三氧化二砷脂质体的制备及其对鼠脑胶质瘤的影响

目的研究三氧化二砷（As2o3）脂质体注射液对大鼠体内C6胶质瘤细胞凋亡的影响。方法采用超声薄膜分散法制备As籼脂质体，将126只成瘤大鼠分为As2O3脂质体组、As2O3组、生理盐水组。原子荧光法检测注射As2O3脂质体和As2O3后大鼠脑组织中As2O3浓度。从电镜、TUNNEL和大鼠生存时间等方面研究As2O3脂质体对C6胶质瘤的影响。结果As203，脂质体提高了As2O3的血-脑屏障通过。电镜和TUNEL检测显示：As203脂质体组细胞凋亡率给药后3d为（13．53±1．68）％，7d为（20．03±0．79）％，多于As2O3组和盐水组。动物生存时间亦优于其他两组。结论超声薄膜分散法是制备As2O3脂质体的较好方法。As203脂质体可较As203更明显地诱导鼠脑胶质瘤细胞凋亡，延长载瘤鼠的生存期。     

抑胶素对大鼠脑胶质瘤细胞血管内皮生长因子作用的体内试验

目的研究抑胶素对大鼠脑胶质瘤血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的影响。方法采用脑立体定向术,在Wistar大鼠脑尾状核接种C6细胞,应用免疫组织化学方法检测应用抑胶素前后对鼠脑胶质瘤血管内皮生长因子的影响。结果经抑胶素治疗后可见肿瘤内血管内皮生长因子阳性细胞密度下降,随浓度增加阳性率呈下降趋势。实验组(抑胶素浓度32μg/kg)较对照组表达降低(P<0.05);实验组(抑胶素浓度64μg/kg)与对照组比较有显著性差异(P<0.01);而实验组、(抑胶素浓度分别为8μg/kg及16μg/kg)与对照组相比较,无统计学意义;而顺铂组瘤体内VEGF与实验组比较无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论抑胶素对肿瘤细胞的抑制作用可能通过血管内皮生长因子而起作用,但这种抑制作用与抑胶素本身的浓度有关,高浓度抑胶素抑制作用强。     

Leptomeninges as a site of relapse in locally controlled,diffuse pontine glioma with review of literature

Case report Leptomeningeal involvement in diffuse intrinsic brain stem gliomas is rarely diagnosed clinically and in majority of the instances diagnosed only on postmortem examination. We report two cases of diffuse pontine glioma diagnosed clinicoradiologically and treated with conventional radiotherapy.Observations On follow-up, both patients showed clinical features suggestive of meningeal spread although imaging for pontine tumor showed stable disease. Leptomeningeal disease in the spine was confirmed on imaging and in one case by cerebrospinal fluid examination also. During the follow-up of patients with pontine glioma, the possibility of leptomeningeal involvement must be borne in mind.

Concurrent oral and genital infection with HPV DNA types 6 and 11 in a heterosexual male

Objective Detection of HPV DNA in oral and genital lesions of a heterosexual male. 4 months after oral and vaginal intercourse with a woman with vulvar warts. Passible modes of acquisition of oral HPV infection in the male sexual partner are discussed. Setting Genitourinary Medicine clinic. Methods Polymerase chain reaction amplification of genomic DNA from oral and genital lesions. HPV DNA typing by dot blot hybridization. Results HPV DNA types 6 and 11 were identified in a polypoid tongue lesion and in a penile wart from the male sexual partner. Conclusions The acquisition of oral HPV infection in the male sexual partner may have resulted from genital-oral HPV transfer, either by direct contact with vulvar warts or by digital self-inoculation.     

Differentiation of human epidermal stem cells into fibroblasts induced by TGF-β1 in vitro

Objective To investigate the correlation between human epidermal stem cell (hESCs) and hypertrophic scar or keloid. Methods Improved collagen Ⅳ-coated adhesion methods was used to isolate and culture the epidermal stem cells after neutral protease selectively digested the dermo-epidermal junctions. After the cells were cultured and expanded in vitro, and passage 3 hESCs were induced by different concentrations of TGF-β1 (0.1, 5.0, and 10.0 ng/ml). Morphological fea-tures and identification of these cells were meseasured by HE, Masson, immunohistochemical staining on the days 3 and 7, respectively. Results After induced by TGF-β1 for 3 and 7 days, the morpholo-gy of the epidermal stem cell (hESCs) was changed into fusiform shape, similar to fibroblasts. 70 % ofthe cell which was induced by TGF-β1 were blue stained in the cytoplasm by Masson stain, which is the distinctive method for collagen, suggesting collagen appeared or increased in the cells. The collagen concentrations in supernatants of hESCs were 0.4150±0.0014, 0.3380±0. 0020, and 0.3870±0.0020, much higher than that in control group (0.0780±0.0025) and normal skin fibro-blast group (0.15004±0.0051) (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining revealed that positive rates of these cells for anti-vimentin staining were more than (95.00±1.20)% in experiments and (5.70±0.20)% in control group. Conclusion The differentiantion of hESCs induced by TGF-β1 into fibro-blasts indicates that hESCs may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypetrophic scar and keloid.

Overexpression of the 18A2/mts1 gene and down–regulation of the TIMP–2 gene in invasive human glioma cell lines in vitro

Invasion of the reconstituted extracellular matrix composite, Matrigel, by eight human glioma–derived cell lines and human fetal brain cells was assessed in vitro using 8 um polycarbonate filters in a modified Boyden migration chamber. With the exception of one low grade glioma derived cell line, all lines studied proved to be invasive while normal fetal brain cells failed to invade. This invasive potential was independent of the histological grade of the tumour from which the cell lines originated. In addition, the expression of the metastasis–associated gene 18A2lmts1 as well as the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases–2 (TIMP–2) was analysed in each of the glioma–derived cell lines. The 18A2/mtsl was expressed in all the cells studied with the exception of fetal brain cells and the low grade non–invasive glioma derived IPRK–7 cell line. The 18A2/mtsl related genes coding for the S100 subfamily of calcium binding proteins were found to be differentially and overexpressed in invasive cell lines. TIMP–2 was expressed only in noninvasive cell lines. These results suggest that the 18A2/ mtsl and TIMP–2 genes could play an important role in the invasive behaviour of human glioma cells in vitro. .     

Analysis of saccadic short-term plasticity in three dimensions

The capacity for short-term adaptation is a well-established property of the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) components of saccades. It allows these directional components, which clearly serve the goal of foveation, to maintain their precision even under changing circumstances. Torsional (T) saccade components, on the other hand, which deal with the orientation of the target on the fovea, have hardly been investigated in adaptation experiments. They appear to be severely restricted by Listing's law during fixations and saccades. The main purpose of Listing's law is far from obvious but could be visual or oculomotor. Better knowledge of the adaptive capacity of the saccadic system in the torsional direction could throw new light on the functional significance of this interesting neural strategy. To study short-term plasticity in the torsional components of saccades, binocular 3D-eye positions were measured, using magnetic search foils. Five normal human subjects were instructed to make uni-directional refixation saccades, while they viewed a large visual scene. To induce a change in the torsional component, the complete stimulus was rapidly rotated during these saccades. We thoroughly investigated the torsional responses of the saccadic system, to see if any short-term adaptive response in torsional direction was induced, in which case the notion of a visual purpose for Listing's law would be strengthened. In none of our experiments, however, did we find any clear adaptive response in torsional direction. To further investigate the reliability of this result and to ascertain that our experimental conditions allowed classical gain adaptation, we also did experiments designed to achieve a combination of torsional adaptation and classic gain shortening in one of the directional components. While gain adaptation was very obvious, none of the experiments provided evidence for a short-term effect in torsion. We conclude that our experiments do not support a purely visual basis for Listing's law.
