缺血性卒中复发与幽门螺杆菌感染的相关性

目的 探讨缺血性卒中复发与幽门螺杆菌（HP）感染的关系。方法 随机将77例首次卒中发作时HP阳性患者分为抗HP治疗组和对照组，观察其复发情况。同时观察139例首次卒中HP阴性患者复发时HP感染情况。结果 39例HP阳性患者经抗HP治疗后复发率为15．4％，38例HP阳性虱未抗感染治疗复发率为39．4％，139例首次卒中时HP阴性患者卒中复发率为24．5％（P＜0．05）；在33例首次卒中发作HP阴性者在复发时，其HP检测阳性者21例，阳性率为63．4％（P＜0．05）。结论 HP感染是缺血性卒中复发的独立危险因素，积极防治HP感染可以减少卒中发作。

中药“口康”含漱液体外抑菌试验和毒性试验研究

OBJECTIVE: To study the antibacterial activity of Chinese medicine kou-Kang mouthwash and its acute toxicity, and provide the basis of experiment and therapy for infectious diseases of the oral cavity. METHODS: Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of kou-Kang mouthwash were determined by the agar dilution method, and the acute toxicity was done. RESULTS: The range of MIC kou-Kang mouthwash against 27 Gram negative bacterial were 0.03-1.0 g.ml-1. MIC50 was 0.125 g.ml-1 and MIC90 was 0.125-0.5 g.ml-1. The range of MIC kou-Kang mouthwash against 21 Gram positive bacterial was 0.008-0.5 g.ml-1. The range of MIC50 and MIC90 were 0.015-0.125 g.ml-1 and 0.015-0.5 g.ml-1, respectively. The value of MIC was 0.015 g.ml-1 against candidia albicans. The acute toxic test indicated that the maximum tolerance dose was 417.6 g.kg-1 and 210 times as much as the clinical dose a day. No death of animals or toxicity and side-effect occurred in the test. CONCLUSION: Kou-Kang mouthwash shows a potent antibacterial activity against various pathogens of the oral cavity. Its antibiotic activity against Gram positive bacteria was 2-8 times stronger than that against Gram negative bacteria. It has low toxicity and can be used in clinical application.

c-myc is required for osteoclast differentiation.

The role of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) ligand (RANKL)-a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related cytokine-in osteoclast formation has been established clearly. However, the downstream signaling pathways activated by this cytokine remain largely unknown. To identify genes that play a role in osteoclastogenesis, we used RAW 264.7 mouse monocytes as a model system for the differentiation of multinucleated osteoclasts from mononucleated precursors. RAW 264.7 cells were induced with RANKL to form multinucleated giant osteoclast-like cells (OCLs) that expressed a number of osteoclast-specific markers and were able to form resorption pits on both calcium phosphate films and bone slices. This system was used to identify genes that are regulated by RANKL and may play a role in osteoclast differentiation. The proto-oncogene c-myc was strongly up-regulated in RANKL-induced OCLs but was absent in undifferentiated cells. Expression of Myc partners Max and Mad, on the other hand, was constant during OCL differentiation. We expressed a dominant negative Myc in RAW 264.7 cells and were able to block RANKL-induced OCL formation. Northern Blot analysis revealed a delay and a significant reduction in the level of messenger RNA (mRNA) for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K. We conclude that c-myc is a downstream target of RANKL and its expression is required for RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.     

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase isoforms are differentially inhibited by leucovorin: characterization and comparison of recombinant zebrafish serine hydroxymethyltransferases.

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) provides activated one-carbon units required for the biosynthesis of nucleotides, protein, and methyl group by converting serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and N(5),N(10)-methylenetetrahydrofolate. It is postulated that SHMT activity is associated with the development of methotrexate resistance and the in vivo activity of SHMT is regulated by the binding of N(5)-CHO-THF, the rescue agent in high-dose methotrexate chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to advance our understanding of the folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism in zebrafish by characterizing zebrafish mitochondrial SHMT. The cDNA encoding zebrafish mitochondrial SHMT was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and purified with a three-step purification protocol. Similarities in structural, physical, and kinetic properties were revealed between the recombinant zebrafish mitochondrial SHMT and its mammalian orthologs. Surprisingly, leucovorin significantly inhibits the aldol cleavage of serine catalyzed by zebrafish cytosolic SHMT but inhibits to a lesser extent the reaction catalyzed by the mitochondrial isozyme. This is, to our knowledge, the first report on zebrafish mitochondrial folate enzyme as well as the differential inhibition of leucovorin on these two SHMT isoforms. Western blot analysis revealed tissue-specific distribution with the highest enrichment present in liver for both cytosolic and mitochondrial SHMTs. Intracellular localization was confirmed by confocal microscopy for both mitochondrial and cytosolic SHMTs. Unexpectedly, the cytosolic isoform was observed in both nucleus and cytosol. Together with the previous report on zebrafish cytosolic SHMT, we suggest that zSHMTs can be used in in vitro assays for folate-related investigation and antifolate drug discovery.
