吸入麻醉药对人血浆和血小板血栓素B2生成与血小板聚集的影响

目的：探讨吸入麻醉剂氟烷、安氟醚和异氟醚对人血浆血栓素Ｂ２（ＴＸＢ２），血小板ＴＸＢ２生成与血小板聚集的影响。方法：血浆ＴＸＢ２和血小板ＴＸＢ２的生成量用放免分析法测量，血小板聚集率用比浊法测量。结果：吸入１ＭＡＣ氟烷３０分钟后，血浆ＴＸＢ２浓度、二磷酸腺苷（ＡＤＰ）和肾上腺素（Ｅ）诱导的血小板ＴＸＢ２生成量与血小板聚集率显著下降，吸入１ＭＡＣ安氟醚３０分钟后，血浆ＴＸＢ２浓度和血小板ＴＸＢ２生成量与血小板聚集率亦显著下降，其降低的程度比氟烷轻。吸入１ＭＡＣ异氟醚对上述指标无明显影响。血小板ＴＸＢ２生成的减少与血小板聚集率的下降呈显著正相关。结论：氟烷显著抑制血小板聚集，安氟醚次之，异氟醚对血小板聚集无明显影响。其机制可能与氟烷和安氟醚通过抑制血小板上血栓素Ａ２受体的亲和力，降低ＡＤＰ和Ｅ诱导的血小板ＴＸＢ２的生成有关。     

截瘫患者血红蛋白水平的10年回顾性分析

通过对97例截瘫住院患者连续10年的Hb测定结果进行回顾性分组研究,结果表明,无并发症组10年中Hb分布较一致,其均值与正常人比较无显著性差异(P>0.05),但12.3％的病例Hb水平低于正常人下限;当截瘫并发泌尿系感染、尿毒症或难治性褥疮等病症时,则导致Hb水平的降低。提出Hb测定结果,可做为在整体水平上观察截瘫患者的治疗及康复效果的指标。     

支气管肺泡灌洗液、血清、尿液中CEA测定对肺癌诊断价值的研究

应用放射免疫方法联合检测支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)、血清、尿液中癌胚抗原(CEA)含量,结果显示:肺癌患者BALF、血清、尿液中CEA均有不同程度的升高,与结核及肺良性疾病组间有显著差异(P<0.01)。其阳性率分别为63.64％,57.38％,27.58％,以BALF阳性率为最高,这对肺癌的诊断及判断预后提供了方便可行的检测手段。     

人自然杀伤细胞抑制性受体P58.2基因克隆与鉴定

目的：P58．2基因克隆与鉴定。方法：采用RT—PCR技术，从正常人外周血单个核细胞中扩增自然杀伤细胞抑制性受体P58．2基因全长cDNA，经酶切后构建重组克隆载体，双酶切和测序鉴定。结果：RT—PCR获得了预期的扩增产物P58．2全长cDNA，成功构建了pSPORT1-P58．2重组克隆载体，酶切、酶谱分析与预期结果相符。DNA测序结果与GenBank登记的人P58．2cDNA全长碱基序列一致。结论：pSPORT1-P58．2重组克隆载体构建成功；P58．2基因序列与文献报道一致，为下一步构建表达载体和基因转染等工作打下良好的基础。

The prevalence of LRRK2 Gly2385Arg variant in Chinese Han population with Parkinson's disease.

We conducted a case-control study to determine the prevalence of the LRRK2 Gly2385Arg variant in patients with Parkinson's disease in Han population in mainland China. Heterozygous LRRK2 Gly2385Arg variant was identified in 14 of 235 patients with Parkinson's disease (5.69%), but not in 214 unrelated healthy controls. Multivariate analysis indicated the frequency of Gly2385Arg variant in the female patients with early age at onset is higher than their male counterparts. The founder haplotype analysis showed the variant carriers shared the same founder. Clinically, the LRRK2 Gly2385Arg carriers presented with classical Parkinson's disease symptoms. Our study indicates that the LRRK2 Gly2385Arg variant is a potential ethnic-specific genetic risk factor of Parkinson's disease within Chinese Han ethnicity.     

Role of mast cells and monoamines in the thrombocytopaenia and mortality elicited by tumour necrosis factor in mice.

We explored the thrombocytopaenia elicited by the i.v. injection of mouse recombinant tumour necrosis factor (TNF) in mice. Injection of 10 micrograms of TNF led to a thrombocytopaenia (evident after 0.5 hr) which was caused by decreased platelet survival, as seen by the injection of labelled platelets. TNF-induced thrombocytopaenia was not prevented by heparin, nor by depletion of either fibrinogen or C'. TNF-induced thrombocytopaenia was markedly attenuated in mice treated with reserpine, an agent that depletes monoamines from mast cells and other cells, and in the mast-cell-deficient WWv mice. In vitro, TNF elicited a modest release of monoamine from peritoneal mast cells and from a mast cell line. When mice are injected with 3H-serotonin (3H-5HT) before TNF, TNF injection increased the plasma 3H-5HT content 1 hr later, modifications absent in reserpine pretreated or mast-cell-deficient mice. 3H-5HT content of the small intestine was markedly depleted in TNF-injected mice, suggesting that this organ is the source of the plasma 3H-5HT. Drop in body temperature and mortality induced by TNF were also attenuated in mast-cell-deficient, and in reserpine pretreated mice. These results indicate that TNF can induce a release of monoamines from mast cells, mainly from those of the small intestine, a process that contributes to TNF-induced thrombocytopaenia and mortality.
