HBV-M定量检测与HBV-DNA含量水平关系的初步探讨

目的 研究乙型肝炎病毒标志物定量检测结果与其HBV-DNA含量的临床关系。方法 采用时间分辨免疫定量和荧光定量-PCR技术，对HBV-DNA和HBV-DNA含量进行检测。结果 在HBsAg/HBeAg/HBcAb,HBsAg/HBcAb/HBcAb,HBeAg/IC及单纯HBcAb阳性的四个组别中，HBV-DNA阳性率分别是97.17%、30.56%、100%和25%；在HBsAg,HBeAg,HBeAb,HBcAb定量检测高，低值两组HBV-DNA含量对比中，HBV-DNA阳性率分别为76.92%、58.14%；100%、97.26%；20.00%、11.42%；64.62%、27.63%。结论 HBV-DNV比HBV-M更能及时准确反映乙型肝炎病毒感染者的病程情况。     

彩色多普勒在心脏起搏器综合征诊断中的应用价值

目的 :探讨运用彩色多普勒血流显像 (CDFI)并结合心电图 (ECG)诊断起搏器综合征 (PMS)的临床价值。方法 :对具有详实临床及ECG资料的心室按需 (VVI)起搏器安置患者 6 0例及对照组 4 8例进行CDEI检查 ,观察起搏组与对照组的三尖瓣返流 (TR)的发生率、返流程度 ,并分析二者之间的相关性。结果 :起搏组出现逆传P波 (即PMS阳性 )者 15例 ,CDFI检测出现TR者 2 0例 ,明显高于对照组 ,且PMS阳性者TR发生率明显高于PMS阴性者 ,表明安置VVI起搏器后出现逆传P波与TR的发生相关性良好。结论 :CDFI对PMS的诊断具有重要意义 ,尤其将ECG与CDFI结合应用有助于诊断率的提高。     

No evidence for an altered mRNA expression or protein level of haematopoietic cell phosphatase in CD34+ bone marrow progenitor cells or mature peripheral blood cells in polycythaemia vera

Abstract: Polycythaemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by haematopoietic progenitor cells being hypersensitive to cytokines such as erythropoietin, interleukin-3, stem cell factor and insulin-like growth factor 1, which results in an increased production of mature blood cells. The pathogenetic cellular mechanism(s) behind this hypersensitivity to cytokines is unknown, but the number of cytokine receptors and the interaction between ligand and receptor are normal in PV. Interest has therefore focused on post-receptor mechanism(s). Haematopoietic cell phosphatase (HCP) is an intracellular tyrosine phosphatase that has been demonstrated to regulate proliferative signals negatively induced by the cytokines mentioned above. Moreover, motheaten mice that genetically lack HCP have an increased amount of erythroid progenitors that are hypersensitive to Epo, and patients with familial polycythaemia have been shown to exhibit a mutation of the Epo receptor gene that includes the docking site for HCP. We therefore studied mRNA expression of HCP in pure populations of CD34⁺ cells, granulocytes, platelets and lymphocytes from patients with PV, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) or essential thrombocythemia (ET), as well as healthy controls. Using a polymerase chain reaction analysis employing specific primers for HCP, we failed to detect any abnormalities of HCP expression in PV in any of the cell populations that were examined. Moreover, HCP mRNA expression was similar in ET and CML compared to controls. Finally, Western blot analysis revealed a normal HCP protein content in PV granulocytes and platelets. We therefore conclude that neither an impaired expression of the HCP gene nor a defect in HCP protein synthesis is present in PV, and does not seem to play a role in the aetiology of this disorder.     

p38丝裂原激活蛋白激酶对人胚胎肾293细胞一氧化氮合酶基因转录的调控

目的探讨p38 丝裂原激活蛋白激酶(MAPK)家族四种亚型对诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)基因的转录调控。方法以人胚胎肾293(HEK 293)细胞为靶细胞,采用脂质体(LPS)介导的细胞基因共转染技术、荧光素酶报告基因技术,分别将FLAG-tagged p38 MAPK 4种亚型、含有鼠iNOS基因启动子区的荧光素酶报告基因质粒(piNOS-Luc)、空载体(pcDNA3)、β-半乳糖苷酶表达质粒(pCMV-β)共转染,检测并比较荧光素酶相对活性。结果(1)未加刺激时,在HEK 293细胞中,p38 MAPK中仅有p38α能够诱导iNOS基因启动子的转录活性;(2)在LPS刺激下,p38 MAPK 4种亚型均能够诱导iNOS启动子的转录活性,其中,p38β所诱导的转录活性最高,p38α的诱导作用亦很明显。结论(1)LPS能够在HEK 293细胞中诱导iNOS基因转录活性;(2)在HEK 293细胞中,p38 MAPK参与了静息时及LPS刺激下对iN-OS基因的转录调控。     

子宫内膜癌组织中p16 mRNA及P16蛋白的表达
