Diagnostic value of bright spotty lesions on MRI after a first episode of acute myelopathy

Background and purposeTo determine the diagnostic value of bright spotty lesions (BSLs) for aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD^AQP4+), the predictive value of axial-BSLs for AQP4-IgG seropositivity, and the radio-clinical differences in NMOSD^AQP4+ patients with and without axial-BSLs.Materials and methodsRetrospective study that included patients aged ≥ 16 years, with a first acute spinal cord syndrome between 2005 and 2018 and abnormal spinal cord MRI with axial and sagittal T2 sequences. Patients with MRI findings consistent with compressive myelopathy were excluded. All spinal cord MRI were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of BSLs by 2 radiologists blinded to the diagnosis of acute myelopathy.ResultsA total of 82 patients were included; 15 aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients (NMOSD^AQP4+), and 67 other patients, considered as the other causes of myelopathy (OM) group. The specificity of axial-BSLs for NMOSD^AQP4+ patients was 94.0% (95% CI [85.6 to 97.7]). The sensitivity was 40.0% (95% CI [19.8 to 64.3]). In the multivariable analysis, the only MRI characteristic associated with AQP4-IgG positivity was the presence of axial-BSLs (OR: 9.2, 95% CI [1.2 to 72.9]; P = 0.022). In NMOSD^AQP4+ patients, the median of cord expansion ratio was higher with axial-BSL (1.2, IQR [1.1–1.3]) than without axial-BSL (1.1, IQR [1.0–1.2]; P = 0.046).ConclusionAfter a first acute spinal cord syndrome, the presence of axial-BSLs on spinal cord MRI seems very specific for NMOSD^AQP4+ and seems to be a predictor radiological marker of AQP4-IgG positivity.     

黄芪增液汤对便秘大鼠结肠AQP9的表达影响

目的:采用复方地芬诺酯灌胃建立津亏便秘大鼠模型,观察黄芪增液汤对便秘模型大鼠水通道蛋白-9(Aquaporin 9,AQP9)表达的影响。方法:健康(Sprague-Dawley,SD)大鼠50只,随机分为5组,空白组、模型组、伊托必利组、黄芪增液汤高、中、低剂量组。模型组及各治疗组采用限水+复方地芬诺酯灌胃复制津亏便秘模型,造模成功后,模型组以0.9%氯化钠注(NaCl)灌胃,每日1次。治疗组分别给予设定剂量和配比的增液汤和莫沙必利,每日1次(剂量依体质量而定),连续12天。治疗结束后,采用免疫组织化学链霉亲和素-生物素复合物(Strept Avidin-biotin Complex,SABC)法检测空白组、模型组及治疗各组AQP9在结肠的表达情况,应用彩色病理图像分析系统对阳性表达的平均光密度值(Density Mean,MD)进行半定量比较分析。结果:①AQP9在各组大鼠结肠黏膜均有表达,主要表达于杯状细胞胞膜,部分杯状细胞淡然,染色呈棕褐色,胞核无染色;②模型组AQP9表达显著降低,着色浅,MD值显著下降,与空白组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);③伊托必利组、中药高、中、低剂量组均较模型组细胞阳性表达量高,各组与空白组比较表达量低,MD值差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);④中药低、中剂量组、伊托必利组两两比较,表达量无统计学意义(P>0.05),中药高剂量组表达量较低、中剂量组、伊托必利组高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:①便秘大鼠结肠黏膜AQP9表达量显著降低,这可能是肠道液体分泌减少,导致便秘"津亏"的根源所在。②黄芪增液汤能上调便秘大鼠结肠黏膜AQP9表达,尤其以黄芪增液汤高剂量组升高明显,提示黄芪增液汤可能是以通过提高结肠AQP9表达来达到其对便秘"增液行舟"机制的。

黄芪建中汤对脾胃虚寒证胃溃疡大鼠的影响

目的探讨黄芪建中汤对脾胃虚寒证胃溃疡大鼠的影响。方法将SD大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、埃索美拉唑组(4.17 mg/kg)及黄芪建中汤低、高剂量组(9.27、18.54 g/kg)。采用番泻叶(10 m L/kg)联合游泳力竭法建立脾胃虚寒证候模型,无水乙醇(10 m L/kg)联合阿司匹林肠溶片(200 mg/kg)建立胃溃疡模型。观察并记录大鼠的整体状态、体质量、进食量、饮水量和肛温,肉眼及HE染色观察胃黏膜组织形态学损伤,测量胃液总酸度和胃蛋白酶活性,ELISA法检测大鼠血清IL-4、IL-10、NO和TNF-α水平,qRT-PCR和免疫组化法分别检测TLR-2、MyD88 mRNA及蛋白表达。结果与模型组比较,黄芪建中汤组大鼠体质量、进食量、饮水量和肛温均上升(P<0.05,P<0.01),溃疡指数下降(P<0.01),胃酸总酸度和胃蛋白酶活性均降低(P<0.01),血清TNF-α水平下降(P<0.05、P<0.01),IL-4、IL-10和NO水平上升(P<0.05、P<0.01),胃组织中TLR-2、MyD88 mRNA及蛋白表达下调(P<0.01)。结论黄芪建中汤对脾胃虚寒型胃溃疡大鼠有显著的疗效,其作用机制可能通过调节TLR-2/MyD88信号通路,影响炎性因子表达,下调黏膜攻击因子水平,从而加速胃黏膜溃疡修复。     

Drosophila ammonium transporter Rh50 is required for integrity of larval muscles and neuromuscular system

Rhesus glycoproteins (Rh50) have been shown to be ammonia transporters in many species from bacteria to human. They are involved in various physiological processes including acid excretion and pH regulation. Rh50 proteins can also provide a structural link between the cytoskeleton and the plasma membranes that maintain cellular integrity. Although ammonia plays essential roles in the nervous system, in particular at glutamatergic synapses, a potential role for Rh50 proteins at synapses has not yet been investigated. To better understand the function of these proteins in vivo, we studied the unique Rh50 gene of Drosophila melanogaster, which encodes two isoforms, Rh50A and Rh50BC. We found that Drosophila Rh50A is expressed in larval muscles and enriched in the postsynaptic regions of the glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions. Rh50 inactivation by RNA interference selectively in muscle cells caused muscular atrophy in larval stages and pupal lethality. Interestingly, Rh50-deficiency in muscles specifically increased glutamate receptor subunit IIA (GluRIIA) level and the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic potentials. Our work therefore highlights a new role for Rh50 proteins in the maintenance of Drosophila muscle architecture and synaptic physiology, which could be conserved in other species.
