Uroscopy in the 21st century: high-field NMR spectroscopy

From the experiments described, it can be seen that there are different research approaches that can be taken and these are summarized in Table 1. Whereas much scientific research is principally hypothesis led, there remains, nevertheless, an important place for exploratory research. High resolution NMR can measure, directly and simultaneously, a wide range of endogenous metabolites in biological fluids and has the unique capability of providing structural information on the metabolites detected. It has proved to be a powerful research tool with which to study inherited metabolic diseases, renal disease, drug metabolism, and toxicity, and can be used to monitor the effects of drug therapy. For instance, by using a library of experimental toxins one can map the metabolic profile of site-specific nephron injury. With this approach in man one could eventually take an unknown disease such as Balkan nephropathy and predict the initial site of tubular injury, the mode of injury and therefore the kind of toxin capable of producing that injury. NMR spectroscopic techniques are still advancing rapidly, with ever increasing sensitivity and sophistication of NMR pulse sequences to enhance structural elucidation in complex mixtures. Given the advances in directly coupled HPLC-NMR and even HPLC-NMR-mass spectroscopy it is likely that these technologies in conjunction with pattern recognition will make major contribution to our understanding of renal processes and provide new diagnostic insights in the 21st century.

Effects of Ginsenosides on Vasodilator Nerve Actions in the Rat Perfused Mesentery are Mediated by Nitric Oxide

This study was designed to explore the effect of ginsenosides, saponins from Panax ginseng, on the vasodilator nerve actions in the rat perfused mesentery and the mechanism of this effect. In the rat perfused mesentery, when adrenergic nerves were blocked by guanethidine (5 × 10^?6 M) and vascular muscle tone was increased with methoxamine (5 × 10^?6-10^?5 M), transmural field stimulation produced a frequency-dependent vasodilator response, which is due to the release of calcitonin generelated peptide; ginsenosides significantly suppressed this vasodilator response in a concentration-dependent manner (3–30 μg mL^?1). After pretreatment with saponin (50 μg mL^?1, 3min) to damage endothelial cells, this suppressing effect of ginsenosides was unaltered. However, the effect was abolished by N^ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (10^?4 M), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis and addition of l -arginine (3 × 10^?4 M) restored this suppressing effect. Methylene blue (10^?5 M), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, also abolished the suppressing effect of ginsenosides. However, ginsenosides did not alter the relaxation responses caused by exogenous calcitonin gene-related peptide administration. We conclude that ginsenosides can produce an inhibitory effect on the vasodilator response prejunctionally in the rat perfused mesentery and that this effect of ginsenosides may be mediated by nitric oxide released from non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic nerves.     

恶性疟P190抗原保守区Ⅰ、Ⅴ基因的亚克隆及在大肠杆菌中高效表达

作者采用PCR方法克隆了我国海南省FCC1/HN株P190抗原两个保守区基因,分别定名为P190CRI和P190CRV。基因片段经纯化后连接到pUC18载体中进行DNA序列分析,结果显示:除了P190CRV中有5个碱基变换外,其余序列均与MAD20型序列一致。经序列分析的两个基因片段分别与pGEX-2T载体连接,经双酶切鉴定后转化感受态JM109(DE_3)大肠杆菌进行高效融合表达,并且用Sepharose 4B-谷胱甘肽层析柱进行亲和纯化,结果为:两个插入基因片段均得到高效融合表达,经一步亲和纯化后就取得高纯度的重组蛋白。

105Changes in Nitric Oxide Levels After Deep Dermal injury in the Female,Red Duroc Pig (FRDP)

Introduction : Hypertrophic scar is a devastating sequel to burns and other tangential skin injuries. It follows deep dermal injuries and does not occur after superficial injuries. Nitric oxide (NO) plays many important roles in wound healing from inflammation to scar remodeling. Studies have shown that expression of nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide production are decreased in human hypertrophic scar. However little is known about NO involvement in the early stages of hypertrophic scarring, because of the lack of an animal model. It was recently reported that the female red Duroc pig (FRDP) makes thick scar, which is similar to human hypertrophic scar. We hypothesized that NO production in wounds on the female, red Duroc pig is similar to that of human hypertrophic scar and that NO involvement in deep wounds is different from that in superficial wounds. Methods : Superficial (0.015” to 0.030”) and deep (0.045” to 0.060”) wounds were created on the backs of four FRDPs. Biopsies were collected at weeks 1.5, 4, 8 and 21 post wounding including samples of uninjured skin. Nitric oxide levels were measured with the Griess reaction assay and normalized with tissue protein level. Results : Superficial wounds healed with an invisible scar whereas the deep wounds healed with scar resembling mild hypertrophic scar. The thickness of the scars from the deep wounds was significantly greater than uninjured skin and healed superficial wounds (p < 0.01). NO levels were increased at 1.5 weeks in deep wounds compared to superficial wounds and uninjured skin (p < 0.05). At 8 weeks, NO levels in deep wounds had returned to the level of uninjured tissue and superficial wounds. By 21 weeks, NO levels had decreased significantly when compared to superficial wounds (p < 0.01). There were no differences in NO levels between uninjured skin and superficial wounds at any time point (p > 0.05). Conclusions : NO production is similar in late, deep wounds on the female, red Duroc pig to that reported in the literature for human hypertrophic scar further validating this animal model. NO production is quite different after deep wounds as compared to superficial wounds in the FRDP. Early elevation in nitric oxide production might account for excessive inflammation in deep wounds that become thick scars in the FRDP. Nitric oxide regulators and effects at early stages of scar formation should be elucidated further and the FRDP appears to be a useful model.
