奶山羊转基因供核细胞的再饥饿对核移植胚胎发育的影响

为提高转基因奶山羊体细胞核移植胚胎早期发育率,将经转染外源基因的山羊胎儿成纤维细胞经饥饿培养(含0.5?S的DMEM)5天后分成两部分:第一部分细胞-80℃或液氮冻存,试验前复苏后直接用作供核细胞(试验组Ⅰ),或复苏后恢复培养(含10% FCS的DMEM)2-5天后再饥饿5天用作供核细胞(试验组Ⅱ);第二部分细胞作传代培养(含10% FCS的DMEM)2天后再饥饿5 天用作供核细胞(试验组Ⅲ)。将上述不同处理的供核细胞进行细胞周期与存活率的检测,并将该供核细胞移入去除遗传物质的山羊MⅡ期卵母细胞的卵周隙内,经电融合、化学激活后,将核移植(NT)胚胎经0.8%琼脂糖包理后移入临时寄母输卵管内,培养6天后回收并观察NT胚胎的早期发育。结果,试验组Ⅱ所用供核细胞中G_0/G_1期细胞所占比例及其存活率分别为95.68%、99.9%,均显著地高于试验组Ⅰ(88.66%、80%);试验组Ⅱ的桑椹及囊胚期NT胚胎的发育率(66.09%)显著地高于试验组Ⅰ(22.00%)与试验组Ⅲ(50.51%)。将以上发育的NT胚胎分别移入同步发情的受体后,35 天作B超妊娠诊断,试验组Ⅱ的受体妊娠率为45.83%,显著地高于试验组Ⅰ(20.00%)与试验组Ⅲ(9.58%)。流式细胞仪分析结果表明,饥饿后的供核细胞经冷冻,复苏后恢复培养2-5天,再经饥饿处理,能显著地提高G_0/G_1期细胞的比例及细胞存活率;应用该细胞所组建的NT胚不仅具有较高的桑椹与囊胚期发育率,而且具有较高的受体妊娠率。     

口腔内金属材料对磁共振检查的影响

检测口腔内常用金属材料在磁共振检查时是否有伪影和伪影的严重程度。对２１种口腔内常用金属材料做了磁共振成像测试,磁共振仪磁场强度为１．５Ｔ,所用序列是梯度回波。铸金片、银汞合金、银尖等９种材料无伪影;钛合金和金属烤瓷成品有轻度伪影;牙用固位钉、椿钉等１０种材料有严重伪影。部分口腔内金属材料会引起严重伪影,影响图象质量,所以在做口腔颌面部和服部磁共振成像时,须引起重视。     

Application of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to laboratory surveillance of small community outbreaks of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

Infectious diarrhea syndrome is an important cause of human morbidity around the world, and Salmonella genus remains one of the most prevalent etiology. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium outbreak-associated isolates received by the Laboratory for Enteric Pathogens from N.I.R.D.M.I. "Cantacuzino" for confirmation and typing were analyzed by genomic pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and phage susceptibility testing to establish their relatedness. Both typing methods proved to have similar discriminatory power. The isolates originating from the same outbreak belonged to the same phage type and showed indistinguishable PFGE profiles. The molecular characterization of autochthonal Salmonella enterica Typhimurium outbreak human isolates provided laboratory evidence that epidemiologically related isolates collected from community outbreaks of disease were also genetically related. In order to improve the national and international surveillance of major foodborne pathogens the reference laboratory centers are required to establish and maintain the capacity to perform a wide range of both phenotypic and genotypic methods to support outbreak investigations.     

转录因子C/EBPβ的翻译后修饰

CCAAT增强子结合蛋白β(CCAAT enhancer-binding proteinβ,C/EBPβ)是转录因子C/EBP家族的重要成员。它通过对靶基因转录的调节,参与细胞增殖与分化、肿瘤发生与凋亡、细胞周期调控等重要生命活动,同时这些功能受到磷酸化、乙酰化、泛素化等多种翻译后修饰的调控。本文综述近年来有关C/EBPβ的翻译后修饰的研究进展。这些研究不仅为人们认识C/EBPβ的调控机制提供了一个新的角度,同时也可能为肥胖及相关代谢疾病的发生和治疗提供新的理解。

The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Variously substituted indolin-2-ones were synthesized and evaluated for activity against KDR, Flt-1, FGFR-1 and PDGFR. Extension at the 5-position of the oxindole ring with ethyl piperidine (compound 7i) proved to be the most beneficial for attaining both biochemical and cellular potencies. Further optimization of 7i to balance biochemical and cellular potencies with favorable ADME/ PK properties led to the identification of 8h, a compound with a clean CYP profile, acceptable pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles, and robust efficacy in multiple xenograft tumor models.     

Low concentration structural dynamics of lanreotide and somatostatin‐14

Lanreotide, a synthetic cyclic octapeptide, analogue of the peptide hormone somatostatin‐14 (SST‐14), is routinely used as a long‐acting medication in the management of neuroendocrine tumors. Despite its therapeutic importance, low concentration structural data is still lacking for lanreotide. In fact, the major part of the previous structural investigations were focused on the remarkable aggregation properties of this peptide, appearing at high concentrations (>5 mM). Here, we have applied three optical spectroscopic techniques, i.e. fluorescence, circular dichroism and Raman scattering, for analyzing the structural dynamics at the concentrations below 5 mM, where lanreotide exists either in a monomer state or at the first stages of aggregation. The obtained data from lanreotide were discussed through their comparison with those collected from SST‐14, leading us to the following conclusions: (i) The central D‐Trp residue, forming with its adjacent Lys the main receptor interacting part of lanreotide, keeps a constant high rotational freedom whatever the environment (water, water/methanol, methanol). (ii) A solvent‐dependent tight β‐turn, belonging to the type‐II' family, is revealed in lanreotide. (iii) Raman data analyzed by band decomposition in the amide (I and III) regions allowed estimation of different secondary structural elements within the millimolar range. Interestingly, the applied protocol shows a perfect agreement between the structural features provided by the amide I and amide III Raman markers. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

创伤癒合和组织再生的研究Ⅲ.横纹肌纤维的再生方式

1.我们在大白鼠股大肌的扇状部分,以切割的方法,分别观察了切割后肌纤维短断片和长断片的再生过程。2.短纤维断片内的收缩物质,进行 Zenker 氏的透明退化,经吞噬作用而全部清除消失。在收缩物质进行退化时,在原来的肌鞘管内出现了梭形的成肌细胞。经过有丝分裂的繁殖后,由单个的成肌细胞逐步的合并成为肌小管——幼稚肌纤维。每一肌鞘管内,只合并形成单一的肌小管。肌小管的两端,即原来被切割的地方,常有分叉生长。从切割时起,到第四天,可以发现肌小管的形成,到第六天,可以发见横纹的分化,成为幼小的肌纤维,以后的生长发育非常缓慢,要到6个月以后,纔能到达正常肌纤维的大小。3.在长纤维断片内,也同样进行着在短纤维断片内所有的一切过程。即在肌纤维近切割部分的收缩物质,因受切割的强烈影响而同样进行透明退化,为吞噬作用所清除。并同样在肌鞘管内出现成肌细胞,经过繁殖和合并而成肌小管,也有向切割缺口处分叉生长。以后继续生长发育形成新的肌纤维(和原来老的肌纤维相连)。4.在长纤维断片内,从进行短断片内所有过程的这一部分,到完好肌纤维部分,其间存在着一个过渡区域,即肌纤维的收缩物质——肌原纤维,受到了切割的轻微影响,但又不能回复正常者。这个...
