Synthesis of two biologically active fluorescent probes of thymopentin

This study reports on the synthesis of two fluorescent analogues of thymopentin (TP-5; Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr). A fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled analogue (FITC-TP-5) and a stilbene isothiocyanate labeled analogue (SITS-TP-5) were extensively purified by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Characterization of the coupling site through amino acid analysis, dansylation and N-terminal cleavage of the fluorescent amino acid yielded results which indicated that both were mono-labeled analogues derivatized at the N-terminal. These analogues were shown to be TP-5-like in nature by their ability to induce the expression of the Thy 1.2 surface marker on nude mouse prothymocytes in both in vivo and in vitro assays. In addition, these analogues were able to inhibit the specific binding of radiolabeled TP-5 to human lymphocytes. Initial studies describing the interaction of FITC-TP-5 with human lymphocytes are shown.     

人源性多肽pCM-19抗菌机制的初步研究

目的：初步分析人源性多肽pCM-19的抗菌作用机制。方法：利用荧光素掺入破损细胞膜的原理，采用流式荧光激活细胞分析（FACScan）和扫描电子显微镜分析pCM-19对靶菌膜的作用机制。结果：FACS分析法结果显示pCM-19处理后的大肠杆菌PI着染细菌比例明显高于未处理组，并且随作用时间的延长，PI着染BL-21菌比例增大，20min时达最高水平，20min以后反而降低；扫描电子显微镜观察到pCM-19处理后的大肠杆菌有明显的表面形态学的改变，如细菌体积缩小、细菌表面出现皱缩、凹陷似有孔洞形成。结论：人源性多肽pCM-19可能作用于细菌细胞壁和（或）细胞膜，通过改变其通透性而发挥杀菌作用。

Effect of morphological abnormalities on blood retinal barrier permeability in diabetic retinopathy

The morphological base for the impaired function of the blood retinal barrier was studied in 50 eyes of 10 insulin dependent and 21 non-insulin dependent patients with various levels of diabetic retinopathy. The permeability of the blood retinal barrier (P_BRB) was determined by vitreous fluorophotometry with correction for autofluorescence, lenstransmission and non-protein bound plasma fluorescein concentration. Morphological abnormalities of diabetic retinopathy assessed by fundus photography and fluorescein angiography were individually scored on a decimal scale and related to the P_BRB by multiple regression analysis. The P_brb was not correlated to morphological abnormalities of non-proliferative retinopathy [(1) microaneurysms, (2) hard exudates, (3) soft exudates, (4) intraretinal hemorrhages, (5) fluorescein leakage, and (6) capillary closure, p > 0.3]. The P_BRB was correlated to morphological abnormalities of (pre)proliferative retinopathy [(1) intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (S_irma) and (2) new vessels (S_neo): p_brb = A – B.S_IRMA – C.S_neo with P_BRB in nm/sec, A = 1.5 ± 0.5, B = 0.9 ± 0.2 and C = 1.7 ± 0.4, R² = 0.65, p < 0.0001]. It can be concluded that the increased blood retinal barrier permeability in diabetic patients is mainly due to (pre)proliferative abnormalities and not to non-proliferative abnormalities.     

Infection dynamics and virus-induced apoptosis in cell culture-based influenza vaccine production—Flow cytometry and mathematical modeling

Cell culture-based influenza vaccine manufacturing is of growing importance. Depending on virus strains, differences in infection dynamics, virus-induced apoptosis, cell lysis and virus yields are observed. Comparatively little is known concerning details of virus–host cell interaction on a cellular level and virus spreading in a population of cells in bioreactors. In this study, the infection of MDCK cells with different influenza A virus strains in lab-scale microcarrier culture was investigated by flow cytometry. Together with the infection status of cells, virus-induced apoptosis was monitored. A mathematical model has been formulated to describe changes in the concentration of uninfected and infected adherent cells, dynamics of virus particle release (infectious virions, hemagglutinin content), and the time course of the percentage composition of the cell population.

Fluorescein angiographic findings and results of laser treatment in circumscribed choroidal hemangioma

We studied retrospectively 12 eyes with a solitary choroidal hemangioma in 12 patients over a period of 13 years. A peculiar, even hyperfluorescence of the tumor within the retinal venous phases occurred in all 12 cases. In all but four patients, laser therapy was performed to reduce subretinal fluid and partially destroy the tumor. Two of the three eyes without extensive retinal detachment or cystoid macular edema at the initial visit regained a final vision of 20/30 or better. The remaining 5 patients with the two major complications had a final vision of 20/80 or worse due to degenerative retinal changes. We believe that laser treatment is definitely advisable in the early stages of a circumscribed choroidal hemangioma.The study was performed at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University of Nijmegen.     

Disorders of perfusion of the anterior segment of the eye

Background: We have investigated the vascular perfusion of a wide variety of conditions of the anterior segment using fluorescein angiography.
Methods: The conditions were classified and findings reported according to the system set out below. Patients underwent full ocular examination. Fluorescein angiography of the anterior segment was carried out when indicated to investigate iris atrophy and neovascularisation. Specular microscopy of the corneal endothelium was used to detect changes in this tissue.
Results: The hypoperfusion was variable in degree and accompanied by varying degrees of iris hypoplasia and atrophy with neovascularisation. The degree of neovascularisation depended upon its rapidity of development, the pre-existing state of vascular perfusion and the underlying pathological condition.
Conclusions: Hypoperfusion with resultant ischaemia and neovascularisation is common in conditions of the anterior segment. An understanding of the changes is valuable in treating many conditions affecting the anterior segment. The changes observed may also occur elsewhere in the physical system and may be a significant part of the ageing process, either as scattered, disparate processes or as part of a general disease process.
