原代培养鼠胚脊髓运动神经元活力状态与肌萎灵注射液的干预作用

目的:从细胞水平,观察扶元起萎,养荣生肌的中药制剂肌萎灵注射液对原代培养鼠胚脊髓运动神经元的保护作用。方法:实验于2004-03/2005-03在解放军第三军医大学完成。实验分组:清洁级SD雌性孕鼠,孕期10～14d。应用密度梯度离心法分离鼠胚脊髓运动神经元进行原代培养,运动神经元培养72h后,按培养板及孔分为4.5μg/L肌萎灵组(肌萎灵注射液,含生药0.9g/mL)、9μg/L肌萎灵组、45μg/L肌萎灵组、力如太组(力如太R利鲁唑片,应用时经0.9%NaCl-0.01NHCl溶解)和对照组。实验处理:各组分别加入用新鲜培养基稀释为0.5%(终浓度4.5μg/L)、1%(终浓度9μg/L)、5%(终浓度45μg/L)的肌萎灵注射液,力如太组加入利鲁唑(终浓度10μmo/L),对照组加入等量新鲜培养基。实验评估:①共同培养3d用四甲基偶氮唑盐法观察其对细胞活力的影响,以吸光度表示。②采用NF-200免疫组织化学染色并进行图像分析,测定神经突起主干长度。结果:①培养的运动神经元活力状态比较:4.5,9,45μg/L肌萎灵组培养运动神经元活力显著增强,与对照组相比,差异有显著性意义(0.317±0.054,0.396±0.087,0.329±0.097,0.230±0.130,P<0.05)。力如太组细胞生长与对照组相比无显著差异(0.266±0.141,0.230±0.130,P>0.05)。②脊髓运动神经元突起生长情况结果:4.5μg/L肌萎灵组和9μg/L肌萎灵组可促进其生长,与对照组相比,差异有显著性意义[(315.96±32.32),(373.46±80.24),(159.71±48.95)μm,P<0.05]。结论:肌萎灵注射液可增强运动神经元活力,促进脊髓运动神经元突起的生长。     

非溶蚀型药物体系的释放动力学新模型──Fick第一扩散定律的修正及其应用

基于以下两点事实:Fick第一扩散定律中的扩散系数并非严格的常数,它随浓度变化;Fick第一扩散定律只适用于浓度梯度恒定的稳定扩散,而许多实验表明浓度梯度也是一个时间函数,本文对Fick第一扩散定律作出两点修正将原定律中浓度梯度和扩散系数分别修正为时间函数和浓度函数,从而导出关于非溶蚀型药物体系的释放动力学模型。该模型较其他常用释放模型有更好的拟合效果,其参数也有较为明确的物理意义。     

Interstitial hyperthermia in combination with brachytherapy

Flexible coaxial cables were modified to serve as microwave antennas operating at a frequency of 915 MHz. These antennas were inserted into nylon afterloading tubes that had been implanted in tumors using conventional interstitial implantation techniques for iridium-192 seed brachytherapy. The tumor volume was heated to 42-45 degrees C within 15 minutes and heating was continued for a total of 1 hour per treatment. Immediately following a conventional brachytherapy dose and removal of the iridium seeds the tumors were heated again in a second treatment. This interstitial technique for delivering local hyperthermia should be compatible with most brachytherapy methods. The technique has proved so far to be practical and without complications. Temperature distributions obtained in tissue phantoms and a patient are described.     

Value of plasma calcium, phosphate, and alkaline phosphatase measurements in the diagnosis of histological osteomalacia

Plasma calcium and phosphate concentrations and alkaline phosphatase activities were examined retrospectively in 50 patients with histologically proven osteomalacia and 50 age- and sex-matched control subjects with normal bone histology. An abnormal plasma alkaline phosphatase activity was more useful than an abnormal plasma calcium or phosphate concentration in distinguishing between normal and osteomalacic subjects, producing a false-negative rate of 14% and a false-positive rate of 8%. False-negative and false-positive rates of 10% and 8% respectively were obtained when the presence of an abnormality in any one of the three biochemical measurements was used as a predictor of histological osteomalacia. When discriminant analysis was applied to plasma calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase together a false-negative rate of 12% and a false-positive rate of 0% was obtained.     

Physiology of sucking in the normal term infant using real-time US

Our study of 16 normal term, breast-fed infants documents real-time ultrasound as a technique for evaluating the oral portion of the sucking mechanism in infants. We also describe the mechanics of sucking used by the infants during breast-feeding.     

PREVALENCE OF MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE IN HONG KONG CHINESE A CLINICAL AND AUTOPSY STUDY

The prevalence of mitral valve pro.lapse in Chinese was determined by screening 156 heal- thy subjects and by patholobic examination of 86 adult autopsies. Mitral valve prolapse was found in 7.7% in the clinical study and 5.8% in the autopsy study. A slight female preponderance was noted.
