Estreia da terapia de reparo transcateter edge-to-edge nas valvas tricúspide e mitral em um único procedimento na América Latina: relato de caso / First performance of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral and tricuspid valve repair in a single procedure in Latin America: case report

Apresentamos o caso debutante na América Latina de reparos transcateteres edge- to-edge nas valvas mitral e tricúspide em um único procedimento em paciente de alto risco para cirurgia. A paciente evoluía com insuficiência cardíaca e limitações em suas atividades diárias quando foi submetida ao procedimento, no qual foram realizados os reparos transcateteres das valvas mitral e tricúspide. Aos 6 meses de evolução, estava assintomática e realizando suas atividades diárias. Debatemos as recomendações mais atualizadas sobre a terapia transcateter para coexistência dessas doenças valvares, assim como expomos as lacunas no conhecimento.

We present the first case in Latin America of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral and tricuspid valve repair in a single procedure, in a patient at high risk for surgery. The patient progressed to heart failure and limitation in her daily living activities when she was submitted to transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve repair. Six months later, she was asymptomatic and performing her daily living activities. We discuss the most updated recommendations for transcatheter repair when both valvar conditions coexist, and show the knowledge gaps.

Cloning Expression and Functional Verification of recF and recO Gene from Deinococcus radiodurans R1 in Escherichia coli / 环境与健康杂志

Objective To construct expressing recombinant of recF and recO from Deinococcus radiodurans R1and express the target protein in E.coli BL21(DE)3.Methods recF and recO gene were amplified by PCR from genomic DNA of Deinococcus radiodurans R1 and inserted into expression plasmid vector pET30b(+) to construct pET30b(+)-recF and pET30b(+)-recO.The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.coli BL21(DE)3 and the recombinant proteins were expressed by the isopropyl-?-D-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG) and were analyzed with SDS-PAGE.The changes in the survival rate of bacteria in each group before-and after UV-irradiation were calculated.Results The recombinant plasmid pET30b(+)-recO and pET30b(+)-recF was obtained and the recombinant protein could be highly expressed in E.coli BL21(DE)3.Conclusion This study has provided a foundation for further studies and applications of the recombinant RecF and RecO,and initial detection shows that recO and recF gene can increase the resistant ability of E.coli.
