Relationship between topoisomerase II and radiosensitivity in mouse L5178Y lymphoma strains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of topoisomerase II inhibitors were measured in closely related strains of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells differing in their sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Strain LY-S is sensitive to ionizing radiation relative to strain LY-R and is deficient in the rejoining of DNA double-strand breaks induced by this agent, whereas 2 radiation-resistant variants of strain LY-S have regained the ability to rejoin these double-strand breaks. We have found that the sensitivity of these cells to m-AMSA, VP-16, and ellipticine is correlated to their sensitivity to ionizing radiation. However, this correlation did not extend to their sensitivities to novobiocin, camptothecin, hydrogen peroxide, methyl nitrosourea and UV radiation. Thus, there appears to be a unique correlation between sensitivity to ionizing radiation and to topoisomerase II inhibitors which stabilize the cleavable complex between the enzyme and DNA. It is possible either that (1) topoisomerase II is altered in strain LY-S and that this enzyme is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks or (2) strain LY-S is deficient in a reaction which is necessary for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks induced by ionizing radiation as well as the repair of DNA damage induced by these topoisomerase II inhibitors. m-AMSA, VP-16, and ellipticine were found to be highly mutagenic at the tk locus in L5178Y strains which are heterozygous for the tk gene but not in a tk hemizygous strain, indicating that these inhibitors induce multilocus lesions in DNA, as does ionizing radiation. The differences in the sensitivity of strains LY-R and LY-S to the topoisomerase II inhibitors were paralleled by differences in the induction of protein-associated DNA double-strand breaks in the 2 strains. This correlation did not extend to the radiation-resistant variants of strain LY-S, however. The variants showed resistance to the cytotoxic effects of the inhibitors relative to strain LY-S, but exhibited DNA double-strand break induction similar to that observed in strain LY-S. 相似文献

Background
Interruption of antithrombotic treatment before surgery may prevent bleeding, but at the price of increasing cardiovascular complications. This prospective study analysed the impact of antithrombotic therapy interruption on outcomes in non-selected surgical patients with known cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods
All 1200 consecutive patients (age 74.2 ± 10.2 years) undergoing major non-cardiac surgery (37.4 % acute, 61.4 % elective) during a period of 2.5 years while having at least one CVD were enrolled. Details on medication, bleeding, cardiovascular complications and cause of death were registered.Results
In-hospital mortality was 3.9 % (versus 0.9 % mortality among 17,740 patients without CVD). Cardiovascular complications occurred in 91 (7.6 %) patients (with 37.4 % case fatality). Perioperative bleeding occurred in 160 (13.3 %) patients and was fatal in 2 (1.2 % case fatality). Multivariate analysis revealed age, preoperative anaemia, history of chronic heart failure, acute surgery and general anaesthesia predictive of cardiovascular complications. For bleeding complications multivariate analysis found warfarin use in the last 3 days, history of hypertension and general anaesthesia as independent predictive factors. Aspirin interruption before surgery was not predictive for either cardiovascular or for bleeding complications.Conclusions
Perioperative cardiovascular complications in these high-risk elderly all-comer surgical patients with known cardiovascular disease are relatively rare, but once they occur, the case fatality is high. Perioperative bleeding complications are more frequent, but their case fatality is extremely low. Patterns of interruption of chronic aspirin therapy before major non-cardiac surgery are not predictive for perioperative complications (neither cardiovascular, nor bleeding). Simple baseline clinical factors are better predictors of outcomes than antithrombotic drug interruption patterns. 相似文献43.

Background
The exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) signal is a marker of inflammation, and can be partitioned into proximal [J''awNO (nl/s), maximum airway flux] and distal contributions [CANO (ppb), distal airway/alveolar NO concentration]. We hypothesized that J''awNO and CANO are selectively elevated in asthmatics, permitting identification of four inflammatory categories with distinct clinical features.Methods
In 200 consecutive children with asthma, and 21 non-asthmatic, non-atopic controls, we measured baseline spirometry, bronchodilator response, asthma control and morbidity, atopic status, use of inhaled corticosteroids, and eNO at multiple flows (50, 100, and 200 ml/s) in a cross-sectional study design. A trumpet-shaped axial diffusion model of NO exchange was used to characterize J''awNO and CANO.Results
J''awNO was not correlated with CANO, and thus asthmatic subjects were grouped into four eNO categories based on upper limit thresholds of non-asthmatics for J''awNO (≥ 1.5 nl/s) and CANO (≥ 2.3 ppb): Type I (normal J''awNO and CANO), Type II (elevated J''awNO and normal CANO), Type III (elevated J''awNO and CANO) and Type IV (normal J''awNO and elevated CANO). The rate of inhaled corticosteroid use (lowest in Type III) and atopy (highest in Type II) varied significantly amongst the categories influencing J''awNO, but was not related to CANO, asthma control or morbidity. All categories demonstrated normal to near-normal baseline spirometry; however, only eNO categories with increased CANO (III and IV) had significantly worse asthma control and morbidity when compared to categories I and II.Conclusions
J''awNO and CANO reveal inflammatory categories in children with asthma that have distinct clinical features including sensitivity to inhaled corticosteroids and atopy. Only categories with increase CANO were related to poor asthma control and morbidity independent of baseline spirometry, bronchodilator response, atopic status, or use of inhaled corticosteroids. 相似文献44.

Personnel in medical, veterinary or research laboratories may be exposed to a wide variety of pathogens that range from deadly to debilitating. For some of these pathogens, no treatment is available, and in other cases the treatment does not fully control the disease. It is important that personnel in laboratories that process human or microbiological specimens follow universal precautions when handling tissues, cells, or microbiological specimens owing to the increasing numbers of individuals infected with hepatitis C and HIV in the US and the possibility that an individual may be asymptomatic when a specimen is obtained. Similar precautions must be followed in laboratories that use animal tissues owing to the possibility of exposure to agents that are pathogenic in humans. Personnel with conditions associated with immunosuppression should evaluate carefully whether or not specific laboratory environments put them at increased risk of disease. We offer here some general approaches to identifying biohazards and to minimizing the potential risk of exposure. The issues discussed can be used to develop a general safety program as required by regulatory or accrediting agencies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 相似文献
