用小波变换提取视觉诱发电位信号

视觉诱发电位（ＶＥＰ）信号的动态提取及处理具有重要的临床意义。通过硬件采集的ＶＥＰ信号经过叠加平均处理后仍含有大量背景噪声，不能直接用于诊断分析。小波变换是一种新兴时频分析方法，适于分析非平稳信号。在我们研制的视觉生理地形图系统中，成功地用它从背景噪声中提取出ＶＥＰ信号，完成信号的预处理。

Changes in HIV-1 incidence in heroin users in Guangxi Province, China

Guangxi Province, China recently experienced an outbreak of HIV-1 infection among heroin users. We studied HIV-1 incidence rates and associated risk factors for HIV-1 infection among heroin users residing in Pingxiang City. A total of 318 heroin users were followed from February 1998 through January 1999 (median follow-up: 8.1 months). Of these, 130 were prospectively followed from January through September 1999 (median follow-up: 8.3 months). HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus (HCV) incidence rates for each period were calculated. A generalized estimating equation approach was implemented to identify independent risk factors associated with HIV-1 infection across both periods. Among 318 study participants, 97.2% were men. The median age was 22 years. Approximately 60% reported sharing needles. HIV-1 prevalence at baseline was 15.4%. During the first follow-up period, HIV-1 incidence was 2.38 per 100 person years (py), and HCV incidence was 26.8 per 100 py. During the second follow-up period, HIV-1 incidence was 6.86 per 100 py, and HCV incidence was 28.9 per 100 py. After controlling for age and other factors, HCV seropositivity, history of sexually transmitted diseases, and sharing needles were independently associated with HIV-1 infection. These data suggest that HIV-1 incidence was rising over time in Pingxiang City, Guangxi Province. The high incidence of HCV heightens the importance of enhanced prevention programs to reduce injection and needle sharing among heroin users.     

TGFβ1基因对血管内皮细胞细胞外基质表达及与基质黏附的影响

Release of non-glycosylated polymeric immunoglobulin receptor protein

Using a recombinant vaccinia virus containing the T7 RNA polymerase, we have established a system for the transient expression of human polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in baby hamster kidney cells, a baby hamster-derived fibroblastic cell line. This transfection system resulted in the successful expression of pIgR in these cells, and Western blot analysis showed that human pIgR was expressed as two different molecular weight forms of 92 and 107 kDa. Treatment with endoglycosidase H showed that the difference between these two forms was due to the glycosylation status of the protein. In order to examine the functional role of glycosylation, we treated the transfected cells with tunicamycin, which prevents a core glycosylation step in the endoplasmic reticulum. Non-glycosylated pIgR was released into the culture medium of the transfected cells, albeit with extremely low efficiency. Taking these results together, we conclude that the glycosylation of pIgR may play a positive role in the efficient transport or release of free pIgR.

Ruthenium red affects the contractile apparatus but not sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release of skinned papillary muscle

Ruthenium red has been shown to have a positive inotropic effect on isolated perfused hearts. The cellular mechanism of this action is not clear. Ruthenium red is able to block the Ca²⁺ release channel in isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicle and reconstituted channel preparations. However, the effect of ruthenium red on SR Ca²⁺ release has not been studied in skinned cardiac muscle preparations. In the present study we investigated the actions of ruthenium red on both the characteristics of force generation by the contractile apparatus and Ca²⁺ release from the SR in chemically skinned rat papillary muscle. Ruthenium red (2 and 10 M) significantly increased the Ca²⁺ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus (decreasing Ca²⁺ required for the half-maximal response from 1.56±0.04 M to 1.46±0.05 M) but had no effect on the maximal Ca²⁺-activated force in triton X-100 treated fibers. This result may suggest one explanation for the positive inotropic effect of ruthenium red on the heart. On the other hand, ruthenium red had no significant effect on either caffeine-induced Ca²⁺ release or Ca²⁺-induced Ca²⁺ release from the SR in saponin-skinned muscle fibers. Lack of a blocking effect on SR Ca²⁺ release by ruthenium red in skinned fibers suggests that the SR Ca²⁺ channels in intact preparations have characteristics that are different from those of either vesicular or reconstituted channel preparations.
