Neuronal adrenergic and muscular cholinergic contractile hypersensitivity in canine jejunum after extrinsic denervation

Extrinsic denervation may be responsible for motor dysfunction after small bowel transplantation. The aim of this study was to examine the role of extrinsic innervation of canine jejunum on contractile activity. An in vitro dose response of cholinergic and adrenergic agonists was evaluated in canine jejunal strips of circular muscle at 0, 2, and 8 weeks in a control group and after jejunoileal extrinsic denervation (EX DEN). Neurons in circular muscle were quantitated by means of immunohistochemical techniques. Adrenergic and cholinergic responses did not differ at any time in the control group. However, at 2 and 8 weeks, extrinsic denervation caused an increased sensitivity to the procontractile effects of the cholinergic agonist bethanechol at the level of the smooth muscle cells, and increased sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of the adrenergic agent norepinephrine mediated at the level of the enteric nervous system. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a reduction in all neurons and a complete lack of adrenergic fibers in the EX DEN group after 2 and 8 weeks. Extrinsic denervation induces enteric neuronal cholinergic and adrenergic smooth muscle hypersensitivity in canine jejunal circular muscle.

低强度超短波对小鼠体质及智力的影响

本实验探讨了低强度超短波对小鼠连续三代辐射,对学习、记忆、拉力、运动耐力和周围血象的影响。用81MHz,10～12V/m 的超短波进行辐射,每天辐射2小时,每周6天。结果表明:经过超短波辐射的各代小鼠与对照组相比,学习能力、记忆能力、拉力及运动耐力有明显的降低,且运动耐力有进行性降低的趋势,而经过辐射的三代小鼠红细胞、血红蛋白含量及白细胞数均明显增高,每个红细胞的血红蛋白含量则低于对照组。     

5种拟钉螺酯酶同工酶酶谱的比较研究

采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶垂直平板电泳技术，对湖北和四川两省５种拟钉螺的酯酶同工酶酶谱进行比较研究，并以湖北钉螺作对照，５种拟钉螺酯酶同工酶共分离出８条酶带，酶谱可分成３区，即ＥＳＴ－１、ＥＳＴ－２、ＥＳＴ－３，其基本特征与钉螺显著不同，很容易通过酶谱将拟钉螺与钉螺区分开，同时，５种拟钉螺的酯酶同工酶酶谱之间均存在一定的差异，说明拟钉螺种间酯酶同工酶存在多态，而种间差异程度似与地域隔离的远近有关。结果提示拟钉螺酯酶同工酶的酶谱特征既有助于拟钉螺属的鉴定，又有助于拟钉螺近缘种的区分，从而对拟钉螺的分类有较大的参考价值。     

精囊腺炎的超声诊断

本文报道了６２例精囊腺炎经腹与经直肠超声检查，二种方法各有其优缺点，经直肠优于经腹超声，应合理选择，超声检查是检测精囊腺炎的一种可靠方法，值得推广。     

PPARδ基因多态与有氧能力及训练敏感性的关联研究

目的探讨过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体δ(PPARδ)基因第四外显子的单核苷酸多态(C294T)是否与有氧运动能力及训练敏感性相关联。方法对102名中国北方地区汉族男性青年进行为期18周的耐力训练(每次5000米、每周3次)。强度以个体通气无氧阈(VT)对应的心率(HRVT)为标准,前10周采用95%通气无氧阈对应的心率(HRVT±3),后8周采用105%通气无氧阈对应的心率(HRVT±3)。递增负荷运动实验测定受试者训练前后VO2max及相关指标和跑节省化时的心率(HR)、通气量(VE)和摄氧量(VO2)。采用限制性片断长度多态(PCR-RFLP)法测定PPARδ基因C294T位点。结果三种基因型的分布频率分别为CC基因型9人(0.09)、CT基因型37人(0.36)和TT基因型56人(0.55),符合Hardy-Weinberg平衡。按基因型分组后,CC基因型训练前的VO2max相对值显著性高于CT基因型和TT基因型(P<0.05);携带不同基因型群体的VO2max、跑节省化测试中的各项指标的变化率无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论PPARδ基因第四外显子的单核苷酸C294T多态与VO2max相对值的初始值相关联,但与有氧耐力训练效果不关联。     

Renal Transplantation in Indo-Asian Patients in the UK

Membership of some ethnic groups has an effect on renal transplant outcome but little is known about the impact of Indo-Asian ethnicity, despite this group's high incidence of renal disease. We compared outcomes in Indo-Asians and Caucasians at the Hammersmith Hospital (Indo-Asians, N = 46; Caucasians, N = 90), in the Long-Term Efficacy and Safety Surveillance (LOTESS) database of cyclosporin-treated renal transplant recipients (Indo-Asians, N = 254; Caucasians, N = 4262) and the National Transplant Database held by UK Transplant (Indo-Asians, N = 459; Caucasians, N = 4831). The baseline demographic and co-morbid characteristics of the two ethnic groups were comparable, save for more diabetes in the Indo-Asian community. Following transplantation, the incidence of delayed graft function and steroid-resistant acute rejection were also comparable, as were graft and patient survival (out to 5 years) and graft function. In addition, post-transplant blood pressure, levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and exposure to corticosteroids and cyclosporin were comparable. However, when patients who were not diabetic before transplantation were studied separately, there was an increased incidence of diabetes in the Indo-Asian community (Hammersmith data: Indo-Asians 10.9% vs. Caucasians 3.3%, p = 0.02; LOTESS data Indo-Asians 5.5% vs. Caucasians 1.6%, p < 0.0001). Subsequent management of this group should pursue immunosuppressive regimens less likely to impair post-transplant glucose tolerance.     

原发性胆囊癌CD44v5、CD44v6表达及其临床病理意义的研究

目的 检测胆囊癌组织中CD44v5、CD44v6的表达,并探讨其在胆囊癌发生发展过程中的临床病理意义.方法 采用SP免疫组织化学方法,检测49例胆囊癌、10例胆囊结石伴慢性胆囊炎组织和10例正常胆囊组织中CD44v5、CD44v6蛋白表达情况.结果 CD44v5、CD44v6阳性表达率在胆囊癌组织明显高于良性组织.在胆囊癌中,CD44v5基因表达阳性率与组织学分级无关,CD4 4v6基因表达阳性率与组织学分级有关.有淋巴结转移的胆囊癌组织中,CD44v5、CD44v6阳性表达率明显高于无淋巴结转移者.结论 CD44v5、CD44v6可能在胆囊癌的淋巴结转移中起着重要的作用,CD44v5、CD4 4v6可能是了解胆囊癌病变发生发展生物学行为,淋巴结转移的重要生物学指标.
