异落新妇甙的结构研究

从百合科菝葵属植物土茯苓(Smilaxg labra Roxb.)根茎的乙醇提取物中分得一个新的天然化合物(I),命名为异落新妇甙(isoastilbin)。根据元素分析,UV,IR,¹H-NMR,¹³C-NMR,2DNMR及FAB-MS,确定化合物I的结构为5,7,3',5'-四羟基二氢黄酮醇-3-O-α-L-鼠李糖甙。     

LHRH-A对孕中期大鼠抗妊娠作用的研究

本文观察了[D-Ala⁶,Pro⁹-Ethylamide¹⁰]-LHRH(LHRH-A)对孕中期大鼠的抗妊娠作用。结果显示:在孕9～11d sc 200μg/d LHRH-A,血浆孕酮水平自第二次给药后明显下降(P<0.05),给药大鼠均流产终止妊娠;LHRH-A的抗妊娠作用可被醋酸甲地孕酮所拮抗;LHRH-A对体外培养的假孕大鼠和孕d 9大鼠黄体细胞分泌孕酮有明显的直接抑制作用。

A randomized controlled trial of electromagnetic therapy in the primary care management of venous leg ulceration

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to establish the potential efficacy, tolerabilityand side-effect profile of electromagnetic therapy as an adjunctto conventional dressings in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. METHOD: A prospective, randomized, double blind controlled clinicaltrial was carried out in a dedicated leg ulcer clinic basedin one urban general practice. Nineteen patients with leg ulcersof confirmed venous aetiology were assessed. The main outcomemeasures were rate and scale of venous leg ulcer healing, changesin patient-reported pain levels, quality of life, degree ofmobility, side effect profile and acceptability to patientsand staff. RESULTS: Sixty-eight per cent of patients attending this dedicated clinicachieved improvements in the size of their ulcer (4, 21%, healedfully) and in reduced pain levels (P < 0.05) during the trial,despite the chronicity of ulcer histories. Patients treatedwith electromagnetic therapy at 800 Hz were found at day 50to have significantly greater healing (P < 0.05) and paincontrol (P < 0.05) than placebo therapy or treatment with600 Hz. All patients reported improved mobility at the end ofthe study. The electromagnetic therapy was well tolerated bypatients, with no differences between groups in reporting adverseevents, and proved acceptable to staff. CONCLUSION: Despite the small numbers in this pilot study, electromagnetictherapy provided significant gains in the healing of venousleg ulcers and reduction in pain. Keywords. Electromagnetic therapy, RCT, leg ulcers, primary care.

Isolation and characterization of human and rabbit sperm tail fibrous sheath

Using mechanical and chemical dissection methods, fibrous sheath was isolated both from normal ejaculated human spermatozoa and from rabbit cauda epididymal spermatozoa. The same techniques did not produce a pure preparation of fibrous sheath from ejaculated rabbit spermatozoa, suggesting that further cross-linking and stabilization of sperm structures occurs in response to components of the seminal plasma. The isolation procedures were monitored by phase contrast microscopy and the purity of the fibrous sheath was verified by electron microscopy. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of isolated human fibrous sheath revealed at least 14 protein bands of which the most intensely stained were of molecular weight 84, 72, 66.2, 57, 32 and 28.5 kDa. The rabbit fibrous sheath revealed at least 10 protein bands, of which the most intensely stained were 35.2, 32.7 and 28.5 kDa. The amino acid composition of the purified fibrous sheath from human and rabbit spermatozoa was similar, being high in aspartic acid and/or asparagine and glutamic acid and/or glutamine, serine, alanine, leucine, lysine and glycine, but low in histidine, tyrosine and isoleucine. This composition is similar to that reported for the rat and suggests that mammalian sperm tail fibrous sheaths are composed of similar types of proteins, although there are apparent differences in protein components between species.
