Impaired cellular host defence in peritoneal dialysis by two granulocyte inhibitory proteins

Bacterial and fungal peritonitis is associated with a high riskof morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing continuousambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Impaired cellular hostdefence in the peritoneal cavity underlies this risk. Two granulocyteinhibitory proteins with a molecular weight of 28000 dalton(GIP I) and about 9500 dalton (GIP II) with homology to light-chainproteins and beta respectively, were isolated from peritonealdialysis effluents. In vitro, both granulocyte inhibitory proteinsinhibit PMNL glucose uptake, phagocytosis and intracellularkilling of bacteria. The IC₅₀ of GIP I or GIP II required forinhibition of half-maximal FMLP-induced or PMA-stimulated PMNLfunction was found to be in the nanomolar range, suggestingvery specific inhibition. These data may explain, at least inpart, defective local cellular host defence in CAPD patients.

The effects of maternal inflammation on neuronal development: possible mechanisms

That maternal inflammation adversely affects fetal brain development is well established. Less well understood are the mechanisms that account for neurodevelopmental disorders arising from maternal inflammation. This review seeks to begin an examination of possible sites and mechanisms of action whereby inflammatory cytokines - produced by the mother or by the fetal brain - could impact the developing fetus. We focus first on the placenta where cytokines maintain the immunological environment that prevents maternal rejection of the fetus. Following a brief examination of placental transfer of maternal cytokines, the focus turns on embryonic microglia, early and ubiquitous residents of the developing brain. Finally, a more intense examination of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) provides examples of glial- or maternal-derived cytokines that are known to have profound effects on developing systems and that could, if dysregulated, have undesirable consequences for brain development.     

Characterization of Aerosols of Human Recombinant Deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) Generated by Jet Nebulizers

Recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) is a new therapeutic agent developed to improve clearance of purulent sputum from the human airways. It is delivered by inhalation. Four jet nebulizers, T Up-Draft II (Hudson), Customized Respirgard II (Marquest), Acorn II (Marquest), and Airlife Misty (Baxter), were evaluated in vitro for their ability to deliver aerosols of rhDNase. The aerosols were generated from 2.5-mL aqueous solutions of rhDNase, at concentrations of either 1 or 4 mg/mL. In all experiments, the Pulmo-Aide Compressor (De Vilbiss) was used to supply the air to the nebulizers. Between 20 and 28% of the rhDNase dose initially placed in the nebulizers was delivered to the mouthpiece in the respirable range (1-6 µm). Evaluation of the rhDNase following nebulization in all four devices indicated that there was no loss in enzymatic activity and no increase in aggregation. Circular dichroism spectrophotometry indicated there was no change in either the secondary or the tertiary structure in rhDNase following nebulization. These results show that all four nebulizers are essentially equivalent in their ability to deliver respirable doses of rhDNase in an intact, fully active form. Changing the concentration of the solution in the nebulizer from 4 to 1 mg/mL rhDNase leads to a proportional reduction in the respirable dose delivered to the mouthpiece.     

离子通道与弱精子症

弱精子症是引起男性不育的常见病因之一。随着以精子自身为对象的研究深入,发现离子跨膜转运对精子的生理活动起着重要的作用。离子通道病于20世纪90年代提出,现已逐渐发现临床上许多先天性和/或后天获得性疾病与异常的离子通道有关。因此,关于精子的生理和疾病与离子通道的关系研究逐渐成为当前研究的热点之一。现就近年来与精子运动相关的离子通道,包括阳离子通道和阴离子通道的研究进展作一综述。
