Study on hemostatic mechanism of fully soluble hemostatic fiber.

Fully soluble hemostatic fiber (FHF) is made from cotton yarn through a series of chemical reactions with NaOH and chloroacetic acid. The major component of FHF is carboxymethylcellulose. FHF is a kind of biodegradation macromolecule material that can disassociate into a low-molecular-weight compound or a simple substance by hydrolytic and enzymatic courses. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the hemostatic mechanism of FHF. The study indicated that FHF can stop bleeding by physical, chemical and physiological routes. In the physical route, expansion of carboxymethylcellulose in FHF stops bleeding by forming a mechanical clog after contacting with the blood. In the chemical route, the platelets can quickly aggregate around FHF and stimulate releasing and disaggregating reactions, after contacting with the rough surface of FHF, producing thrombus and hemostasis. In the physiological route, gluey particles with negative charges can activate intrinsic coagulation systems by activating the blood coagulation factor XII after FHF dissolution.

Nerve growth factor and tyrosine kinase A in human salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma: expression patterns and effects on in vitro invasive behavior.

PURPOSE: Perineural invasion is a frequent occurrence in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and may prevent complete surgical resection. Studies have indicated that nerve growth factor (NGF) and its high-affinity receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) may play a role in perineural invasion in several malignancies in which perineural invasion is observed. The present study was conducted to investigate the expression of NGF and TrkA in salivary ACC and to examine the effects of NGF on adhesion, migration and invasion capacities of a salivary ACC cell line (SACC-83) in vitro. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Expression of NGF and TrkA was explored using immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissues of 32 cases of salivary ACC. The effects of NGF on in vitro adhesion, migration, and invasion capacities of the SACC-83 cell line were examined using an MTT assay and a modified Boyden chamber assay respectively. RESULTS: In ACC specimens, 31 (96.9%) and 32 (100%) tumors showed immunoreactivity for NGF and TrkA respectively. Significant correlations were found between NGF/TrkA expression levels and perineural invasion (P < .05). In cell adhesion assay, the percent adherences of SACC-83 cells co-cultured with 25 ng/ml NGF at 1.5 hours and 5, 25 ng/ml NGF at 6 hours were significantly higher than that co-cultured with 0 ng/ml NGF (P < .05). However, high concentration of NGF (500 ng/ml) resulted in a significant inhibition of invasion (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Overexpression of NGF and TrkA in human salivary ACC tissues may constitute a reason for perineural invasion in salivary ACC.     

Frequency of seroreactors to Legionella among the patients with pulmonary infections

A prospective study was conducted with patients with pulmonary infections who were consecutively admitted to the three community hospitals in Benghu from July 1986 to May 1987, and to the children's hospital in Nanjing from September 1986 to January 1987. Antibodies to Lpi-8, Lm, Ld, and Lg were measured by the micro-agglutination test. During the study period, 150 adult patients (100 pairs sera) and 212 control healthy people and 110 pairs sera of childhood patients and 173 children without respiratory tract infections were investigated. The diagnosis of legionellosis was based on seroconversion (fourfold rise in titer to greater than 1:32 or static titer of greater than 1:32) and clinical and radiographic features of legionnaires' disease. About 11% legionella infection in hospitalized adult patients with pulmonary infections, and about 5.45% in children with atypical pneumonias.     

四氧嘧啶诱发糖尿病大鼠血管紧张素的变化

实验观察了四氧嘧啶诱发糖尿病大鼠连续饲养１１０ｄ后体内肾素一血管紧张素系统的变化。结果表明，血浆和心脏的血管紧张素Ⅱ含量无明显变化，而肾脏的ＡｎｇⅡ含量却明显低于正常对照组。另外，心脏的心钠素（ＡＮＰ）含量在糖尿病大鼠与正常对照组之间无差别，血中的糖化血红蛋白含量基本无变化。上述结果表明，糖尿病大鼠早期心脏可能无明显损伤，而肾脏的肾素一血管紧张素系统活性降低。     

Biological significance of enhanced mitochondrial ketogenesis during the early stages after 70% hepatectomy in rats

Ketogenic capacity of mitochondria from the remnant liver of 70% hepatectomized rats was studied in relation to mitochondrial phosphorylative activity. Ketogenic capacity increased to a maximum of 6.04 +/- 0.39 from 3.84 +/- 0.13 of control, with an enhancement of mitochondrial phosphorylative activity 6 hr after hepatectomy, and then decreased to normal levels within 24 hr. Adenylate energy charge, (ATP + 1/2ADP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP), of the remnant liver decreased to 0.825 +/- 0.006 as compared to 0.849 +/- 0.002 of control 6 hr after operation. At 12 hr, total ketone body concentrations of the arterial blood increased concomitant with a fall in ketone body ratio (acetoacetate/3-hydroxybutyrate) which reflects the decreased liver mitochondrial redox (NAD+/NADH) state. These findings suggest that an enhancement of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis occurs concomitant with an enhancement of mitochondrial phosphorylative activity in the remnant liver in response to a decreased energy charge after 70% hepatectomy.
