Hemoglobin constant spring defined by specific oligonucleotide hybridization and hemoglobin D Punjab (beta 121----Gln) in a Batak Indonesian family

A Batak Indonesian from North Sumatra with hemoglobin (Hb) D Punjab (alpha 2 beta 2 121----Gln) and hemoglobin Constant Spring (Hb CoSp) is described. The 24-year-old man did not have clinical symptoms, and his hematological indices were normal. However, he had a persistent slight elevation of fetal hemoglobin level. His mother and his brother were heterozygous for Hb D Punjab; his father had Hb CoSp trait. A sister did not have any abnormal hemoglobin. To show the exact molecular defect leading to the synthesis of Hb CoSp in this family, genomic DNA from the father was analyzed by hybridization with synthetic oligonucleotides. Genomic DNA was digested with Sst I and Hind III producing a 1.05-kb fragment from the 3' end segment of the alpha 2-globin gene, including the termination codon. Two nonadecamers were synthesized to serve as probes: one, entirely homologous to the normal 3' end of alpha 2A-globin gene sequence, including the termination codon TAA, the other different from it by a replacement of the T in the termination codon TAA with C, changing it to CAA, the codon for the amino acid glutamine. DNA from normal controls gave a positive signal with the normal alpha 2TAA oligonucleotide probe but negative with the alpha 2 CAA probe. The father of propositus who had Hb CoSp trait gave a positive signal with the normal alpha 2TAA oligonucleotide probe as well as with the alpha 2CAA oligonucleotide probe, showing him to be heterozygous for the alpha 2CAA-globin gene. This result shows that the Hb CoSp in the Batak family is indeed due to a replacement of T by C in the TAA termination codon of the alpha 2-globin gene changing it to CAA the condon for glutamine. This explains the resulting readthrough of the untranslated sequence of the mRNA.     

Effect of Cycloheximide on the Adaptive Response Induced by Low Dose Radiation

Human lymphocytes pre-exposed to 10 mGy or 50mGy of X-rays become less sensitive to subsequent large dose irradiation,exhibited lower rate of chromosome aberration than expected.This adaptive response could be inhibited by cycloheximide,a protein synthesis inhibitor for successive 2h period ranging from 0.5h before to 4h after the low dose exposure,indicating that the adaptive response was directly related with the protein synthesis.     

Graves病的发病与社会心理因素

对１０７例甲状腺机能亢进症患者和９１名正常人采用艾森克个性问卷及自编社会环境的调查显示：４６．９４％的患者起病前有负性生活事件发生，个性特征甲亢组神经不稳定型及掩饰性评分显著高于正常组，有显著性差异，此结果提示甲亢患者存在明显个性缺陷和负性生活事件，这些因素可作为甲亢发病的一种诱因。     

B超和彩色多普勒超声对原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的诊断价值

报道应用Ｂ型超声及彩色多普勒超声对７６例原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症进行系统研究的结果。总的诊断效率：敏感性７２％，特异性９２％，正确率８７％，阳性预测值６９％，阴性预测值９２％，以正常位置腺瘤的诊断效率最高，Ｂ型超声及彩色多普勒超声的诊断效率进行比较，敏感性有显著差异（Ｐ＜０．０５），正确率有非常显著差异（Ｐ＜０．０１），说明彩色多普勒超声的诊断正确率较高。本文还讨论了Ｂ型超声对甲状旁腺病变的定位价值、各类甲状旁腺病变的鉴别；同时对异位甲状旁腺病变、原发性甲旁亢危象、各种影像诊断的比较等也进行了讨论。     

精神分裂症患者外周血淋巴细胞姊妹染色单体交换的初步观察

检测了18例精神分裂症患者和25例健康人的SCE频率,结果提示患者组SCE频率显著高于对照组,与年龄、性别、病程、临床类型、有无遗传家族史无明显相关。研究提示SCE频率增高似与疾病本身有关。

类风湿性关节炎患者氧化还原物水平的测定

OBJECTIVE: To examine the oxidation or reduction products in patients with rheumatism arthritis (RA), and investigate the relationship between oxidation or reduction products and occurrence and development of RA. METHODS: The serum levels of total ascorbic acid (TAA), dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA)/TAA, vitamin E, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection in 83 RA patients and 30 healthy adults. Correlation analysis of AOPP, MDA and hs-CRP was performed. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, significantly higher serum MDA, DHAA/TAA, and AOPP levels were detected in RA patients (P<0.05), but vitamin E showed no significant difference (P<0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that MDA (P<0.01) was positively but AOPP (P>0.05) negatively correlated to hs-CRP. CONCLUSIONS: Oxidation or reduction products in serum of RA patients increases significantly, which may be an important mechanism for the occurrence and development of RA. Serum AOPP and MDA levels can reflect the oxidation status in RA patients.     

Directed differentiation of Balb/C mouse embryonic stem cells into pancreatic islet-like cell clusters in vitro: observation by atomic force microscope]

OBJECTIVE: To observe the morphological changes of Balb/C mouse embryonic stem cells following directed differentiation into pancreatic islet-like cell clusters (PICC) in vitro using atomic force microscope (AFM). METHODS: Balb/C mouse embryonic stem cells were first cultured into embryonic bodies (EBs) and allowed to differentiate spontaneously for 4 days. The cells were then transferred to gelatin-coated dishes for the EBs to attach and spread on the tissue culture plates, in the course of which a series of cell growth factors such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and nicotinamide were added into the culture medium at specific time points to induce directed differentiation of the stem cells into PICC. Immunocytochemistry was employed to detect the cells positive for insulin and glucagon, which were observed with AFM. RESULTS: The embryonic stem cells developed into cell clusters of different sizes, in which the cells were tightly arranged. Islet B cells were numerous in the center of clusters and darkly stained, but fewer in the peripherals with lighter stains. Islet A cells expressing glucagon were relatively fewer in the cell clusters, found mainly in the peripherals. Scanning of the insulin-positive clusters by AFM revealed large quantity of tissue fibers resembling nerve fibers that formed a reticular structure in disorderly arrangement. Numerous round granules were observed in the cytoplasm of almost identical sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 mum in diameter. CONCLUSION: The cell clusters obtained by directed differentiation are mature in both morphology and function with also well organized structures.
