目的分析慢性乙型病毒性肝炎患者外周血T淋巴细胞亚群CD27和CD28的表达,初步探讨其分化表型。方法采集分离健康人和慢性乙型病毒性肝炎患者外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),利用多种荧光标记抗体标记细胞表面分子,再用流式细胞仪检测CD8 和CD4 T淋巴细胞表面CD27和CD28分子的表达。结果31例慢性乙型病毒性肝炎患者CD8 CD27 CD28 T细胞占CD8 T细胞(41.13±24.89)%,低于28例健康对照组的(71.93±14.47)%(P<0.05)。而CD8 CD27-CD28-T细胞占CD8 T细胞(42.16±10.98)%,显著高于健康对照组的(9.16±5.24)%(P<0.01)。慢性乙型病毒性肝炎患者CD4 CD27 CD28 T细胞(80.89±7.93)%和健康对照组(83.17±8.31)%比较,差异无统计学意义。结论健康人外周血T淋巴细胞以CD27 CD28 早期分化表型为主。而慢性乙型病毒性肝炎患者外周血中不同的亚群分化特征又有所不同,CD4 T淋巴细胞的分化表型仍然以CD27 CD28 早期分化表型为主,而CD8 T淋巴细胞中早期分化表型明显减少,晚期分化表型(CD27-CD28-)显著增加。     

合并乙肝的涂阳肺结核病人DOTS中肝损害观察

目的 观察免费板式组合药在DOTS中对合并乙肝的涂阳肺结核病人肝损害情况。方法 比较HBsAg、HBeAg、HBcAb阳性的涂阳肺结核病人与无乙肝的涂阳肺结核病人DOTS前后肝功能损害情况。结果 合并乙肝病人肝损害发生率66．3％，无乙肝者肝损害发生率8．6％，两者相比差异有显著性（P〈0．01）。22．5％病人因肝损害需更改治疗方案。结论 DOTS中合并乙肝的病人采用板式组合药用2H3R3Z3E3／4H3R3方案易发生肝损害，对这类病人应慎用常规方案，并要密切全程观察肝功能，尽可能应用肝损害较小的抗结核药。     

Triterpenoid saponins, new metalloprotease snake venom inhibitors isolated from Pentaclethra macroloba.

We report here the antiproteolytic and antihemorrhagic properties of triterpenoid saponin inhibitors, named macrolobin-A and B, from Pentaclethra macroloba, against Bothrops snake venoms. The inhibitors were able to neutralize the hemorrhagic, fibrin(ogen)olytic, and proteolytic activities of class P-I and P-III metalloproteases isolated from B. neuwiedi and B. jararacussu venoms. Clotting and fibrinogenolytic activities induced by snake venoms and isolated thrombin-like enzymes were partially inhibited. Furthermore, the potential use of these inhibitors to complement antivenom therapy as an alternative treatment and/or used as molecular models for development of new therapeutical agents in the treatment of snake bite envenomations needs to be evaluated in future studies.     

脂质体介导NF-κB decoy ODN对重症急性胰腺炎大鼠肺炎症因子mRNA表达和肺损伤的影响

目的 探讨脂质体（liposome）介导转录因子NF—κB诱捕物（decoy）寡聚脱氧核苷酸（oligodeoxynucleotide，ODN）对重症急性胰腺炎SD大鼠肺部NF-κB活性及受其调控炎症基因mRNA表达和肺损伤的影响。方法 以牛磺胆酸钠（STC）诱导SD大鼠建立重症急性胰腺炎模型，以假手术组为对照组，于建模后1h分别静脉注射裸ODN、脂质体／decoy ODN复合物、脂质体／scrambled ODN复合物和生理盐水，注射4h后应用电泳迁移率变动（EMSA）分析NF-κB的活性，利用逆转录-聚合酶链反应法（RT-PCR）检测肺组织ICAM-1、IL-1α、IL-2、TNF—α、VCAM-1mRNA表达，同时检测氧分压、肺组织湿／干重比率和肺组织髓过氧化物酶（MPO）。结果 EMSA显示脂质体／decoy ODN复合物组NF—κB活性明显低于生理盐水组、脂质体／scrambled ODN复合物组和裸ODN组（P〈0.05），RT—PCR显示脂质体／decoy ODN复合物组ICAM-1、IL-1α、IL-2、TNF—α、VCAM-1mRNA表达小于生理盐水组、脂质体/scrambled ODN复合物组和裸ODN组（P〈0．05）。与生理盐水组、脂质体／scrambled ODN复合物组和裸ODN组相比，脂质体／decoy ODN复合物组动脉血氧分压升高，肺组织湿／干重比率和肺组织髓过氧化物酶（MPO）活性降低（P〈0．05）、结论 NF—κB decoy ODN可特异性抑制肺NF-κB活性及其调控的炎症因子ICAM-1、IL—1α、IL-2、TNF-α、VCAM-1mRNA的表达，减轻肺损害。     

Prospective Study on Lamivudine-Resistant Hepatitis B in Renal Allograft Recipients

The natural history of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in renal transplant recipients (RTx) is unclear, despite its increasing incidence. Twenty-nine HBsAg-positive RTx with rising HBV DNA received lamivudine therapy. The course of lamivudine-resistant HBV infection was studied prospectively. During 68.7 +/- 12.5 months of follow-up, 14 (48.3%) patients developed lamivudine resistance, at 10-35 months (mean 16.9 +/- 7.0). All showed mutant sequences at codons 552 and 528 of the YMDD motif, while 13 patients demonstrated wild-type sequence at codon 555. Lamivudine resistance was unrelated to patient demographics, HBeAg status/sero-conversion, or genotype. Following resistance, HBV DNA and alanine aminotransferase showed an initial increase followed by spontaneous gradual reduction. The subsequent peak HBV DNA was lower (1.26 +/- 1.09 x 10(9) vs. 6.26 +/- 12.23 x 10(9) copies/mL, p = 0.011), while that of alanine aminotransferase was higher (196 +/- 117 vs. 77 +/- 47 imicro/l, p = 0.005), compared with pretreatment levels. Post-resistance hepatitic flare occurred in 11 (78.6%) patients. This was transient in four (36.4%), but became chronic in six (54.5%) patients. Decompensation was noted in one patient during this flare, but all survived. We conclude that drug resistance is prevalent in lamivudine-treated RTx. Despite a lower ensuing peak viremia compared with baseline, hepatitic flare is common. While most patients have spontaneous resolution, a minority may develop potentially fatal decompensation during the preceding exacerbation.     

早期大剂量维生素C对重症急性胰腺炎大鼠核因子-κB的影响

目的:观察早期大剂量应用抗坏血酸(维生素C)对重症急性胰腺炎(SAP)大鼠的核因子-!B(NF-!B)的影响,研究其作用机制。方法:将72只SAP模型SD大鼠随机分成3组,每组各24只。A组:由大鼠股静脉滴注生理盐水5 ml/kg。B组:大鼠股静脉滴注Vit C 15 mg/kg加生理盐水至5 ml/kg。C组:由大鼠股静脉滴注Vit C 150 mg/kg加生理盐水至5 ml/kg。另取8只SD大鼠作为正常对照组。各组分别于8 h和24 h处死8只大鼠,采血测淀粉酶、脂肪酶、维生素C(PV-C)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、TNF-αI、L-6。大鼠处死时分别取胰头组织3份,一份组织HE染色,行光镜检查,按Kusske的方法,对水肿、炎症、出血和坏死分别评分;一份制成超薄切片,行电镜检查;另一份SP法进行免疫组化染色,检测NF-!B的表达。每组另外8只大鼠观察3 d内存活情况,计算3 d成活率。结果:各组大鼠3 d内的生存率为正常对照组100%(8/8),A组0%(0/8),B组12.5%(1/8),C组50%(4/8),C组的3 d生存率显著高于其他两组(P<0.05)。各组的4项病理学评分均高于正常对照组(P<0.01),C组的4项病理学评分均低于A、B组(P<0.05)。透射电镜检查示C组中分泌颗粒较少,其包膜完整、内质网轻度肿胀、线粒体清晰,未见大片坏死。SAP大鼠体内淀粉酶、脂肪酶、细胞因子TNF-α和IL-6的水平明显增高,血清SOD和P-VC降低,胰腺组织中NF-!B活化阳性胰腺细胞数明显增多。C组的血清淀粉酶和脂肪酶低于A、B组(P<0.05),SOD和P-VC水平高于A、B组(P<0.05),血清TNF-αI、L-6水平低于A、B组(P<0.05),胰腺组织NF-!B活化水平低于A、B组(P<0.05)。结论:早期大剂量应用Vit C有助于及时提高SAP大鼠的P-VC、E-SOD水平,降低体内淀粉酶、脂肪酶、TNF-αI、L-6水平,其作用机制可能与大剂量Vit C抑制SAP大鼠体内NF-!B活化、在整体水平上抑制细胞因子基因表达、有助于机体免受自由基和过量细胞因子的损伤及减轻胰腺组织的病理性改变等因素有关。     

Characterization of peptide components in the venom of the scorpion Liocheles australasiae (Hemiscorpiidae).

Scorpion venoms are composed of a number of neurotoxic peptides. A variety of toxins have been isolated from the venoms of scorpions of the family Buthidae, however, little interest has been paid to non-Buthidae scorpions. In this study, we examined the toxicity of the venom of Liocheles australasiae (Hemiscorpiidae) to mice and crickets, and characterized the peptide components by HPLC and mass spectrometry. Over 200 components were detected in the L. australasiae venom by LC/MS analysis, with components of molecular masses ranging from 500 to 5000 Da being particularly abundant. A number of peptides contained two to four disulfide bridges, which was estimated based on the mass difference after derivatization of Cys residues. A peptide having a monoisotopic molecular mass of 7781.6 Da and four disulfide bridges was isolated from the venom. The peptide has a primary structure similar in terms of the position of eight Cys residues to those observed in several peptides found from scorpions, ticks and insects, although biological roles of these peptides are unknown.
