胰岛素样生长因子-I和人绒毛膜促性腺激素对成年大鼠Leydig细胞葡萄糖转运蛋白基因表达调控

目的:研究胰岛素样生长因子I(IGF I)和人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)对成年大鼠睾丸Leydig细胞中葡萄糖转运蛋白(GLUT)基因表达的影响,为进一步探讨Leydig细胞中睾酮的合成、分泌与葡萄糖代谢的关系提供依据。方法:采用改良的Klinefelter方法从成年大鼠睾丸中分离获得Leydig细胞;用反转录聚合酶链技术检测IGF I和hCG对原代培养的Leydig细胞中GLUT基因表达的调控作用。结果:分离得到纯度为98%的大鼠Leydig细胞,并与对照组比较,hCG可显著增加Leydig细胞中GLUT8基因mRNA的表达水平(P<0.001),且此作用具有剂量依赖性与时效性。当在试验组细胞中单独加入IGF I或IGF I和hCG作用于细胞后,发现IGF I(100ng mL)可显著增加Leydig细胞中GLUT8基因mRNA的表达(P<0.01),也可与hCG协同作用显著提高GLUT8基因的mRNA表达,该结果与IGF I(100ng mL)和hCG(10ng mL)能协同作用极显著增加睾酮合成水平(P<0.001)的结果是相吻合的。在大鼠Leydig细胞中,无论10ng mL或100ng mL还是两者同时作用于细胞,都不能影响GLUT1和GLUT3基因的mRNA水平。结论:在成年大鼠Leydig细胞中,IGF I和hCG对细胞中的GLUT8基因表达的调节作用具有特异性,其协同作用能显著提高细胞中GLUT8基因mRNA水平,增强细胞摄取葡萄糖的能力,给细胞提供更多的代谢能源,最终增加Leydig细胞睾酮的合成与分泌。     

Immunological factors in milk from Brazilian mothers delivering small-for-date term neonates

Breast milk samples from three groups of Brazilian women were evaluated: G1, mothers delivering term babies of low birth weight (n=16); G2, mothers delivering preterm babies of appropriate birth weight (n = 20); G3, mothers delivering term babies of appropriate birth weight ( n = 30). Milk samples were obtained at 48 h and on the 7th, 15th, 30th and 60th days after delivery and they were analyzed for lysozyme and total IgA levels and for the presence of specific antibodies against Poliovirus types I, II, III, Rotavirus, Herpes simplex virus, Varicella zoster and Cytomegalovirus. The groups were not statistically different in relation to mother's age, parity, type of delivery or socio-economic levels. IgA levels were higher in both low-birth-weight groups (G1 & G2) compared to the control group (G3) throughout the study period. Lysozyme levels decreased up to the 15th day, increasing thereafter up to the 60th day in all groups. Specific antibodies were detected throughout the study period, with no differences among groups. We conclude that breast milk composition of mothers delivering low-birth-weight babies (G1 & G2) was similar despite the different gestational ages.

“Why do they do that?”

The problem of compliance or adherence with medical advice is complex in every aspect. Frequently compliance definitions vary, measurements are not well quantified, interventions are uncontrolled or not fully elaborated. Nevertheless the importance of facilitating and maximizing compliance is undeniable. As the medications available become more potent and effective, the challenge of achieving optimal medication compliance comes into sharper focus and becomes a concern for everyone involved in health care. Here some of the recent clinical research on compliance is presented together with strategies intended to improve medication compliance by pediatric patients.     

Inpatient admissions for interventional radiology: philosophy of patient management

As an alternative to performing interventional radiology on inpatients under the care of internists and surgeons, the authors have established a cardiovascular radiology admitting service for well-screened, elective patients. The patients are admitted under the care of a cardiovascular radiology fellow and a staff physician. From April 1982 to December 1983, 133 patients were admitted to the service. Patients are cared for in a surgical ward or in an intermediate unit, as determined by the clinical situation. Advantages of this approach include a broader patient referral base, improved rapport with clinical colleagues and patients, improved follow-up data, and rapid evaluation and treatment, resulting in short hospital stays. The major disadvantages involve the commitment of time and staff necessary to provide quality care. The concept of the interventional radiologist in the role of admitting physician has important implications in terms of negotiations for additional financial compensation, commensurate with the skill and time required for performing these procedures and caring for the patient.
