Distribution of the pro-opiomelanocortin-immunoreactive axons in relation to the serotoninergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus of the rat.

The anatomical relationships between pro-opiomelanocortin-containing axons and serotonin neurons in the nucleus raphe dorsalis (NRD) of the rat were examined at the light microscope level with antibodies against CLIP (corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide), alpha-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) and serotonin. Sequential double labeling was performed with either immunofluorescence or peroxidase-antiperoxidase techniques. It was observed that the network of POMC-immunoreactive axons displayed a gradient of decreasing density from rostral to caudal levels and from dorsal to ventral parts or the NRD. The examples of close proximity between immunoreactive axons and serotonin cell bodies or dendrites were rather scarce. On the whole, the immunoreactive fibers seemed to run quasi-independently of the serotonin neurons.

不同年龄组儿童甲状腺测量值及其变化的研究

调查了90具童尸用状腺的基本形态,可分四型。其中以甲状腺由两侧叶及峡部组成者为最多,占50.22%。测量了甲状腺各部的长、宽、厚。分年龄组进行了数据的统计学处理,并计算出儿童与成人甲状腺各部相应值的百分比。结果显示:小儿甲状腺侧叶的长度和宽度在幼儿期(1—3岁)就已发育近成人的一半。随着年龄的增长,甲状腺各部的均值逐渐增加。除各部的宽度以及锥体叶的长度外,各相邻两组间同项均数的比较,经双侧T检验发现差异具有高度显著性(P<0.01)。     

JC virus genotyping using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded renal tissues

Recently genotyping of JC virus (JCV) DNA in renal tissue was reported to be useful to identify the geographic origin of unidentified cadavers. In the above study, autopsied tissue samples without storage or stored in a frozen state were used. This study examined JCV DNA sequence modifications caused by formalin-fixation, in an attempt to elucidate whether formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples can also be used to determine the genotypes of JCV DNA in the kidney. In four cases, a 610 bp typing region of the JCV genome was PCR-amplified from renal tissues stored for 1 year in three different states: frozen at -80 degrees C [Amaker, B.H., Chandler, F.W., Huey, L.O., Colwell, R.M., 1997. Molecular detection of JC virus in embalmed, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded brain tissue. J. Forensic Sci., 1157-1159], formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded [Ault, G.S., Stoner, G.L., 1992. Two major types of JC virus defined in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy brain by early and late coding region DNA sequences. J. Gen. Virol. 73, 2669-2678], and soaked in 5% formalin [Baksh, F.K., Finkelstein, S.D., Swalskey, P.A., Stoner, G.L., Ryschkewitsch, C.F., Randhawa, P.R., 2001. Molecular genotyping of BK and JC virus in human polyomavirus-associated interstitial nephritis after renal transplantation. Am. J. Kidney Dis. 38 (2), 354-365]. The amplified fragments were cloned, and the resultant clones were sequenced. In frozen samples, single sequences ('original' sequences) were detected in all cases. In formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples, not only the original sequences but also those with 1-6 base substitutions were detected. From formalin-soaked samples, the original sequences and those with 1-5 and 10-13 substitutions were detected. The genotyping of JCV DNA was not hampered by the presence of 1-6 substitutions, but a shift in JCV genotypes was observed in sequences with 10-13 substitutions. Thus, it was concluded that the genotypes of JCV DNA in the kidney can be determined only with specimens stored in a frozen state or formalin-fixed for a short time.     

IL-1β诱导体外培养的大鼠中脑黑质神经元c-jun表达

应用细胞原位杂交技术，观察经重组小鼠白细胞介素-19（IL-1β）处理后的体外培养的新生1d大鼠中脑黑质神经元c－jun基因的表达．结果显示，培养的黑质细胞多为酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元，IL-1β可诱导体外培养的黑质神经元c－junmRNA表达，高水平的表达出现在IL-1β处理后2～4h。说明IL－1β有兴奋黑质神经元的作用，并提示黑质神经元上可能存在IL－1β受体．     

胎肝细胞质液对重症病毒性肝炎患者外周血TL－CFU及mIL－2R影响的实验观察

采用半固体一步单层琼脂培养法和单克隆荧光抗体技术分别观察重症肝炎外周血ＴＬ－ＣＦＵ和ｍＩＬ－２Ｒ，发现重症肝炎患者ＴＬ－ＣＦＵ（１０４．４±３２．６）及ｍＩＬ－２Ｒ（３５．６±８．６）较正常人明显降低。在培养体系中加胎肝细胞质液后，无论在重症肝炎组还是在正常组均不能明显地提高ＴＬ－ＣＦＵ，说明胎肝细胞质液不含具生物佐的促ＴＬ－ＣＦＵ因子。但对ｍＩＬ－２Ｒ表达的影响，在重症肝炎组病人，只有在ＰＨＡ存在条件下才能促进ｍＩＬ－２Ｒ的表达，说明胎肝细胞质波含有某种（些）物质能协同ＰＨＡ促进重症肝炎患者外周血淋巴细胞ｍＩＬ－２Ｒ表达。

奥美拉唑对家兔肾脏内髓集合管细胞H+/K+交换功能的影响

目的探讨奥美拉唑对家兔肾脏IMCD细胞H+/K+交换的影响,以及经洗涤处理是否解除这种影响.方法原代培养家兔肾脏IMCD细胞单层,在100 μmol/L奥美拉唑缓冲液中孵育25 min, 洗涤组则在奥美拉唑缓冲液孵育后,用不含奥美拉唑的缓冲液洗涤IMCD细胞;对照组在不含奥美拉唑的缓冲液孵育25 min;CECF/AM荧光探针法测定各组IMCD细胞H+/K+交换.结果奥美拉唑组的H+/K+交换为(0.016±0.006) dpHi/min(n=8);与对照组的(0.053±0.008) dpHi/min(n=8)相比,相差非常显著(P<0.001);洗涤组的H+/K+交换为(0.016±0.006) dpHi/min(n=6),与对照组(n=6)的(0.052±0.009)dpHi/min相比,相差非常显著(P<0.001).结论 100 mol/L的奥美拉唑对家兔IMCD细胞的H+/K+交换有显著影响,而且洗涤处理不能解除这种抑制.因而,肺心病合并上消化道出血患者使用奥美拉唑时,应综合考虑其利弊.
