Comparison of posttransfusion recoveries achieved with either fresh or stored platelet concentrates 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effectiveness of platelet concentrate transfusion depends on such variables as blood bag material, donor--recipient compatibility, and time elapsed between donation and transfusion. To study the latter a corrected thrombocyte increment for recovery in the recipients was evaluated with 108 platelet transfusions in 31 patients. In 83 treatment programs, the mean recovery at the one-hour post-transfusion time point was 8.6 X 10(9) platelets/l with fresh platelets and 5.9 X 10(9) platelets/l with stored platelets. Significantly better recovery was achieved with freshly prepared platelet over the total of platelet concentrates stored for up to 96 hours; however, if the recoveries in different patient groups given stored platelets were considered separately in terms of storage times of up to 48 h or 48-96 h, the good recovery with fresh platelets was significantly better only when compared to the older (p = 0.034) but not to the younger group of stored platelets. In patients with signs indicating enhanced platelet destruction (fever, splenomegaly, disseminated intravascular coagulation) the transfusion with fresh platelet concentrates gave a significantly better recovery compared to stored platelet concentrates (p = 0.028), whereas in the absence of such signs the recovery produced by fresh concentrates was not significantly higher than with stored concentrates. These findings may be relevant for the logistics in blood banking. 相似文献

In vitro binding assays have indicated that the exercise-induced increase in muscle GLUT4 is preceded by increased binding of myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) to its cis-element on the Glut4 promoter. Because in vivo binding conditions are often not adequately recreated in vitro, we measured the amount of MEF2A that was bound to the Glut4 promoter in rat triceps after an acute swimming exercise in vivo, using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. Bound MEF2A was undetectable in nonexercised controls or at 24 h postexercise but was significantly elevated approximately 6 h postexercise. Interestingly, the increase in bound MEF2A was preceded by an increase in autonomous activity of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) II in the same muscle. To determine if CaMK signaling mediates MEF2A/DNA associations in vivo, we performed ChIP assays on C(2)C(12) myotubes expressing constitutively active (CA) or dominant negative (DN) CaMK IV proteins. We found that approximately 75% more MEF2A was bound to the Glut4 promoter in CA compared with DN CaMK IV-expressing cells. GLUT4 protein increased approximately 70% 24 h after exercise but was unchanged by overexpression of CA CaMK IV in myotubes. These results confirm that exercise increases the binding of MEF2A to the Glut4 promoter in vivo and provides evidence that CaMK signaling is involved in this interaction. 相似文献

The ecological effects of climate change have been shown in most major taxonomic groups; however, the evolutionary consequences are less well‐documented. Adaptation to new climatic conditions offers a potential long‐term mechanism for species to maintain viability in rapidly changing environments, but mammalian examples remain scarce. The American pika (Ochotona princeps) has been impacted by recent climate‐associated extirpations and range‐wide reductions in population sizes, establishing it as a sentinel mammalian species for climate change. To investigate evidence for local adaptation and reconstruct patterns of genomic diversity and gene flow across rapidly changing environments, we used a space‐for‐time design and restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing to genotype American pikas along two steep elevational gradients at 30,966 SNPs and employed independent outlier detection methods that scanned for genotype‐environment associations. We identified 338 outlier SNPs detected by two separate analyses and/or replicated in both transects, several of which were annotated to genes involved in metabolic function and oxygen transport. Additionally, we found evidence of directional gene flow primarily downslope from high‐elevation populations, along with reduced gene flow at outlier loci. If this trend continues, elevational range contractions in American pikas will likely be from local extirpation rather than upward movement of low‐elevation individuals; this, in turn, could limit the potential for adaptation within this landscape. These findings are of particular relevance for future conservation and management of American pikas and other elevationally restricted, thermally sensitive species. 相似文献

Specimens of Chonopeltis collected from the gill chambers of the snake catfish Clarias theodorae in the Luphephe River, a tributary of the Limpopo in northern Transvaal, showed close resemblance to C. inermis Thiele, 1900 previously only recorded from Lake Malawi. Comparative scanning electron microscopical studies on this material
and specimens of C. inermis on loan from The Natural History Museum, London showed beyond doubt that C. inermis also occurs in the Limpopo System. This implies that it dispersed across a watershed and successfully established in a different
water system. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag is the primary structural protein of the virus and is sufficient for particle formation. We utilized the recently developed biarsenical-labeling method to dynamically observe HIV-1 Gag within live cells by adding a tetracysteine tag (C-C-P-G-C-C) to the C terminus of Gag in both Pr55Gag expression and full-length proviral constructs. Membrane-permeable biarsenical compounds FlAsH and ReAsH covalently bond to this tetracysteine sequence and specifically fluoresce, effectively labeling Gag in the cell. Biarsenical labeling readily and specifically detected a tetracysteine-tagged HIV-1 Gag protein (Gag-TC) in HeLa, Mel JuSo, and Jurkat T cells by deconvolution fluorescence microscopy. Gag-TC was localized primarily at or near the plasma membrane in all cell types examined. Fluorescent two-color analysis of Gag-TC in HeLa cells revealed that nascent Gag was present mostly at the plasma membrane in distinct regions. Intracellular imaging of a Gag-TC myristylation mutant observed a diffuse signal throughout the cell, consistent with the role of myristylation in Gag localization to the plasma membrane. In contrast, mutation of the L-domain core sequence did not appreciably alter the localization of Gag, suggesting that the PTAP L domain functions at the site of budding rather than as a targeting signal. Taken together, our results show that Gag concentrates in specific plasma membrane areas rapidly after translation and demonstrate the utility of biarsenical labeling for visualizing the dynamic localization of Gag. 相似文献
