SLC及其受体CCR7与Ⅰ期非小细胞肺癌淋巴结微转移的相关性

目的 探讨溶质载体蛋白（SLC）及其受体趋化因子受体7（CCR7）与I期非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）淋巴结微转移的相关性。方法 选取2019年1月~2020年3月于我院就诊的I期NSCLC患者127例为研究对象，按照淋巴结微转移情况分为对照组92例和转移组35例，所有患者入院后均通过根治术切除病灶，通过免疫组化方式检测病灶中SLC7A11及CCR7含量，并收集患者临床资料、实验室检查资料及影像学检查资料。通过Logistic回归分析评价SLC7A11及CCR7与淋巴结微转移之间的关系。最后通过建立ROC曲线分析两者及其联合检测对NSCLC患者微淋巴结转移的预测价值。结果 两组患者SLC7A11及CCR7表达水平存在显著差异（P＜0.05）。转移组患者病灶直径、支气管受累及TLG显著高于对照组（P＜0.05）。病灶直径（OR=49.254,95%CI=11.062~507.604）是影响NSCLC淋巴结微转移的独立危险因素（P＜0.05）。SLC7A11（OR=8.622）及CCR7（OR=8.709）表达水平是影响NSCLC淋巴结微转移的独立因素（P＜0.05）。SLC7A11、CCR7及联合诊断对NSCLC淋巴结微转移具有较好的检测价值（均P＜0.05）。联合检测特异度显著高于 SLC7A11及CCR7单独检测（2=7.292，15.125；均P＜0.01）。结论 SLC家族的中SLC7A11及其受体CCR7与NSCLC患者微淋巴结转移显著相关。     

Synthesis of a new carrier for immunization: polytuftsin

Sequential poly(Arg-Thr-Lys-Pro) consisting mainly of the repeat of tuftsin Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg was synthesized by condensing the p-nitrophenyl ester of Arg(HCI)-Thr-Lys-(2-CI-Z)-Pro in the presence of HOBt . Two haptenic sequences of the Pre-S region of hepatitis B virus antigen (10–26 and 39–55) were prepared by solid phase and coupled to polytuftsin via glutaraldehyde. The peptides, either free or coupled to polytuftsin, were administrated to mice and the antisera were assayed by ELISA . Coupling the peptides to the polypeptide significantly improved the anti-peptide antibody titer in Freund complete adjuvant or in NaCI 0.9%. Cross-reaction between antibodies induced by the peptides and the native protein was also improved. Polytuftsin alone is very poorly immunogenic.     

Determination of diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in metals and their elastic modulus by generalised impedance

Transport of hydrogen in elastic metals has been analysed in terms of an impedance-like non-linear transfer function (TF). The equilibrium in a membrane specimen is perturbed by a sinusoidal signal of the concentration of hydrogen, of large amplitude, applied to one of its surfaces. The fundamental harmonics of periodically reproducible flux at the same surface is considered as a response. The TF is defined as the ratio of the signal to the response. The power of the said TF in determining the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in a metal–hydrogen system and its bulk elastic modulus was analysed for the example of α-phase Pd–H and Pd₈₁Pt₁₉–H systems. It has been found that such a TF is suitable for determination of the above parameters. Also, the sensitivity of these estimates to the uncertainty of concentration of hydrogen in the metal, its partial molar volume and the thickness of the specimen has been explored.

一起幼儿园内空肠弯曲菌高感染情况的调查

作者报道了一起幼儿园内空肠弯曲菌高感染的传播。该幼儿园儿童空肠弯曲菌阳性率为23.0％(43/187)。腹泻病例空肠弯曲菌阳性率为18.6％(8/43),健康儿童带菌率为24.3％(35/144)。同期另一幼儿园健康儿童和门诊非腹泻患儿带菌率分别为11.3％(27/238)和7.5％(15/201),三者间差异显著(P<0.005)。通过流行病学调查及菌株的生物分型表明,传染源可能是两名患空肠弯曲菌肠炎的炊事员,他们与儿童的菌株为同一生物型。其传播可能是通过污染的食物或人与人接触而引起的。     

Fine mapping of X-linked clasped thumb and mental retardation (MASA syndrome) in Xq28

The MASA syndrome is an X-linked disorder with mental retardation, spastic paraparesis, and adducted thumbs as the most characteristic features. We performed linkage analysis, using Xq28 markers, on a large MASA syndrome family. The maximum lodscore was 6.37 at 0 recombination for DXS52 and 5.99 at 0 recombination for DXS305. Crossovers were demonstrated between the disorder and DXS455. Clinical and linkage data from this family further support the hypothesis that the MASA syndrome and X-linked hydrocephalus are allelic disorders.     

Antimetastatic Activity of Polymeric RGDT Peptides Conjugated with Poly(ethylene glycol)

Polymeric peptides containing defined repetitive or cyclic structures of RGDT sequence, (RGDT)_n (n = 1 to 11) and cyclo(RGDT)_n (n=2 to 4), at a dose of 500 μg exhibited an inhibitory effect on experimental lung metastasis upon co-injection with tumor cells and the magnitude of the effect increased in parallel with the increase of degree of repetition of the RGDT sequence. The conjugation of (RGDT)_n (n = 1, 5, 11) with poly(ethylene glycol), PEG as a polymeric carrier led to enhanced inhibition of lung metastasis in proportion to the degree of RGDT sequence repetition and in a dose-dependent manner. Multiple i.v. administrations of PEG-(RGDT)₁₁, at 2-day and 3-day intervals before the excision of primary tumors, effectively inhibited spontaneous lung metastasis by s.c. inoculation of tumors, whereas (RGDT)₁₁ exhibited inhibition of lung metastasis only when given at 2-day intervals. This indicates that the conjugation of PEG with (RGDT)_n allowed the prolongation of administration interval, implying a sustained inhibitory effect on tumor metastasis. In support of this supposition, a decrease in the arrest of radiolabeled tumor cells in the lungs was observed when PEG-(RGDT)₁₁ was co-injected i.v. with tumor cells, or injected i.v. one day before tumor inoculation. In contrast, (RGDT)₁₁ significantly inhibited the tumor cell arrest in the lungs only upon co-injection with tumor cells. We also noted that (RGDT)_n, cyclo(RGDT)_n and PEG-(RGDT)₁₁ inhibited tumor cell invasion into Matrigel in a concentration-dependent manner and in proportion to the degree of RGDT sequence repetition, indicating that the peptide-mediated antimetastatic effect is partly associated with the anti-invasive potential. Thus, the conjugation of anti-cell adhesive and antimetastatic RGDT peptide with PEG might provide a therapeutically promising basis for the prevention of cancer metastasis (“anti adhesion therapy”).     

HBV血清学标记携带者家庭内传染性多因素分析

HBV血清学标记携带者的传染受许多因素的影响。本研究采用多因素分析方法,定量描述了各种类型HBV血清学标记携带者家庭内传染性及有关因素影响的大小。家中上次HBsAg携带与易感者HBsAg和HBeAg阳转呈正相关。家中上次抗-HBc携带与易感者抗-HBc阳转呈正相关,OR=5.98;但与抗-HBc滴度变化无显著联系。而家中上次抗-HBc携带,HBsAg与抗-HBc同时携带与易感者HBsAg和HBeAg阳转呈负相关。年龄与HBsAg阳转呈负相关;文化水平与易感者抗-HBs阳转亦呈负相关;手术史、注射史与乙肝续发感染正相关。多因素分析对阐明人群中大量HBV血清学标记携带者的动态变化有一定意义。     

Regeneration of periodontal ligament and cementum by BMP-applied tissue engineering

Previously, we demonstrated that the inductive properties of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) highly depend on the nature of the carrier material used for implantation. In this paper, we show that administration of BMP incorporated in a fibrous collagen membrane can help to regenerate periodontal ligament and cementum both in cat canines and in monkey molars. The partially purified bovine BMP was combined with one or two layers of a fibrous collagen membrane. Although the single layer approach showed partial regeneration of periodontal defects, it also quite often led to ankylosis. The double layer technique in artificially prepared class III furcation defects in monkey molars gave favorable results. After 12 wk, not only the alveolar process but also the periodontal ligament and cementum had regenerated along the entire treated dentin surface. Collagen fibers were arranged more or less perpendicular to the surface of the new cementum. Ankylosis was not seen. It is concluded that the double-layer approach is superior to the single-layer technique in regenerating cementum.
