重组人纽兰格林对正常恒河猴心脏的影响

探索重组人纽兰格林对健康成年恒河猴心脏的作用.将10只健康成年实验恒河猴随机分为实验组及对照组,分别注射等量重组人纽兰格林及生理盐水,采用超声心动图对用药前、用药即刻60 s内及用药10 d后相关指标进行测量,比较两组之间及不同时间之间各指标的差异.结果表明:重组人纽兰格林对健康实验恒河猴的舒张末期左室内径及容积、收缩末期左室容积、每搏量有影响,且随着用药时间的延长4者均增大,而重组人纽兰格林对健康恒河猴的左室射血分数及短轴缩短率没有显著影响.本研究认为重组人纽兰格林对健康成年恒河猴左心室容积有影响,而对心肌收缩力无显著影响.     

帕罗西汀合并认知疗法治疗酒依赖伴发抑郁及对戒酒的影响

目的评价帕罗西汀合并认知疗法治疗酒依赖伴发抑郁的疗效及对戒酒的影响。方法将98例酒依赖伴发抑郁的患者随机分为研究组和对照组,分别用认知疗法合并帕罗西汀、单用帕罗西汀治疗4个月。用汉密顿抑郁量表(HAMD)评定疗效;用复饮率评定戒酒效果。结果治疗1个月后,研究组HAMD评分16.79±6.50与对照组相近17.88±6.59(P>0.05)。治疗4个月后HAMD评分10.76±5.32、明显低于对照组14.54±5.12(P<0.01);临床疗效(痊愈率44.44%、显效率22.22%、有效率33.34%)明显高于对照组(21.74%、21.74%、56.52%)(P<0.05);复饮率(24.44%)低于对照对照组(45.56%)(P<0.05)。结论认知疗法合并帕罗西汀治疗酒依赖伴发抑郁疗效较好,戒酒效果较好。     

振动减肥中腹壁脂肪的超声检测与力学特征

本文是在研究振动对生物体内物质的耗散作用的基础上，试图利用振动对动物腹壁脂肪进行减脂的探索。通过实验，证实了利用趋声作为手段，可以对动物体内的腹壁脂肪作无创伤活体测量，其误差仅在１０％左右。使用振动对脂肪块得出了疲劳曲线和振动在生物体内传播的衰减曲线。对新鲜离体脂肪块所作振动模拟实验，证明在所使用的频率和振幅的振动作用下，能够迅速使脂肪的厚度消减，根据初步观察，在振动过程中有甘油从脂肪块中溢出，其消减体积的百分之八十为甘油成份，可以认为振动能促使脂肪细胞膜破裂或促使脂肪细胞内的脂滴水解，因此振动有可能成为减肥治疗方案中的一个重要措施。     

脐血ANF、CG和β2-m检测与高危新生儿心、肝、肾功能关系的研究

应用放射免疫法对112例、170例和113例新生儿脐血分作ANF、CG和β_2测定。结果:(1)早产儿和地期产儿ANF、CG和β_2-m的含量显著高于正常足月儿,与正常儿比较P值分别为:P<0.001、P<0.01、P<0.05。(2)高危新生儿出生1分钟Apgar评分越低,脐血ANF、CG和β_2m的含量越高。Apgar评分0′～3′和4′～7′组脐血ANF、CG和β_2-m含量高于8′～10′组。(3)高危儿的转归不同,脐血ANF、CG和β_2-m含量差异也极为显著。抢救成活组、死亡组脐血ANF、CG和β_2-m含量明显高于正常成活组(P值均<0.01)。(4)本文经抢救和死亡高危儿共27例同时检测了上述三项指标ANF、CG、β_2-m的含量呈高度正相关。 研究结果表明,高危新生儿ANF、CG和β_2-m的含量越高,心、肝、肾功能受损程度越严重。因此,脐血ANF、CG和β_2-m可客观而可靠地反映高危新生儿心、肝、肾功能,具有较高的临床应用价值。     

Experimental determination of electron source parameters for accurate Monte Carlo calculation of large field electron therapy

Extensive work has been performed to validate Monte Carlo models for both photon and electron beams under standard conditions. However, for large field electron beam therapy, Monte Carlo simulations have not been able to provide good agreement when compared to the measured dose distributions. Since the accuracy of the calculation relies heavily on the geometry parameters of the linear accelerator and the characteristics of the incident electron beam, it is crucial to have a complete comprehension of these independent factors. In this work, the electron focal spot size for a CL21EX linac with various energies (6, 9, 12 and 16 MeV) was measured with a slit camera composed of alternating lead and paper sheets. For all the energies investigated, the electron focal spot is found to be elliptical and has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) ranging from 1.69 mm to 2.24 mm. A shift with respect to the crosshair was associated with each measured focal spot. In addition, we present an improved result for the large field in-air profile by utilizing a proposed divergent beam model in conjunction with the experimental focal spot dimension. This model can potentially provide a solution to the Monte Carlo validation of large field electron beam therapy.

Dissociated ROS production and ceramide generation in sulfasalazine-induced cell death in Raw 264.7 cells

Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is a drug used in inflammatory bowel disease, whose precise mechanism of action remains to be clarified. Here, we report that incubation of Raw 264.7 cells with SSZ but not salicylates [acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA), and 5-ASA] causes a mixed apoptotic and necrotic form of cell death. In contrast to its metabolites, sulfapyridine and 5-ASA, SSZ exposure in Raw 264.7 cells resulted in a threefold increase in ceramide generation, as well as a robust production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, inhibition of ceramide production by fumonisin B1 failed to attenuate cell death. Preincubation with catalase, cyclosporin A (CsA), and bongkrekic acid attenuated ROS production. When dead cells were quantified for apoptotic versus necrotic cell death, catalase and N-acetylcysteine reproducibly attenuated apoptosis, whereas CsA, in addition to reducing apoptosis, was observed to dramatically enhance necrosis. In conclusion, the cell-death response induced by SSZ in Raw 264.7 cells involves ROS in the apoptotic limb but is independent of ceramide formation.     

Molecular cytogenetic characterization of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines and xenografts by comparative genomic hybridization and spectral karyotyping

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines and xenografts represent valuable models for functional and therapeutic studies on this common malignancy in Southeast Asia. The karyotypic information in most NPC cell lines and xenografts, however, remains largely unclear to date. We have characterized the chromosomal aberrations in six commonly used human NPC cell lines and xenografts using the molecular cytogenetic technique of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Genomic imbalances identified in cell lines were further correlated with structural abnormalities indicated from spectral karyotyping (SKY) analysis. CGH revealed consistent overrepresentations of 8q (six out of six cases) with a smallest overlapping region identified on 8q21.1q22. Other common gains included 7p (4/6 cases), 7q (4/6 cases), 12q (4/6), and 20q (4/6 cases), where minimal overlapping regions were suggested on 7p15p14, 7q11.2q21, and 12q22q24.1. Common losses were detected on 3p12p21 (4/6 cases) and 11q14qter (4/6 cases). Although SKY analysis on cell lines revealed predominantly unbalanced rearrangements, reciprocal translocations that involved chromosome 2 [i.e., t(1;2), t(2;3), and t(2;4)] were suggested. Furthermore, SKY examination illustrated additional breakpoints on a number of apparently balanced chromosomes. These breakpoints included 3p21, 3q26, 5q31, 6p21.1p25, 7p14p22, and 8q22. Our finding of regional gains and losses and breakpoints represents information that may contribute to NPC studies in vitro.     

Acute leukemia with myeloid,B-, and natural killer cell differentiation

Biphenotypic acute leukemias account for 4% to 8% of all acute leukemias. Most of these leukemias are of myeloid-B-cell or myeloid-T-cell lineage. Acute myeloid-natural killer cell leukemia has been recognized recently. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of CD56(+) acute leukemia showing unequivocal myeloid and B-cell differentiation in a 20-year-old woman, whose blast cells were positive for myeloperoxidase, CD13, CD33, CD117, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, HLA-DR, and CD56 but negative for CD3, CD5, CD7, and CD10. Rare Auer rods were identified in the blast cells. Polymerase chain reaction assays showed rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene and absence of Epstein-Barr virus DNA. We propose that this novel form of multilineage leukemia may represent the neoplastic counterpart of a progenitor that can give rise to myeloid, B, and natural killer cells.
