Fluorescence and Laser Photon Counting: Measurements of Epithelial [Ca2+]i or [Na+]i with Ciliary Beat Frequency

We describe a system we developed that enabled simultaneous measurements of either epithelial calcium ion concentration ([Ca²⁺]i) or sodium ion concentration [Na⁺]i with the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in native ciliated epithelia using either Fura-2 (AM) or SBFI (AM) ratiometric fluorescence photon counting along with nonstationary laser light scattering. Studies were performed using native epithelial tissues obtained from ovine tracheae. The dynamic range of the laser light-scattering system was determined by a simulated light beating experiment. The nonstationary CBF was demonstrated by the time-frequency analysis of the raw photon count sequences of backscattered heterodyne photons from cultured and native epithelia. Calibrations of calcium and sodium ion concentrations were performed using the respective Fura-2 and SBFI impermanent salts as well as in native epithelia. The cumulative responses of 10^–6, 10^–5, and 10^–4} M nifedipine on [Ca²⁺]i together with the CBF as well as the cumulative responses of 10^–5, 10^–4, and 10^–3 M amiloride on [Na⁺]i together with the CBF were also determined. Nifedipine decreased [Ca²⁺]i but had no effect on CBF. Amiloride decreased [Na⁺]i and CBF. Stimulation of CBF corresponded with either an increase of [Na⁺]i or an increase of [Ca²⁺]i. Decreases of [Na⁺]i or substantial decreases of [Ca²⁺]i were associated with decreases in the CBF. These data demonstrate the utility of this system for investigating the regulatory mechanisms of intracellular ions dynamics and the CBF in native epithelia. © 1998 Biomedical Engineering Society.

SLE患者淋巴细胞膜上IL-2R表达的动态分析

本实验采用Wu Tac单克隆抗体的间接荧光抗体法,动态观察了系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者和正常供血员(对照组)的外周血淋巴细胞经PHA刺激后,于不同时间(0、24、48、72小时)内细胞膜上白细胞介素2受体(IL-2R)的表达。结果表明在给予PHA刺激培养24、48和72小时后,与对照组比较SLE患者淋巴细胞的IL-2R表达明显下降,提示了SLE的T淋巴细胞反应性降低可能与被激活的T细胞表面IL-2R的表达功能缺陷有关。此结果将有助于进一步探讨SLE的免疫调节紊乱的发生机制。

偶联剂CGE（N）—R型处理前后牙本质的表面状态及其...

In order to research the states of dentine surface and dentine surface primed with coupling agent, we used microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and solid fluorescence method. Observed under microscope, patterning of dentinal tubules and their poles was very explicit; through the view of interface between coupling agent adsorbed and human dentine powder by TEM, it was revealed that the coupling agent was adsorbed onto the dentine surface as if it "grew out" of the dentine surface; through examination of interface between the coupling agent adsorbed and dentine surface by fluorescence spectrum, which differed from that of the coupling agent or dentine surface, i.e., this fluorescence spectrum of interface changed obviously (red shift). This phenomenon indicated that there was a chemical reaction occurring between tooth surface and adsorbed coupling agent. Therefore we can conclude that the three examinations are necessary to provide the argument for establishment of chemical bonding mechanism between dentine and coupling agent.     

Primary study of iontophoresis of zinc ion in treatment of retinitis pigmentosa

We report here the preliminary effects of zinc iontophoresis in treatment of 26 Rp patients who had decreased zinc serum level or abnormal ratio of serum copper to zinc. Through more than 20 to 30 times of therapy, the vision of 15.38% eyes increased more than "3 lines", 4% eyes increased more than 5 degrees in the visual field, 13.46% eyes improved in dark adaptation threshold (greater than 1.0), the visual functions of the rest eyes were slightly improved or unimproved. The fundus didn't change before & after treatment. There were no changes of ERG in 8 eyes of 4 cases. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages between Zn iontophoresis and Zn compound taken orally, the improvement of vision by direct electric current therapy, the relationship between the metabolism of Zn element and Vit A and influence of Zn over the mechanism of dark adaptation were also briefly discussed.
