Modulation of IgG effector functions by a monovalent fragment of staphylococcal protein A

The monovalent V-1 fragment of protein A (fSpA) with a mol. wt of 13,000 obtained from an u.v. mutant of Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I strain was proved to be able to modulate significantly some of the effector functions of IgG, such as complement fixation, catabolism, attachment to Fc receptors and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Moreover fSpA-like protein A obtained from the A676 strain is mitogenic and enhances NK activity of human peripheral lymphocytes. The efficiency of fSpA was found to be lower than that of protein A with regard to its ability to inhibit complement fixation, EA rosette formation and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Both protein A and fSpA had the same efficiency in activation of the complement system after reaction with human or guinea pig IgG, and in increasing the IgG catabolism. Unlike fSpA the monovalent B fragment of protein A (with mol. wt of 7000) was not able to inhibit EA rosette formation and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The results recommend fSpA, substituting for protein A, as a molecular probe for the investigation of IgG antibody and lymphocyte effector functions.     

Safety and efficacy of oral nemonoxacin versus levofloxacin in treatment of community-acquired pneumonia: A phase 3, multicenter,randomized, double-blind,double-dummy,active-controlled,non-inferiority trial

Background/Purpose

Nemonoxacin is a novel nonfluorinated quinolone with excellent in vitro activity against most pathogens in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), especially Gram-positive isolates. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of nemonoxacin compared with levofloxacin in patients with CAP.

Additive Antinociception between Intrathecal Sildenafil and Morphine in the Rat Formalin Test

The possible characteristics of spinal interaction between sildenafil (phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor) and morphine on formalin-induced nociception in rats was examined. Then the role of the opioid receptor in the effect of sildenafil was further investigated. Catheters were inserted into the intrathecal space of male Sprague-Dawley rats. For induction of pain, 50 µL of 5% formalin solution was applied to the hind-paw. Isobolographic analysis was used for the evaluation of drug interaction between sildenafil and morphine. Furthermore, naloxone was intrathecally given to verify the involvement of the opioid receptor in the antinociception of sildenafil. Both sildenafil and morphine produced an antinociceptive effect during phase 1 and phase 2 in the formalin test. The isobolographic analysis revealed an additive interaction after intrathecal delivery of the sildenafil-morphine mixture in both phases. Intrathecal naloxone reversed the antinociception of sildenafil in both phases. These results suggest that sildenafil, morphine, and the mixture of the two drugs are effective against acute pain and facilitated pain state at the spinal level. Thus, the spinal combination of sildenafil with morphine may be useful in the management of the same state. Furthermore, the opioid receptor is contributable to the antinocieptive mechanism of sildenafil at the spinal level.     

Anticocaine catalytic antibodies

Cocaine mediates its reinforcing and toxic actions through a "loss of function" effect at multiple receptors. The difficulties inherent in blocking a pleiotropic blocker pose a great obstacle for the classical receptor-antagonist approach and have contributed to the failure (to date) to devise specific treatments for cocaine overdose and addiction. As an alternative, we have embarked on an investigation of catalytic antibodies, a programmable class of artificial enzyme, as "peripheral blockers" -- agents designed to bind and degrade cocaine in the circulation before it partitions into the central nervous system to exert reinforcing or toxic effects. We synthesized transition-state analogs of cocaine's hydrolysis at its benzoyl ester, immunized mice, prepared hybridomas and developed the first anticocaine catalytic antibodies with the capacity to degrade cocaine to nonreinforcing, nontoxic products. We subsequently identified several families of anticocaine catalytic antibodies and found that the most potent antibody possessed sufficient activity to block cocaine-induced reinforcement, organ dysfunction and sudden death in rodent models of addiction, toxicity and overdose, respectively. With the potential to promote cessation of use, prolong abstinence and provide a treatment for acute overdose, the artificial enzyme approach comprehensively responds to the problem of cocaine.     

Electrospun P(LLA-CL) nanofiber: a biomimetic extracellular matrix for smooth muscle cell and endothelial cell proliferation

Poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) [P(LLA-CL)] with L-lactide to epsilon-caprolactone ratio of 75 to 25 has been electrospun into nanofibers. The relationship between electrospinning parameters and fiber diameter has been investigated. The fiber diameter decreased with decreasing polymer concentration and with increasing electrospinning voltage. The X-ray diffractometer and differential scanning colorimeter results suggested that the electrospun nanofibers developed highly oriented structure in CL-unit sequences during the electrospinning process. The biocompatibility of the nanofiber scaffold has been investigated by culturing cells on the nanofiber scaffold. Both smooth muscle cell and endothelial cell adhered and proliferated well on the P(LLA-CL) nanofiber scaffolds.     

慢性乙型肝炎肝内HBV DNA和HBsAg的双标记定位研究

应用原位杂交和免疫组化PAP法双标记技术,结合病人乙型肝炎(乙肝)病毒血清学标志物检测结果,研究了31例慢性乙肝病人肝穿刺组织中乙型肝炎病毒DNA(HBV DNA)和HBsAg的分布及意义。结果显示,肝组织内检出HBV DNA 23例,HBsAg 26例,二者同时检出者21例。从同组病人肝组织内HBV DNA和HBsAg双标检测结果与其乙肝病毒血清学标志物检测结果的比较来看,肝组织内HBV DNA和HBsAg同时阳性很可能表明HBV正处于复制及表达的活动状态。
