Unusual dTDP-sugars are key intermediate in many pathogenic bacteria. In this study, negative-ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS) with collision-induced dissociation (CID) was used to study the fragmentation characteristics of six unusual nucleotide diphosphate sugars. The results indicated the major fragment of the six unusual nucleoside sugars observed in the ESI-MS-MS spectra resulted from cleavage of diphosphate moiety and their characteristic fragment ions at m/z 401, 383, and 321, correspond to [TDP-H] together with fragment ions resulting from the loss of water and phosphate moiety, respectively. Furthermore, 4-position substituted change of unusual sugar rings affected the stability of two important characteristic fragment ions of [glycosyl-1"-PO3](-) and [glycosyl-1"-P2O6](-).

BACKGROUND:At present, there is no relevant systematic research about the effects of ankle-foot orthoses on lower limb muscles. OBJECTIVE:To extract the main features of the surface electromyography signals of the lower limbs from normal people with ankle-foot orthoses and to analyze the effects of the fixed ankle-foot orthoses on lower limb muscle fatigue. METHODS:Each of five male healthy young adults was respectively required to walk with and without special ankle-foot orthoses for three times. (1) Group 1, walking in a nature gait without orthoses. (2) Group 2, walking in a natural gait with ankle-foot orthoses (the ankle center was packaged over 1.0 cm by the orthoses that was recorded 1.0 cm); wearing the same orthoses but 1.0 cm in the ankle was removed and the ankle plastic edge was just through the ankle center to colect the data (recorded as 0 cm); after 1.0 cm was removed again in the ankle, walking in a natural gait (recorded as-1.0 cm). (3) Group 3, wearing 1.5 cm heel-height ankle-foot orthoses and walking in a natural gait; wearing the same orthoses but with 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm heel-height and walking in a natural gait. During walking, surface electromyography signals were colected from the biceps femoris muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, and gastrocnemius of the lower limbs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Without orthoses, the surface electromyography signals were the weakest. (2) For any muscle, the electrical activity of subjects without orthoses was weaker than that of subjects wearing orthoses at different hardness. (3) For the biceps femoris muscle, the integral electrical value without orthoses was very close to that wearing orthoses with normal heel height. Meanwhile, these two values were lower than that wearing orthoses with abnormal heel height. These findings indicate that the fixed plastic ankle-foot orthoses could cause the fatigue of the biceps femoris muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, and gastrocnemius; and the orthoses with abnormal heel height can further increase the fatigue of the biceps femoris muscle.

Objective To investigate the expression of Foxo3a and p27kip1 in lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after injury of sciatic nerve in rats. Methods Adult rats were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. The rats in experimental group were subjected to sciatic nerve clamp.Expression and distribution of Foxo3a and p27kip1 and cellular proliferation and axon regeneration in DRG was detected by western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results Foxo3a protein levels begined to reduce at 1 day (7.0 ± 3.5), reached valley at 2 day (6.0 ± 3.8) after injury, and following Foxo3a downregulation, p27kip1 protein levels begined to decrease at 2 day (29.0 ± 3.5), reached valley at 7 day (21.0± 3.0) after injury. Down-regulation of Foxo3a and p27kip1 was expressed predominantly in neurons and glial cells by double immunolabelling. Foxo3a and p27kip1 were expressed in neurons [(37.8 ± 5.7)%, (43.3 ±4.3)%] and glial [(22.4 ± 3.9)%, (13.8 ± 3.2)%] cells in sections of DRG at 2 day after injury less than neurons [(73.6 ± 2.5)%, (84.1 ± 3.7)%] and glial [(61.3 ± 4.4)%, (68.7 ± 5.6)%] cells in sections of normal DRG. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and GAP-43 were up-regulation from 2 day, and PCNA reached peak at 7 day after injury.The glial cells were the main type of cellular proliferation.Conclusion Down-regulation of Foxo3a and p27kip1 in lumbar DRG is correlated with the proliferation of glial cells and axonal regeneration after sciatic nerve injury.

Objective To investigate the expression of Foxo3a in the lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after sciatic nerve injury in rats. Methods Forty-two adult rats were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. Rats in experimental group were subjected to sciatic nerve clamp. Expression and distribution of Foxo3a, growth associated protein (CAP) and axon regeneration in DRC were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescent staining. Results (1) After sciatic nerve injury, Foxo3a protein levels began to reduce at day 1, reached the lowest level at day 2 and then gradually rose to nomal level at four weeks after sciatic nerve injury. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and GAP-43 were up-regulated from day 2, and the level of PCNA reached peak at day 7 after sciatic nerve injury in DRC. (2) Down-regulation of Foxo3a was observed predominantly in neurons and glial cells. PCNA mostly expressed in glial cells and hardly in neurons. Conclusion Down-regulation of Foxo3a in lumbar DRG may correlate with axonal regeneration and the proliferation of glial cells after sciatic nerve injury.

It is generally believed that liposomes modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) have no or lower immunogenicity. However, based on many recent literatures, when the PEGylated liposomes were repeatedly applied to the same animal, the immune responses occurred. The first injection of PEGylated liposomes resulted in a reduction in the circulation time and an increase in hepatic and splenic accumulation of the second dose of PEGylated liposomes in a time-interval, which was called "accelerated blood clearance (ABC)" phenomenon. Such immunogenicity of PEGylated liposomes presents a barrier in the research of liposomal formulations and their use in the clinics. This review focused on the definition, the method of verification, the development of the reason for ABC phenomenon, influencing factors of ABC phenomenon, and discussed if other PEGylated nanocarriers also induce ABC phenomenon.
