We present a 42-year-old female, with multiple sclerosis, whose neurological symptoms and respiratory decline were finally explained by the diagnosis of West Nile-encephalitis. During her admission, the isolated peaked T-waves indicated the underlying stress-induced cardiomyopathy. The absence of all other causes of hyperacute T-waves, their subsequent resolution with the resolution of infection and improvement in wall motion abnormalities, further supported the association. This case highlights the importance of considering hyperacute T-waves in an approach towards the diagnosis of WNV-encephalitis related atypical variant of stress-induced cardiomyopathy.展开更多

文摘Several cardiac outcomes have been reported with West Nile-encephalitis;however, the underlying pathophysiology remains complex. We present a 42-year-old female, with multiple sclerosis, whose neurological symptoms and respiratory decline were finally explained by the diagnosis of West Nile-encephalitis. During her admission, the isolated peaked T-waves indicated the underlying stress-induced cardiomyopathy. The absence of all other causes of hyperacute T-waves, their subsequent resolution with the resolution of infection and improvement in wall motion abnormalities, further supported the association. This case highlights the importance of considering hyperacute T-waves in an approach towards the diagnosis of WNV-encephalitis related atypical variant of stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
文摘根据GenBank中发表的西尼罗病毒(WNV)E domainⅢ基因序列设计1对引物,用PCR方法扩增domainⅢ基因片段,回收目的基因片段定向克隆入果蝇表达载体pMT/B/V5,构建重组表达载体pMT-DⅢ。测序验证正确后,用脂质体转染法与辅助质粒pCoBlast共转染果蝇S2细胞,通过Blasticidin进行加压筛选,获得了抗性细胞S2-DⅢ。提取S2-DⅢ细胞的基因组DNA,用PCR方法检测目的基因在果蝇S2细胞中的整合与表达。用硫酸铜溶液诱导表达,收集无血清的细胞表达上清,样品浓缩后进行SDS-PAGE及Western blotting鉴定。结果表明,研究成功构建了重组表达载体pMT-DⅢ,转染细胞经12mg/L的Blasticidin筛选及鉴定后获得了稳定表达WNV E do-mainⅢ蛋白的果蝇S2细胞株。
