卵巢癌血管生成的多样性

新血管生成在个体发育、创伤愈合等过程中起着至关重要的作用,也是肿瘤生存、转移、复发的组织基础[1].研究表明,少数极恶性肿瘤存在血管生成(angiogenesis)、血管形成(vasculogenesis)和血管生成拟态(vasculogenic mimicry)等方式,多种血管新生方式与肿瘤的转移、复发等恶性生物行为密切相关.卵巢癌的死亡率在女性生殖道癌瘤中居首位,患者5年生存率长期徘徊在30%左右,最新研究证实,卵巢恶性肿瘤血管生成具有多样性,本文将就卵巢癌不同血管生成方式的研究进展及其与卵巢恶性生物学行为的关系进行综述.     

A Parametric Approach to Measuring Cerebral Blood Flow Autoregulation from Spontaneous Variations in Blood Pressure

Autoregulation maintains cerebral blood flow (CBF) almost constant in the face of changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP). Tests for impairment of this process using only spontaneous fluctuations in ABP, without provoking large variations, are of great clinical interest, and a range of different approaches have previously been applied. Extending earlier work based on linear filters, we propose a simple parametric method using a first order finite impulse response filter. We evaluate the method on ABP and CBF velocity [(CBFV), from trancranial Doppler ultrasound] signals collected in 60 patients with stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries. Data were collected during the inspiration of ambient air, a 5% CO2/air mixture, and finally the return to ambient air. Equivalent data were collected in 15 normal subjects. The filters estimated from the data segments with constant inspiratory pCO2 showed the expected high-pass characteristic, which was reduced during hypercapnia and also in patients. Highly significant correlation between the filter parameters and cerebrovascular reactivity (percent increase in CBFV per unit change in end-tidal pCO2) gives further evidence that the filters reflect autoregulation. The method allows simple parametrization of the dynamic autoregulatory responses in CBFV, and the analysis of short (1 min) data segments. © 2001 Biomedical Engineering Society.

卵巢癌细胞株冻融抗原负载的树突状细胞诱导CTL抗卵巢癌免疫应答的体外研究

目的研究卵巢癌冻融抗原负载的树突状细胞(dendriticcells,DC)诱导细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)体外杀伤卵巢癌细胞的细胞毒性效应。方法利用免疫磁珠分离法(MACS)分离纯化脐血CD34 细胞并在体外诱导分化为DC,用反复冻融法从卵巢癌细胞系SKOV3中提取的可溶性相关抗原负载DC。流式细胞学检测负载抗原后DC表面各种分化相关抗原的表达,ELISA法检测DC上清中IL12的表达,混合淋巴细胞反应(MLR)测定DC体外刺激T细胞增殖的能力,MTT法检测抗原负载DC激活的抗原特异性CTL对卵巢癌细胞的杀伤作用。结果与未经抗原负载的DC相比,经卵巢癌抗原负载的DC不仅能更高地表达各种DC分化相关抗原CD1α(73.35%±2.94%vs34.1%±2.35%)、CD83(73.9%±8.46%vs54.68%±3.26%)、CD80(91.95%±2.48%vs52.53%±3.18%)、HLADR(70.05%±2.35%vs48.7%±2.07%)以及CD54(88.9%±5.52%vs71.45%±2.29%),同时具有更强的刺激同种异体T淋巴细胞增殖和IL12分泌的能力(P均<0.05)。此外,卵巢癌细胞SKOV3冻融抗原负载DC激活的CTL在体外对SKOV3的杀伤率为77.35%,显著高于未经抗原负载的DC(P=0.0001)。结论经卵巢癌细胞冻融抗原负载DC激活的CTL在体外具有更强的增殖能力和杀伤卵巢癌细胞的作用。     

Pathogenesis of the low cardiac output syndrome in postresuscitation states

Acute hypervolemia induced in experiments on dogs by infusion of dextran, did not produce decompensation of the circulation in animals whose cardiac output was sharply depressed in the postresuscitation period after circulatory arrest lasting 15 min. The increase in the venous return and change in the conditions of the peripheral circulation as a result of dextran administration temporarily increased the central venous pressure, caused a lasting increase in the arterial pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, work of the left ventricle, and total oxygen consumption by the body, and lowered the peripheral vascular resistance. In model experiments on dogs subjected to isolated compression ischemia of the brain for 20 min, a low cardiac output syndrome also developed.Presented by Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR N.

Changes in Hemodynamics and Respiration in Rats with Different Resistance to Acute Hypoxia

Effects of acute hypoxia on hemodynamics and respiration were studied in acute experiments on narcotized rats. The animals were divided into groups characterized by high, low-, and medium- resistance to hypoxia by the time of respiration arrest during inhalation of gas mixture containing 3% O2. Hemodynamic parameters of highly resistant animals were higher than in low-resistant rats throughout the entire hypoxic period. The development of a rare (with prolonged inspiratory phase) respiratory rhythm in highly resistant rats is an adaptive reaction, which allows them longer tolerate hypoxia compared to low-resistant animals.     

Development of patient derived organoids for cancer drug screening applications

Cancer is a disease characterised by abnormal cell growth that can invade or spread to other regions of the body. Organoids are three-dimensional ex vivo tissue cultures made from embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, progenitor cells or tissue that serve as a physiological model for cancer research. These are designed to recapitulate the in vivo properties of tumours. Importantly, effective recapitulation of the structure of tissues and function is believed to predict patient response, allowing for the creation of personalised therapy in a timely manner that may be used in the clinic. This Review discusses the pre-clinical model and different types of human organoids as models for the development of high throughput drug screening and also aims to highlight how organoids are shaping the future of cancer research.     

Ultrastructure of a virilizing ovarian Leydig-cell-tumor

Summary A case of virilizing ovarian hilus cell tumor (Leydig-cell tumor) in a 37 year old female was studied by light and electron microscopy. The ultrastructural features of this rare and almost allways benign tumor are compared with those reported in the literature and with findings in normal and neoplastic interstitial cells of the testis. Tubulovesicular hyperplasia and formation of whorl structures of the endoplasmatic reticulum together with the presence of exocytosis vesicles on the cell surface may be the morphological manifestation of endocrine activity of the tumor. The identity of ultrastructural and optical diffraction characteristics of the crystal inclusions in both cells (hilar and testicular interstitial) favours the assumption of an homology of both cells and their neoplasms.
