中药蜈蚣对小鼠胚胎发育的影响

孕鼠１６１只随机分组，在孕期第７－１１天给实验组分别以５００ｍｇ／（ｋｇ．ｄ）（蜈蚣１组）及１０００ｍｇ／（ｋｇ．ｄ）（蜈蚣２组）的中药蜈蚣煎剂灌胃，至孕期１８天记录各组孕鼠和胎鼠的发育情况。结果表明：蜈蚣１，２两组致畸作用明显，死胎，吸收胎比例升高；蜈蚣２组胎鼠和孕鼠的体重均下降，堕胎作用显著，与对照组比较，差异均有非常显著意义（Ｐ＜０．０１）。     

内隐记忆的研究证据及临床意义

内隐记忆 (ｉｍｐｌｉｃｉｔｍｅｍｏｒｙ)一词最初由Ｇｒａｆ与Ｓｃｈａｃｔｅｒ于 1985年提出 ,指对特定的过去经验进行有意识或外显的回忆测验中表现出来的对先前获得信息的无意识提取 ,也就是说 ,在有意或无意间获得的信息、技能或习惯 ,虽不能有意识地回忆和再认 ,但会影响类似作业的成效和行为的有效性。这一概念的提出扩大了记忆研究的内涵 ,因此迅速成为记忆研究的热点之一。目前内隐记忆的研究在测量方法与理论解释方面都取得了一些进展 ,大量证据表明它与外显记忆存在质的不同 ,是一个相对独立的记忆系统。不过现存的问题也很多 ,…     

血管内皮生长因子和E26转录因子在乳腺癌中的表达及意义

目的 试图揭示血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）和E26转录因子（E26 transformation-specificl,ETS-1)在乳腺癌组织中的表达规律,探讨其在血管生成和肿瘤浸润转移中的作用机制。方法 应用原位杂交和免疫组织化学链霉素抗生物系－过氧化物酶复合物法（SP）法,检测48例乳腺癌组织中VEGF和ETS－1的mRNA和蛋白的表达。结果 乳腺癌细胞高表达VEGF mRNA和蛋白,阳性率分别为75％（36／48）,70．8％（34／48）,而血管内皮细胞几乎不表达;ETS－1既表达在乳腺癌细胞,也表达在血管内皮细胞。癌细胞中mRNA和蛋白表达阳性率分别为85．4％（41／48）,79．2％（38／48）;VEGF和ETS－1高表达组的血管密度明显高于低表达组（均P＜0．01）;VEGF和ETS－1的表达与组织学分级和淋巴结转移密切相关,并且高表达组的微血管密度明显高于低表达组（P＜0．01）。结论 VEGF和ETS－1可促进乳腺癌血管形成,同时也促进肿瘤的浸润和转移;检测VEGF和ETS－1的表达可做为乳腺癌恶性度,浸润转移等生物学行为的参考指标。

DICOM数据的三维重建与协同可视化系统的开发

复杂手术常需多科医生协商制定综合性治疗方案,网络协同三维可视化软件可使方案制定直观而精确。我们采用VTK工具包对DICOM格式CT图像数据进行三维重建并作网格简化,将结果所得多边形网格模型无缝集成到用HOOPS/3DAF所开发的图形系统进行显示,并用HOOPS/Stream工具包转成适合网络传输的HSF无损压缩流文件,再用HOOPS/NET工具包实现基于Client/Server架构的协同三维交互可视化系统。所得三维重建结果清晰,协同三维可视化操作实时度高。本研究实现了一个协同手术仿真开发平台,该架构易于进一步添加模拟手术操作与修复体设计功能。

Correlation of preS antigens and clinical status during chronic hepatitis B virus infection

The serum kinetics of preS1 and preS2 antigens has been evaluated in 38 serial samples from eight patients with chronic active (CAH) or chronic persistent (CPH) hepatitis, followed for 2–7 years (mean 4.4 years) in whom liver biopsy was performed at intervals, and in 46 samples from ten asymptomatic HBsAg carriers followed for 4–5 years (mean 4.6 years). Four patterns of preS behaviour have been observed: (1) persistently positive preS1 and preS2; (2) disappearance of preS2; (3) disappearance of both preS1 and preS2; and (4) persistently negative preS1 and preS2. Pattern 4 has been observed exclusively among healthy carriers, while seven out of eight chronic patients exhibited either pattern 1 or 2. Among the chronic patients, preS2 disappearance was accompanied or followed by alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization. The correlation of preS antigens with conventional viral replication markers showed that 100% of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA-positive and 86.6% of HBeAg-positive sera were preS1/preS2 positive, while 61% of HBV-DNA-negative and 64% of HBeAg-negative sera were preS1/preS2 negative. Our data suggest that continuous monitoring of preS antigens in follow-up sera will allow for an improved prognostic evaluation of chronic HBV infection.     

A method that allows easy characterization of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes

A method was developed to compare the lymphocytic infiltrates in regressing vs. progressing experimental mouse tumors using a model for human papillomavirus-16 (HPV-16) oncoprotein-linked cancer. Tumor cells mixed with matrigel, composed of natural matrix substances that provide a basement membrane structure for adherent cells, were inoculated into mice vaccinated with an efficacious vaccine to the E7 oncoprotein or a vaccine to a control antigen. The tumor cells remained within the solidified gel and recruited a cellular infiltrate that could readily be analyzed upon removal of the gelatinous mass containing progressing or regressing tumors. The results show that tumors recruit activated CD8(+) T cells regardless of their antigen specificity. In regressing tumors expressing an appropriate target antigen for the vaccine-induced CD8(+) T cells, a strong increase of the tumor antigen-specific T cell population was observed over time. Progressing tumors that lacked the target antigen for the activated CD8(+) T cell population did not show this selective enrichment.

目的　探讨酒精对小鼠睾丸的组织结构、内皮型一氧化氮合酶 (eNOS)、增殖细胞核抗原 (PCNA)及细胞凋亡的影响。　方法　用 5 %、10 %及 15 % 3种不同浓度的酒精作用于 2 2d龄小鼠 ,取睾丸做石蜡切片、HE染色 ;用免疫组织化学方法检测睾丸eNOS、细胞增殖的变化 ;TUNEL法检测细胞凋亡的变化 ,并进行统计学分析。　结果　随着酒精浓度的增大 ,睾丸组织结构发生明显改变 ,生精小管的直径逐渐减小 ,eNOS阳性细胞面积密度逐渐增大 ,单位面积内PCNA阳性细胞和凋亡细胞数目增加 ,高浓度酒精组与其他组差异极显著 (P <0 0 1)。　结论　酒精可使生精小管的直径变小 ,eNOS及PCNA表达增强 ,凋亡细胞增加并随酒精浓度的增大而变化加重。这可能是过量饮酒导致生精细胞减少 ,生殖能力降低的重要因素。     

Family-based association study between autism and glutamate receptor 6 gene in Chinese Han trios.

The glutamate pathways are involved in diverse processes such as learning and memory, epilepsy, and they play important roles in neural plasticity, neural development, and neurodegeneration. It has been proposed that autism could be a hypoglutamatergic disorder. Recently, Jamain et al. reported that the glutamate receptor 6 (GluR6 or GRIK2) is in linkage disequilibrium with autism. In the present study, the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) and the haplotype transmission were performed to analyze the four SNPs (SNP1: rs995640; SNP2: rs2227281; SNP3: rs2227283; SNP4: rs2235076) of GluR6 in 174 Chinese Han parent-offspring trios. The TDT demonstrated that the two SNPs (SNP2 and SNP3) showed preferential transmission (TDT P = 0.032). The global chi(2) test for haplotype transmission also revealed an association between GluR6 and autism (chi(2) = 10.78, df = 3, P = 0.013). Our results suggested that GluR6 is in linkage disequilibrium with autism.
