简介:AbstractObjective:This study was aimed to determine the changes in CXCR2 expression in preeclampsia placenta and its correlation with clinical parameters.Methods:Sixty-four gravidas ranging in age from 25 to 42 years referred to the obstetrics unit of the West China Second University Hospital from April 2012 to October 2012 were recruited in this case-control study; women were diagnosed and divided into early-onset preeclampsia group (n= 22), late-onset preeclampsia group (n= 22), and healthy pregnancy group (n= 20). After immunolocalized in human placenta, the levels of CXCR2 protein and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Correlations between placental CXCR2 protein expression with systolic blood pressure and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in early-onset preeclampsia were examined using Pearson or Spearman’s correlation coefficients.Results:Placental CXCR2 protein and mRNA expression in early-onset preeclampsia was significantly lower than it was in placentas from healthy pregnancy pregnancies and late-onset preeclampsia (P < 0.05). The placental CXCR2 protein expression correlated negatively with systolic blood pressure and LDH in early-onset preeclampsia (r= -0.51, P < 0.05; r=-0.43, P < 0.05).Conclusion:Significant abnormal placental CXCR2 expression in early-onset preeclampsia, and its correlations with some clinical parameters (systolic blood pressure and LDH) were discovered, suggesting that CXCR2 may play a role in the pathogenesis of early-onset preeclampsia.
简介:摘要目的探讨平肝健脾汤治疗青光眼的疗效及对房水基质金属蛋白酶2(MMP-2)及其组织抑制剂-2(TIMP-2)表达的影响。方法选取2018年10月至2020年1月本院收治的126例(131眼)青光眼患者,采用随机数字法分成两组,对照组63例(65眼)行常规西医药物治疗,观察组63例(66眼)在对照组的基础上加用自拟平肝健脾汤,观察两组眼压、视野缺损情况及房水中MMP-2、TIMP-2的变化。结果两组治疗前眼压比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),随治疗时间延长,两组患者眼压均降低(F=5.862,P=0.017),两组组间眼压比较,差异有统计学意义(F=4.881,P=0.040),且两组眼压组间、时点间交互作用比较,差异有统计学意义(F=5.841,P=0.026);治疗后8周两组AGIS评分较治疗前均呈显著降低(均P<0.05),治疗后8周观察组AGIS评分为(5.84±1.20)分,明显低于对照组的(6.01±1.44)分,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);治疗后8周两组房水MMP-2、TIMP-2及MMP-2/TIMP-2较治疗前显著降低(均P<0.05),且观察组房水MMP-2为(21.09±5.04)μg/L、TIMP-2为(22.15±5.82)μg/L,均低于对照组(均P<0.05),而MMP-2/TIMP-2为(0.96±0.03),明显高于对照组(P<0.05。结论平肝健脾汤能有效降低眼压,改善视野缺损,保护视神经功能,调节MMP-2/TIMP-2平衡可能是其对青光眼视神经的保护机制之一。

简介:AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to evolve, generating new variants that pose a threat to global health; therefore, it is imperative to obtain safe and broad-spectrum antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. To this end, we screened compounds for their ability to inhibit viral entry, which is a critical step in virus infection. Twenty compounds that have been previously reported to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication were tested by using pseudoviruses containing the spike protein from the original strain (SARS-CoV-2-WH01). The cytotoxicity of these compounds was determined. Furthermore, we identified six compounds with strong antagonistic activity against the WH01 pseudovirus, and low cytotoxicity was identified. These compounds were then evaluated for their efficacy against pseudoviruses expressing the spike protein from B.1.617.2 (Delta) and B.1.1.529 (Omicron), the two most prevalent circulating strains. These assays demonstrated that two phenothiazine compounds, trifluoperazine 2HCl and thioridazine HCl, inhibit the infection of Delta and Omicron pseudoviruses. Finally, we discovered that these two compounds were highly effective against authentic SARS-CoV-2 viruses, including the WH01, Delta, and Omicron strains. Our study identified potential broad-spectrum SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors and provided insights into the development of novel therapeutics.
简介:AbstractOmicron (B.1.1.529), the fifth variant of concern (VOC) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was firstly identified in November 2021 in South Africa. Omicron contains far more genome mutations than any other VOCs ever found, raising significant concerns about its increased transmissibility and immune evasion. Here, we report the importation of the Omicron variant into Beijing, China, in December 2021. Full-length genome sequences of five imported strains were obtained, with their genetic features characterized. Each strain contained 57 to 61 nucleotide substitutions, 39 deletions, and 9 insertions in the genome. Thirty to thirty-two amino acid changes were found in the spike proteins of the five strains. The phylogenetic tree constructed by the maximum likelihood method showed that all five imported genomes belonged to Omicron (BA.1) (alias of B.1.1.529.1), which is leading to the current surge of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases worldwide. The globally increased COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant pose a significant challenge to disease prevention and control in China. Continuous viral genetic surveillance and increased testing among international travellers are required to contain this highly contagious variant.
简介:AbstractAt present, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread worldwide, which has emerged multiple variants and brought a threat to global public health. To analyze the genomic characteristics and variations of SARS-CoV-2 imported into Beijing, we collected the respiratory tract specimens of 112 cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from January to September 2021 in Beijing, China, including 40 local cases and 72 imported cases. The whole-genome sequences of the viruses were sequenced by the next-generation sequencing method. Variant markers and phylogenic features of SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed. Our results showed that in all 112 sequences, the mutations were concentrated in spike protein. D614G was found in all sequences, and mutations including L452R, T478K, P681R/H, and D950N in some cases. Furthermore, 112 sequences belonged to 23 lineages by phylogenetic analysis. B.1.1.7 (Alpha) and B.1.617.2 (Delta) lineages were dominant. Our study drew a variation image of SARS-CoV-2 and could help evaluate the potential risk of COVID-19 for pandemic preparedness and response.
简介:摘要ObjectiveTo investigate a 5-generation Chinese Han family with PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome resulting from mutations in the PRKAG2 gene encoding the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) gamma 2 subunit and the treatment of myocardial hypertrophy in patients with PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome.MethodIn this study, a 5-generation Chinese Han family (n = 40) with complete atrioventricular block and asymmetric interventricular septal hypertrophy was taken as the research object, and the DNA were obtained from 30 of them (6 patients and 24 normal persons). Objective gene capture combined with high-throughput sequencing technique was used to detect the genes of family members. After the gene diagnosis was confirmed, the cardiac data of patients taking beta-blockers in this family were analyzed retrospectively with the average annual increase in thickness of interventricular septum (expressed in mm/year) as an index.ResultsA total of 6 family members were associated with PRKAG2 (c.905G>A; pR302Q) heterozygous variation. The phenotype of pedigree patients is characterized by complete atrioventricular block and asymmetric interventricular septal hypertrophy, which has high homogeneity. No syncope occurs after implantation of permanent pacemaker, but atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation occur. The 5 patients with PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome in the family took beta-blockers for a long time, and the progress of cardiac hypertrophy was significantly delayed.ConclusionsOur results suggest that the possibility of PRKAG2 mutations should be considered in patients with complete atrioventricular block and asymmetric interventricular septal hypertrophy, and that prompt implantation of pacemakers and long-term use of beta blockers may improve the prognosis of PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome patients.
简介:摘要长期以来,人们一直认为2型糖尿病(T2DM)是一种终身性疾病。近年的临床实践显示,一些T2DM患者在采取某些干预措施后可停用降糖药而血糖仍处于正常或接近正常水平,目前多数学者用“缓解”来描述T2DM患者这种代谢持续改善至接近正常的状态。该文对T2DM缓解的概念和判断标准、实现T2DM缓解的策略、T2DM缓解的影响和预测因素进行介绍,并阐述诱导T2DM缓解的可能机制。T2DM缓解具有重要的临床意义,不仅使患者在一段时间内免于药物治疗,而且可降低患者并发症的发生风险,针对缓解机制的研究还有望衍生出新的干预靶点,但该领域仍存在若干需要解决的问题。临床上对已经缓解的T2DM患者仍不能放松管理,需要定期复查,如患者血糖超过控制标准应按照指南及时启动相应的治疗。
