谷氨酸诱导体外培养的鸡胚脊髓神经细胞释放NO

用鸡胚脊髓神经细胞的原代培养,测定细胞中亚硝酸盐的含量,研究了谷氨酸(Glu)对原代培养神经细胞中NO的影响。结果表明,谷氨酸作用于原代培养的鸡胚脊髓神经细胞,在诱导神经细胞释放乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)的同时,还可诱导细胞释放一氧化氮(NO)。如先用NO合成酶抑制剂L-NOARG作用细胞,再加入Glu,则发现L-NOARG能降低Glu导致的培养液中LDH活性升高。提示NO可能参与介导Glu的神经毒性作用。     

神经生长因子对小鼠突触体内Ca^2＋水平的调节作用

观察了多次海马内微注射ＮＧＦ对小鼠突触体内游离钙水平的影响，并在离体情况下观察ＮＧＦ对ＥＧＴＡ和ＣａＣｌ２分别造成突触体内低钙和高钙状态的调节作用。结果如下：（１）在体实验表明，一定剂量的ＮＧＦ可显著降低老年小鼠海马突触体内游离钙水平（Ｐ＜００５）；（２）离体实验表明，当突触体游离钙水平降低时，适当剂量的ＮＧＦ具有升高游离钙水平的作用；而突触体内游离钙水平升高时，则ＮＧＦ有降低游离钙水平的作用。提示ＮＧＦ对游离钙水平的双向调节作用可能是ＮＧＦ改善老年性记忆衰退的作用机制。     

Oral and dental manifestations in diabetic and nondiabetic uremic patients receiving hemodialysis.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the dental condition and oral manifestations in diabetic and nondiabetic uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 128 patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy were classified into the diabetic and nondiabetic groups and examined for uremic oral manifestations, dental caries, and the periodontal status. All the patients received predialytic salivary pH examination. In the diabetic group, the correlation between oral findings and glycemic controlled levels, which was collected based on Hb A1C values, were further studied. RESULTS: The diabetic group exhibited significantly higher prevalence of caries and more severe dry mouth, taste change, and mucosa pain than the nondiabetic group. The diabetic group tended to have lower predialytic salivary pH, and patients with poor glycemic control (ie, Hb A1C > 9%) showed higher incidence of dry mouth, mucosal pain, and tongue coating. However, the DMFT and CPI index were not associated with glycemic control in the diabetic group. CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that diabetic uremic patients undergoing maintained hemodialysis exhibited a potentially higher risk for dental decay and xerostomia. Lower salivary pH and poor glycemic control may affect oral manifestations. Further research is needed to clarify the combined influence of diabetic nephropathy on oral health.     

吡酮酸类抗菌药物的研究Ⅷ.1-对氟苯基-6-氟-1,4-二氢-4-氧-7-(1-哌嗪)噌啉-3-羧酸及其类似物的合成和构效关系

为探讨构效关系,合成了1-对氟苯基-6-氟-1,4-二氢-4-氧-7-(1-哌嗪)噌啉-3-羧酸及其喹啉、萘啶、吡啶[2,3-C]哒嗪环系类似物16个。测定了对大肠杆菌的MIC。用Hückel分子轨道理论(HMO)方法计算了四个母体环上电子密度。结果表明:环中氮的位置对药效团——3位羧基和4位羰基氧原子上电子密度的影响较大而影响其抗菌活性。喹啉、萘啶两环系的3位羧基和4位羰基氧原子上的电子密度较高,其体外抗菌活性较高;而噌啉及吡啶[2,3-C]哒嗪两环系的电子密度较低,其体外抗菌活性较低甚至消失。     

胰腺假性囊肿的外科治疗：附89例报告

目的：探讨胰腺假性囊肿的治疗策略。方法：回顾性分析近5年湘雅医院普通外科收治的89例胰腺假性囊肿临床资料，根据囊肿部位、形成时间及囊壁厚度，采用非手术治疗20例，经皮囊肿穿刺引流7例，开腹手术62例（外引流8例、内引流45例、囊肿切除9例）。结果： 全组无死亡病例，手术后并发症发生率15.9%，随访3个月至5年，复发率5.6%。结论：胰腺假性囊肿的治疗宜根据情况采用不同方式，非手术治疗适于无并发症者;急诊手术应选择外引流;囊壁成熟者，选择内引流术疗效好。     

Duodenojejunal intussusception secondary to hamartomatous polyp of Brunner's glands

A case of duodenojejunal intussusception secondary to a large hamartomatous polyp of Brunner's glands was reported in a 15-year-old girl. Despite a great preponderance of ileocolic intussusception in childhood, this is the first reported case of duodenojejunal intussusception occurring in that age group. The diagnosis was not made by clinical examination; complete duodenal obstruction was shown in upper gastrointestinal series and by endoscopy. The intussusception was reduced manually at laparotomy, and the polyp was excised. Pathological examination revealed a preponderance of normal-appearing Brunner's glands in the tumor, consistent with the diagnosis of Brunner's gland hamartoma.     

硫酸多糖对体外人脐静脉内皮细胞损伤的保护作用

研究表明,硫酸多糖体外对多聚阳离子和氧自由基损伤的人脐静脉内皮细胞有保护作用。肝素、硫酸软骨素A抗多聚阳离子损伤作用比同浓度低分子肝素和甘糖酯强。肝素、硫酸软骨素A、甘糖酯抗氧自由基损伤作用优于同浓度低分子肝素。结果显示硫酸多糖有保护血管内皮的作用,其作用可能与所带阴离子基团有关。     

Status and trend of HIV-1 infection and AIDS in Taiwan, December, 1991.

From May 1, 1985 to December 31, 1991, a total of 4,962,707 serum samples from 8 population groups in Taiwan were tested for anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (anti-HIV-1). In total, 256 samples were seropositive; of these individuals, 43 developed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS): 29 were homosexuals; 5 were hemophiliacs; 8 were heterosexuals and 1 was of unknown risk. Although the prevalence of HIV-1 infection and AIDS remains low compared with other countries, since 1988 the increase has been rapid. Before 1977 the majority were homosexuals and hemophiliacs; thereafter the risk groups diversified, with a trend away from homosexuals and hemophiliacs towards heterosexuals and intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs). A few patients have caused serious social problems for the public, health care workers and families. Active community efforts are needed to achieve future success in the control of HIV-1 infection and AIDS in Taiwan.
