从频率因素分析振动对小白鼠体内~（125）Ⅰ－碘化钠的分布影响

本文系统地观察了不同频率的全身振动引起小白鼠对１２５Ｉ－碘化钠的吸收与分布作用。用放射免疫方法测定小白鼠体内不同组织中碘化钠的分布密度（ｃｐｍ／ｋｇ）。结果发现，振动能明显促进小白鼠对碘化钠的吸收速度。其中，心脏组织、肝脏组织、血液和肾脏组织中碘化钠的分布密度较对照组明显增多。且分布密度的大小依赖于振动频率的高低。同时，振动还能加快碘化钠在小鼠体内的耗散过程。     

Organ distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in SARS patients: implications for pathogenesis and virus transmission pathways

We previously identified the major pathological changes in the respiratory and immune systems of patients who died of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) but gained little information on the organ distribution of SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). In the present study, we used a murine monoclonal antibody specific for SARS-CoV nucleoprotein, and probes specific for a SARS-CoV RNA polymerase gene fragment, for immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, respectively, to detect SARS-CoV systematically in tissues from patients who died of SARS. SARS-CoV was found in lung, trachea/bronchus, stomach, small intestine, distal convoluted renal tubule, sweat gland, parathyroid, pituitary, pancreas, adrenal gland, liver and cerebrum, but was not detected in oesophagus, spleen, lymph node, bone marrow, heart, aorta, cerebellum, thyroid, testis, ovary, uterus or muscle. These results suggest that, in addition to the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal tract and other organs with detectable SARS-CoV may also be targets of SARS-CoV infection. The pathological changes in these organs may be caused directly by the cytopathic effect mediated by local replication of the SARS-CoV; or indirectly as a result of systemic responses to respiratory failure or the harmful immune response induced by viral infection. In addition to viral spread through a respiratory route, SARS-CoV in the intestinal tract, kidney and sweat glands may be excreted via faeces, urine and sweat, thereby leading to virus transmission. This study provides important information for understanding the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV infection and sheds light on possible virus transmission pathways. This data will be useful for designing new strategies for prevention and treatment of SARS.     

针刺对多囊卵巢综合征大鼠卵巢TGF-α、EGFR表达的影响

目的:研究针刺对多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)大鼠卵巢转化生长因子α(TGF-α)、表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)表达的影响,探讨针刺促排卵的作用机制。方法:24日龄雌性大鼠颈背部皮下注射脱氢表雄酮(DHEA)的油溶液制作(PCOS)模型,对照组同期皮下注射油剂。PCOS大鼠随机分为模型组和针刺组。模型组不作处理,针刺组大鼠从80日龄起针刺关元、中极、双侧三阴交、双侧子宫穴,1次/天,15min/次,连续6周。治疗结束后各组大鼠断头处死,迅速取血并分离血清,-20℃冰箱保存,待测性激素水平。摘取双侧卵巢,称重,4%多聚甲醛固定,作HE染色和免疫组织化学染色。结果:与模型组相比,针刺组卵巢湿重、卵巢TGF-α、EGFR表达及血清睾酮(T)、雌二醇(E2)水平均显著降低(P<0.01),而卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成素(LH)、孕酮(P4)水平差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:针刺能显著降低PCOS大鼠卵巢TGF-α及EGFR的表达,抑制TGF-α对卵巢和激素合成的作用,改善PCOS大鼠多囊样变和高雄激素血症,促进排卵。     

Preparation and identification of di-block copolymer composed of crystalline poly(ethylene oxide) and noncrystalline poly(vinyl acetate) with well-defined structure

A block copolymer of ethylene oxide (EO) and vinyl acetate (VAc) was prepared by sequential anionic and photo-induced charge transfer polymerization (CTP) using UV sensible p-aminophenoxy end groups on PEO (PEO_a). The structure and composition of this block copolymer (PEO-b-PVAc) were identified in detail. The relationship between polymerization rate (R_p) and the concentrations of benzophenone (BP) and monomer, and the effect of the concentration and molecular weight of PEO_a on the polymerization of VAc, are discussed; the relationship R_p ∝ [PEO_a-11000]^0.33 [VAc]^0.28 [BP]^0.47 using benzene as a solvent was derived. The dependence of the thermal properties of PEO-b-PVAc on the length of the PVAc block is described. It turned out that the PEO and PVAc blocks are compatible.

The dependence of nerve regeneration through muscle grafts in the rat on the availability and orientation of basement membrane

Summary Nerve regeneration through grafts of basement membrane matrix, prepared by freezing of autogenous muscle followed by thawing in distilled water, was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats. Electrophysiological evidence of recovery in distal nerve was observed at 51 days after implantation of treated grafts whose basement membrane tubes were coaxial with the proximal and distal ends of the transected sciatic nerve. This correlated with histological findings of well-developed myelinated nerve fibres within both grafts and distal nerve. However, whereas normal axon numbers were achieved in the grafts by 3 months, the regenerating nerve in these muscle grafts took 6 months to 1 year to recover normal axon diameter and myelination. Recovery was delayed through grafts whose basement membrane tubes were at right angles to the nerve fibres and through grafts of untreated muscle coaxially aligned. It is concluded that successful repopulation of the distal stump and functional recovery can follow nerve regeneration through treated muscle autografts. The rate of regeneration is dependent on the availability of empty basement membrane tubes. If these are unavailable or inappropriately orientated, regeneration can still occur but is significantly delayed.     

A transformation procedure for Botryotinia squamosa

Summary The onion leaf blight fungus, Botrytis squamosa, was transformed to hygromycin B resistance using a plasmid (pDH25) containing a bacterial gene for hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) fused to promoter elements from Aspergillus. Southern hybridization of transformants indicated that single or multiple copies of the vector were integrated into heterologous regions of the B. squamosa genome. Free plasmid was found in undigested preparations of transformant DNA, but was not detected after 3–5 passages of selective transfer. Most transformants were mitotically stable in both selective and non-selective growth; however, both genetic rearrangements and loss of integrated DNA occurred during vegetative growth.     

Histiocytosis X. S-100 protein, peanut agglutinin, and transmission electron microscopy study

Twenty-seven cases of histiocytosis X (HX) for which paraffin blocks were available were studied with the use of S-100 protein immunohistochemistry, peanut agglutinin affinity histochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that these techniques did enable identification of Langerhans'-type histiocytes in 88.5%, 75%, and 47.4% of cases, respectively. All techniques were proved to be of some diagnostic value for HX, but none was able to confirm the diagnosis in all instances and none could foretell the prognosis of the patients. This study shows that besides the Langerhans' cells, the indeterminate cells of the skin and the interdigitating dendritic reticulum cells of the lymph node may also be involved in this process. Moreover, some multinucleate giant cells and foamy cells may be derived from Langerhans' and related cells.

慢性心功能不全时经主动脉移植干细胞的可行性研究

心肌梗死或/和慢性心功能不全时,心脏干细胞移植是一项颇有应用前景的新的治疗技术。但是,对于非缺血性心脏病所致的慢性心功能不全,目前所采用的移植路径有一定的局限性。本试验拟研究慢性心功能不全时,封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部移植干细胞是否可行。阿霉素所致的慢性心功能不全兔模型,采用双球囊封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部自体移植骨髓单核细胞,4周后评价心功能。在封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部移植干细胞时,无1例因移植手术死亡。双球囊充盈时造影显示,主动脉窦显影良好,大部分情况下,左、右冠状动脉可显影。骨髓单核细胞移植4周后,左室射血分数改善明显(P=0 .0 34)。所以,慢性心功能不全时,封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部移植干细胞安全可行。
