目的观察蛇床子素对去卵巢致骨质疏松大鼠的影响。方法选取3月龄雌性SD大鼠30只,随机分为蛇床子素组(A组)、模型对照组(B组)、假手术组(C组),各10只。A、B 2组摘除卵巢构建去势大鼠骨质疏松模型,C组仅进行手术、不摘除卵巢。造模成功后,分别给予相应药物灌胃,连续给药12周,处死。然后测量骨密度,检测治疗后血清BGP、TGF-β1、钙指标。结果B组大鼠股骨骨密度较C组明显降低(P<0.05);经12周治疗,A组股骨骨密度较B组明显升高(P<0.05)。与C组比较,B组大鼠血清中BGP含量升高、TGF-β1降低(P<0.05);与B组比较,A组大鼠血清中BGP降低、TGF-β1含量升高(P<0.05)。与C组比较,B组大鼠血清Ca水平明显降低(P<0.05);与B组比较,A组大鼠血清Ca水平明显升高(P<0.05)。差异均有统计学意义。结论蛇床子素能够有效通过调节大鼠体内激素分泌改善去卵巢大鼠的骨代谢异常,提高骨密度,对骨质疏松症起到一定的防治作用。     

野生型胃肠道间质瘤的研究进展

胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)是最常见的消化道间叶组织来源肿瘤,约10%的GIST患者分子检测无KIT/PDGFRA基因突变,称为野生型GIST。根据是否有琥珀酸脱氢酶B(SDHB)表达缺失,野生型GIST可分为SDH缺陷型和非SDH缺陷型,SDH缺陷型包括无综合征相关性、Carney三联征相关性及Carney-stratakis综合征相关性GIST;非SDH缺陷型包括BRAF突变、Ⅰ型神经纤维瘤病相关性、K/N-RAS突变及四重野生型GIST等。野生型GIST的发生发展、临床病理特征和治疗原则均与KIT或PDGFRA突变的GIST有较大差异。本文就野生型GIST的分子机制和临床诊疗进展做一综述。     

Regulated expression of virulence gene mviN provides protective immunity and colonization control of Salmonella in poultry

Current live attenuated vaccines for control of Salmonella in poultry persist in the ceca and may persist in the environment. In this paper we report the construction and characterization of the vaccine efficacy of a Salmonella mutant strain with inducible mviN expression and rapid clearance from the host. The mutant was effective in oral immunization of the broiler chicken host against a virulent Salmonella oral challenge strain, having a mean 7 × 10⁶ CFU/g in the ceca of unvaccinated controls compared to a mean 2 × 10³ CFU/g in the ceca of vaccinated chickens at 4 weeks post-challenge (6 weeks of age). The mutant strain also demonstrated immunogenicity, reduced organ colonization, and rapid clearance in broiler chickens within 3 weeks of inoculation.     

DNA vaccine encoding the moonlighting protein Onchocerca volvulus glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Ov-GAPDH) leads to partial protection in a mouse model of human filariasis

River blindness, caused by the filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus, is a major socio-economic and public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa. In January 2015, The Onchocerciasis Vaccine for Africa (TOVA) Initiative has been launched with the aim of providing new tools to complement mass drug administration (MDA) of ivermectin, thereby promoting elimination of onchocerciasis in Africa. In this context we here present Onchocerca volvulus glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Ov-GAPDH) as a possible DNA vaccine candidate. We report that in a laboratory model for filariasis, immunization with Ov-GAPDH led to a significant reduction of adult worm load and microfilaraemia in BALB/c mice after challenge infection with the filarial parasite Litomosoides sigmodontis. Mice were either vaccinated with Ov-GAPDH.DNA plasmid (Ov-pGAPDH.DNA) alone or in combination with recombinantly expressed Ov-GAPDH protein (Ov-rGAPDH). During the following challenge infection of immunized and control mice with L. sigmodontis, those formulations which included the DNA plasmid, led to a significant reduction of adult worm loads (up to 57% median reduction) and microfilaraemia (up to 94% reduction) in immunized animals. In a further experiment, immunization with a mixture of four overlapping, synthetic Ov-GAPDH peptides (Ov-GAPDHpept), with alum as adjuvant, did not significantly reduce worm loads. Our results indicate that DNA vaccination with Ov-GAPDH has protective potential against filarial challenge infection in the mouse model. This suggests a transfer of the approach into the cattle Onchocerca ochengi model, where it is possible to investigate the effects of this vaccination in the context of a natural host–parasite relationship.     

不同TGF-β表达量的hAMSCs尾静脉移植对异种周围神经移植小鼠坐骨神经功能的影响

目的探讨不同转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)表达量的人羊膜间充质干细胞(hAMSCs)尾静脉移植对异种周围神经移植小鼠坐骨神经功能的恢复作用。方法从健康剖宫产产妇志愿捐献的新鲜羊膜中分离出hAMSCs,并进行纯化及鉴定。构建上调和下调TGF-β表达的慢病毒质粒,并转染纯化的hAMSCs,构建出稳定的上调或下调TGF-β表达的hAMSCs。分离并剪去C57BL/6小鼠的部分坐骨神经,将SD大鼠的坐骨神经分离剪取并移植至小鼠的坐骨神经缺损处,构建出异种周围神经移植小鼠模型。将模型小鼠按随机数字表分为对照组、未修饰的hAMSCs治疗组、高表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组、低表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组,每组10只。各组于造模前1 d分别经尾静脉注射磷酸盐缓冲液或相应的hAMSCs重悬液进行移植治疗。于治疗后第14天时采用DigGait步态分析系统评估各组小鼠的坐骨神经功能恢复情况。结果治疗后第14天时,高表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组小鼠的坐骨神经功能指数(-25.820±0.286)明显高于低表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组(-33.413±0.920)和未修饰的hAMSCs治疗组(-30.755±0.421),差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论高表达TGF-β的hAMSCs尾静脉移植能够更有效地改善异种周围神经移植小鼠的坐骨神经功能,其可能成为周围神经损伤治疗的新突破口。     

免疫检查点抑制剂治疗少见突变非小细胞肺癌疗效的研究进展

驱动基因的发现及针对驱动基因的靶向治疗已显著提高了肺癌患者的生存质量和时间，但目前对于BRAF、HER2、MET、RET等少见驱动基因改变肺癌患者的靶向药物的选择仍然较少。近年来免疫检查点抑制剂在肺癌治疗中取得了一定的疗效，但因为少见驱动基因突变的肺癌患者本身样本量少，开展大规模临床随机对照试验尚存在一定的困难，目前此类患者接受免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的疗效情况仍不明确。本文将对目前已掌握的免疫检查点抑制剂治疗BRAF、HER2、MET、RET等少见驱动基因改变肺癌患者的临床研究结果进行综述，以期在一定程度上为临床工作提供一些依据和参考。     

Translocation between chromosome 5q35 and chromosome 11q13 – an unusual cytogenetic finding in a primary refractory acute myeloid leukemia

Cytogenetic abnormalities are observed in approximately two‐thirds of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Chromosome rearrangements are associated with specific subtypes of AML and associated prognosis. We report a patient with AML, M2, who was primarily refractory to standard induction chemotherapy with idarubicin and cytarabine. Flow cytometry of a bone marrow aspirate showed aberrant expression of B‐cell markers including CD19. Cytogenetic studies disclosed a translocation between 5q35 and 11q13. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses demonstrated that neither the NSD1 nor MLL genes were involved in this case. Further study is required to define conclusively the genes involved and their contribution to pathogenesis in this case.     

β-胡萝卜素立体异构体对环磷酰胺处理小鼠免疫功能的比较研究

就β-胡萝卜素立体异构体对环磷酰胺处理小鼠的免疫功能影响进行了比较研究。结果显示β-胡萝卜素立体异构体对外磷酰胺造成的免疫功能低下具有不同程度的改善作用，提高胸腺和脾脏指数，增强脾脏细胞对刀豆素A（ConA）的反应性和NK活性，血清溶菌酶含量也有所增加。综合各项指标，9-顺式和全反式混合物的作用最明显，提示一定浓度的9-顺式对于提高β-胡萝卜素对机体的总体作用是有一定意义的。
