女性银屑病患者血清性激素浓度测定

对20例女性、非妊娠期、生育年龄的寻常型、进行期银屑病患者检测了雌二醇(E_2)、孕酮(P)和睾酮(T)的血清浓度。结果为:卵泡期E_2平均值为84±61.6pg/ml,黄体期E_2平均值为164.9±115pg/ml,均显著高于正常平均值(P值分别为<0.001,<0.005);黄体期P平均值为2.67±4.62ng/ml,显著低于正常平均值(P<0.005);T平均值在正常范围,提示银屑病可能与血清E_2和P浓度有关。     

Prospective study of the occurrence of monoclonal gammapathies following bone marrow transplantation in young children

We have prospectively studied the occurrence of monoclonal serum immunoglobulins in 38 recipients of BMT. Patients were young children with primary immunodeficiencies (n = 31), other inherited diseases (n = 4), leukemia (n = 2), or aplastic anemia (n = 1). Twenty-nine received an HLA-nonidentical marrow and nine an HLA-identical marrow. Serum monoclonal immunoglobulins were detected by the immunofixation method. Monoclonal immunoglobulins were found in 26 patients. Monoclonal components were more frequently detected in patients with primary severe T cell deficiencies (21/25) rather than in the other patients (6/13). In 7 of 29 recipients of HLA-nonidentical transplants, versus 0 out of 9 recipients of HLA-identical transplants, serum monoclonal immunoglobulins were found associated with a B lymphocyte proliferation syndrome due to an Epstein-Barr virus infection. In this group, monoclonal immunoglobulins were detected early, prior to the onset of the clinical syndrome. The simultaneous occurrence of several monoclonal immunoglobulins was more frequent in these patients, while monoclonal immunoglobulin concentrations increased faster, especially those of IgM isotype. These characteristics may allow in patients at risk (recipients with primary T cell immunodeficiencies and receiving HLA-nonidentical transplantation) an earlier diagnosis of B lymphocyte proliferative syndrome that may eventually lead to early and more efficient therapy.     

PgH2 analogs as potential antiplatelet derivatives.

Previous observations implicating PgH2 as a direct activator of platelets suggested that derivatives of U46619, a well-characterized TxA2 receptor agonist having structural homology with PgH2, might possess antiplatelet activity. The present work describes the synthesis of [1S-(1 alpha,2 beta,3 alpha,4 alpha)]-3-[(tetrahydropyranyloxy)methyl]- 2-[2-[(triphenylmethyl)oxy]ethyl]-5-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (14) a potentially useful intermediate for the synthesis of various epoxymethano derivatives. The latter was converted to [1S-(1 alpha,2 beta (Z),3 alpha,4 alpha)]-7-[3-[[2- [(phenylamino)carbonyl]-hydrazino]methyl]-5-oxabicylo[2.2.1]hept-2 - yl]-5-heptenoic acid (23), an epoxymethano derivative of PgH2 containing a hydrazide lower side chain as previously used in the TxA2 antagonist, SQ 29,548. The intermediate 14 was also converted to [1S-(1 alpha,2 beta (Z),3 alpha,4 alpha)]-7- [3-[(hexylamino)methyl]-5-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-5-heptenoic acid (25) which contained a simple aza side chain as used in earlier antagonists. Derivatives 23 and 25 appeared to be specific antagonists of the human platelet TxA2 receptor as evidenced by their inhibition of U46619 (1.5 microM) induced aggregation of human platelet rich plasma (IC50 = 22 and 7 microM, respectively), while having little effect on ADP (2 microM) induced aggregation at much higher concentrations. In addition, one of these derivatives, the bicycloamine 25, was shown to compete for [3H]U46619 binding to washed human platelets with an IC50 value of 25 microM, supporting the notion that these derivatives were acting at the thromboxane receptor. However, the potency of these derivatives was less than for previously reported TxA2 antagonists, suggesting that simple linear combinations of functionality from molecules active at the human platelet thromboxane receptor will be of limited predictive value.     

乳腺癌患者血中角蛋白mRNA基因的表达

目的 分析乳腺癌患者外周血液中角蛋白（CK19）mRNA基因的表达。方法 取20例经病理证实的乳腺癌患者外周血，用Tirizol法提取总RNA，然后进行RT－PCR荧光定量检测，并与正常人群进行对照。结果 正常人群外周血中无CK19表达，20例乳腺癌中有6例阳性表达，总阳性率为29．65％，其中单纯癌阳性率为30．7％（4／13），浸润性导管癌阳性率为28．6％（2／7）。结论 CK19可作为检测外周血循环癌细胞的标志物。     

Aspects of the tilted disk syndrome

4 cases of tilted disc syndrome are reported. Two were associated with sellar or endocrine pathology, one had a particular aspect of chorioretinal atrophy, and the last had a thrombosis of the central vein of retina. The most commonly aspects of tilted disc syndrome are reported.     

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLATELET CYTOSOLIC FREE CALCIUM CONCENTRATION AND PLASMA RENIN ACTIVITY

1. Plasma renin activity (PRA) and platelet cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were simultaneously determined in 18 untreated essential hypertensive subjects and 17 normotensive controls. A significant positive correlation was found between [Ca2+]i and PRA (slope = 42 nmol/l/ng/ml/h) in these 35 subjects. 2. Two determinations more than one week apart in nine subjects confirmed the parallel fluctuations of [Ca2+]i and PRA. A strict sodium restriction produced a progressive PRA elevation associated with a parallel rise in [Ca2+]i in one subject. 3. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that angiotensin II causes a concentration-dependent calcium mobilization.     

Specific and non-specific immunity and protection of macaques against SIV infection.

The simian immunodeficiency virus is a retrovirus closely related to the human immunodeficiency viruses; it induces an AIDS-like disease in macaques, and provides therefore an obvious animal model for anti-lentiviral drug and vaccine strategy assessments. In our experiment, we immunized rhesus macaques with a purified and formalin-inactivated whole SIVmac251 antigen preparation. Most of these monkeys were still protected for more than 4 months following a heterologous SIVsm intravenous challenge. Both virus stocks, for vaccine preparation and challenge, were provided by culture supernatants of infected T cells of human origin. Four of the protected macaques were then reimmunized with the same antigen preparation and rechallenged intravenously with a homologous rhesus cell grown SIVmac251. Unexpectedly, all animals developed clinical and biological evidence of infection by day 15 after the second challenge.
