In contrast to mammals, teleost fish exhibit an enormous potential to regenerate adult spinal cord tissue after injury. However,
the mechanisms mediating this ability are largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the major processes underlying structural and
functional regeneration after amputation of the caudal portion of the spinal cord in Apteronotus leptorhynchus, a weakly electric teleost. After a transient wave of apoptotic cell death, cell proliferation started to increase 5 days
after the lesion and persisted at high levels for at least 50 days. New cells differentiated into neurons, glia, and ependymal
cells. Retrograde tract tracing revealed axonal re-growth and innervation of the regenerate. Functional regeneration was demonstrated
by recovery of the amplitude of the electric organ discharge, a behavior generated by spinal motoneurons. Computer simulations
indicated that the observed rates of apoptotic cell death and cell proliferation can adequately explain the re-growth of the
spinal cord.

Anaerobic metabolism and oxygen carrying-capacity of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) exposed to short term (three days) and long term (two weeks) moderate hypoxia (2-2.6 mg/L) was investigated. Glucose and lactate levels in hemolymph increased under both hypoxic conditions, indicating an activation of anaerobic pathways during the two-weeks exposure period. In muscle, no differences of glucose and lactate levels were observed between the control group and the exposed groups. In animals exposed to hypoxia for two weeks, hemocyanin and copper in hemolymph were higher than in animals under normoxic conditions or exposed for three days. These results indicate that an increase in oxygen carrying-capacity in shrimp is evident only after a sustained condition of hypoxia. Copper levels in the hepatopancreas decreased in both hypoxic conditions, suggesting a mobilization of copper stores for hemocyanin synthesis. These results indicate that penaeid shrimp can tolerate moderate hypoxic conditions by physiological adaptations, such as anaerobic metabolism and increased oxygen carrying-capacity. These adaptations require an adequate dietary supply of proteins and copper for hemocyanin synthesis and of carbohydrates for anaerobic metabolism. 相似文献

Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are antibody mimetics with high and mostly unexplored potential in drug development. By using in silico analysis and a rationally guided Ala scanning, we identified position 17 of the N-terminal capping repeat to play a key role in overall protein thermostability. The melting temperature of a DARPin domain with a single full-consensus internal repeat was increased by 8 °C to 10 °C when Asp17 was replaced by Leu, Val, Ile, Met, Ala, or Thr. We then transferred the Asp17Leu mutation to various backgrounds, including clinically validated DARPin domains, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor-binding domain of the DARPin abicipar pegol. In all cases, these proteins showed improvements in the thermostability on the order of 8 °C to 16 °C, suggesting the replacement of Asp17 could be generically applicable to this drug class. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the Asp17Leu mutation reduces electrostatic repulsion and improves van-der-Waals packing, rendering the DARPin domain less flexible and more stable. Interestingly, this beneficial Asp17Leu mutation is present in the N-terminal caps of three of the five DARPin domains of ensovibep, a SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor currently in clinical development, indicating this mutation could be partly responsible for the very high melting temperature (>90 °C) of this promising anti-COVID-19 drug. Overall, such N-terminal capping repeats with increased thermostability seem to be beneficial for the development of innovative drugs based on DARPins. 相似文献

In the United States, fibrin sealants have been used to achieve hemostasis for nearly two decades. Although their clinical utility was first demonstrated in cardiac surgery, their effectiveness and safety have since been demonstrated to extend to a wide array of procedures. Fibrin sealants typically contain two components—fibrinogen and thrombin—that are combined and delivered simultaneously to a target bleeding site in order to achieve hemostasis. However, many commercial formulations contain other additional components, such as antifibrinolytic agents, that have been associated with adverse outcomes. This subanalysis compares the safety and effectiveness of a fibrin sealant versus an absorbable hemostat for achieving hemostasis during urologic procedures with mild to moderate bleeding.Key words: Hemostasis, Hemostatics, Fibrin tissue adhesive, Urologic surgical procedures, Surgical techniqueIn the United States, fibrin sealants have been used to achieve hemostasis for nearly two decades. Although their clinical utility was first demonstrated in cardiac surgery,1 their effectiveness and safety have since been demonstrated to extend to a wide array of procedures, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pneumothoracic, neurologic, urologic, otolaryngologic, dental, and reconstructive surgeries.2,3 Within the field of urology, fibrin sealants have been used to manage bleeding from renal trauma,4 as well as to facilitate hemostasis during renal surgeries, including partial nephrectomies.5–7Fibrin sealants typically contain two components—fibrinogen and thrombin—that are combined and delivered simultaneously to a target bleeding site (TBS) in order to achieve hemostasis.3 Many commercial formulations contain other additional components, such as antifibrinolytic agents, that have been associated with adverse outcomes. For example, in an observational study (N = 4374), the antifibrinolytic aprotinin was associated with an increased risk of long-term mortality within 5 years following coronary artery bypass graft surgery.8 Furthermore, repeated exposure to aprotinin may lead to allergic or potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions.9–11 For this reason, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert in 2006 indicating that caution should be used when using aprotinin in patients with a history of previous exposure to the product.12 Tranexamic acid, another antifibrinolytic present in some commercial fibrin sealants, has been associated with alterations in neural tissue growth and adherence.13 Because of the risk of cerebral neurologic toxicity, fibrin sealants containing tranexamic acid are contraindicated for use in neurosurgery or in surgical procedures during which contact with cerebrospinal fluid or dura mater may occur.14In a phase III, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group, multicenter study,15 the fibrin sealant CROSSEAL™ (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ) significantly reduced the time to hemostasis during liver resection surgery compared with conventional hemostatic techniques. EVICEL® Fibrin Sealant (Human) (Ethicon, Inc.), the successor of CROSSEAL, requires no antifibrinolytic additive and is therefore both aprotinin and tranexamic acid free, and achieves hemostasis using exclusively human components.16 The effectiveness and safety of this fibrin sealant for hemostasis in soft tissue during elective retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal surgery were compared with an absorbable hemostat (SURGICEL® Absorbable Hemostat; Ethicon, Inc.) in a randomized, active-controlled, multicenter study.17 This article describes a subanalysis of data from the largest patient subgroup from that study, and evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a fibrin sealant versus an absorbable hemostat for patients who underwent urologic surgical procedures. 相似文献

The aim of the present investigation was to develop and evaluate microemulsion-loaded hydrogels (MEHs) for the topical delivery of fluconazole (FZ). The solubility of FZ in oils, surfactants and cosurfactants was evaluated to identify the components of the microemulsion. The pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed using the novel phase diagram by micro-plate dilution method. Carbopol EDT 2020 was used to convert FZ-loaded microemulsions into gel form without affecting their structure. The selected microemulsions were assessed for globule size, zeta potential and polidispersity index. Besides this, the microemulsion-loaded hydrogel (MEH) formulations were evaluated for drug content, pH, rheological properties and in vitro drug release through synthetic membrane and excised pig ear skin in comparison with a conventional hydrogel. The optimised MEH FZ formulations consisting of FZ 2%, Transcutol P 11.5% and 11%, respectively, as oil phase, Lansurf SML 20-propyleneglycol 52% and 50%, respectively, as surfactant–cosurfactant (2:1), Carbopol EDT 2020 1.5% as gelling agent and water 34.5% and 37%, respectively, showed highest flux values and high release rate values, and furthermore, they had low surfactant content. The in vitro FZ permeation through synthetic membrane and excised pig ear skin from the studied MEHs was best described by the zero-order and first-order models. Finally, the optimised MEH FZ formulations showed similar or slightly higher antifungal activity as compared to that of conventional hydrogel and Nizoral® cream, respectively. The results suggest the potential use of developed MEHs as vehicles for topical delivery of FZ, encouraging further in vitro and in vivo evaluation.KEY WORDS: fluconazole, in vitro skin permeation, microemulsion, microemulsion-loaded hydrogel, topical 相似文献

The Eastern European Grey cattle are regarded as the direct descendants of the aurochs (Bos taurus primigenius). Nowadays in Romania, less than 100 Grey animals are being reared and included in the national gene reserve. We examined the genetic diversity among Romanian Grey, Brown, Spotted and Black and White cattle breeds, with a particular focus on Romanian Grey through the use of (i) 11 bovine specific microsatellite markers on 83 animals and (ii) 638 bp length of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region sequence data from a total of 81 animals. Both microsatellite and mtDNA analysis revealed a high level of genetic variation in the studied breeds. In Romanian Grey a total of 100 alleles were found, the mean number of observed alleles per locus was 9.091; the average observed heterozygosity was 0.940; the Wright’s fixation index (FIS) was negative (-0.189) and indicates that there is no inbreeding and no selection pressure. MtDNA analysis revealed 52 haplotypes with 67 variable sites among the Romanian cattle breeds without any insertion or deletion. Haplotype diversity was 0.980 ± 0.007 and ranged from 0.883 ± 0.056 (Brown) to 0.990 ± 0.028 (Spotted and Black and White). The highest genetic variability of the mtDNA was recorded in the Grey breed, where 18 haplotypes were identified. The most frequent mtDNA D-loop region belonged to T3 haplogroup (80.247%), which was found across all studied breeds, while T2 haplotypes (16.049%) was only found in Grey, Spotted and Black and White genotypes. The T1 haplotypes (3.704%) were found in the Grey and Spotted. The current results contribute to the general knowledge on genetic diversity found in Eastern European cattle breeds and could prove a valuable tool for the conservation efforts of animal genetic resources (FAnGR). 相似文献
