急性肺栓塞后osteoglycin的表达及对胶原代谢的影响

目的 研究大鼠急性肺栓塞模型肺组织中osteoglycin(OGN)的表达变化及其对胶原代谢的影响.方法 建立大鼠急性肺栓塞模型,分别在急性肺栓塞后1、8、24和48h开胸取出肺组织,提取总RNA和总蛋白.以正常大鼠为对照组,采用半定量RT-PCR研究OGN mRNA的表达变化,采用Western blot进一步验证OGN蛋白表达的变化,采用免疫组织化学方法检测肺栓塞前后大鼠肺组织中OGN的表达变化及组织分布情况,采用Masson染色观察急性肺栓塞4周后肺组织内的胶原沉积状况.结果 在大鼠急性肺栓塞后,OGN在mRNA及蛋白水平均逐渐降低.免疫组化染色显示OGN主要分布在支气管黏膜上皮细胞下层、软骨组织和肺泡周围,且在肺动脉内皮细胞下层、外膜和肺静脉的内膜、中膜以及外膜均有分布.急性肺栓塞后OGN在上述组织内的表达均明显降低.急性肺栓塞4周后肺组织内的胶原沉积明显增加.结论 大鼠急性肺栓塞后肺组织内OGN表达降低,促进了胶原在肺部的沉积.

Strategic planning in academic paediatric hospitals: The need for child health input

Over the past two decades, a number of Canadian paediatric academic programs, previously operated as separate hospitals, have been integrated into larger teaching hospitals or regional health authorities. The present article describes the recent experience of the Children’s Hospital of Western Ontario within the London Health Sciences Centre (London, Ontario) to illustrate the potential deleterious effects of planning, system and program changes in a large academic hospital without child health input at the executive decision-making level. The vision of the London Health Sciences Centre Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors was divergent from that of the paediatric health care providers, which resulted in the resignation of a number of paediatric subspecialists and compromised the ability of the Department of Paediatrics to deliver paediatric care and educate future professionals. The present article highlights the need for the involvement of paediatric stakeholders in strategic planning in the hope that other academic centres can learn from this experience.     

与Graves眼病有关的眼肌自身抗原抗体的分子免疫学研究

为探讨Ｇｒａｖｅｓ眼病（ＧＯ）的发病机理，我们对新近发现的眼肌自身抗原及存在于ＧＯ患者血清的眼肌抗体进行了研究。血清取自１８例正常人、１８例活动性ＧＯ、１０例无限征的Ｇｒａｖｅｓ甲亢（ＧＨ）和３例桥本甲状腺炎（ＨＴ）患者。人眼肌膜蛋白经ＧＯ患者混合ＩｇＧ亲和层析后进行ＳＤＳ－聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳，显示分子量为４５、２８、５５和６４ｋＤ等蛋白条带。经正常人混合ＩｇＧ亲和层析未能显示上述结果。Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ印迹杂交虽然未能证实仅与患者血清作用的独特的眼肌抗原的存在，但６４ｋＤ印迹存在于６１％的ＧＯ、３０％的ＧＨ、０％的ＨＴ患者，正常人仅２２％阳性。抗６４ｋＤ阳性率ＧＯ组明显高于对照组（Ｐ＜０．０５）。眼肌抗体（ＥＭＡｂ）特别是抗６４ｋＤ抗体对于ＧＯ发病机理的作用值得进一步研究。     

青蒿鳖甲汤加减治疗癌性发热经验总结

肿瘤发病率逐年上升,治疗手段日渐丰富,肿瘤患者的生存期得到明显延长,生活质量得到显著提高。因此,肿瘤和放疗、化疗后引起的并发症对患者生活质量及疾病预后的影响显得愈加重要。癌性发热作为肿瘤患者的常见并发症之一受到密切关注。临床实践发现西医治疗非感染性发热效果欠佳,而中医药优势相对显著,退热效果明显,不易反复,对患者生活质量及预后改善有利。     

Detection of IgA protease from Haemophilus influenzae by immunoblotting

IgA protease produced by various strains of Haemophilus infuenzae can digest serum IgA and yield its fragments which can react with anti-IgA serum. We assayed IgA protease activity by detecting the digests of IgA by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. The digests were separated with SDS-PAGE, transferrend to nitrocellulose membranes and detected with anti- ( chain of human IgA, its Fab and its Fc) immunoglobulin conjugated peroxidases.Using this method, we can determine which type of IgA protease is produced by various of H. infuenzae strains. All the 20 strains isolated from respiratory tracts produced IgA protease.

Western blot 检测蛋白表达方法的改进

Western blot为常用的检测蛋白质的方法．其操作步骤较多，在抗体反应这一步骤中．常规方珐首先用靶蛋白特异性的非标记抗体与靶蛋白的抗原决定簇相结合．然后用Ⅰ-蛋白A或与辣根过氧化物酶耦联的抗免疫球蛋白抗体检测已结合上去的抗体，此法虽好，但有如下缺点：（1)信号放大有限．在蛋白质量少的隋况下无法得到满意结果，     

Subchondroplasty in the treatment of bone Marrow lesion in early Knee Osteoarthritis: A systematic review of clinical and radiological outcomes

BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is increasingly prevalent in North American society. The significant societal burden it represents makes it essential to promote and target new treatments in earlier phases of the disease. Among others, subchondroplasty is a newly documented technique using calcium phosphate injection targeting the osteochondral lesions preceding KOA, also known as Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs). This article aimed to review the existing literature on clinical and radiological outcomes of subchondroplasty in the treatment of BMLs in KOA.MethodA systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Studies on calcium phosphate injections into BMLs for KOA and its clinical and radiological outcomes were screened and reviewed by independent evaluators.ResultsAfter screening, ten articles were included, totaling 540 patients. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 7 years. Overall, the procedure showed significant functional and quality of life improvement, as well as pain relief, as shown by Patients-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). There were very few complications reported, the most important being leakage of calcium phosphate outside the targeted site. Conversion rate to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) ranged from 14 % to 30 % at 2 years post-procedure. Long term radiological outcomes have been poorly documented.ConclusionsSubchondroplasty is a promising avenue for the treatment of KOA. However, quality evidence is still required before any real conclusions and practical management guidelines can be drawn. Prospective, randomized studies with a control group and a rigorous assessment of long-term clinical and radiological outcomes are recommended.     

Comparison of protein tyrosine phosphorylation and morphological changes induced by IL-2 and IL-3.

We constructed cell lines which can proliferate in response to IL-2 or IL-3 by introducing a wild-type and mutant forms of cDNAs encoding the human IL-2R p75 chain into an IL-3 dependent hematopoietic cell line which expresses the p55 chain of the IL-2R. We compared early events that were induced in these cells by IL-2 and IL-3. Analysis of protein tyrosine phosphorylation showed that two common protein bands, pp95 and pp90, were phosphorylated by stimulation of either IL-2 or IL-3, suggesting the possible sharing of part of a signal transduction pathway between IL-2R and IL-3R. Comparison of protein tyrosine phosphorylation profiles induced by IL-2 and IL-3 among a variety of cell lines revealed that the pp90 band is the common tyrosine phosphorylation substrate in the cell lines examined, although the general tyrosine phosphorylation pattern differed in each cell line. Mutant p75 molecules incapable of inducing tyrosine phosphorylation could bind and internalize IL-2, but could not support cell growth. We also found that swift changes of cytoskeletal protein organization are one of the early events caused by signal transduction through either IL-2R and IL-3R. Reorganization of cytoskeletal proteins seems to be associated with protein phosphorylation, as a significant portion of pp90 was found in a detergent-soluble fraction in IL-2 or IL-3 treated cells.
