Exogenous advanced glycosylation end products induce diabetes-like vascular dysfunction in normal rats: a factor in diabetic retinopathy

BACKGROUND. Diabetic retinopathy has been shown to be directly associated with the degree and duration of hyperglycemia, and advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) have been implicated in this pathological process. The purpose of the experiments reported here was to study the effect of AGE deposition on retinal vascular damage which leads to diabetic retinopathy. METHODS. Intravenous injection of exogenous AGEs was used to treat wild-type non-diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats. One of the two retinal slides from each animal was treated using immunohistochemical staining to label retinal vascular AGE deposition, the other H&E staining for counting of capillary pericytes. The results were compared with the findings in untreated wild-type and diabetic controls and in rats treated with unmodified rat serum albumin (RSA). RESULTS. After 2 weeks of continuous treatment, AGEs were identified in the retinal vascular tissue of the AGE-RSA-injected group. The average number of retinal capillary pericytes per 10x100 microscope power field was 4.313+/-0.34 (mean +/- SD) in the AGE-RSA-injected group, compared with 5.798+/-0.481 in the control group ( P<0.01). CONCLUSION. These experiments demonstrate that AGEs, independent of other metabolic factors, can induce vascular change resembling that of diabetic retinopathy.

Factors affecting penetration of zona-free hamster ova

The sperm penetration assay is an expensive, time-consuming test to assess male fertility in vitro. Although some investigators are enthusiastic in its application, others feel that it is not sensitive or specific enough to be used as part of the routine infertility evaluation. Indeed, this bioassay is not a faithful reproduction of in vivo conditions. However, if the SPA is abnormal, it is unlikely that sperm will fertilize a human ovum in vivo. Conversely, a normal SPA does not guarantee successful in vivo fertilization. No bioassay can be absolute in its predictive value, but false-negative results must be kept to a minimum for this bioassay to be of any clinical significance. Each laboratory performing the SPA should optimize the assay for sensitivity, reproducibility, and minimization of false-negative results and then establish normal and abnormal ranges of its own. If the limitations of the SPA are kept in mind, and if we employ it very selectively, it may still be useful.     

小剂量芬太尼和氟哌啶静注对吸入七氟醚快速麻醉诱导的影响

为观察小剂量芬太尼和氟哌啶对吸入七氟醚快速麻醉诱导的影响。分别于吸入七氟醚后５ｍｉｎ（第１组）和吸前２ｍｉｎ（第２组）静注小剂量芬太尼（２μｇ／ｋｇ）及氟哌啶（０．１ｍｇ／ｋｇ）。结果：病人意识消失时间第１组（８７±３７）ｓ，第２组（３９±１１）ｓ（Ｐ＜０．０１）；深呼吸次数第１组（１４．０±５．３）次；第２组（４．０±０．７）次（Ｐ＜０．０１）。２组病人诱导及插管过程中循环反应相对较小。提示：在小剂量芬太尼及氟哌啶静注基础上吸入七氟醚继续行麻醉诱导其临床效果更佳，插管反应更小     

Empty sella syndrome in childhood

The empty sella syndrome is common in middle-aged women, usually presenting with headache, and only occasionally associated with endocrine or visual abnormalities. It is rare in childhood. Childhood cases tend to present either with endocrine disturbances, visual symptoms, or with craniofacial syndromes. We present three cases of complete empty sella with childhood onset, each discovered unexpectedly during evaluation of endocrine or visual dysfunction.     

丝烈霉素C诱发小白鼠骨髓细胞姐妹染色单体互换和染色体畸变

丝裂霉素C(MMc)诱导的姐妹染色单体互换(SCE)可反映出细胞DMA损伤修复的基本过程。有关MMC诱发活体的SCE研究不多。本实验目的,就是探讨MMC诱发小白鼠骨髓细胞SCE的剂量—效应关系,并对SCE指标与染色体畸变指标,在检测机体DNA损伤上的差异作一比较研究。结果证明,MMC诱发染色体畸变能办远低于诱发SCE的能力,MMC可诱发小白鼠骨髓细胞SCE产生,SCE值随MMC剂量的增加而增加。SCE即使在低剂量诱变剂的作用下也是敏感的。

富铬酵母抗动脉粥样硬化的研究

本文观察了富铬酵母对早期动脉粥样硬化大鼠的预防及治疗作用。病理结果表明：在大鼠高脂饲料中接重量比加入０．１％的甲基硫氧嘧啶，在透射电镜下，大鼠主动脉内皮细胞可见大少；模型鼠改食普通饲料４０天，内皮下仍可见不典型泡沫细胞，内有空泡，而改食基础饲料并给富铬酵母治疗（０．２５ｇ／ＫｇＢｗ／ｄ），内皮下可见泡沫细胞，但空泡消失。在扫描电镜下，模型鼠主动脉内皮细胞肿胀、萎缩、排列紊乱，出现斑块状病变；给予富
