Rigid membranes of Malayan ovalocytes: a likely genetic barrier against malaria

A high frequency of nonhemolytic hereditary ovalocytosis in Malayan aborigines is thought to result from reduced susceptibility of affected individuals to malaria. Indeed, Kidson et al. recently showed that ovalocytes from Melanesians in Papua New Guinea are resistant to infection in culture by the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. In order to determine if protection against parasitic invasion in these ovalocytes might be the result of some altered membrane material property in these unusual cells, we measured their membrane and cellular deformability characteristics using an ektacytometer . Ovalocytic red cells were found to be much less deformable in comparison to normal discoid red cells. Similar measurements on isolated membrane preparations revealed a marked reduction in ovalocytic membrane deformability. To produce equal deformation of ovalocytic and normal membranes, ovalocytes required an 8-10-fold increase in applied shear stress, indicating that their membrane was capable of deforming under sufficient stress. To test the possibility that this increased membrane rigidity might confer resistance to parasitic invasion, we performed an in vitro invasion assay using Plasmodium falciparum merozoites and Malayan ovalocytes of varying deformability from seven different donors. The level of infection of the ovalocytes ranged from 1% to 35% of that in control cells, and the extent of inhibition appeared to be closely related to the reduction in membrane deformability. Moreover, we were able to induce similar resistance to parasitic invasion in nonovalocytic normal red cells by increasing their membrane rigidity with graded exposure to a protein crosslinking agent. Our findings suggest that resistance to parasite invasion of Malayan ovalocytes is the result of a genetic mutation that causes increased membrane rigidity.     

丙肝相关性肝癌根治术后复发规律及危险因素分析

目的：分析丙肝相关性肝癌（HCV-HCC）根治术后复发规律及相关危险因素,探讨针对复发时相的个体化临床干预。 方法：回顾98例行HCV-HCC根治术的患者临床病理资料,分析患者根治术后复发规律,对复发的可能影响因素进行单因素及多因素分析,并对病毒因素进行分层分析。 结果：全组根治术后有2个复发高峰,以24个月为界分为早、晚期;COX比例风险模型分析显示,肿瘤低分化、镜下微血管侵犯为术后早期复发的独立危险因素（P<0.001）,病毒载量为晚期复发的独立危险因素（P=0.013）;术后病毒载量持续阴性患者无瘤生存期明显长于术后持续高病毒载量或病毒载量不稳定者（P<0.001）。 结论：HCV-HCC根治术后早、晚期复发影响因素不同;早期复发率较高,预防性TACE可改善早期复发高危者预后;术后抗病毒治疗可改善远期疗效。

     

CD44v6、E-cadherin和nm23-H1在子宫颈癌中的表达及意义

目的:探讨CD 44V 6、E-cadherin和nm 23-H 1蛋白表达与子宫颈癌的发生、发展及转移的关系。方法:采用免疫组化SP法检测50例子宫颈癌组织和10例正常子宫颈组织中CD 44v6、E-cadherin和nm 23-H 1蛋白的表达情况。结果:CD 44v6蛋白在子宫颈癌组织中的阳性率为66%,CD 44v6高表达与宫颈癌的组织学分级、淋巴结转移呈正相关(P<0.05及P<0.01)。E-cadherin和nm 23-H 1蛋白在宫颈癌组织中阳性表达率分别为62%和48%,显著低于正常宫颈组织(100.0%),P<0.05及P<0.01,但E-cadherin和nm 23-H 1阳性表达与宫颈癌的临床分期、组织学分级、间质浸润和淋巴结转移无关(P>0.05)。宫颈癌中CD 44v6表达与E-cadherin和nm 23-H 1表达呈负相关(P<0.01及P<0.05)。结论:在子宫颈癌中CD 44v6蛋白高表达和E-cadherin、nm 23-H 1蛋白低表达是判断宫颈癌的生物学行为的良好指标。

Wound,pressure ulcer and burn guidelines – 4: Guidelines for the management of connective tissue disease/vasculitis-associated skin ulcers

The Japanese Dermatological Association prepared guidelines focused on the treatment of skin ulcers associated with connective tissue disease/vasculitis practical in clinical settings of dermatological care. Skin ulcers associated with connective tissue diseases or vasculitis occur on the background of a wide variety of diseases including, typically, systemic sclerosis but also systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), various vasculitides and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). Therefore, in preparing the present guidelines, we considered diagnostic/therapeutic approaches appropriate for each of these disorders to be necessary and developed algorithms and clinical questions for systemic sclerosis, SLE, dermatomyositis, RA, vasculitis and APS.
