Although pneumococcus is one of the most frequently encountered opportunistic pathogen in the world, the mechanisms responsible for its infectiveness have not yet been fully understood. In this paper, we have attempted to characterize the effects of pneumococcal transformation on the pathogenesis of the organism. We constructed three transformation-deficient pneumococcal strains, which were designated as Nos. 1d, 2d, and 22d. The construction of these altered strains was achieved via the insertion of the inactivated gene, comE, to strains 1, 2 and 22. We then conducted a comparison between the virulence of the transformation-deficient strains and that of the wild-type strains, via an evaluation of the ability of each strain to adhere to endothelial cells, and also assessed psaA mRNA expression, and the survival of hosts after bacterial challenge. Compared to what was observed with the wild-type strains, our results indicated that the ability of all of the transformation-deficient strains to adhere to the ECV304 cells had been significantly reduced (p < 0.05), the expression of psaA mRNA was reduced significantly (p < 0.05) in strains 2d and 22d, and the median survival time of mice infected with strains Id and 2d was increased significantly after intraperitoneal bacterial challenge (p < 0.05). The results of our study also clearly indicated that transformation exerts significant effects on the virulence characteristics of S. pneumoniae, although the degree to which this effect is noted appears to depend primarily on the genetic background of the bacteria.

The study aimed to investigate the feasibility of noninvasive monitoring of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transduced with the tyrosinase reporter gene for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with photoacoustic imaging (PAI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) in vitro and in vivo. MSCs were transduced with a lentivirus carrying a tyrosinase reporter gene. After transduction, the rate of 18F-5-fluoro-N-(2- [diethylamino]ethyl)picolinamide (18F-5-FPN) uptake was measured. PAI and MRI of stable cell lines expressing tyrosinase (TYR-MSCs) were performed in vitro. An AMI model was induced and verified. TYR-MSCs and MSCs were injected into the margins of the infarcted areas, and PAI, MRI, and PET images were acquired 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after cell injection. Sham-operated models without injection were used as the control group. TYR-MSCs showed noticeably higher uptake of 18F-5-FPN and stronger signals in T1-weighted MRI and PAI than non-transduced MSCs. In vivo studies revealed prominent signals in the injected area of the infarcted myocardium on PAI/MRI/PET images, whereas no signal could be seen in rats injected with non-transduced MSCs or sham-operated rats. The uptake values of 18F-5-FPN in vivo showed a slight decrease over 28 days, whereas MRI and PAI signal intensity decreased dramatically. MSCs stably transduced with the tyrosinase reporter gene could be monitored in vivo in myocardial infarction models by PET, MRI, and PAI, providing a feasible and reliable method for checking the viability, location, and dwell time of transplanted stem cells.

Both the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis, and the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens are important rice pests. The study is a comparative analysis on the effects of indoxacarb on the pest's juvenile hormone (JH) titer and juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) mRNA expression. RT-PCR and RACE were used to amplify the full length Csjhe (JHE of C. suppressalis) cDNA fromC. suppressalis. The full length cDNA is 1841 bp in length and contains a 1734 bp open reading encoding 577 amino acid residues. An amino acid sequence alignment shows that Csjhe shares high identity with other three other lepidopterans homologues including Manduca sexta, Bombyx mori, and Choristoneura fumiferana. JH III titer in 4th instar larvae of C. suppressalis was significantly reduced with 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g/L indoxacarb, which were decreased by 11.0%, 22.3%, 32.0% and 37.7% respectively, the expression levels of Csjhe mRNA were 1.38, 1.92 and 5.25 times the control levels in 4th instar larvae with 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g/L indoxacarb. Similarly, all of the tested concentrations of indoxacarb caused a significant decrease in JH III titer of N. lugens adult females after indoxacarb treatments, Nljhe (JHE of N. lugens)mRNAaverage expression levels were 4.8, 5.0 and 4.4 times before mating and 6.5, 7.6 and 5.3 times after mating compared to the control at 1, 3 and 5 days, respectively. The comparative studies of the effects of indoxacarb on JH III titer and JHE mRNA further have a significance to a guided integrated pest management.

Effects of rice potassium level on the fecundity and expression of the vitellogenin gene of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

Jing-Lan Liu,Hong-Mei Zhang,Xiao Chen,Xia Yang,Jin-Cai Wu 한국응용곤충학회 2013 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.16 No.4

Potassium (K) is a key component of plant nutrition, significantly influencing crop growth. Levels of this nutrient in plants can also influence a number of pest infestations. The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is an important pest of rice in Asia. In this study, we examined K contents in rice grown in hydroponic solution, and its relationship to the fecundity and expression of the vitellogenin (Nlvg) gene of N. lugens which was reared on the rice. Our findings indicated that K contents in rice increased with the increasing K concentration within the hydroponic solution, but reduced at the highest K concentration (160 mg/L). The number of eggs laid by N. lugens which was reared on the rice varied significantly with K concentration, and increased by 0.12 and 0.22 fold under 20 mg/L and 160 mg/L K level compared to that of the control (40 mg/L), decreasing by 0.57 fold under 0 mg/L K. Nlvg mRNA expression increased 1.17 and 1.94 fold in individuals which were reared on rice grown in 20 mg/L and 160 mg/L K level, compared to that of the control before mating; and by 3.36 and 2.97 after mating, respectively. However, Nlvg mRNA expression fold decreased by 0.99 under 0 mg/L K level before mating and 0.91 after mating. The variation of eggs may be attributed to the change of Nlvg mRNA expression, because there was a positive correlation between the eggs and Nlvg mRNA expression. These results demonstrated low (20 mg/L) and highest K levels (160 mg/L) in hydroponic solution showed the lower K level in plants than the control, which facilitated the fecundity of N. lugens. The study of the effects of K levels on the fecundity should have significance for insect control. © 2013 Korean Society of Applied Entomology, Taiwan Entomological Society and Malaysian Plant Protection

Efficacy and Safety of Trastuzumab Added to Standard Treatments for HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients

Zhu, Zhen-Li,Zhang, Jun,Chen, Mei-Lan,Li, Ke Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.12

Introduction: Trastuzumab, an HER2-targeting agents, has shown efficacy in metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Single-agent clinical trials have evaluated therapeutic regimens using trastuzumab for metastatic breast cancer patients. The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy or hormone therapy in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients. Methods: A literature research was conducted in PubMed and to identify appropriate studies from relevant reviews. Randomized controlled trials comparing chemotherapy or hormone therapy regimens in combination with trastuzumab were eligible. Dadta on clinical outcomes, including safety, efficacy, and patient characteristics were collected. Results: Seven articles describing five trials were included in our systematic review and meta-analysis. Partners of trastuzumab included in trials were anthracycline, paclitaxel, docetaxel, anastrozole and letrozole. The addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy improved the overall survival (HR=0.79, 95%CI 0.65-0.96), while to hormone therapy did not (HR=0.85 95%CI 0.56-1.30). All trastuzumab-containing regimens increased cardiac toxicity (RR=3.37, 95%CI 1.26-9.02) and grade III-IV adverse events. Conclusions: Our study supports the addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy which is effective and tolerated for metastatic breast cancer with HER2+ patients. Of note, more adverse events will occur followed the use of trastuzumab, especially cardiac toxicity, with two treatment regimens.
