钩端螺旋体核糖体提取物免疫保护作用的研究

作者对核糖体现有的制备方法进行了部分改进,从黄疸出血群赖型017株钩体中成功地制备了核糖体提取物。该提取物经SPA-ELISA 证实具有免疫原性,对40只受试豚鼠的保护试验结果表明,核糖体提取物对同型毒株的攻击具有明显的保护作用;结果还证明核糖体提取物能诱导机体的体液免疫反应。     

中晚期乳腺单纯癌粗面内质网及核糖体的形态参数的逐步判别分析

目的:探讨乳腺单纯癌临床诊断的量化标准。方法:对20例中期和20例晚期乳腺单纯癌癌细胞粗面内质网、游离核糖体、多核糖体的7个形态参数进行体视学分析,用逐步判别分析法剔选各参数值,建立判别函数。结果:Vvr2、Svr2、SR与Sr2之间有显著性差异（P<0.01）,回代判别正确率达到85.7％。结论:本研究建立的乳腺单纯癌临床诊断量化标准对鉴别诊断乳腺癌及判断其恶性程度和预后具有重要意义。     

核糖体生物合成与肿瘤的研究进展

核糖体生物合成是细胞内重要的生物学过程,决定了细胞内蛋白质合成的速率。在肿瘤细胞旺盛的生长压力下,肿瘤中核糖体生物合成发生异常调控。有越来越多的研究表明核糖体生物合成的异常可能会促进肿瘤的发生发展,并且它也逐渐被认为是多种肿瘤的一个可行的治疗靶点。本文简要综述了核糖体生物合成过程及其在肿瘤中的异常和调控,以及药物靶向核糖体生物合成治疗肿瘤的研究进展。     

Humanized anti-VEGFR-2 ScFv-As2O3-stealth nanoparticles,an antibody conjugate with potent and selective anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity

Low sensitivity of tumor tissue, targeting and sustained release of the drug are bottlenecks of the effect of chemotherapy on hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study, we used the ribosome display technology to screen human anti-VEGFR 2-single-chain antibody (ScFv) that could target directly to VEGFR2, and nanotechnology to prepare As2O3-nanoparticles. Then we built anti-VEGFR-2ScFv-As2O3-stealth nanoparticles using molecular coupling technology, which significantly increased anti-tumor effect while reducing toxicity. The in vivo tissue targeting distribution and anti-tumor effects of the anti-VEGFR-2 ScFv-As2O3-stealth nanoparticles were investigated. Our results showed that anti-VEGFR-2 ScFv-As2O3-stealth nanoparticles could inhibit the development of liver cancer xenograft as a targeting agent and also significantly inhibit angiogenesis.     

The evolving ribosome: from non-coded peptide bond formation to sophisticated translation machinery

Structural analysis supported by biochemical, mutagenesis and computational evidence, revealed that the contemporary ribosome's active site is a universal symmetrical pocket made of ribosomal RNA. This pocket seems to be the remnant of the proto-ribosome, a dimeric RNA assembly evolved by gene duplication, capable of autonomously catalyzing peptide bond formation and non-coded amino acid polymerization.     

Severe lactic acidosis secondary to minocycline in a teenager with infectious mononucleosis and mitochondrial myopathy

Mitochondrial myopathies are heterogeneous disorders with diverse presentations including laboratory findings of lactic acidosis. Often times they are diagnosed in childhood or the early teenage years following an infectious illness. Minocycline is a common antibiotic used for the treatment of acne. It has been reported to alter mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. We report an interesting case of a teenager in which mitochondrial myopathy with severe lactic acidosis presented following a bout of infectious mononucleosis and minocycline use. It is hypothesized that oxidative stress from the infectious illness plus the minocycline use triggered the patient's presentation. The clinical manifestations and genetics of mitochondrial myopathies and treatment are discussed along with the management of lactic acidosis.
