原发性高血压肝阳上亢证,肝肾阴虚证患者动态血压分析

对６２例原发性高血压肝阳上亢证、肝肾阴虚证病人正常活动状态下２４ｈ血压进行动态监测,分析两证型的血压变化规律。结果显示肝阳上亢证组血压呈昼高夜低、肝肾阴虚证组血压呈昼低夜高的规律性变化,表明２４ｈ动态血压监测值可作为原发必高血压辨证分型的客观指标之一。     

尼龙1010／6及尼龙1010／66动态力学分析

通过动态力学参数温度谱,研究了尼龙１０１０／６、尼龙１０１０／６６两个共聚物系列的动态力学参数与组成的关系。研究表明尼龙１０１０／６、尼龙１０１０／６６在测试温度范围内出现三个明显的松驰转变：α、β、γ,其中各共聚物的β、γ松驰温度相差不大,而α松驰温度随组成改变有明显改变。一般均聚物的α松驰温度较高,共聚物的α松驰温度均低于均聚物,二个系列以尼龙１０１０／６（２９．８／７０．２）、尼龙１０１０／

Reduction of tumorigenicity by an interferon-γ-gene-transduced tumor on another syngeneic tumor in a murine model

To evaluate the effect of interferon-γ-genetransduced cells, DS mice were inoculated into their footpads with syngeneic mammary adenocarcinoma SC42 admixed with interferon-γ producing mammary adenocarcinoma SC115Kγ, which had been established by an interferon-γ-gene transduction in another syngeneic mammary adenocarcinoma SC115 using retroviral vectors. These mice rejected both tumor cells and developed resistance to subsequent challenges with either SC115 or SC42 cells inoculated into their opposite posterior footpads. These results thus indicate that systemic immunological memory to each of the independent tumor cell lines developed in these mice. Although the SC42 cells admixed with irradiated SC115Kγ cells were rejected by these mice, the SC42 cells admixed with irradiated SC115neoR, in which the neo-gene had been transduced, were observed to proliferate. Tumor rejection was reversed by an in vivo administration of anti-interferon-γ antibody, thus suggesting that locally produced interferon-γ plays an important role in tumor elimination and immunological memory induction. In conclusion, interferon-γ-gene-transduced tumor cells are therefore considered to have a therapeutic potential for other types of malignant tumor cell lines.     

P2u receptor-mediated release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor from cerebrovascular endothelium in rats

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stimulation of P2u purinoceptors by UTP on endothelium dilates the rat middle cerebral artery (MCA) through the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide (EDRF/NO) and an unknown relaxing factor. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this unknown relaxing factor is endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). METHODS: Rat MCAs were isolated, cannulated, pressurized, and luminally perfused. UTP was added to the luminal perfusate to elicit dilations. RESULTS: Resting outside diameter of the MCAs in one study was 209+/-7 micrometer (n=10). The MCAs showed concentration-dependent dilations with UTP administration. Inhibition of NO synthase with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (1 micromol/L to 1 mmol/L) did not diminish the maximum response to UTP but did shift the concentration-response curve to the right. Scavenging NO with hemoglobin (1 or 10 micromol/L) or inhibition of guanylate cyclase with ODQ (1 or 10 micromol/L) had effects on the UTP-mediated dilations similar to those of L-NAME. In the presence of L-NAME, dilations induced by 10 micromol/L UTP were accompanied by 13+/-2 mV (P<0.009) hyperpolarization of the vascular smooth muscle membrane potential (-28+/-2 to -41+/-1 mV). Iberiotoxin (100 nmol/L), blocker of the large-conductance calcium-activated K channels, sometimes blocked the dilation, but its effects were variable. Charybdotoxin (100 nmol/L), also a blocker of the large-conductance calcium-activated K channels, abolished the L-NAME-insensitive component of the dilation to UTP. CONCLUSIONS: Stimulation of P2u purinoceptors on the endothelium of the rat MCA released EDHF, in addition to EDRF/NO, and dilated the rat MCA by opening an atypical calcium-activated K channel.

Neurothekeoma palpebrae: a rare nerve sheath tumor arising in the eyelid

PURPOSE: To report a case of an eyelid neurothekeoma, a rare peripheral nerve sheath tumor. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: An excisional biopsy, performed on a lesion removed from the upper eyelid of a 76-year-old woman, revealed the clinical and histopathologic features of a neurothekeoma, a tumor consisting of multiple collections of spindle cells in a myxomatous background. Immunohistochemical characterization showed positivity for NK1/C3, neuron-specific enolase, and alcian blue. CONCLUSION: Neurothekeoma palpebrae should be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary nodules of the eyelids.
