Differential changes of retina dopamine binding sites and adenylyl cyclase responses following 6-hydroxydopamine treatment.

Both dopamine D1 and D2 receptors are present in rat retina. D1 receptors are positively coupled to adenylyl cyclase, while D2 receptors are negatively coupled. After intraocular administration of the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) there is depletion of retinal dopamine by about 90%, as well as a decrease of the number of D1 and D2 receptor binding sites. Following the 6-OHDA lesion, there is an enhancement of the D1 receptor-stimulated accumulation of cyclic-AMP and a loss of D2 receptor-inhibited accumulation of cyclic-AMP. Our results suggest that some of the retinal D2 receptors are coupled to adenylyl cyclase and some are not.     

Treatment of ulcerative colitis by traditional Chinese medicine and dynamic study of immune functions

The effect of the traditional Chinese medicinal herbs enema and enteric-coated capsules in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) were compared in 260 cases. The immune complexes and the dynamic change of autoantibodies were monitored in 28 out of the 260 cases before and after treatment. The following results were observed. (1) There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the enema group and the oral capsule group (93.3% and 87.5% respectively), but the recovery rates of purulent hemafecia, mucusfecia and erosion accompanying colitis, etc. in the former group were higher than those in the latter (P less than 0.01). (2) The circulating immune complexes were found 43 times above the normal range in 17 cases with positive rate 60.7%, and tended to decrease as the condition became better after treatment. Antinuclear antibodies were determined by the indirect fluorescent immune method and the indirect enzyme labelling method and the positive rates were 53.6% and 64.7% respectively, both being much higher than those in the controls (P less than 0.01).     

Intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns and neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage

A goal for the obstetrician and neonatologist is to screen for risk factors associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the low-birthweight infant. Perinatal events that lead to neonatal metabolic and cardiovascular derangements seem to provoke IVH, and conflicting reports have implicated labor as being contributory. A fetal heart rate (FHR) abnormality during premature labor may be a predictor of subsequent neonatal IVH. For this reason, 5 years of FHR tracings at two university medical centers were reviewed for inborn infants who were delivered after premature labor and weighed less than or equal to 2000 gm. Sixty-four infants developed IVH, but pre-existing labor with a discernible FHR pattern was recorded in only 38 (59%) cases. Interpretations were reassuring in 17 (45%) cases, suspicious in 7 (18%) cases, and ominous in 14 (37%) cases. This proportion of FHR patterns was not significantly different from a matched group of premature infants without IVH during the same period. Interpretations of intrapartum FHR patterns of low-birthweight infants are limited, especially before 30 weeks gestation, and not useful in predicting neonatal IVH.

An etiological and clinicopathological study of early syphilis in oropharynx]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of the early stage treponema pallidum infected tissue in ear, nose, oropharynx and larynx and to raise relevance ratio of syphilis in nose and oropharynx and enhance doctor's self-protection awareness. METHODS: The histopathologic characteristics were studied by using HE staining, Warthin-Starry (W-S) staining was adopted to examine the treponema pallidum(TP) in lesion issue and its exudates smear for 12 cases biopsy tissues of suspicious syphilis. The diagnosis was confirmed by venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), rapid plasma reagin circle test(RPR), treponema pallidum hemagglutination test(TPHA) and fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test (FTA-ABS). Treat with curing syphilis methods which published by nation. RESULTS: In the 12 cases mucous membrane specimen, the squamous epithelium proliferated, neutrophilic granulocyte infiltrated, within inherent membrane generous plasmacyte and lymphocyte infiltrated. W-S staining: plenty of treponema pallidum were found inside mucous membrane epithelium and exudate smear. Serology examination: 11 cases VDRL(++++), 7 cases RPR (+), 11 cases TPHA(+), 1 case FTA-ABS(+). After systemic treatment, 11 cases are clinically recovered. All patients serology become negative. CONCLUSION: W-S staining method can directly demonstrate histopathologic characteristics in early syphilis, in intrinsic membrane numerous plasmacyte infiltration. Combining with specific syphilis serology examination could increase diagnosis rate of syphilis in nose and oropharynx.     

高温、亚低温对大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤的作用及其机制研究

目的：研究轻度高温、亚低温对大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤组织兴奋性氨基酸（EAA）与氧自由基的相互关系及病理损伤程度的影响。方法：60只Wistar大鼠按不同脑温条件随机分为生化组（n=28）和病理组（n=32)，采用改良Nagasawa局灶脑缺血再灌注模型，观察脑缺血再灌注损伤组织谷氨酸（Glu），超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、丙二醛（MDA）的变化及光镜，电镜下的病理变化。结果：轻度高温明显加重常温脑缺血再灌注损伤组织Glu、MDA的升高（P＜0．01）及SOD的下降（P＜0．05），加重常温脑缺血再灌注组织病理损伤程度，亚低温的作用则相反，结论：轻度高温可能通过同时促进EAA合成，释放和氧自由基生成系统活化，造成大鼠脑缺血再灌注损组织损伤加重；亚低温可能通过同时抑制EAA合成，释放和氧自由基生成系统活化，减轻大鼠脑缺血再灌注组织损伤程度，对大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤组织起保护作用。
