Nucleotide changes around the splicing acceptor of intron 24 in the factor VIII gene and its impact on splicing.

Nucleotide 6724 of the factor VIII gene harbors a polymorphism of low frequency. A report from Taiwan claimed that 97.9% of the 83 alleles examined were of the A nucleotide at this position, which is quite different to the data from Western populations. Furthermore, this nucleotide is the start of exon 25, located in juxtaposition to the splicing acceptor of intron 24. We wonder if the nucleotide change at this location might have any effect on the splicing process of pre-mRNA. Using genomic DNA with direct sequencing of the polymerase chain reaction-amplified intron 24/exon 25 junction site, we found that 59 of the 60 patient samples were of the GTG sequence at nucleotides 6724-6726. The polymorphism is similar between populations in Taiwan and Western countries. The sequence of intron 24 around the splicing acceptor was always TCCAACTCTATTGCCCTCAG (-20 to -1), except for one hemophiliac patient who had a mutation in which the absolute consensus AG doublet of the intron 24 splicing acceptor changed to the AA dinucleotide. Owing to the mutation, exon 24 was erroneously spliced to exon 26, and exon 25 was skipped. This finding further testifies to the importance of the invariant AG dinucleotide in the example of the factor VIII gene.

常温与低温体外循环心脏直视手术对细胞因子及补体的影响

目的探讨常温及低温体外循环心脏直视手术对细胞因子及补体的影响。方法选择先天性和风湿性心脏病患者40例,随机分为常温组及低温组各20例,分别于术晨、体外循环结束时及术后1、4、7、14 d抽取患者静脉血标本,测定血浆TNF、IL-2、C3、C4值。结果两组术前各项检查指标无显著差异。(1)两组术后1~4 d的IL-2水平较术前显著下降,至术后7 d恢复正常。体外循环结束至术后4 d,低温组IL-2显著低于常温组。(2)体外循环结束时以及术后1、4、7 d,常温组TNF水平显著低于低温组。两组体外循环结束时及术后1、4 d均高于术前,常温组至术后7 d、低温组术后14 d恢复正常。(3)体外循环结束时及术后1、7 d,常温组C3水平高于低温组,术后4 d两组无差别;常温组及低温组于体外循环结束时、术后1、4 d均低于术前,至术后7 d常温组恢复正常,低温组至术后14 d恢复至术前水平。(4)两组体外循环结束时及术后1、4 d C4水平均低于术前。体外循环结束时、术后1 d,常温组C4水平高于低温组。结论常温体外循环心脏直视手术对细胞因子及补体的影响显著轻于低温组,因而对术后机体的恢复优于低温方法。     

A technique for surgical treatment of infected wounds based on photodynamic and ultrasound therapy

This work considers two technologies for treatment of infected wounds in clinics. Particular emphasis was placed on the PUS technology developed in our laboratory. High efficacy of this method encourages us to continue its development. A number of improvements will be made in the future. In addition, development of PUS BTS and research into its efficacy will be continued. The results of this research will be reported in the future. __________ Translated from Meditsinskaya Tekhnika, Vol. 40, No. 6, 2006, pp. 18–24.     

Effect of the immunomodulant ximedone on the pharmacokinetics of isonicotinic acid hydrazide in the human organism

The pharmacokinetics of isonicotinic acid hydrazide upon joint administration with the immunomodulant ximedone has been investigated. Ximedone influences the genetically determined parameters of the isonicotinic acid hydrazide pharmacokinetics. The dose-dependent and temporal schedules of ximedone administration in humans are established, which favor the induction of acetylation processes in patients. __________ Translated from Khimiko-Farmatsevticheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 40, No. 3, pp. 3–6, March, 2006.

Malignant external otitis: insights into pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapy

Malignant external otitis is an infection of the external ear canal, mastoid, and base of the skull caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The condition occurs primarily in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. Current theories on pathogenesis and anatomic correlations are reviewed. Severe, unrelenting otalgia and persistent otorrhea are the symptomatic hallmarks of the disease, whereas an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate is the only distinctive laboratory abnormality. Iatrogenic causes such as administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics and aural irrigation may play a predisposing role in high-risk populations. The disease can result in cranial polyneuropathies (with facial nerve [VII] paralysis being the most common) and death. The mainstay of treatment is administration of antipseudomonal antibiotics for four to eight weeks. Recurrence is common, and mortality remains at about 20 percent despite antibiotic therapy. Given the increasing longevity of diabetic patients, the frequency of this disease is increasing. Internists, family practitioners, and ambulatory care physicians must now be cognizant of the presenting symptoms, while infectious disease specialists and otolaryngologists need to be appraised of strides in diagnosis and therapy. The role of surgery should be minimized. Use of new diagnostic radiologic modalities and new antipseudomonal antibiotics discussed in this review should lead to improved outcome.
