Newer aspects of antiarrhythmic drug development: Introduction

Although cardiac arrhythmias remain a serious clinical problem in many patients with heart disease, the exact role of antiarrhythmic drug therapy is currently under intense evaluation. Within the last several years it has become clear that there are significant risks as well as potential benefits associated with existing agents. Ongoing studies in large patient populations should help determine the benefit/risk ratio of traditional therapy. Regardless of the outcome of these trials, current electrophysiological dogma will have to be re-evaluated and newer concepts evolve for drug development to make further progress. The goal of this symposium is to exchange information among basic and clinical investigators so as to facilitate the emergence of novel electrophysiological concepts that will form the basis for future generations of antiarrhythmic drugs.     

提高抗恶性疟独特型单抗克隆出现频率的方法学探讨

用Protein A-Sepharose亲和层析法提纯McAb-IgG,皮下多点和腹腔免疫雄性Wistar大鼠,间隔两周共3次,融合前3天采用腹腔、尾静脉和脾内注射等三种加强免疫方法,以间接ELISA法和抗体竞争ELISA法筛选Anti-Id阳性克隆。结果显示:融合前大鼠血清抗小鼠IgG或抗免疫原McAb-IgG滴度,静脉组和脾内组比腹腔组高一个滴度;Anti-Id阳性克隆出现频率,腹腔组为0.9％和0.3％,静脉组为11.0％和13.3％,脾内组为16.4％和12.9％,静脉组和脾内组明显高于腹腔组(P<0.01);上述三种加强免疫方法对抗小鼠IgG阳性克隆出现频率无明显影响(P>0.05);与腹腔加强免疫组相比,静脉和脾内加强免疫组也可提高细胞融合效果(P<0.01).本实验结果提示,腹腔和皮下多点多次长程基础免疫结合静脉或脾内加强免疫是制备Anti-Id McAb比较好的免疫方案。     

Sexual sequelae of antihypertensive drugs: Treatment effects on self-report and physiological measures in middle-aged male hypertensives

Antihypertensive drugs are commonly associated with adverse side effects in both clinical and laboratory studies. We investigated the sexual sequelae of several major classes of antihypertensive drugs (e.g., beta blockers, central alpha agonists, diuretics) in normal males and in hypertensive patients. We compared the effects of four widely used agents (methyldopa, propranolol, atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide-triamterene) and placebo, in a selected sample of 21 sexually dysfunctional male hypertensives, 13 of whom completed all five phases of the study. Each study drug was administered for a 1-month treatment period, followed by a 2-week, single-blind washout phase, according to a randomized, Latin square crossover design. Dependent variables for the study included a broad range of hormonal, NPT, and self-report measures of sexual response. Results indicated a lack of consistent drug effects on measures of sexual response, although more frequent sexual and nonsexual side effects were observed with methyldopa and propranolol. As in our previous studies, age was negatively correlated with both hormonal and NPT measures, whereas changes in blood pressure were not significantly related to sexual function scores. Results do not support the hypothesis that sexually dysfunctional males are at greater risk for adverse sexual sequelae when treated with centrally active agents or diuretics.     

Progression of amiodarone induced cataracts

Amiodarone hydrochloride is a potent antiarrhythmic agent recently approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration. Anterior subcapsular lens opacities were observed in seven of fourteen patients treated with moderate to high doses of amiodarone at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in San Francisco in 1982. The present report summarizes the present status of these same fourteen patients ten years later. Anterior subcapsular lens opacities developed or progressed in all patients continuing treatment with this antiarrhythmic agent during the following ten year interval. Although Snellen visual acuities are not decreased, subtle visual impairment is present as measured by contrast sensitivity measurements with and without glare. This decrease in visual acuity is not a contraindication for therapy with this potentially life saving drug.     

EPF单克隆抗体杂交瘤细胞株的建立

本文用纯化的早孕因子免疫ＢＡＬＢ／Ｃ小鼠，通过鼠－鼠杂交瘤技术，成功地建立了２株分泌ＥＰＦ单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞。经检测，它们所分泌的抗体亚类均为ＩｇＧ１，毁交瘤染色体数目１００－１０６条，ＥＩＳＡ检测诱生腹水抗体效价为１：１．２８＊１０＾５，连续培养生物学性状稳定。抗ＥＰＦ抗原的单克隆抗体的建立，为深入研究ＥＰＦ的生物学性质、特征提供了有力的工具。

本文研究了在使用菌苗预防前后的流行性脑脊髓膜炎流行强度的变迁，年龄、地区及季节分布特点，人群的易感性及带菌率之间的关系，并讨论了今后的预防措施。     

抗白色念珠菌鸡卵黄抗体(IgY)的研制

目的：观察鸡蛋黄中抗体的产量、纯度、来源及稳定性。方法：应用白色念珠菌作为抗原免疫25周龄Leghorn鸡，通过改良水溶法（WD）提取蛋黄中抗体IgY，双紫外光测定抗体含量，SDS-APGE电泳检测抗体纯度，Western blot免疫印迹法测定该抗体来源，ELISA检测热处理后的抗体活性。结果：抗体含量13mg/ml蛋黄液，抗体纯度达到95%，Western blot免疫印迹证明该抗体与鸡血清中的IgG具有相同的分子量和抗原性。ELISA检测热处理后的抗体活性，其具有良好的热稳定性。结论：鸡蛋黄内含有丰富的抗体，通过WD水溶提取法可得到高产量，高纯度的特异性抗体IgY，证明其来源于鸡血清中的IgG，对热具有高度稳定性。
