LHRH-PE40识别结肠癌细胞膜表面蛋白的研究

目的探讨人结肠癌细胞系Lovo及人白血病细胞系Jurket细胞膜表面蛋白能否识别LHRH-PE40及是否存在竞争性抑制。方法将结肠癌细胞系Lovo及白血病细胞系Jurket制备成细胞膜,利用125I标记的LHRH-PE40与两种细胞膜进行放射性配基分析,与LHRH进行竞争结合分析。结果人结肠癌细胞系Lovo的结合竞争符合特异性配基-受体结合、竞争;而白血病细胞系Jurket未见配基-受体特异性结合。其中LHRH-PE40与Lovo细胞的亲和力:Kd=10·6±2·33nmol/L,容量Bmax=345±7·59pmol/mg。结论LHRH是结肠癌免疫治疗的有效靶点,LHRH-PE40对过度表达LHRH受体的结肠癌具有特异性杀伤作用,而对无LHRH表达的肿瘤无杀伤作用,对于药物的临床应用有着指导意义。     

Positive autoradiographic findings in brains of four MS patients

Autoradiography of brain slices from 4 multiple sclerosis (MS) and 9 control patients was performed. After 6 weeks of exposure the exact picture of the white matter appeared on the X-ray films in all cases with MS, but only in one of the controls. The high level of autoradiographic signal from MS white matter suggests that an abnormal accumulation of radioactive trace elements takes place within the brains of MS victims.     

^125I放射微粒微创植入治疗前列腺癌

目的观察^125I放射微粒植入对前列腺癌的治疗效果。方法对26例临床确诊为前列腺癌患者经皮穿刺在癌组织植入^125I放射微粒，每例平均36粒，术后复查肛诊、B超、影像学及血生化指标。结果患者植入治疗经过顺利，2例少量出血，留置导尿后愈合，3个月后经肛诊、直肠B超示结节缩小，前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）降低，多普勒超声显示结节内动脉收缩期最大血流速度（VS）、阻力指数（RI）及动脉搏动指数（PI）均明显下降。结论^125I放射微粒植入对前列腺癌的治疗安全性好、效果可靠。     

AUGMENTED ENDOGENOUS NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION IN PARTIAL PORTAL VEIN-LIGATED RATS

1. Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator. Because the body oxidizes it to nitrate ions, NO₃-, measurement of the serum concentration and the urinary excretion of NO₃- may be an index for endogenous NO. We investigated the role of NO on hyperdynamic circulation in cirrhotic and partial portal vein-ligated rats by measuring NO₃. 2. Liver cirrhosis was induced by administration of thioacetamide. Systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics and splenic-systemic shunting were determined by tracer microspheres. The concentration of NO₃- was measured by using high-performance liquid chromatography with an anion-column. 3. We found that systemic and splanchnic hyperdynamic circulation existed to almost the same extent in cirrhotic and in portal vein-ligated rats as compared to the controls and sham-operated rats, respectively. Splenic-systemic shunting was markedly greater in portal vein-ligated rats than in cirrhotic rats. 4. Serum NO₃- levels and urinary excretion of NO₃- in cirrhotic rats tended to increase as compared to the controls. On the other hand, the levels in portal vein-ligated rats were significantly increased as compared to those of the sham-operated rats, and were significantly and negatively correlated to the splanchnic arterial resistance and total vascular resistance. The amount of urinary excretion of NO₃- significantly correlated to splenic-systemic shunting (r = 0.61, P<0.05) only in portal vein-ligated rats. 5. We suggest that these high levels of NO₃- in portal vein-ligated rats relate to the extensive formation of porto-collateral vasculature or acute changes in systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics due to portal vein-ligation.     

甲状腺机能亢进症辨证分型与甲皱微循环及TT_3、TT_4、FT_4I和吸~(131)碘率的关系

对甲状腺机能亢进症(甲亢)患者进行了临床辨证分型,同步观察甲皱微循环及检测TT_3 TT_4 FT_4I、吸~(131)碘率,探讨它们之间的关系。结果表明甲亢患者微循环积分明显高于对照组(P<0.01),但不同类型甲亢的血淤情况亦不相同。心肝火旺型的微循环积分低于气滞痰凝型和血瘀型,但TT_3、TT_4、FT_4I明显增高;气滞痰凝型居中;血淤型的微循环积分明显增高,但TT_3、TT_4、FT_4I低于其他两型。吸~(131)碘率三型间无差异(P>0.05)。     

60Coγ射线对体外培养成骨细胞作用的实验研究

目的：研究放射性骨损伤的发病机制，探讨骨折合并射线损伤愈合能力下降的原因。方法：将体外培养的成骨细胞用^60Coγ射线一次性照射3、6、9、12Gy，以建立体外培养成骨细胞受射线作用的实验模型；同时，观察成骨细胞的碱性磷酸酶（ALP）活性改变，骨形态发生蛋白（BMP）和转化生长因子β1（TGF-β1）的胞质内表达量，以及细胞内钙离子的含量。结果：成骨细胞受射线照射后，其ALP活性明显降低，且与照射剂量呈明显量效关系，3Gy组抑制率为31.59%，而12Gy组则为84.95%；BMP、TGF-β1的表达量下降，但与照射剂量无明显量效关系；胞质内钙含量亦降低，但受照各组间的抑制率无明显统计学差异。结论：射线对成骨细胞具有直接损害作用，放射性骨损伤的重要方面就是射线对成骨细胞的主要功能酶ALP活性的损害，抑制BMP、TGF-β1等生长因子的合成，且干扰细胞内第二信使钙离子，从而致骨组织的再生重建机能下降。     

Quantitative bone gallium scintigraphy in osteomyelitis

Gallium imaging offers many practical advantages over indium-111-labeled leukocyte imaging, and calculating quantitative ratios in addition to performing the routine bone-gallium images allows accurate and easy evaluation of patients with suspected osteomyelitis. To add objectivity and improve the accuracy and confidence in diagnosis of osteomyelitis, quantitative comparison of abnormalities seen on bone scans and gallium scans was performed. One hundred and ten adult patients with 126 sites of suspected osteomyelitis were evaluated and categorized by gallium-to-bone ratios, gallium-tobackground ratios, and spatial incongruency of gallium and bone activity. Combined evaluation using these criteria gave a 70% sensitivity and 93% specificity for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis.     

A new physical assay method for tobacco mosaic virus using a radioactive virus recovery standard and the first derivative of the ultraviolet absorption spectrum

A new physical assay method for tobacco mosaic virus is described which incorporates two improvements on previous procedures. Losses of up to 75% of virus during extraction are corrected by adding a trace of radioactive virus to leaf samples before homogenization, and determining percentage recovery of radioactivity in final virus preparations. Estimation of virus concentration in partially purified preparations is from the first derivative (dA/d lambda) of the ultraviolet absorption spectrum, using a pronounced signal from the tryptophan fine-structure absorption band at 285-293 nm. This method is highly insensitive to ultraviolet-absorbing contaminants, which cause errors and increase variation between replicates, when estimation of virus concentration is by normal measurement of ultraviolet absorption (A260). The method can be applied to at least some other viruses.
