胎牛血清外泌体对成骨细胞增殖的作用

背景:研究表明外泌体具有促进骨再生的能力,但从胎牛血清中提取的外泌体是否可以促进骨形成仍存在争议。目的:观察胎牛血清外泌体对成骨细胞增殖能力的影响,从而为临床治疗骨破坏提供新思路。方法:通过超速离心法从胎牛血清中提取外泌体,采用透射电子显微镜和Western blot法验证外泌体是否提取成功;然后用10 mg/L胎牛血清外泌体干预成骨前体细胞MC3T3-E1,通过CCK-8实验检测外泌体对成骨细胞增殖能力的影响,Western blot检测外泌体对成骨细胞骨形态发生蛋白2和骨桥蛋白表达的影响。以不含外泌体的胎牛血清培养的MC3T3-E1细胞为对照组。结果与结论:①胎牛血清外泌体具有典型的脂质双层膜结构,大小在30-150 nm之间,外泌体表面标记因子CD81表达呈阳性,而微囊表面标记物CD40表达呈阴性;②外泌体组的增殖能力明显高于对照组,差异有显著性意义(P<0.05);外泌体组成骨标志性因子骨形态发生蛋白2和骨桥蛋白的表达水平明显高于对照组,差异有显著性意义(P<0.05);③结果表明,胎牛血清外泌体对成骨细胞的增殖起促进作用,可为临床治疗骨破坏提供新思路。     

老年大鼠的海马神经元对微量注射Ach的敏感性

本工作观察了老年大鼠海马神经元对微量注射Ach(10μg/0.5μl)的敏感性。 实验在6只老年大鼠(大于30月龄)和5只年青大鼠(4～5月龄)上进行。结果表明:年青大鼠和老年大鼠的海马神经元对Ach的主要反应模式有所不同,前者多出现神经元放电明显增加的兴奋反应。后者多出现抑制反应,神经元的放电明显减少。此外,老年大鼠的海马神经元对Ach反应的持续时间(包括兴奋和抑制反应)也明显长于年青大鼠。本文对海马神经元敏感性和适应能力的改变可能是影响老年记忆的重要因素进行了讨论。     

Olfactory marker protein is present in olfactory receptor cells of human fetuses

Light microscopic observations indicated that cellular differentiation of the primary olfactory pathway in human fetuses was relatively advanced by the end of the first trimester. However, immunohistochemical staining showed that olfactory marker protein was present in the receptor cells only at about 28 weeks post-conception. At about 32 weeks, modest amounts of the protein could be found in the peripheral olfactory nerve layer and a few glomeruli, with increased staining observed in subsequent weeks. The results show conclusively that human fetal olfactory neurons synthesize olfactory marker protein during the later half of gestation.

Phylogeny of Vibrio cholerae based on recA sequence

We sequenced a 705-bp fragment of the recA gene from 113 Vibrio cholerae strains and closely related species. One hundred eighty-seven nucleotides were phylogenetically informative, 55 were phylogenetically uninformative, and 463 were invariant. Not unexpectedly, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus strains formed out-groups; we also identified isolates which resembled V. cholerae biochemically but which did not cluster with V. cholerae. In many instances, V. cholerae serogroup designations did not correlate with phylogeny, as reflected by recA sequence divergence. This observation is consistent with the idea that there is horizontal transfer of O-antigen biosynthesis genes among V. cholerae strains.

Prospective study of community-acquired rotavirus infection.

We determined titers of group A rotavirus common antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against serotypes 1 to 4 of prototype human rotavirus (HRV) in cord blood and serum specimens obtained from 38 infants at 4-month intervals from birth until 2 years of age. Nineteen of the infants developed one episode of HRV diarrhea each, and they were matched by age and birth weight with the other 19 infants, who did not develop HRV diarrhea during the follow-up period. We estimated the incidence rate of HRV infection for the two groups of infants combined to be a minimum of 1.34 episodes per infant per year, which is 22 times more common than the occurrence of overt disease caused by the virus in this community. The infection occurred constantly throughout the first 2 years of infancy, whereas all but one of the 19 episodes of overt disease occurred before 12 months of age. Seven of these overt episodes were preceded by at least one episode of subclinical infection earlier, and the other seven were probably due to primary HRV infection. The remaining five episodes occurred before 4 months of age, so that we could not ascertain whether they were due to primary infections because of the presence of maternal antibodies. We showed that levels of HRV antibodies in serum specimens obtained before clinical onset of diarrhea varied widely, and, for most infants in the diarrheal group, levels of these antibodies were similar to those in the serum specimens obtained at the same times from the corresponding age- and birth weight-matched control infants. Nevertheless, the age at which overt disease caused by HRV was most prevalent coincided with the time when the maternal antibodies had declined to low levels but the infants had not yet acquired high titers of these antibodies in their sera.     

新鲜羊膜致I型超敏反应的变应原性研究

研究新鲜人羊膜的变应原性及其致敏后发生I型超敏反应的可能性。建立豚鼠全身主动过敏实验模型。分新鲜羊膜组、新鲜蛋清组(阳性对照)和PBS液组(阴性对照),每组10只豚鼠。观察豚鼠在致敏期和激发后的反应,采用化学荧光法检测外周血组胺含量,血液流变分析系统检测4项血液流变学指标(全血高切变率黏度、全血低切变率黏度、血浆黏度、红细胞聚集指数)。致敏期间各组豚鼠的体重变化无明显差别(P>0.05);激发后羊膜组豚鼠与阴性组表现一致,无异常反应;羊膜组外周血组胺含量及4项血液流变学指标均与阴性对照无明显差别(P>0.05),与阳性对照有显著性差异(P<0.01)。经规范化无菌处理后的新鲜羊膜,一般不具有变应原性,不会引起I型超敏反应。     

The Helix aspersa (brown garden snail) allergen repertoire

BACKGROUND: Ingestion of snails can induce strong asthmatic or anaphylactic responses, mainly in house-dust-mite-sensitized patients. The aim of this study was to identify the Helix aspersa (Hel a), Theba pisana (The p) and Otala lactea (Ota l) allergens and the extent of their cross-reactivity with the Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) mite. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 60 atopic patients, skin prick tests (SPT) to snail and D. pteronyssinus, total and specific IgE, specific IgE immunoblots, RAST and immunoblot inhibition assays were performed. RESULTS: Mean total IgE was >1,000 kU/l. Mean specific IgE (class 6 for Der p and class 2 for Hel a) SPT were positive in 44 patients for snail and in 56 for mite. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) and SDS-PAGE followed by immunoblotting of H. aspersa extract enabled the identification of 27 and 20 allergens, respectively. Myosin heavy chains from snails (molecular weight >208 kDa) disclosed two major allergens. Hel a and Der p RAST were strongly inhibited by their homologous extracts, with Hel a RAST being inhibited by the Der p extract to a much greater extent (72.6%) than the inverse (5.6%). A complete inhibition of the immunoblots by their homologous extract was obtained. However, Hel a extract did not inhibit Der p IEF separated recognition. On the other hand, mite extract extensively inhibited snail immunoblots from both IEF and SDS-PAGE separations. Immune detection on chicken, pig, rabbit, cow and horse myosins did not reveal any IgE cross recognition with snail. CONCLUSIONS: In most cases of snail allergy, mite appeared to be the sensitizing agent. Nevertheless, snails may also be able to induce sensitization by themselves. This hypothesis is supported by the finding of specific IgE to Hel a in 2 patients who did not show specific IgE to Der p, and one of them was suffering from asthma after snail ingestion.
