Involvement of penaeidins in defense reactions of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris to a pathogenic vibrio

The present study reports for the first time the involvement of an antimicrobial peptide in the defense reactions of a shrimp infected by a pathogenic Vibrio, Vibrio penaeicida. New members of the penaeidin family were characterized in the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris by RT-PCR and RACE-PCR from hemocyte total RNAs, and by mass spectrometry detection and immunolocalization of mature peptides in shrimp hemocytes. In infected shrimps, bacteria and penaeidin distribution colocalized in the gills and the lymphoid organ that represented the main infected sites. Moreover, the shrimp immune response to infection involved massive hemocyte recruitment to infection sites where released penaeidin may participate in the isolation and elimination of the bacteria, We show that the ability of the shrimps to circumvent shrimp infections is closely related to a recovery phase based on the hematopoietic process.Received 25 November 2003; received after revision 8 January 2004; accepted 21 January 2004     

Structure and morphogenesis of bacteriophage T4

Bacteriophage T4 is one of the most complex viruses. More than 40 different proteins form the mature virion, which consists of a protein shell encapsidating a 172-kbp double-stranded genomic DNA, a tail, and fibers, attached to the distal end of the tail. The fibers and the tail carry the host cell recognition sensors and are required for attachment of the phage to the cell surface. The tail also serves as a channel for delivery of the phage DNA from the head into the host cell cytoplasm. The tail is attached to the unique portal vertex of the head through which the phage DNA is packaged during head assembly. Similar to other phages, and also herpes viruses, the unique vertex is occupied by a dodecameric portal protein, which is involved in DNA packaging.Received 18 February 2003; received after revision 16 April 2003; accepted 9 May 2003

我院女性NGU患者衣原体支原体感染及药敏分析

目的:了解我院女性非淋菌性阴道炎(NGU)患者生殖道沙眼衣原体(Chlamydia trachomatis,Ct)、解脲脲原体(Ureaplasma urealyticum,Uu)和人型支原体(Mycoplasma hominis,Mh)感染状况,指导临床合理用药。方法:对650例NGU患者按试剂盒说明进行标本采集和检测及支原体药敏试验。结果检出阳性率为41.4%(269/650),其中单纯Uu阳性率33.2%(216/650)、单纯Mh阳性率0.8%(5/650)、Ct阳性率3.8%(25/650),Uu+Mh阳性率1.7%(11/650),Uu+Ct阳性率1.4%(9/650),Mh+Ct阳性率0.3%(2/650),Uu+Mh+CT阳性率0.2%(1/650)。结论:支原体和衣原体为NCU患者主要病原体,其中单纯Uu感染率较高,且耐药趋势严重,应引起临床的高度重视,加强女性NGU患者支原体和衣原体检测对诊断和治疗极为重要。

HCV感染通过Erk信号的激活上调PTTG1的表达

 为探讨丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染导致肝细胞癌发生的分子机制,利用前期研究建立的体外HCV细胞培养体系,将HCV JFH-1 RNA转染CD81-Huh7细胞,确定能够获得感染性HCV后,收集HCV转染后10,50,100和150d的细胞,采用Real time PCR及Western Blot法检测不同时间点细胞内垂体瘤转化基因1(PTTG1)基因和蛋白水平的表达情况,同时检测总MAPK/Erk1/2,磷酸化Erk1/2(p-Erk1/2)蛋白的表达。随后,用干扰素抑制HCV的感染,再检测PTTG1及MAPK/Erk1/2的表达情况,以及用MAPK/Erk抑制剂(PD98059)阻断MAPK/Erk 1/2的磷酸化后,检测PTTG1的表达情况。结果显示,HCV转染的细胞与未转染细胞比较,PTTG1的mRNA和蛋白表达均显著增加,p-Erk1/2蛋白显著升高(P＜0.05);抑制HCV感染显著降低PTTG1的表达和MAPK/Erk1/2的磷酸化(P＜0.05);MAPK/Erk1/2抑制剂显著降低了PTTG1基因和蛋白的表达(P＜0.05)。体外HCV感染可以导致MAPK/Erk信号通路的磷酸化,进一步导致原癌基因PTTG1的表达增加,这可能是慢性HCV感染导致HCV相关性肝细胞癌发生的分子机制之一。

煤工尘肺结核患者肺部细菌感染及耐药性研究

研究淮南矿区煤工尘肺结核患者肺部产超广谱β-内酰胺酶细菌感染及其耐药情况.对从煤工尘肺结核肺部感染患者痰标本分离的132株革兰阴性杆菌进行ESBLs检测,并对产ESBLs细菌进行药物敏感性检测.共计检出产ESBLs细菌31株,占全部测试菌株的23.48%,其中主要包括肺炎克雷伯菌15株,大肠埃希菌13株.产ESBLs细菌对氨苄西林均高度耐药;对头孢噻肟、头孢他定等第三代头孢菌素类也高度耐药;而头孢西丁对产ESBLs肺炎克雷伯菌及大肠埃希菌有较强的抗菌效果,但产ESBLs铜绿假单孢菌和阴沟肠杆菌对头孢西丁的耐药率却高达100%;除铜绿假单胞菌外的产ESBLs细菌对亚胺培南的敏感率极高;奈替米星、阿米卡星及氧氟沙星、环丙沙星对产ESBLs细菌抗菌作用较弱.淮南矿区煤工尘肺结核患者肺部产ESBLs细菌感染以产ESBLs肺炎克雷伯菌和大肠埃希菌引起的肺部感染为主要要致病菌,亚胺培南可作为治疗产ESBLs细菌(铜绿假单胞菌除外)的首选药物,临床应采取措施以预防产ESBLs细菌肺部感染的发生.
