血钙水平与肾癌肿瘤大小、分期的相关性分析

目的分析肾细胞癌患者血钙水平和肿瘤大小与分期的相关性，从而进一步发现与病情相关的规律和了解病情。方法按照血钙水平将肿瘤大小／分期相应地分3组，即降低、正常和升高各3组。利用SPSS10．0软件，对3组不同的肿瘤大小／分期病例进行差异性分析和相关性研究。结果3组不同的肿瘤大小差异性分析（Kruskal-wallisH）显示，X^2=4．768，df=2，P=0．092；Spearman相关分析显示相关系数为．0．166，P=0．029。3组不同的肿瘤分期差异性分析（Kruskal-Wallis H）显示，X^2=4、277，df=2，P=0．118；Spearman相关系数为．0．157，P=-0．039。结论3组不同的肿瘤大小之间差异性无统计学意义，血钙水平与肿瘤大小间存在负相关；3组不同的肿瘤分期之间差异性无统计学意义，血钙水平与肿瘤分期间存在负相关。     

Measurement of free and total hydroxyproline by automated flow injection of serum or urine samples from maintenance hemodialysis patients with renal osteodystrophy

An automated measurement of total and free hydroxyproline in serum or urine is presented that uses flow injection analysis. After exclusion of nonspecific substances, hydroxyproline was oxidized by chloramine- T and L-cysteine with Ehrlich's reagent. The linearity obtained was from 3.8μmole/ L to 1.22 mmole/L with good precision (CV <3%). Comparison of the proposed method with HPLC yielded r = 0.939 as the correlation coefficient. Reference intervals of free and total hydroxyproline are 1.4–9.7 μmole/L, 3.8–27.2 μmole/L for serum, and 10.0–72.5 μmole/L, 25.2–303.6 μmole/L for urine, respectively. Serum free and total hydroxyproline levels in renal osteodystrophy patients on maintenance hemodialysis (N = 71) were significantly higher than in controls (P<0.0001). This method is superior to the use of HPLC with regard to stability of the color reaction. The measurement of serum free and total hydroxyproline is a useful marker for therapeutic observation of renal osteodystrophy patients. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

血清睾酮与妊高征发病相关性研究

目的:测定妊高征患者血清睾酮水平并探讨其临床意义。方法:采用放射免疫分析法测定妊高征患者30例、正常孕妇20例血清及其新生儿脐血睾酮水平。结果:妊高征患者血清睾酮水平(0.153±0.078nmol/L)明显高于正常孕妇组(0.023±0.015nmol/L),有显著性差异(P<0.001)。妊高征组脐血睾酮水平(0.052±0.041nmol/L)低于正常孕妇组(0.119±0.059nmol/L),有显著性差异(P<0.05),两组睾酮水平与新生儿性别无关(P>0.05)。结论:孕妇血清睾酮在妊高征的病理生理中起调节或加强作用。     

高脂血清对人内皮细胞前列环素、脂质过氧化物的影响及维生素E的保护作用

实验比较了高脂兔血清（ＨＲＳ）和正常兔血清（ＮＲＳ）对培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞（ＥＣ）脂质过氧化物（ＬＰＯ）的形成和ＥＣ利用外源性花生四烯酸（ＡＡ）合成前列环素（ＰＧＩ２）能力的影响；同时观察了抗氧化剂ＶｉｔＥ对ＥＣ的保护作用。结果表明，ＨＲＳ对ＥＣ合成ＰＧＩ２的影响有一时间和浓度相关的反应过程。用ＨＲＳ孵育培养呈融合状的ＥＣ，在４８ｈ前刺激ＰＧＩ２的产生，４８ｈ达最高值，然后急骤下降；而ＬＰＯ含量随着孵育时间的延长呈直线上升（ｒ＝０．９８７）。随着ＨＲＳ浓度的增加，ＬＰＯ含量逐渐升高，ＥＣ合成ＰＧＩ２能力呈下降趋势。ＶｉｔＥ可阻止ＨＲＳ引起的ＥＣ中ＬＰＯ含量的增加和ＰＧＩ２合成能力的下降。     

Day-to-day variations in serum iron,serum iron binding capacity,serum ferritin and erythrocyte protoporphyrin concentrations in anaemic subjects

Day-to-day variations in serum iron, serum iron binding capacity, serum ferritin and erythrocyte protoporphyrin were determined on 2 successive days in 48 patients with anaemia. The correlation coefficients between the paired determinations were 0.86, 0.89, 0.95 and 0.95, and the day-to-day coefficients of variation (in per cent) were 33, 11, 12 and 13 for serum iron, serum iron binding capacity, erythrocyte protoporphyrin and serum ferritin, respectively. Thus, in patients with anaemia, day-to-day variations in serum iron, serum iron binding capacity, erythrocyte protoporphyrin and serum ferritin are at least as high as in healthy controls. The results indicate important limitations in the use, particularly, of serum iron in the clinical investigation of anaemia.     

A case report of deficiency in an inhibitor of calcium-dependent association of protein S with C4B-binding protein suggested by a modified crossed immunoelectrophoresis

We have experienced a coagulation factor VIII-deficient patient whose plasma has normal protein S (PS) activity and masses of free PS and its bound form in complex with C4b-binding protein (C4BP). Although the patient's plasma showed a normal ratio of free PS to PS-C4BP complex in the presence of 5 mM EDTA, the plasma gave an abnormally retarding major C4BP peak together with a major PS peak in the crossed immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) in the presence of 2 mM CaCl₂. It was revealed that the major peak was formed by a mixture of PS-C4BP complex and free form. The addition of normal human plasma (NHP) to the patient's plasma inhibited the retardation of the major PS-C4BP complex. These suggest that the patient's plasma lacks some component(s) to inhibit Ca²⁺-dependent association of PS with C4BP.     

恶性血液病患者血清红细胞生成素的水平及其临床意义

目的 探讨恶性血液病患者血清红细胞生成素(Epo)的含量及其意义。方法 采用夹心酶联免疫法测定40例恶性血液病患者及18例健康人血清Epo，同时检测其血红蛋白及红细胞数。结果 恶性血液病中，急性白血病及多发性骨髓瘤的Epo较正常人明显增高(P＜0．001)，其血红蛋白值则明显低于正常人(P＜0．001)，慢性白血病及淋巴瘤的Epo也比正常人高(P分别为＜0．002及＜0．05)，但其血红蛋白值则与正常人无显著差异(P＞0．05)。各组病人血清Epo水平均与血红蛋白及红细胞数呈负相关。结论 恶性血液病血清Epo水平较对照组明显升高，并与血红蛋白及红细胞数呈负相关。除贫血、缺氧，导致体内Epo活性反馈，使患者Epo水平增高外，可能还和红系祖细胞利用Epo减少有关。rhEpo对Epo基础值不太高的某些恶性血液病伴发的贫血是一种有效的治疗措施。     

Trehalose protects against ocular surface disorders in experimental murine dry eye through suppression of apoptosis

The disaccharide trehalose is a key element involved in anhydrobiosis (the capability of surviving almost complete dehydration) in many organisms. Its presence also confers resistance to desiccation and high osmolarity in bacterial and human cells by protecting proteins and membranes from denaturation. The present study used a novel murine dry eye model induced by controlled low-humidity air velocity to determine whether topically applied trehalose could heal ocular surface epithelial disorders caused by ocular surface desiccation. In addition, the efficacy of 87.6 mM trehalose eyedrops was compared with that of 20% serum, the efficacy of which has been well documented. Mice ocular surface epithelial disorders were induced by exposure of murine eyes to continuous controlled low-humidity air velocity in an intelligently controlled environmental system (ICES) for 21 days, which accelerated the tear evaporation. The mice were then randomized into three groups: the control group received PBS (0.01M) treatment; a second group received 87.6 mM trehalose eyedrops treatment; and the third group received mice serum eyedrops treatment. Each treatment was administered as a 10 μl dose every 6 h for 14 days. The resultant changes in corneal barrier function and histopathologic examination of cornea and conjunctiva were analyzed and the level of apoptosis on the ocular surface was assessed using active caspase-3. After 14 days of treatment, the corneal fluorescein staining area, the ruffling and desquamating cells on the apical corneal epithelium, as well as the apoptotic cells on ocular surface epithelium had significantly reduced in eyes treated with trehalose compared with those treated with serum and PBS. In contrast, after 14 days of treatment, improvements in the thickness of the corneal epithelium, the squamous metaplasia in conjunctival epithelium and the number of goblet cells of the conjunctiva were less marked in eyes treated with trehalose compared with serum. These results demonstrated that trehalose could improve the appearance of ocular surface epithelial disorders due to desiccation through suppression of apoptosis. Trehalose produces some of the same responses as serum upon topical application and can maintain corneal health.
