    BACKGROUND & AIMS: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been implicated in chronic and acute cerebral neuropathologies. IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), a naturally occurring protein that binds to IL-1 receptors without inducing signal transduction, blocks several actions of IL-1. IL-1ra acts at the local level and it also circulates in the bloodstream. We now report evidence for a biological function of IL-1ra in the brain as an endogenous neuroprotective molecule. Cerebral expression of IL-1ra mRNA is induced rapidly by focal cerebral ischemia in rats, and inhibition of the action of IL-1ra, by passive immuno-neutralization, markedly enhances ischemic damage. To our knowledge this is the first report of an action of endogenous IL-1ra in the brain. Control of IL-1ra expression or action may therefore provide a useful therapeutic strategy to limit acute neurodegeneration.

    背景与目标: 白介素-1(IL-1)已牵涉到慢性和急性脑神经病理学。 IL-1受体拮抗剂(IL-1ra)是一种与IL-1受体结合而不诱导信号转导的天然蛋白质,可阻断IL-1的多种作用。 IL-1ra在局部起作用,并且也在血液中循环。我们现在报告IL-1ra在脑中作为内源性神经保护分子的生物学功能的证据。大鼠局灶性脑缺血可快速诱导IL-1ra mRNA的脑表达,并且被动免疫中和抑制IL-1ra的作用可显着增强缺血性损伤。据我们所知,这是大脑中内源性IL-1ra作用的首次报道。因此,控制IL-1ra的表达或作用可能为限制急性神经变性提供了有用的治疗策略。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Immunocompromise after a major injury is presumed to be a predisposing factor for sepsis. Mice subjected to sublethal cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and challenged 5 days later with Pseudomonas aeruginosa had more bacterial growth in lung tissue, lower serum interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin (IL) 12,and higher serum IL-10 when compared with sham CLP mice challenged with Pseudomonas. To test the functional significance of these alterations in cytokine production in the immune response to bacteria, we administered IFN-gamma and anti-IL-10 to post-CLP mice before the Pseudomonas challenge. Administration of IFN-gamma and anti-IL-10 did not improve bacterial clearance or mortality in post-CLP mice. In further studies, we administered IFN-gamma to IL-10 knockout mice before a challenge with P. aeruginosa. Our results showed no significant differences in bacterial clearance or mortality in IL-10 knockout mice with or without IFN-gamma treatment compared with wild-type controls. Finally, because most mortality occurred within 2 to 3 days of the Pseudomonas challenge in the aforementioned studies and was likely associated with a marked proinflammatory response, we investigated the effect of IFN-gamma and anti-IL-10 on clearance of Pseudomonas in C3H/HeJ mice, which do not mount an exaggerated proinflammatory response to endotoxin or Gram-negative bacteria. Neither clearance of the Pseudomonas bacteria nor mortality was improved in C3H/HeJ mice receiving anti-IL-10 and IFN-gamma. These results suggest that the suppressed IFN-gamma and IL-12 responses, in combination with an exaggerated IL-10 response to P. aeruginosa challenge after injury, do not correlate with bacterial clearance or survival.
    背景与目标: :大伤后的免疫功能低下被认为是败血症的诱因。进行半致死盲肠结扎和穿刺(CLP)并在5天后用铜绿假单胞菌攻击的小鼠的肺组织中细菌生长更多,血清干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)和白介素(IL)12更低,而血清IL-10更高。与假单胞菌攻击的假CLP小鼠相比。为了测试这些变化对细菌免疫反应中细胞因子产生的功能意义,我们在假单胞菌攻击之前向CLP后小鼠施用了IFN-γ和抗IL-10。在CLP后小鼠中,IFN-γ和抗IL-10的使用不能改善细菌清除率或死亡率。在进一步的研究中,我们在铜绿假单胞菌攻击之前向IL-10敲除小鼠施用了IFN-γ。我们的结果表明,与野生型对照相比,接受或未接受IFN-γ治疗的IL-10基因敲除小鼠的细菌清除率或死亡率无显着差异。最后,由于在上述研究中大多数死亡发生在假单胞菌攻击后的2到3天内,并且可能与明显的促炎反应有关,因此我们研究了IFN-γ和抗IL-10对C3H / 3中假单胞菌清除的影响HeJ小鼠,对内毒素或革兰氏阴性细菌没有过度的促炎反应。接受抗IL-10和IFN-γ的C3H / HeJ小鼠的假单胞菌细菌清除率和死亡率均未提高。这些结果表明,损伤后抑制的IFN-γ和IL-12反应,加上对损伤后铜绿假单胞菌攻击的过度IL-10反应,与细菌清除率或存活率无关。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Abstract Type III interferon (IFN-λ) is a novel member of the interferon family, which preferentially promotes antiviral responses from epithelial cells and cooperates with type I IFNs in the clearance of viral infections. However, the effect of mIFN-λ2 to the LA795 lung adenocarcinoma cell is largely unknown. In this study, we transfected Ad-mIFN-λ2 vector into LA795 tumor-bearing mice to explore the effect of mIFN-λ2 on the proliferation of LA795 lung adenocarcinoma cell and on the immune response of the mice. Transfected by Ad-mIFN-λ2 vector, a significant decrease in the tumor growth, the subcutaneous tumor necrosis, cystic degeneration, and tumor apoptosis were more evident; at the same time, mIFN-λ2 protein and gene were significantly more expressed. And, flow cytometry analysis suggested that CD3(+)CD4(+), CD3(+)CD8(+), and NK (CD3(-)CD49(+)) cells were all significantly increased after transfected by Ad-mIFN-λ2. The study demonstrated that recombinant Ad-mIFN-λ2 transfection effectively inhibited the growth of LA795 lung adenocarcinoma cell, which may work through inducing apoptosis of tumor cell and regulating cell immune response.
    背景与目标: 摘要:III型干扰素(IFN-λ)是干扰素家族的一个新成员,它优先促进上皮细胞的抗病毒反应,并与I型干扰素协同作用以清除病毒感染。然而,很大程度上未知mIFN-λ2对LA795肺腺癌细胞的作用。在这项研究中,我们将Ad-mIFN-λ2载体转染到LA795荷瘤小鼠中,以研究mIFN-λ2对LA795肺腺癌细胞增殖和小鼠免疫反应的影响。 Ad-mIFN-λ2载体转染后,肿瘤生长明显减少,皮下肿瘤坏死,囊性变性和肿瘤细胞凋亡更为明显。同时,mIFN-λ2蛋白和基因的表达明显增加。并且,流式细胞仪分析表明,用Ad-mIFN-λ2转染后,CD3()CD4(),CD3()CD8()和NK(CD3(-)CD49())细胞均显着增加。研究表明重组Ad-mIFN-λ2转染有效抑制了LA795肺腺癌细胞的生长,其作用可能是通过诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡和调节细胞免疫应答来实现的。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: OBJECTIVE:To identify early clinical factors that are correlated with death or severe disability in paediatric patients who have sustained an injury by hanging or strangulation. METHODS:A retrospective review of all patient records from January 1, 1997, to September 30, 2007, was conducted. Patient records were identified by International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Canada diagnostic codes for asphyxia, strangulation, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, hanging, hypoxemia, hypoxia or anoxia. RESULTS:A total of 109 records were identified. Of these, 41 met the inclusion criteria for the study. Of 19 (46%) children who were pulse-less and received cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 16 died and the survivors were severely disabled. Of the 22 (54%) children who were found with a pulse, 18 made a full recovery. CONCLUSIONS:Children who are pulseless at discovery for hanging injuries are at high risk of death or severe disability. Early clinical and neurophysiological indicators should be applied systematically to best guide clinicians and parents in their decision making.
    背景与目标: 目的:确定与因吊死或绞窄而受伤的小儿患者的死亡或严重残疾相关的早期临床因素。
    方法:对1997年1月1日至2007年9月30日的所有患者记录进行回顾性回顾。通过国际疾病分类和相关健康问题分类(第十次修订版,加拿大)对窒息,窒息,缺氧缺血性脑病,悬挂,低氧血症,缺氧或缺氧的诊断代码确定了患者的记录。
    结果:共鉴定到109条记录。其中有41个符合研究的纳入标准。在19名(46%)无脉搏并接受心肺复苏的儿童中,有16人死亡,幸存者严重残疾。在发现有脉搏的22名儿童中(54%),其中18名完全康复。
    结论:发现悬吊伤害而无脉搏的儿童极有可能导致死亡或严重残疾。应系统地应用早期临床和神经生理指标,以最好地指导临床医生和父母进行决策。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: OBJECTIVE:Genetic susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease is well recognized. There is also increasing evidence for the activation of the mucosal immune system and the production of inflammatory cytokines, i.e., interleukin (IL)-1ra and IL-1beta in the inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the IL-1beta and IL-1ra gene polymorphism and linkage disequilibrium coefficient between the different alleles of these genes in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), according to the severity of the disease.

    METHODS:Two hundred twenty-eight inflammatory bowel disease patients (87 UC and 141 CD) were included in this study and compared with 113 unrelated controls. The IL-1beta and IL-1ra gene polymorphism was studied after specific amplification of variable regions by PCR. A penta-allelic polymorphism, corresponding to a VNTR region located in intron 2 of the IL-1ra gene, was analyzed, whereas bi-allelic RFLPs displayed by two restriction enzymes (TaqI and AvaI) at position -511 of the IL-1beta gene were analyzed.

    RESULTS:There was no significant difference of genotype distribution between controls and CD or UC patients. However, surgically treated UC patients were characterized by a higher frequency of genotype IL-1ra 1-2 (39 vs 16%, pc < 0.01) compared with nonoperated UC patients. Moreover, nonoperated UC patients displayed a lower frequency of IL-1ra allele 2 than surgically treated UC patients (14 vs 34%, pc < 0.002) or controls (14 vs 30%, pc < 0.005). Furthermore, simultaneous analysis of the IL-1beta and IL-1ra genes that are located in the same region of chromosome 2 revealed that CD patients carrying the IL-1beta allele 2 were more often noncarriers of IL-1ra allele 2 (p < 0.005). Moreover, UC and CD patients were, characterized by a lower frequency of the association of IL-1ra allele 2 and IL-1beta allele 2 compared with controls (8.3 vs 20.3% and 10.6 vs 20.3%, p < 0.03).

    CONCLUSIONS:IL-1ra and IL-1beta gene polymorphism analysis from a clinical standpoint might help in defining UC prognosis. However, functional studies at both the circulating and mucosal level with stratification on allele associations, especially IL-1ra allele 2-IL-1beta allele 2 subgroups must be realized before therapeutic implications.

    背景与目标: 目标:人们对炎症性肠病的遗传易感性已广为人知。也有越来越多的证据表明在炎症性肠病中粘膜免疫系统的活化和炎性细胞因子,即白介素(IL)-1ra和IL-1β的产生。这项研究的目的是分析克罗恩病(CD)或溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者的IL-1beta和IL-1ra基因多态性以及这些基因的不同等位基因之间的连锁不平衡系数。

    方法:该研究纳入了28位炎症性肠病患者(87 UC和141 CD),并将其与113位无关的对照组进行了比较。在通过PCR特异性扩增可变区之后,研究了IL-1β和IL-1ra基因多态性。分析了一个五等位基因多态性,对应于位于IL-1ra基因内含子2的VNTR区,而在IL-1beta基因第-511位的两个限制性酶(TaqI和AvaI)显示的双等位基因RFLP

    结果:对照组和CD或UC患者之间的基因型分布没有显着差异。然而,与未手术的UC患者相比,接受手术治疗的UC患者的特征在于基因型IL-1ra 1-2的发生频率更高(39%vs 16%,pc <0.01)。此外,未手术的UC患者显示出IL-1ra等位基因2的频率低于手术治疗的UC患者(14 vs 34%,pc <0.002)或对照组(14 vs 30%,pc <0.005)。此外,同时分析位于2号染色体同一区域的IL-1beta和IL-1ra基因发现,携带IL-1beta等位基因2的CD患者更常为IL-1ra等位基因2的非携带者(p <0.005) 。此外,UC和CD患者的特征是与对照组相比,IL-1ra等位基因2和IL-1β等位基因2的关联频率较低(8.3比20.3%和10.6比20.3%,p <0.03)。
    结论:从临床角度分析IL-1ra和IL-1beta基因多态性可能有助于确定UC的预后。但是,必须在循环和粘膜水平上对等位基因关联进行分层功能研究,尤其是IL-1ra等位基因2-IL-1beta等位基因2亚组。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: OBJECTIVES:To characterize the naturally occurring expanded-spectrum beta-lactamase from an Escherichia coli clinical isolate and to compare it with a wild-type beta-lactamase. METHODS:The chromosome-borne ampC genes from E. coli BER and E. coli EC2 were PCR amplified, sequenced and cloned into an expression vector. Antimicrobial susceptibilities of the parental isolate and the recombinant strains were determined by agar dilution methods. Kinetic parameters were determined from purified AmpC BER and AmpC EC2. RESULTS:AmpC BER was overexpressed in its original clinical isolate because of mutations in the promoter region of its gene at positions -42 and -18. The analysis of the ampC coding sequence revealed a 6 bp insertion when compared with the wild-type sequence leading to the tandem duplication of two alanine residues inside the H-10 helix. AmpC BER-producing recombinants were resistant to ceftazidime, had reduced susceptibility to other oxyiminocephalosporins (cefotaxime and cefepime), but had a greater susceptibility to cefoxitin when compared with the recombinant expressing the wild-type beta-lactamase AmpC EC2. The affinity of AmpC BER for cephalosporins and imipenem was increased, whereas the hydrolysis rate was decreased for all these compounds. In addition, the IC50 values of clavulanic acid and tazobactam for AmpC BER were increased. CONCLUSIONS:This work sheds new light on structure-function relationships of expanded-spectrum AmpC beta-lactamases.
    背景与目标: 目的:鉴定来自大肠杆菌临床分离株的天然存在的广谱β-内酰胺酶,并将其与野生型β-内酰胺酶进行比较。
    方法:PCR扩增来自大肠杆菌BER和大肠杆菌EC2的染色体传播的ampC基因,测序并克隆到表达载体中。通过琼脂稀释法测定亲本分离株和重组菌株的抗药性。动力学参数由纯化的AmpC BER和AmpC EC2确定。
    结果:AmpC BER在其原始临床分离株中过表达,因为其基因的启动子区域位于-42和-18位。 ampC编码序列的分析显示,与野生型序列相比,插入了6 bp,导致H-10螺旋内部两个丙氨酸残基串联重复。与表达野生型β-内酰胺酶AmpC EC2的重组体相比,产生AmpC BER的重组体对头孢他啶具有抗性,对其他氧亚氨基头孢菌素(头孢噻肟和头孢吡肟)的敏感性降低,但对头孢西丁的敏感性更高。 AmpC BER对头孢菌素和亚胺培南的亲和力增加,而所有这些化合物的水解速率均降低。此外,棒酸和他唑巴坦对AmpC BER的IC50值增加。
    结论:这项工作为广谱AmpCβ-内酰胺酶的结构-功能关系提供了新的思路。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been exploited as cellular vectors to treat a wide array of diseases but the mechanisms responsible for their therapeutic effect remain indeterminate. Previously, we reported that MSCs inhibit bleomycin (BLM)-induced inflammation and fibrosis within the lungs of mice. Interrogation of the MSC transcriptome identified interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) as a potential mediator of this effect. Fractionation studies indicated that MSCs are the principal source of IL1RN in murine bone marrow and that its expression is restricted to a unique subpopulation of cells. Moreover, MSC-conditioned media was shown to block proliferation of an IL-1alpha-dependent T cell line and inhibit production of TNF-alpha by activated macrophages in vitro. Studies conducted in mice revealed that MSC administration was more effective than recombinant IL1RN delivered via adenoviral infection or osmotic pumps in inhibiting BLM-induced increases in TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, and IL1RN mRNA in lung, IL1RN protein in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and trafficking of lymphocytes and neutrophils into the lung. Therefore, MSCs protect lung tissue from BLM-induced injury by blocking TNF-alpha and IL-1, two fundamental proinflammatory cytokines in lung. Identification of IL1RN-expressing human MSC subpopulations may provide a novel cellular vector for treating chronic inflammatory diseases in humans.
    背景与目标: 间充质干细胞(MSCs)已被用作治疗多种疾病的细胞载体,但其治疗效果的机制仍不确定。以前,我们报道了MSC抑制博来霉素(BLM)诱导的小鼠肺内炎症和纤维化。对MSC转录组的询问确定白介素1受体拮抗剂(IL1RN)是这种作用的潜在介体。分级研究表明,MSC是鼠骨髓中IL1RN的主要来源,其表达仅限于细胞的独特亚群。此外,MSC条件培养基显示在体外可阻断IL-1alpha依赖性T细胞系的增殖并抑制巨噬细胞活化TNF-α的产生。在小鼠中进行的研究表明,与通过腺病毒感染或渗透泵输送的重组IL1RN相比,MSC抑制BLM诱导的肺中TNF-α,IL-1alpha和IL1RN mRNA的增加,支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)中的IL1RN蛋白的抑制作用更有效。液体,以及淋巴细胞和中性粒细胞向肺的运输。因此,MSC通过阻断TNF-α和IL-1(肺中两种基本的促炎细胞因子)来保护肺组织免受BLM诱导的损伤。鉴定表达IL1RN的人MSC亚群可以提供用于治疗人的慢性炎性疾病的新型细胞载体。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:Time trade-off (TTO) exercises typically present respondents with a limited time horizon, for example 10 years, thus implicitly considerably reducing remaining life expectancy for the average respondent. It is unclear how this affects health state valuations. AIM:The aim of the study is to investigate how awareness of the reduced life span implied by a 10-year TTO affects health state valuations, using an experimental design. METHODS:Two Web-based questionnaires (Q1 and Q2) were administered in a sample representative of the Dutch population. Both questionnaires contained three 10-year TTO exercises valuing three distinct health states, specified using the EQ-5D. Q1 used a TTO instruction not explicitly emphasizing the fact that remaining life expectancy was reduced to 10 years, while in Q2 respondents were explicitly made aware of this fact by emphasizing their implied age of death. Respondents answering Q1 were asked retrospectively whether they had been aware of their reduced life span due to the 10-year TTO. RESULTS:In total, 656 respondents completed the questionnaires (Q1: 339 and Q2: 317). The average age of the respondents was 43 years and 51 % of respondents were male. The average numbers of years traded off for the respondents of Q1 were for TTO1 0.443, TTO2 0.552, and TTO3 2.083 years. For the respondents of Q2, these averages were lower, i.e., TTO1 0.401 (p = 0.085 vs. Q1), TTO2: 0.546 (p = 0.036 vs. Q1), and TTO3: 1.467 years (p = 0.000 vs. Q1). Fifty-seven percent of respondents in Q1 confirmed that they were aware of the reduced life span. This spontaneous awareness had a limited and mixed influence on results. The generalized negative binomial regression analysis, explaining the time traded off showed that age, subjective life expectancy, and questionnaire Q2 (vs. Q1) were negatively associated with the years traded off, whereas education and worse health states in the TTO exercise had a significant positive impact on the years traded off. The probit model investigating the impact on the willingness to trade showed that age (-), education (+), subjective life expectancy (-), questionnaire Q2 versus Q1 (-), the interaction between Q2 and male gender (+), and worse health states in the TTO exercise (+) had a significant impact on the willingness to trade. CONCLUSION:These findings emphasize the importance of expected and implied life expectancy in TTOs.
    背景与目标: 背景:时间权衡(TTO)练习通常为受访者提供有限的时间范围(例如10年),从而隐含地大大降低了平均受访者的剩余预期寿命。目前尚不清楚这如何影响健康状况评估。
    目的:该研究的目的是使用实验设计,调查对10年TTO所隐含的寿命缩短的认识如何影响健康状况评估。
    方法:在代表荷兰人口的样本中进行了两份基于Web的问卷(Q1和Q2)。两份问卷均包含三个为期10年的TTO演习,评估了使用EQ-5D指定的三种不同的健康状态。第一季度使用的是TTO指令,没有明确强调预期寿命会缩短至10年,而第二季度的受访者则通过强调其隐性死亡年龄来明确意识到这一事实。回顾性地回答了回答第一季度的受访者,他们是否知道由于10年的TTO而缩短了寿命。
    结果:共有656名受访者完成了问卷(第一季度:339;第二季度:317)。受访者的平均年龄为43岁,而51%的受访者为男性。第一季度受访者需要权衡的平均年数为TTO1 0.443,TTO2 0.552和TTO3 2.083年。对于第二季度的受访者来说,这些平均值较低,即TTO1 0.401(p = 0.085 vs.Q1),TTO2:0.546(p = 0.036 vs.Q1)和TTO3:1.467年(p = 0.000 vs.Q1)。第一季度有57%的受访者确认他们知道寿命缩短了。这种自发的意识对结果的影响有限而又复杂。广义负二项式回归分析解释了折衷的时间,表明年龄,主观预期寿命和问卷Q2(相对于Q1)与折衷的年负相关,而TTO锻炼中的教育程度和健康状况较差对折中年的积极影响。概率模型对贸易意愿的影响进行了调查,结果显示年龄(-),教育程度(),主观预期寿命(-),调查问卷Q2与Q1(-),Q2与男性之间的相互作用()和健康状况较差TTO演习中的州()对贸易意愿产生了重大影响。
    结论:这些发现强调了预期和隐含的预期寿命在TTO中的重要性。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:Interleukin (IL)-9 drives gut inflammation, but its role in Crohn's disease (CD) is unclear. We aimed to analyze correlations between serum IL-9 levels and disease severity and to evaluate their predictive value in relation to the clinical efficacy of infliximab (IFX) in patients with CD. METHODS:Between January 2013 and December 2015, 100 consecutive patients with active CD and 50 age- and sex-matched control individuals were recruited from a tertiary center. Their serum IL-9 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations between the serum IL-9 levels and disease severity were examined. The serum IL-9 level was explored as a predictor of clinical remission and mucosal healing at week 30 in 50 patients for whom IFX therapy was administered. RESULTS:The serum IL-9 levels were significantly higher in the patients with active CD (22.0 pg/mL) than in the control individuals (6.3 pg/mL) (P < 0.001); they differed according to disease severity (moderate-to-severe CD: 29.1 pg/mL versus mild CD: 12.9 pg/mL) (P < 0.001), and they correlated well with the clinical activity of CD. IFX lowered the serum IL-9 level in patients who achieved efficacy at week 30. The areas under the curves for the IL-9 levels at weeks 14 and 30 that could predict clinical remission and mucosal healing at week 30 were 0.803 and 0.752 and 0.746 and 0.781, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Serum IL-9 levels correlate with disease severity and the clinical efficacy of IFX in patients with CD, and IL-9 may be a promising novel biomarker for CD monitoring.
    背景与目标: 背景:白介素(IL)-9可驱动肠道炎症,但其在克罗恩病(CD)中的作用尚不清楚。我们旨在分析血清IL-9水平与疾病严重程度之间的相关性,并评估其与英夫利昔单抗(IFX)在CD患者中的临床疗效相关的预测价值。
    方法:2013年1月至2015年12月,从三级中心招募了100例连续的活动性CD患者和50例年龄和性别匹配的对照个体。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法测量其血清IL-9水平。检查血清IL-9水平与疾病严重程度之间的相关性。在接受IFX治疗的50例患者中,血清IL-9水平在30周时可作为临床缓解和粘膜愈合的预测指标。
    结果:活动性CD患者的血清IL-9水平显着高于对照组(6.3 pg / mL)(22.0 pg / mL)(P <0.001);它们根据疾病的严重程度而有所不同(中度至重度CD:29.1 pg / mL,轻度CD:12.9 pg / mL)(P <0.001),并且它们与CD的临床活性密切相关。 IFX降低了在30周时达到疗效的患者的血清IL-9水平。在14周和30周时可预测临床缓解和粘膜愈合的IL-9水平曲线下面积分别为0.803和0.752和0.746和0.781。
    结论:血清IL-9水平与CD患者的疾病严重程度和IFX的临床疗效相关,并且IL-9可能是有前途的新型CD监测生物标志物。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Previous studies conducted in Western cultures have shown that negative emotions predict higher levels of pro-inflammatory biomarkers, specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6). This link between negative emotions and IL-6 may be specific to Western cultures where negative emotions are perceived to be problematic and thus may not extend to Eastern cultures where negative emotions are seen as acceptable and normal. Using samples of 1044 American and 382 Japanese middle-aged and older adults, we investigated whether the relationship between negative emotions and IL-6 varies by cultural context. Negative emotions predicted higher IL-6 among American adults, whereas no association was evident among Japanese adults. Furthermore, the interaction between culture and negative emotions remained even after controlling for demographic variables, psychological factors (positive emotions, neuroticism, extraversion), health behaviors (smoking status, alcohol consumption), and health status (chronic conditions, BMI). These findings highlight the role of cultural context in shaping how negative emotions affect inflammatory physiology and underscore the importance of cultural ideas and practices relevant to negative emotions for understanding of the interplay between psychology, physiology, and health.
    背景与目标: :以前在西方文化中进行的研究表明,负面情绪预示着较高的促炎性生物标志物,特别是白介素6(IL-6)。消极情绪与IL-6之间的这种联系可能特定于西方文化,在该文化中,消极情绪被认为是有问题的,因此可能不会扩展到东方文化,在东方文化中,消极情绪被视为可以接受并且是正常的。我们使用1044名美国人和382名日本中年和老年人的样本,调查了负面情绪与IL-6之间的关系是否因文化背景而异。负面情绪预示着美国成年人IL-6升高,而日本成年人却没有明显的关联。此外,即使在控制了人口统计学变量,心理因素(正性情绪,神经质,外向性),健康行为(吸烟状况,饮酒)和健康状况(慢性状况,BMI)之后,文化与负面情绪之间的相互作用仍然存在。这些发现强调了文化背景在塑造负面情绪如何影响炎症生理方面的作用,并强调了与负面情绪相关的文化观念和实践对于理解心理学,生理学和健康之间相互作用的重要性。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The key component in the so-called EPRI effective dose equivalent (EDE) methodology is an algorithm that utilizes two dosimeters (instead of multiple dosimeters) to predict the EDE for external photon exposures. The exposure scenarios that were previously studied in deriving the algorithm include parallel photon beams and point sources 33 cm from the body surface. The motivation for this study was the need to investigate source locations within 33 cm from the body so the method is more widely applicable. The ORNL stylized mathematical human phantoms and the MCNP code were used to calculate organ doses in this study. This paper presents the EDE data for point gamma sources at 0.3, 1.0, and 1.5 MeV, respectively, which are located at 10 cm from the surface of the body. The results and analyses show that the locations ranging from the overhead to the foot have resulted in conservative ratios except for two general regions near the front upper thigh and directly overhead. If all locations considered in this study were averaged for each photon energy, the overall ratio is on the conservative side. These data suggest that the EPRI EDE methodology is still valid for sources located 10 cm from the body, although the chance for resulting in a non-conservative estimate of the EDE has increased in comparison with the sources located at 30 cm from the body. Finally, this paper provides recommendations on how to apply the EPRI EDE methodology.
    背景与目标: :所谓的EPRI有效剂量当量(EDE)方法中的关键组件是一种算法,该算法利用两个剂量计(而不是多个剂量计)来预测外部光子暴露的EDE。先前在推导算法时曾研究过的曝光场景包括平行光子束和距体表33 cm的点光源。这项研究的动机是需要调查距人体33厘米以内的放射源位置,因此该方法更广泛地适用。在本研究中,使用了ORNL程式化的数学人体模型和MCNP代码来计算器官剂量。本文介绍了分别位于距人体表面10 cm处的0.3 MeV,1.0 MeV和1.5 MeV的点伽马源的EDE数据。结果和分析表明,从头顶到脚的位置范围导致了保守的比率,除了大腿前上方和直接头顶附近的两个一般区域。如果在本研究中考虑的所有位置均针对每种光子能量求平均值,则总体比率处于保守的一面。这些数据表明,EPRI EDE方法对于距离人体10厘米处的放射源仍然有效,尽管与位于人体30厘米处的放射源相比,导致EDE非保守估计的机会有所增加。最后,本文提供了有关如何应用EPRI EDE方法的建议。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The inflammatory cytokine cascade plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, a novel human cytokine, interleukin-32, was reported to induce tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Interleukin-32 is expressed primarily in lymphoid tissues and leukocytes, but also in stimulated epithelial cells and synovial fibroblasts. Although the interleukin-32 receptor has not been reported, interleukin-32 can induce other inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and interleukin-6 from monocytes/macrophages in vitro and in vivo, and it synergizes with signals from pattern-recognition receptors. Notably, in the inflamed synovial tissues from rheumatoid arthritis patients, interleukin-32 is prominently expressed and correlates with the severity of arthritis and the expression of other cytokines, including TNF-alpha and interleukin-1. In experimental mice models of arthritis, joint injection of interleukin-32 induces joint inflammation, and overexpression of interleukin-32beta in hematopoietic cells exacerbates collagen-induced arthritis. Interleukin-32 can thus be seen to play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.
    背景与目标: :炎性细胞因子级联在类风湿关节炎的发病机理中起着关键作用。最近,有报道称一种新型的人类细胞因子白介素32可以诱导肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α。白细胞介素32主要在淋巴组织和白细胞中表达,但在受刺激的上皮细胞和滑膜成纤维细胞中也表达。尽管尚未报道白细胞介素32受体,但白细胞介素32可以在体外和体内从单核细胞/巨噬细胞诱导其他炎症细胞因子,如TNF-α,白细胞介素1β和白细胞介素6,并且与模式信号协同作用。识别受体。值得注意的是,在类风湿性关节炎患者的滑膜组织发炎中,白细胞介素32显着表达并与关节炎的严重程度以及包括TNF-α和白细胞介素-1在内的其他细胞因子的表达相关。在关节炎的实验小鼠模型中,联合注射白介素32会诱发关节发炎,而造血细胞中白介素32β的过度表达会加剧胶原蛋白诱发的关节炎。由此可见,白细胞介素32在类风湿关节炎的发病机理中起重要作用。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Staphylococcus epidermidis infections are usually nosocomial and involve colonization of biomaterials. The immune defense system cannot efficiently control the bacteria during these infections, which often results in protracted chronic inflammation, in which a key event is disturbed removal of neutrophils by tissue macrophages. While ingesting uninfected apoptotic neutrophils, macrophages release anti-inflammatory cytokines that lead to resolution of inflammation. In clinical studies, we have previously found elevated levels of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 in synovial fluid from prostheses infected with coagulase negative staphylococci. We show that macrophages phagocytosing apoptotic neutrophils containing S. epidermidis released TNF-alpha and interleukin-6, whereas macrophages phagocytosing spontaneously apoptotic neutrophils did not. This difference was not due to dissimilar phagocytic capacities, because macrophages ingested both types of neutrophils to the same extent. The activation was induced mainly by the apoptotic neutrophils themselves, not by the few remaining extracellular bacteria. Macrophages were not activated by apoptotic neutrophils that contained paraformaldehyde-killed S. epidermidis. Proinflammatory reactions induced by clearance of apoptotic neutrophils containing S. epidermidis might represent an important mechanism to combat the infective agent. This activation of macrophages may contribute to the development of chronic inflammation instead of inflammation resolution.
    背景与目标: :表皮葡萄球菌感染通常在医院内发生,涉及生物材料的定殖。在这些感染过程中,免疫防御系统无法有效控制细菌,这通常会导致长期的慢性炎症,其中关键事件是组织巨噬细胞对嗜中性白细胞的去除受到干扰。在摄取未感染的凋亡中性粒细胞时,巨噬细胞释放抗炎细胞因子,导致炎症消退。在临床研究中,我们以前发现来自被凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌感染的假体的滑液中促炎细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-alpha)和白介素6的水平升高。我们显示巨噬细胞吞噬含有表皮葡萄球菌的凋亡嗜中性粒细胞释放TNF-α和白介素6,而巨噬细胞吞噬自发性凋亡的嗜中性粒细胞则没有。这种差异不是由于吞噬能力不同而引起的,因为巨噬细胞会以相同程度摄入两种类型的中性粒细胞。活化主要是由凋亡的中性粒细胞本身诱导的,而不是由少数剩余的细胞外细菌诱导的。巨噬细胞没有被凋亡的嗜中性粒细胞激活,所述嗜中性粒细胞含有多聚甲醛杀死的表皮葡萄球菌。由含有表皮葡萄球菌的凋亡中性粒细胞清除引起的促炎反应可能代表了与传染病作斗争的重要机制。巨噬细胞的这种活化可能有助于慢性炎症的发展,而不是炎症的消退。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :A search for inhibitors of the IL-6-mediated signal transduction in HepG2 cells using secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) as reporter gene resulted in the isolation of galiellalactone (1) from fermentations of the ascomycete strain A111-95. Galiellalactone inhibits the IL-6-induced SEAP expression with IC(50) values of 250-500 nM by blocking the binding of the activated Stat3 dimers to their DNA binding sites without inhibiting the tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of the Stat3 transcription factor. Due to its selective activity, galiellalactone may serve as a lead compound for the development of new therapeutic agents for diseases originating from the inappropriate expression of IL-6 and as molecular tool to dissect the JAK/STAT pathways.
    背景与目标: :使用分泌的碱性磷酸酶(SEAP)作为报告基因寻找HepG2细胞中IL-6介导的信号转导抑制剂,从而从子囊菌菌株A111-95的发酵中分离了加利拉内酯(1)。 Galiellalactone通过阻止激活的Stat3二聚体与其DNA结合位点的结合,而不会抑制Stat3转录因子的酪氨酸和丝氨酸磷酸化,从而抑制IL-6诱导的SEAP表达,其IC(50)值为250-500 nM。由于加利拉内酯的选择性活性,它可以作为开发新型治疗剂的先导化合物,用于治疗因IL-6表达不当而引起的疾病,并可以作为解剖JAK / STAT途径的分子工具。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The influence of an immunosuppressive cytokine, interleukin-10 (IL-10), on the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been increasingly reported recently. A number of polymorphisms appear to control the level of IL-10 production. Among them, -592C/A, -819C/T and -1082G/A in the IL-10 gene are three most studied single nucleotide polymorphisms. To provide a more definitive conclusion about their association with the risk of HCV infection, a meta-analysis was performed by combining and summarizing a total of 17 studies. A biological justification for the choice of genetic model was provided. The results indicated no significant association between these IL-10 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to HCV infection [-592C/A: odds ratio (OR) 0.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78-1.25; -819C/T: OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.69-1.18; -1082G/A: OR 1.34, 95% CI 0.90-2.00]. However, this analysis did not account for the possible risk modifications by other factors, such as ethnicity and virus persistence. Therefore, the effects of ethnicity and virus persistence were investigated using Bayesian meta-regression and subgroup analysis. Finally, an extended case-control association study was conducted in a Chinese population involving 1140 subjects. Both serum level and genotype data of IL-10 -1082G/A were determined. As a result, a low prevalence of G allele was observed. Significantly higher IL-10 production was observed in HCV patients, especially patients with the GG genotype.
    背景与目标: 免疫抑制细胞因子白介素10(IL-10)对丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染结局的影响最近已有报道。许多多态性似乎可以控制IL-10的产生水平。其中,IL-10基因中的-592C / A,-819C / T和-1082G / A是三个研究最多的单核苷酸多态性。为了提供关于它们与HCV感染风险之间关系的更明确的结论,通过合并和总结总共17项研究进行了荟萃分析。提供了选择遗传模型的生物学依据。结果表明,这些IL-10多态性与HCV感染的易感性之间没有显着相关性[-592C / A:优势比(OR)0.99,95%置信区间(CI)0.78-1.25; -819C / T:OR 0.90,95%CI 0.69-1.18; -1082G / A:OR 1.34,95%CI 0.90-2.00]。但是,此分析未考虑其他因素(例如种族和病毒持久性)可能造成的风险调整。因此,使用贝叶斯元回归和亚组分析研究了种族和病毒持久性的影响。最后,在一个涉及1140名受试者的中国人群中进行了扩展的病例对照研究。测定IL-10 -1082G / A的血清水平和基因型数据。结果,观察到G等位基因的低流行。在HCV患者中,尤其是具有GG基因型的患者中,IL-10的产生明显增加。
