Lyme disease: recommendations for diagnosis and treatment

The incidence and the endemic range of Lyme disease in the United States have increased steadily since the disease was originally recognized in Lyme, Connecticut, in 1975. Because of the varied clinical manifestations of this illness and the use of unstandardized serologic testing methods, diagnosis is often uncertain and treatment outcomes are often difficult to evaluate. The antibiotic regimens that are commonly used in clinical practice have changed rapidly. They show much regional variation with little critical comparison of treatment results. The clinical diagnosis and the literature on the treatment of the various stages of Lyme disease are reviewed. The reported data are supplemented with recommendations based on 15 years of clinical experience with this illness.     

Induction of monocyte chemotaxis in devascularized rabbit bone

Summary Temporary impairment of blood supply has been suggested to cause bone remodeling. The degradation of cells and matrix and the attraction of resorbing cells were examined in this study. Bone specimens of rabbits were stored in vitro for 2–20 days. At the end of this aging process the probes were tested for their chemotactic activity toward autologous leukocytes in a diffusion chamber. Both supernatant from the aged bone specimens and ground bone particles exhibited significant chemotactic activity that was specifically attracting monocytes. It is suggested that soluble bone matrix proteins or degeneration products liberated during ischemic damage to cortical bone initiate the resorptive process.This work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, grant no. 3.857.0.83, and by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes

肺炎链球菌β-内酰胺酶TEM基因的发现

目的：探讨肺炎链球菌是否产β-内酰胺酶。方法：对2002年9月至2003年4月在苏州大学附属儿童医院就诊的呼吸道感染患儿痰标本中分离到的23株肺炎链球菌进行β-内酰胺酶TEM基因PCR检测与PCR扩增产物直接测序分析。结果：23株肺炎链球菌经TEM基因PCR检测21株阳性，阳性率达91．3％。测得1号菌株(SR001)基因序列为TEM-1型，已登录美国国立生物信息中心，注册号：AY392531。结论：从肺炎链球菌中检出β-内酰胺酶TEM基因。肺炎链球菌对青霉素耐药机制包括产β-内酰胺酶。     

Auditory event-related magnetic fields in a tone-duration discrimination task. Source localization for the mismatch field and for a new component M2"

Auditory event related magnetic fields were measured using an odd-ball paradigm in which the rare event was a tone of short duration, D2, and the frequent one a tone of longer duration, D1. The subjects were required to attend to and count the number of rare stimuli. In the average across target stimuli a mismatch field (MMF) occurs and the dependence of the MMF, especially its latency, on the tone duration D2 is examined in detail. The location of an equivalent current dipole for the MMF-source is found and turns out to be at variance with earlier results. In addition to the MMF we propose a new component, here called MMF, which in time overlaps the magnetic equivalent of the P200 signal and which has a source location (equivalent current dipole) lying rather close to the MMF-source. The two sources are, however, active at latencies differing by a time equal to D2. We speculate that MMF indicates the onset of the process: "evaluation of tone-duration" while the MMF indicates the end of this process.     

CYP17A1基因新突变致17α-羟化酶/17,20-裂解酶部分性缺陷症

目的研究1例17α-羟化酶/17,20-裂解酶部分性联合缺陷症患者CYP17A1基因突变特点,并结合患者的临床表现与基因突变类型初步探讨P450C17酶蛋白的结构与功能的关系。方法收集1例17α-羟化酶/17,20-裂解酶部分性联合缺陷症患者的临床资料及其亲属血标本,提取基因组DNA,设计7对引物扩增CYP17A1基因的8个外显子及外显子与内含子的连接区域,琼脂糖凝胶电泳鉴定PCR产物,产物胶回收后直接做为DNA双链模板测序。DNA双链模板不一致的PCR产物经克隆后测序。测序结果在核苷酸序列数据库进行比较分析。结果患者CYP17A1基因突变检测结果为5994-5995delAT/7541C>T复合杂合子。这两种突变均未见报道。推测5994-5995delAT导致I259H,274X,突变形成的截短蛋白质缺少血红素结合区域,因此是没有功能的;而通过人类P450C17酶计算机模型分析显示7541C>T导致的A398V远离酶的活性中心,推测突变可能使酶的活性减弱,而不是完全地丧失。患者临床表现为有自发不规则月经及轻度高血压、低血钾,结合激素测定结果提示肾上腺和性腺保留部分功能。因而患者的基因型与其临床表型是一致的。结论应进行突变P450C17酶的功能学研究来进一步明确结构改变对功能的影响。
