17β-雌二醇对子宫内膜异位症患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达的影响

目的研究17β-雌二醇(17β-E2)对子宫内膜异位症(内异症)患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达的影响,探讨Wnt/β-catenin信号通路在介导雌激素促进内异症发生发展的作用。方法体外分离培养内异症患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞。用不同浓度17β-E2处理子宫内膜间质细胞48 h;此后选用10-10mol/L 17β-E2处理子宫内膜间质细胞12、24和48 h,逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和免疫印迹法(Western blotting)检测17β-E2处理前后子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白的表达水平。同法分析雌激素受体拮抗剂ICI182,780(10-6mol/L)对17β-E2促进β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达的影响。免疫组织化学染色观察17β-E2作用后β-catenin在子宫内膜间质细胞中的定位。结果17β-E2能明显促进内异症患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白的表达,并呈剂量和时间依赖性,于10-10mol/L作用48 h最明显。雌激素受体拮抗剂ICI182,780能明显抑制17β-E2对子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白的表达。免疫组织化学染色发现17β-E2能促进β-catenin在子宫内膜间质细胞核内的表达。结论雌激素可能通过激活Wnt/β-catenin信号通路促进内异症在位子宫内膜的异位种植。

Iα1基因hs1,2 区B等位基因与IgA肾病的易感性相关

［摘要］ 目的：研究Iα1 hs1,2 VNTR多态性与我国IgA肾病的相关关系。 方法： 采集419例肾活检证实的IgA肾病患者及其一级亲属、条件相当的201例健康志愿者血样，提取基因组DNA。用PCR产物直接电泳法鉴定Iα1 hs1,2 VNTR基因型，采用以家庭为基础的传递/不平衡分析（TDT）和单倍型相对危险度（HRR），以及病例-对照研究分析Iα1 hs1,2 VNTR多态性与我国IgA肾病的相关关系。 结果： ① TDT分析结果显示Iα1 hs1,2 VNTR B等位基因从杂合子父母向患者传递的频率显著高于预期值(101 Trios, χ2=6.818, P＜0.01，扩展TDT分析也得到相同结果(164家庭, χ2=7.583, P＜0.01)。②与TDT结果一致，HRR分析同样显示Iα1 hs1,2 VNTR B等位基因的过度传递 (P＜0.05, χ2=4.122, HRR=1.180)， 而BB基因型具有更强的患病倾向 (P＜0.05, χ2=4.411, OR=1.538)。③病例-对照研究显示IgA肾病组B 等位基因频率显著高于正常对照组(χ2=6.968, P＜0.05)。 结论： Iα1 hs1,2 VNTR基因多态性与我国IgA肾病患者的易感性相关。     

Effects of scopolamine on variable intertrial interval spatial alternation and memory in the rat

A repeated measures procedure, variable intertrial interval (ITI) spatial alternation, was used to assess scopolamine effects on memory, and to compare effects of the drug on discrimination processes with effects on storage. Rats learned in two stages to press left and right levers in alternation on discrete trials separated by 5 different ITI's ranging from 2.5 to 40 s and presented in random order during the experimental session. In the first stage, alternating discrimination, alternation was controlled by a light on over the correct lever at the time of the trial; in the second stage, variable ITI spatial alternation, a centrally located panel light signalled all trials and alternation was controlled by stimuli from prior trials (memory). Alternation response occurrence declined moderately (but significantly) with increasing ITI duration in both the alternating discrimination and variable ITI spatial alternation stages; response occurrence was also significantly decreased by scopolamine treatment in both stages. Accuracy of alternating discrimination performance was not significantly altered by either ITI duration or scopolamine treatment. Accuracy of variable ITI spatial alternation performance on a trial varied inversely with the duration of the ITI that preceded the trial. Scopolamine treatment significantly reduced accuracy of lever pressing in variable ITI spatial alternation but did not alter the slope of the curves relating accuracy to ITI duration. These effects indicate that the drug impaired discrimination processes but did not alter memory storage.     

Prosopo-Thoracopagus Conjoined Twins and Other Cephalopagus-Thoracopagus Intermediates: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Prosopo-thoracopagus twins are united from the face down to the umbilicus, none with union in the brain but all with visceral anomalies intermediate between those of cephalopagus and thoracopagus. In a review of over 1200 cases of conjoined twins reported during the past 100 years, there were 14 that illustrate the continuum between cephalopagus and thoracopagus, including three that were united only from the cervical region to the umbilicus. Classic cephalopagus twins are joined from the top of the head to the umbilicus, sharing a single foregut as well as two relatively normal hearts, the “posterior” one often diminished. Typical thoracopagus, however, are conjoined only from the upper thorax to the umbilicus, each twin with a normal foregut but both sharing a single complex multiventricular heart. The intermediate cases shared either a single very abnormal heart or two hearts united by double aortic arches, and all except one had a single foregut. It is these cases intermediate between cephalopagus and thoracopagus which are the subject of this report. Received September 11, 1996; accepted December 16, 1996     

"察同"与"察异"--对"肝肾同源"理论的评价

从“察同”、“察异”的东西方科学认识事物的不同取向入手,对“肝肾同源”理论进行较为全面的评价。“肝肾同源”理论追求对事物的共性认识,对指导“肝肾同治”具有积极的意义,但其“察异”的不足也带来忽视肝、肾个性的弊端,尤其是“肝”之个性的忽视。
