RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the role of SDH2 gene in the environmental adaptability of Candida albicans. Methods Wild-type C. albicans strain SC5314, SDH2 gene knockout mutant sdh2Δ/Δ and reintegrated strain sdh2Δ/SDH2 were used as experimental objects. Spot assay was conducted to assess the sensitivity of the WT C. albicans strain SC5314, SDH2 gene knockout mutant sdh2Δ/Δ and reintegrated strain sdh2Δ/SDH2 to external stress stimulants and antifungal drugs. The effect of SDH2 gene deletion on drug efflux ability of C. albicans was determined by rhodamine 6G efflux assay. Results After SDH2 gene deletion, C. albicans showed slight tolerance to cell wall stress stimulants caffeine, oxidative stress stimulators diamide and menadione. Notably, the sensitivity of SDH2 gene knockout mutant sdh2Δ/Δ to azole antifungal drugs was significantly increased. The drug efflux capacity of C. albicans was decreased due to the deletion of SDH2 gene. Conclusion SDH2 gene deletion lead to changes in environmental adaptability of C. albicans, including changes in response to external environmental stress and increased sensitivity to azole antifungal drugs. The development of fungal-specific inhibitor targeting SDH2 gene may lead to the discovery of new antifungal drugs which have synergistic effect with azole drugs.

RESUMEN

Objective:To explore the correlation between the occurrence of colorectal cancer and different internal environment (cold and heat). Method:The 70 Wistar rats (male and female) were randomly divided into blank group (10 cases), cold model group (30 cases) and heat model group (30 cases). The cold syndrome model was made by intragastric infusion of cold water (0 ℃) and soaking in cold water (10 ℃). The heat model was made by ethanol (30%) and capsaicin solution (0.9 g·L-1). The blank group was given normal saline by gavage, 10 mL·kg-1·d-1, for 5 consecutive weeks. The colorectal cancer model was made by subcutaneous injection of DMH solution in the back of neck in the cold model group and heat model group at the 6th week, 25 mg·kg-1,once a week,for 12 consecutive times. During the carcinogenesis, only 30% ethanol solution was given to the heat model group, and the modeling was maintained in cold model group, 10 mL·kg-1·d-1, for 38 weeks. The general state of the rats in each group was observed, and the changes of food intake and body weight were measured. At the 27th, 29th, 32th, 35th and 38th weeks, samples were collected in batches. Intestinal tissues were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) and detection of sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphate (Na+ K+-ATP), calcium, magnesium-adenosine triphosphate (Ca2+ Mg2+-ATP) activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity. Result:The symptoms of hematochezia and ascites in cold model group were earlier than those in heat model group. As compared with the blank group, the food intake and body weight were decreased in cold model group and heat model group. As compared with the blank group, the length of the large intestine was shorter in cold model group at the 32nd and 35th week (P<0.05), the activities of Na+ K+-ATP, Ca2+ Mg2+-ATP increased significantly in heat model group at the 27th, 29th and 38th week (P<0.05, P<0.01), the SDH enzyme activity was decreased in the cold model group at the 29th and 35th week (P<0.05, P<0.01), the SDH enzyme activity was significantly increased in the heat model group at the 38th week (P<0.01). At the 27th week, LDH enzyme activity was significantly reduced in cold model group (P<0.01). The LDH activity was increased significantly in heat model group at 29th and 32nd week (P<0.05, P<0.01). As compared with the heat model group, the large intestine texture of the cold model rats showed greater brittleness, aggravated fibrosis, more obvious fibroproliferative characteristics, higher tumor incidence, and more serious tumor differentiation. The Na+ K+-ATP, Ca2+ Mg2+-ATP enzyme activities of the cold model rats were significantly reduced at 27th, 29th, and 38th weeks (P<0.01), the SDH enzyme activity was significantly reduced in the cold model rats at 29th and 38th weeks (P<0.01), the LDH activity was reduced in the cold model group at 32nd week (P<0.05). Conclusion:Cold environment for colorectal cancer promotes tumorigenesis, and the hot environment can also promote tumorigenesis in a later stage.

RESUMEN

Resumo Os modelos conceituais de determinantes sociais da saúde (DSS) disponíveis na literatura, embora úteis para compreensão dos mecanismos que afetam os resultados do sistema de saúde sobre as condições de vida das populações, apresentam limitações quanto à sua aplicação em estudos empíricos e, consequentemente, na orientação da gestão de políticas públicas de saúde. Isso ocorre porque as categorias adotadas por esses modelos não são adequadamente representadas por indicadores ou variáveis homogêneas, sujeitas a manipulações matemáticas ou estatísticas em um sistema simples de relacionamentos. Este estudo tem por objetivo contribuir para o preenchimento dessa lacuna, ao propor um modelo conceitual de DSS passível de aplicação operacional, ou seja, de ser reproduzido em modelos matemáticos ou estatísticos, a fim de subsidiar estudos e definir estratégias de saúde pública. O esforço recorre à literatura para revisar modelos conceituais consagrados, identificar um conjunto de DSS e apresentar recomendações e critérios de escolha. Na sequência, identifica fontes de dados confiáveis que disponibilizem indicadores e variáveis dispostos em séries históricas e propõe o desenho de um modelo conceitual aplicável, cuja operacionalização requer métodos e ferramentas próprios de uma abordagem sistêmica.


Abstract The conceptual models of Social Determinants of Health (SDH) available in the literature, although useful for comprehending mechanisms that affect the results of the health system on the living conditions of the population, present limitations regarding their application in empirical studies and, consequently, in guiding public health policies. This occurs because the categories adopted by these models are not adequately represented by indicators of homogeneous variables subject to mathematical or statistical manipulations in a simple relation system. This study aims to help filling this gap by proposing an operationally applicable SDH conceptual model - reproducible as a mathematical or statistical model - to support studies and define strategies concerning public health. We resorted to the literature to review previously developed conceptual models, identifying a set of SDH and presenting recommendations and choice criteria. Then we located reliable data sources supplying indicators and variables listed in historic series and proposed an applicable conceptual model, which requires specific methods and tools for a systemic approach for operationalization.

RESUMEN

We reviewed the Community Diagnosis Field Work (CDFW) that we have been working on since 2004 at the local general hospital and examined the possibility of Social determinates of health (SDH) education. A multi-professional group consisting of 6-8 new employees, surveyed the community for several months with the help of support staff, and presented the results. Many of the previous surveys were eventually related to SDH. In the questionnaire after the presentation, many learners cited multidisciplinary learning as their own achievements, and support staff cited many studies on SDH. Among doctors, 70% felt that the experience of this CDFW was "helpful" for their medical care, and specifically mentioned that they learned "multi-professional collaboration" and "the importance of knowing the community" . "Teaching is learning" is also important in SDH education.

RESUMEN

Health disparity is an emerging issue in our society. It occurs in connection with an aging population, uneven distribution of health sectors or the collapse of medical care systems in rural communities. Accordingly, future health professionals should learn more about social determinants of health (SDH). Mie University Faculty of Medicine has conducted international health electives in Asian and African countries and education about community-based health profession all over the Mie prefecture. Moreover, a lecture entitled “Global Health and Community Medicine” was launched based on the concept that both topics share common aspects of SDH. In this article, I will report educational programs at Mie University, that provide medical students with opportunities to learn SDH.

RESUMEN

In the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education revised in 2016, the aim to teach "social determinants of health (SDH) " appeared for the first time. In times of social disparity, socio-economic conditions, including unemployment and low income, sometimes discourage people from doing follow up visits to the clinic due to the copay. This happens despite the universal coverage of health insurance. The socio-cultural environment also affects individual health. For example, the sexual minority suffers from depression and suicidal risk due to prejudice in our society. The WHO states that SDH are mostly responsible for health inequities and should be tackled by health professionals. In this article, we discuss why we should teach medical students SDH and how we could implement the program to an already overloaded curricula.

RESUMEN

A gene encoding NAD+-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) in peach fruit was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant SDH protein with 6×His-tagged was localized exclusively in the cytoplasmic soluble fraction of E. coli when the strains were grown for 4-5 h at 37 ºC. Highly pure protein was isolated by Ni2+-resin chromatography with 150 mM imidazole in 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, by elution. In order to ensure that the recombinant SDH could be used for further study, the fluorescence and ultraviolet spectrum of the recombinant SDH were detected. Recombinant SDH was confirmed to be capable of oxidizing sorbitol by enzymatic activity assay. The activity of the recombinant SDH was 2.73 U mg-1min-1, which was similar with that directly extracted from peach fruits. The activities of SDH extracted from the fruits in different periods (30, 60, 90 days after flowing) were 7.75, 5.95, 3.26 U mg-1min-1, respectively.

RESUMEN

This study reveals significant variations in dehydrogenase enzymes on administration of oral, sublethal (41mg/kg) doses of cypermethrin as single, double and multiple doses with 48hr intervals. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities were increased, whereas succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activities were significantly decreased in muscle and heart tissues of albino rats, in a dose and time dependent manner. G-6-PDH is a key enzyme of HMP pathway. This pathway serves to generate glycolytic intermediates for the production of energy to tolerate toxic stress. SDH is a vital enzyme of citric acid cycle, and catalyses the reversible oxidation of succinate to fumarate. LDH activity shows an increase during anaerobic conditions to meet the energy demands. MDH activity depends on fluctuations of oxidative metabolism, and also reflects the turnover of carbohydrates and energy output.

RESUMEN

Markedly smaller myofibers including branched myofibers (SF) were contained in regenerated skeletal muscles. However, its functional properties are not yet sufficiently understood. The present study examined the metabolic, contractile properties and hypertrophy of SF included in rat skeletal plantaris muscles regenerated from eccentric contraction-induced muscle injury. Succinate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity of SF were respectively similar to that of other normal size myofibers (NF) within regenerated muscles. The shortening velocity of skinned fibers prepared from branched myofibers isolated from regenerated muscles was slightly slower than that of control muscles. In addition, the extent of glycogen depletion in SF was similar to that of NF after exhaustive running. Therefore, SF were innervated by motoneurons and recruited during the contractile activity of the skeletal muscle. No matter when the regenerated muscle was loaded by synergistic ablation, the continued existence of SF was observed. Therefore, the ability of hypertrophy in SF may be distinct from that in NF. The physiological properties of SF were similar to that of normal myofiber, except for the ability to regulate hypertrophy.

RESUMEN

Women with menopause or rats with ovariectomy is associated with increased body weight, body fat and insulin resistance, which are components of metabolic syndrome. Increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome after menopause might be associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, since mitochondrial oxidative and phosphorylation activity is strongly correlated with insulin sensitivity. Although estradiol replacement prevents the metabolic syndrome, harmful effect of estradiol hampers the casual usage to prevent the metabolic syndrome. It has been reported that genistein has a mild estrogenic activity, decreases fat mass in mice and has an antidiabetic role in diabetic rats. Although insulin resistance is closely related to mitochondrial functions, there has not been yet any study in regard to the effect of dietary genistein on mitochondrial function in the insulin resistant female subjects induced by ovariectomy or similar situation. The present study investigated whether the supplementation of genistein in the high fat diet affected the mitochondrial function of high fat fed ovariectomized rats. Female Sprague Dawley rats (8 weeks old) were assigned to the following groups: sham-operated + high fat diet (S, n = 6); sham-operated + high fat diet with 0.1% genistein (S + G, n = 7); ovariectomized + high fat diet (OVX, n = 8); ovariectomized + high fat diet with 0.1% genistein (OVX + G, n = 8). Ovariectomy significantly increased body weight compared with S group. Genistein consumption in ovariectomized (OVX + G) rats decreased body weight gain compared with OVX rats. Liver weights were increased by ovariectomy. The hepatic mitochondrial protein density expressed as mg per g liver was lower in the OVX group than in the S group. However, OVX + G group showed the increased mitochondrial protein density similar to the level of S group. When mRNA levels of genes related to mitochondria such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 (PGC-1) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit III (COX III) were measured, there were decreases in the mRNA levels of PGC-1 and COX III in S + G, OVX and OVX + G group. The activity of cytochrome c oxidase was not different between groups. We could observe the decrease in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity per g liver in OVX rats. Genistein supplement increased SDH activity. In conclusion, genistein supplementation to the OVX rats enhanced mitochondrial function by increasing mitochondrial protein density and SDH activity. The improvement in mitochondrial function by genistein can contribute to the improvement in metabolic syndrome.

RESUMEN

Duret hemorrhage is characterized by an upper brainstem hemorrhage due to increased intracranial pressure by mass effect such as subdural hematoma or a brain tumor. The anteroposterior elongation and downward displacement of the upper brainstem by transtentorial herniation results in the compression and tearing of the paramedian perforating vessels that feed the upper brainstem tegmentum. The consequent hemorrhage that involves the upper brainstem renders recovery to be almost impossible. Following a tricuspid valve replacement surgery, a 56-year-old woman developed a left fronto-temporo-parietal nontraumatic subdural hematoma resulting in transtentorial herniation of the left mesial temporal lobe. A successful surgical evacuation of the hematoma was done with clinical improvement. Two days later, she was referred to neurology with an aggravated right side weakness, dysarthria, and a newly developed extraocular movement disturbance. A brain CT and MRI showed a pontine hemorrhage. We report a case of pontine hemorrhage, a Duret hemorrhage, after the surgical evacuation of nontraumatic subdural hematoma.
