Quantitative observation by enzyme cytochemistry of human rectal adenocarcinoma cells killed by LAK cells

Activity of succinic dehydrogenase(SDH)and acid phosphatase(AcPase)of effector-target cells during the process of LAK cells killing HR8348 cells was estimated by enzyme cyto-chemistry technique.SHD positive granules and AePase gray level were assayed with MIAS-300image analyser.The results showed:(1)After cocultivation of effector and target cells for vari-ous times,the activity of AcPase of HR8348 cells was apparently higher than that of the controlgroup,and it increased following prolonged coincubation.SDH activity of target cells increasedmarkedly within 30 and 60 rain cocultivation,but became low after 90 min treatment.(2)Ac-Pase content within LAK cells at 60,90,120,180 and 240 rain cocultivation was significantlyhigher than that of control group(P<0.01).The phenomenon of high AcPase and SDH activitywithin effector-target cells indicates that the function of the two types of cells was in an activestate.At the early stage of effector-target combining,the increase of SDH with HR8348 cellsmay be related to defensive function of the target cells.Higher AcPase activity of target cells in-dicates the activation of lysosomal enzyme which serves as the material basis for autolysis of thecells.     

肿瘤转移相关蛋白在甲状腺乳头状腺癌伴淋巴结转移组织中的原位表达研究

利用免疫组化ＡＢＣ法，研究甲状腺乳头状腺癌，甲状腺腺瘤和正常甲状腺组织中的肿瘤转移相关基因蛋白ＣＤ４４ｖ６，ＥＧＦＲ，转移抑制基因ｎｍ２３－Ｈ１和抑癌基因ｐ５３蛋白的原位表达。结果发现ＣＤ４４ｖ６和ＥＧＦＲ表达上调与肿瘤转移密切相关（Ｐ＜０．０５，Ｐ＜０．０１），而ｎｍ２３－Ｈ１的表达与肿瘤转移抑制密切相关（Ｐ＜０．０１）。这提示肿瘤转移相关基因和转移抑制基因之间的表达失衡是甲状腺乳头状腺癌易发生转移的重要原因。

温州市外来流动人口传染病的监测

目的：为了解温州市流动人口传染病的发病情况，加强这些人群的传染病防制和监测工作。方法：我们对温州市1997－2000年甲，乙类传染病报告资料进行调查，整理和分析。结果：（1）流动人口传染病年均报告发病率为44．75／10万；（2）省外流动人口传染病报告发病率（55．55／10万）高于省内（12．03／10万）；（3）流动人口传染病发病率以呼吸道，肠道，血源和性传播疾病为高，而虫媒与自然疫源性疾病和新生儿破伤风相对较低；（4）流动人口中肺结核，乙肝，甲肝和痢疾的发病率较高，其发病数均占总病数的10％以上；（5）流动人口疟疾和新生儿破伤风发病率高于当地人群，而其它传染病发病率则低于当地人群。结论：目前，流动人口传染病问题已日益突出，对社会稳定和经济发展将发生严重影响，采取合适的防制措施对控制流动人口传染病是非常迫切和必要的。     

Periodontal conditions among the middle-aged and the elderly in Hong Kong

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the periodontal conditions in 372 35–44-yr-old and 537 noninstitutionalized 65–74-yr-old Hong Kong Chinese who were examined clinically for loss of attachment, recession, probing depth, calculus, and bleeding after probing. Community Periodontal Index (CPI) data and treatment need indications were compiled from index teeth or their substitutes. The prevalence of loss of attachment varied considerably in both cohorts according to the definition of the threshold (≥6, ≥9, and ≥12 mm, respectively). The mean numbers of teeth with loss of attachment at the ≥6-mm threshold and at higher thresholds were small. In both age cohorts, about one-fifth of subjects had probing depths ≥6-mm, while al the ≥9-mm threshold only 2–3% were so affected. Although recession was an important component of loss of attachment in the younger cohort, in the older cohort the prevalence and extent of recession were greater than for probing depths at thresholds ≥4 mm. All subjects had one or more teeth with calculus, bleeding, or both, most teeth being so affected. Eighty-four of the 537 65–74-yr-old subjects were excluded either because of edentulousness or because extractions indicated for the remaining teeth would have rendered the subjects edentulous. The distribution of subjects according to their highest CPI score was remarkably similar for the two cohorts. No subjects in either age group were assessed as “healthy” (CPI code 0) or had “bleeding only” (code 1) as their highest score. While most subjects scored CPI code 2 or 3 us their highest score, only 17% of the younger and 15% of the older cohort scored Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) code 4. Differences in the mean number of sextants affected by CPI codes between the two cohorts were mainly due to a greater number of excluded sextants in the older cohort. CPI findings for 35–44-yr-olds differed little from those reported in 1984.

Quantitative study of the morphological changes in the thyroid gland following IR laser radiation

The morphological changes produced in the thyroid glands of albino rats following radiation with a 904 nm infrared laser were studied. Two different levels of radiation were applied: 46.8 J/cm² and 140.4 J/cm². Evaluation of the changes in the densities of the epithelial, colloidal and follicular volumes and of the activation index revealed that the laser beam produced changes in the thyroid parenchyma. It was observed that there was a direct relationship between the severity of the lesion and the radiation energy applied.     

Comparative effects of plateletderived growth factor-BB and insulin-like growth factor-I, individually and in combination, on periodontal regeneration in Macaca fascicularis

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in combination have previously been shown to enhance periodontal regeneration. The objective of this study was to further characterize the biological effects of this combination of growth factors in non-human primates and compare the effects to those of each growth factor individually. Ligature-induced periodontitis was initiated in 10 cynomolgus monkeys. After periodontal lesions were established, surgery was performed, and either a methylcellulose gel vehicle or vehicle containing 10 μg each of either PDGF-BB, IGF-I or both PDGF-BB and IGF-I was applied to exposed root surfaces. Biopsies were taken 4 and 12 wk after treatment and the extent of periodontal regeneration was assessed by histomorphometry. At both 4 and 12 wk vehicle-treated lesions generally revealed minimal osseous defect fill (ODF) (8.5±2.1% and 14.5±5.7%, respectively) and new attachment (NA) (34.1±5.2% and 26.6±10.5%, respectively). IGF-I treatment did not significantly alter healing compared to vehicle in any parameter at both 4 and 12 wk. PDGFBB-treated sites exhibited significant (p<0.05) regeneration of NA (69.6±12.0%) at 12 wk; trends for PDGF-BB treatment effect were also observed in other parameters at 4 and 12 wk. although these increases were not statistically significant. Treatment with PDGF-BB/IGF-I resulted in 21.6±5.1 % and 42.5±8.3% ODF at 4 and 12 wk, respectively, and 64.1±7.7% and 74.6±7.4% NA at 4 and 12 wk, respectively (all significantly greater than vehicle, p<0.05). The results from this study demonstrated that: 1) IGF-1 alone at the dose tested did not significantly alter periodontal wound healing; 2) PDGF-BB alone significantly stimulated NA, with trends of effect on other parameters; and 3) the PDGF-BB/IGF-I combination resulted in significant increases in NA and ODF above vehicle at both 4 and 12 wk.
