目的：对男性不育患者进行遗传学病因分析，并探讨其遗传效应。方法：采取132例男性不育患者外周血进行染色体核型分析。结果：132例男性不育患者中，染色体异常24例，染色体变异22例。其中大Y20例，47，XXY18例，45．XY，t(13；14)3例，小Y和46，XY，inv(9)各2例，46，XY，t(9；22)1例。结论：染色体异常是男性不育的重要原因，并建议男性不育患者进行基因诊断，以便确诊是否属于遗传病，为生育提供指导，避免盲目治疗。     

Tobacco smoking: a major risk factor for loss of teeth in three 70-year-old cohorts

Oral health was examined in a random sample of 1377 people in three 70-year-old cohorts studied within 5-yr intervals. During the studied period 1971-1983 the prevalence of toothlessness decreased from 52 to 34%. Toothlessness in men was more common in smokers, 48%, and ex-smokers, 32%, than in non-smokers, 20%. Eichner's index was used as a measurement of dental invalidity. This index showed a worse dental state among smokers and ex-smokers compared to non-smokers. Multivariate analyses indicated that tobacco smoking was a major independent risk factor for tooth loss in elderly men.     

神经化组织工程骨构建的初步观察

目的评估两种组织工程骨体内神经化重建方法的成骨效果,研究神经化与成骨的相互关系。方法26只新西兰大白兔,其中24只随机分成四组:组织工程骨组(A组),感觉神经束植入组(B组),运动神经束植入组(C组),血管束植入组(D组);另2只为空白对照组。每只动物均制备左侧股骨长1.5cm的段缺性骨与骨膜缺损,钢板固定后骨缺损处分别植入用四种方法制备的组织工程骨。植入的神经分别是隐神经和股神经肌支。术后4、8、12周摄股骨正位X线片,用放射影像学评分和X线阻射影分析比较骨缺损修复情况。结果在组织工程骨中植入感觉神经束后,比单纯组织工程骨和运动神经束植入的修复效果均有明显提高,而在组织工程骨中植入运动神经束与单纯组织工程骨修复骨缺损的效果相比较无明显差异,感觉神经束植入与血管束植入的成骨效果比较无明显差异,血管束植入组的成骨效果优于其它两组。结论利用感觉神经束植入的方法可以提高组织工程骨的成骨作用,而植入运动神经束却无此作用。     

Production and characterization of high affinity monoclonal antibodies to cyclic anti-depressant molecules

A procedure is reported by which high levels of the tricyclic molecule desipramine was modified and conjugated at high density to the carrier molecules keyhole limpet hemocyanin and bovine serum albumin so that these could be used as immunogens in Balb/c mice. Such conjugates generated immune responses with high levels of antibody with specificity for the tricyclic. B cell hybridomas generated by fusion of immune Balb/c splenocytes to NS-1 cells which secreted monoclonal antibodies with specificity for the tricyclic were selected in a standard ELISA. In this report, we show that the binding constants of these monoclonal antibodies with various haptens can be assessed accurately by measuring fluorescence polarization, that a high degree of cross-reactivity between the monoclonals and various tricyclics exists, and that this procedure can be used to generate monoclonal antibodies of high binding constants.     

Parathyroid hormone decreases in vivo insulin effect on glucose utilization

Hyperparathyroidism is associated with impaired glucose tolerance, and parathyroidectomy may improve carbohydrate homeostasis. It has been suggested that parathyroid hormone (PTH) suppresses insulin secretion but it is unclear whether it also interferes with the peripheral action of insulin. To evaluate in vivo effects of PTH on insulinmediated glucose utilization, 15 male Sprague Dawley rats were continuously infused with rat PTH (1–34) using an Alzet miniosmotic pump at a rate of 0.03 nm/hour. Controls were infused with the vehicle alone. Following 5 days of PTH infusion, plasma calcium (Ca) levels were higher in the PTH-infused rats (12.3±0.2 versus 9.9±0.1 mg/dl, P<0.01). On the 5th day, glucose (700 mg/kg) and insulin (0.175 U/kg) were given as a bolus infusion through the left femoral vein, blood samples were obtained from the right femoral vein, and plasma glucose and insulin were measured at basal (0 minutes) and at 2, 5, 10, and 20 minutes postinfusion. Basal, nonfasting glucose levels were higher (166±4 versus 155±4 mg/dL, P<0.04) in the PTH-infused rats but their insulin levels were similar to those of controls (6.5±0.6 versus 5.6 ±0.5 ng/ml). Postinfusions and maximal (2 minutes) glucose and insulin levels were similar in both groups. However, although insulin levels were similar in both groups at all measured time points, glucose levels at 20 minutes were higher in the PTH-treated rats (205±13 versus 173±9; P<0.03). Also, calculated glucose disappearance rates (Kg) were decreased in the PTH-infused rats (4.05±0.3 versus 4.63±0.8; P=0.054), suggesting an impaired peripheral effect of insulin on glucose utilization. To gain insight into the potential contribution of the hypercalcemia or the PTH to these abnormalities, correlation evaluations were performed. Only in PTH-infused rats did plasma Ca correlate with plasma glucose at 0 and 20 minutes (r=0.6, P=0.02; r=0.7, P=0.01) and with the area under the glucose curve (r=0.6, P=0.03) during the glucose-insulin infusion. Also only in PTH-infused rats did PTH correlate with 0 (P=0.07) and 20-minute (P=0.02) plasma glucose levels. There was no correlation between either Ca or PTH and basal insulin levels or the area under the insulin curve in either group. Consequently, we suggest that in the rat, PTH infusion associated with hypercalcemia impairs insulin effect on glucose utilization in vivo and this defect may be induced by the Ca, PTH, or both.This study was presented in part at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society, Anaheim, CA, USA, June 1994.
