１）。提示人参总皂甙可提高神经元内ｒＤＮＡ的转录活性促进蛋白质合成,同时还可促进海马苔藓纤维末梢出芽以提高海马突触的传递功效。     

Crystallization of the first three domains of the human insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor.

The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is a tyrosine kinase receptor of central importance in cell proliferation. A fragment (residues 1-462) comprising the L1-cysteine rich-L2 domains of the human IGF-1R ectodomain has been overexpressed in glycosylation-deficient Lec8 cells and has been affinity-purified via a c-myc tag followed by gel filtration. The fragment was recognized by two anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibodies, 24-31 and 24-60, but showed no detectable binding of IGF-1 or IGF-2. Isocratic elution of IGF-1R/462 on anion-exchange chromatography reduced sample heterogeneity, permitting the production of crystals that diffracted to 2.6 A resolution with cell dimensions a = 77.0 A, b = 99.5 A, c = 120.1 A, and space group P2(1)2(1)2(1).     

铜锌超氧物歧化酶与过氧化氢反应中羟自由基的形成

应用脱氧核糖降解法研究了离体条件下Cu,Zn-SOD与H2O2反应产生·OH,并对其机理进行了探讨。H2O2可使Cu,Zn-SOD失活,在失活过程中有·OH产生,甲酸钠和苯甲酸钠均能不同程度地保护Cu,Zn-SOD和降低H2O2与Cu,Zn-SOD反应中·OH的产额;热失活SOD也可和H2O2反应生成·OH,且效能高于活性Cu,Zn-SOD;用螫合剂脱去Cu,Zn-SOD的金属辅基后,脱辅基的SOD蛋白不能和H2O2反应产生·OH;Cu2＋和H2O2反应产生·OH的效率很高,而Zn2＋产生·OH的效率很低。实验结果提示Cu,Zn－SOD与H2O2反应产生的·OH可能是SOD活性中心的Cu2＋与H2O2发生Fenton反应的结果．

镉对小鼠精子和生精细胞超微结构及生精细胞bcl-2、bax基因表达的影响

研究镉暴露对小鼠附睾精子和睾丸生精细胞超微结构的变化以及镉对生精细胞凋亡相关基因bcl-2、bax表达水平的影响。采用24只雄性ICR小鼠随机分为4组,每组6只,分别以0.183、0.915、1.83mg/kg氯化镉腹腔注射,每天1次,连续5次,设阴性对照生理盐水组。于第6天透射电镜观察附睾精子超微结构、睾丸生精细胞核和线粒体超微结构的变化,免疫组化方法检测生精细胞Bcl-2、Bax表达水平。透射电镜观察显示,0.183mg/kg组精子超微结构无显著性变化,0.915mg/kg组精子头部两侧膜与头部胞质间隙轻微扩大,线粒体嵴间腔扩大且轻度空泡化,但与对照组相比无统计学意义(P>0.05)。1.83mg/kg组头部两侧膜与胞质间隙扩大,与对照组相比有显著性差异(P<0.05),尾部线粒体嵴间腔扩大且轻度空泡化,与对照组相比有显著性差异(P<0.05)。3种剂量处理组睾丸生精细胞核超微结构异常发生率显著高于对照组(P<0.05),且随着处理浓度的升高异常发生率升高;1.83mg/kg组线粒体肿胀空泡化发生率显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。3种剂量实验组生精细胞Bcl-2表达水平(吸光度)显著低于对照组(P<0.01),0.915mg/kg组Bax表达水平显著高于对照组和0.183、1.83mg/kg组(P<0.01)。3种剂量实验组Bcl-2/Bax吸光度比值显著低于对照组(P<0.01);0.915mg/kg组Bcl-2/Bax比值显著低于1.83mg/kg组(P<0.01)。上述结果提示:高浓度镉诱导附睾精子超微结构改变,高中低浓度镉致睾丸生精细胞超微结构的改变,生精细胞超微结构发生凋亡现象。镉对Bcl-2、Bax表达水平的改变可能是生精细胞凋亡的分子机制之一。     

TNFAIP8 protein functions as a tumor suppressor in inflammation-associated colorectal tumorigenesis

Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8 or TIPE) is a member of the TNFAIP8 family. While TIPE was broadly considered to be pro-cancerous, its precise roles in carcinogenesis especially those of the intestinal tract are not clear. Here, we show that genetic deletion of TIPE in mice exacerbated chemical-induced colitis and colitis-associated colon cancer. Loss of TIPE exacerbated inflammatory responses and inflammation-associated dysbiosis, leading to the activation of NF-κB and STAT3, and it also accelerated dysplasia, DNA damage and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells. We further show that colon microbiota were essential for increased tumor growth and progression in Tipe^−/− mice. The tumor suppressive function of TIPE originated primarily from the non-hematopoietic compartment. Importantly, TIPE was downregulated in human colorectal cancers, and patients with low levels of Tipe mRNA were associated with reduced survival. These results indicate that TIPE serves as an important modulator of colitis and colitis-associated colon cancer.Subject terms: Cancer microenvironment, Chronic inflammation
