在大多数工业化国家,过敏性疾病的发病率已经上升。尽管这种快速扩张背后的具体因素仍然令人怀疑,但各种空气污染物一直是一个突出的致病因素。流行病学和毒理学研究表明,空气污染物与哮喘、过敏性鼻炎、荨麻疹和其他皮肤过敏问题的扩大发生之间存在因果关系。其中包括臭氧、二氧化氮,尤其是由交通相关和现代运动产生的颗粒物。确凿的流行病学证据支持空气污染与哮喘、航空过敏和皮肤过敏加剧之间存在联系。大多数过敏(主要是皮肤过敏)是无法治疗的,除非它们可以通过类固醇和疫苗(长期治疗)来抑制。

The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacter species is alarmingly high. Colistin as a last resort antibiotic reintroduced in the treatment pipeline to combat the drug resistant Enterobacter infection has led to emergence of colistin resistance. The study was designed to determine the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among isolated Enterobacter and to assess the occurrence of colistin resistance both phenotypically and genotypically in a tertiary care hospital, Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was conducted during the period July2018 to June 2019. A total 350 different samples were processed. Enterobacter were identified phenotypically and were processed for antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) by using modified disk diffusion method. Colistin resistance was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using agar dilution method. Colistin resistant strains were further processed for colistin resistance genes using polymerase chain rection (PCR). Among the total samples processed, 65.14% (228/350) yielded culture positive growth of which 12.28% (28/228) were Enterobacter species. Among isolated Enterobacter 22 (9.64%) were E. cloacae and 6 (2.63%) were E. aerogenes. In AST, 89.29%, 57.14% and 42.86% were resistant to ciprofloxacin, amikacin and imipenem respectively. Tigecycline and colistin were most effective antibiotics. Among colistin resistant Enterobacter isolates, 85.71%, 71.42%, 42.85% and 57.14% were positive for PmrC, PmrA, PhoP and PmrB respectively detected by PCR. Our study reports identification and distribution of drug resistant Enterobacter strains in a major tertiary care hospital. High prevalence of drug resistance and emergence of colistin resistance is indicative of deteriorating situation. Therefore, further extensive surveillance is mandatory.
肠杆菌种类中抗菌素耐药性的流行率高得惊人。粘菌素作为治疗管道中重新引入的最后一种抗生素,以对抗耐药肠杆菌感染,导致粘菌素耐药性的出现。该研究旨在确定分离的肠杆菌中抗生素耐药性的流行情况,并评估孟加拉国一家三级保健医院中粘菌素耐药性的表型和基因表型发生情况。这项横断面研究于2018年7月至2019年6月期间进行。总共处理了350个不同的样品。采用改良纸片扩散法对肠杆菌进行表型鉴定和药敏试验。用琼脂稀释法测定最小抑菌浓度(MIC)。采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)对耐粘菌素菌株进行进一步的耐药基因处理。在处理的样品中,65.14%(228/350)培养阳性,其中肠杆菌为12.28%(28/228)。其中,阴沟肠杆菌22例(9.64%),产气肠杆菌6例(2.63%)。AST患者对环丙沙星、阿米卡星和亚胺培南的耐药率分别为89.29%、57.14%和42.86%。替加环素和粘菌素是最有效的抗生素。在耐粘菌素肠杆菌中,PCR检测PmrC、PmrA、PhoP和PmrB的阳性率分别为85.71%、71.42%、42.85%和57.14%。我们的研究报告了在一家主要的三级保健医院中耐药肠杆菌菌株的鉴定和分布。耐药性的高流行率和粘菌素耐药性的出现表明情况正在恶化。因此,进一步的广泛监视是强制性的。

Our current hypothesis is that there is differential antibody level and quality between the sexes. This is based on earlier work in schistosomiasis showing higher levels of antibodies in females. Females have also been shown to have lower malaria parasite density although the explanation for this was thought to be hormonal.
我们目前的假设是两性之间存在不同的抗体水平和质量。这是基于早期对血吸虫病的研究表明,女性体内的抗体水平较高。女性也有较低的疟疾寄生虫密度,尽管这被认为是荷尔蒙的原因。

Abstract Skin aging is a natural phenomenon witnessed by humans. However various intrinsic and extrinsic factors lead to early skin aging. There have been a variety of approaches to combat skin aging one approach uses antioxidants that are known to fight oxidative stress as well as combat problems of aging. In this study, the antioxidant and anti-skin aging properties of sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) from fresh water microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr) are evaluated. Sulfated polysaccharides were isolated by hot water extraction method and purified by anion-exchange chromatography. The biochemical composition of the extract showed carbohydrate content of 785.07 mg/g, 324.26 mg/g of sulphate and 393.32 mg/g of uronic acid. These extracts which are enriched with SPs were further used for checking antioxidant and anti-skin aging properties. Cr-SPs showed Superoxide anion scavenging activity of 38-92% at 0.1-2 mg/mL, 51-89% of nitric oxide scavenging ability at 0.2-2 mg/mL, 10-58% of hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability at 1- 10 mg/mL, and 28-68% of ferric ion reducing potential at 0.5-5 mg/mL respectively. Furthermore, Cr-SPs showed 90% anti-elastase enzyme activity at 1 mg/mL, 83% and 89% anti-collagenase and anti-hyaluronidase activities at 1 mg/mL and 2 mg/mL respectively. These promising antioxidant and anti- skin aging properties of Cr-SPs pave way to explore the potential of Cr-SPs in cosmeceutic and pharmaceutical formulations as anti-skin aging agents in a cost-effective manner.
皮肤老化是人类目睹的一种自然现象。然而,各种内在和外在因素导致皮肤过早老化。对抗皮肤老化的方法有很多,其中一种方法是使用抗氧化剂,这种抗氧化剂可以对抗氧化应激,也可以对抗衰老问题。本研究对淡水微藻莱茵衣藻(Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Cr)硫酸酸化多糖(SPs)的抗氧化和抗皮肤老化性能进行了研究。硫酸酸化多糖采用热水萃取法分离,阴离子交换色谱法纯化。提取液的生化成分为碳水化合物含量785.07 mg/g,硫酸盐含量324.26 mg/g,醛酸含量393.32 mg/g。这些富含SPs的提取物进一步用于检测抗氧化和抗皮肤老化性能。Cr-SPs在0.1-2 mg/mL浓度下的超氧阴离子清除率为38-92%,在0.2-2 mg/mL浓度下的一氧化氮清除率为51-89%,在1- 10 mg/mL浓度下的过氧化氢清除率为10-58%,在0.5-5 mg/mL浓度下的铁离子还原电位为28-68%。此外,Cr-SPs在1 mg/mL时抗弹性酶活性为90%,在1 mg/mL和2 mg/mL时抗胶原酶和透明质酸酶活性分别为83%和89%。Cr-SPs具有良好的抗氧化和抗皮肤老化性能,为探索Cr-SPs在药妆和药物配方中作为抗皮肤老化剂的潜力铺平了道路。

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (ETEC) is an important cause for diarrheal disease in children and travelers globally. Epidemiological data on the distribution of strains of ETEC and associated colonization factors (CFs) is important for evaluation of candidate vaccines. We used conventional PCR and quantitative PCR to screen for toxins and CFs using DNA extracted from stool samples which tested positive for ETEC using the Luminex GPP panel collected from children presenting with moderate to severe diarrhea at selected health facilities in Lusaka. 49/106 (46.2%) were positive for at least one toxin (i.e. LT/STh/STp), ST was 18 (17%) [STh 16(15%) and STp 2 (~2%)], and LT 16(15%). The most frequent CF detected was CS6 with 6/49 (12.2%), followed by CS2, CS3 and CS7 with 2/49 (4.1%) each. CS6 was common across all toxin combinations (LT only, STh only and a combination of LT/STh) while CS2, CS3, CS7 were identified in both LT and LT/STh strains respectively. The mean age of children with detected toxin or CFs was 15.4 months (95% CI: 12.2, 18.7). Our results offer an insight into relevant CFs in ETEC diarrhea in Zambia and that Luminex™ platform is not as specific as ordinary and quantitative PCR for ETEC detection.
产肠毒素大肠杆菌(ETEC)是全球儿童和旅行者腹泻疾病的重要病因。关于ETEC菌株分布和相关定植因子(CFs)的流行病学数据对于评价候选疫苗很重要。我们使用传统PCR和定量PCR技术,利用从卢萨卡选定的卫生机构收集的中重度腹泻儿童粪便样本中提取的DNA筛选毒素和CFs,这些粪便样本使用Luminex GPP面板检测ETEC呈阳性,49/106(46.2%)至少有一种毒素(即LT/STh/STp)呈阳性,ST为18 (17%)[STh 16(15%)和STp 2 (~2%)], LT 16(15%)。最常见的CF是CS6,为6/49(12.2%),其次是CS2、CS3和CS7,各为2/49(4.1%)。CS6在所有毒素组合(LT单独、STh单独和LT/STh组合)中都很常见,而CS2、CS3、CS7分别在LT和LT/STh菌株中被鉴定出来。检测到毒素或CFs的儿童平均年龄为15.4个月(95% CI: 12.2, 18.7)。我们的研究结果提供了对赞比亚ETEC腹泻相关CFs的深入了解,并且Luminex™平台在ETEC检测方面不如普通PCR和定量PCR特异性强。

Background/Objectives: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is a disease with a poor prognosis. Hepatitis B (HBV)/Hepatitis C (HCV) viruses are hepatotropic pathogens with pro-carcinogenic properties able to attack also the pancreas. Although several trials, mainly carried out in the USA and in the Eastern Countries, strongly suggested that HBV/HCV exert a role in PAC development, no study on this topic was still performed in Italy. Through this present work, we aimed to assess HBV antigens/antibodies and anti-HCV antibodies prevalence in a small cohort of Italian patients with PAC, irrespective of the other risk factors for PAC development, like smoking, alcohol drinking, and diabetes.Methods: This pivotal-retrospective-study was led both at Surgery Unit of Maggiore Hospital, (Bologna) and at Unit of Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy of Sandro Pertini Hospital, (Rome). Data concerning age, sex, pancreatic cancer localization (head, body, tail) and serum HBV/HCV profiles of subjects with a histological/radiological/biochemical diagnosis of PAC were collected from files concerning pancreatectomy and endoscopic-retrograde-cholangiopancreatography (ERCPs).Results: It was found that 4 patients were HBsAg positive and 28 were HBsAb/HBcAb-positive, with a prevalence equal to 1% and 7.5%, respectively. Sixteen patients were HCV positive, with a prevalence equal to 4.3%.Conclusions: Our observational study describes, for the first time in our Country, HBsAg, HBsAb/HBcAb and HCV prevalence in a small-sized cohort of patients suffering from PAC. Despite no definitive conclusions on the association between HBV/HCV infection and PAC may be drawn, our research could represent the basis for additional epidemiological/histological nationwide trials in Italy.
背景/目的:胰腺腺癌(PAC)是一种预后较差的疾病。乙型肝炎(HBV)/丙型肝炎(HCV)病毒是嗜肝性病原体,具有致癌性,也能攻击胰腺。尽管主要在美国和东方国家进行的几项试验强烈表明HBV/HCV在PAC发展中发挥作用,但在意大利仍未进行有关该主题的研究。通过目前的工作,我们旨在评估HBV抗原/抗体和抗hcv抗体在一小群意大利PAC患者中的流行情况,而不考虑PAC发展的其他危险因素,如吸烟、饮酒和糖尿病。方法:这项关键的回顾性研究是在马焦雷医院外科(博洛尼亚)和桑德罗比提尼医院胃肠病学和消化内窥镜科(罗马)进行的。从胰腺切除术和内窥镜-逆行胰胆管造影(ERCPs)的档案中收集PAC患者的年龄、性别、胰腺癌定位(头、体、尾)和血清HBV/HCV谱。结果:HBsAg阳性4例,HBsAb/ hbcab阳性28例,患病率分别为1%和7.5%。16例患者HCV阳性,患病率为4.3%。结论:我们的观察性研究首次在我国描述了一个小型PAC患者队列中的HBsAg、HBsAb/HBcAb和HCV患病率。尽管HBV/HCV感染与PAC之间的关系尚未得出明确的结论,但我们的研究可以作为意大利其他流行病学/组织学全国性试验的基础。
