The Significance of Clinical and Laboratory Features in the Diagnosis of Glycogen Storage Disease Type V: A Case Report

Glycogen storage disease type V (GSD-V) is the most common disorder of muscle glycogenosis with characteristic clinical and laboratory findings. A 32-yr-old woman complained of exercise intolerance and myoglobulinuria since early adolescence. She reported several episodes of second-wind phenomenon. Physical examination did not show any neurological abnormality, including fixed muscle weakness or atrophy. Serum creatine kinase level was 1,161 IU/L at rest. The result of the non-ischemic forearm exercise test was compatible with GSD-V. Mutation analysis identified the compound heterozygous mutations of the PYGM, p.D510fs and p.F710del, which has not yet been reported in Korea. The present case recognizes that detail clinical and laboratory analysis is the first step in the diagnosis of GSD-V.

Microbial DNA in human nucleic acid extracts: Recoverability of the microbiome in DNA extracts stored frozen long-term and its potential and ethical implications for forensic investigation

Human DNA samples can remain unaltered for years and preserve important genetic information for forensic investigations. In fact, besides human genetic information, these extracts potentially contain additional valuable information: microbiome signatures. Forensic microbiology is rapidly becoming a significant tool for estimating post-mortem interval (PMI), and establishing cause of death and personal identity. To date, the possibility to recover unaltered microbiome signatures from human DNA extracts has not been proven. This study examines the microbiome signatures within human DNA extracts obtained from six cadavers with different PMIs, which were stored frozen for 5–16 years. Results demonstrated that the microbiome can be co-extracted with human DNA using forensic kits designed to extract the human host’s DNA from different tissues and fluids during decomposition. We compared the microbial communities identified in these samples with microbial DNA recovered from two human cadavers donated to the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State University (FACTS) during multiple decomposition stages, to examine whether the microbial signatures recovered from “old” (up to 16 years) extracts are consistent with those identified in recently extracted microbial DNA samples. The V4 region of 16 S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced using Illumina MiSeq for all DNA extracts. The results obtained from the human DNA extracts were compared with each other and with the microbial DNA from the FACTS samples. Overall, we found that the presence of specific microbial taxa depends on the decomposition stage, the type of tissue, and the depositional environment. We found no indications of contamination in the microbial signatures, or any alterations attributable to the long-term frozen storage of the extracts, demonstrating that older human DNA extracts are a reliable source of such microbial signatures. No shared Core Microbiome (CM) was identified amongst the total 18 samples, but we identified certain species in association with the different decomposition stages, offering potential for the use of microbial signatures co-extracted with human DNA samples for PMI estimation in future. Unveiling the new significance of older human DNA extracts brings with it important ethical-legal considerations. Currently, there are no shared legal frameworks governing the long-term storage and use of human DNA extracts obtained from crime scene evidence for additional research purposes. It is therefore important to create common protocols on the storage of biological material collected at crime scenes. We review existing legislation and guidelines, and identify some important limitations for the further development and application of forensic microbiomics.

不同贮藏温度下苹果营养与卫生质量的变化

目的:了解苹果在不同贮藏温度下相关营养与卫生指标的变化,以指导居民合理贮藏苹果。方法:将苹果称重编号随机分成两组,分别存放在冰箱(冷藏,4℃)和室温(平均18℃,12℃～22.5℃)贮藏60 d,分别于存放第0天、3天、7天、15天、30天、45天、60天观察苹果的外观,测定其失重率、还原糖含量、可滴定酸度、维生素C含量及亚硝酸盐含量,比较两种贮藏温度下相关指标的差异。结果:与室温贮藏的苹果相比,相同时间内冷藏贮藏的苹果失重率明显较低,第15天后的维生素C含量、第45天的可滴定酸度明显较高,第15天后的亚硝盐含量明显较低,但水分含量无显著差异。室温下贮藏的苹果第7～15天开始就出现感官、营养与卫生质量的明显改变,而冷藏贮藏的苹果在第30天才出现类似的变化。结论:冷藏贮藏能减缓苹果营养物质的减少及亚硝酸盐含量的增加,室温贮藏苹果的适宜时间为15 d内,冷藏贮藏苹果的适宜时间为30 d内。     

Surface energy changes and their relationship with the dispersibility of salmeterol xinafoate powders for inhalation after storage at high RH

This study investigated the relationship between surface energy of micronized lactose, coarse lactose and salmeterol xinafoate and dispersibility from a mixture after storage at 75% RH. Surface energies, dispersibility, morphology, and the presence of amorphous domains were determined by inverse gas chromatography, twin stage impinger, scanning electron microscope and dynamic vapour sorption, respectively. The fine particle fraction of mixture decreased significantly in 4 weeks (P < 0.05), reaching a static level in 3 months. Amorphous content was not detected in the micronized lactose, coarse lactose and salmeterol xinafoate. After conditioning stored samples at 75% RH for 2 h, dispersive surface energy of both micronized and coarse lactose significantly decreased (P < 0.05), while the polar surface energy of all significantly increased (P < 0.05) resulting in significant increase in total surface energy after storage. After conditioning stored samples at 0% RH for 2 h, no significant difference was observed in any surface energy parameter. This study concluded that the total surface energy increased during storage at high RH due to the adhered surface moisture. The mechanism of decreased dispersibility was related to increased capillary/solid bridging interactions and to possible increased interaction of contiguous particles due to increased polar surface energy.     

Investigations of Platelet Function in Whole Blood with BAPA as Anticoagulant

BACKGROUND: Citrate anticoagulation of blood results in non-physiologically low calcium concentration and rapid deterioration of platelet viability. Benzylsulfonyl-D-Arg-Pro-4-amidinobenzylamide (BAPA) as anticoagulant maintains the physiological calcium level and seems to retain platelet function (PF) over a time period of at least 24 h. We evaluated PF in BAPA-anticoagulated peripheral whole blood (WB) between 0.5 and 30 h after blood collection. METHODS: In WB from 21 healthy volunteers (15 women, 6 men, age range 19-57 years) platelet aggregation (PA) was determined by impedance method and ATP release by luminometry. Platelet response was tested by ADP (10 and 20 μmol/l) and collagen (1 and 2 μg/ml) between 0.5 and 30 h after blood collection. RESULTS: Parameters of ADP-induced PA showed stable values until 6.5 h after blood collection followed by a significant decline. PA in response to collagen was stable up to 25 h of storage. ATP release induced by collagen displayed a continuous, significant decrease over time. CONCLUSION: Preservation of platelet response in BAPA-anticoagulated blood depends on the applied agonist showing that collagen-induced PA is more stable compared to ADP known as a weak agonist in WB.
