脊髓小脑变性疾病病人血清铜,锌,铝,铁含量的研究

脊髓小脑变性疾病（ＳＣＤ）的病因可能与遗传、神经生化紊乱、感染、微量元素平衡障碍及自由基损伤等因素有关，其中微量元素平衡障碍的研究具有重要意义。检测了ＳＣＤ中发病率较高的橄榄桥小脑萎缩症（ＯＰＣＡ）及晚发性小脑皮质萎缩症（ＬＣＣＡ）病人１５例血清中铜、锌、铝、铁等微量元素含量。发现病人比对照组铜明显降低，Ｐ〈０．０１；锌明显降低，Ｐ〈０．０１；铝明显升高，Ｐ〈０．０１；铁无明显差别。     

DCE-MRI参数联合IFIT1基因对腰椎间盘突出患者椎间盘退变程度的评估价值

探讨DCE-MRI参数及IFIT1基因对腰椎间盘突出症(LDH)患者椎间盘退变(IDD)程度的评估价值。随机选取确诊的66例LDH患者作为研究对象,根据改良Pfirrmann分级法将患者分为2组:轻中度IDD(Ⅰ~Ⅲ级)组(46例)和重度IDD(Ⅳ~Ⅴ级)组20例。通过DCE-MRI检查考察患者的K-trans值,采用日本骨科学会评分(JOA)评估腰椎功能,采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评估腰部疼痛,采用RT-PCR检测外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中IFIT1的mRNA表达。轻中度IDD组的K-trans值显著低于重度IDD组。轻中度IDD组患者PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA相对表达量显著低于重度IDD组。K-trans值与PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平和VAS评分正相关,与JOA评分负相关(P<0.05)。PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平与VAS评分正相关,与JOA评分负相关(P<0.05)。K-trans值和PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平联合诊断重度IDD的AUC值、敏感性和特异性分别为0.991、91.3%和100.0%,AUC值和特异性均高于单独诊断。DCE-MRI检查中的K-trans值联合PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平可用于LDH患者IDD程度的诊断。     

Two Zn(II)‐based meta‐organic frameworks: Selective detection of antibiotics and treatment activity on age‐related macular degeneration by reducing inflammasome activation

Via utilizing the mixed‐ligand method, two novel Zn(II)‐containing meta‐organic frameworks with the chemical formula of {[Zn(L)(5‐HIP)]·H₂O}_n ( 1 ) and [Zn(L)(2,6‐NDC)]_n ( 2 ) were prepared under the solvothermal conditions by applying aromatic dicarboxylic acids ligands (5‐H₂HIP = 5‐hydroxyisophthalic acid; 2,6‐H₂NDC = 2,6‐naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) and 1,4‐bis(benzimidazol‐1‐yl)‐2‐butylene (L). Due to its good water stability as well as the strong luminescent emission around room temperature, complex 2 has the high selectivity and sensibility of fluorescence detection to the ceftriaxone sodium (a kind of antibiotic) with the detection limit up to ppm lever. The treatment activity of the compounds on age‐related macular degeneration was assessed and the specific mechanism was investigated. First of all, the inflammasome activation in the endothelial cells of retina was evaluated with western blot. In addition to this, the down‐stream production of the inflammasome activation was also measured with ELISA detection kit.

目的 探讨肝豆状核变性患者肾脏病变的特点及长期使用青霉胺治疗对其产生的可能影响。方法 选取70 例临床 确诊为肝豆状核变性患者作为观察组,根据临床表型和使用青霉胺时间分为肝脏型组、肝脑混合型组、脑型组及使用青霉胺＜5年组、5～10 年组、＞10 年组,检测并比较各组患者尿总蛋白（TG）、低分子量蛋白（LMW）、高分子量蛋白（HMW）、β2微球蛋白（β2-MG）、β－N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶（NAG）、白蛋白（ALG）及血肌酐（Scr）等肾脏病变相关指标;另选择无血缘关系且血铜蓝蛋白及铜氧化酶等铜代谢检查均正常的健康志愿者70 例作为对照组,检测上述指标并与观察组对照。结果 观察组的肾脏病变相关指标显著高于对照组;不同临床表型的患者各项指标间无统计学差异;随着服用青霉胺时间的延长,患者尿液中β2-MG、LMW百分比、NAG、TG水平逐渐降低,HMW 百分比、ALG水平逐渐升高,TG 呈现逐渐降低的趋势,Scr 保持不变。结论 肝豆状核变性患者肾小球和肾小管的功能均有明显的损伤;肾脏病变在不同临床表型之间无统计学差异,长期使用青霉胺治疗对肾小球的功能有一定的损伤。     

Some thoughts on a nonlinear Schrödinger equation motivated by information theory

The arguments leading to a nonlinear generalization of the Schrödinger equation in the context of the maximum uncertainty principle are reviewed. The exact and perturbative properties of that equation depend on a free regulating/interpolating parameter η, which can be fixed using energetics as is shown here. A linear theory with an external potential that reproduces some unusual exact solutions of the nonlinear equation is also discussed, together with possible symmetry enhancements in the nonlinear theory.     

Surface Coating Rescues Proteins from Magnetite Nanoparticle Induced Damage

The presence of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) in physiological systems induces toxicity through its effects on mitochondrial function and reactive oxygen species (ROS) imbalance. Magnetic NP induced cytotoxicity has been elaborately evaluated for impending threats, however, a detailed investigation is lacking. It is shown that the interaction of Fe₃O₄ NPs with cytochrome c can lead to different events based on the NPs to protein ratio, the solution conditions, and the type of surface protection. At low NPs concentration, rapid binding and subsequent electron transfer are the preferred events while at higher concentration slow oxidative modification of the protein is initiated. The slow event of protein modification yields conformational disorientation, loss of stability, and formation of amyloid‐like structures with cytochrome c. The possibility that the NP induced oxidative stress and age can work in concert to compromise different aspects of cellular quality control processes is discussed. Suitable surface modifications of the NPs inhibit their direct binding to the protein molecules and minimize NP induced toxicity.

Enhanced T1 differentiation between normal and dystrophic muscles

Proton spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) of pectoralis major muscles from normal (Line 412) and homozygous dystrophic (Line 413) chicks was measured by FONAR QED 80 at 1.69 MHz. The T1 values of dystrophic muscles (216.8 +/- 17.3 ms) was two-fold higher than those of normal muscles (110.2 +/- 8.1 msec). When these values were compared with the T1 values obtained at high frequencies (20 MHz and 32 MHz), the T1 differentiation between normal and dystrophic muscles was considerably enhanced at 1.69 MHz. Based on these results, we suggest that the high resolution of T1 obtained at low frequency (1.69 MHz) could be effectively used to detect the degenerative processes in muscles by the NMR techniques.
