兔心肌梗塞模型制备方法的改进及其在MRI中的应用

目的　对兔心肌缺血的模型制备方法进行改进 ,并探讨其在 MRI诊断研究中的价值。方法　分别采用高位结扎左冠状动脉前降支 (L AD)和同时低位结扎 L AD及左冠状动脉旋支 (L Cx)建立兔心肌梗塞模型 ,并在术后行 MRI检查 ,对取材后心肌标本行氯化三苯四氮唑 (TTC)及病理检查。结果　 1L AD组 2 0 % (5 / 2 5 )发生心室颤动导致死亡 ,L AD +L Cx组无一例发生室颤死亡。 2 L AD组 EKG改变明显者占 5 6 % (14 / 2 5 ) ,其中 2 1.4 3% (3/14 )在即刻就有 EKG明显改变 ,并在 30分钟后恢复正常 ;EKG改变不明显者占 4 4 % (11/ 2 5 ) ;L AD +L Cx组 10 0 %有 EKG明显改变 ,且 30分钟后亦无明显恢复。 3L AD组心肌梗塞范围较小 ,并均限于左室前壁 ,室间隔前部损害 ;而 L AD+L Cx组心肌梗塞范围较大 ,且累及左室前壁及侧壁 ,无一例有室间隔前部损害。4 L AD组中有 30 % (6 / 2 0 )不能显示小灶缺血局部心肌运动降低 ,16 .6 7% (3/ 18)无法分辨早期小梗塞灶的 MRI信号变化 ;而 L AD+L Cx组均能显示缺血局部心肌运动降低及梗塞灶早期的 MRI信号变化。结论　低位结扎兔心 L AD+L Cx,手术死亡率低 ,EKG改变明显 ,梗塞面积较大 ,是 MRI研究中一种较理想的心肌缺血动物模型制备方法。     

六神丸及其加味抗急性白血病的实验研究

本研究从血象、骨髓、病理、骨髓细胞增殖动力学的角度证明:六神丸具有明显的抑制和杀伤实验白血病小鼠(L7212)白血病细胞的作用(主要机理类似细胞毒剂),具有缓解、减轻白血病细胞对肝脾浸润,明显延长白血病小鼠生存期的作用;六神丸加味(加用清热解毒方、活血化淤方、益气养阴方、补气养血方、补肾方)和六神丸具有明显的协同作用。     

PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS Ⅰ. EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF OPEN NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS BY QUALITATIVE ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE ISOENZYME IN AMNIOTIC FLUID

The measurement of amniotic fluid (AF) acetylcholinesterase isoenzyme (AChEI) is a relatively new method for early diagnosis of open neural tube defects (NTDs). As quantitative methods are of unproven reliability at present, the authors used a high resolving power qualitative method-vertical slab polyaerylamide gel electrophoresis. The benefits of this technique are: simplicity of operation, accuracy, unsophisticated equipment, and easily available reagents. Combined results of 9 NTDs studies revealed that samples from early pregnancy gave more accurate results than those from late pregnancy.     

Promoting effect of the Chinese medicinal herb, wikstroemia chamaedaphne and tung oil extracts on carcinoma of the uterine cervix induced by HSV-2 or methylcholanthrene (MCA) in mice

The promoting effect of the Chinese medicinal herb, Wikstroemia chamaedaphne and Tung oil extracts (WC and HHPA) on carcinoma of uterine cervix induced by HSV-2 or MCA in mice was studied. The results showed that WC and HHPA extracts were not carcinogenic themselves. After carcinogen HSV-2 and MCA treatment, WC and HHPA were added separately. The inducing rates by HSV-2 increased from 7.4% to 21.1% and 26.3%, those by MCA increased from 56.5% to 82.8% and 84.4%. There was a significant difference between the combined groups and groups with HSV-2 or MCA only. The experimental results suggest that these two kinds of extracts play a promoting effect on carcinogenesis. The relation between the carcinogenesis of uterine cervix or nasopharynx and WC or HHPA extracts is discussed.     

米非司酮对妊娠中期胎儿心脏超微结构的影响

目的:探讨米非司酮对妊娠中期胎儿心脏超微结构的影响。方法:将计划引产孕妇随机分为两组:对照组(水囊组)10例,实验组(米非司酮+水囊)15例。实验组按孕龄分为实验Ⅰ组(10例,16~22周),实验Ⅱ组(5例,23~28周)。实验组口服米非司酮100mg,连服3天,行水囊引产,对照组只行水囊引产。胎儿娩出后取心肌组织进行样本制备,然后在电镜下观察组织的超微结构。结果:细胞肿胀、空化,细胞膜不完整,闰盘分离,部分细胞连接消失。细胞核多呈不规则形,核内染色质凝聚呈块状,部分细胞核空化,核周围可见脂褐素。大部分肌丝断裂,肌节结构消失,少数可辩残留肌节结构,其间可见少量核糖体,但各带结构不清。线粒体肿胀,高度空化,嵴断裂,细胞基质局部空化。毛细血管内皮细胞肿胀。心肌组织细胞的超微结构有改变,且孕龄越小,超微结构改变越明显。结论:米非司酮可以引发胎儿心脏的缺血缺氧性改变。     

Effects of intermittent diethylstilbestrol diphosphate administration on the R3327 rat prostatic carcinoma

Clinical trials have utilized intermittent diethylstilbestrol diphosphate (DES) therapy in advanced symptomatic prostatic carcinoma to diminish the morbidity of standard endocrine therapy. To determine the effect of intermittent DES administration on the Dunning R3327 rat prostatic adenocarcinoma 60 days following tumor implant, 6 groups were randomly assigned: control (N = 8), castrate (N = 10), high dose DES (N = 8, 1.6 micrograms/ml DES continuously in drinking water), low dose DES (N = 10, 0.4 microgram/ml continuously in drinking water), intermittent high dose DES (N = 10, 1.6 micrograms/ml DES in drinking water for 1 week, then off for 3 weeks), and intermittent low dose DES (N = 10, 0.4 microgram/ml DES for 1 week, then off for 3 weeks). Results indicate that low or high dose DES, and intermittent low or intermittent high dose DES during the week of administration were able to reduce serum testosterone to castrate levels (0.1 ng/ml). After withdrawal of intermittent DES, serum testosterone returned toward control levels (1.0 ng/ml). Initial mean tumor burden between control and treatment groups was not significantly different. All DES exposed rats had a tumor volume at death (range, 15.6-18.3 cm3) smaller than control (mean, 25.4 cm3) or castrate (mean, 40.8 cm3) rats. Despite this significant survival advantage from the time of randomization was achieved only in castrate (median survival, 331 days) or high dose DES (median survival, 359 days) groups compared to control (median survival, 225 days). Similarly, significant prolongation in tumor doubling time was achieved only by rats receiving castration or high dose DES. Intermittent DES administration controls tumor volume but does not provide a survival advantage. In this respect, intermittent DES is inferior to castration.

目的 检测再生障碍性贫血患者血清中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)与表皮生长因子(EGF)的浓度,探讨VEGF和EGF在再生障碍性贫血患者血液中的表达及二者之间的关系和意义.方法 应用酶联免疫技术(ELISA法)检测20例再障患者及40名健康人血清中VEGF和EGF浓度.结果 20例再生障碍性贫血患者血清VEGF的含量为50.5±34.8pg/ml,对照组血清VEGF的含量为108.5±50.6 pg/ml,两组比较有统计学意义(P＜0.05).20例再生障碍性贫血患者血清EGF含量为0.15±0.11 μg/L,40例正常对照组血清EGF含量为0.76±0.80 μg/L.结论 再生障碍性贫血患者血清VEGF、EGF浓度显著低于健康对照组,且二者呈显著正相关.
