Polyhedron-like Inclusion Body Formation by a Mutant Nucleopolyhedrovirus Expressing the Granulin Gene from a Granulovirus

The polyhedrin gene inBombyx morinucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) was replaced with the granulin gene ofTrichoplusia nigranulovirus (TnGV). The substitution was verified by Southern hybridization, and expression of granulin by the mutant virus, BmGran, was demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by amino acid sequencing of the predominant protein of BmGran inclusion bodies (IBs). Light and electron microscopy examination of BmGran-infectedB. moriand BmN cells revealed large, cuboidal, polyhedron-like IBs in the nucleus and cytoplasm, but granules were not seen. IBs contained small, parallel, electron-dense streaks, which defined the geometric pattern of crystallization. Geometric patterns of nuclear IBs were frequently disrupted by occlusion of polyhedron envelope fragments, resulting in IB instability and fracturing. Virions were not embedded in most of the polyhedron-like IBs, but accumulated with polyhedron envelope fragments. Some virions were coated with matrix protein and were partially wrapped by polyhedron envelope. These results suggested that (1) the amino acid sequence of granulin is insufficient for determining IB morphology in TnGV-infected cells, and TnGV may have genes, not present in BmNPV, that control granule formation, and (2) interactions among the virion, the IB envelope, and the matrix protein may be important in virion occlusion and IB morphology and stability.     

Identification of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated in Poland by multilocus sequence typing

Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of 35 isolates of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae recovered in Poland during 1995-1996 distinguished 10 different sequence types (ST). The majority of the isolates were assigned to two Polish clones of serotypes 6B and 23F, although the international clones, Spain23F-1 and Spain9V-3, were also identified. Similar results were obtained using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), providing a direct comparison of these two typing methods.     

胡萝卜籽挥发油的抗生育作用

胡萝卜籽挥发油对小鼠有抗着床,抗早、中和晚期妊娠作用。对大鼠也有抗着床作用。挥发油中的萜类碳氢化合物部位,对小鼠皮下注射抗早期妊娠的ED_(50)为2.9ml/kg,甲地孕酮和hCG能明显逆转其作用;对假孕小鼠蜕膜瘤有抑制作用,此作用不能被甲地孕酮拮抗,皮下注射于早孕大鼠24、48小时后血浆孕酮浓度明显下降。以上提示其抗早孕作用机制可能与抑制孕酮合成和蜕膜反应有关。此外,挥发油碳氢部分无雌激素和抗雌激素活性,低浓度时对早孕大鼠离体子宫的收缩活动没有影响,高浓度则表现抑制作用。     

新洁尔灭对小白鼠抗早孕的病理组织学观察

本文报告用不同剂量的新洁尔灭和同体积生理盐水注入怀孕5天小白鼠的宫腔内,3天后杀死,观察其蜕膜、胚泡、宫内膜腺体和卵巢黄体病理学改变。实验表明:对照组无改变。实验组小白鼠的蜕膜细胞全部退变坏死。病变随着给药量的递增而渐趋严重;同时胚泡亦有退变和坏死。提示:新洁尔灭对早期妊娠小白鼠是有抗早孕效果的。根据实验结果,我们认为新洁尔灭对小白鼠抗早孕的机制,很可能是一个综合因素,有直接的,也有间接的。作者强调在抗早孕机制诸因素中,蜕膜退变坏死是一个重要的因素。     

Monitoring effects of α-human atrial natriuretic polypeptide (α-hANP) on left ventricular function in patients with essential hypertension with a cardiac probe

The effects of -hANP on left ventricular function were studied with a cardiac probe in ten patients with essential hypertension. Our data showed that intravenous administration of -hANP significantly elevated left ventricular function. At 5 min, the elevation of EF, RCO, ER, RSV, PFR were 13.23% (P<0.02), 12.7 (P<0.02), 0.618 (P<0.02), 0.133 (P<0.05), 0.283 (P<0.01), respectively. At 10 min, the increase of EF, ER, were 11.07% (P<0.02) and 0.233 (P<0.01), respectively. Atriopeptin significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure from 2 min to 20 min (P<0.001–0.05).Supported by IAEA Grant No. 4062/RI/RB     

器官培养在研究人食管上皮癌变中的应用

将组织块置于明胶海绵上,摇摆器官培养,4～6周后成人食管粘膜仍保持良好的结构形态,具有活跃生长的上皮细胞和良好的腺体结构;将组织块贴壁,静置外植块—细胞培养,成人食管粘膜和胎儿食管组织块可存活2～3个月,提供大量生长旺盛的上皮细胞。成人食管癌旁粘膜培养利于观察细胞癌前改变,可能较易于诱发癌变;胎儿食管具有正常背景,利于研究细胞癌变的全过程.二者配合可组成研究人食管上皮癌变的完整体外实验系统。     

ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN VARIANTS AND THEIR CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The molecular heterogeneity of serum alpha-fe- toprotein (AFP) in 36 patients was studied by lectin affinity-radioimmunoelectrophoresis. Two variants of AFP, concanavalin-A (Con-A) reactive and the Con-A nonreactive, were obtained. AFP in all 13 patients with hepatoma consisted of the two va- riants, but the Con-A reactive variant was the ma jor one. In 8 patients with benign liver disorder, however, only the Con-A reactive variant of AFP was detected. Over 50"70 0f AFP in 5 patients with yolk sac tumor was Con-A nonreactive. Thus, there were three different patterns of AFP variants. The clinical implications are discussed.     

煤矿工人工作家庭冲突对职业紧张的影响研究

目的分析煤矿作业人员工作家庭冲突对其职业紧张发生的影响,为降低其职业紧张的发生提供参考依据。方法通过分层整群抽样的方法纳入1500名煤矿工人作为研究对象,采用ERI量表和工作家庭冲突量表调查研究对象的工作家庭冲突和职业紧张现状,采用二分类logistic回归对职业紧张的影响因素进行分析。结果研究共调查了1346名煤矿作业工人,工作家庭冲突分数结果显示,不同轮班、婚姻和工种的煤矿作业人员其分数差异较大(P<0.05);煤矿工人职业紧张阳性率为47.77%,煤矿工作人员在不同年龄、工龄和婚姻状况之间职业紧张阳性率差异较大(分别为χ^(2)=20.938、χ^(2)=19.873、χ^(2)=6.273,P<0.05);工作家庭冲突三维度的方面(时间、压力、行为)的得分都与付出、超负荷和ERI比值呈现出正相关关系(P<0.05);多因素回归分析发现:年龄>45岁(OR=1.370,95%CI:1.052~1.785)、工龄>10年(OR=1.788,95%CI:1.223~2.614)和家庭-工作冲突(OR=1.070,95%CI:1.049~1.091)均是煤矿作业人员发生职业紧张的危险因素(P<0.05)。结论研究表明煤矿作业工人目前发生职业紧张状况不容乐观,家庭-工作冲突可以增加职业紧张发生的风险。
