慢性缺氧大鼠肺组织钙调素活性研究

为探讨钙调素在慢性缺氧性肺动脉高压发病中的作用，将４０只Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠随机分为四组，Ｉ组为正常对照组，不接受任何处理。Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组为实验组，分别间断缺氧１、２、３周，而后采用火焰原子吸收分光光度法及磷酸二酯酶法测定四组大鼠肺组织Ｃａ＾２＋含量及ＣａＭ活性。     

61例流行性出血热患者临床各期血液流变学观察

通过血液流变学的检测,观察61例流行性出血热患者临床各期的改变。发现出血热患者临床各期,全血粘度的均数都高于正常对照的上限值。五期中少尿期升高不明显,发热期和多尿期明显升高。红细胞聚集指数各期均有显著性升高,提示出血热整个病程是DIC的形成过程。通过动态观察临床各期血液流变学的检测可及时正确地指导临床工作。     

人端粒酶RNA的cDNA探针制备及其对胃粘膜细胞端粒酶RNA表达的检测

目的 建立人端粒酶RNA表达的检测方法。方法 制备人端粒酶RNA，(human telomeraseRNA，hTR)的cDNA探针，分别应用RNA斑点杂交与端粒重复序列扩增法(TRAP)分析检测不同胃粘膜的端粒酶RNA的表达与端粒酶活性。结果 人端粒酶RNA的cDNA探针制备成功。18例活检胃癌组织及45例手术胃癌组织RNA斑点杂交检测的阳性率均为l00％，相应TRAP分析的阳性率分别为88．89％、86．67％，低于RNA斑点杂交(P＜0．05)。同时RNA斑点杂交结果提示在非癌胃组织中随着肠化程度增高人端粒酶RNA表达也增强。结论 RNA斑点杂交检测人端粒酶RNA，具有高度的敏感性和特异性，弥补了TRAP分析敏感性不足的缺点。     

2,3-Butanedione monoxime protects mice against the convulsant effect of picrotoxin by facilitating GABA-activated currents

While adult mice receiving picrotoxin (PTX) alone responded with clonic and tonic-clonic seizures, this response was greatly suppressed for mice simultaneously injected with 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM). For example, 60% and 10% of the mice convulsed when injected (i.p.) with 3.0 mg/kg PTX alone or PTX plus 205 mg/kg of BDM, respectively. In contrast, a non-oxime analogue of BDM, 2,3-butanedione (BTD), did not have this anticonvulsant effect. In order to explore the basis for the anticonvulsant effect of BDM, we recorded GABA-activated currents (I_GABA) of frontal cortical as well as ventromedial hypothalamic neurons before, during and after exposure to this oxime. BDM had a biphasic effect on concentrations (100 μM-40 mM) decreased and lower concentrations (0.01 μM–0.001 μM) potentiatedI_GABA; these effects of BDM reversed upon washout of the oxime. In contrast, BTD had no effect onI_GABA. Finally, when 0.001 μM BDM, 10–30 μM PTX and GABA were co-applied the inhibitory effect of the toxin onI_GABA was markedly suppressed. These data suggest that the anticonvulsant effect of oximes involves facilitation of the inhibitory action of GABA.     

Influence of the Compliance of the Pump Housing and Cannulas of a Paracorporeal Pneumatic Ventricular Assist Device on Transient Pressure Characteristics

Abstract: The dependence of transient pressure characteristics of a ventricular assist device (VAD) on the compliance of its housing and cannulas was investigated in a mock circulation. The peak rate of change of pressure ( dP/dt _max) values was greater in the cannulas than other compartments and was associated with valve closure-induced pressure oscillations. When cannula compliance was increased from 0.0057 to 0.0129 cm³/mm Hg, these values decreased by ˜20%, and outflow cannula pressure oscillation frequency decreased from 17.5 Hz by 35%. This trend was also apparent in the inflow. A VAD housing compliance increase from 0.0162 to 0.0483 cm³/mm Hg caused a dP/dt _max decrease of 30% in both the blood chamber and the outflow cannula. The effect of this change on the inflow was weaker implying that housing absorbs the energy associated with outflow deceleration more effectively than the inflow. These findings suggest that increasing VAD housing and cannulas compliance can improve hydrodynamic performance.

生殖道沙眼衣原体感染与不孕和自然流产的关系

采用荧光染色技术对１１０例不孕症和３２例自然流产病例的宫颈刮片标本进行检测，其中有３５例（３１．８％）不孕症和１４例（４３．７％）自然而产病人的宫颈上皮细胞内检出沙眼衣原体包涵体。与此同时，对这些阳性病例的配偶进行尿道粘膜印片检查，分别检出尿道粘膜上皮细胞内沙眼衣原体包涵体２９例（８２．６％）和１１例（７８．８％）。对照组系１３６例正常妊娠的孕妇和２００例妇女病普查的病例，分别检出衣原体包涵体５．８％和９．０５％。研究结果表明不孕和自然流产与生殖道沙眼衣原体感染有关。
