background

Infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against tumor necrosis factor a ,is an established treatment for Crohn’s disease but not ulcerative colitis.

methods

Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies — the Active Ulcerative Colitis Trials 1 and 2 (ACT 1 and ACT 2, respectively) — evaluated the efficacy of inflix-imab for induction and maintenance therapy in adults with ulcerative colitis. In each study, 364 patients with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis despite treatment with concurrent medications received placebo or infliximab (5 mg or 10 mg per kilo-gram of body weight) intravenously at weeks 0, 2, and 6 and then every eight weeks through week 46 (in ACT 1) or week 22 (in ACT 2). Patients were followed for 54 weeks in ACT 1 and 30 weeks in ACT 2.

results

In ACT 1, 69 percent of patients who received 5 mg of infliximab and 61 percent of those who received 10 mg had a clinical response at week 8, as compared with 37 percent of those who received placebo (P<0.001 for both comparisons with placebo). A response was defined as a decrease in the Mayo score of at least 3 points and at least 30 percent,with an accompanying decrease in the subscore for rectal bleeding of at least 1 point or an absolute rectal-bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. In ACT 2, 64 percent of patients who re-ceived 5 mg of infliximab and 69 percent of those who received 10 mg had a clinical re-sponse at week 8, as compared with 29 percent of those who received placebo (P<0.001for both comparisons with placebo). In both studies, patients who received infliximab were more likely to have a clinical response at week 30 (P≤0.002 for all comparisons).In ACT 1, more patients who received 5 mg or 10 mg of infliximab had a clinical re-sponse at week 54 (45 percent and 44 percent, respectively) than did those who received placebo (20 percent, P<0.001 for both comparisons).

conclusions

Patients with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis treated with infliximab at weeks 0, 2, and 6 and every eight weeks thereafter were more likely to have a clinical response at weeks 8, 30, and 54 than were those receiving placebo. (https://www.wendangku.net/doc/9112528924.html,

december 8, 2005 infliximab for ulcerative colitis

2463

lcerativ e colitis is character- ized by mucosal ulceration, rectal bleed-ing, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Phar-macologic management of ulcerative colitis has relied mainly on 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids,and immunosuppressants, including purine anti-metabolites and cyclosporine. 1,2 Corticosteroid de-pendence is a clinically important problem 3 ; fur-thermore, the probability of colectomy within the first five years after diagnosis ranges from 9 per-cent in patients with distal colitis to 35 percent in patients with total colitis, most commonly because of failed medical therapy. 4 The cumulative risk of recurrent inflammatory bowel disease in the form of pouchitis ranges from 15.5 percent 1 year after the procedure to 45.5 percent 10 years after the procedure. 5 Accordingly, new treatments for ulcer-ative colitis are needed.

Tumor necrosis factor a (TNF- a ) is a key proin-flammatory cytokine in patients with Crohn’s dis-ease but is also found in increased concentrations in the blood, colonic tissue, and stools of patients with ulcerative colitis. 6-8 However, the role of TNF - a in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis has been debated. 9-13

Infliximab, a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal anti-body, binds with high affinity to TNF- a , neutraliz-ing its biologic activity. 14 Infliximab therapy is ef-fective for the induction and maintenance of clinical remission; closure of enterocutaneous, perianal,and rectovaginal fistulas; maintenance of fistula closure; and corticosteroid sparing in patients with Crohn’s disease. 15-18 However, the few small stud-ies of infliximab in patients with active ulcerative colitis have yielded conflicting results. 19-23 We therefore conducted 54-week and 30-week studies of infliximab in patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis: the Active Ulcerative Colitis Trials

These multicenter, randomized, double-blind, pla-cebo-controlled studies were conducted globally between March 2002 and March 2005 among 364patients at 62 sites in the ACT 1 trial and 364 pa-tients at 55 sites in the ACT 2 trial. The institutional review board or ethics committee at each site ap-proved the protocols. All patients gave written in-formed consent.

All eligible patients had an established diagno-

sis of ulcerative colitis. Patients with positive tu-berculin skin tests with the use of purified pro-tein derivative were ineligible. Also, standard chest radiographs were obtained during screening. En-doscopy (flexible sigmoidoscopy unless surveillance colonoscopy was clinically indicated) with biopsy was performed during screening to confirm the di-agnosis of ulcerative colitis by both the physician performing the endoscopy and the pathologist re-viewing the biopsy specimen. Patients who received a diagnosis of indeterminate colitis, Crohn’s dis-ease, or clinical findings suggestive of Crohn’s dis-ease (i.e., fistula or granulomas on biopsy) were ex-cluded. Eligible patients had active ulcerative colitis with a Mayo score 24

of 6 to 12 points (scores can range from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating more severe disease activity) (Table 1) and moder-ate-to-severe active disease on sigmoidoscopy (Mayo endoscopic subscore of at least 2) despite concur-rent treatment with corticosteroids alone or in com-bination with azathioprine or mercaptopurine in

?Each patient serves as his or her own control to establish the degree of abnor-mality of the stool frequency.

?The daily bleeding score represents the most severe bleeding of the day.

§The physician’s global assessment acknowledges the three other criteria, the patient’s daily recollection of abdominal discomfort and general sense of well-being, and other observations, such as physical findings and the patient’s per- formance status.

ACT 1 or despite concurrent treatment with corti-costeroids alone or in combination with azathio-prine or mercaptopurine and medications contain-ing 5-aminosalicylates in ACT 2. Concurrent therapy was not required at enrollment for patients in ACT 1and ACT 2 who had had no response to corticoste-roids within the preceding 18 months or who could not tolerate corticosteroids, patients in either study who had had no response to azathioprine or mer-captopurine within the preceding 5 years or who could not tolerate these drugs, and patients in ACT 2 who had had no response to medications con-taining 5-aminosalicylates within the preceding 18 months or who could not tolerate such drugs.Rectally administered corticosteroids or medica-tions containing 5-aminosalicylates were not per-mitted within two weeks before screening. Patients previously exposed to infliximab or any other anti-TNF agent were excluded.

study design

Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1ratio to receive intravenous infusions of infliximab (Remicade, Centocor) at a dose of 5 mg or 10 mg per kilogram of body weight or placebo at weeks 0,2, and 6 and then every eight weeks through week 22 in ACT 2 or week 46 in ACT 1. Patients were fol-lowed through week 30 in ACT 2 and week 54 in ACT 1.

Each study used central randomization with a dynamic treatment allocation stratified according to the investigational site and whether patients had ulcerative colitis that was refractory to corticoste-roid therapy. Patients were considered to have ul-cerative colitis that was refractory to corticoste-roids if their symptoms of ulcerative colitis had not improved after they received the equivalent of at least 40 mg of prednisone daily, administered oral-ly for at least two weeks or intravenously for at least one week.

Doses of concomitant medications remained constant except for corticosteroids, which were ta-pered by 5 mg weekly after week 8 until a dose of 20 mg per day was reached. Thereafter, the dose was reduced by 2.5 mg weekly until discontinuation.

follow-up and safety and efficacy evaluations

Patients in both studies were evaluated at weeks 0,2, 6, 8, 14, 22, and 30. Patients in ACT 1 were also evaluated at weeks 38, 46, and 54. The Mayo score (Table 1) was determined at weeks 0, 8, and 30 for

patients in both studies and at week 54 for patients in ACT 1. A partial Mayo score (Mayo score without endoscopy) was determined at all visits.

Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in the total Mayo score of at least 3 points and at least 30 percent, with an accompanying de-crease in the subscore for rectal bleeding of at least 1 point or an absolute subscore for rectal bleeding of 0 or 1. Clinical remission was defined as a total Mayo score of 2 points or lower, with no individu-al subscore exceeding 1 point. Mucosal healing was defined as an absolute subscore for endosco-py of 0 or 1.

Clinical response, clinical remission, and mu-cosal healing were assessed at weeks 8 and 30 in both studies and at week 54 in ACT 1. Patients who had a clinical response or who were in clinical re-mission at each time were considered to have a sus-tained clinical response or to be in sustained clini-cal remission, respectively.

In both studies, adverse events and concomi-tant medications were recorded at each visit. Se-rum specimens for the identification of antibodies against infliximab and antinuclear antibodies were collected at weeks 0 and 30 in both studies and at week 54 in ACT 1, with the use of previously de-scribed methods. 25 Samples positive for antinucle-ar antibodies were tested for antibodies against double-stranded DNA.

statistical analysis

The primary end point was a clinical response at week 8. Secondary end points were a clinical re-sponse or clinical remission with discontinuation of corticosteroids at week 30 in both studies and at week 54 in ACT 1, a clinical remission and mucosal healing at weeks 8 and 30 in both studies and at week 54 in ACT 1, and a clinical response at week 8 in patients with a history of disease refractory to corticosteroids. Patients who took prohibited medi-cation because of lack of efficacy or loss of response to the study medication, who discontinued the study medication because of lack of efficacy, or who un-derwent a colectomy or ostomy were not consid-ered to have had a clinical response, to be in clinical remission, or to have had mucosal healing from the time of the event onward, regardless of their Mayo score. In addition, patients with insufficient data for the assessment of a response were not con-sidered to have had a clinical response, to be in clinical remission, or to have had mucosal heal-ing at that visit.

Demographic and baseline characteristics were compared with the use of the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and with the use of analysis of variance for van der Waerden normal scores for continuous variables. A two-sid-ed Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel chi-square test, at a significance level of 0.05, stratified according to corticosteroid-refractory status and the location of the study center, was used to compare dichotomous end points (i.e., clinical response, clinical remis-sion, mucosal healing, and clinical remission with discontinuation of corticosteroids) among treat-ment groups. All efficacy analyses used intention-to-treat methods. Safety comparisons were per-formed with the use of Fisher’s exact test and were based on the combination of the two groups receiv-ing infliximab as compared with the placebo group.Assuming a response rate of 30 percent in the pla-

cebo group and a two-sided probability of 0.05, we estimated that 120 patients would be needed in each group to give the study a statistical power of 95 percent to detect an improvement in the re-sponse rate to 50 percent.

These studies were designed and conducted by the steering committees for ACT 1 and ACT 2 and by Centocor. The members of the steering commit-tee and Centocor jointly analyzed and interpreted the data and contributed to the manuscript. The ac-ademic authors had full access to the data and vouch for the veracity and completeness of the data

In ACT 1, 364 patients underwent randomization:121 were assigned to receive placebo, 121 to receive 5 mg of infliximab, and 122 to receive 10 mg of in-fliximab. The baseline characteristics of the patients were similar (Table 2), although the mean duration of disease among patients who received 10 mg of infliximab was longer than among those who re-ceived 5 mg or placebo. Treatment was discontin-ued prematurely by 74 patients in the placebo group (61.2 percent), 45 patients in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab (37.2 percent), and 49 patients in the group receiving 10 mg of infliximab (40.2 per-cent) (Fig. 1).

In ACT 2, 364 patients underwent randomiza-tion: 123 were assigned to receive placebo, 121 to receive 5 mg of infliximab, and 120 to receive 10 mg of infliximab. The baseline characteristics of the patients were similar (Table 2). More than twice as many patients in the placebo group as in the other two groups prematurely discontinued the study in-fusions (Fig. 1).

efficacy

In ACT 1 at week 8, 69.4 percent of patients in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab (84 of 121) and 61.5 percent of patients in the group receiving 10mg of infliximab (75 of 122) had had a clinical re-sponse, as compared with 37.2 percent of patients in the placebo group (45 of 121, P<0.001 for both comparisons) (Fig. 2A). In ACT 2 at week 8, 64.5percent of patients in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab (78 of 121) and 69.2 percent of patients in the group receiving 10 mg of infliximab (83 of

120) had had a clinical response, as compared with 29.3 percent of patients in the placebo group (36of 123, P<0.001 for both comparisons) (Fig. 2A).In both studies, the proportions of patients who had a clinical response or remission at weeks 8 and 30, and at week 54 in the ACT 1 trial, were higher by a factor of 1.7 to more than 2 in the infliximab groups than in the placebo groups (Fig. 2A and 2B).The rates of clinical response were similar between the subpopulations of patients who were cortico-steroid-refractory and those who were not corti-costeroid-refractory (Table 3).

The proportions of patients with a sustained

clinical response or remission were significantly higher in the infliximab groups than in the placebo groups (Fig. 3). The partial Mayo scores in both stud-ies provide evidence of clinical improvement as ear-ly as week 2 (Table 3).

Mucosal healing at weeks 8 and 30 in each study and at week 54 in ACT 1 occurred in significantly more patients in the infliximab groups than in the placebo groups (P≤0.009 for all comparisons) (Ta-ble 3 and Fig. 2C).

At baseline, 61.0 percent of patients (222 of 364)were receiving corticosteroids in ACT 1, as were 51.1 percent in ACT 2 (186 of 364). The baseline

median daily corticosteroid dose was 20 mg per day in both studies. The proportions of patients who were in clinical remission and had discontinued cor-ticosteroids at week 30 in both studies and at week 54 in ACT 1 were higher in the infliximab groups than in the placebo groups. Similarly, the decreases in the median daily corticosteroid doses were great-er among patients in the infliximab groups than among those in the placebo group (Table 3).

antibodies against infliximab

At week 54, among 229 patients in ACT 1 who had serum samples available for the assessment of an-tibodies against infliximab, 14 (6.1 percent) had positive tests for antibodies at some point after the first infusion of infliximab (Table 4), 36 (15.7 per-cent) had negative tests (undetectable serum inflix-imab concentrations), and 179 (78.2 percent) had inconclusive tests (negative for antibodies in the presence of detectable serum infliximab concen-trations). Among 188 patients in ACT 2 who had serum samples available for the assessment of an-tibodies against infliximab, 12 (6.4 percent) had positive tests for antibodies, 34 (18.1 percent)had negative tests, and 142 (75.5 percent) had in-conclusive tests.

In ACT 1, a clinical response at week 54 occurred in 3 of 14 patients with positive tests for antibodies (21.4 percent), as compared with 3 of 36 patients with negative tests (8.3 percent) and 103 of 179 pa-tients with inconclusive tests (57.5 percent). In ACT 2, a clinical response at week 30 occurred in 11 of 19 patients with positive tests for antibodies (57.9 percent), as compared with 45 of 79 patients with negative tests (57.0 percent) and 71 of 92 pa-tients with inconclusive tests (77.2 percent).

weeks in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab,and 33.3 weeks in the group receiving 10 mg of in-fliximab. In the 30-week ACT 2, patients received treatment for 14.4 weeks in the placebo group,19.3 weeks in the group receiving 5 mg of inflix-imab, and 18.6 weeks in the group receiving 10 mg of infliximab (Table 4).

In both studies, the proportions of patients with adverse events were similar in the placebo group and the two infliximab groups (Table 4). In ACT 1,serious adverse events occurred in 25.6 percent of patients in the placebo group, 21.5 percent of pa-tients receiving 5 mg of infliximab, and 23.8 per-cent of patients receiving 10 mg of infliximab. In ACT 2, the respective rates of serious adverse events

were 19.5 percent, 10.7 percent, and 9.2 percent.In both studies, serious adverse events were most commonly related to the gastrointestinal system.In ACT 1, similar numbers of patients in each group discontinued treatment because of an ad-verse event; in ACT 2, more patients in the placebo group than in the two infliximab groups discon-tinued treatment because of an adverse event (Ta-ble 4). Among adverse events in ACT 1, prostatic adenocarcinoma developed in one patient with a two-year history of an elevated prostate-specific an-tigen concentration, and colonic dysplasia devel-oped in one patient; both had received 5 mg of in-fliximab. Basal-cell carcinoma developed in one patient treated with 10 mg of infliximab. In ACT 2,

basal-cell carcinoma developed in one patient who received placebo, and rectal adenocarcinoma developed in one patient treated with 5 mg of in-fliximab.

Only three neurologic events occurred, all in pa-tients treated with infliximab. In ACT 1, optic neu-ritis developed in one patient who received 5 mg of infliximab. After the completion of ACT 2, a multi-focal motor neuropathy with conduction block syn-drome developed in one patient who received 10 mg of infliximab and optic neuritis developed in one patient who received 5 mg of infliximab.

In both studies, the development of antinuclear antibodies and anti–double-stranded DNA antibod-ies was more common among patients in the in-fliximab groups than among those in the placebo group (Table 4). Only one patient had a lupus-like reaction. This patient was enrolled in ACT 2 and re-ceived 5 mg of infliximab.

The incidence of infections was similar among the groups in both studies (Table 4). In ACT 1, seri-ous infections occurred in five patients (4.1 per-cent) in the placebo group, three patients (2.5 per-cent) in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab, and eight patients (6.6 percent) in the group receiving 10 mg of infliximab. In ACT 2, serious infections occurred in one patient (0.8 percent) in the placebo group, two patients (1.7 percent) in the group re-ceiving 5 mg of infliximab, and three patients (2.5percent) in the group receiving 10 mg of inflix-imab. In ACT 1, tuberculosis developed in one pa-tient treated with 10 mg of infliximab. Histoplas-ma pneumonia developed in one patient in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab during the ACT 2 extension, a study phase in which patients who completed the 30-week, double-blind phase —and in the opinion of the investigators would bene-fit from continued treatment — were enrolled and continued to receive the study medication to which they had been randomly assigned. The disease pro-gressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome, re-sulting in the patient’s death.

In ACT 1, infusion reactions occurred in 13 pa-tients (10.7 percent) in the placebo group, 12 pa-tients (9.9 percent) in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab, and 15 patients (12.3 percent) in the group receiving 10 mg of infliximab (Table 4). A possible delayed hypersensitivity reaction devel-oped in two patients (1.7 percent) in the placebo group and two patients (1.7 percent) in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab. In ACT 2, infusion re-actions occurred in 10 patients (8.1 percent) in the

placebo group, 14 patients (11.6 percent) in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab, and 14 patients (11.7 percent) in the group receiving 10 mg of in-fliximab. A possible delayed hypersensitivity reac-tion occurred in one patient (0.8 percent) in the group receiving 10 mg of infliximab.

At week 54 in ACT 1, 35.7 percent of patients with positive tests for antibodies against infliximab (5 of 14) had infusion reactions, as compared with 9.8 percent of patients with negative or inconclu-sive tests (21 of 215). In ACT 2, at week 30, 50.0percent of patients with positive tests for antibod-ies against infliximab (6 of 12) had infusion reac-tions, as compared with 9.7 percent of patients with negative or inconclusive tests (17 of 176). No pa-tient in either study who had a positive test for anti-bodies had a serious infusion reaction or an ana-phylactic reaction. Only one patient in the group receiving 5 mg of infliximab in ACT 1 who had a positive test for antibodies had a serious delayed

clinical remission and minimizing the use of corti-costeroids are unmet goals in the treatment of pa-tients with ulcerative colitis, particularly those who have not had a response to corticosteroids, aza-thioprine, or mercaptopurine. 26 Our results show that infliximab is effective in patients who have mod-erate-to-severe disease despite the use of conven-tional therapy, in terms of a clinical response and remission. As compared with patients who received placebo, patients who received infliximab were sig-nificantly more likely to have a clinical response and be in clinical remission at weeks 8 and 30 in both trials and in week 54 in ACT 1. Similarly, patients who received infliximab were significantly more likely to have mucosal healing at weeks 8 and 30 in both trials and in week 54 in ACT 1. These findings are of particular importance in light of the recent suggestion that mucosal healing is the strongest predictor of a reduced risk of cancer among pa-tients with ulcerative colitis. 27,28

It is noteworthy that these studies were con-ducted in patients who had active disease despite treatment with conventional therapy. At baseline,among all 728 patients, 72 percent were receiving 5-aminosalicylates, 56 percent were receiving cor-ticosteroids, and 46 percent were receiving immu-nosuppressants.

2474 ing corticosteroids at baseline, approximately 22percent of patients treated with infliximab had dis-continued corticosteroids by week 30 among 269patients in both studies or by week 54 among 143patients in ACT 1 while maintaining clinical remis-sion. Since corticosteroid therapy is associated with considerable morbidity, 29 this corticosteroid-sparing effect is likely to be clinically meaningful.Our data do not show any major differences in efficacy between the two doses of infliximab that were studied. Thus, the preferred initial dose of in-fliximab in patients with ulcerative colitis is 5 mg per kilogram on the basis of a combination of safe-ty, efficacy, and pharmacoeconomic issues.

In both studies, the proportions of patients re-porting any adverse event were similar among the three groups. The numbers of serious infections,lupus-like reactions, and neurologic diseases were slightly higher among patients treated with inflix-imab than among patients who received placebo.The case of tuberculosis and the fatal case of histo-plasmosis in patients receiving infliximab under-score the need for physicians and patients to re-main vigilant for signs and symptoms of infection.Studies such as ACT 1 and ACT 2 were designed to evaluate efficacy and lack sufficient statistical pow-er to detect differences among treatment groups in the occurrence of rare side effects. The safety find-ings in these studies were similar to the data re-ported in clinical studies of infliximab in patients with Crohn’s disease, 15,16,30-32 in cohort stud-ies, 33,34 and in post-marketing surveillance. 35

The risks of infliximab use must be weighed against the risks of colectomy with the creation of an ileoanal pouch, which include pouchitis in ap-proximately 50 percent of patients, 5 pouch failure in approximately 10 percent of patients, 36 an 80percent reduction in female fecundity, 37 and the in-convenience of nocturnal fecal incontinence in ap-proximately 24 percent of patients. 38

The rate of development of antibodies against infliximab after the three-dose induction regimen and after the maintenance dose every eight weeks in the patients with ulcerative colitis in our studies is similar to that reported for patients with Crohn’s disease. 15,16,25,31 As was true of patients with Crohn’s disease who were treated with infliximab,patients with ulcerative colitis who had positive

tests for antibodies were more likely than those without antibodies to have infusion reactions; how-ever, most of these infusion reactions were mild.In contrast to previous experience, patients with positive or inconclusive tests for antibodies were more likely to have a clinical response at week 30or 54 25 than were patients with negative antibody tests. Patients with negative tests had a lower rate of clinical response at those times, perhaps owing to undetectable serum infliximab concentrations. This effect was most prominent at week 54. Concomi-tant use of mercaptopurine or azathioprine may have protected against the development of anti-bodies against infliximab; however, these findings should be interpreted with caution because of the small number of patients with positive tests for antibodies.

Our results also provide insight into the patho-genesis of ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is believed to result from an immune response of type 2 helper T cells in the colonic mucosa, where-as Crohn’s disease is considered an immune dis-ease of type 1 helper T cells, which would suggest that TNF- a is not an important mediator in ulcer-ative colitis. Our findings show that TNF- a plays a role in the disease process and that targeting this cytokine is an effective therapy for ulcerative coli-tis. Whether the mechanism of action of infliximab in ulcerative colitis also includes the induction of apoptosis of inflammatory cells expressing mem-brane-bound TNF- a , as in Crohn’s disease, 39 re-quires further investigation.

In conclusion, an induction regimen of three doses of infliximab followed by maintenance infu-sions every eight weeks in patients with moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis was superior to pla-cebo in achieving clinical response and remission,mucosal healing, and corticosteroid-sparing effects during 30 to 54 weeks of therapy.

英语作文关于共享单车的篇精编

(一) 假定你是红星中学初三学生李华。你的美国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国新近出现的一种共享单车“mobike”很感兴趣,并请你做个简要介绍。请你给Jim回信,内容包括: 1. 这种单车的使用方法(如:APP查看车辆、扫码开锁等); 2. 这种单车的优势; 3. 你对这种单车的看法。 注意:1. 词数不少于80; 2. 开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。 提示词:智能手机smartphone, 二维码the QR code 参考范文 Dear Jim, I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike mobike mentioned in your latest letter. It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is find a nearest mobikethrough the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip. Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well. Hope to ride a mobike with you in China. Yours, Li Hua (二) 最近很多大城市都投放了共享单车(shared bikes),比如摩拜单车(Mobike)、Ofo共享单车等。由于它们方便停放,骑车也能起到锻炼身体的作用,作为代步工具很受大家欢迎。但是,各地也出现了很多毁车现象,比如刮掉车上的二维码(QR code)、上私锁等。 你对这种现象怎么看?你对共享单车公司有什么建议吗?写一篇符合逻辑的英语短文,80词左右。 参考词汇:bike-sharing companies 共享单车公司,Mobike 和Ofo 是两家共享单车公司,convenience 方便,register登记 参考范文 The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofo bring great convenience to people. You needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next user. However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or use their own lock, which causes trouble to other users. In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time. Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because people use their real name toregister as a user, it’s a good way to connect to one’s personal credit. In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services. (三) 共享单车(bicycle sharing)已成为时下最热的话题之一,请你就这一话题写一篇短文。内容须包括三方面:1. 共享单车蓬勃发展,成为社会热潮;2. 共享单车带来便利,但也存在问题;3. 我对解决问题的建议。 参考范文 Bicycle Sharing With the development of technology, bicycle sharing comes into people's lives. It becomes more and more popular and much news reported it. At the same time, we should see that there are some problems caused by bicycle sharing. On one side, bicycle sharing makes it very convenient of people traveling. You can find a bicycle anywhere at any time when you want to go out for a cycling, and the price of one trip is very low.

脐带间充质干细胞的研究进展 间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells,MSC S )是来源于发育早期中胚层 的一类多能干细胞[1-5],MSC S 由于它的自我更新和多项分化潜能,而具有巨大的 治疗价值 ,日益受到关注。MSC S 有以下特点:(1)多向分化潜能,在适当的诱导条件下可分化为肌细胞[2]、成骨细胞[3、4]、脂肪细胞、神经细胞[9]、肝细胞[6]、心肌细胞[10]和表皮细胞[11, 12];(2)通过分泌可溶性因子和转分化促进创面愈合;(3) 免疫调控功能,骨髓源(bone marrow )MSC S 表达MHC-I类分子,不表达MHC-II 类分子,不表达CD80、CD86、CD40等协同刺激分子,体外抑制混合淋巴细胞反应,体内诱导免疫耐受[11, 15],在预防和治疗移植物抗宿主病、诱导器官移植免疫耐受等领域有较好的应用前景;(4)连续传代培养和冷冻保存后仍具有多向分化潜能,可作为理想的种子细胞用于组织工程和细胞替代治疗。1974年Friedenstein [16] 首先证明了骨髓中存在MSC S ,以后的研究证明MSC S 不仅存在于骨髓中,也存在 于其他一些组织与器官的间质中:如外周血[17],脐血[5],松质骨[1, 18],脂肪组织[1],滑膜[18]和脐带。在所有这些来源中,脐血(umbilical cord blood)和脐带(umbilical cord)是MSC S 最理想的来源,因为它们可以通过非侵入性手段容易获 得,并且病毒污染的风险低,还可冷冻保存后行自体移植。然而,脐血MSC的培养成功率不高[19, 23-24],Shetty 的研究认为只有6%,而脐带MSC的培养成功率可 达100%[25]。另外从脐血中分离MSC S ,就浪费了其中的造血干/祖细胞(hematopoietic stem cells/hematopoietic progenitor cells,HSCs/HPCs) [26, 27],因此,脐带MSC S (umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, UC-MSC S )就成 为重要来源。 一.概述 人脐带约40 g, 它的长度约60–65 cm, 足月脐带的平均直径约1.5 cm[28, 29]。脐带被覆着鳞状上皮,叫脐带上皮,是单层或复层结构,这层上皮由羊膜延续过来[30, 31]。脐带的内部是两根动脉和一根静脉,血管之间是粘液样的结缔组织,叫做沃顿胶质,充当血管外膜的功能。脐带中无毛细血管和淋巴系统。沃顿胶质的网状系统是糖蛋白微纤维和胶原纤维。沃顿胶质中最多的葡萄糖胺聚糖是透明质酸,它是包绕在成纤维样细胞和胶原纤维周围的并维持脐带形状的水合凝胶,使脐带免受挤压。沃顿胶质的基质细胞是成纤维样细胞[32],这种中间丝蛋白表达于间充质来源的细胞如成纤维细胞的,而不表达于平滑肌细胞。共表达波形蛋白和索蛋白提示这些细胞本质上肌纤维母细胞。 脐带基质细胞也是一种具有多能干细胞特点的细胞,具有多项分化潜能,其 形态和生物学特点与骨髓源性MSC S 相似[5, 20, 21, 38, 46],但脐带MSC S 更原始,是介 于成体干细胞和胚胎干细胞之间的一种干细胞,表达Oct-4, Sox-2和Nanog等多

二、分析天平的基本操作

模块二滴定分析基本操作任务一分析天平的基本操作 一、分析天平的分类 分析天平是定量分析中最常用的准确称量物质的仪器。分析天平分类:等臂(双盘)分析天平、不等臂(单盘)分析天平、电子天平。 二、电子天平的介绍 1、工作原理:电磁平衡原理,秤盘通过支架连杆支架作用于线圈上,重力方向向下。线圈内有电流通过时,根据电磁基本理论,通电的导线在磁场中将产生一个向上作用的电磁力,与秤盘重力方向相反大小相同,与之相平衡,而通过导线的电流与被称物体的质量成正比。 2、性能特点:a.使用寿命长,性能稳定,灵敏度高,体积小,操作方便 b.称 量速度快、精度高 c.具有自动校准、累计称量、超载显示、自动去皮等功能 3、称量的一般程序 水平调节——打扫——预热——开启显示器——校准——称量——结束工作 ①水平调节检查水平仪,调节水平调节脚,使水泡位于水平仪中心。 ②打扫打扫天平秤盘 ③预热通电预热30min以上 ④开启显示器按ON键,显示器亮,显示屏出现0.0000g ⑤校准按“校准”键 ⑥称量被称物置于秤盘中间进行称量 ⑦称量结束工作取下被称物,核对零点,关闭天平,进行使用登记 4、基本称量方法 ①直接称量法将称量物直接放在天平盘上直接称量物体的质量。例如,称量 小烧杯的质量,容量器皿校正中称量某容量瓶的质量,重量分析实验中称量某坩埚的质量等,都使用这种称量法。 ②固定质量称量法

用于称量某一固定质量的试剂(如基准物质)或试样。适于称量不易吸潮、在空气中能稳定存在的粉末状或小颗粒样品。 A、去皮将干燥的容器置于秤盘上,待显示平衡后按“去皮”键扣除皮重并显示零点 B、加样打开天平门,用药匙将试样抖入容器内,使之达到所需质量。 固定质量称量法注意:若不慎加入试剂超过指定质量,用牛角匙取出多余试剂,直至试剂质量符合指定要求为止。严格要求时,取出的多余试剂应弃去,不要放回原试剂瓶中。操作时不能将试剂散落于天平盘等容器以外的地方,称好的试剂必须定量地由表面皿等容器直接转入接受容器,此即所谓“定量转移”。 ③递减称量法(减量法) 用于称量一定质量范围的样品或试剂。样品易吸水、易氧化或易与二氧化碳等反应时,可选择此法。。 称量步骤:试样的保存——取出盛试样的称量瓶——称出称量瓶质量——敲样——再称出其质量——样品质量——连续称样——称量工作结束 A、试样保存待称样品放于洁净的干燥容器(称量瓶)中,置于干燥器中保存 B、取出称量瓶左手戴手套取出称量瓶或者用折叠成约1cm的纸取出 C、称出称量瓶质量称出称量瓶质量,记录数据 D、敲样将称量瓶取出,在接收容器的上方倾斜瓶身,用称量瓶盖轻敲瓶口上部使试样慢慢落入容器中,瓶盖始终不要离开接受器上方。当倾出的试样接近所需量时,一边继续用瓶盖轻敲瓶口,一边逐渐将瓶身竖直,使粘附在瓶口上的试样落回称量瓶,然后盖好瓶盖,准确称其质量。两次质量之差,即为试样的质量。按上述方法连续递减,可称量多份试样。

小学一年级介绍北京的英语作文

小学一年级介绍北京的英语作文 Beijing is an ancient city with a long history. Back in 3000 years ago in Zhou dynasty, Beijing, which was called Ji at the moment, had been named capital of Yan. Thereafter, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty all made Beijing their capital. Therefore, Beijing was famous for "Capital of a thousand years". The long history leaves Beijing precious cultural treasure. Winding for several kilometers in Beijing area, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could been seen in the space. The Summer Palace is a classic composition of ancient royal gardens, and the Forbidden City is the largest royal palaces in the world. Tiantan is where the emperor used to fete their ancestors, and also the soul of Chinese ancient constructions. The four sites above has been confirmed world cultural heritage by UNESCO. However, the best representatives for Beijing are the vanishing Hutongs and square courtyards. Through hundreds of years, they have become symbol of Beijing's life. Tian'anmen square being still brilliant today with cloverleaf junctions and skyscrapers everywhere, the old-timey scene and modern culture are combined to present a brand new visage of Beijing. As Beijing has been confirmed home city of Olympics 2008, the spirit of "green Olympics, scientific Olympics and humanized Olympic" will surely bring more and more changes to Beijing, promote the development of sports and Olympics in China as well as in the world, and strengthen the friendly communications between Chinese and foreign people. 北京是一个有着悠久历史的古城。 早在 3000 年前的周朝,北京,这叫霁,被命 名为首都燕。此后,辽、金、元、明、清都是北京首都。因此,北京著名的一千年 的“资本”。 悠久的历史使北京宝贵的文化瑰宝。绕组在北京地区几公里,长城是唯一的 人造结构,可以在空间。 颐和园是古代皇家园林的经典组合,和故宫是世界上最大 的皇家宫殿。 天坛是皇帝用来祭祀他们的祖先的地方,也是中国古代建筑的灵魂。 上面的四个网站已经确认被联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产。然而,北京最好的 代表是消失的胡同和广场庭院。数百年来,他们已经成为北京的生活的象征。天 安门广场到处都在今天依然灿烂的蝶式路口和摩天大楼的,古色古香的场景和现 代文化相结合,提出一个全新的北京的面貌。 随着北京 2008 年奥运会已被证实的家乡,精神的“绿色奥运、科技奥
