IntroductionPediatric patients with cardiomyopathies are at risk for sudden death and may need implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD’s), but given their small size and duration of use, children are at increased risk for complications associated with ICD use. The subcutaneous ICD presents a favorable option for children without pacing indications. Unfortunately, initial pediatric studies have demonstrated a high complication rate, likely due to the 3-incision technique employed.Material and methodsPatients with ICD but no pacing indication were retrospectively reviewed after implantation of subcutaneous ICD via the two-incision technique. In half of the patients, 10-J impedance test was also performed to compare with impedance obtained after defibrillation threshold testing with 65-J.ResultsTwelve patients were included. The median age was 14 years (range 10–16 years) with eight males included (72.7%). The median weight was 55 kg (range 29 kg–75.1 kg). Follow-up had a median of 11.5 months (range 2–27 months). The median body mass index was 18.4 kg/m squared (range 15.5–27.9 kg/m squared). One patient suffered a minor complication after tearing off the incisional adhesive strips early and required a non-invasive repair in clinic. Shock impedance had a median of 55 J (range 48–68 J). There was one appropriate shock/charge and no inappropriate shocks during follow-up.ConclusionThe two-incision, intermuscular technique appears to have a lower acute complication rate than prior reports, in our cohort of 12 pediatric patients. 相似文献

The role of Brca2 in gametogenesis has been obscure because of embryonic lethality of the knockout mice. We generated Brca2-null mice carrying a human BAC with the BRCA2 gene. This construct rescues embryonic lethality and the mice develop normally. However, there is poor expression of the transgene in the gonads and the mice are infertile, allowing examination of the function of BRCA2 in gametogenesis. BRCA2-deficient spermatocytes fail to progress beyond the early prophase I stage of meiosis. Observations on localization of recombination-related and spermatogenic-related proteins suggest that the spermatocytes undergo early steps of recombination (DNA double strand break formation), but fail to complete recombination or initiate spermiogenic development. In contrast to the early meiotic prophase arrest of spermatocytes, some mutant oocytes can progress through meiotic prophase I, albeit with a high frequency of nuclear abnormalities, and can be fertilized and produce embryos. Nonetheless, there is marked depletion of germ cells in adult females. These studies provide evidence for key roles of the BRCA2 protein in mammalian gametogenesis and meiotic success. 相似文献

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe septation initiation network (SIN) triggers actomyosin ring constriction, septation, and cell division. It is organized at the spindle pole body (SPB) by the scaffold proteins Sid4p and Cdc11p. Here, we dissect the contributions of Sid4p and Cdc11p in anchoring SIN components and SIN regulators to the SPB. We find that Sid4p interacts with the SIN activator, Plo1p, in addition to Cdc11p and Dma1p. While the C terminus of Cdc11p is involved in binding Sid4p, its N-terminal half is involved in a wide variety of direct protein-protein interactions, including those with Spg1p, Sid2p, Cdc16p, and Cdk1p-Cdc13p. Given that the localizations of the remaining SIN components depend on Spg1p or Cdc16p, these data allow us to build a comprehensive model of SIN component organization at the SPB. FRAP experiments indicate that Sid4p and Cdc11p are stable SPB components, whereas signaling components of the SIN are dynamically associated with these structures. Our results suggest that the Sid4p-Cdc11p complex organizes a signaling hub on the SPB and that this hub coordinates cell and nuclear division. 相似文献

We have shown that muramyl dipeptide (MDP) conjugated to a 10-mer polyguanylic acid (PolyG) is specifically internalized by macrophages through scavenger receptor (SCR)-mediated endocytosis. Macrophages activated by PolyG-MDP displayed about 20-fold higher cytotoxic activity against nonmacrophage tumor cells compared to that elicited by free MDP. The PolyG-MDP was found to trigger the secretion of higher levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-1alpha, TNF-alpha, and nitric oxide in comparison to free MDP. Addition of antibodies directed against IL-6 and TNF-alpha to macrophage culture completely abrogated the tumoricidal response of PolyG-MDP, indicating that these two cytokines are primarily responsible for bioefficacy. This general approach of PolyG as a vehicle may find wide application in the delivery of genes and antisense oligonucleotides to macrophages. 相似文献

Background
The pronuclear injection (PI) is the simplest and widely used method to generate transgenic (Tg) mice. Unfortunately, PI-based Tg mice show uncertain transgene expression due to random transgene insertion in the genome, usually with multiple copies. Thus, typically at least three or more Tg lines are produced by injecting over 200 zygotes and the best line/s among them are selected through laborious screening steps. Recently, we developed technologies using Cre-loxP system that allow targeted insertion of single-copy transgene into a predetermined locus through PI. We termed the method as PI-based Targeted Transgenesis (PITT). A similar method using PhiC31-attP/B system was reported subsequently.Results
Here, we developed an improved-PITT (i-PITT) method by combining Cre-loxP, PhiC31-attP/B and FLP-FRT systems directly under C57BL/6N inbred strain, unlike the mixed strain used in previous reports. The targeted Tg efficiency in the i-PITT typically ranged from 10 to 30%, with 47 and 62% in two of the sessions, which is by-far the best Tg rate reported. Furthermore, the system could generate multiple Tg mice simultaneously. We demonstrate that injection of up to three different Tg cassettes in a single injection session into as less as 181 zygotes resulted in production of all three separate Tg DNA containing targeted Tg mice.Conclusions
The i-PITT system offers several advantages compared to previous methods: multiplexing capability (i-PITT is the only targeted-transgenic method that is proven to generate multiple different transgenic lines simultaneously), very high efficiency of targeted-transgenesis (up to 62%), significantly reduces animal numbers in mouse-transgenesis and the system is developed under C57BL/6N strain, the most commonly used pure genetic background. Further, the i-PITT system is freely accessible to scientific community.Electronic supplementary material

Vulnerability of the mid aged rat myocardium to the age-induced oxidative stress: influence of exercise training on antioxidant defense system 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study investigated the onset of age-related changes in the myocardial antioxidant defense system (ADS) and the vulnerability of the myocardium to oxidative stress following exercise training. Few studies have investigated the influence of the most prevalent life-prolonging strategy physical exercise, on the age-dependent alterations in the myocardial antioxidant enzyme system of female rats at mid age and to determine whether exercise-induced ADS could attenuate lipid peroxidation. Two age groups young (3 months old) and mid age (12 months old) Wistar strain female albino rats were given chronic exercise training for a period of 12 weeks. We found a striking decrease (p < 0.01) in the activity levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) in the myocardium of mid aged rats when compared to young rats by 36, 50 and 29%, respectively, suggesting the onset of age-dependent decrease in the myocardial ADS. A similar age-related decrease (p < 0.01) was observed in the reduced glutathione (GSH) content (36%). Despite the reduction in ADS, lipid peroxidation (LPO) (20%) was also decreased. In contrast, exercise training significantly elevated (p < 0.01) these antioxidant enzyme activities and the content of GSH. The increase in SOD and CAT activities were more pronounced in the mid aged rats when compared to younger rats, but increased the level of lipid peroxidation to higher levels in the mid-age group following the training regimen. The findings of the present study suggest that, although the activity levels of the myocardial antioxidant enzymes were elevated with the 12 weeks of exercise training, the changes were not sufficient enough in attenuating oxidative stress in the myocardium of female rats during this short period of exercise training. 相似文献

Sle is a susceptibility locus for systemic autoimmunity derived from the lupus-prone NZM2410 mouse. The New Zealand White-derived suppressive modifier Sles1 was identified as a specific modifier of Sle1 and prevents the development of IgG anti-chromatin autoantibodies mediated by Sle1 on the C57BL/6 (B6) background. Fine mapping of Sles1 with truncated congenic intervals localizes it to a approximately 956-kb segment of mouse chromosome 17. Sles1 completely abrogates the development of activated T and B cell populations in B6.Sle1. Despite this suppression of the Sle1-mediated cell surface activation phenotypes, B6.Sle1 Sles1 splenic B cells still exhibit intrinsic ERK phosphorylation. Classic genetic complementation tests using the nonautoimmmune 129/SvJ mouse suggests that this strain possesses a Sles1 allele complementary to that of New Zealand White, as evidenced by the lack of glomerulonephritis, splenomegaly, and antinuclear autoantibody production seen in (129 x B6.Sle1 Sles1)F(1)s. These findings localize and characterize the suppressive properties of Sles1 and implicate 129 as a useful strain for aiding in the identification of this elusive epistatic modifier gene. 相似文献
