Antibodies against saline-soluble components of skeletal muscle in myasthenia gravis

Summary Antibodies against phosphate-buffered-saline extracts (SE) of non-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) skeletal muscle antigens were found in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). The antigenicity of SE was distributed in three fractions with molecular masses of over 200 kDa, 90–150 kDa and 7–14 kDa on gel filtration. These fractions shared common antigenicities. Further analysis of 90–150 kDa fractions on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed five major bands, ranging from 105 kDa to 275 kDa. The antibodies against SE were detected in 52% (58/112) of the MG patients; incidence and titres were higher in the thymoma group (n=21; 90% and 0.872 respectively) than in the non-thymoma group (n=91; 43% and 0.200, P<0.001). In patients without a thymoma, these antibodies were frequently observed in late-onset disease and the severe generalized form (P<0.01). In 4 of 7 ocular MG patients without anti-AChR antibodies, low but appreciable levels of anti-SE antibodies were found. In 73% (11/15) of generalized MG patients treated with prednisolone and thymectomy, anti-SE antibody titres changed in association with those of anti-AChR antibodies and with the clinical course. Both antibody titres increased synchronously in patients who developed crises.     

Immunotherapy of tree pollen allergy with a modified alginate conjugated birch pollen extract compared to an aluminium adsorbed extract

The safety and efficacy of two birch pollen extracts, one chemically conjugated to alginate (Anjuvac) the other adsorbed to aluminium hydroxide (Alutard), were investigated in an open multicentre comparative study of 63 birch pollen allergic patients. Both extracts decreased the nasal symptoms during the birch pollen season. The changes in specific IgE and IgG were much the same in both treatment groups. The adverse reactions recorded were mild in both groups, but more frequent in the Anjuvac group, probably because of a more aggressive dose schedule though there were twice as many asthmatics in the Anjuvac group. The two investigated allergen extracts were useful alternatives for immunotherapy.     

宽叶缬草提取物对戊四氮诱导慢性癫癎大鼠行为及脑电的影响

目的:探讨宽叶缬草提取物(VOL)对戊四氮(PTZ)致癫大鼠模型的脑电和行为变化的影响.方法:用PTZ 37.5mg/kg腹腔注射Wistar大鼠28天建立慢性癫癎模型,同时胃管分组给予VOL 500 mg/kg、1 000 mg/kg、1 500 mg/kg,每天三次,观察大鼠行为及脑电变化.结果:PTZ致癫癎大鼠在28天时87%为重度发作,脑电发作潜伏期及癎波密度分别为4.01±1.70 min,145.75±19.84个/min ,应用三种不同剂量的VOL治疗三周后大鼠癫癎发作程度明显减轻,脑电发作潜伏期延长,分别为7.36±2.18 min、9.42±2.05 min、11.19±1.95 min,癎波密度减少与PTZ模型对照组比较,P<0.05;且高剂量组更明显.结论:VOL能有效对抗PTZ的点燃作用,且有剂量依赖性,在第3周时才开始显效.     

中药芦笋促T细胞有丝分裂活性的观察

低浓度芦笋原汁(0.1～1.0％)可明显促进正常小鼠胸腺细胞的增殖,也可刺激正常小鼠脾脏细胞的增殖,但对裸鼠脾脏细胞没有任何作用。由此提示,芦笋具有促T淋巴细胞有丝分裂的活性,而对B淋巴细胞没有作用。与常用的T细胞促有丝分裂素植物血凝素(PHA)及刀豆蛋白A(ConA)不同,芦笋原汁对人、绵羊、豚鼠和鸡的红细胞均无凝集作用。     

Recurrent pericarditis: a rare complication of allergen immunotherapy

We report on a 29-year-old woman suffering from hay fever due to grass and olive tree pollens. She developed recurrent pericarditis during her first course of immunotherapy with an alum-adsorbed pollen extract. A causal relationship was established between the allergen injections and the acute pericarditis episodes on two consecutive occasions, which presented with blood eosinophilia. Blood cultures and serological tests for microorganisms were negative. There were no signs of autoimmune disease or systemic vasculitis. To the best of our knowledge, allergen immunotherapy-induced pericarditis has not been previously reported.     

Observations on the process of degeneration of the afferent connections to the sensori-motor cortex of the monkey.

The ultrastructural features of degeneration of the afferent connections to the sensorimotor cortex of the primate have been studied with the electron microscope. Thalamo-cortical terminals show cytoplasmic darkening and swelling of vesicles, and neurofilaments and glycogen are often prominent in the larger terminals, although true neurofilamentous hypertrophy is rare. The terminals of the commissural and association projections similarly show darkening and some swelling of vesicles but are usually smaller and neurofilaments and glycogen are rarely seen. Ethanolic-phosphotungstic acid specifically stains degenerating axons and axon terminals. Degeneration occurs more rapidly in the terminals of the association projections than in those of the longer commissural projection although terminals at different stages of degeneration are present simultaneously in both instances. Micropinocytosis of degenerating terminals has been found and both glial and neuronal profiles are involved in this. Exposed post-synaptic thickenings have been seen and these induce subsurface cisternae in the neuronal structures to which they become apposed, including axon initial segments and unmyelinated axons.Damage to a part of the central nervous system thus causes consequential changes in other regions, and these changes are relevant to the interpretation of experimental studies and to the possibility of reorganization of connections following injury.     

大鼠心肌匀浆上清液对骨髓间质干细胞诱导分化的影响

目的：探讨心肌匀浆上清液对大鼠骨髓间质干细胞（MSCs）诱导分化的影响。 方法： 体外分离培养大鼠MSCs，检测纯度。于原代培养第3 d加入自体心肌匀浆上清液持续作用1周。3周后，观察细胞形态，采用免疫细胞化学检测肌球蛋白重链和心肌特异性肌钙蛋白-T，RT-PCR方法检测Nkx2.5、α-MHC和ANP基因的表达。 结果： 大鼠MSCs经诱导后，表达肌球蛋白重链、心肌特异性肌钙蛋白-T和Nkx2.5、α-MHC基因，但未表达ANP基因，也未观察到肌管和闰盘样结构。 结论： 心肌匀浆上清液对MSCs具有定向诱导分化作用，但诱导不完全，具体机制仍需深入研究。
