Identification and characterization of a previously undetected region between the perichondrium and periosteum of the developing avian limb

In developing long bones, the growing cartilage and bone are surrounded by the fibrous perichondrium (PC) and periosteum (PO), respectively, which provide cells for the appositional growth (i.e., growth in diameter) of these tissues. Also during the longitudinal growth of a bone, the cartilage is continuously replaced by bony tissue, giving rise to the widely held assumption that the PC concomitantly gives rise to the PO. Except for this morphological correlate, however, no evidence exists for a direct conversion of PC cells to PO cells, and our observations presented here question this assumption. Instead, we have obtained evidence suggesting that a previously undescribed region exists between the PC and PO. This region, termed the border region (BR), has several unique characteristics which distinguish it from either the PC or PO, including (1) its lack of being determined to differentiate as either cartilage or bone, (2) its ability to preferentially elicit the invasion of blood vessels, and (3) its ability to undergo preferential growth.     

WHBE兔血液蛋白的特性

目的比较大耳白黑眼兔（WHBE兔）与日本大耳白兔（JW兔）和新西澜兔（NZW兔）血液蛋白的多态性,从分子水平了解WHBE兔特殊性状的遗传背景。方法采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳对WHBE兔、JW兔和NZW兔血液中的前白蛋白（Pr）,后白蛋白（Po）,前转铁蛋白1（Prt1）,前转铁蛋白2（Prt2）,转铁蛋白1（Tf1）,转铁蛋白2（Tf2）,后转铁蛋白（Ptf）,慢α球蛋白（Sag）、血红蛋白（Hbα、Hbβ）和白蛋白（Alb）共11个蛋白位点进行检测。结果Pr、Ptf、Hbα、Hbβ、Alb、Po、Sag和Prt2在所有实验兔个体中的表型一致,而Tf1、Tf2和Prt1的表型在各实验兔品系间存在显著差异。在Tf1位点,NZW兔以BC表型为主,无AA型;JW兔只有AA型,而WHBE兔以AB型为主。在Tf2位点,NZW兔有AA型,而JW兔和WHBE兔无AA型。在Prt1位点,NZW兔无AB、BB和BC表型而有AC表型。NZW兔蛋白位点的平均杂合度大于JW兔和WHBE兔。JW兔与WHBE兔的遗传距离最近。结论Tf1、Tf2和Prt1可作为区分NZW兔、JW兔和WHBE兔的特征标记,并且与WHBE兔特殊性状形成有关。JW兔与WHBE兔的亲缘关系最近。     

An integrated assessment of lead exposure in children: Correlation with biochemical and haematological indices

BackgroundLead (Pb) is a worldwide concern due to its persistent property in the environment. However, due to diminutive evidence and elusiveness, the impact of lead exposure on the biochemical and haematological parameter in school-age children is not well established.AimThis study primarily aimed to investigate blood lead (BL) in children and its association with haematological and biochemical parameter.MethodsA total of 43 children (4–12 years) were recruited in each control and study group. Furthermore, the study group were subdivided into two groups (group A (<10 μg/dl) and group B (>10 μg/dl)). BL level, haematological parameter including haemoglobin, packed cell volume, red blood cells, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, total leukocytes count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, mean corpuscular volume, red cell distribution width, eosinophil’s, platelets in the whole blood and biochemical parameter such as liver function test (total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, total protein, albumin) and kidney function test (sodium, potassium, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine) in serum were measured using anodic stripping voltammeter (ASV), Cell-Dyn Ruby Haematology analyser, Beckman coulter Unicel Dxc 800 Synchron Clinical analyser respectively.ResultsThe arithmetical mean of BL level was 19.93 ± 9.22 μg/dl (median: 17.5 μg/dl; range 9.1–37.4 μg/dl). Only 21 % children had BL levels <10 μg/dl and there were 79 % children with BL levels >10 μg/dl. Blood mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, Neutrophils, Monocytes were significantly higher between the control and study group. Additionally, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, red blood cells, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, Lymphocytes and mean corpuscular volume intensities were significantly lower in >10 μg/dl group whereas total leukocytes count, neutrophils, monocytes, red cell distribution width, eosinophil’s, platelets levels were statistically higher (p < 0.001).Serum alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, total protein, were higher (p < 0.05) and sodium, albumin were significantly lower in the study group. The mean value of sodium, potassium, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, total protein and blood urea nitrogen, creatinine in two groups (<10 μg/dl and >10 μg/dl) was not significantly different. Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase level was significantly higher (p = 0.015) while albumin levels were significantly lower (p = 0.034) in >10 μg/dl group. A statistically significant correlation of BL levels with all haematological parameters was also observed. Creatinine is positively and albumin was negatively correlated with BL levels.ConclusionThe outcomes specify that high BL levels were significantly associated with higher haematological and biochemical indices in exposed children. However, lead like noxious metals severely affected the haematological, kidney and liver health of children.

Schistosoma mansoni: mice infected with different worm strains.

Infections with five geographical strains and substrains of Schistosoma mansoni were compared in mice. Two substrains (Lc-1 and Lt-1) were derived from the parent (L-1) St. Lucian strain on the basis of differing infectivity for various snail strains. The Puerto Rican strains (PR-1 and PR-2) were obtained with an interval of 25 years. Consistent differences among the lines were found in egg distribution and numbers of eggs in tissues and feces. One Puerto Rican strain (PR-2) and one St. Lucian substrain (Lc-1) had longer prepatent periods than the other strains. Mice infected with the PR-1 strain consistently had the highest egg accumulation in the tissues per worm pair. Relatively few eggs were passed in the feces of the Lt-1 strain. By Week 9 of infection, eggs were noted in the spleens of mice carrying each of the strains and substrains.

CIRCADIAN PATTERN OF BLOOD PRESSURE,HEART RATE,AND DOUBLE PRODUCT IN LIVER GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE

The objective of this study was to determine systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure (SBP, DBP, and MAP), heart rate (HR), double-product (DP: SBP×HR), and activity levels and their 24h pattern in liver glycogen storage disease (LGSD) patients. A case series of 12 (11 pediatric and one adult) diurnally active LGSD (seven type I, three type III, and two type IX) subjects were simultaneously assessed by 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and wrist actigraphy. Nine subjects were judged to be hypertensive based on the criterion of an elevated 24h mean SBP and/or DBP being elevated beyond reference standards or the SBP and/or DBP load (percentage of time BP exceeds normal values) being greater than 25%. Two of the three other subjects, not viewed as hypertensive based on their 24h average SBP or DBP, exhibited daytime or nighttime SBP and/or DBP load hypertension. Each study variables displayed statistically significant (p<0.001) group circadian rhythmicity. The SBP, DBP, and MAP displayed comparable 24h patterns of appreciable amplitude (total peak–trough variation equal to 17.7, 23.6, and 19.6%, respectively, of the 24h mean) with highest values (orthophase) occurring ～11 h after the commencement of daytime activity. The sleep-time trough (bathyphase) occurred ～4.5 h before morning awakening. The statistically significant (p<0.006) circadian rhythms of HR (amplitude equal to 33.2% of the 24h mean) and DP (amplitude equal to 49.4% of the 24h mean) peaked earlier, ～7.4 h into the daytime activity span. The sleep-time trough occurred ～3 h before morning awakening. The 24h pattern in the cardiovascular variables was correlated with the 24h pattern of activity, with r ranging from 0.50 for DBP to 0.39 for HR.
