乙醇对人绒毛孕酮分泌的影响

本工作利用灌流技术观察了四种不同浓度的乙醇(0.5％、1％、2.5％、5％)对妊娠早期人工流产新鲜胎盘绒毛分泌孕酮的影响。结果表明,乙醇具有促进孕酮分泌的作用,并存在剂量依赖的关系。提示乙醇可能破坏胎盘激素内分泌的平衡,从而影响胎儿的正常生长与发育。     

The gene for prolactin-inducible protein (PIP), uniquely expressed in exocrine organs,maps to chromosome 7

The hormonally responsive prolactin-inducible protein (PIP), gene is expressed in benign and malignant breast tumor tissues and in such normal exocrine organs as sweat, salivary, and lacrimal glands. In this communication we report the regional chromosome localization of the PIPgene locus to chromosome 7 by Southern hybridization to DNA from human-hamster somatic cell hybrids, and to 7q32–36 by in situ hybridization.     

Induction of protective immunity to monoclonal-antibody-defined Plasmodium falciparum antigens requires strong adjuvant in Aotus monkeys.

Monoclonal antibodies to the major Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface coat and rhoptry antigens were produced. A combination of the affinity-purified polypeptides with Freund complete adjuvant which was given three times completely protected an Aotus lemurinus azure (karotype VI) monkey against homologous challenge; however, immunization with the same polypeptides with a muramyl dipeptide derivative [MDP-Lys(L18)] did not protect a second Aotus monkey, even though comparable high antibody titers were induced.

EB病毒LMP2A特异性CTL的体外诱导及分析

用EBV LMP2A重组痘苗病毒 (rVV LMP2A )转染人树突状细胞 (DC ) ,转染后的DC分别在第 1、 7、 14天刺激相同MHC背景的T细胞 ,在IL 2作用下诱导LMP2A特异性CTL。用LDH释放法检测CTL杀伤活性 ;流式细胞术 (FACS )检测CTL诱导分化过程中CD3+ 、CD4 + 、CD8+ 、CD5 6 + 等细胞的分群变化 ;RT PCR检测细胞分化过程中FasLmRNA表达 ;生物活性法检测功能性细胞因子IFN γ的分泌。结果显示本法诱导的CTL对靶细胞有特异性杀伤活性 ,第 2次和第 3次DC刺激后杀伤活性有所上升 ;在CTL诱导分化的第 7、 14、 2 1天细胞分群以CD4 + 、CD8+ 细胞为主 ;RT PCR证实所诱导的细胞内有FasLmRNA的表达 ;随细胞培养天数的增加IFN γ分泌增加 ,在第 14天达到较高水平。研究表明重组痘苗病毒载体rVV LMP2A转染的DC刺激T细胞可诱导出EBV LMP2A特异性CTL。     

A new microcellular cytotoxicity test based on calcein AM release

We present a microtest for cell-mediated immunity, based on the use of the Tarasaki tray and calcein AM vital dye. The number of target cells needed has been reduced to 500 per test with a corresponding tenfold reduction in the number of effector cells needed. Results were read at the rate of 1 second per test using a fluorimeter attached to a microscope. Each reaction was also confirmed visually with the use of ethidium bromide as a counterstain for dead cells. The calcein AM dye used to stain the living cells was shown to have a low spontaneous leakage rate—less than 15% in 4 hours at 37°C. Dilutions of targets stained by calcein AM had a linear relationship with measured fluorescence values. NK cells, LAKs, and CTLs were readily detectable by this microtest. Quantitation of killing and kinetic analysis was readily performed with this test system. A significant positive correlation to ⁵¹Cr-release results was found. We conclude that the microtest should find wide application in studies of cell-mediated immunity.     

高血压急诊患者降压前后脑电图变化及临床意义

目的:观察高血压急诊快速降血压对大脑功能的影响情况。方法:监测56例病人含服 降压药前后的脑电活动和血压情况,并对所获资料进行分析。结果:2 h内收缩压(SBP)下降>5.33 kPa (40 mmHg)或舒张压(DBP)下降>4.00 kPa(30 mmHg)时,脑电图异常程度增加,θ及δ频段功率值明 显升高(P<0.01)。结论:降压急骤,可能会造成大脑功能损害     

蛋白酶激活受体2激动剂对肥大细胞释放组胺的影响

目的 研究PAR-2激动剂(tc-LIGRLO-NH2与SLIGKV-NH2)和胰蛋白酶对结肠肥大细胞释放组胺的影响。方法 结肠组织经酶消化后,细胞成份用全HBSS重新悬浮。激发过程在LP4试管中、37℃条件下完成。组胺水平用以玻璃纤维为基础的荧光方法测定。结果PAR-2激动剂tc-LIGRLO-NH2和SLIGKV-NH2均可诱导人结肠肥大细胞剂量依赖性组胺释放。浓度为100μmol／mL时,tc-LIGRLO-NH2和SLIGKV-NH2可分别引起比基础分泌量多出2．5倍和2倍的组胺释放,而反PAR-2激动剂tc-OLRGIL-NH2和VKGILS-NH2在实验浓度高至300μmol／mL时仍对组胺释放无影响。胰蛋白酶在1．0～100μg/mL间可引起剂量相关性组胺释放,胰蛋白酶抑制剂可抑制之。PAR-2激动剂tc-LIGRLO-NH2的作用从加样后1min开始,3min后完成。细胞经过百日咳毒素和代谢抑制剂预先处理后,几乎失去了对tc-LIGRLO-NH2、SLIGKV-NH2和胰蛋白酶刺激的反应性。结论 PAR-2激动剂和胰蛋白酶是高效的组胺释放刺激剂,其在人结肠炎症性疾病中起一定的作用。     

Evaluation of the Microbact-24E bacterial identification system.

The Microbact 24E (MB24E) system is a commercial microsystem for the identification of common clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenting Gram negative bacilli, and consists of dehydrated substrates distributed in the wells of microtitre trays. This system was compared with the API20E for the identification of 386 bacterial isolates, which included 284 clinical and 102 environmental organisms. There was 97% and 91% agreement for the identification of clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram negative bacilli, respectively. The identification of environmental isolates by both systems was less satisfactory. The API20E has a more extensive database than the MB24E and is thus more reliable for the identification of rare or unusual organisms, but the MB24E is cheaper, is easy and convenient to use, and is suitable for a routine microbiology laboratory.
