Antibody seronegative human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III)- infected patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or related disorders

The human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) is the primary cause of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related disorders (ARC). Prior studies have reported that nearly all symptomatic patients with AIDS or ARC manifest antibody to HTLV-III. This observation has engendered efforts to screen for HTLV-III, especially prior to blood donation, with assays for antibody to HTLV-III. We report the first two cases, one with AIDS and one with ARC, that are HTLV-III virus positive but antibody negative. Accurate diagnosis of HTLV-III infection in some cases may require direct virus culture or tests for antigen. In addition, lack of HTLV-III antibody may indicate an atypical clinical course of AIDS.     

A case report of an intracaval extrathoracic solitary fibrous tumour

Solitary fibrous tumours are infrequent neoplasms based in the pleura that are predominantly benign with malignant pathology and behaviour described in 10–36% of cases. Extrathoracic solitary fibrous tumours (ESFTs) have been considered separately to their intrathoracic counterparts and comprise a third of all solitary fibrous tumours. The extrathoracic location was identified as an adverse prognostic factor for local recurrence but not for metastatic disease. So far, there have not been any reports of solitary fibrous tumours demonstrating caval infiltration. We present a case of a benign ESFT infiltrating into the perirenal inferior vena cava. Together with extrauterine leiomyomas, ESFTs should also be considered as a differential diagnosis for the rare benign lesions invading the inferior vena cava.     

依达拉奉对深低温保存大鼠断肢再植后缺血再灌注损伤的影响

目的:观察依达拉奉对深低温保存大鼠断肢再植后出现缺血再灌注损伤时的保护作用。方法:实验于2006-04/11在山东省立医院手足外科低温医学实验室完成。①选取健康成年Wistar大鼠36只,随机分为对照组、冷冻组和依达拉奉组3组,每组12只。②对照组只显露股动静脉而不结扎,其他2组大鼠截断右后肢,对断肢进行深低温冷冻保存处理(自结扎股动静脉至深低温保存约2h)。③1个月后,将冷冻保存的断肢复温、灌洗液洗脱,依达拉奉组所用灌洗液中含依达拉奉0.5mg/kg,行自体肢体回植(自液氮中取出肢体至恢复血供约2h),恢复肢体血供4h后取材,骨骼肌丙二醛含量,超氧化物歧化酶活性以及线粒体ATP酶活性,测定胫前肌含水量,光镜观察各组骨骼肌肌组织的结构改变。结果:36只全部进入结果分析。①骨骼肌丙二醛含量:依达拉奉组低于冷冻组[(10.37±1.25),(15.36±1.28)μmol/g,P<0.01]。②骨骼肌ATP酶和超氧化物歧化酶活性:依达拉奉组高于冷冻组[(206.2±45.2),(72.7±32.5)μkat/g;(83.9±5.2),(70.5±8.0)mkat/g;P均<0.01]。③胫前肌湿/干质量比值:依达拉奉组低于冷冻组(4.89±0.82,6.38±0.63,P<0.01)。④光镜结果显示依达拉奉组骨骼肌损伤程度明显轻于冷冻组。结论:依达拉奉可以降低肢体再灌注后肌肉组织中的氧自由基水平,减轻缺血再灌注对骨骼肌造成的损伤,对缺血再灌注骨骼肌具有保护作用。     

小叶买麻藤中买麻藤甲素的结构研究

从小叶买麻藤[Gnetum parvifolium(Warb.)C.Y.Cheng]茎的乙酸乙酯部分得到五个成分,经理化常数测定、光谱(UV,IR,MS,~1HNMR,~(13)CNMR和2D-NMR)分析和衍生物制备,确定买麻藤甲素为一个新的2-苯基苯并呋喃类化合物,结构为2-(3′,5′-二羟基-4′-甲氧基苯基)_-3-甲氧基5-羟基苯并呋喃。另外三个鉴定为异丹叶大黄素、白黎芦醇和β-谷甾醇.还有一个化合物正在鉴定中。     

涂圈压电传感器提取频移法测定微量麻黄碱及其在制剂分析中的应用

麻黄碱在受热时可挥发,在蒸除提取溶剂时相随挥发损失,不能用常规的提取重量法测定。使用本室新近研制的涂圈压电传感器作为超微量质量敏感元件,取常规提取重量法的基本原理,并加以改进,可以实现麻黄碱的快速分析,从而扩大该经典方法的应用范围。本法可测定低至亚μg级的麻黄碱,具有方法简便、灵敏度高等优点。
