Junctional epidermolysis bullosa keratinocytes in culture display adhesive, structural, and functional abnormalities.

An unusual, elongated, refractile cell morphology was observed in keratinocytes cultured from three patients with non-lethalis forms of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB). To determine whether these changes might be related to altered cell adhesion, keratinocyte strains established from one patient were examined for adhesive, structural, and functional characteristics. JEB keratinocytes expressed keratin tonofilaments, as determined by staining with AE1 monoclonal antibodies and direct observation of tonofilaments by electron microscopy. JEB keratinocytes showed diminished cell-substratum adhesions, judged by interference reflection microscopy. Areas of diminished cell-substratum adhesion corresponded to F-actin-rich cell adhesions (focal adhesions) and not to cellular areas that abundantly express hemidesmosomal antigens. Analysis of cell-substratum adhesion by electron microscopy revealed extensive areas of cell-substratum separation in JEB keratinocytes that were not present in normal keratinocytes maintained in serum-free medium. Normal keratinocytes displayed numerous regions of focal contact between the ventral plasma membrane and the culture substratum, but these structures were not seen in JEB keratinocytes. Bundled actin filaments (stress fibers) were greatly diminished in expected regions of cell-substratum adhesion in JEB keratinocytes and, instead, displayed disorganized individual filaments. The growth rate of JEB keratinocytes was quite slow in culture, with a population doubling time of 2.7 d versus 1.5 d for normal keratinocytes under identical conditions. JEB keratinocytes also displayed a reduced ability to aggregate into colonies upon exposure to medium with increased extracellular calcium. JEB keratinocytes thus display adhesive, structural, and functional abnormalities that suggest this cell type may be central to the pathogenesis of junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Study of affected keratinocytes could be important to characterize associated molecular pathologies.     

Keratinocyte conditioned medium abrogates the modulatory effects of IGF-1 and TGF-β1 on collagenase expression in dermal fibroblasts

Overexpression of wound healing-promoting factors such as transforming growth factor-1 (TGF-beta1) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) during the healing process has been implicated in the development of dermal fibrosis in patients following thermal injury, surgical incision, and deep trauma. However, the mechanism through which the expression of these two fibrogenic factors is slowed down and/or abrogated in the late stages of the healing process is not known. Here, we hypothesize that keratinocyte-releasable factors counteract the fibrogenic role of both IGF-1 and TGF-beta1 in fibroblasts. To test this hypothesis, the levels of collagenase (MMP-1), as an index for extracellular matrix degradation, in dermal fibroblasts in response to either keratinocyte-conditioned medium (KCM) or our recently identified keratinocyte-releasable stratifin in the presence and absence of either IGF-1, TGF-beta1, or both were evaluated. The results of Northern analysis showed a significant increase in collagenase mRNA expression in cells treated with KCM in the presence of both IGF-1 and TGF-beta1. The effect was, at least in part, due to keratinocyte-derived stratifin that was present in KCM. This was ascertained as the levels of MMP-1 mRNA were markedly reduced when cells were treated with stratifin-immuno-depleted KCM. The results of Western blot analysis showed an increase in the level of MMP-1 protein in stratifin-treated fibroblasts and this was consistent with the level of MMP-1 mRNA expression detected by Northern analysis. However, in contrast to KCM, whose efficacy on MMP-1 expression was modestly reduced by either IGF-1 and TGF-beta1, or a combination of both, these factors abrogated the MMP-1 stimulatory effect of stratifin in fibroblasts. In summary, the results of this study revealed that both stratifin and KCM stimulate the expression of MMP-1-in fibroblasts and this effect can be abrogated by either IGF-1, TGF-beta1, or a combination of both.

阴茎勃起神经再生模型和机制的研究

探明神经性勃起功能障碍(NED)的分子生物学机制以期对该类疾病进行神经调控干预,是男科学研究的当务之急。本文回顾了急性神经损伤、前列腺癌、糖尿病和帕金森病所致的NED的研究进展。通过利用大鼠阴茎勃起神经的盆腔大神经节(MPG),在体外构建一个三维培养体系来研究各种生长因子和细胞信号通路对神经再生的影响。体外结果表明脑源性神经生长因子(BDNF)通过JAK/STAT信号通路可显著促进NED的恢复,并在体内证实了该效应。因此,通过调控JAK/STAT信号通路来达到神经调控干预措施预防治疗神经性勃起功能障碍成为可能。     

Development of a risk-adjusted capitation model based on principal inpatient diagnoses in Taiwan.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) program has considered the use of capitation payments to health care providers as a method for control of the rising costs of the system. The establishment of capitation payments usually requires the performance of risk adjustment. The purposes of this study were to develop a diagnosis-based risk adjustment model for the NHI and to evaluate its predictability. METHODS: Using a 2% random sample of 371,620 NHI enrollees, the authors developed a Taiwan version of the Principal Inpatient Diagnosis Cost Groups (TPIPDCGs) from 1996 claim records to predict an individual's expenditure in 1997. Weighted least squares regression models were built in an estimation sample (two-thirds of the study sample), and were cross-validated in a validation sample (the remaining one-third of the study sample). Predictive R2 and predictive ratios were used to evaluate the model's predictability. RESULTS: Only 7.88% of the study sample could be classified into 1 of the 16 TPIPDCGs. Combined with demographic variables, which alone could explain 3.7% of the variation in an individual's future expenditure, the risk adjustment model based on TPIPDCGs could explain 12.2% of expenditure variation. In addition, the finding that the predictive ratios of the TPIPDCG model approximated unity better than those of the demographic model in all subgroups indicates that the capitation payment as predicted by the TPIPDCG model for each subgroup would better correlate to the actual spending. CONCLUSION: Taiwan's risk-adjusted capitation model based on principal inpatient diagnoses has higher predictability on individual's future expenditure than its counterpart in the USA. This finding provides insight into not only the development of Taiwan's diagnosis-based risk adjustment models but also the necessity of modification when applying foreign-developed risk adjustment models to the NHI.

高血压病患者动态脉压与左心室肥厚的关系

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the ambulatory pulse pressure and aortic root dimension (AOD) in essential hypertensive patients. METHODS: We monitored the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and applied echocardiography in 107 essential hypertensive patients. Using the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) as an index in evaluating LVH, the patients were divided into 2 groups: 29 cases in the LVH group and 78 in the non-LVH group. RESULTS: The average levels of 24-hour pulse pressure, daytime pulse pressure, nighttime pulse pressure and AOD were significantly different between patients with LVH and without LVH (P < 0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the changes in nighttime pulse pressure and AOD were closely related to LVMI (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The pulse pressure and AOD are important factors leading to LVH in patients with essential hypertension.
