Retroviral gene therapy of collagen-induced arthritis by local delivery of IL-4

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune arthritis, for which treatment options remain limited. This study investigated the potential role of adoptive cellular gene therapy as a novel means for treating the RA animal model collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Adoptive transfer of antigen-specific T-cell hybridomas retrovirally transduced to express IL-4 1 day before booster immunization significantly reduced the number of inflamed joints. Cell transfer after clinical onset of disease had no therapeutic effect. Bioluminescence imaging showed that the hybridomas migrated to the inflamed joints, thus delivering the regulatory protein locally at the site of inflammation. The homing was, at least in part, due to chemotaxis in response to proinflammatory chemokines that are expressed in inflamed joints. There were no significant changes in the cytokine milieu of the draining lymph nodes, nor in the systemic levels of anti-collagen antibodies in treated mice. We conclude that the beneficial clinical effects observed in our model were most likely based on the local action(s) of IL-4 in the inflamed joints and that the local delivery (and effects) of regulatory cytokines, like IL-4, constitutes a novel and effective method of preventing organ-specific autoimmune disease and of minimizing systemic adverse effects.     

甲亢对妊娠妇女的影响

目的 探讨甲亢对妊娠妇女的影响。方法 回顾性分析32例妊娠合并甲亢病例。结果 甲亢合并早孕者共16例,发生妊娠剧吐10例,先兆流产6例;甲亢合并晚孕者16例,发生早产3例,胎儿窘迫6例,合并妊高征2例,产后出血2例,新生儿窒息3例。结论 重症甲亢控制不良的病例易于发生流产、早产、胎儿窘迫等并发症,新生儿窒息的发生率高。孕前及孕期应积极控制甲亢,以降低妊娠并发症。     

Transvaginal sonographic assessment of cervical length changes during triplet gestation

The current study aimed to evaluate the contribution of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for monitoring cervical changes during the second half of triplet gestation. Forty-five pregnant women with triplets pregnancies were prospectively scanned by TVS from approximately 26 weeks gestation and were longitudinally followed-up until delivery. Based on a receiver-operating curve it was found that a cervical length of 25 mm is the most accurate parameter (94% sensitivity and 45% specificity) for predicting premature delivery < or =33 gestational weeks. Thus, a single cervical length measurement of < or =25 mm at 26 weeks gestation correlated well with premature delivery at < or =33 weeks (chi(2); P = 0.002). Using the linear regression model, a mathematical equation [(Week of delivery = 27.4 + 1.6 x cervical length; R(2) = 0.46; P = 0.01)] for predicting the gestational age of delivery (dependent variable) was determined based on mid-gestation cervical measurements (predictors). In parturient women with triplet gestation, TVS assessment of the uterine cervix offers insight into the cervical status and provides valuable information for prenatal care. This includes both monitoring the cervical changes throughout third trimester as well as predicting the likelihood of premature delivery.     

Chitosan hydrogel as a drug delivery carrier to control angiogenesis

An aqueous solution of photocrosslinkable chitosan containing azide groups and lactose moieties (Az-CH-LA) incorporating paclitaxel formed an insoluble hydrogel within 30 s of ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation. The chitosan hydrogel showed strong potential for use as a new tissue adhesive in surgical applications and wound dressing. The fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 molecules retained in the chitosan hydrogel and in an injectable chitosan/IO₄-heparin hydrogel remain biologically active, and were gradually released from the hydrogels as they biodegraded in vivo. The controlled release of biologically active FGF-2 molecules from the hydrogels caused induction of angiogenesis and collateral circulation occurred in healing-impaired diabetic (db/db) mice and in the ischemic limbs of rats. Paclitaxel, which is an antitumor reagent, was also retained in the chitosan hydrogel and remained biologically active as it was released on degradation of the hydrogel in vivo. The chitosan hydrogels incorporating paclitaxel effectively inhibited tumor growth and angiogenesis in mice. The purpose of this review is to describe the effectiveness of chitosan hydrogel as a local drug delivery carrier for agents (e.g., FGF-2 and paclitaxel) to control angiogenesis. It is thus proposed that chitosan hydrogel may be a promising new local carrier for drugs such as FGF-2 and paclitaxel to control vascularization.     

6024例分娩的方式选择与新生儿结局

目的探讨阴道分娩和剖宫产对新生儿的风险。方法对6024例妊娠的分娩方式、剖宫产指征以及新生儿结局回顾性分析。结果剖宫产率为35.3%,其指征主要是头盆不称、社会因素、宫内窘迫、臀位等。分娩新生儿6016例,其中因各种疾患转儿科822例,占13.5%。主要转科原因为早产儿低体重、窒息、高胆红素血症和吸入综合症,各疾病发病率与分娩方式无关。结论剖宫产没有增加新生儿的风险,仍是解决难产的重要手段,但应严格控制手术指征。     

Development of retroviral vectors as safe, targeted gene delivery systems

The transfer of genes of potential therapeutic benefit is presently being attempted in the clinic to treat a number of genetic and virally induced diseases. Many of these protocols use retroviral vectors derived from murine leukemia retroviruses as gene delivery systems. Although these viral delivery systems are well suited for this purpose, a number of their characteristics, some of which are discussed here, are still troublesome. Future retroviral vectors will incorporate nonretroviral features and will be tailored to desired needs for specific uses. These vectors will be safer, more efficient, and targeted in their delivery. Further, expression of the therapeutic genes carried will be limited to the specific target cell type. Some of the recent advances that have been made towards this goal are reviewed here.
