Bacterial Cross‐contamination Potential Associated with Contaminated Currency

Previous studies have shown a significant amount of contaminants on paper currencies. It is important to study the transfer of microorganisms between paper currencies to determine whether it meets the level of a human health threat. This cross‐contamination potential was analyzed by seeding new US 1‐dollar bills with Bacillus thuringiensis, and pressing or rubbing them against clean currency to determine the amount of bacteria transfer to the unseeded currency. The transferred amount of bacteria was recovered, plated, incubated, and the colony‐forming units were quantified. Among the recovery methods tested, the most efficient method, vortexing for 10 min with a recovery efficiency of 40 ± 8.1%, was used in this analysis. The resulting transfer rates were 4.8%, 8.6%, and 14.3% when pressed for 24 h, 72 h, and rubbed together, respectively. These transferred amounts of bacteria are significant and have the potential to spread infectious diseases.     

Justifications for Non-Consensual Medical Intervention: From Infectious Disease Control to Criminal Rehabilitation

A central tenet of medical ethics holds that it is permissible to perform a medical intervention on a competent individual only if that individual has given informed consent to the intervention. Yet it occasionally seems morally permissible to carry out non-consensual medical interventions on competent individuals for the purpose of infectious disease control (IDC). We describe two different moral frameworks that have been invoked in support of non-consensual IDC interventions and identify five desiderata that might be used to guide assessments of the moral permissibility of such interventions on either kind of fundamental justification. We then consider what these desiderata imply for the justifiability of carrying out non-consensual medical interventions that are designed to facilitate rehabilitation amongst serious criminal offenders. We argue that these desiderata suggest that a plausible case can be made in favor of such interventions.     

细菌素在动物疾病防治中的作用和机理研究进展

从细菌素的性质、生产与制备、在动物疾病防治中的作用、抑(杀)菌机理及安全性评价等方面概述了此类由细菌分泌的高效抗菌蛋白类物质的研究进展。认为,细菌素不仅在体外对各种致病菌具有较强的抑杀作用,而且经口服能显著抑制动物胃肠道内的有害菌,腹腔或静脉注射后可防治动物全身性细菌感染,无任何毒害作用,是一类可用于动物疾病防治的理想的抗生素替代品。

Antibiotics and probiotics in chronic pouchitis:A comparative proteomic approach

AIM:To profile protein expression in mucosal biopsies from patients with chronic refractory pouchitis following antibiotic or probiotic treatment,using a comparative proteomic approach. METHODS:Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry were used to characterize the changes related to antibiotic therapy in the protein expression profiles of biopsy samples from patients with chronic refractory pouchitis.The same proteom...     

鸡传染性腔上囊病病毒Gt株全基因组序列分析及真核表达载体的构建

采用一步法长距离RT-PCR克隆了IBDV Gt株全基因组,对其核苷酸和氨基酸序列进行了系统分析。在IBDV Gt株全基因组中引入分子标签,且在基因组两端分别引入锤头状核酶结构(HamRz)和丁肝病毒核酶结构(HdvRz)。将带有分子标签和核酶结构的IBDV基因组插入载体pCAGGS的β肌动蛋白启动子下游,构建了IBDV真核表达载体pCAGGmGtAHRT和pCAG-GmGtBHRT,为IBDV新型高效拯救平台的构建及基于此的病毒基因功能奠定了基础。     

鸡马立克氏病肿瘤组织端粒酶活性的测定

用鸡马立克氏病病毒( MDV) 京1 株血毒对2 日龄SPF 鸡攻毒,40 d 后剖杀取部分内脏组织,一部分做病理切片,发现有肿瘤细胞浸润者判定为阳性;另一部分组织利用TRAP ( Telom eric repeat am plification protocol) 法进行端粒酶活性测定。结果发现有肿瘤细胞浸润的肾、肝、脾、神经、卵巢、精巢等组织细胞端粒酶活性非常高,且其阳性率与肿瘤细胞浸润的阳性率吻合。

Complex Congenital Heart Malformation Including Transposition of the Great Vessels,Presenting as Sudden Unexplained Infant Death

Transposition of the great vessels (TGV) is a common congenital heart defect that is difficult to diagnose before birth. Antenatal diagnosis is associated with increased survival. Unusual features such as anomalous pulmonary artery origin may delay cyanosis, decreasing clinical suspicion. A three‐week old female infant who had never been cyanotic presented for forensic autopsy due to onset of unresponsiveness at home. History included risk factors for TGV and signs of heart enlargement that were not recognized during life. Cardiac pathology consultation identified D‐type TGV with additional rare anomalies. TGV may present as sudden unexplained infant death (SUID) for forensic autopsy if variant features prevent development of cyanosis. Cardiac pathology consultation is helpful in clarifying these features.     

温病湿热证湿重于热动物模型舌的病理观察

目的：观察温病湿热证湿重于热动物模型舌的病理改变。方法：复制温病湿热证湿重于热动物模型,观察大鼠舌的病理改变,并设湿热组、脾虚组、正常组进行比较。结果：湿重于热组、湿热组固有层乳头密度及核分裂相频数显著增多,与正常组及脾虚组比较差异有显著性;湿重于热组和湿热组固有层均出现炎症、充血及水肿,前者水肿更甚,后者则充血明显。结论：舌的病理改变,可能是湿热证型中舌苔变化的病理基础,并可作为判定湿热轻重的指标之一。
