杀虫剂点滴处理后德国小蠊的生理行为反应

本文报告了应用三种不同类型杀虫剂ＤＤＶＰ，残杀成和溴江菊酯点滴处理敏感株德国小蠊（Ｂｌａｔｔｅｌｌａｇｅｒｍａｎｉｃａ）不同虫期后的药物敏感性以及带荚虫脱荚及其孵化情况。试验得出了不同虫期不同时间的ＬＤ５０植和７２ｈ不同虫期对这３种药物敏感性的显著性测定（Ｐ值）的结果。发现不同虫期对这３种药物的敏感性之间关系的共同特点是：１．幼虫与雄虫敏感性差别显著（在ＤＤＶＰ和残杀威中）或者非常显著（在溴氰菊酯）；２．雌虫与雄虫间差别在３种药物处理中均显著；３．雌虫与带荚虫在ＤＤＶＰ和溴氰菊酯处理中差别也非常显著。试验同时显示，３种药物不同浓度处理对德国小蠊脱荚及其孵化有十分显著的影响。其总的趋势是随着药物浓度的增高脱荚率明显地增加；相反，脱荚的孵化率则随着浓度的增加明显的下降。实验并得出脱荚的孵化与否和卵荚长度无明显关系。

CFTR 5T variant has a low penetrance in females that is partially attributable to its haplotype.

PURPOSE: The study's purpose was to understand the molecular basis for different clinical phenotypes of the 5T variant, a tract of 5 thymidines in intron 8 of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which disrupts processing of CFTR mRNA and reduces synthesis from the corresponding CFTR alleles. METHOD: We analyzed the polymorphic TG dinucleotide repeat adjacent to the 5T variant in intron 8 and the codon 470 in exon 10. Patients selected for this study were positive for both the 5T variant and the major cystic fibrosis mutation, Delta F508. Almost all Delta F508 mutation alleles occur in a 10TG-9T-470M haplotype. Therefore, it is possible to determine the haplotype of the 5T variant in trans. RESULTS: Of the 74 samples analyzed, 41 (55%) were 11TG-5T-470M, 31 (42%) were 12TG-5T-470V, and 2 (3%) were 13TG-5T-470M. Of the 49 cases for which we had clinical information, 17.6% of females (6/34) and 66.7% of males (10/15) showed symptoms resembling atypical cystic fibrosis. The haplotype with the highest penetrance in females (42% or 5/12) and more than 80% (5/6) in males is 12TG-5T-470V. We also evaluated 12 males affected with congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens and positive for the 5T variant; 10 of 12 had the 12TG-5T-470V haplotype. CONCLUSION: Overall, the 5T variant has a milder clinical consequence than previously estimated in females. The clinical presentations of the 5T variant are associated with the 5T-12TG-470M haplotype.     

Aberrations of growth factor control in metastatic follicular thyroid cancerin vitro

The aggressiveness of follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) varies widely, and metastasis is the primary cause of death. Uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells may be associated with loss of growth factor control. We investigated the effects of stimulating (epidermal growth factor [EGF]; thyreotropin [TSH] in low concentrations) and inhibiting growth factors (transforming growth factor beta 1 [TGF beta 1]; TSH in high concentrations) on invasion and growth of FTC cell lines from the thyroid tumor (FTC133) and from the lymph node (FTC236) and lung (FTC238) metastases of the same patient. Invasion—penetration through an 8m pore membrane, covered by Matrigel (basement membrane)—and growth were measured using the MTT-method. EGF (10 ng/ml) and TSH in low concentrations (1 mU/ml) stimulated invasion and growth of all FTC cell lines, but the amplitude of stimulation differed significantly. The parental cell line FTC133 was considerably more responsive to growth factor stimulation than the metastatic clones. Invasion of FTC133 was enhanced by 42% (EGF;p<0.02) and 21% (TSH;p<0.01), invasion of FTC236 by 8% (EGF;p<0.02) and 8% (TSH;p<0.01), and invasion of FTC238 by 9% (EGF;p<0.02) and 8% (TSH;p<0.01). Conversely, invasion and growth of FTC133 were significantly more inhibited by TGF beta 1 (10 ng/ml) and supraphysiologic concentrations of TSH (100 mU/ml) than the cell lines from the lymph node and lung metastases. At day 7, invasion of FTC133 was inhibited by 32% (TGF beta 1;p<0.02) and 21% (TSH;p<0.01), invasion of FTC236 by 18% (TGF beta 1;p<0.02) and 11% (TSH;p<0.01), and invasion of FTC238 by 16% (TGF beta 1;p<0.02) and 12% (TSH;p<0.01). Moreover, we analyzed growth factor independence in minimally supplemented or unsupplemented medium. Growth, but no invasion was evident when cells were cultured completely unsupplemented over 7 days. These results suggest that metastatic FTCs may have developed by escaping from the normal control of TSH and other growth factors.

男性抗精子抗体对体外受精一胚胎移植的影响

目的;评价男性抗精子抗体对体外受精-胚胎移植(IVF-ET)的影响。方法:以ELISA方法测定施行IVF-ET的150对不育夫妇中男方精浆抗精子抗体(AsAb)并分组:AsAb阳性组22例,AsAb阴性组128例。对比分析抗精子抗体及抗体类型对体外受精、卵裂和早期胚胎发育的影响,同时对移植后的妊娠率和流产率进行分析。结果:AsAb阳性组体外受精数明显低于AsAb阴性组(P<0.01),两组的卵裂数则无明显差异(P>0.05),而在阳性组中,不同抗体类型间体外受精、卵裂及胚胎质量无明显差异(P>0.05)。在移植日,AsAb阳性组的I级胚胎较阴性组低,而ⅢⅣ级胚胎和2原核受精细胞(2PN)明显增加(P<0.01)。两组移植后临床妊娠流产率无显著差异(P>0.05)。结论:AsAb能明显降低精子体外受精能力,对早期胚胎发育有损害。精子体处理不能完全清除AsAb对IVF影响。
