Comparison of inflammatory reactions induced by intraarticular injection of bacterial cell wall polymers.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: Cell wall polymers isolated from group A streptococci, as well as lipopolysaccharide from Salmonella typhimurium and synthetic muramyl dipeptide, were injected into the ankle joints of rats. The inflammatory responses were assessed by gross and histologic examination, and edema was measured by accumulation of radiolabeled albumin in the limbs. The isolated group-specific polysaccharide induced extensive edema of the articular and periarticular tissue immediately after injection, and this resolved in 24 hours. The peptidoglycan moiety did not produce early edema, but induced an acute exudative reaction followed by a proliferative synovitis which resolved after 5 days. Reactions induced by covalently bound complexes of peptidoglycan and the group-specific polysaccharide (PG-APS) varied, depending on the size of the complex. Small fragments, derived from mutanolysin digestion, caused both an acute edematous reaction and transient arthritis. Larger fragments did not cause the immediate edematous reaction, but induced an acute arthritis that appeared within 24 hours and evolved into a chronic process. Episodes of recurrent inflammation, a distinctive feature of joint inflammation induced by systemic injection of PG-APS polymers, were not observed following intraarticular injection of any of the cell wall polymers. The relative susceptibility of different rat strains to arthritis induced by intraarticular injection paralleled the responses to systemic injection of PG-APS. These results demonstrate that variations in arthropathogenicity are due, in part, to inherent differences in the phlogistic activities of different cell wall polymers, and that the genetic control of susceptibility involves regulation of the inflammatory responses rather than the quantity of cell wall distributed to the joint.

In vitro inhibition of human sarcoma cells' invasive ability by bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane--a novel esteroprotease inhibitor.
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: Bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane (BABIM) is a synthetic aromatic amidine compound which has a number of important biochemical effects, including inhibition of a family of esteroproteases (trypsin, urokinase, plasmin) previously linked to the complex process of tumor invasion. Previous work has suggested that exogenous natural protease inhibitors can block invasion of tumor cells across basement membranes (BM) in vitro. The authors studied the effect of BABIM on the human cell line HT-1080 with the use of a quantitative in vitro amnion invasion assay system. They have verified the ability of these cells to grow in nude mice and metastasize via the lymphatics or blood vessels on the basis of the route of administration of the inoculum. Cells which were able to actively cross the entire BM were trapped on filters and counted by both brightfield microscopy and by beta scintillation counting of cells whose DNA was labeled with tritiated thymidine. In agreement with either counting technique, BABIM, at a concentration of 10(-4) M, significantly inhibited invasion (P less than 0.005) over the 7-day course of the experiments. Under these conditions, the inhibitor was nontoxic and did not alter the attachment of the cells to the amniotic membrane. Furthermore, a highly significant inhibition of invasion (P less than 0.001) was also demonstrated across a variation in molar concentration of BABIM of more than 2 orders of magnitude. Most remarkably, cells were initially inhibited in their ability to invade in the presence of between 10(-9) and 10(-3) M BABIM. Measurement of Type IV specific collagenase in media from these cells shows a significant inhibition of activity in the presence of BABIM. These results suggest two, not necessarily exclusive, alternative interpretations: first, that inhibition of the proteolytic steps along the pathway of activation of basement membrane degrading enzymes results in inhibition of invasion; second, that arginine directed esteroproteases may work in concert with cellular collagenolytic metalloproteinases in the process of invasion by human tumor cells through native matrix barriers.

Proliferation of the surface-connected intracytoplasmic membranous network in skeletal muscle disease.

Year: 1986

description: A surface-connected intracytoplasmic membranous (SCIM) network proliferates in skeletal muscle diseases and in myotubes grown in vitro. The authors observed frequent occurrence of "coated" microdomains in the form of budding vesicles in the proliferated components of this network and suspected a potential role the proliferated membranes might have in the endocytosis of molecules into myotubes undergoing repair or regeneration. Five-day-old myotubes in culture were incubated at 37 C and between 2 and 4 C with two tracers, Lucifer yellow and ferritin, both known to enter other types of cells via a fluid-phase endocytotic pathway. The differential penetration of Lucifer yellow at 37 C and below 2-4 C was examined by fluorescence microscopy and by electron microscopy. Lucifer yellow was rendered electron-opaque by photoreacting it with an intense light in the presence of DAB. Ferritin penetration at 37 C and between 2 and 4 C was compared and quantitated ultrastructurally. The authors found that endocytosis of the tracers into myotubes and eventually into lysosomes took place after the tracers had diffused into the lumen of the proliferated SCIM network. These processes were inhibited below 4 C. This finding, coupled with the presence of "coated" microdomains in the proliferated membranes, led us to suspect that the SCIM network may have a role in membrane turnover of metabolically active diseased muscle cells undergoing regeneration.

description: We study the vacuum radiative corrections to energy levels of a confined electron in quantum rings. The calculations are provided for the Lamb shift of energy levels in low-momentum region of virtual photons and for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional quantum rings. We show that contrary to the well known case of a hydrogen atom the value of the Lamb shift increases with the magnetic momentum quantum number m. We also investigate the dependence of the Lamb shift on magnetic flux piercing the ring and demonstrate a presence of magnetic-flux-dependent oscillations. For one-dimensional ring the value of the shift strongly depends on the radius of the ring. It is extremely small for semiconductor rings but can attain measurable quantities in natural organic ring-shape molecules, such as benzene, cycloalcanes and porphyrins.

description: In this paper, we describe an analysis of Apollo era lunar seismic data that places an upper limit on an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background integrated over a year in the frequency range 0.1\,Hz -- 1\,Hz. We find that because the Moon's ambient noise background is much quieter than that of the Earth, significant improvements over an Earth based analysis were made. We find an upper limit of $Ω_{\rm GW}<1.2\times 10^{5}$, which is three orders of magnitude smaller than a similar analysis of a global network of broadband seismometers on Earth and the best limits in this band to date. We also discuss the benefits of a potential Earth-Moon correlation search and compute the time-dependent overlap reduction function required for such an analysis. For this search, we find an upper limit an order of magnitude larger than the Moon-Moon search.

description: We perform the precision calculations for the \eeqq ($q_-\bar{q}_-=u_-\bar u_-, ~c_-\bar c_-,~ d_-\bar d_-,~s_-\bar s_-$) processes up to the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) including full weak decays for the final $T$-odd mirror quarks in the littlest Higgs model with $T$-parity (LHT) at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). We show the dependence of the leading order (LO) and NLO QCD corrected cross sections on the colliding energy $\sqrt{s}$, and provide the LO and QCD NLO kinematic distributions of final particles. The results show that the LO cross section can be enhanced by the NLO QCD correction and the $K$-factor increases obviously when the threshold of the on-shell $q_-\bar{q}_-$-pair production approaches the colliding energy $\sqrt{s}$. The $K$-factor value varies in the range of $1.04 \sim 1.41$ in our chosen parameter space. We find that a simple approximation of multiplying the LO kinematic distribution with the integrated $K$-factor is not appropriate for precision study of the \eeqq ($q_-\bar{q}_-=u_-\bar u_-,~c_-\bar c_-,~d_-\bar d_-,~s_-\bar s_-$) processes, since the NLO QCD corrections are phase space dependent. It is necessary to calculate the differential cross sections including full NLO QCD corrections to get reliable results.

We apply the formulas on several examples. We find the pressureless near-Hagedorn string gas in flat space and a non-vanishing (angular) string charge in $AdS_3$. We also find the thermal stress tensor for the highly excited string gas in Rindler space.

description: Acute edematous responses were induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by the intravenous injection of group-specific polysaccharide (PS) isolated from group A streptococci. Thirty minutes after the intravenous injection of PS there was marked degranulation of subcutaneous and periarticular mast cells in all 4 feet, carbon particle labeling of adjacent venules, and an 8-fold increase in Evans blue dye content of the extremities. This acute reaction to PS was completely blocked by pretreatment with compound 48/80, but the polyarticular relapsing arthritis following the systemic injection of an arthropathic dose of streptococcal cell wall fragments containing large, covalently bound peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS) was not blocked.
The twitcher mouse. An alteration of the unmyelinated fibers in the PNS.

description: The twitcher is an authentic murine model of globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD) in man. Extensive demyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS) characterizes the neuropathologic features of GLD. In the common peroneal nerve of the twitcher, where demyelination was extensive, pronounced morphologic and quantitative alterations were noted in the unmyelinated fibers. They were 1) a large number of long and attenuated cellular processes of Schwann cells, which often enclosed only one or two axons; and 2) a threefold increase in the number of Schwann cell-axon units with reduced numbers of axons per unit. These results suggested increased branching of unmyelinated Schwann cells. Mild increase in unmyelinated fibers and mild decrease in myelinated fibers were additional features. In contrast, the sympathetic nerve trunk, which had only small numbers of myelinated and rare or no demyelinated fibers, showed much milder alterations in the unmyelinated fibers. Thus, the results of our study suggest that the alterations of the Schwann cells of the unmyelinated fibers in the twitcher are secondary to or in association with the chronic demyelinating process.

description: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) react with constituents of neutrophil primary granules and monocyte lysosomes. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy using alcohol-fixed neutrophils demonstrates two ANCA types: one causing cytoplasmic staining (C-ANCA), and a second causing artifactual perinuclear staining (P-ANCA) that frequently has specificity for myeloperoxidase. Using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy (IIFM) and enzyme immunoassays (EIA), sera from over 300 patients with renal disease, with and without systemic vasculitis, were analyzed. Of 76 patients with pauci-immune glomerulonephritis with crescents or necrosis, 87% had ANCA by IIFM (38% of C-ANCA type, 49% of P-ANCA type), and 78% had ANCA by EIA. Of 55 patients with nonlupus immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis, only 11% had ANCA by IIFM and 5% had ANCA by EIA. Of 24 patients with anti-GBM antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis, none had ANCA. Renal and extrarenal lesions were studied in 81 patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. These patients formed a pathologic continuum ranging from renal-limited to widespread systemic vascular injury, including patients with primary crescentic glomerulonephritis, Wegener's granulomatosis, and polyarteritis nodosa. In ANCA-positive patients the frequency of C-ANCA and P-ANCA correlated with disease distribution. P-ANCA was most frequent with renal-limited disease and C-ANCA was most frequent when there was lung and sinus involvement. It is proposed that ANCA are not only useful diagnostic markers, but may also be directly involved in a novel pathogenetic mechanism that is a frequent cause of crescentic glomerulonephritis and systemic necrotizing vasculitis.

description: Many studies have shown that cultured rat liver epithelial cells can be neoplastically transformed by repeated or long-continued exposure to chemical carcinogens. These cells also may transform spontaneously in the absence of carcinogen treatment after long-term, continuous passage in culture or after chronic maintenance in a confluent state in vitro. In this study, we have compared the times of emergence and rates of accumulation of transformed cells in populations of rat hepatic epithelial cells exposed either to a single dose of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG, 3 micrograms/ml culture medium for 30 minutes) or to acetone vehicle alone (3 microliters/ml culture medium for 30 minutes). Transformation was compared in cell populations that were passaged continuously once a week as they attained a confluent density (nonselective growth conditions), or that were maintained at a confluent density for 3 weeks between passages once a month (selective growth conditions). Emergence of both spontaneous transformants and transformants induced by MNNG was facilitated by selective growth conditions, as compared with non-selective growth conditions. Transformants were detected both in cultures exposed to MNNG and in cultures exposed only to acetone (solvent controls), but they always emerged earlier in cultures exposed to MNNG (nine population doublings earlier when grown under selective growth conditions and 22 population doublings earlier when grown under nonselective growth conditions). Once transformants were detected, they replaced the nontransformed population more quickly under selective than under nonselective conditions of culture. Cells possessing the ability to grow in soft agar and to produce tumors in syngeneic rats were detected (at about 12 population doublings after treatment) under selective conditions much earlier than under nonselective growth conditions (at about 90 population doublings after treatment). Among MNNG-treated cultures, the fraction of aneuploid cells in the population was correlated significantly with tumorigenicity. In contrast, among acetone-treated control populations, aneuploidy and tumorigenicity were not correlated; populations of aneuploid acetone-treated cells often were not tumorigenic. These observations suggest that MNNG treatment produced a specific type of aneuploidy that was associated with tumorigenicity.

description: A charmonium produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC propagates through a dense co-moving matter with a rather high relative momentum, =4-10GeV^2. In spite of Debye screening of the binding potential, the charmonium survives with a substantial probability, even if the c-cbar potential is completely screened in the hot environment. In addition, the color-exchange interaction with the medium is another important source of charmonium suppression. Attenuation in a hot medium caused by both effects is evaluated by means of the path integral technique, which requires ability of boosting the binding potential to a moving reference frame. This problem is solved in the approximation of small intrinsic velocities of the charmed quarks.

description: Asbestos inhalation in mice and rats causes a rapid proliferative response in epithelial and interstitial cells, followed by the development of an interstitial lesion at the first alveolar duct bifurcations where fiber deposition and alveolar macrophage accumulation occur. Here we report that endothelial and smooth muscle cells of arterioles and venules near the bifurcations incorporated significantly increased levels of 3H-TdR 19 to 72 hours after chrysotile exposure. As many as 28% of the vessels had labeled cells 31 hours after exposure. No labeled cells were observed in vessels from sham-exposed or iron-exposed controls. This proliferative response resulted in a doubling of both the number of smooth muscle cells and the thickness of the smooth muscle cell layer, determined by ultrastructural morphometry 1 month after exposure. The fact that a variety of cell types incorporates 3H-TdR so rapidly after asbestos inhalation leads us to speculate that the response involves the release of diffusible growth factors.

description: We develop a theoretical study of non-terminating hypergeometric summations with one free parameter. Composing various methods in complex and asymptotic analysis, geometry and arithmetic of certain transcendental curves and rational approximations of irrational numbers, we are able to obtain some necessary conditions of arithmetic flavor for a given hypergeometric sum to admit a gamma product formula. This kind of research seems to be new even in the most classical case of the Gauss hypergeometric series.

Sequential events in the pathogenesis of streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis and their modulation by bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane (BABIM).

description: This report builds on the authors' earlier discovery of bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane (BABIM) as a strong suppressive agent for streptococcal cell wall fragment-induced arthritis in the Lewis rat. As a synthetic inhibitor of trypsinlike proteases, BABIM opens up a new route to the control of inflammatory joint disease. To gain a deeper insight into the function of the compound, the authors have now studied its influence on the sequential development of the joint changes and the associated lesions in spleen and liver. Bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane is shown to block acute synovitis, to retard and reduce granuloma formation in spleen and liver, to decrease neutrophilic leukocytosis, and to diminish hemopoietic hyperplasia in the bone, and thus also to mitigate the distinctive osteoclastic and chondroclastic events. The compound does not interfere with the splenic immune response, the temporary rise in hepatocytic mitotic activity, or the organ deposition of streptococcal cell walls.

description: Previously bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)methane (BABIM) was identified as a strong inhibitor of the multisystem inflammatory disease induced in Lewis rats by injection of streptococcus group A cell wall-derived peptidoglycan polysaccharide (PG-APS). A BABIM derivative, trans-bis(5-amidino-2-benzimidazolyl)ethene (BBE), has attracted attention because of striking qualitative and quantitative differences in its activities when compared with the parent compound. BBE could control destructive tibial osteitis and necrotizing granulomatous splenitis and hepatitis, regardless if given in a preventive or curative mode. The compound had little effect on synovitis, however. BABIM, on the other hand, was active against synovitis and osteitis, but not against splenic granuloma formation. To be effective, it needed to be applied in a preventive mode. BBE caused a characteristic enlargement of PG-APS-laden splenic and hepatic macrophages suggesting that those cells represent targets of the inhibitor. BBE may be a powerful tool for the study of granulomatous lesions.

description: The aim of this paper is to describe some of the key findings of studies on university students’ mental health information seeking. It also presents an interdisciplinary study aimed at investigating how university students in Croatia search for information about mental health and what sources of information they use. The study used the quantitative method, i.e., university students completed an online questionnaire. The results of the study show that the respondents mainly use the internet to search for information about stress and anxiety. Respondents sometimes or rarely search for information about mental health. Although most of the respondents have faced mental health difficulties in the past academic year, they have not sought psychological counseling. Listening to music and being with family or friends are the most common ways respondents cope with mental health difficulties. This study can help to support the mental health of university students by integrating some psychological content into higher education.

Responsibility of a Filament Eruption for the Initiation of a Flare, CME, and Blast Wave, and its Possible Transformation into a Bow Shock

description: Multi-instrument observations of two filament eruptions on 24 February and 11 May 2011 suggest the following updated scenario for eruptive flare, CME and shock wave evolution. An initial destabilization of a filament results in stretching out of magnetic threads belonging to its body and rooted in the photosphere along the inversion line. Their reconnection leads to i) heating of parts of the filament or its environment, ii) initial development of the flare arcade cusp and ribbons, and iii) increasing similarity of the filament to a curved flux rope and its acceleration. Then the pre-eruption arcade enveloping the filament gets involved in reconnection according to the standard model and continues to form the flare arcade and ribbons. The poloidal magnetic flux in the curved rope developing from the filament progressively increases and forces its toroidal expansion. This flux rope impulsively expands and produces an MHD disturbance, which rapidly steepens into a shock. The shock passes through the arcade expanding above the filament and then freely propagates ahead of the CME like a decelerating blast wave for some time. If the CME is slow, then the shock eventually decays. Otherwise, the frontal part of the shock changes into the bow-shock regime. This was observed for the first time in the 24 February 2011 event. When reconnection ceases, the flux rope relaxes and constitutes the CME core-cavity system. The expanding arcade develops into the CME frontal structure. We also found that reconnection in the current sheet of a remote streamer forced by the shock's passage results in a running flare-like process within the streamer responsible for a type II burst. The development of dimming and various associated phenomena are discussed.
