持续压力超负荷对兔左心室细胞凋亡的影响

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of chronic pressure overload on the apoptosis of the left ventricle myocytes in rabbits. METHODS: Rabbit models of chronic pressure overload-induced heart failure were prepared in which dynamic changes of apoptotic myocytes in the left ventricle were observed by way of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay. RESULTS: Only a few apoptotic cells was observed in the sham-operated group, while in the experimental group, the apoptotic left ventricle myocytes significantly increased after operation, presenting a peak level between day 3 and day 7. Seven days after the operation, the apoptotic myocytes began to decrease and till day 14, the apoptotic cell number had been smaller than that measured on day 1. When signs of heart failure set in, the apoptotic myocytes were again increased (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: During chronic pressure overload, myocyte apoptosis in the left ventricle is elevated at the early stages and undulates subsequently, with the peak occurring before hypertrophy is obvious.     

Different postnatal ontogenic profiles of neurons containing beta (beta 1, beta 2 and beta 3) subunit mRNAs of GABAA receptor in the rat thalamus.

The postnatal ontogeny of neurons containing different GABAA receptor beta (beta 1, beta 2 and beta 3) subunit mRNAs were examined in the rat thalamus using in situ hybridization histochemistry. Neurons containing beta 1 or beta 2 subunit mRNA developed remarkably postnatally, while most neurons were already strongly labeled with beta 3 probe at birth. However, beta 3 subunit mRNA decreased rapidly after birth, few cells being labeled with this probe at day 35 and thereafter.

Alterations in the superoxide dismutase gene of an isoniazid-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Genetic analysis of a set of six Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains differing in virulence for the guinea pig revealed an altered restriction enzyme fragmentation pattern associated with the superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene in a low-virulence, isoniazid-resistant strain. In addition, it was found that the SOD enzyme produced by the isoniazid-resistant strain differed in its electrophoretic mobility from the SOD of other M. tuberculosis strains. Detailed analysis of these strain-specific differences showed that the restriction fragment length polymorphism resulted from the presence of a copy of a repetitive element 552 bp upstream of the SOD gene and that the anomalous electrophoretic mobility arose from a single nucleotide change, resulting in replacement of an aspartic acid residue by histidine in the SOD enzyme of the isoniazid-resistant strain. Possible relationships between genetic changes and strain-dependent differences in virulence are discussed.     

长效驱避剂的筛选及剂型研究

本文以埃及伊蚊为试验对象,对新合成的4种化合物驱蚊效果进行了测定,其中有3种超过了DETA。当DETA加入保护剂或和其它化合物复配后,可延长防蚊时间。试验表明增大驱避剂的浓度和延长防蚊时间不成等比例关系。复配制剂和保护剂的研究是延长驱蚊效果的重要途径。

Chromosome mapping of Rett syndrome: a likely candidate region on the telomere of Xq.

Rett syndrome (RS) is a disease of neurological development. First reported 30 years ago in 1966, its biological and genetic basis remains obscure. RS is commonly thought of as an X linked dominant disorder lethal to hemizygous males. The few familial cases would arise through mosaicism or because of occasional females failing to manifest the disorder through skewed X inactivation in relevant cell types. We have one family where the mother and daughter are affected with RS, and which can be explained according to this hypothesis. If the alternative proposal of Thomas (1996) is correct, that the lack of males affected by such disorders is the result of a high male to female ratio of germline mutations rather than of gestational lethality, then the RS gene should be located on the grandpaternal chromosome. Genomic screening with markers covering the whole X chromosome has been performed. Studies using multiple informative markers indicate that the RS locus is likely to be located close to one of the X chromosome telomeres. Further investigations in eight additional families suggest the most likely region for the RS gene to be is the distal part of Xq (Xq28).     

人体膀胱移行上皮癌细胞系(TSB-90,TSB-91)的建立及其生物学特性

从1例膀胱癌患者的癌组织培养中，分离得到2个不同生长特性的悬浮生长型细胞系，定名为TSB-90和TSB-91。在培养过程中，对其生物学特性进行了细胞和亚细胞水平的探讨，并进行了核型分析。发现2个细胞系核型的演化趋势有明显差异，生物学特性也不尽相同。这可能与膀胱癌组织中细胞的遗传异质性和分化程度有关。对其机制和细节有待进一步深入研究。
