目的探讨酪酸梭菌活菌散联合葡萄糖酸锌治疗儿童急性腹泻的疗效。方法选取急性腹泻患儿76例,随机分为观察组和对照组各38例。两组患儿均予以调整饮食、口服或静脉补液和纠正水电解质酸碱失衡紊乱等常规治疗。观察组患儿予以酪酸梭菌活菌散和葡萄糖酸锌联合治疗,对照组患儿予以单纯酪酸梭菌活菌散治疗。观察两组患儿治疗后主要症状和体征改善的时间,并比较其临床疗效及治疗后3个月内腹泻的复发率。结果观察组患儿治疗后的止泻、呕吐、腹痛和粪常规等恢复正常时间均明显短于对照组（P〈0.05）;同时治疗3 d后,观察组患儿临床总有效率为94.74%,明显高于对照组的78.95%（χ2=4.15,P〈0.05）。两组患儿治疗后随访3个月,其中观察组和对照组分别腹泻复发5例（13.16%）和13例（34.21%）,观察组腹泻的复发率明显低于对照组（χ2=4.66,P〈0.05）。结论酪酸梭菌活菌散联合葡萄糖酸锌治疗儿童急性腹泻的疗效较肯定,能明显改善患儿腹泻症状,缩短腹泻病程,并能减少腹泻的复发。     

Acute phase response to recombinant interleukin-6 and macrophage- and fibroblast-derived crude cytokine preparations in primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes

A number of acute phase proteins were determined by electroimmunoassay in media from CBA mouse hepatocytes cultured for 2 days with human recombinant IFN beta 2/IL-6, as well as with conditioned media from LPS-stimulated rat macrophages, and of murine L fibroblasts. It was found that human recombinant IL-6 caused three-fold increase in secretion of fibrinogen, while haptoglobin, complement C3 and transferrin were increased respectively, to 168 per cent, 151 per cent, and 145 per cent of the control. DEX(10(-7) M) in DMEM supplemented with 5 per cent FCS, enhanced the IL-6 effect on the three positive acute phase proteins. IL-6 elevated haptoglobin mRNA in mouse hepatocytes to a degree comparable with the concentration of the protein in the culture medium. The effect of conditioned media from murine fibroblasts and peritoneal rat macrophages was generally similar to that of recombinant IL-6. However, both natural preparations of the cytokines caused decrease in albumin and alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor secretion.     

颈动脉斑块LRNC特征可诊断2型糖尿病患者急性脑梗死的风险

2型糖尿病可能加重颈动脉斑块的易损性并增加缺血性中风的风险,关于2型糖尿病患者伴有颈动脉斑块特征的急性中风亚型鲜有研究报道。本研究旨在探讨2型糖尿病患者颈动脉斑块特征与MRI确定的急性脑梗死病变特征之间的关系。本研究以颈内动脉区急性脑血管病患者为研究对象,所有患者分为2型糖尿病组和非2型糖尿病组,分别行颈动脉和脑部MRI扫描,测定同侧颈动脉斑块的形态和特征,以及颅内和颅外颈动脉狭窄。基于中风亚型和急性脑梗塞病变模式对患者进行评估。研究结果表明,与非2型糖尿病患者相比,2型糖尿病患者颈动脉型IV-VI病变的患病率更高,斑块负荷更大,以及富脂质坏死核(LRNC)更大。在有症状的颈动脉LRNC患者中,与非2型糖尿病组相比,2型糖尿病组颈内动脉区出现较多的伴有大穿孔动脉梗塞形态和较大的急性脑梗塞。LRNC%>23.5%的颈动脉斑块是2型糖尿病患者存在颈动脉狭窄的急性脑梗塞病变的独立危险因素。颈动脉斑块特征的量化,尤其是MRI诊断的富脂质坏死核对中风风险具有潜在应用价值。     

Serological differentiation of acute and chronic schistosomiasis using Schistosoma mansoni recombinant protein RP26

We obtained a recombinant protein encoded by Schistosoma mansoni gene which was able to differentiate acute from chronic schistosomiasis when applied as antigen in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A cDNA clone encoding a 26 kDa recombinant protein (RP26) was selected by screening of an adult worm S. mansoni λZAP expression library with rabbit sera produced against PIII, an adult worm protein fraction already known to possess protective and immunomodulating effects. The clone cDNA presented 99% identity with S. mansoni Sm22.3 gene. We assayed IgG reactivity of sera from 18 patients with acute, 25 patients with chronic S. mansoni infection and 20 uninfected donors with RP26 in ELISA. Our results showed that 89% of sera were positive in acute schistosomiasis group, and only 26% in chronic group, without false-positive reactions in uninfected group. In mice the immune response to RP26 increased up to week 9 after infection and then diminished. We proposed that production of antibodies binding to RP26 stopped at the chronic stage of disease. The testing of sera from eight other parasitic infections with RP26 revealed no positive reactions in majority of sera. However, we observed low positive reaction in sera from 20% of leishmaniasis patients. Our results indicate that a recombinant protein RP26 can be used as immunodiagnostic reagent for detection of acute phase of schistosomiasis mansoni.     

What's Nu(SAP) in mitosis and cancer?

Unperturbed mitosis is a prerequisite for the generation of two genetically identical daughter cells. Nucleolar-spindle associated protein (NuSAP) is an important mitotic regulator. The activity of NuSAP is essential for a variety of cellular events that occur during mitosis starting from spindle assembly to cytokinesis. In addition to playing crucial roles during mitosis, NuSAP has been in the spotlight recently due to different studies exhibiting its importance in embryogenesis and cancer. In this review, we have extensively mined the current literature and made connections between different studies involving NuSAP. Importantly, we have assembled data pertaining to NuSAP from several proteomic studies and analyzed it thoroughly. Our review focuses on the role of NuSAP in mitosis and cancer, and brings to light several unanswered questions regarding the regulation of NuSAP in mitosis and its role in carcinogenesis.     

江西省2010年柯萨奇病毒A组24型变异株的全基因组序列分析

急性出血性结膜炎(Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis,AHC)是目前人类最常见的眼病之一,柯萨奇病毒A组24型变异株(Coxsackievirus A24 variant,CV-A24v)是近年来报道引起该病的主要病原体。本研究选取10株来自江西省2010年AHC暴发疫情的CV-A24v,采用特异性引物扩增并测定其全基因组序列。对该10条CV-A24v的全基因组序列进行系统发育分析以及重组分析,计算本研究测定的江西10条以及GenBank中所有22条CV-A24v的全基因组序列的氨基酸置换熵值,并预测其正向选择位点。结果表明,在江西10条CV-A24v基因组序列中未检测到重组。基于全基因组序列构建的最大似然树表明江西10株CV-A24v属于GIV基因型,且分处于两条传播链。对上述32条CV-A24v序列的氨基酸置换熵值计算,共得到25个易突变位点(熵值>0.6),易突变概率最高的区段为2A区。基于Datamonkey中FUBAR和FEL模型分析,发现位于结构蛋白VP2区的234位氨基酸为两种模型共同获得的CV-A24v的正向选择位点。本研究分析了江西10株CV-A24v的全基因组序列特征,为CV-A24v引起的AHC防控工作提供了基础资料。     

Decreased plasma nesfatin-1 levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Nesfatin-1 is a novel anorexigenic hormone which has close relationship with diabetes, obese, anorexia nervosa, psychiatric disorders and neurogenic diseases. The aim of our study was to evaluate levels of plasma nesfatin-1 among patients presenting with coronary artery disease and the correlation between nesfatin-1 levels and other clinical parameters. Fasting plasma levels of nesfatin-1 were tested in 48 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, 74 stable angina pectoris (SAP) patients and 34 control subjects. All of them were examined by coronary angiography. The severity of coronary atherosclerosis was assessed using the Gensini score. Plasma nesfatin-1 levels were significantly lower in AMI group than SAP group or control group (0.91 ± 0.08 ng/mL vs. 0.98 ± 0.19 ng/mL and 1.09 ± 0.39 ng/mL, respectively, P < 0.05). In AMI patients, plasma nesfatin-1 levels were negatively correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, neutrophil% or Gensini scores. Such information implies that lower nesfatin-1 concentration may play a very important role in the development of AMI.
