The purpose of our study was to evaluate initial results following introduction of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Cytoreductive Surgery (CS). Twenty two patients with intraperitoneal malignancy undergone cytoreductive surgery (CS) and hyperthermic intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) between January of 2007 and January 2010. Nine patients had adenocarcinoma of colorectal origin, 8 patients had ovarian cancer, and 5 had pseudomyxoma peritonei. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis based on intraoperative assessment during first operative procedure for intraabdominal malignancy or follow-up diagnostic imaging proof Excluded were patients with known malignant proliferation outside abdomen, liver metastasis and ASA score 4 and higher. All patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei diagnosis are alive, with mean follow-up time 24.8 months (range 15-35). In group of patients with adenocarcinoma from colorectal origin, 3 died, resulting in mean survival time 7.6 months (range 1-16). In group of patients with ovarian cancer, 2 died, resulting in mean survival time 13.8 months (range 0-31). Two patients died in early postoperative period. Most of the patients had some sort of mental disorder. Although HIPEC with CS improves survival, during introduction period higher morbidity and mortality could be expected. 相似文献

Psychological stress affects different physiological processes including haematopoiesis. However, erythropoietic effects of chronic psychological stress remain largely unknown. The adult spleen contains a distinct microenvironment favourable for rapid expansion of erythroid progenitors in response to stressful stimuli, and emerging evidence suggests that inappropriate activation of stress erythropoiesis may predispose to leukaemic transformation. We used a mouse model to study the influence of chronic psychological stress on erythropoiesis in the spleen and to investigate potential mediators of observed effects. Adult mice were subjected to 2 hrs daily restraint stress for 7 or 14 consecutive days. Our results showed that chronic exposure to restraint stress decreased the concentration of haemoglobin in the blood, elevated circulating levels of erythropoietin and corticosterone, and resulted in markedly increased number of erythroid progenitors and precursors in the spleen. Western blot analysis revealed significantly decreased expression of both erythropoietin receptor and glucocorticoid receptor in the spleen of restrained mice. Furthermore, chronic stress enhanced the expression of stem cell factor receptor in the red pulp. Moreover, chronically stressed animals exhibited significantly increased expression of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) in the red pulp as well as substantially enhanced mRNA expression levels of its receptors in the spleen. These findings demonstrate for the first time that chronic psychological stress activates BMP4‐dependent extramedullary erythropoiesis and leads to the prolonged activation of stress erythropoiesis pathways. Prolonged activation of these pathways along with an excessive production of immature erythroid cells may predispose chronically stressed subjects to a higher risk of leukaemic transformation. 相似文献

Examination of three scallop species from three separate locations: Iceland scallop from Icelandic waters, king scallop from Scottish waters and queen scallop from Faroese and Scottish waters, revealed infections of a previously unknown apicomplexan parasite in all three scallop species. Developmental forms observed in the shells appeared to include both sexual and asexual stages of the parasite, i.e. merogony, gametogony and sporogony, which suggests a monoxenous life cycle. Meronts, gamonts, zygotes and mature oocysts were solely found in the muscular tissue. Zoites, which could be sporozoites and/or merozoites, were observed in great numbers, most frequently in muscles, both intracellular and free in the extracellular space. Zoites were also common inside haemocytes. Examination of the ultrastructure showed that the zoites contained all the major structures characterizing apicomplexans. This apicomplexan parasite is morphologically different from other apicomplexan species previously described from bivalves. Presently, its systematic position within the phylum Apicomplexa cannot be ascertained. 相似文献

Microbacterium aurum strain B8.A was isolated from the sludge of a potato starch-processing factory on the basis of its ability to use granular
starch as carbon- and energy source. Extracellular enzymes hydrolyzing granular starch were detected in the growth medium
of M. aurum B8.A, while the type strain M. aurum DSMZ 8600 produced very little amylase activity, and hence was unable to degrade granular starch. The strain B8.A extracellular
enzyme fraction degraded wheat, tapioca and potato starch at 37 °C, well below the gelatinization temperature of these starches.
Starch granules of potato were hydrolyzed more slowly than of wheat and tapioca, probably due to structural differences and/or
surface area effects. Partial hydrolysis of starch granules by extracellular enzymes of strain B8.A resulted in large holes
of irregular sizes in case of wheat and tapioca and many smaller pores of relatively homogeneous size in case of potato. The
strain B8.A extracellular amylolytic system produced mainly maltotriose and maltose from both granular and soluble starch
substrates; also, larger maltooligosaccharides were formed after growth of strain B8.A in rich medium. Zymogram analysis confirmed
that a different set of amylolytic enzymes was present depending on the growth conditions of M. aurum B8.A. Some of these enzymes could be partly purified by binding to starch granules. 相似文献

Aim: To elucidate the possible mechanism of phytoplasma elimination from periwinkle shoots caused by indole‐3‐butyric acid (IBA) treatment. Methods and Results: It has been shown that a transfer of in vitro‐grown phytoplasma‐infected Catharanthus roseus (periwinkle) plantlets from medium supplemented with 6‐benzylaminopurine (BA) to one supplemented with IBA can induce remission of symptoms and even permanent elimination of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ reference strain HYDB. Endogenous auxin levels and general methylation levels in noninfected periwinkles, periwinkles infected with two ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ species and phytoplasma‐recovered periwinkles were measured and compared. After the transfer from cytokinin‐ to auxin‐containing media, healthy shoots maintained their phenotype, methylation levels and hormone concentrations. Phytoplasma infection caused a change in the endogenous indole‐3‐acetic acid to IBA ratio in periwinkle shoots infected with two ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ species, but general methylation was significantly changed only in shoots infected with ‘Ca. P. asteris’, which resulted in the only phytoplasma species eliminated from shoots after transfer to IBA‐containing medium. Both phytoplasma infection and treatment with plant growth regulators influenced callose deposition in phloem tissue, concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and soluble proteins, H2O2 levels and activities of catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Conclusion: Lower level of host genome methylation in ‘Ca. P. asteris’‐infected periwinkles on medium supplemented with BA was significantly elevated after IBA treatment, while IBA treatment had no effect on cytosine methylation in periwinkles infected with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi’ strain EY‐C. Significance and Impact of the Study: Hormone‐dependent recovery is a distinct phenomenon from natural recovery. As opposed to spontaneously recovered plants in which elevated peroxide levels and differential expression of peroxide‐related enzymes were observed, in hormone‐dependent recovery changes in global host genome, methylation coincide with the presence/absence of phytoplasma. 相似文献

Two long-standing questions about glucansucrases (EC 2.4.1.5) are how they control oligosaccharide versus polysaccharide synthesis and how they direct their glycosidic linkage specificity. This information is required for the production of tailor-made saccharides. Mutagenesis promises to be an effective tool for enzyme engineering approaches for altering the regioselectivity and acceptor substrate specificity. Therefore, we chose the most conserved motif around the transition state stabilizer in glucansucrases for a random mutagenesis of the glucansucrase GTFR of Streptococcus oralis, yielding different variants with altered reaction specificity. Modifications at position S628 achieved by saturation mutagenesis guided the reaction toward the synthesis of short chain oligosaccharides with a drastically increased yield of isomaltose (47%) or leucrose (64%). Alternatively, GTFR variant R624G/V630I/D717A exhibited a drastic switch in regioselectivity from a dextran type with mainly alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages to a mutan type polymer with predominantly alpha-1,3-glucosidic linkages. Targeted modifications demonstrated that both mutations near the transition state stabilizer, R624G and V630I, are contributing to this alteration. It is thus shown that mutagenesis can guide the transglycosylation reaction of glucansucrase enzymes toward the synthesis of (a) various short chain oligosaccharides or (b) novel polymers with completely altered linkages, without compromising their high transglycosylation activity and efficiency. 相似文献

The neutral exopolysaccharide EPS180 produced from sucrose by the glucansucrase GTF180 enzyme from Lactobacillus reuteri 180 was found to be a (1-->3,1-->6)-alpha-D-glucan, with no repeating units present. Based on linkage analysis, periodate oxidation, and 1D/2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy of the intact EPS180, as well as MS and NMR analysis of oligosaccharides obtained by partial acid hydrolysis of EPS180, a composite model, that includes all identified structural features, was formulated as follows: [Formula: see text]. 相似文献

Aqueous decanoic acid/sodium decanaote systems were studied as a function of pH and concentration, up to 0.3 M decanoic acid/sodium decanoate, by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using three different amphiphilic spin labels. The distribution of the spin labels between vesicles and micelles as well as their dynamic properties were determined by quantitative analysis of the ESR spectra using two novel simulation software packages. Rotational correlation time of the labels in micelles was found to increase with decreasing pH, with substantial increase in the region where vesicles were formed (7.8相似文献

Wrnip1 (Werner helicase-interacting protein 1) has been implicated in the bypass of stalled replication forks in bakers' yeast. However, the function(s) of human Wrnip1 has remained elusive so far. Here we report that Wrnip1 is distributed inside heterogeneous structures detectable in nondamaged cells throughout the cell cycle. In an attempt to characterize these structures, we found that Wrnip1 resides in DNA replication factories. Upon treatments that stall replication forks, such as UVC light, the amount of chromatin-bound Wrnip1 and the number of foci significantly increase, further implicating Wrnip1 in DNA replication. Interestingly, the nuclear pattern of Wrnip1 appears to extend to a broader landscape, as it can be detected in promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies. The presence of Wrnip1 into these heterogeneous subnuclear structures requires its ubiquitin-binding zinc finger (UBZ) domain, which is able to interact with different ubiquitin (Ub) signals, including mono-Ub and chains linked via lysine 48 and 63. Moreover, the oligomerization of Wrnip1 mediated by its C terminus is also important for proper subnuclear localization. Our study is the first to reveal the composite and regulated topography of Wrnip1 in the human nucleus, highlighting its potential role in replication and other nuclear transactions. 相似文献
