合并乙肝的涂阳肺结核病人DOTS中肝损害观察

目的 观察免费板式组合药在DOTS中对合并乙肝的涂阳肺结核病人肝损害情况。方法 比较HBsAg、HBeAg、HBcAb阳性的涂阳肺结核病人与无乙肝的涂阳肺结核病人DOTS前后肝功能损害情况。结果 合并乙肝病人肝损害发生率66．3％，无乙肝者肝损害发生率8．6％，两者相比差异有显著性（P〈0．01）。22．5％病人因肝损害需更改治疗方案。结论 DOTS中合并乙肝的病人采用板式组合药用2H3R3Z3E3／4H3R3方案易发生肝损害，对这类病人应慎用常规方案，并要密切全程观察肝功能，尽可能应用肝损害较小的抗结核药。     

Behavior of cryopreserved endothelial cells in different phases: Their application in the seeding of vascular prostheses

Various methods of cryopreservation of human endothelial cells (EC) were studied to determine their viability and behavior when seeded onto vascular prostheses made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Three different protocols were used: (1) cyropreservation of whole umbilical vein, (2) cyropreservation of freshly extracted umbilical EC in suspension, and (3) cryopreservation of EC derived from a first subculture. Fresh EC and EC from a first subculture were used as controls. The viability and growth of these cells in culture media were studied, and basal prostacyclin levels were determined. The cells were assessed morphologically after they were seeded onto PTFE discs. Our results showed that the cryopreservation method that maintained the greatest viability was that in which previously cultured EC were used. Basal prostacyclin levels were significantly different following cyropreservation. However, when these cells were seeded onto PTFE discs their behavior was similar to that of fresh EC.We thank W. L.

Effect of Zinc or S-Adenosyl-l-methionine on Long Term Administration of Low Doses of Lead to Rats

Two alternatives for the treatment of lead intoxication, administration of zinc or a thiol donor, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), were analysed. Rats were exposed to lead (Pb)-acetate (60 mg/1) in drinking water during 90 days; one group also received SO₄Zn in water (40 mg/l), while another received both Pb and SAM (5 mg/24 hr intraperitoneally. Erythrocytic δ-aminolaevulinic dehydratase (ALA-D) activity was significantly reduced (P<0.001) both in rats receiving Pb alone and in rats receiving Pb and each of the other two treatments. The high erythrocytic uroporphyrinogen synthetase (URO-S) activity noticed in Pb administered rats, was significantly (P< 0.001) reduced in animals treated either with zinc or with SAM. Hepatic ALA-D activity tended to decrease while renal enzyme activity was not modified by the low level Pb exposure used in this work. Interestingly, SAM treated rats in both tissues exhibited significantly (P<0.01) higher activities of the enzyme. It is argued that SAM treatment causes a surplus of thiols that allows the full expression of ALA-D catalytic activity.     

中风后癫痫59例分析

对641例中风患者追踪观察1～3年,结果59例出现癫痫发作,中风后癫痫发生率为9.20％;脑出血与脑梗塞癫痫发生率间比较无已著差异(P>0.05);皮层损害者癫痫发生率显著高于皮层下损害者(P<0.01);脑出血继发癫痫发作多属早期发作(8/11),而脑梗塞多属迟发性癫痫发作(40/48)(P<0.01);早期癫痫发作需长期服抗癫痫药控制者显著低于迟发性癫痫发作(P<0.01)。提示:病损波及皮层是重要的致痫因素;早期发作与迟发性癫痫发作的发病机理不同,故表现出治疗与转归不同;迟发性癫痫尤其病灶波及皮层者长期规则服抗癫痫药是必要的。     

巨噬细胞杀伤白色念珠菌作用的探讨

本研究经杀菌试验和免疫后保护力试验探讨小鼠巨噬细胞在抗白色念珠菌感染中的作用,结果表明白色念珠菌酵母形体对巨噬细胞杀伤作用的抵抗力及对小鼠的毒力均较菌丝形体强。小鼠体内不同部位巨噬细胞杀伤白色念珠菌的作用不同,脾脏巨噬细胞作用大于腹腔残存巨噬细胞。经白色念珠菌活菌静脉免疫后脾巨噬细胞杀白色念珠菌作用增强,但其对再感染的抵抗力不增强。

Stimulation of phagocytic function in mouse macrophages by neurotensin and neuromedin N

The neuropeptides neurotensin and neuromedin N (from 10⁻¹² M to 10⁻⁹ M) have been showed in this study to stimulate significantly in vitro several steps of the phagocytic process: adherence to substrate, chemotaxis, ingestion of inert particles (latex beads) and production of superoxide anion measured by nitroblue tetrazolium reduction in resting peritoneal macrophages from BALB/c mice. A dose-response relationship was observed, with a maximal stimulation of the phagocytic process at 10⁻¹¹ M. The two neuropeptides induced no change of intracellular cyclic AMP in murine macrophages. Moreover, adherence and chemotaxis decreased significantly in the presence of EGTA (1 mM), a chelator of extracellular Ca²⁺, or ryanodine (0.5 mM), a blocker of a Ca²⁺-gated channel from the endoplasmic reticulum, in both controls and samples with the addition of neurotensin or neuromedin N. These results suggest that there is no relation between the cAMP messenger system and the phagocytic process stimulation in murine peritoneal macrophages by neurotensin or neuromedin N. In addition, the results observed with EGTA and ryanodine could indicate that these two neuropeptides produce their effects through an increase of intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration.
