生殖激素检测在男性不育症诊断中的意义

本文报道了我院对３１５例男性不育症患者在第一次就诊时进行血清生殖激素ＦＳＨ、ＬＨ、Ｔ、ＰＲＬ、Ｅ２水平的检测，并进行详细的病史询问、常规体检和精液分析等检查。结果显示血清Ｔ值在不同的精子密度层次的男性不育症患者均呈正态分布。睾丸容积减少，ＦＳＨ、ＬＨ上升，Ｔ／ＬＨ下降，提示睾丸功能损害，并且Ｔ／ＬＨ的比值更能反映间质细胞的功能。血清ＰＲＬ和Ｅ２值在诊断高催乳素血症不育有意义，但在男性生育者和不生育者之间无明显差别。而且ＦＳＨ值在鉴别睾丸原发性与梗阻性无精子症是一项重要指标。作者讨论了血清生殖激素测定在不育症诊断中、在判定睾丸功能的损害程度中的意义。     

运动训练对雄性大鼠垂体─性腺轴功能的影响

本研究通过使用自己制造的大鼠流动水游泳池，对雄性大鼠进行了６周递增负荷的游泳训练，以此来探讨运动训练对大鼠垂体－性腺轴功能的影响，结果显示：与安静对照大鼠相比，训练大鼠的一般状态较差，血清睾酮水平显著降低（Ｐ＜０．０５），血清睾酮／皮质酮比值平均降低了３０％以上；而血清ＬＨ和ＦＳＨ水平未见明显变化。通过对大鼠睾丸组织ＬＨ／ＣＧ受体的测定，显示运动训练虽未引起其最大结合量的改变，却能使其解离常数显著升高（Ｐ＜０．０５）。提示此种训练可能通过降低睾丸ＬＨ／ＣＧ受体对垂体分泌ＬＨ的亲和力，从而影响睾酮的合成。     

Specific response to adrenaline in arterial hypertension induced by exogenous calcium deficiency

Injection of a synthetic analog of parathyroid hypertensive factor to WKY rats considerably increases and prolongs pressor response to adrenaline. Synthetic analog injected after adrenaline induces a short-term (3–4 min) and potent (to 250%) rise of arterial pressure. Each subsequent injection of the synthetic analog induces a less pronounced in the amplitude and duration pressor response. The α-adrenoblocker phentolamine completely abolishes the effects of the parathyroid hypertensive factor analog.

食道癌贲门癌患者术前术后的甲状腺激素的变化及临床意义

本文总结了30例食道癌贲门癌患者术前术后的甲状腺激素水平监测结果,并将对照组与术前患者的甲 状腺激素对比和术前术后患者的甲状腺激素水平对比,前者结果为:T_3、T_4均降低,rT_3值升高;后者结果是:术后T_3降低,rT_3升高,T_4、TSH变化无显著性.因此,作者认为食道癌贲门癌患者手术前后的甲状腺激素的变化,可作为判断病情、疗效、治疗方案是否合理及估计预后的辅助指标.     

白术茯苓汤及其配伍对脾虚大鼠胃肠激素的影响

目的：探讨益气健脾方剂治疗脾虚证的配伍规律。方法：采用苦寒泻下法复制大鼠脾虚模型，运用放射免疫分析法（RIA）检测白术茯苓汤及其与补气药。行气药及除湿药的不同配伍对脾虚大鼠胃泌素（GAS）、胃动素（MTL）及血管活性肠肽（VIP）的含量影响。结果：与正常对照组比较，脾虚模型大鼠GAS、MTL降低（P＜0．01），VIP升高（P＜0．01）；与自然恢复组比较，各治疗组以上部分或全部指标均有不同程度的改善，其中，以综合配伍组改善作用最优。结论：白术茯苓汤的脾虚大鼠胃肠激素的紊乱的某些指标，有一定的改善作用，综合配合组以上指标的改善，优于白术茯苓汤组及其余各配伍组，说明中医关于复方配伍的理论与实践，有其科学价值。

Raised intracranial pressure,the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion,and arginine vasopressin in tuberculous meningitis

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitored shortly after admission over a period of 1 h in 31 children with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) was significantly higher (median 22.5 mm Hg, range 8.4–50.9 mmHg) in 19 children with laboratory evidence of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) than in 12 children without such evidence (median 16.2 mmHg, range 5.8–42.5 mmHg; P = 0.027). Neither plasma nor cerebrospinal fluid arginine vasopressin (AVP) was related to ICP (r = 0.33 and 0.13 respectively). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured in 23 children and a moderate correlation was found with plasma AVP (r = 0.62; P = 0.0019). In TBM, plasma AVP may be secreted as a response to raised ICP in an effort to raise MAP and maintain cerebral perfusion pressure. In this setting excess fluid may be inappropriately retained, leading to hyponatremia and hypo-osmolemia.     

Neuronal projections to the medial preoptic area of the sheep,with special reference to monoaminergic afferents: Immunohistochemical and retrograde tract tracing studies

The preoptic area contains most of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone immunoreactive neurons and numerous monoaminergic afferents whose cell origins are unknown in sheep. Using tract tracing methods with a specific retrograde fluorescent tracer, fluorogold, we examined the cells of origin of afferents to the medial preoptic area in sheep. Among the retrogradely labeled neurons, immunohistochemistry for tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine-β-hydroxylase, phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, and serotonin was used to characterize catecholamine and serotonin fluorogold labeled neurons. Most of the afferents came from the ipsilateral side to the injection site. It was observed that the medial preoptic area received major inputs from the diagonal band of Broca, the lateral septum, the thalamic paraventricular nucleus, the lateral hypothalamus, the area dorsolateral to the third ventricle, the perimamillary area, the amygdala, and the ventral part of the hippocampus. Other numerous, scattered, retrogradely labeled neurons were observed in the ventral part of the preoptic area, the vascular organ of the lamina terminalis, the ventromedial part of the hypothalamus, the periventricular area, the area lateral to the interpeduncular nucleus, and the dorsal vagal complex. Noradrenergic afferents came from the complex of the locus coeruleus (A6/A7 groups) and from the ventro-lateral medulla (group A1). However, dopaminergic and adrenergic neuronal groups retrogradely labeled with fluorogold were not observed. Serotoninergic fluorogold labeled neurons belonged to the medial raphe nucleus (B8, B5) and to the serotoninergic group situated lateral to the interpeduncular nucleus (S4). In the light of these anatomical data we hypothesize that these afferents have a role in the regulation of several functions of the preoptic area, particularly those related to reproduction. Accordingly these afferents could be involved in the control of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) pulsatility or of preovulatory LHRH surge.     

Post-translational processing of thyrotropin-releasing hormone precursor in rat brain: identification of 3 novel peptides derived from pro TRH

The sequence of rat hypothalamic pro-thyrotropin releasing hormone, deduced by sequencing of cDNA, in addition to 5 TRH progenitor genitor sequences contains leader, trailer and 4 intervening sequences separated by paired basic amino acid sequences. We have developed radioimmunoassays to synthetic peptides corresponding to portions of these cryptic proTRH sequences and have used these assays to identify and partially characterize proTRH peptides, distinct from TRH, in extracts of rat brain. Two of these peptides correspond closely in size to one intervening sequence and the car☐y-terminal sequence of proTRH. Three other peptides correspond to the intact amino-terminal leader sequence and two peptides formed by a further cleavage of the leader sequence at an internal paired basic amino acid sequence.
