Protection of chickens against highly lethal H5N1 and H7N1 avian influenza viruses with a recombinant fowlpox virus co-expressing H5 haemagglutinin and N1 neuraminidase genes

Inactivated whole avian influenza virus (AIV) vaccine provides protection against homologous haemagglutinin (HA) subtype virus, but poor protection against a heterologous HA virus. Moreover, it induces chickens to produce antibodies to cross-reactive antigens, especially nucleoprotein, which is limits AIV serological surveillance. In this study, a recombinant fowlpox virus co-expressing HA (H5 subtype) and NA (N1 subtype) genes of AIV was evaluated for its ability to protect chickens against intramuscular challenge with a lethal dose of highly pathogenic (HP) AIV. Susceptible chickens were also vaccinated by wing-web puncture with the parent fowlpox vaccine virus. Following challenge 4 weeks later with HPAIV, all chickens vaccinated with recombinant virus were protected, while the chickens vaccinated with either the unaltered parent fowlpox vaccine virus or unvaccinated controls experienced 100% mortality following challenge. This protection was accompanied by the high levels of specific antibody to the respective components of the recombinant vaccine. The above results showed that rFPV-HA-NA could be a potential vaccine to replace current inactivated vaccines for preventing AI.     

rhBMP-2对不同培养时间骨髓基质干细胞成骨能力的影响

目的：探讨不同培养阶段骨髓基质干细胞成骨能力的变化及BMP-2对其成骨能力的影响。方法：培养兔骨髓基质干细胞，测定第3代和第18代细胞碱性磷酸酶及骨钙素活性；测定BMP-2对不同培养时间骨髓基质干细胞成骨能力的影响；测定rhBMP-2对细胞增殖的影响。结果：细胞传至第18代后，分泌的骨钙素（OC）水平及ALP活力明显降低，与第3代细胞相比，差异显著（P〈0．05）。第3代细胞在rhBMP-2的诱导下，分泌的OC水平及ALP活力在原基础上进一步升高，与对照组相比，差异显著（P〈0.05）。结第18代细胞在rhBMP-2的诱导下，分泌的OC水平及ALP活力在原基础上升高，与对照组相比，差异不显著（P〉0．05）；随培养时间的延长，各组细胞数量均有所增加，rhBMP-2诱导组与对照组细胞无显著性差异（P〉0．05）。细胞的传代次数对细胞增殖无明显影响（P〉0．05）。结论：rhBMP-2对细胞增殖无影响。随着传代次数的增加，骨髓基质干细胞的成骨能力下降，rhBMP-2促进其成骨的能力亦下降。

Global exponential stability of generalized recurrent neural networks with discrete and distributed delays.

This paper is concerned with analysis problem for the global exponential stability of a class of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with mixed discrete and distributed delays. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point under mild conditions, assuming neither differentiability nor strict monotonicity for the activation function. Then, by employing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to establish sufficient conditions for the RNNs to be globally exponentially stable. Therefore, the global exponential stability of the delayed RNNs can be easily checked by utilizing the numerically efficient Matlab LMI toolbox, and no tuning of parameters is required. A simulation example is exploited to show the usefulness of the derived LMI-based stability conditions.

A Synergistic Effect Between PG490-88 and Tacrolimus Prolongs Renal Allograft Survival in Monkeys

This study was undertaken to determine if PG490-88 and tacrolimus (Tac) act synergistically to prevent renal allograft rejection in monkeys and to explore possible mechanisms of synergy between these agents. MHC-mismatched renal allografts were transplanted into cynomolgus monkeys after bilateral nephrectomy. Recipients were divided into the following groups: (i) no treatment; (ii) PG490-88 (0.03 mg/kg); (iii) Tac (1 mg/kg); (iv) PG490-88 (0.01 mg/kg) + Tac (1 mg/kg) and (v) PG490-88 (0.03 mg/kg) + Tac (1 mg/kg). Through synergy PG490-88 and Tac inhibited anti-CD3/PMA-induced T-cell proliferation and IFN-gamma expression in vitro. Tac monotherapy only marginally prolonged survival (27 +/- 3.2 days), while the combination of PG490-88 and Tac significantly prolonged graft survival to a median of 99 days (PG490-88 at 0.03 mg) and 38.5 days (PG490-88 at 0.01 mg/kg). Prolonged survival correlated with inhibited IgM production as well as reduced T-cell infiltration, IL-2 protein expression and NF-AT/NF-kappaB activity. We conclude that PG490-88 and a subtherapeutic dose of Tac significantly prolong renal allograft survival in monkeys through the synergistic inhibition of T-cell activation and a decrease in IFN-gamma production and NF-AT/NF-kappaB activity.

听觉诱发电位指数、脑电双频指数及心血管反应评估"过浅麻醉"的价值

目的通过研究丙泊酚诱导过程中,听觉诱发电位指数(AAI)、脑电双频指数(BIS)及心血管反应与插管体动的关系,探讨上述监测手段是否能够反映“过浅麻醉”。方法35例ASAⅠ~Ⅱ级妇科择期手术患者,以丙泊酚进行诱导,患者入睡后,用压力袖带隔离一侧前臂,静注维库溴铵0·1mg/kg。当丙泊酚靶控输注(TCI)达到设定血浆靶浓度(3·5μg/ml)后行气管内插管。记录隔离侧手臂运动(体动)情况,并以是否发生体动反应为准将患者分为体动组与非体动组。记录患者诱导前、插管前的SBP、DBP、HR、BIS、AAI及插管后2min内上述指标的最大值。结果体动组AAI插管后明显高于插管前(P<0·01),而非体动组插管前、后的差异无显著意义;两组患者BIS插管前、后组内及组间的差异均无显著意义;插管引起的DBP、SBP增高体动组明显大于非体动组(P<0·01),但HR变化两组相似。结论BIS仅是衡量睡眠深度的指标,AAI及BP反映“过浅麻醉”,反映机体对伤害性刺激的反应较BIS敏感。
