17β-雌二醇对子宫内膜异位症患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达的影响

目的研究17β-雌二醇(17β-E2)对子宫内膜异位症(内异症)患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达的影响,探讨Wnt/β-catenin信号通路在介导雌激素促进内异症发生发展的作用。方法体外分离培养内异症患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞。用不同浓度17β-E2处理子宫内膜间质细胞48 h;此后选用10-10mol/L 17β-E2处理子宫内膜间质细胞12、24和48 h,逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和免疫印迹法(Western blotting)检测17β-E2处理前后子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白的表达水平。同法分析雌激素受体拮抗剂ICI182,780(10-6mol/L)对17β-E2促进β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达的影响。免疫组织化学染色观察17β-E2作用后β-catenin在子宫内膜间质细胞中的定位。结果17β-E2能明显促进内异症患者在位子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白的表达,并呈剂量和时间依赖性,于10-10mol/L作用48 h最明显。雌激素受体拮抗剂ICI182,780能明显抑制17β-E2对子宫内膜间质细胞β-catenin mRNA和蛋白的表达。免疫组织化学染色发现17β-E2能促进β-catenin在子宫内膜间质细胞核内的表达。结论雌激素可能通过激活Wnt/β-catenin信号通路促进内异症在位子宫内膜的异位种植。     

男性病人冠状动脉病变与吸烟关系的研究

[目的]探讨吸烟对病人冠状动脉病变的影响。[方法]对吸烟组(5 0例)与不吸烟组(3 0例)进行冠状动脉造影,观察记录冠状动脉病变情况并进行统计学分析。[结果]两组冠状动脉病变记分、每日不同吸烟量与冠状动脉病变记分、不同的吸烟年限与冠状动脉病变记分比较均有统计学意义(P <0 .0 1)。[结论]长期吸烟可使冠状动脉病变程度加重,应加强对长期吸烟及冠状动脉介入术后病人的健康教育,有效预防和控制冠心病,提高人群的健康水平。     

Reassessment of the accuracy of traditional sperm characteristics and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in estimating the fertilizing potential of human semen in vivo

Receiver operating characteristic curves and accuracy parameters were computed for traditional sperm characteristics (concentration, motility, morphology) and the number of peroxidase negative cells, and the concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in semen from populations of fertile and infertile men, and men who achieved a pregnancy after varicocele treatment. The percentage and concentration per millilitre of spermatozoa with rapid linear progressive motility, and the ATP concentration, provided the best discrimination between fertile and treated fertile from infertile men. The misclassification rate was higher for sperm morphology, total progressive motility and viability, whereas sperm concentration and the total sperm count per ejaculate had the worst discriminating power. The number of peroxidase negative cells per 100 spermatozoa was highly specific in identifying men who achieved pregnancy after varicocele treatment. The lower limit of normality of sperm characteristics was remarkably different between fertile men and men achieving pregnancy after treatment or during infertility work-up.     

老年男性心肌缺血患者心率变异分析（附67例报告）

采用正常搏动ＲＲ间期的标准差（ＳＤ）及心率变异指数（ＨＲＶ ｉｎｄｅｘ）作为指标，分析６７例老年男性心肌缺血患者的心率变异，并与正常老年男性组及正常青壮年男性组进行了对比，发现前组的ＲＲ间期ＳＤ、ＨＲＶｉｎｄｅｘ均明显低于后两组，其结果有显著性差异（Ｐ均〈０．０１）。提示心肌缺血可破坏交感与迷走神经的均衡性，造成心率变异降低。     

Endocrinology: High incidence of embryo transfer cancellations in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome

This study was aimed at assessing the outcome of in-vitro fertilization(IVF) and embryo transfer in patients with polycystic ovariansyndrome (PCOS). The results of IVF and embryo transfer in PCOSpatients (PCOS group, 78 cycles of 26 patients) were comparedwith those of a control group (423 cycles in 202 patients withoutmale factor; age and ovarian stimulation protocol were matched).Although the pregnancy rate per transfer was not different inthe two groups of patients (25 versus 34%, PCOS versus controlgroup), the PCOS group had a significantly lower pregnancy rateper follicle aspiration (19 versus 31%, P < 0.05). A notableresult was a significantly higher incidence of embryo transfercancellations in the PCOS group (22 versus 8%, P < 0.01),which resulted from unpredictable failure of either oocyte recoveryor fertilization. The incidence of unexplained complete failureof fertilization was significantly higher in the PCOS group(18 versus 5%, P < 0.01). These results may reflect a reducedquality of the oocytes in the PCOS group, and there was a subgroupof PCOS patients who repeatedly produced poor results of treatment.Although the ovarian stimulation regimen best suited to PCOSpatients remains to be determined, special care should be takenduring ovarian stimulation, especially when the PCOS patientshad experienced unexplained failure of oocyte recovery or fertilizationin the previous treatment cycle(s).

Investigation of aneuploidy induction in mouse oocytes following exposure to vinblastine-sulfate,pyrimethamine, diethylstilbestrol diphosphate,or chloral hydrate

The various causative and mechanistic phenomena associated with aneuploidy induction require considerable investigation to better understand the etiology of chromosome missegregation. We investigated the potential of vinblastine sulfate, pyrimethamine, diethylstilbestrol diphosphate, and chloral hydrate to induce numerical and structural chromosome changes in female mouse germ cells. Superovulated ICR mice were administered the compounds either by intraperitoneal injection or oral gavage, and oocytes were collected and processed for cytogenetic analysis 17 hr later. Vinblastine sulfate, administered i.p., induced a significant increase in the frequency of ovulated Ml oocytes and of hyperploid Mll oocytes compared to controls, but did not increase the frequency of structural aberrations. Pyrimethamine, diethylstilbestrol diphosphate, and chloral hydrate did not increase the frequency of numerical or structural chromosome changes in female mouse germ cells. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Granulocyte elastase levels do not correlate with anaerobic and aerobic bacterial growth in seminal plasma from infertile men

Seminal culture and leucocyte elastase measurements were undertaken on samples from 30 men attending an infertility clinic. Elastase levels over 1000 ng ml-1 were obtained in 14 men and positive bacterial culture in 11 men, but there was no correlation between these two sets of measurements. While granulocyte elastase measurement in semen may reflect inflammation, our study suggests that it cannot be used as a simple marker of infection particularly in a population such as ours where the prevalence of prostatitis and genital infection is low.

精浆抗精子抗体阳性不育患者顶体酶、一氧化氮合酶及超氧化物歧化酶活力变化的研究

目的:研究精浆抗精子抗体(AsAb)阳性对精子顶体酶、精浆一氧化氮合酶(NOS)及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力的影响。方法:精浆AsAb阳性不育者40例,对照组为40例正常生育男性。通过吸光度变化分别计算顶体酶活力(BAEE/ADH联合法)、NOS活力(氧化还原反应)、SOD活力(黄嘌呤氧化酶法)。结果:精浆As-Ab阳性组与正常生育组比较,精子顶体酶活力明显降低(P<0.01),NOS活力明显升高(P<0.01),精浆中SOD活力明显降低(P<0.01)。结论:精浆AsAb阳性引起不育可能与精子顶体酶、精浆中SOD及NOS活力改变有关。
