Three anti-H-2Ld and two anti-H-2Dd monoclonal alloantibodies were analyzed for their capacity to enhance skin graft and neonatal heart graft survival. Of two anti-H-2Ld antibodies with the same specificity but with different isotypes, IgG2a antibody 30-5-7S prolonged graft survival in a skin graft combination with an Ld difference, whereas IgM antibodies did not. A second IgG2a antibody, but with a specificity different from 30-5-7S, was ineffective on its own. However, when mixed with 30-5-7S, skin graft survival was augmented as compared with the prolongation by 30-5-7S alone. Enhancement by anti-H-2Ld antibodies was dependent on the extent of the H-2 graft barrier. It was abrogated on extension of the graft barrier to a D-end H-2 difference by using the B10.A----B10.BR combination. Also, anti-Dd antibodies, either alone or in combination with anti-Ld, were ineffective in this skin graft combination. By using the same graft combination but the less immunogenic neonatal heart graft model, anti-Ld antibodies were still ineffective, but both anti-Dd antibodies were able to enhance graft survival from 15 to 22 days. When mixed with anti-Ld antibody 30-5-7S, graft survival was augmented further to 30 days. These results indicate that two kinds of enhancing alloantibodies may be distinguished. One category interacts with immunodominant epitopes on H-2 molecules, but their effectiveness may be limited to a particular H-2 difference, because immunodominance may vary from one graft barrier to another. In the second category, antibodies are ineffective on their own but they are able to potentiate the effects of antibodies of the first kind. These allocations are relative, however, because they are dependent on the type of graft examined. 相似文献

Catecholamines induce net salt and water movements in duck red cells incubated in isotonic solutions. The rate of this response is approximately three times greater than a comparable effect observed in 400 mosmol hypertonic solutions in the absence of hormone (W.F. Schmidt and T. J. McManus. 1977 a.J. Gen. Physiol. 70:59-79. Otherwise, these two systems share a great many similarities. In both cases, net water and salt movements have a marked dependence on external cation concentrations, are sensitive to furosemide and insensitive to ouabain, and allow the substitution of rubidium for external potassium. In the presence of ouabain, but the absence of external potassium (or rubidium), a furosemide-sensitive net extrusion of sodium against a large electrochemical gradient can be demonstrated. When norepinephrine-treated cells are incubated with ouabain and sufficient external sodium, the furosemide-sensitive, unidirectional influxes of both sodium and rubidium are half- maximally saturated at similar rubidium concentrations; with saturating external rubidium, the same fluxes are half-maximal at comparable levels of external sodium. In the absence of sodium, a catecholamine-stimulated, furosemide-sensitive influx of rubidium persists. In the absence of rubidium, a similar but smaller component of sodium influx can be seen. We interpret these results in terms of a cotransport model for sodium plus potassium which is activated by hypertonicity or norepinephrine. When either ion is absent from the incubation medium, the system promotes an exchange-diffusion type of movement of the co-ion into the cells. In the absence of external potassium, net movement of potassium out of the cell leads to a coupled extrusion of sodium against its electrochemical gradient. 相似文献

Introduction
To investigate whether accelerated hand bone mineral density (BMD) loss is associated with progressive joint damage in hands and feet in the first year of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether it is an independent predictor of subsequent progressive total joint damage after 4 years.Methods
In 256 recent-onset RA patients, baseline and 1-year hand BMD was measured in metacarpals 2-4 by digital X-ray radiogrammetry. Joint damage in hands and feet were scored in random order according to the Sharp-van der Heijde method at baseline and yearly up to 4 years.Results
68% of the patients had accelerated hand BMD loss (>-0.003 g/cm2) in the first year of RA. Hand BMD loss was associated with progressive joint damage after 1 year both in hands and feet with odds ratios (OR) (95% confidence intervals [CI]) of 5.3 (1.3-20.9) and 3.1 (1.0-9.7). In univariate analysis, hand BMD loss in the first year was a predictor of subsequent progressive total joint damage after 4 years with an OR (95% CI) of 3.1 (1.3-7.6). Multivariate analysis showed that only progressive joint damage in the first year and anti-citrullinated protein antibody positivity were independent predictors of long-term progressive joint damage.Conclusions
In the first year of RA, accelerated hand BMD loss is associated with progressive joint damage in both hands and feet. Hand BMD loss in the first year of recent-onset RA predicts subsequent progressive total joint damage, however not independent of progressive joint damage in the first year. 相似文献5.
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Immunogenicity against
these antibodies has been shown to be clinically important: it is associated with shorter response duration because of diminishing
concentrations in the blood and with infusion reactions. Concomitant immunomodulators in the form of methotrexate or azathioprine
reduced the immunogenicity of therapeutic antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn disease, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
The occurrence of adverse events does not increase when immunomodulators are added to therapeutic antibodies. The mechanism
whereby methotrexate and azathioprine influence immunogenicity remains unclear. Evidence-based consensus on prescribing concomitant
immunomodulators is needed. 相似文献

Although osteoporosis and its related fractures are common in patients with COPD, patients at high risk of fracture are poorly identified, and consequently, undertreated. Since there are no fracture prevention guidelines available that focus on COPD patients, we developed a clinical approach to improve the identification and treatment of COPD patients at high risk of fracture. We organised a round-table discussion with 8 clinical experts in the field of COPD and fracture prevention in the Netherlands in December 2013. The clinical experts presented a review of the literature on COPD, osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Based on the Dutch fracture prevention guideline, they developed a 5-step clinical approach for fracture prevention in COPD. Thereby, they took into account both classical risk factors for fracture (low body mass index, older age, personal and family history of fracture, immobility, smoking, alcohol intake, use of glucocorticoids and increased fall risk) and COPD-specific risk factors for fracture (severe airflow obstruction, pulmonary exacerbations and oxygen therapy). Severe COPD (defined as postbronchodilator FEV1 < 50% predicted) was added as COPD-specific risk factor to the list of classical risk factors for fracture. The 5-step clinical approach starts with case finding using clinical risk factors, followed by risk evaluation (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and imaging of the spine), differential diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. This systematic clinical approach, which is evidence-based and easy-to-use in daily practice by pulmonologists, should contribute to optimise fracture prevention in COPD patients at high risk of fracture. 相似文献

Changes in metacarpal cortical bone mineral density (BMD) using digital x-ray radiogrammetry were studied in patients with
early rheumatoid arthritis. After 1, 2, and 5 years, large BMD losses were found: -1.7%, -2.8%, and -5.6%, respectively. Elevated
erythrocyte sedimentation rate and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide levels were independent predictors of bone loss, indicating
that the largest amount of bone loss was found in patients with severe inflammation and high production of auto-antibodies,
who are known to be at the highest risk of developing radiological bone damage. Studies are needed about the spatial and time
relationship between erosions and juxta-articular and metacarpal bone loss. 相似文献

Restriction-map variation associated with the G6PD polymorphism in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Restriction-map variation was studied in 126 copies of the G6pd region in X
chromosome lines of Drosophila melanogaster from North America, Europe, and
Africa. Special attention was focused on the distribution of variation
relative to the geographically variable polymorphism for two
electrophoretic variants. Nucleotide heterozygosity as determined by eight
six-cutter restriction enzymes for the 13-kb region is estimated, on the
basis of the worldwide sample, to be 0.065%, which is the lowest value
reported for any comparable region in the D. melanogaster genome.
Significant linkage disequilibrium between electrophoretic alleles and
restriction-site variation is observed for several sites. In contrast to
published studies of other genetic regions, there are large insertions that
reach significant frequencies and are found across considerable geographic
distances. There is a clustering of this variation inside the first large
intervening sequence of the G6PD gene.
