高糖饮食对小鼠真菌性角膜炎的影响

目的　探究高糖饮食对小鼠真菌性角膜炎的影响。方法　选取健康无眼疾的雄性C57BL/6J小鼠78只，随机分为高糖饮食组和模型对照组，每组36只，模型对照组给予正常饮用水，高糖饮食组给予含体积分数10%果糖溶液，每2 d测量两组小鼠体质量及血糖，10 d后建立真菌性角膜炎模型。造模后24 h、36 h、48 h、72 h、96 h、120 h、168 h裂隙灯显微镜下对角膜进行临床评分并拍照。处死小鼠后，取角膜组织进行HE染色和PAS染色；测定角膜内中性粒细胞和巨噬细胞浸润体积。利用酶联免疫吸附实验对小鼠角膜内的白细胞介素-1β含量进行测定。结果　造模后 0~14 d，两组小鼠体质量与血糖差异均无统计学意义（均为P>0.05）。造模后24 h、36 h、48 h、120 h、168 h，高糖饮食组小鼠角膜临床评分均明显高于模型对照组，差异均有统计学意义（均为P<0.05）。高糖饮食组小鼠角膜穿孔率79.5%，高于模型对照组的40.9%，差异有统计学意义（P=0.000）。造模后各时间点，高糖饮食组中性粒细胞浸润体积均高于模型对照组，差异均有统计学意义（均为P=0.000）。造模后72 h、96 h、120 h、168 h，高糖饮食组巨噬细胞浸润体积均高于模型对照组（均为P=0.000）。角膜组织病理学检查结果示，高糖饮食组炎症反应更重，角膜组织破坏更早且更为严重。造模后24 h、48 h高糖饮食组白细胞介素-1β含量均明显高于模型对照组（均为P<0.05）。结论　高糖饮食加重了真菌性角膜炎感染的严重程度，增强了中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞的趋化，促进了IL-1β的分泌。

小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞的conA受体分布及受体介导内吞

本实验利用辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)、胶体金标记法显示小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞(Mφ)表面膜刀豆素A(conA)受体的分布及conA受体介导的吞噬活动。结果显示,conA受体在Mφ膜表面呈均匀分布。随着conA凝集素与Mφ膜表面conA受体作用时间的延长,conA受体介导的内吞活性增强。     

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression and Cyclosporine Toxicity in Renal Allograft Rejection

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on renal function and on development of interstitial fibrosis (IF) in renal allografts. Tubular and interstitial expressions of VEGF and TNF-α, and density of macrophages in the interstitium were examined in 92 patients with nonrejected kidneys, acute rejection (AR), chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), borderline changes (BC) and acute cyclosporin A (CsA) toxicity. Follow-up biopsy specimens from patients with AR and BC were evaluated for development of IF. A significant difference in tubular and interstitial VEGF expressions was found between patients with AR, BC, CAN and CsA toxicity (p < 0.001). Macrophage infiltration was positively correlated with VEGF and TNF-α expressions (p < 0.001). VEGF expression increased with increasing expression of TNF-α (p < 0.001). Renal function in first 6 months after initial biopsy was better in patients with marked tubular VEGF expression (p < 0.01); however, in follow-up, development of IF and graft loss was found earlier in these patients (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Increased renal VEGF expression has protective properties immediately following renal allograft but allows for increased risk of early IF, and therefore poor graft outcome in the long term.

神经肽Y对免疫细胞活性的影响

神经肽Y（NPY）是广泛分布于中枢神经系统和外周神经各部位的神经肽类物质。本实验观察NPY在体外对几种免疫细胞活性的直接作用。结果表明，NPY对小鼠T淋巴细胞丝裂原反应性和NK细胞的杀伤活性均无明显影响（P＞0．05），对巨噬细胞分泌溶菌酶有明显抑制作用（P＜0．05）；而对B淋巴细胞丝裂原反应性则有明显的促进作用（P＜0．05）。上述结果提示，NPY对部分免疫细胞功能的影响因细胞种类而异。     

Immunomodulation by hydatid cyst fluid toxin (Echinococcus granulosus)

Since the experimental infection by hydatid cysts ( Echinococcus granulosus ) in mice causes immunomodulation of the host, the effects of hydatid fluid (HF) and fractions of HF were compared in vitro and in vivo . Fractions of HF were obtained using ammonium sulphate precipitation, chloroform/methanol extraction and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). HF proved to be toxic to murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro , and when macrophages were incubated with the different fractions of HF, most toxicity was found in a single TLC-purified fraction with an adjuvant-like effect on the production of specific antibodies against bovine albumin and human red blood cells in mice. Treatment of mice with the toxin caused a drop in the percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Flow-cytometric analysis showed that T-cells from toxin-treated mice had lower membrane-CD3, CD4 and CD8 density, and had higher percentages of CD8⁺ splenocytes and CD4⁺ thymocytes expressing CD25. The toxin caused a down-regulation of CD4 and CD8 expression on thymocytes in vitro , that was dependent on the presence of macrophages. The results may attribute to these toxins a role in the host-parasite relationship of hydatidosis.
