左旋四氢巴马汀对单个豚鼠心室肌细胞钙电流的阻滞作用

AIM: To study the effect of l-tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP) on L-type calcium channel. METHODS: Patch clamp technique (whole cell recording) was used to record L-Ca2+ current in single cardiac myocyte. RESULTS: 1) l-THP 1, 10, and 100 micromol.L-1 reduced ICa-max from (999 +/- 93) pA to (700 +/- 111) pA, (582 +/- 66) pA, and (420 +/- 112) pA (n = 6, P < 0.01), respectively. 2) l-THP reduced the voltage at half-maximal inactivation (V1/2) of L-Ca2+ channel to more negative potentials by 9 mV (n = 5, P < 0.05). 3) l-THP caused both tonic and use-dependent reduction of Ca2+ current. Tonic block of l-THP on Ca2+ current was 46% +/- 8% (n = 6, P < 0.01). The degree of use dependent blocking was 13.5% +/- 2.4% (n = 6, P < 0.05) at 1 Hz, the degree increased to 44% +/- 5% (n = 6, P < 0.01) at 3 Hz. 4) l-THP delayed half-recovery time of Ca2+ channel recovery from inactivity from (94 +/- 39) ms to (170 +/- 42) ms(n = 6, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: l-THP has a moderate inhibitory effect on L-Ca2+ current.     

The von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene is not mutated in sporadic ovarian carcinomas

The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene has been shown to be mutated frequently not only in neoplasms from von Hippel-Lindau disease, but also in sporadic clear cell renal carcinoma. In order to reveal the possible role of the VHL tumor suppressor gene in the development of ovarian carcinoma, a total of 71 primary sporadic ovarian carcinomas were analyzed for the presence of mutations in the exon 2 and 3 of the VHL tumor suppressor gene, using the polymerase chain reaction with single strand conformation polymorphism analysis. No mutations in the VHL gene were found in any of the tumors analyzed. This result shows that the VHL tumor suppressor gene does not play a major role in the tumorigenesis of sporadic ovarian carcinoma.

Use of YAG laser combined with mucosal suturing for the treatment of polypoid vocal cord]

To improve low-pitched voices in cases with polypoid vocal cords, YAG laser irradiation combined with a mucosal suturing technique was attempted in 9 female cases with severe polypoid changes in their vocal cords. A YAG laser beam (5 to 10 W) was used to irradiate the upper surface of the polypoid vocal cord. The polypoid content of the cord was gradually coagulated, and the free edge of the cord appeared to slide up toward the burned area. The polypoid content was then removed and squeezed through an open wound made in the burned area using a conventional method. Bleeding was successfully controlled using the laser. After the excessive mucosal margin was trimmed and the contour of the vocal cord was adjusted, the wound was closed by 7-0 monofilament absorbable suture. Suturing was relatively easy because the mucosal edge was also coagulated. Postoperative evaluations of voice quality revealed an improvement in the GRBAS scale of voice quality as well as an elevation in voice pitch and an upwards shift in the voice range in all cases.     

p27kip1及p53基因蛋白与恶性卵巢上皮性肿瘤预后的关系

目的　探讨 p2 7kip1和 p5 3基因蛋白在恶性卵巢上皮性肿瘤中的表达及其与预后的关系。 方法　1992年 11月至 1999年 12月应用免疫组化检测 5 6例恶性卵巢上皮性肿瘤石蜡切片中 p2 7kip1和p5 3基因蛋白表达情况 ,并应用Kaplan -Mier法及多变量Cox比例风险回归模型分析患者预后。 结果　 5 6例恶性卵巢上皮性肿瘤患者的 p2 7kip1基因蛋白表达率为 4 1 1% ;p5 3基因蛋白表达率为 4 8 2 % ,两种基因蛋白表达比较 ,差异无显著性 (P >0 0 5 )。p2 7kip1及 p5 3基因蛋白表达与肿瘤的病理分级有关 ( P <0 0 5 ) ,与其他临床病理特征无关。单因素分析 :p2 7kip1及 p5 3基因蛋白表达与患者的中位生存时间、生存曲线各时点生存率密切相关。 结论　p2 7kip1基因蛋白表达对恶性卵巢上皮性肿瘤的预后有显著影响 ,而 p5 3基因蛋白表达与预后关系不显著
