Comparison of dot blot hybridization, polymerase chain reaction, and virus isolation for detection of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) in artificially infected bovine semen.

Bovine semen samples spiked with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) were used to compare dot blot hybridization, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and virus isolation for detection of BHV-1 in bovine semen. The PCR amplification used primers targeting the BHV-1 thymidine kinase gene and a nucleic acid releasing cocktail (GeneReleaser); the PCR product was used as the DNA probe in dot blot hybridization; virus isolation was done in primary bovine fetal testis (BFT) cell cultures. Semen diluted 1:20 in tissue culture medium had the least cytotoxicity and inhibition of viral cytopathic effects in BFT cells, allowing detection of 1 TCID50/100 microL of BHV-1 suspension by virus isolation. The presence of foreign DNA such as bovine sperm DNA or salmon sperm DNA increased the sensitivity of dot blot hybridization in detecting BHV-1, allowing detection of 20,000 TCID50/100 microL of neat semen. The inhibition of PCR amplification of BHV-1 DNA in bovine semen was eliminated by diluting the samples 1:20 in tissue culture medium. The best PCR amplification was obtained when semen was diluted 1:20 and when a reaction buffer of pH 9.0, with 1.0 mM MgCl2 was used. Under these conditions, the PCR followed by ethidium bromide staining of agarose gels could detect 1 TCID20/100 microL of sample, whereas PCR followed by Southern blot hybridization could detect 0.01 TCID50/100 microL of sample.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

原发性肾病综合征患者血、尿γ-干扰素的检测及其临床意义

目的：为进一步阐明γ—干扰素(IFN—γ)在原发性肾病综合征(PNS)发生发展中的作用及检测IFN—γ的临床诊断价值。方法：对32例PNS患者及10例正常人血清、尿液IFN—γ的水平进行检测，并结合PNS病理类型及其他临床指标进行分析。结果：系膜增生性肾炎(MesPGN)患者尿IFN—γ水平显著高于正常对照组，而非增生性肾炎组却与对照组差异无显著性；其次，尿IFN—γ水平与尿纤维蛋白(原)降解产物(FDP)浓度呈正相关；但与血肌酐(Ser)、血清肌酐清除率(Ccr)、24h尿蛋白定量(24hUPQ)无相关性。血清IFN—γ水平各组问差别无统计学意义。结论：IFN—γ参与增生型PNS免疫性肾损伤过程，并可能通过局部方式起作用，尿IFN—γ检测有可能作为区分增生性肾炎和非增生性肾炎的指标。     

In vivo kinetic study on uptake and distribution of intramuscular tritium-labeled polysulfated glycosaminoglycan in equine body fluid compartments and articular cartilage in an osteochondrial defect model

The uptake and distribution of intramuscularly (IM) administered tritium-labeled polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (³H-PSGAG) in serum, synovial fluid, and articular cartilage of eight horses was quantitated, and hyaluronic acid (HA) concentration of the middle carpal joint was evaluated in a pharmacokinetic study. A full-thickness articular cartilage defect, created on the distal articular surface of the left radial carpal bone of each horse served as an osteochondral defect model. ³H-PSGAG (500 mg) was injected IM, between 14 and 35 days after creation of the defects. Scintillation analysis of serum and synovial fluid, collected from both middle carpal joints at specific predetermined times up to 96 hours post-injection, revealed mean ³H-PSGAG concentrations peaked at 2 hours post-injection. ³H-PSGAG was detected in cartilage and subchondral bone 96 hours post-injection in samples from all eight horses. There were no statistically significant differences in ³H-PSGAG concentration of synovial fluid or cartilage between cartilage defect and control (right middle carpal) joints.

HA assay of synovial fluid revealed concentrations significantly increased at 24, 48, and 96 hours post-injection in both joints. The concentration nearly doubled 48 hours post-injection. However, no statistically significant differences were found between synovial concentrations of HA in cartilage defect and control joints.

³H-PSGAG administered IM to horses, was distributed in the blood, synovial fluid, and articular cartilage. HA concentrations in synovial fluid increased after IM administration of polysulfated glycosaminoglycan.

王先谦汉学研究与书院传播

王先谦是晚清一位重要的汉学大师。受道光以后晚来湖湘汉学之风和督学江南时江浙考据学派的影响 ,王先谦的治学呈现明显的汉学倾向 ;在湖湘理学传统和晚清经世思潮的影响下 ,王先谦的汉学又不同于传统的乾嘉汉学 ,已走出纯粹的考据而呈现出既趋重经史考据 ,又能调和汉宋、兼采古今、求实致用的多途取向。王先谦一生治学讲学 ,始终没有离开过书院。正是借由如南菁、思贤、城南、岳麓等书院 ,王先谦为传播汉学做出了重要贡献。
