Cytokine dysregulation in the post-Q-fever fatigue syndrome

The post-Q-fever fatigue syndrome (QFS) (inappropriate fatigue, myalgia and arthralgia, night sweats, changes in mood and sleep patterns) follows about 20% of laboratory-proven, acute primary Q-fever cases. Cytokine dysregulation resulting from chronic immune stimulation and modulation by persistence of Coxiella burnetii cells or their antigens is hypothesized. We studied cytokine release patterns of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with various ligands in short- term culture, from 18 patients with active QFS, and 27 controls: six with resolving QFS, five who had had acute primary Q-fever without subsequent QFS, eight healthy Q-fever vaccinees and eight healthy subjects without Q-fever antibody. Conditioned media (CM) from PBMC stimulated in short-term culture with Q-fever antigens, PHA or measles antigen (as an unrelated antigen) were assayed for IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL- 6, IL-10 and IFN gamma by AgEIA, and for IL-1 and TNF alpha/beta by bioassay. Aberrant cytokine release patterns were observed with PBMC from QFS patients when stimulated with Q-fever antigens: an accentuated release of IL-6 which was significantly [p = 0.01, non-parametric one- way analysis of variance (ANOVA)] in excess of medians for all four control groups. With IL-2, the number of responders in the active QFS group was decreased relative to control groups (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.01) whereas the number of IFN gamma responders was increased (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.0008). Significant correlations were observed between concentrations of IL-6 in CM, total symptom scores, and scores for other key symptoms.      

以眼部症状为首发的额、筛囊肿16例临床分析

目的：探讨以眼部症状为首发的额、筛囊肿的诊断及经鼻内镜手术治疗的疗效。方法：回顾性分析2006—02—2008—03期间收治的16例额、筛囊肿患者的临床资料。结果：16例患者中鼻窦MRI及CT检查诊断符合率为100％。14例患者经鼻内镜手术治疗后眼部症状消失,2例好转。随访3～6年,至今均无复发,疗效满意。结论：鼻窦与眼眶关系密切,鼻窦病变患者常首诊于眼科;MRI及CT检查结果对确诊很有价值。对于以眼部症状为主症的额、筛囊肿患者应及早确诊;鼻内镜手术治疗是安全有效的首选治疗方法。     

Birth weight,childhood body mass index,and height in relation to mammographic density and breast cancer: a register-based cohort study

Introduction

High breast density, a strong predictor of breast cancer may be determined early in life. Childhood anthropometric factors have been related to breast cancer and breast density, but rarely simultaneously. We examined whether mammographic density (MD) mediates an association of birth weight, childhood body mass index (BMI), and height with the risk of breast cancer.

Methods

13,572 women (50 to 69 years) in the Copenhagen mammography screening program (1991 through 2001) with childhood anthropometric measurements in the Copenhagen School Health Records Register were followed for breast cancer until 2010. With logistic and Cox regression models, we investigated associations among birth weight, height, and BMI at ages 7 to 13 years with MD (mixed/dense or fatty) and breast cancer, respectively.

Results

8,194 (60.4%) women had mixed/dense breasts, and 716 (5.3%) developed breast cancer. Childhood BMI was significantly inversely related to having mixed/dense breasts at all ages, with odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) ranging from 0.69 (0.66 to 0.72) at age 7 to 0.56 (0.53 to 0.58) at age 13, per one-unit increase in z-score. No statistically significant associations were detected between birth weight and MD, height and MD, or birth weight and breast cancer risk. BMI was inversely associated with breast cancer, with hazard ratios of 0.91 (0.83 to 0.99) at age 7 and 0.92 (0.84 to 1.00) at age 13, whereas height was positively associated with breast cancer risk (age 7, 1.06 (0.98 to 1.14) and age 13, 1.08 (1.00 to 1.16)). After additional adjustment for MD, associations of BMI with breast cancer diminished (age 7, 0.97 (0.88 to 1.06) and age 13, 1.01 (0.93 to 1.11)), but remained with height (age 7, 1.06 (0.99 to 1.15) and age 13, 1.09 (1.01 to 1.17)).

Conclusions

Among women 50 years and older, childhood body fatness was inversely associated with the breast cancer risk, possibly via a mechanism mediated by MD, at least partially. Childhood tallness was positively associated with breast cancer risk, seemingly via a pathway independent of MD. Birth weight was not associated with MD or breast cancer in this age group.     

Antidiarrhoeal activity of leaf methanolic extract of Rauwolfia serpentina

Objective

To evaluate the antidiarrhoeal property of methanol extract of the leaves of Rauwolfia serpentina (R. serpentina) in experimental diarrhoea induced by castor oil in mice.

Methods

Doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg R. serpentina leaf methanol extracts were administered to castor oil induced diarrhoea mice to determine its antidiarrhoeal activity.

Results

All doses of the extract and the reference drug atropine sulphate (3 mg/kg, i.p.) produced a dose-dependent reduction in intestinal weight and fluid volume. The extracts also significantly reduced the intestinal transit in charcoal meal test when compared to diphenoxylate Hcl (5 mg/kg, p.o.).

Conclusions

The results show that the extract of R. serpentina leaves has a significant antidiarrhoeal activity and supports its traditional uses in herbal medicine.

Biochemical and pharmacological characterization of AZD1981, an orally available selective DP2 antagonist in clinical development for asthma

Background and Purpose

The discovery of DP₂ as a second receptor for PGD₂ has prompted the search for antagonists as potential novel therapies based on the associations between PGD₂ and disease. Here we describe the biochemical and pharmacological properties of 4-(acetylamino)-3-[(4-chlorophenyl)thio]-2-methyl-1H-indole-1-acetic acid (AZD1981), a novel DP₂ receptor antagonist.

Experimental Approach

Binding to DP₂, functional receptor pharmacology and selectivity were studied in both human and animal systems.

Key Results

AZD1981 displaced radio-labelled PGD₂ from human recombinant DP₂ with high potency (pIC₅₀ = 8.4). Binding was reversible, non-competitive and highly selective against a panel of more than 340 other enzymes and receptors, including DP₁ (>1000-fold selective). AZD1981 inhibited DP₂-mediated shape change and CD11b up-regulation in human eosinophils, shape change in basophils and chemotaxis of human eosinophils and Th2 cells with similar potency. AZD1981 exhibited good cross-species binding activity against mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit and dog DP₂. Evaluation in mouse, rat or rabbit cell systems was not possible as they did not respond to DP₂ agonists. Agonist responses were seen in guinea pig and dog, and AZD1981 blocked DP₂-mediated eosinophil shape change. Such responses were more robust in the guinea pig, where AZD1981 also blocked DP₂-dependent eosinophil emigration from bone marrow.

Conclusions and Implications

AZD1981 is a DP₂ antagonist that blocks functional responses in eosinophils, Th2 cells and basophils. It exhibited similar potency irrespective of the cell type, DP₂ agonist or species used. This selective orally active agent is currently under clinical evaluation as a potential therapeutic agent in respiratory diseases including asthma.

目的：探讨能谱CT虚拟平扫(VNC)替代常规平扫在肾癌中的临床应用价值。方法回顾分析32例经病理证实为肾癌的患者影像资料,均行能谱CT常规平扫及动脉期、静脉期能谱成像(GSI),采用MSI软件生成动脉期VNC和静脉期VNC图像。分别测量3组图像(常规平扫、动脉期VNC、静脉期VNC)肾脏病灶的CT值、病灶-正常肾脏的对比噪声比(CNR),同层面病灶的长径、橫径,采用单因素方差分析;由2位放射科医师对3组图像分别行5分制图像质量主观评分,3分制影像学征象主观评分,对2位医师评价结果的一致性行Kappa 检验,对3组图像的图像质量主观评分行单因素方差分析。结果2位医师对3组图像评价结果的一致性较好(Kappa 值均>0.700);3组图像间图像质量主观评分无统计学差异(P>0.05);影像学征象主观评分动脉期 VNC为2.88±0.34,静脉期VNC为2.84±0.37,均可接受。3组图像的CNR分别为0.52±0.11、0.72±0.16、0.69±0.12,动脉期VNC、静脉期 VNC的对比噪声比(CNR)均高于常规平扫,有统计学差异(P<0.05)。3组图像同层面病灶的长径和横径无统计学差异(P>0.05)。3组图像肾脏病灶的CT值分别为(30.04±4.09)HU、(32.69±4.07)HU、(32.56±3.52)HU,有统计学差异(P<0.05),常规平扫病灶的CT值低于动脉期 VNC和静脉期 VNC,但差值均在5 HU内。结论在肾癌检查中 VNC能替代常规平扫,可减少患者的扫描次数,降低辐射剂量。
