PROBLEM: Context: To develop a specific SARS virus-targeted antibody preparation for emergent prophylaxis and treatment of SARS virus infection.', 'By using phage display technology, we constructed a naive antibody library from convalescent SARS patient lymphocytes. To obtain the neutralizing antibody to SARS virus surface proteins, the library panning procedure was performed on purified SARS virions and the specific Fab antibody clones were enriched by four rounds of repeated panning procedure and screened by highthroughput selection. The selected Fab antibodies expressed in the periplasma of E. coli were soluble and further purified and tested for their binding properties and antiviral function to SARS virus. The functional Fab antibodies were converted to full human IgG antibodies with recombinant baculovirus/insect cell systems and their neutralizing activities were further determined.', 'After four rounds of the panning, a number of SARS-CoV virus-targeted human recombinant Fab antibodies were isolated from the SARS patient antibody library. Most of these were identified to recognize both natural and recombinant SARS spike (S) proteins, two Fab antibodies were specific for the virus membrane (M) protein, only one bound to SARS-CoV nucleocapsid protein. The SARS-CoV S and M protein-targeted Fab or IgG antibodies showed significant neutralizing activities in cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition neutralization test, these antibodies were able to completely neutralize the SARS virus and protect the Vero cells from CPE after virus infection. However, the N protein-targeted Fab or IgG antibodies failed to neutralize the virus. In addition, the SARS N protein-targeted human Fab antibody reacted with the denatured N proteins, whereas none of the S and M protein specific neutralizing antibodies did. These results suggested that the S and M protein-specific neutralizing antibodies could recognize conformational epitopes which might be involved in the binding of virions to cellular receptors and the fusion activity of the virus.
Answer: The SARS-CoV spike protein and membrane proteins are able to elicite efficient neutralizing antibodies in SARS patients. The neutralizing antibodies we generated in this study may be more promising candidates for prophylaxis and treatment of SARS infection.

SOLUTION: Do sARS patients-derived human recombinant antibodies to S and M proteins efficiently neutralize SARS-coronavirus infectivity?

PROBLEM: Context: Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is an experimental dietary additive that might act as a creatine source in tissues with high-energy requirements. In this case study, we evaluated brain levels of creatine in white matter, gray matter, cerebellum, and thalamus during 8wk oral GAA administration in five healthy men and monitored the prevalence and severity of side effects of the intervention.', 'Volunteers were supplemented daily with 36mg/kg body weight (BW) of GAA for the first 4wk of the intervention; afterward GAA dosage was titrated 60mg/kg BW of GAA daily. At baseline, 4, and 8wk, the participants underwent brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy, clinical chemistry studies, and open-ended questionnaire for side-effect prevalence and severity.', 'Brain creatine levels increased in similar fashion in cerebellum, and white and gray matter after GAA supplementation, with an initial increase of 10.7% reported after 4wk, and additional upsurge (7.7%) from the weeks 4 to 8 follow-up (P<0.05). Thalamus creatine levels decreased after 4wk for 6.5% (P=0.02), and increased nonsignificantly after 8wk for 8% (P=0.09). GAA induced an increase in N-acetylaspartate levels at 8-wk follow-up in all brain areas evaluated (P<0.05). No participants reported any neurologic adverse event (e.g., seizures, tingling, convulsions) during the intervention.
Answer: Supplemental GAA led to a region-dependent increase of the creatine pool in the human brain. This might be relevant for restoring cellular bioenergetics in disorders characterized by low brain creatine and functional enzymatic machinery for creatine synthesis, including neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, or cerebrovascular disease.

SOLUTION: Does dietary guanidinoacetic acid increase brain creatine levels in healthy men?

PROBLEM: Context: To carry out research into the possible changes of the spectral content of pressure pulse wave after the creation of an experimentally induced stenosis in the pig descending thoracic aorta.', 'Eight healthy, normotensive Landrace pigs were subjected to thoracotomy under sterile conditions. At the upper segment of the descending thoracic aorta, a 5-mm-long circumferential symmetric constriction was imposed and stabilized; hence, a 15-20 mm Hg pressure gradient was established. Pressure tip catheters were used in order to monitor the pressure gradient. Blood flow disturbances were recorded through a bidirectional Doppler flow meter at pre- and poststenotic areas (A and B, respectively). Measurements were carried out before, 10 min after, and 90 days after the creation of the stenosis. The recorded waveforms were analyzed mathematically by using Fourier Transform, in order to determine their spectral component. Eight sham-operated pigs were used as controls.', 'Fourier Transform analysis showed a significant increase (P < 0.05) of spectral content in A and B areas. Also, the "relative" harmonic amplitudes in nonstenotic subjects were higher than in stenotic animals (P < 0.05).
Answer: A minor experimental constriction located at the level of the descending thoracic aorta increased the spectral content of the pressure pulse wave, indicating that spectral analysis may detect slight flow disturbances before developing remarkable signs of an impaired circulation system.

SOLUTION:
Does a minor experimental stenosis in porcine descending thoracic aorta affect the spectral content of pressure pulse wave?
