Immunohistochemical localization of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI-1), a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor, in Alzheimer''s disease

Senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are composed principally of Aβ, a 4 kDa fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Longer forms of APP which contain a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor (KPI) domain are elevated in aged and in AD brains. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI) contains three tandem KPI domains and has been well characterized for its role as a natural anticoagulant in the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Functionally, the first two KPI domains of TFPI bind and inhibit the activity of factor Xa and VIIa respectively. In addition, TFPI and APP-KPI share a common clearance mechanism through the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). As part of an ongoing study of the role of KPI-containing proteins in AD, the current study examines TFPI localization in the brain. We report here that TFPI is immunohistochemically localized to microglia in both AD and non-AD individuals and is localized to some senile plaques in AD. Western blot analyses indicate that the amount of TFPI is elevated in frontal cortex samples from AD brains. We propose that TFPI may play a cell specific role in proteinase regulation in the brain.

Role of β2 integrins in glomerular leucocytes in Henoch-Schoenlein purpura nephritis: an age-matched comparative study with immunoglobulin A nephropathy

SUMMARY: A comparative immunohistological study was performed for the glomerular deposition of complements (C1q and C3c), fibrin/fibrinogen‐related antigen (FRA), the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), and the infiltration of leucocytes bearing β₂ integrins (leucocyte function associated antigen‐1 (LFA‐1), complement receptor 3 (CR3) and complement receptor 4 (CR4)) on renal biopsy specimens from 49 cases with Henoch‐Schoenlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), and 49 age‐matched cases with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). the glomerular expression of ICAM‐1 was signifcantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of leucocyte function associated antigen (LFA)‐1⁺ leucocytes in both diseases, and with that of CR3⁺ leucocytes in HSPN. the expression of ICAM‐1 was closely localized with the infiltration of LFA‐1⁺ leucocytes in the study with double immunostaining. the incidence and intensity of glomerular deposition of FRA were significantly higher in HSPN than in IgAN (P< 0.001), and those of C3c were significantly lower in HSPN than in IgAN (P< 0.001). the glomerular deposition of FRA was significantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of CR4⁺ leucocytes in HSPN (P<0.05) but not in IgAN. In contrast, the glomerular deposition of C3c was significantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of CR4⁺ leucocytes in IgAN (P<0.05), but not in HSPN. Studies with double immunostaining revealed a close association of CR4⁺ leucocytes with FRA deposition in HSPN and with C3c deposition in IgAN, respectively. the number of glomerular leucocytes bearing β₂ integrins was significantly correlated with urinary protein at the time of renal biopsy in both diseases. These results suggested the differential roles of β₂ integrins in the induction of glomerular injury in HSPN and IgAN. the ICAM‐1/LFA‐1 interaction may commonly be involved in the glomerular infiltration of leucocytes in both diseases. the ICAM‐1/CR3 interaction may be involved only in HSPN. Complement receptor 4 may function as a fibrin/fibrinogen receptor in HSPN, while CR4 may function as a complement receptor in IgAN.

"Chronic painter''s syndrome". A reanalysis of psychological test data in a group of diagnosed cases, based on comparisons with matched controls

Twenty solvent-exposed workers, most of them painters, had been diagnosed as cases of toxic encephalopathy in 1978/79. Two years later they were re-examined with an extensive battery of neuropsychological tests. Their performance was unchanged on retesting. We have now compared their test results with those of non-exposed control subjects. Previous impressions of significant intellectual impairment in the solvent-exposed patients could not be confirmed when the influence of age, education, and intelligence was taken into consideration. The present group with presumed toxic encephalopathy is assumed to be representative of other patients who were similarly diagnosed in our department. The presently reanalyzed cases had been diagnosed as brain damaged and reported as such in the literature. Thus, they may have contributed to the formation of the concept of the "chronic painters' syndrome" with dementia.

Five different tests of reaction time evaluated in HIV seropositive men

In an attempt to develop a short neuropsychological test battery five different tests of reaction time were assessed according to their ability to discriminate between HIV seropositive men and healthy controls. In all tests a patient group with clinical symptoms was slower than the control group. In the complex reaction time test, which has a large cognitive aspect, even a clinically "asymptomatic" group was slower than the control group. The movement test, a new test with a large motor component, identified most slow responders, defining approximately half of the patients with clinical symptoms and one third of the "asymptomatic" patients as such. A test battery consisting of three tests is suggested for serial assessment and screening.     

幽门螺杆菌cagA菌株感染对IL-8蛋白在胃癌组织中表达的影响

目的 探讨胃癌组织中HpcagA菌株感染对IL-8蛋白表达的影响。方法 采用流式细胞技术，对27例胃癌及相应的癌旁正常组织中IL-8蛋白的表达进行定量检测，用PCR法，对27例胃癌组织中HpcagA基因进行扩增。结果 27例胃癌组织中中，有25例（92%）可明显表达IL-8蛋白；而相应的癌旁正常组织中，基本没有IL-8蛋白的表达或仅有弱相应的癌旁正常组织中，基本没有IL-8蛋白的表达或仅有弱表达，HpcagA感染的胃癌组织中，IL-8的表达水平为64.27%，高于未感染HpcagA的胃癌组织（39.86%)。结论 IL-8在胃癌组织中的高表达与HpcagA感染有关。即HpcagA菌株感染可上调IL-8在胃癌组织中的表达水平。
