模拟股骨置入人工关节扭转与应力松弛蠕变的实验研究

研究了在相同扭矩作用下,正常组股骨和以生物学和骨水泥固定置入人工关节组股骨标本扭转角度,还对正常股骨、生物学固定股骨和骨水泥固定股骨进行应力松弛、蠕变实验,为临床提供生物力学参数。以电子万能试验机对正常对照组、股骨置入人工关节骨水泥固定组、股骨置入人工关节生物学固定组标本进行扭转和粘弹性实验研究。得出了各组标本在相同扭矩下的扭转角度及悬臂弯曲状态下,正常组和置入人工关节组标本应力松弛、蠕变数据和曲线。对实验数据进行归一化处理,得出了正常组和置入人工关节组标本的归一化应力松弛函数,归一化蠕变函数及曲线。表明:骨水泥固定组扭转角比生物学固定组小,说明骨水泥固定有较好的稳定性,其应力松弛、蠕变量丢失小。骨水泥固定组较生物学固定组3600s应力松弛、蠕变量大。     

大鼠三叉神经脊束间质核内接受内脏伤害性信息的含CB神经元向孤束核的投射

目的 探讨大鼠三叉神经脊束间质核(INV)内接受内脏伤害性信息的含calbindin D-28K(CB)神经元与孤束核(NTS)的投射联系。方法 用福尔马林刺激上消化道，应用荧光金(FG)逆行束路追踪结合Fos和CB的免疫荧光组织化学三重标记法。结果 INV的背侧边缘旁核(PaMd)和三叉旁核(PaV)内可见到大量FG逆标细胞，以注射FG的同侧为主。大部分FG逆标细胞(约71.2％)为CB免疫反应阳性。部分FG和CB双标记神经元(约31．5％)同时呈Fos免疫反应阳性的三重标记。结论 INV内部分接受内脏伤害性刺激的CB神经元可直接投射至NTS，含CB的神经元在内脏伤害性信息经INV向NTS的传导通路中，可能发挥重要作用.     

'Clock' and 'motor' components in absolute coordination of rhythmic movements

Human subjects swung, through motions at the two wrists, hand-held pendulums of variable mass and length. Within a pair, the two pendulums could be of the same or different magnitude. The subjects were required to produce a coordinated state in which the two rhythmic units oscillated at a single common period. Fifty-four conditions of absolute coordination, that is, 54 different pairs of wrist-pendulum systems, were investigated for each of three subjects in the course of six sessions. Each condition of absolute coordination was conducted in the out of phase mode and at the single most comfortable period. The period variances of the right and left systems in the 162 instances of absolute coordination were analysed according to a method that assumes that a timekeeper function and a motor implementation function contribute independently to the variance in the periodic timing of a rhythmic movement. The major findings were that in absolute coordination: (a) a system's 'motor' variance, but not its 'clock' variance, depended on the deviation of the period of absolute coordination tau from the system's characteristic period; (b) right and left 'clock' variances were related and (c) neither the 'motor' variances nor the 'clock' variances were affected by deviations in the mean phase relation from 180 degrees. The results were discussed in terms of their implications for interpreting von Holst's notions of maintenance tendency and magnetic effect and, more generally, the neural and dynamical basis of absolute coordination.     

Evaluation of two immunofluorescence assays with monoclonal antibodies for typing of herpes simplex virus.

An indirect immunofluorescence assay and a direct immunofluorescence assay were evaluated for typing clinical isolates of herpes simplex virus (HSV). The indirect immunofluorescence assay (Electro-Nucleonics, Inc.) correctly identified 16 HSV type 2 (HSV-2) isolates, but failed to identify 4 of 14 HSV-1 isolates because of background fluorescence and instability of reagents. Forty-nine HSV-1 isolates were correctly typed by direct immunofluorescence assay (Kallestad Laboratories, Inc.), but 1 of 39 HSV-2 isolates did not react with the HSV-2 type-specific antibody conjugate.

Der Nachweis tubulärer Funktionsstörungen der Niere durch Bestimmung der Aminopeptidase-Aktivität im Harn

Zusammenfassung Aminopeptidase findet sich im lumennahen Cytoplasma der Zellen des proximalen Tubulus der Niere in hoher Konzentration. Bei Schädigungen der Tubuluszellen, die mit einer Änderung der Permeabilität der Zellmembranen einhergehen, kann sie in den Harn übertreten. Dementsprechend ist bei akuten Läsionen des proximalen Tubulus eine erhöhte Aminopeptidase-Aktivität im Harn zu erwarten.An einer Reihe von Beispielen sollte gezeigt werden, daß die Bestimmung der Aminopeptidase-Aktivität im Harn zum Nachweis akuter Funktionsstörungen des proximalen Tubulus geeignet ist.

Summary Aminopeptidase occurs in high concentration in the luminal portion of the cytoplasma of cells of the proximal convoluted tubules. In case of damage of the tubular cells this enzyme can pass into the urine. Thus, in acute lesions of the proximale tubule an elevated aminopeptidase activity in the urin is to be expected.The task was to demonstrate in a series of cases, that the determination of the aminopeptidase activity in the urine serves for the evaluation of acute disturbances of the proximal tubule.

Ti gamma A + delta TCS1+ T cells in human thymus. Analysis of the T cell receptor.

TcR1+ T cells in peripheral blood have been shown to express in an exclusive fashion either the Ti gamma A or the delta TCS1 epitope. Here, we characterize a subset of TcR1+ T cells in fresh thymus co-expressing the Ti gamma A and delta TCS1 epitopes. TcR1dim and TcR1bright clones can be distinguished. Biochemical and molecular studies on both types of clones generated from these thymocytes reveal a unique T cell receptor structure characterized by the use of a V gamma 9/C gamma 2-encoded 55-kDa gamma chain nondisulfide linked to a V delta 1-encoded delta chain.
