Elucidating chromatin and nuclear domain architecture with electron spectroscopic imaging

Electron microscopy has been the ‘gold standard’ of spatial resolution for studying the structure of the cell nucleus. Electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) offers advantages over conventional transmission electron microscopy by eliminating the need for heavy-atom contrast agents. ESI also provides mass-dependent and element-specific information at high resolution, permitting the distinguishing of structures that are primarily composed of protein, DNA, or RNA. The technique can be applied to understand the structural consequences of epigenetic modifications, such as modified histones, on chromatin fiber morphology. ESI can also be applied to elucidate the multifunctional behavior of subnuclear ‘organelles’ such as the nucleolus and promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies. The authors dedicate this paper to the memory of Ying Ren (1961–2007). We all benefited from knowing her. Our research advanced through the technical creativity she provided.     

气功外气对人鼻咽癌细胞株的抑制作用和DNA合成影响的初步探讨

为寻找祖国医学治疗鼻咽癌的新途径,我们进行了气功外气对体外培养的人鼻咽低分化鳞癌细胞株(CNE—2)的抑制作用试验,实验共进行了三次,光镜观察受功组比对照组生长缓慢,外气对细胞生长的抑制率分别为33％(P<0.05);43％(P<0.05);55％(P<0.001)。同时进行了~3H—TdR掺入试验,观察外气对CNE—2细胞株DNA合成的影响。实验进行了四次,其抑制率分别为:34％(P<0.01);35％(P<0.01);39％(P<0.01),53％(P<0.001),模仿者为17％(P>0.05)。     

大肠癌“移行粘膜”病理变化研究——粘液组化、免疫组化及电镜观察

对200例大肠癌旁“移行粘膜”进行了粘液组化HID／AB及PAT／KOH／PAS检测,单克隆抗体MC3和CEA免疫组化标记,凝集素PNA、UEA－1及DBA受体测定,扫描电镜观察。其结果与10例正常直肠粘膜、130例癌组织、155例各型腺瘤型息肉及3－5个月胎儿大肠粘膜进行对照。结果表明大肠粘膜从良性到恶性的各阶段粘液组化及免疫组化的改变有显著差异（P＜0．05或P＜0．01）,癌旁“移行粘膜”也存在类似癌及胎儿大肠的不成熟性病理变化,异常范围88．0％的病例在2－3cm以内。     

家兔臂旁内侧核在“人中”穴呼吸效应中的作用研究

Experiments were performed on 27 rabbits, bivagotomized, gallamine triethiodide immobilized and artificially ventilated. The effects of electric stimulation of "Renzhong" (Du26) area, NPBM separately, and "Renzhong" area and nucleus parabrachialis medialis (NPBM) simultaneously, on phrenic nerve discharge were observed before and after electolytic and chemical lesion of NPBM. Evoked potential (EP) could be recorded in NPBM during the electric stimulation "Renzhong" area. Electric stimulation of the same site of NPBM where the EP was recorded could induce respiratory response and change the effect of electric stimulation of "Renzhong" area on respiration. But after electrolytic and chemical lesion of NPBM, stimulation of NPBM could no longer induce the respiratory response mentioned above and could not change the "Renzhong" effect on respiration either. These results suggest that NPBM might take part in respiratory effects of "Renzhong" area stimulation, but is not essential to it.     

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.     

不同功率半导体激光对声带热损伤的比较

目的：探讨Diomed－25半导体激光不同功率对声带热损伤的程度,为临床应用激光治疗声带病变提供实验依据。方法：选用犬作为实验动物,选定激光功率分别为5、10、20W,照射时间为2s,以接触式照射活体犬的声带后,测量组织热损伤的浓度和宽度,并通过大体标本、光镜下观察声带局部损伤情况。结果：照射时间为2s,激光输出功率为5、10、20W时,其组织热损伤的深度分别为0．2－0．4、0．4－0．6、0．8－1．0mm;热损伤的宽度分别为1．0－1．7、1．7－2．0、2．0－2．6mm。在作用时间相同情况下,激光功率不同,对声带组织的热损伤程度有显（P＜0．05）。结论：选择合适功率的半导体激光对声带病变的治疗是安全、有效的。

目的：研究补体4基因多态性与体外循环中补体系统激活程度和肺功能障碍之间的关系。方法：选择武汉市及周边地区在体外循环（CPB）下进行心脏直视手术的患儿156例,于术前抽血用交叉免疫电泳法进行补体4基因型分析。分别于CPB开始前,CPB结束时以及鱼精蛋白中和肝素后10min抽取动脉血样,以放免法对补体3和4活化产物C3a和C4a进行测定。同时记录肺顺应性。结果：补体4基因型AABB,AOBB,OOBB,AABO及AAOO出现频率分别为51．28%,17.95%,4.49%,19.87%及6．41％,CPB结束时C4a水平无明显升高,C3a水平显著升高。鱼精蛋白中和肝素后10min时C4a和C3a水平显著升高,以OOBB组升高最显著,其次为AOBB组;同时OOBB组肺顺应性下降最显著,其次为AOBB组,结论：体外循环由替代途径激活补体系统,鱼精蛋白－肝素复合物由经典途径激活补体系统,国人补体4基因型中,OOBB型出现的频率较白种人高,该基因型在体外循环中补体系统被激活及肺功能受损程度最严重。     

组织多普勒成像和血流多普勒频谱研究冠心病患者左室舒张功能

目的：将组织多普勒成像（TDI）和彩色多普勒超声技术结合研究冠心病虱的左室舒张功能（LVDF）。方法：在心尖四腔心切面上用彩色多普勒超声检测80例心病患和79例相同年龄组正常人舒张早、晚期二尖瓣口血流频谱的最大速度（Vmax)时间速度积分（TVI）,同时用TDI技术检测左室外侧壁心肌收缩、舒张期运动频谱的Vmax和TVI,所有数据进行统计学分析。结果：两种技术所检测的正常人舒张早期峰的Vmax和TVI随着年龄的增长而降低,而舒张晚期峰的Vmax和TVI逐渐增高,冠心病患的数据变化与年龄关系不明显,主要与其心肌的病理变化程度有关,当二尖瓣口血流频谱出现“假性正常”、无法准确判断LVDF时,TDI技术的敏感性较高,它还可按检查的设计任意测量某一部位的心肌运动。结论：用血流多普勒频谱判断LVDF在一般情况下简单、方便。TDI技术可同时对左室收缩、舒张功能进行全面判断。
