不对称PCR制备单链探针检测登革Ⅱ型病毒复制型RNA和复制中间体RNA

登革病毒是具包膜的单股正链RNA虫媒病毒 ,病毒的复制过程发生在感染细胞胞浆 ,复制型 (RF)RNA是病毒半保留复制的循环模板 ,复制中间体 (RI)RNA的合成则是病毒复制所必需的。经RT PCR获得的DNA模板进行不对称PCR扩增 ,当限制性引物终浓度为 2 5 0nmol L ,两引物比例为 1 0 0∶1时 ,即得到不对称PCR的预计单链和双链DNA产物。此单链产物用于标记探针进行核酸杂交。结果表明不对称PCR制备单链探针进行核酸杂交可用于检测病毒复制型RNA和复制中间体RNA的合成

Subchondroplasty in the treatment of bone Marrow lesion in early Knee Osteoarthritis: A systematic review of clinical and radiological outcomes

BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is increasingly prevalent in North American society. The significant societal burden it represents makes it essential to promote and target new treatments in earlier phases of the disease. Among others, subchondroplasty is a newly documented technique using calcium phosphate injection targeting the osteochondral lesions preceding KOA, also known as Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs). This article aimed to review the existing literature on clinical and radiological outcomes of subchondroplasty in the treatment of BMLs in KOA.MethodA systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Studies on calcium phosphate injections into BMLs for KOA and its clinical and radiological outcomes were screened and reviewed by independent evaluators.ResultsAfter screening, ten articles were included, totaling 540 patients. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 7 years. Overall, the procedure showed significant functional and quality of life improvement, as well as pain relief, as shown by Patients-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). There were very few complications reported, the most important being leakage of calcium phosphate outside the targeted site. Conversion rate to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) ranged from 14 % to 30 % at 2 years post-procedure. Long term radiological outcomes have been poorly documented.ConclusionsSubchondroplasty is a promising avenue for the treatment of KOA. However, quality evidence is still required before any real conclusions and practical management guidelines can be drawn. Prospective, randomized studies with a control group and a rigorous assessment of long-term clinical and radiological outcomes are recommended.     

Comparison of protein tyrosine phosphorylation and morphological changes induced by IL-2 and IL-3.

We constructed cell lines which can proliferate in response to IL-2 or IL-3 by introducing a wild-type and mutant forms of cDNAs encoding the human IL-2R p75 chain into an IL-3 dependent hematopoietic cell line which expresses the p55 chain of the IL-2R. We compared early events that were induced in these cells by IL-2 and IL-3. Analysis of protein tyrosine phosphorylation showed that two common protein bands, pp95 and pp90, were phosphorylated by stimulation of either IL-2 or IL-3, suggesting the possible sharing of part of a signal transduction pathway between IL-2R and IL-3R. Comparison of protein tyrosine phosphorylation profiles induced by IL-2 and IL-3 among a variety of cell lines revealed that the pp90 band is the common tyrosine phosphorylation substrate in the cell lines examined, although the general tyrosine phosphorylation pattern differed in each cell line. Mutant p75 molecules incapable of inducing tyrosine phosphorylation could bind and internalize IL-2, but could not support cell growth. We also found that swift changes of cytoskeletal protein organization are one of the early events caused by signal transduction through either IL-2R and IL-3R. Reorganization of cytoskeletal proteins seems to be associated with protein phosphorylation, as a significant portion of pp90 was found in a detergent-soluble fraction in IL-2 or IL-3 treated cells.     

Cloning and analysis of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense ILNat 2.1 VSG gene

Genes encoding various Trypanosoma (Trypanozoon) brucei variable surface glycoproteins (VSGs) show considerable conservation among different members of this species, known as isotypes. The occurrence of isotypes in other salivarian trypanosomes has not been well documented. We have cloned sequences encoding Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense ILNat 2.1 VSG, and used it in DNA blot hybridization analyses of this and other T. congolense clones originating from geographically separate regions of East Africa. The data indicate that the expression of ILNat 2.1 VSG gene proceeds by duplicative transposition resulting in the presence of an extra expression-linked copy in the expressing clones examined. Furthermore the ILNat 2.1 VSG gene sequence is absent or has greatly diverged, in all other T. (N.) congolense clones that belong to different serodemes. This suggests that some T. (N.) congolense VSGs may be limited to their respective antigen repertoires. The data are discussed in the light of their implications for antigenic variation in T. (N.) congolense, and parasite epidemiology.     

Recognition of an extensive range of IgE-reactive proteins in cod extract

Allergy to fish is one of the most common food allergies. Gad c 1 is the only fish allergen which has been purified and characterized. Other allergens have been detected by Western blot in cod extracts. We have now improved the Western-blot procedure in order to characterize fish IgE-reactive proteins from extracts prepared under different conditions: pre-rigor mortis and postrigor mortis. EDTA addition or not. and DEAE ion-exchange chromatography. Several IgE-reactive protein bands have been identified over a wide molecular-weight range. In particular, the 104- and 130-kDa IgEreactive protein bands were detected. These new bands may correspond to aggregates, as EDTA increased the relative amount of the 60-, 67-, 104-, and 130-kDa IgE-reactive protein bands in Western blot. All these bands were also detected by an antiparvalbumin monoclonal antibody, specific to the first calcium-binding site. The longer period of storage increased the relative amounts of the 41-, 80-, 104-. and 130-kDa IgE-reactive protein bands. The 18-kDa band was detected only in fish stored for several days. In conclusion, we have described IgE-reactive protein bands over a wide molecular-weight range (12–130 kDa) in Western blot of cod extract, and shown that EDTA and storage conditions may influence the relative distribution of IgE-reactive protein bands.     

CR-lipped bearing is an adequate functional solution to patients with perioperative excessive laxity in cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty

BackgroundThe cruciate retaining lipped (CR-lipped) bearing is designed to provide more anterior-posterior (AP) stability and could be employed to resolve excessive intraoperative laxity during the cruciate retaining TKA (CR-TKA). The aim of the study was to determine whether the CR-lipped bearing in CR-TKAs with a perioperative excessive laxity allows equivalent functional results as compared to the standard CR articulation.MethodsA cohort of 111 TKAs with CR-lipped bearings was matched to a cohort of conventional CR bearings regarding age and sex. The CR-lipped bearing was used in patients with excessive knee AP laxity and the regular CR bearing was used in patients without excessive AP laxity during TKA. Various PROMs (WOMAC, KSS, SF-36) were assessed preoperatively and at 5-years postoperative in combination with revision rate and Range of Motion (ROM).ResultsPROMs did not differ significantly between both groups 5-years postoperatively. Mean ROM (flexion) 5-years postoperatively was not significantly different. The implant survivorship was 100% for both cohorts with revision for any reason as end point.ConclusionBased on these results, the CR-lipped bearing is a safe and effective solution for mild interoperatively assessed PCL laxity during CR-TKA without loss of function or decreased survivorship at 5 years. Peroperative conversion to a PS-TKA in order to obtain satisfactory functional scores might therefore not be necessary when mild PCL laxity is observed during surgery. Further research should focus on verifying this approach and longer follow-up is needed to generate data on long term survivorship.Level of evidenceLevel IV therapeutic, retrospective, cohort study.
