结核分枝杆菌rv0394c基因在耻垢分枝杆菌中的表达及其粘附特性的鉴定

本实验室前期研究鉴定出结核分枝杆菌的rv0394c基因产物具有透明质酸酶的活性,但对于该酶在分枝杆菌致病中的作用尚不清楚。为了鉴定该蛋白对细胞是否具有粘附特性,本研究利用大肠杆菌表达纯化的重组蛋白RV0394c与人肺泡上皮细胞(A549细胞)互作,通过激光共聚焦显微镜观察到蛋白对细胞的特异性粘附。为进一步验证该试验结果,将rv0394c基因克隆至大肠杆菌-分枝杆菌穿梭表达质粒p MV262中,将重组质粒电转化于非致病性的耻垢分枝杆菌中进行表达。构建的重组菌与A549细胞进行互作,结果表明重组菌可以粘附于A549细胞表面,而且这种粘附能够被RV0394c重组蛋白所阻断,这些结果表明RV0394c蛋白具有粘附细胞的能力,属于该菌的粘附蛋白之一。RV0394c蛋白粘附特性的鉴定为进一步研究该蛋白在致病性中的作用提供了实验依据。

STRAIN ELASTOGRAPHY USING DOBUTAMINE‐INDUCED CAROTID ARTERY PULSATION IN CANINE THYROID GLAND

Thyroid disease is common in dogs and conventional ultrasonography is a standard diagnostic test for diagnosis and treatment planning. Strain elastography can provide additional information about tissue stiffness noninvasively after applying external or internal compression. However, natural carotid artery pulsations in the canine thyroid gland are too weak to maintain sufficient internal compression force. The objective of the present study was to describe the feasibility of strain elastography for evaluating the canine thyroid gland and the repeatability of dobutamine‐induced carotid artery pulsation as an internal compression method. In seven healthy Beagle dogs, strain on each thyroid lobe was induced by external compression using the ultrasound probe and internal compression using carotid artery pulsation after dobutamine infusion. The thyroid appeared homogeneously green and the subcutaneous fat superficial to the thyroid lobe appeared blue. Strain values and strain ratios did not differ among dogs or between the left and right lobes. Interobserver repeatability was excellent for both compression methods. Intraobserver repeatability of the strain ratio measured using the carotid artery pulsation method (intraclass coefficient correlation = 0.933) was higher than that measured using the external compression method (0.760). Mean strain values of thyroid lobes for the external compression method (142.93 ± 6.67) differed from the internal method (147.31 ± 8.24; P < 0.05). Strain ratios between the two methods did not differ. Strain elastography was feasible for estimating thyroid stiffness in dogs. Carotid artery pulsation induced by dobutamine infusion can be used for canine thyroid strain elastography with excellent repeatability.     

Perianesthetic development of diaphragmatic hernia in a horse with equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID)

A 21-year-old Thoroughbred gelding with a history of equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) presented with priapism of 2 days’ duration. The horse received a caudal morphine epidural and then underwent corpus cavernosum lavage and phallectomy under general anesthesia. The patient’s recovery featured multiple unsuccessful attempts to stand and his respiratory distress persisted for several hours until he acutely developed severe colic and was euthanized. Necropsy findings revealed a pituitary adenoma of the pars intermedia, bilateral adrenal cortical hyperplasia, and diaphragmatic herniation. This report suggests that horses with PPID may present a greater risk for diaphragmatic hernia under general anesthesia or during procedures placing stress on the diaphragm, including anesthetic recovery.     

鸭源鸡杆菌对HeLa细胞的黏附和侵袭特性

为研究鸭源鸡杆菌(G.anatis)体外黏附和侵袭细胞的能力,选择HeLa细胞为感染模型,分别以细菌黏附和侵袭HeLa细胞数量为指标,借助革兰和姬姆萨染色及电镜观察来研究2株不同来源的鸭源鸡杆菌对HeLa细胞的黏附和侵袭特性。结果显示:黏附计数表明鸭源鸡杆菌Yu-PDS-RZ-1-SLG能高水平黏附HeLa细胞,菌株感染30、60、90、120、150min后每细胞黏附的细菌数分别为0.84、4.68、8.52、9.27、8.2个,而菌株F149T对HeLa细胞有较低的黏附作用。侵袭试验表明Yu-PDS-RZ-1-SLG有低度侵袭力,侵袭的细菌数在150min时达到最大,约8.27·1 000细胞-1,随后细胞破碎,细胞逐渐脱落,而菌株F149T未检测到侵袭力。染色及电镜试验进一步证实鸭源鸡杆菌Yu-PDS-RZ-1-SLG可黏附于HeLa细胞表面并侵入细胞内部。菌株经胰蛋白酶处理后,细菌的黏附率显著降低,表明细菌的表面蛋白参与黏附。黏附和入侵特性是鸭源鸡杆菌定殖在组织表面重要的能力,该细胞模型的建立为进一步研究其致病机制提供了条件。
