乙型肝炎病毒前S1抗原检测及其临床意义

为探讨检测乙型肝炎病毒前S1抗原(Pre-S1Ag)的临床意义,本文对338例各型乙型肝炎患者进行Pre-S1Ag检测,同时检测HBV标志物和HBV-DNA,对其阳性率及相互关系进行分析比较.结果表明:338例患者,Pre-S1Ag阳性检测率为63.02%,HBeAg阳性检测率为48.52%,HBV-DNA阳性检测率为68.05%.Pre-S1Ag阳性与HBV-DNA阳性的符合率为78.56%;Pre-S1Ag与HBeAg阳性的符合率为81.17%;Pre-S1Ag与HBeAg、HBV-DNA具有显著相关性(P＜0.01),提示Pre-S1Ag能够较好地反映病毒复制状况,有可能作为体内病毒复制存在的实验室指标.

Opa相互作用蛋白5在胰腺癌中的表达及其对PANC-1细胞增殖的影响

目的探索Opa相互作用蛋白5(OIP5)在胰腺癌中的表达及其对PANC-1细胞增殖的影响。方法通过数据库分析OIP5在胰腺癌组织及癌旁组织中的表达;用实时定量PCR(RT-qPCR)和蛋白印迹法(Western blot)分别检测人胰腺癌细胞系MIAPaCa-2、PANC-1、KP-3、BxPC-3细胞中OIP5 mRNA和蛋白表达;构建OIP5基因沉默质粒的慢病毒(pGCSIL-shOIP5)和对照质粒慢病毒(pGCSIL-shCtrl),分别感染PANC-1细胞,分为OIP5基因沉默组和shCtrl对照组,5 d后采用RT-qPCR和Western blot测定慢病毒敲低效率,流式细胞计量术检测细胞凋亡;OIP5基因沉默组和shCtrl对照组连续5 d进行MTT检测和细胞计数;OIP5基因沉默组和shCtrl对照组孵育10 d形成集落,Giemsa染色分别集落总数。结果胰腺癌中OIP5 mRNA表达显著高于正常胰腺组织(P<0.05),OIP5高表达患者的总存活率显著低于OIP5低表达患者(P<0.05),且其无病生存率也显著降低(P<0.05);OIP5在MIAPaCa-2、PANC-1和KP-3中表达较高,而在BxPC-3细胞系中的表达较低;MTT检测结果显示OIP5沉默在第4和第5天显著降低了PANC-1细胞的增殖速率(P<0.01);OIP5沉默后细胞集落数(平均为9个)显著低于shCtrl对照组中的数量(平均为40个)(P<0.01);OIP5沉默后PANC-1细胞凋亡比例为8.3%显著高于shCtrl的4.5%(P<0.01)。结论OIP5在胰腺癌细胞系中异常高表达,OIP5基因可调控胰腺癌PANC-1细胞的增殖、凋亡以及集落形成,提示OIP5可能在胰腺癌发病机制中作为癌基因发挥作用,从而为胰腺癌的靶向治疗提供了潜在的生物标志物。

NF-κB哑铃形诱骗剂ODN对骨髓瘤细胞生长及IL-6表达的抑制作用

目的设计合成靶向NF-κB的哑铃形诱骗剂ODN,分析靶向NF-κB的哑铃形诱骗剂对NF-κB转录活性、多发性骨髓瘤细胞8266的生长及其分泌的IL-6的抑制效应。方法采用电泳迁移率变动分析(EMSA)体外检测诱骗剂ODN对NF-κB转录活性的抑制效应。将8266细胞随机分为传代培养的8266细胞组;诱骗剂ODN处理组及脂质体处理组。通过阳离子脂质体以2mg/L、4mg/L、8mg/L不同剂量诱骗剂ODN转染8266细胞。转染后8、12、18h,ELISA法检测8266细胞培养上清中IL-6的表达。用MTT比色检查诱骗剂ODN对IL-6刺激的8266细胞生长的影响。结果硫代磷酸的诱骗剂ODN在体外能有效地抑制NF-κB与其顺式元件的结合;2mg/L、4mg/L、8mg/L等不同浓度的脂质体-ODN复合物对8266细胞表达IL-6的抑制程度不同。脂质体-ODN复合物对8266细胞的生长及IL-6的活性均有抑制作用。结论靶向NF-κB的诱骗剂ODN在体外可抑制NF-κB的转录活性,从而抑制8266细胞的生长,降低瘤细胞中IL-6的表达。     

细菌对噬菌体感染的抵抗

噬菌体对其宿主菌具有特异性感染力,反之,宿主菌对噬菌体的感染具有抵抗现象.根据噬菌体侵入宿主的不同阶段,可以将宿主菌对噬菌体的天然抵抗机制分为4个主要的类别吸附抑制,流产感染,限制-修饰系统和穿入阻滞.此外,还有源于噬菌体的抗性作用以及通过人工插入突变获得的广谱噬菌体抗性菌株等.     

Effect of platelet-derived growth factor on the development and persistence of asbestos-induced fibroproliferative lung disease.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) isoforms and PDGF receptor-alpha are upregulated in fibroproliferative lesions in response to asbestos exposure. To examine the functional role of PDGF in asbestos-induced lung disease, we have evaluated the impact of PDGF-B overexpression in the lung on the development of pulmonary fibrosis induced by asbestos inhalation. Transgenic mice expressing PDGF-B from the surfactant protein C promoter and wild-type C57BL/6 mice were exposed to aerosolized chrysotile asbestos fibers via three different exposure regimens: 3 consecutive days to 9 mg/m(3), once a week for 5 weeks to 12 mg/m(3), or once a week for 8 weeks to 11 mg/m(3). The 3-day exposure did not produce fibroproliferative lesions in SPC-PDGFB or wild-type mice, indicating that PDGF expression did not increase susceptibility to a subthreshold dose of asbestos. Transgenic and wild-type mice subjected to the 5-week exposure protocol exhibited similar fibrogenic lesions histologically 48 hours and 8 weeks postexposure, but lungs from transgenic mice had elevated lung hydroxyproline content 8 weeks postexposure relative to wild-type mice. In addition, SPC-PDGFB transgenic mice developed pronounced thickening of arterioles following the 5-week exposure regimen. Mice exposed to asbestos for 8 weeks and examined 10 months later showed pronounced, diffuse fibrotic lesions of terminal bronchioles and alveolar ducts, but no histological differences between transgenic and nontransgenic mice were observed. These results indicated that PDGF-B overexpression can stimulate increased collagen deposition and vascular smooth muscle hyperplasia following asbestos inhalation and that a limited exposure (8 times) to chrysotile aerosol can produce long-lasting fibrotic lesions. The 8-week exposure regimen provides an animal model that encompasses an important aspect of human asbestosis-i.e., persistence of fibrosis for long periods after cessation of asbestos exposure.

34例鹿角形肾结石手术取石的疗效观察

目的探讨肾下极肾盂肾盏联合切开术治疗复杂性鹿角形肾结石的疗效。方法回顾性分析采用肾下极肾盂肾盏联合切开术式治疗复杂性鹿角形肾结石34例临床资料。手术方法:分离肾窦内肾盂后,用1-0肠线在肾后唇中下1/3连接处紧贴肾盂肾盏表面缝合肾实质2针,中间尖刀切开肾实质,然后弧形切开肾盂及肾下盏,用神经剥离子将结石与肾盂肾盏粘膜粘连分离后,取石钳夹住结石轻轻撬出。盏颈狭窄者必要时先用气压弹道碎石器将其在分支处击断。4-0肠线缝合肾盂及肾下盏,再用2-0肠线间断全层缝合肾实质切口数针,包膜层用4-0肠线缝合。结果34例均一次性取净结石。术中平均出血量约90ml。术后无大出血病例。结论肾下极背侧肾实质与肾盂联合切开取石术具有术中出血少,无须阻断肾蒂,肾功能受损轻,便于一次取尽结石等优点。适合于肾窦内肾盂特别是肾下盏盏颈相对狭窄的复杂性鹿角形肾结石的治疗。
