The hepatitis B immunization programme in Singapore

A voluntary immunization programme to prevent perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Singapore was implemented on 1 October 1985 as an integral component of the national childhood immunization programme. Up to April 1988, a total of 68,845 mothers who attended government maternal and child health clinics were screened for the disease. Of these, 2432 (3.5%) were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and 904 (1.3%) for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Virtually all the babies born to carrier mothers completed the full immunization schedule; and in addition, those of HBeAg-positive mothers were given a dose of hepatitis B immunoglobulin at birth. The hepatitis B immunization programme was extended on 1 September 1987 to cover all newborns. About 90% of the 15,943 babies delivered in government institutions from September 1987 to April 1988 were immunized at birth, with the subsequent doses being administered at maternal and child health clinics at 4-6 weeks and 5 months later. More than 85% of the children given the full course of plasma-derived and yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccine from birth continued to have protective antibody to HBV two years after immunization. The programme is being closely monitored to assess the duration of immunity and the need for booster doses, while seronegative adults are also being encouraged to be vaccinated.     

围产儿与儿童胸腺的病理改变

The most outstanding pathological changes of perinatal babies and children, based on the review of the autopsy files in the 1st Affiliated Hospital of West China University of Medical Sciences, are lymphocytic depletion, and reticuloepithelial cell swelling and/or fusiform malformation in the cortex, while in the medulla apoptosis is more prominent. We suppose that these alterations are due to immaturity of cortical thymocytes, and in the diseased condition, they are easily affected by extraordinary factors, especially the influence of corticosterone inducing acute severe necrosis, so the number of lymphocytes are obviously diminished. But, in the medulla, as intact mature lymphocytes exist, physiological phenomenon such as apoptosis is rather prominent in it. While in the medulla, Hassall's corpuscles have various characteristic changes, such as cornification, calcification, fusion, cystic change and disintegration. Besides, we observed a new alteration in the thymus defined as vacuolization. All the above pathological changes reached the peak in the 28- day group; there after, they might become either worse or better according to the condition of the disease and growth of the body. However, these are still problems to be further studied separately.     

甲基黄酮醇胺盐酸盐对异丙肾上腺素正性频率作用的影响

本文比较了甲基黄酮醇胺盐酸盐(MFOA)、普萘洛尔(Pro)、维拉帕米(Ver)对异丙肾上腺素(Iso)所致兔离体右心房正性频率作用的影响。Pro使Iso累积浓度反应曲线平行右移,不抑制最大反应,属于典型的竞争性抑制剂,其pA2=8.43;MFOA和Ver使Iso量效曲线向下右移,抑制最大反应,为非竞争性拮抗。MFOA(2×10~(-5)M)和Ver(2×10~(-7)M)分别使最大反应下降19.28％和48.57％,其pD'2值分别为4.07±0.14、6.68±0.15。结果表明MFOA的作用不同于Pro,和Ver相似。     

对中国药典诺氟沙星对照品在不同溶媒中的稳定性研究

目的：考察不同溶媒配制的诺氟沙星对照品溶液能否保存。方法：用紫外分光光度法分别对5℃放置的使用不同溶媒的对照品溶液在0d、10d、20d、30d、40d测定最大吸收波长、吸收值。结果；以0．4％NaOH溶液为溶媒的诺氟沙星对照液于5℃放置40d，最大吸收波长、吸收值均未发生变化（无显著性差异P＞0．05）。而以pH4.0醛酸缓冲液、pH7．4磷酸盐缓冲液为溶媒的两种对照液5℃放置40d，最大吸收波长未发生变化，但吸收值明显降低（有显著性差异P＜0．05）。结论：用0．4％NaOH溶液配制的诺氟沙星对照品溶液在适宜的条件下（5℃，避光密闭）保存，40d内是稳定的，可继续使用。而用pH4．0醋酸缓冲注和pH7．4磷酸盐缓冲液配制的诺氟沙星对照品溶液则不能保存使用，必须临用新配。

~（99m）Tc－新半乳糖白蛋白体外受体介导结合特性的研究

本文报道￣９９ｍＴｃ－新半乳糖白蛋白（￣９９ｍＴｃ－ＮＧＡ）与大鼠肝细胞膜进行体外结合试验。结果表明：￣９９ｍＴｃ－ＮＧＡ系与肝细胞膜上的高亲和力低容量（Ｋ＿１：８．４０８９×１０￣９Ｌ／ｍｏｌ；Ｒ＿１：１．７３５０×１０￣（－１２）ｍｏｌ／ｍｇ）和低亲和力高容量（Ｋ＿２：２．０８２７×１０￣８Ｌ／ｍｏｌ；Ｒ＿２：６．９５３０×１０￣（－１２）ｍｏｌ／ｍｇ）２个结合位点相结合，其结合表现出高特异性、可饱和性及对细胞膜蛋白浓度的线性依赖性，具备受体介导结合的基本特征。￣（９９ｍ）Ｔｃ－ＮＧＡ是一个很有希望的肝受体显像剂。     

双氢杨梅树皮素对兔胸主动脉条平滑肌收缩反应的影响

用兔胸主动脉条研究双氢杨梅树皮素对去甲肾上腺素（NE）、KCl和CaCl2所致兔胸主动脉条收缩反应量效曲线的影响。双氢杨梅树皮素能显著地抑制NP、KCl和CaCl2所致兔胸主动脉杂的收缩，量效曲线右移，最大反应降低，对高K 所致兔胸主动脉条收缩的抑制作用明显大于NE所致兔胸主动脉条收缩的抑制作用。双氢杨梅树皮素对NE引起的依赖内Ca2 释放的收缩有明显抑制作用，而对NE依赖细胞外Ca2 性收缩区在较高浓度时才显示抑制作用，提示双氢杨梅树皮素可能对电压依赖性钙通道（PDC）有选择性阻滞作用。
