用荧光探剂DPH研究家蝇线粒体膜脂流动性

本文探讨了用ＤＰＨ作为荧光探剂，研究家蝇飞翔肌线粒体膜脂流动性的方法。实验表明：ＤＰＨ确是用来研究家蝇生物膜流动性的有效探剂。同时，初步观察了不同杀虫剂对ＤＰＨ与线粒体膜结合后荧光强度的影响。其中氯菊酯和倍硫磷、马拉硫磷、敌百虫、氧化乐果，可使ＤＰＨ探剂与线粒体膜结合后的荧光相对强度增加；而氰戊菊酯、氯氰菊酯，溴氰菊酯及辛硫磷、乙酰甲胺磷，则可使荧光强度减弱。     

Allele-specific differential expression of a common adiponectin gene polymorphism related to obesity

Adiponectin gene polymorphisms have recently been reported to be associated with obesity, insulin sensitivity, and the risk of type 2 diabetes. We examined a T94G polymorphism of the adiponectin gene in 245 ostensibly normal nondiabetic subjects. The G allele frequency was lower among subjects with higher BMI (> or =27) than in those with lower BMI. BMI was inversely correlated with the dose of G allele. Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that the adiponectin genotypes were significantly related to BMI after adjusting for age and gender. The dose of the G allele was associated with a reduction of approximately 1.12 kg/m(2) in BMI. We further found that the relative mRNA levels of G allele were consistently higher than those of T allele in the omental adipose tissue from 21 heterozygous subjects. Finally, we observed that the expression levels of adiponectin affected insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In conclusion, the allele-specific differential expression of this common polymorphism could be responsible for its biological effects observed in this and the other studies.     

Case report and literature review: primary cutaneous carcinosarcoma

Carcinosarcomas are rare but aggressive neoplasms commonly described in organs such as the breast, urinary bladder, uterus, liver, and lungs. Histopathologically, they are characterized by the presence of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. The exact histogenesis of carcinosarcomas remains unknown and is debated in the literature. Primary carcinosarcomas of the skin are uncommon. To our knowledge, 20 cases of primary cutaneous carcinosarcoma have been described in the world literature. Most of these tumors were seen on the head and neck region of older individuals, both male and female. Microscopically, the more common carcinoma component is a squamous cell carcinoma followed by basal cell carcinoma, whereas the most common sarcoma component is an osteosarcoma. We report an example of this rare entity and speculate on its histogenesis in the skin.     

Proteomic analysis of salt-sensitive outer membrane proteins of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a universal marine pathogen with available genome sequences, could be used as a bacterial model to clarify the various physiological phenomena of its native and host environments. In the present study, proteomic methodologies were applied to investigate the expression pattern of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of V. parahaemolyticus at different NaCl concentrations. OmpW, OmpV, elongation factor TU and polar flagellin were determined to be osmoregulation-sensitive OMPs, among which OmpW and OmpV were reported to vary with changed NaCl concentrations in the pattern of osmolarity regulation. Therefore, our results not only expand our knowledge on osmoregulation-related proteins, but also provide a valuable strategy for the screening of salt-sensitive proteins.     

Probe selection algorithm for oligonucleotide array-based medium-resolution genotyping

Medium-resolution genotyping has the goal of distinguishing different subgroups instead of each element in a group. An oligonucleotide array provides an inexpensive, high-throughput method to identify differences in DNA sequence among individuals, which is fundamental for genotyping. As the cost and difficulty of designing and fabricating the oligonucleotide array dramatically increase with the number of probes used, it is therefore important to have a design with a minimum number of probes meeting the requirement of medium-resolution genotyping. The first algorithm for designing and selecting probes for oligonucleotide array-based medium-resolution typing is reported. The goal in deriving the algorithm was to select a minimum number of probes from a large probe set on the premise of minimum loss of resolution. The algorithm, which was based on entropy, conditional entropy and mutual information theory, was used to select the minimum number of probes from a large probe set. The algorithm was tested on a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sequence data set. Thirty probes were selected from 390 probes for HLA-A, and 60 probes were selected from 767 probes for HLA-B. Although the number of probes was reduced by almost ten times, the distinguishability was reduced only a little, by 0.45% (from 99.90% to 99.45%) for HLA-A and 0.27% (from 99.84% to 99.57%) for HLA-B, respectively. This is a satisfactory and practical result.     

Kinetics of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus-specific antibodies in 271 laboratory-confirmed cases of SARS

The sensitivities and specificities of an immunofluorescence assay and an enzyme immunoassay for detection of antibodies specific for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) were compared for 148 laboratory-confirmed SARS cases. The appearance and persistence of SARS-CoV-specific antibodies were assessed, with immunoglobulin G detected in 59% of samples collected within 14 days and persisting for 60 to 95 days after the onset of illness.
