免疫预防阻断乙型肝炎病毒母婴传播效果的观察

阻断乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)母婴传播是控制乙型肝炎的重大问题。为探讨免疫预防对阻断HBV母婴传播的效果及影响因素,对667例HBV表面抗原(HBsAg)阳性孕妇及其婴儿进行研究。这些孕妇按HBVe抗原(HBeAg)和HBVDNA检测结果,分为HBeAg阳性组及阴性组、DNA阳性组及阴性组;按是否于孕晚期注射乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白(HBIG),分为注射组及未注射组。婴儿于出生24h内均肌内注射HBIG100IU,并按0、1、6方案注射10μg重组酵母HBV疫苗;8～12月龄后随访婴儿,并进行HBV标志物(HBV-M)检测。667个婴儿中,20例感染HBV,免疫阻断失败率为3.0%。孕妇HBeAg阳性组免疫阻断失败率为8.7%,阴性组为0.2%,两组差异显著(P<0.001);两组婴儿对疫苗免疫应答率分别为83.0%和83.1%,无显著差异(P=0.988)。孕妇DNA阳性组免疫阻断失败率为8.1%,HBVDNA均≥6log10copies/ml。孕期注射与未注射HBIG组婴儿免疫阻断失败率分别为3.7%和2.7%,无显著差异(P=0.479);两组婴儿对疫苗免疫应答率分别为84.4%和82.4%,无显著差异(P=0.519)。孕妇HBeAg阳性注射HBIG组与未注射组的免疫阻断失败率分别为8.4%和8.9%,无显著差异(P=0.892)。孕妇HBeAg阴性注射与未注射HBIG组的免疫阻断失败率分别为0.0%和0.3%,也无显著差异(P=0.538)。11例免疫阻断失败的婴儿中,10例出生时血清HBsAg已为阳性;8～12个月后随访,HBsAg仍持续阳性,提示为宫内感染。本研究证实,孕期注射HBIG未能提高婴儿对HBV疫苗加HBIG的免疫阻断效果。宫内感染可能是疫苗加HBIG免疫阻断失败的主要原因。采用降低孕妇血清HBVDNA的措施,如对孕妇进行抗HBV治疗,也许能降低HBV宫内感染率。

High cell density culture of the diatom Nitzschia laevis for eicosapentaenoic acid production: fed-batch development

A fed-batch process was developed for high cell density culture of the diatom Nitzschia laevis for enhanced production of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Firstly, among the various medium components, glucose (Glu) was identified as the limiting substrate while nitrate (NO₃⁻), tryptone (Tr) and yeast extract (Ye) were found to promote cell growth by enhancing specific growth rate. Therefore, these components were considered essential and were included in the feed medium for subsequent fed-batch cultivation. With the optimized ratio of NO₃⁻:Tr:Ye being 1:2.6:1.3 (by weight), the relative proportions of glucose to the nitrogen sources in the feed were investigated. The optimal ratios of Glu:NO₃⁻ for specific growth rate and EPA productivity were both determined to be 32:1 (by weight). Finally, based on the residual glucose concentration in the culture, a continuous medium feeding strategy for fed-batch fermenter cultivation was developed, with which, the maximal cell dry weight and EPA yield obtained were 22.1 g l⁻¹ and 695 mg l⁻¹, respectively, which were great improvements over those of batch cultures.

Effect of Nitrogen Supply on the Nitrogen Use Efficiency of an Annual Herb, Helianthus annuus L.

Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is the product of nitrogen productivity (NP) and the mean residence time of nitrogen (MRT). Theory suggests that there should be a trade-off between both components,but direct experimental evidence is still scarce. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the effect of varying nitrogen supply levels on NUEand its two components (NP, MRT) in Helianthus annuus L., an annual herb.The plants investigated were subjected to six nitrogen levels (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 g N/m2). Total plant production increased substantially with increasing nitrogen supply. Nitrogen uptake and loss also in creased with nitrogen supply. Nitrogen influx (rin) and outflux (rout) were defined as the rates of nitrogen uptake and loss per unit aboveground nitrogen, respectively. Both rin and rout increased with increasing nitrogen supply. In addition, rin was far higher than rout. Consequently, the relative rate of nitrogen incre ment (rin- rout) also increased with nitrogen supply. There were marked differences between treatments with respect to parameters related to the stress resistance syndrome: nitrogen pool size, leaf nitrogen concentration,and net aboveground productivity increased with nitrogen supply. Plants at high nitrogen levels showed a higher NP (the growth rate per unit aboveground nitrogen) and a shorter MRT (the inverse of rout), whereas plants at low nitrogen levels displayed the reverse pattern. Shorter MRT for plants at high nitrogen levels was caused by the abscission of leaves that contained relatively large fractions of total plant nitrogen. We found a negative relationship between NP and MRT, the components of NUE, along the gradient of nitrogen availability, suggesting that there was a trade-off between NP and MRT. The NUE increased with increasing nitrogen availability, up to a certain level, and then decreased. These results offer support for the hypoth esis that adaptation to infertile habitats involves a low nitrogen loss (long MRT in the plant) rather than a high NUE per se. The higher NUE at the plant level was a result, in part, of greater nitrogen resorption during senescence. We suggest that a long MRT (an index of nitrogen conservation) is a potentially successful strategy in nitrogen-poor environments.
