Primary study of iontophoresis of zinc ion in treatment of retinitis pigmentosa

We report here the preliminary effects of zinc iontophoresis in treatment of 26 Rp patients who had decreased zinc serum level or abnormal ratio of serum copper to zinc. Through more than 20 to 30 times of therapy, the vision of 15.38% eyes increased more than "3 lines", 4% eyes increased more than 5 degrees in the visual field, 13.46% eyes improved in dark adaptation threshold (greater than 1.0), the visual functions of the rest eyes were slightly improved or unimproved. The fundus didn't change before & after treatment. There were no changes of ERG in 8 eyes of 4 cases. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages between Zn iontophoresis and Zn compound taken orally, the improvement of vision by direct electric current therapy, the relationship between the metabolism of Zn element and Vit A and influence of Zn over the mechanism of dark adaptation were also briefly discussed.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of a neurovirulent Zika virus isolated from Cambodia in 2019

The geographic range of Zika virus (ZIKV) has expanded from Asia to the Americas, leading to the 2015–2016 pandemic with enhanced neurovirulence. At present, ZIKV is continuously circulating in many Southeast Asian countries. Unfortunately, the persistent evolution of ZIKV in Southeast Asia and its influence on the biological characteristics of the virus remain incompletely understood. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo properties of a new ZIKV isolate obtained from Cambodia in 2019 (CAM/2019) were characterized and compared with those of the Cambodian strain (CAM/2010). Compared with CAM/2010, the CAM/2019 virus showed similar plaque morphology and growth curves in cell cultures and induced comparable viremia and organ viral loads profiles in both BALB/c and A129 (IFNAR1^−/−) mice upon intraperitoneal (i.p.) inoculation. Remarkably, the CAM/2019 virus exhibited enhanced neurovirulence in neonatal mice compared with CAM/2010, with a 74-fold reduction in the 50% lethal dose (LD₅₀). Consistently, CAM/2019 produced higher viral loads in the brains of BALB/c neonatal mice than CAM/2010 did. Sequence alignment showed that the CAM/2019 virus has acquired 12 amino acid substitutions, several of which were found to be associated with neurovirulence. In particular, the CAM/2019 virus shared an A1204T substitution in NS2A with the Thai isolate SI-BKK02 that was isolated from a microcephaly case. Taken together, our results indicate that a ZIKV strain isolated with specific mutations has emerged in Cambodia, highlighting the need for extensive molecular and disease surveillance in Cambodia and other Asian countries.

Simultaneous Construct Surface Microstructural and Internal Network-Like Conductive Pathways of Poly(l-lactic acid)/Carbon Nanomaterials Composite Foams

The poly(l -lactic acid) (PLLA)/carbon nanomaterials composite foams with hierarchical surface microstructural and internal conductive pathways are successfully prepared by a simple crystallization-assisted rapid phase separation (CARPS). The dimension and morphology of carbon nanomaterials can induce different crystallization forms to construct the hierarchical surface microstructure, and they are distributed on the phase interface of solvent and non-solvent to form conductive pathways. It is found that the heterogeneous nucleation of nanomaterials promotes a significant increase in crystallinity, and a stacked granular structure formed on the surface promotes the increase of the water contact angle to 148.7°. Foams with interconnecting pore structures contribute to the formation of 85.3% porosity and 12.33 g g⁻¹ oil absorption. Carbon nanomaterials are distributed on the pore walls of the porous foam, which converts the foam from an insulating material to a conducting polymer. Furthermore, the uniform distribution of nanomaterials significantly affects the thermal stability of the PLLA. In belief, the multifunctional biodegradable foam, prepared by a CARPS method, makes it promising for industrial production and has potential applications in electrical conductivity, oil-water separation, and many other fields.     

Purification of thrombospondin from human platelets

Summary Thrombospondins are a rapidly growing family of adhesive proteins that have diverse activities to modulate cellular growth, motility, and gene expression. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP) was the first identified member of this family and is the major form of thrombospondin in human platelets. A method is described to prepare TSP from human platelets in biologically active form with minimal degradation or contamination with other platelet proteins.     

Ionic and haemodynamic changes influence the release of the excitatory amino acid glutamate in the posterior hypothalamus

The push-pull technique was used to investigate the release of the excitatory amino acid glutamate in the posterior hypothalamic area of the conscious rat. The hypothalamus was superfused through the pushpull cannula with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the superfusate was collected in time periods of 10 min when ionic conditions in the CSF were changed, or in short periods of 3 min when blood pressure changes were evoked. The mean glutamate release rate was 2.8 + 0.7 pmol/min. Depolarization by hypothalamic superfusion with CSF containing 50 mM K⁺ enhanced the release of glutamate in the presence of Ca²⁺. The K⁺-induced release was attenuated by 40% when the hypothalamus was superfused with Ca²⁺-free CSF. Replacement of Ca²⁺ by Mg²⁺ abolished the K⁺-induced release of glutamate. Hypovolaemia elicited by haemorrhage enhanced the release rate of glutamate. Similarly, a hypotension elicited by i.v. injection of chlorisondamine (3 mg/kg) led to a pronounced and permanent enhancement in glutamate release. The effects of hypovolaemia and chlorisondamine on glutamate release were abolished in aortic denervated rats, indicating that this response is due to a decrease of impulse generation in baroreceptors. A hypovolaemia elicited by blood infusion did not affect the release of glutamate. Similarly, a pronounced pressor response to phenylephrine (15 /kg per minute) infused intravenously for 9 min was ineffective.The results show that the K⁺-induced release of glutamate in the hypothalamus is dependent on the presence of Ca²⁺. The increase in glutamate release rate by hypovolaemia or chlorisondamine suggests that the glutamatergic neurons in the posterior hypothalamic area respond to unloading of aortic baroreceptors and possess a counteracting, hypertensive function.
