Development of mechanistically based model for simulating soluble microbial products generation in an aerated/non-aerated SBR

Soluble microbial products (SMPs) are considered as the main organic components in wastewater treatment plant effluent from biological wastewater treatment systems. To investigate and explore SMP metabolism pathway for further treatment and control, two innovative mechanistically based activated sludge models were developed by extension of activated sludge model no.3 (ASM3). One was the model by combining SMP formation and degradation (ASM3-SMP model) processes with ASM3, and the other by combining both SMP and simultaneous substrate storage and growth (SSSG) mechanisms with ASM3 (SSSG-ASM3-SMP model). The detailed schematic modification and process supplements were introduced for comprehensively understanding all the mechanisms involved in the activated sludge process. The evaluations of these two models were demonstrated by a laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) operated under aerated/non-aerated conditions. The simulated and measured results indicated that SMP comprised about 83% of total soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) in which biomass-associated products (BAPs) were predominant compared with utilization-associated products (UAPs). It also elucidated that there should be a minimum SMP value as the reactive time increases continuously and this conclusion could be used to optimize effluent SCOD in activated sludge processes. The comparative results among ASM3, ASM3-SMP and SSSG-ASM3-SMP models and the experimental measurements (SCOD, ammonia and nitrate nitrogen) showed clearly the best agreement with SSSG-ASM3-SMP simulation values (R = 0.993), strongly suggesting that both SMP formation and degradation and SSSG mechanisms are necessary in biologically activated sludge modeling for municipal wastewater treatment.

Human umbilical cord-derived MSC culture: the replacement of animal sera with human cord blood plasma

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) hold great potential for their therapeutic use in various clinical diseases. Many publications have reported on human blood-derived alternatives to animal serum for culturing mesenchymal stem cells, such as human serum, allogenic umbilical cord blood serum, and human platelet derivatives. However, it is not clear whether human umbilical cord blood plasma (UCBP), as the surplusage of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell extraction, could be used. In this study, in order to make the best of umbilical cord blood, the human UCBP was dialyzed to replace fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the culture medium. hUC-MSCs were cultured in the new medium. Cell growth rate, specific biomarkers, and differentiation properties were detected to characterize the cell proliferation and MSC-specific properties. The hUC-MSCs cultured in such derived medium were verified with proliferation rate, cluster differentiation markers, cell cycle, as well as differentiation capabilities. Such dialyzed human UCBP is fully comparable with, if not superior to, FBS in deriving and culturing hUC-MSCs.     

胃伤害性刺激诱导大鼠脑干星形胶质细胞GFAP蛋白表达及其与神经元的关系

研究大鼠在福尔马林诱发胃伤害性刺激时脑干内星形胶质细胞及神经元的变化。应用免疫组织化学三重标记法在脑原位切片同时显示脑干内Fos蛋白,胶质原纤维酸性蛋白（GFAP）,酪氨酸羟化酶（TH）的表达,结果显示：1、在福尔马林诱发胃伤害性刺激后,脑干胶质细胞GFAP表达阳性,并表现出明显的核团或亚核定位特点,在延髓内脏带（MVZ0,中缝大核（RMg),蓝斑（LC）,臂旁外侧核（LPB）,中缝背核（DR）,中脑导水管周围灰质腹外侧区（vlPAG),上丘中灰层（IngSC)等脑区有较多的Fos阳性细胞,而且Fos阳性表达的分布与上述GFAP阳性分布基本一致;2、MVZ,LC,DR,vlPAG等部位有大量Fos及TH双标阳性神经元,周围有密集的GFAP阳性细胞;3、随着刺激后存活时间的变化,GFAP与Fos阳性细胞的反应均经历逐渐升高后又渐降低直至消失的变化。结果表明：上述核团的神经元和星形胶质细胞可能同时参与了内脏痛及其调节过程。     

结核分枝杆菌吡嗪酰胺耐药性检测方法的研究进展

吡嗪酰胺(pyrazinamide,PZA)是重要的一线抗结核药物,与异烟肼、利福平和乙胺丁醇构成治疗方案的核心。因其疗效较好,被广泛应用于结核病的治疗过程。然而,近年来随着耐多药结核病的出现,PZA耐药导致部分患者治疗失败,因此常规开展PZA药物敏感性试验对于减少耐药性的发生显得极为重要。由于PZA在酸性条件下才能发挥作用,而结核分枝杆菌在酸性环境下生长不良,故PZA耐药性检测一直是临床中的难题。本文结合国内外最新研究进展,就结核分枝杆菌PZA耐药性检测方法的研究进行阐述,期望能为更有效地诊治结核病提供新思路。

The murine pan T cell marker CD96 is an adhesion receptor for CD155 and nectin-1

The CD155 ligand CD96 is an immunoglobulin-like protein tentatively allocated to the repertoire of human NK receptors. We report here that the CD96/CD155-interaction is preserved between man and mouse although both receptors are only moderately conserved in amino acid sequence. Moreover, murine CD96 (mCD96) binds to nectin-1, a receptor related to CD155. Applying newly generated monoclonal antibodies specifically recognizing mCD96, an expression profile is revealed resembling closely that of human CD96 (hCD96) on cells of hematopoietic origin. A panel of anti-mCD96 but also recently established anti-mCD155 antibodies effectively prevents formation of CD96/CD155-complexes. This was exploited to demonstrate that the only available receptor for mCD96 present on thymocytes is mCD155. Moreover, T cell adhesion to insect cells expressing mCD155 is blocked by these antibodies depending on the T cell subtype. These results suggest a function of the CD96/CD155-adhesion system in T cell biology.     

Screening for a Potent Antibacterial Peptide to Treat Mupirocin-Resistant MRSA Skin Infections

Mupirocin is the first-line topical antibacterial drug for treating skin infections caused primarily by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Its widespread use since its introduction more than 30 years ago has resulted in the global emergence of mupirocin-resistant strains of MRSA. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising class of antibacterial compounds that can potentially be developed to replace mupirocin due to their rapid membrane-targeting bactericidal mode of action and predicted low propensity for resistance development. Herein, we conducted and compared the antibacterial activities of 61 AMPs between 3 and 11 residues in length reported in the literature over the past decade against mupirocin-resistant MRSA. The most potent AMP, 11-residue peptide 50, was selected and tested against a panel of clinical isolates followed by a time-kill and a human dermal keratinocyte cytotoxicity assay. Lastly, peptide 50 was formulated into a topical spray which showed strong in vitro bactericidal effects against mupirocin-resistant MRSA. Our results strongly suggest that peptide 50 has the potential to be further developed into a new class of topical antibacterial agent for treating drug-resistant MRSA skin infections.
