Reversal of ischemic liver failure by intrasplenic liver cell transplantation

A model of ischemic hepatic failure in Sprague-Dawley rats (SD) with 100% mortality has been developed by one-hour occlusion of the right portal vein and hepatic artery followed by left 70% hepatectomy. The intrasplenic injection of 40 x 10(6) syngeneic adult or three-day neonatal single liver cell suspensions decreased the mortality from 100% to 50% and 36%, respectively. Mortality decreased with increasing time from the intrasplenic injection of neonatal liver cells to the time of acute hepatic ischemia. Mortality also decreased with increasing interval between hepatic ischemia and removal of the transplanted liver cells by splenectomy. Intrasplenic injection of graded doses of neonatal liver cells decreased mortality from 75% at a dose of 10 x 10(6) cells, to 36% at 160 x 10(6) cells. Treatment of neonatal liver cells with metabolic inhibitors did not significantly affect their ability to reverse acute hepatic ischemia.     

Clinical and hormonal effects of chronic gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment in polycystic ovarian disease

Previously, we reported that short term administration of a highly potent GnRH agonist (GnRHa) for 1 month to patients with polycystic ovarian disease (PCO) resulted in complete suppression of ovarian steroidogenesis without measurable effects on adrenal steroid production. This new study was designed to evaluate the effects of long term GnRHa administration in PCO patients with respect to their hormone secretion patterns and clinical responses. Eight PCO patients and 10 ovulatory women with endometriosis were treated daily with sc injections of [D-His6-(imBzl]),Pro9-NEt]GnRH (GnRHa; 100 micrograms) for 6 months. Their results were compared to hormone values in 8 women who had undergone bilateral oophorectomies. In response to GnRHa, PCO and ovulatory women had rises of serum LH at 1 month, after which it gradually declined to baseline. In both groups FSH secretion was suppressed throughout treatment. Serum estradiol, estrone, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione, and testosterone levels markedly decreased to values found in oophorectomized women by 1 month and remained low thereafter. In contrast, serum pregnenolone and 17-hydroxypregnenolone were partially suppressed, and dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and cortisol levels did not change. Clinically, hyperplastic endometrial histology in three PCO patients reverted to an inactive pattern, and proliferative endometrium in two other PCO patients became inactive in one and did not change in the other. Regression of proliferative endometrial histology occurred in all ovulatory women. Vaginal bleeding occurred in all women studied during the first month of GnRHa administration, after which all but one PCO patient became amenorrheic. Hot flashes were noted by all ovulatory women and by four of eight PCO patients. All PCO patients noted subjective reduction of skin oiliness, and five had decreased hair growth. We conclude that in premenopausal women: 1) chronic GnRHa administration results in apparently complete persistent suppression of ovarian steroid secretion; 2) adrenal steroid secretion is not influenced directly or indirectly; and 3) its use may be helpful in the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia and ovarian androgen excess in women with PCO.     

精索静脉曲张患者精索静脉和外周血睾酮水平的对照研究

目的：探讨精索静脉血张患者血浆睾酮水平的变化及其机制。方法：对25例精索静脉曲张患者与22例腹股沟斜疝患者精索静脉和外周血睾酮水平进行对照研究。结果：精索静脉曲张组外周血睾酮浓度与腹股沟斜疝组无差别（P＞0．05），而精索静脉血睾酮浓度两组则有明显差异，精索静脉曲张组精索静脉血中睾酮浓度较腹股沟斜疝组低（P＜0．05）。结论：多种因素可影响外周血睾酮浓度，使其难以准确地反映睾丸分泌睾酮的实际水平，而精索静脉血中的睾酮浓度则能较为直接地反映睾丸的睾酮分泌能力。

国产头孢三嗪在急性感染病人中的药代动力学

静脉滴注国产头孢三嗪0.5～1克,治疗8例急性感染病人的药代动力学。静注后半小时用HPLC测得的平均血药浓度为100.75μg/ml,24小时的血药浓度为11.4μg/ml,国产头孢三嗪的药代动力学特点与国外同类产品基本一致。半衰期长,清除半衰期为8.8小时,可在血液和感染部位中保持较长时间的杀菌和抑菌浓度,总表观分布容积为13.0L/kg,表明药物在组织中的浓度高。本品用量小,每日1克1～2次即可达到疗效。5例慢性胆囊炎伴胆石症患者静滴头孢三嗪1克后,2小时胆汁的平均药物浓度为1022.8μg/ml,可作为治疗胆道感染的有效药物。     

类保幼激素对三带喙库蚊幼期发育的影响

本文报告用亚致死剂量的 S—31183(类保幼激素)处理三带喙库蚊幼虫对其发育影响的研究,结果表明处理后蛹期死亡率明显高于幼虫期,并且与剂量大小有关。S—31183处理幼虫并不影响幼虫的发育时间,但可使幼虫化蛹时蜕皮受阻与羽化受到一定的抑制。
