Study on lymphocyte activation and proliferation induced by anti-CD3 McAb

Summary T cell activation and proliferation via CD₃-TCR complex were investigated by lymphocyte DNA synthesis in vitro. Several interfering factors were also discussed. The result indicated that lymphocyte activation and proliferation are calciumdependent. A rise of cytoplasmic free Ca²⁺ quickly following activation with CD₃ McAb is mainly due to intracellular mobilization of Ca²⁺, while lymphocyte proliferation needs both intracellular mobilization of Ca²⁺ as well as influx of extracellular Ca²⁺. It was confirmed that CTX sensitive G protein plays a role in regulating T cell proliferation by pretreatment with CTX suppressing lymphocyte³H-TdR incorporation obviously. PLC and PKC inhibitor neomycin and P. S. S could also decrease T cell proliferation.     

凝集素受体在膀胱癌中的分布

目的：探讨膀胱癌中凝集素受体分布与其分化程度和浸润深度的关系。方法：应用生物素标记的花生凝集素（ＰＮＡ）、麦胚凝集素（ＷＧＡ）及刀豆凝集素（ＣｏｎＡ）等３种凝集素对５２例人体膀胱癌、１０例正常人体膀胱粘膜，进行亲合组织化学法研究。结果：发现正常膀胱粘膜ＰＮＡ、ＷＧＡ受体阴性，ＰＮＡ受体阳性率随膀胱癌病理分级的上升而递增，差异具有显著性意义（Ｐ＜０．０５）。ＰＮＡ、ＷＧＡ受体阳性率在浸润性肿瘤中明显高于浅表性肿瘤（Ｐ＜０．０５）。结论：提示ＰＮＡ、ＷＧＡ受体阳性率与膀胱癌分化程度和浸润深度有关。     

Rat model of distraction osteogenesis

Prior studies of distraction osteogenesis in dog and rabbit models have shown predominantly intramembranous bone formation. Other models of fracture healing normally display mixtures of both endochondral and intramembranous bone formation. We have established a rat model of tibial lengthening that reliably reproduces the pattern of zonal osteogenesis previously observed in dog and rabbit models. A distraction rate of 0.25 mm twice a day with a 0-day latency period produced intramembranous bone with zones of progressive mineralization from collagen. With this protocol, rats bridged the distraction gap with a 25% increase in the tibial bone length. After 20 days of distraction and 50 days of consolidation, the three-point bending stiffness, as a percentage of the contralateral control, reached a level equivalent to that measured in the canine model for a 15% lengthening (28-day distraction and 84-day consolidation). Radiodensitometric analysis of the regenerate bones measured 97% of the unaffected contralateral tibial densities, and mineral analyses demonstrated that calcium and phosphorus levels in the regenerate bone reached 78% of contralateral tibial levels by day 70. We concluded that a rat model of distraction ostegenesis will be useful for a wide range of studies involving rapid intramembranous bone formation.     

Reversal of diastolic cerebral blood flow in infants without brain death

The reversal of diastolic cerebral blood flow has been regarded as a characteristic waveform of brain death and a useful confirming sign. We report 2 patients who had diastolic flow reversal but survived. One, a 1-month-old boy with status epilepticus, had reversal of diastolic cerebral blood flow detected by Doppler ultrasound soon after admission. Reversal disappeared after medical management for increased intracranial pressure and seizure control. He recovered without sequelae. The other, a 6-month-old girl with choroid plexus papilloma, had reversal of diastolic flow during abrupt clinical deterioration. Emergent surgical removal of the tumor was performed and she survived with hemiparesis and psychomotor retardation. Our patients demonstrated that even in the presence of diastolic reversal of cerebral blood flow, prompt and effective treatment can avoid a fatal outcome.     

类风湿因子IgM-RF、IgG-RF和IgA-RF的临床意义分析

目的　探讨 3种类风湿因子 (RF)诊断类风湿关节炎 (RA)、反映病情活动度和疗效的临床意义。方法对关节痛 /关节炎 (A组 )、确诊的RA (B组 )、其它免疫结缔组织病 (C组 )患者和正常人 (D组 )共 6 18例用酶联免疫法进行 3种RF的动态检测并随访观察。结果　 4组人群中 3种RF的阳性率和浓度以B组最高 [IgM RF为 92 4 % ,(182 5± 5 1 4 )IU/ml;IgG RF为 6 7 8% ,(2 2 9 7± 75 6 )IU/ml;IgA RF为 78 8% ,(2 35 8± 80 7)IU/ml],组间比较依次为B组 >A组 >C和D组 (均为P <0 0 5 )。B组中高活动期RA患者的 3种RF浓度明显高于其它 3组 (P <0 0 5 ) ,IgM RF和IgA RF在稳定期和低活动期较高活动期均明显降低 (均为P <0 0 5 ) ,而IgG RF变化无显著性。随访 3～ 18个月 ,A组中最后确诊为RA的比率以 3种RF同时阳性者最高 (10 0 0 % ) ,2种RF同时阳性者次之(90 9%～ 93 3% ) ,以单一RF作比较则IgG RF >IgA RF >IgM RF阳性者。结论　早期诊断RA以IgM RF的敏感性最高 ,以IgG RF的特异性最高 ,任何 2种以上RF阳性可提高RA诊断的可靠性 ,RF浓度可作为判断RA活动度及药物治疗效果的指标之一。     

Hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic brain lesions: evaluation with 0.35-T fast MR imaging

Two fast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques, advanced Fourier and partial-flip imaging, were used at 0.35 T to examine 21 patients with suspected intracranial lesions; the results were quantitatively compared with a conventional spin-echo study. Both of the fast MR techniques yielded a fourfold reduction in imaging time per section. The advanced Fourier sequence showed contrast that was identical to the conventional spin-echo study with signal-to-noise ratios of 58% and 57% for the first and second echoes, respectively. The partial-flip sequence showed a contrast of 109% and 57% for lesions versus substantia alba, and 107% and 78% for substantia grisea versus substantia alba relative to the first and second echoes of the conventional spin-echo study. The partial-flip sequence was particularly sensitive to magnetic susceptibility; this produced artifacts that may undermine the usefulness of partial flip for routine screening in certain parts of the brain. However, this susceptibility significantly improved the detection of intracranial hemorrhage when compared with the spin-echo sequence, particularly when combined with phase mapping of the partial-flip study.     

Application of median-effect in quantitative analysis of antitumor drugs in vitro

Objective: To analyze quantitatively the synergistic and antagonistic effects of combined oxymatrine (OMT) and 5-fluorouracil (5-GU) on a cell line of human liver cancer (HepG2) with median-effect principle in vitro. Methods: The median-effect principle and MTT method were used in the quantitative analysis of effects of the two drugs. Results: Cytotoxic activity of the individual drugs enhanced as drug concentration increased. As fa=0.41, a CI equal to 1 indicated additivity; fa<0.41, a CI less than 1 indicated synergy; and fa>0.41, a CI greater than 1 indicated antagonism. The sequence of administration did not influence the cytotoxic activity of the combined antitumor drugs. The ratio of drug concentration was a factor that can influence the killing effect. Conclusion: The combined drugs interaction (CI<1) was synergistic at lower concentration and antagonistic at higher concentration. The ratio of drug concentration is a factor that can influence the killing effect.
