A randomized placebo-controlled trial treating cutaneous lesions due to Leishmania major with intralesionnel glucantime, was conducted in El Guettar between december 1994 and June 1995, in order to assess efficacy of this therapy under field conditions. It included 109 patients: 52 were administrated glucantime and 57 received local treatment (eosin 5% and alcohol 95%). Prognostic factors were similar in both groups. Results did not reveal a significant difference between glucantime and eosin regarding the rapidity of the healing of lesions. However, scars seem to be of better quality among the glucantime group. Bacterial super infection was noticed among 57.6% of humid lesions sampled among 33 patients. Isolated strains included group A streptococcus (22%), staphylococcus aureus (16.7%) or an association of both agents (61.1%). Resistance profile indicated that streptococcus and staphylococcus respond well to macrolids compared to other antibiotic groups. 相似文献

24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25VD) is a major catabolite of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25VD) metabolism, and may be physiologically active. Our objectives were to: (1) characterize the response of serum 24,25VD(3) to vitamin D(3) (VD(3)) supplementation; (2) test the hypothesis that a higher 24,25VD(3) to 25VD(3) ratio (24,25:25VD(3)) predicts 25VD(3) response. Serum samples (n=160) from wk 2 and wk 6 of a placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of VD(3) (28,000IU/wk) were analyzed for serum 24,25VD(3) and 25VD(3) by mass spectrometry. Serum 24,25VD(3) was highly correlated with 25VD(3) in placebo- and VD(3)-treated subjects at each time point (p<0.0001). At wk 2, the 24,25:25VD(3) ratio was lower with VD(3) than with placebo (p=0.035). From wk 2 to wk 6, the 24,25:25VD(3) ratio increased with the VD(3) supplement (p<0.001) but not with placebo, such that at wk 6 this ratio did not significantly differ between groups. After correcting for potential confounders, we found that 24,25:25VD(3) at wk 2 was inversely correlated to the 25VD(3) increment by wk 6 in the supplemented group (r=-0.32, p=0.02) but not the controls. There is a strong correlation between 24,25VD(3) and 25VD(3) that is only modestly affected by VD(3) supplementation. This indicates that the catabolism of 25VD(3) to 24,25VD(3) rises with increasing 25VD(3). Furthermore, the initial ratio of serum 24,25VD(3) to 25VD(3) predicted the increase in 25VD(3). The 24,25:25VD(3) ratio may therefore have clinical utility as a marker for VD(3) catabolism and a predictor of serum 25VD(3) response to VD(3) supplementation. 相似文献

Mammalian cells repair DNA double-strand breaks by illegitimate end-joining or by homologous recombination. We investigated the effects of restriction enzymes on illegitimate and homologous DNA integration in mammalian cells. A plasmid containing the neoR expression cassette, which confers G418 resistance, was used to select for illegitimate integration events in CHO wild-type and xrcc5 mutant cells. Co-transfection with the restriction enzymes BamHI, BglII, EcoRI and KpnI increased the efficiency of linearized plasmid integration up to 5-fold in CHO cells. In contrast, the restriction enzymes did not increase the integration efficiency in xrcc5 mutant cells. Effects of restriction enzymes on illegitimate and homologous integration were also studied in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells using a plasmid containing the neoR gene flanked by exon 3 of Hprt. The enzymes BamHI, BglII and EcoRI increased the illegitimate integration efficiency of transforming DNA several-fold, similar to the results for CHO cells. However, all three enzymes decreased the absolute frequency of homologous integration ~2-fold, and the percentage of homologous integration decreased >10-fold. This suggests that random DNA breaks attract illegitimate recombination (IR) events that compete with homology search. 相似文献

Sulphonamide and 1,3,4-oxadiazole moieties are present as integral structural parts of many drugs and pharmaceuticals. Taking into account the significance of these moieties, we herein present the synthesis, single-crystal X-ray analysis, DFT studies, and α-amylase inhibition of probenecid derived two S-alkylphthalimide-oxadiazole-benzenesulfonamide hybrids. The synthesis has been accomplished in high yields. The final structures of both hybrids have been established completely with the help of different spectro-analytical techniques, including NMR, FTIR, HR-MS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. In an effort to confirm the experimental findings, versatile quantum mechanical calculations and Hirshfeld Surface analysis have been performed. α-Amylase inhibition assay has been executed to investigate the enzyme inhibitory potential of both hybrids. The low IC50 value (76.92 ± 0.19 μg/mL) of hybrid 2 shows the good α-amylase inhibition potential of the respective compound. Ultimately, the binding affinities and features of the two hybrids are elucidated utilising a molecular docking technique against the α-amylase enzyme. 相似文献

The microtubule-targeting maytansinoids accumulate in cells and induce mitotic arrest at 250- to 1000-fold lower concentrations than those required for their association with tubulin or microtubules. To identify the mechanisms of this intracellular accumulation and exceptional cytotoxicity of maytansinoids we studied interaction of a highly cytotoxic maytansinoid, S-methyl DM1 and several other maytansinoids with cells. S-methyl DM1 accumulated inside the cells with a markedly higher apparent affinity than to tubulin or microtubules. The apparent affinities of maytansinoids correlated with their cytotoxicities. The number of intracellular binding sites for S-methyl DM1 in MCF7 cells was comparable to the number of tubulin molecules per cell (~ 4–6 × 107 copies). Efflux of 3 [H]-S-methyl DM1 from cells was enhanced in the presence of an excess of non-labeled S-methyl DM1, indicating that re-binding of 3 [H]-S-methyl DM1 to intracellular binding sites contributed to its intracellular retention. Liposomes loaded with non-polymerized tubulin recapitulated the apparent high-affinity association of S-methyl DM1 to cells. We propose a model for the intracellular accumulation of maytansinoids in which molecules of the compounds diffuse into a cell and associate with tubulin. Affinities of maytansinoids for individual tubulin molecules are weak, but the high intracellular concentration of tubulin favors, after dissociation of a compound-tubulin complex, their re-binding to a tubulin molecule, or to a tip of a microtubule in the same cell, over their efflux. As a result, a significant fraction of microtubule tips is occupied with a maytansinoid when added to cells at sub-nanomolar concentrations, inducing mitotic arrest and cell death. 相似文献
