Point mutation in the band 4.2 gene associated with autosomal recessively inherited erythrocyte band 4.2 deficiency

Abstract: A patient who represented acute hemolytic crisis was studied. Analysis of the erythrocyte membrane proteins by SDS-PAGE revealed a deficiency of band 4.2. In the family, the sister of the patient who had been clinically normal was also shown to be deficient in band 4.2. Binding studies showed that the propositus' membranes were able to bind normal band 4.2 protein as much as control. It was suggested that the binding sites for the protein were prepared on the membrane. We analyzed the band 4.2 cDNA of the propositus and detected a mutation that changes a codon for alanine to one for threonine at residue 142. Band 4.2 exon III of genomic DNA which included the mutation site was amplified and sequenced directly in the family members, and it was revealed that only the homozygotes of the mutation allele manifested band 4.2 deficiency and the parents, who were heterozygotes, showed normal amounts of band 4.2. Recently, the same mutation was reported as Protein 4.2^NIPPON in another 4 cases (Bouhassira et al. Blood 1992: 79: 1846–1854). This study supports the hypothesis that this mutation is the pathogenetic cause of band 4.2 deficiency and not a polymorphism.

背景 上肢运动功能障碍是脑卒中后常见的后遗症之一,严重影响患者日常生活能力。重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）作为常见的神经电生理技术对治疗脑卒中后上肢运动功能障碍有较好的疗效,但临床对不同rTMS干预模式的选择仍缺乏循证依据。目的 采用网状Meta分析方法比较rTMS的4种模式对脑卒中后上肢运动功能障碍患者的临床疗效。方法 计算机检索PubMed、Embase、Cochrane Library、Web of Science、中国生物医学文献数据库、中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普网中有关rTMS治疗脑卒中后上肢运动功能障碍的随机对照试验,并通过追溯Meta分析的参考文献作为补充。检索时间均为建库至2022年2月,采用主题词和自由词结合方式进行。2名研究者进行文献筛选、资料提取及质量评价。采用RevMan 5.0软件和Stata 16.0软件进行统计学分析。结果 最终纳入17篇文献,790例患者,共涉及6种干预措施：高频rTMS(HF-rTMS)、低频rTMS(LF-rTMS)、间断性theta节律刺激（iTBS）、连续性theta节律刺激（cTBS）、假刺激、常规疗法。网状Meta分析结...

Sputum induction as a research tool for the study of human respiratory mucus

The study objectives were to compare in vitro transportability and physical properties of respiratory mucus, obtained invasively by direct collection (DC) right after endotracheal intubation and non-invasively by sputum induction with 3% hypertonic saline solution inhalation (SI) 24 h before the anesthesia. Twenty-two patients with no pulmonary disease scheduled for elective abdominal surgical procedures were studied. The parameters analyzed and the main results are as follows. (1) Transportability by cilia (MCT), SI was higher than DC (0.94+/-0.25 and 0.62+/-0.25; P<0.001). There was a significant correlation between the two methods and DC could be estimated by: DC=0.21+(0.44 SI) (r=0.44; P<0.001). (2) Transportability by cough (CC), SI was higher than DC (68.23+/-32.1 and 33.58+/-19.04 mm; P=0.002). (3) Contact angle (CA), SI was lower than DC (10+/-3 degrees and 22+/-14 degrees ; P=0.025). (4) Rheological properties (no significant difference obtained between SI and DC). These results indicated that SI changes mucus physical properties and transportability in non-expectorators.     

凋亡抑制蛋白XIAP和促凋亡因子Smac在胰腺癌化疗抵抗中的作用

目的探讨x-相关凋亡抑制蛋白（XIAP）和促凋亡因子Smac在胰腺癌细胞化疗抵抗中的作用，以及转染胞浆表达型Smac基因靶向下凋XIAP对化疗药物诱导的胰腺癌细胞凋亡的影响。方法应用流式细胞术检测顺铂、5-FU介导的Panc-1、BXPC-3的凋亡率及胞浆染色分析细胞XIAP表达变化，Western blot分析XIAP、Smac、Caspase-3表达水平；构建pEGFP-NI／Smac真核表达载体并转染胰腺癌Panc-1细胞，流式细胞术检测转染Smac基因前后Panc-1细胞的凋亡敏感性。结果与BXPC-3细胞相比，Panc-1对顺铂或5-FU介导的凋亡具有较强抵抗性，Western blot分析显示Panc-1细胞高表达XIAP，在化疗药物作用下化疗敏感细胞BXPC-3胞浆内XIAP水平下降明显多于Panc-1细胞，而且凋亡的BXPC-3细胞释放入胞浆内的成熟Smac蛋白水平明显高于Panc-1细胞。转染胞浆表达型Smac基因至化疗抵抗Panc-1细胞，可明显下调其XIAP表达水平，促进效应Caspase-3分子活化，显著提高顺铂、5-FU诱导的细胞凋亡率。结论胰腺癌细胞XIAP的表达水平下调与其化疗敏感性有关，XIAP是克服化疗抵抗的重要靶分子，而上调Smac活性蛋白的胞浆表达作为一种有效调节信号，通过拮抗XIAP的凋亡抑制作用协同化疗药物促进胰腺癌细胞凋亡。     

Anti-AT1R autoantibodies and prediction of the severity of Covid-19

The stimulation of AT1R (Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1) by Angiotensin II has, in addition to the effects on the renin-angiotensin system, also pro-inflammatory effects through stimulation of ADAM17 and subsequent production of INF-gamma and Interleukin-6. This pro-inflammatory action stimulate the cytokine storm that characterizes the most severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We studied the effect of AT1Rab on the AT1R on 74 subjects with SARS-CoV-2 infection with respiratory symptoms requiring hospitalization. We divided the patients into 2 groups: 34 with moderate and 40 with severe symptoms that required ICU admission. Hospitalized subjects showed a 50% reduction in the frequency of AT1Rab compared to healthy reference population. Of the ICU patients, 33/40 (82.5%) were AT1Rab negative and 16/33 of them (48.5%) died. All 7 patients positive for AT1Rab survived. These preliminary data seem to indicate a protective role played by AT1R autoantibodies on inflammatory activation in SARS-CoV-2 infection pathology.
