A new approach to CNS repair using chimeric peripheral nerve grafts

We have examined whether transplanted freeze-thawed peripheral nerve (PN) sheaths repopulated ex vivo with purified adult Schwann cells (SCs) support the regeneration of adult rat retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. Cultured adult SCs were derived from donor rats or from the host animals themselves. We also transplanted PN sheaths filled with neonatal SCs or donor adult olfactory ensheathing glia (OEG). 100,000 cells were injected into 1.5-cm lengths of freeze-thawed PN. After 2 days in culture, repopulated PN segments were grafted onto the transected optic nerve of adult Fischer rats. Three weeks later, 6% fluorogold (FG) was applied to distal PN. Retrogradely labeled RGCs were counted in retinal wholemounts and PN grafts were processed for immunohistochemistry. As expected, there was no RGC axon regeneration in cell-free grafts. Regrowth was also absent in neonatal SC- and adult OEG-filled grafts, which contained only small numbers of surviving donor cells. Many cells were, however, seen in adult SC repopulated PN grafts, intermingled with pan-neurofilament(+) and GAP-43(+) fibers. SCs were aligned along the grafts and were S-100(+), p75(+). Ultrastructurally, SCs were associated with myelinated and unmyelinated axons. Hundreds of FG-labeled RGCs were seen in retinas of rats with congeneic or allogeneic PN sheaths repopulated with either donor or autologous (host-derived) adult SCs. Intraocular CNTF injections significantly increased the number of regenerating RGCs in donor and autologous adult SC groups. The use of chimeric grafts to bridge CNS tissue defects could provide a clinical alternative to using multiple PN autografts, the harvesting of which would exacerbate peripheral dysfunction in already injured patients.     

新生儿感染性疾病127例临床研究

目的探讨新生儿感染性疾病实验室非特异性指标相关因素的诊断价值。 方法选取2016年7月至2017年7月承德市中心医院NICU收治的127例出生0~3 d的感染性疾病患儿为感染组,103例0~3 d非感染性疾病新生儿为对照组,比较两组新生儿的临床症状、围产期因素以及实验室指标等。 结果与对照组新生儿相比,感染组患儿喂养困难（15.7%）、呼吸困难（30.7%）、呻吟（31.5%）、皮肤黄染（18.1%）和窒息（5%）等初始症状差异均有统计学意义（χ² = 4.136、24.574、33.282、38.039,P均< 0.001）。围产期因素中两组新生儿母亲孕晚期有感染病史和胎膜早破> 18 h两个因素差异有统计学意义（χ² = 10.536、10.717,P均= 0.001）。实验室指标结果显示,两组新生儿C-反应蛋白（CRP）、白细胞计数以及中性粒细胞百分比差异均有统计学意义（t = 2.740、P = 0.008,t = 6.378、P < 0.001,t = 4.860、P < 0.001）。感染组患儿ROC曲线分析显示：CRP、白细胞计数、中性粒细胞百分比最佳截断点分别为8.0 mg/dl、12.65 × 10⁹/L和63.15%,敏感性分别为24.3%、62.2%和68.9%,特异性分别为99.0%、81.2%和84.4%,曲线下面积（AUC）分别为0.544、0.707和0.769;CRP、白细胞计数和中性粒细胞百分比三者联合敏感性为83.8%,特异性为75.0%,曲线下面积（AUC）为0.860,显著高于单项指标。 结论新生儿感染性疾病的发生与多种围产期因素密切相关,以呼吸系统症状为始发临床表现多见。CRP、白细胞计数和中性粒细胞百分比联合诊断可以提高诊断价值。围产期因素、临床表现和实验室指标相结合,有利于早期识别新生儿感染性疾病。     

Targeting formyl peptide receptor 1 of activated macrophages to monitor inflammation of experimental osteoarthritis in rat

Macrophages play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, the feasibility of a formyl peptide receptor 1 (Fpr1)‐targeting peptide probe cFLFLF‐PEG‐⁶⁴Cu via positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was investigated for detection of macrophage activity during development of OA. Monoiodoacetate (MIA) was intraarticularly injected into the knee joint of Sprague–Dawley rats to induce OA. Five days later, cFLFLF‐PEG‐⁶⁴Cu (～7,400 kBq/rat) was injected into the tail vein and microPET/CT imaging was performed to assess the OA inflammation by detecting infiltration of macrophages by Fpr1 expression. In addition, a murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 and two fluorescent probes cFLFLF‐PEG‐cyanine 7 (cFLFLF‐PEG‐Cy7) and cFLFLF‐PEG‐cyanine 5 (cFLFLF‐PEG‐Cy5) were used to define the binding specificity of the peptide to macrophages. It was found with the MIA model that the maximal standard uptake values (SUV_max) for right (MIA treated) and left (control) knees were 17.96 ± 5.45 and 3.00 ± 1.40, respectively. Histological evaluation of cryomicrotome sections showed that Fpr1 expression, cFLFLF‐PEG‐Cy5 binding, and tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase activity were elevated in the injured synovial membranes. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that both fluorescent peptide probes could bind specifically to RAW264.7 cells, which was blocked by cFLFLF but not by the scramble peptide. The findings highlighted the use of cFLFLF‐PEG‐⁶⁴Cu/PET as an effective method potentially applied for detection and treatment evaluation of OA. © 2015 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Novel mutations of CYP27B1 gene lead to reduced activity of 1α-hydroxylase in Chinese patients

Pseudovitamin D-deficiency rickets (PDDR) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from a defect in renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase, the key enzyme in the pathway of vitamin D metabolism. We identified ten different mutations in the 1α-hydroxylase gene (CYP27B1) in eight Chinese families with PDDR by DNA-sequence analysis. Six of them are novel missense mutations: G57V, G73W, L333F, R432C, R459C, and R492W; three are novel deletion mutations: c48-60del, c1310delG, and c1446delA; and an insertion mutation c1325-1332insCCCACCC reported previously. Functional assay revealed that the missense mutants identified in this study retain 5.5-12.1% 1α-hydroxylase activity of the wild type. The study describes nine novel mutations in addition to 37 known mutations of CYP27B1 gene and shows the correlation between these mutations and the clinical findings of 1α-hydroxylase deficiency.
