PBT／PC共混体系流变性能与形态结构研究

采用毛细管流交仪测定了ＰＢＴ／ＰＣ共混物的表观粘度、剪切应力，观察了不同共混物组成和不同温度下共混物的流变行为，并借助扫描电镜对共混物和微观形态结构进行分析。结果表明：ＰＢＴ／ＰＣ熔体共混物的流变行为接近假塑性流体．温度对共混物的流变行为影响很大，共混物的熔体粘度在ＰＢＴ／ＰＣ为９０／１０和６０／４０时呈双极值．共混物为两相结构，ＰＣ含量为４－５０％时呈两互锁结构。     

黄连素对培养鸡胚心室肌细胞钙单通道电流的影响

在培养的鸡胚心室肌细胞上，我们采用膜片钳技术的细胞贴附式构型，研究了黄连素（Ｂｅｒｂｅｒｉｎｅ，ＢＲ）对细胞膜钙单通道电流的影响。结果表明：ＢＲ可使心室肌细胞膜钙单通道电流明显增加；钙通道可利用率增加１１４．２％（Ｐ＜０．００１）；钙通道开放概率增加７５．３％（Ｐ＜０．０５）。用心得安阻断β受体或用异搏定阻断钙通道，均可逆转ＢＲ的上述作用。以上提示：①ＢＲ是一种钙通道激活剂；②ＢＲ对钙通道的调节作用依赖于β受体介导的磷酸化过程。     

IL-2R 在急性细胞性排异反应的同种异体尸体移植肾组织中的检测及意义

为探讨白介素－２受体（ＩＬ－２Ｒ，即ＣＤ２５）在同种异体肾移植急性细胞性排异（ＡＣＲ）临床诊断的作用，着重观察移植肾发生（ＡＣＲ）和无ＡＣＲ时，其间质浸润细胞中ＩＬ－２Ｒ阳性细胞数的变化，及其与间质浸润的淋巴细胞的关系。作者选择同期行异体肾移植，且无并发症患者１７例，采用ＰＡＰ四层免疫酶标法，检测移植肾组织中间质浸润细胞中ＩＬ－２Ｒ阳性细胞数的变化。结果显示：无ＡＣＲ的肾组织中，ＩＬ－２Ｒ阳性细胞仅轻度增加，当移植肾出现ＡＣＲ时，ＩＬ－２Ｒ阳性细胞数的增加十分显著，并与间质浸润的ＣＤ８密切相关。作者认为ＩＬ－２Ｒ对于ＡＣＲ的诊断及鉴别诊断具有一定的临床应用价值。     

A multivariate study of protective effects of Zn and Cu against nephrotoxicity induced by cadmium metallothionein in rats.

Factorial experimental design was used to study the protective effects of Zn and Cu on cadmium-metallothionein(CdMT)-induced nephrotoxicity in male Wistar rats. In the factorial design two levels of Zn (0 and 25 mg/kg body weight), two levels of Cu (0 and 12.5 mg/kg), and two levels of CdMT (0.1 and 0.4 mg of Cd/kg) were used as varied factors. The factorial design was complemented with a center point with all three variables at an intermediate setting, i.e., Zn at 12.5 mg/kg, Cu at 6.25 mg/kg, and CdMT at 0.25 mg Cd/kg. Each of the nine combinations of settings was administered to one of nine groups with six rats in each. Zn and Cu were injected sc 24 hr prior to the injection of CdMT. The concentrations of protein and Ca in urine and Ca in renal cortex were used as effects. The relationship between the experimental design settings and the effects were modeled with multiple regression. The multiple regression analysis revealed that for the high dose of CdMT (i) the enhanced values of protein in urine caused by CdMT injection could be more efficiently reduced by Zn than by Cu, and (ii) excessive Ca in urine and renal cortex could be more efficiently reduced by Cu than by Zn. No significant synergism or antagonism between Cu and Zn was found. These models can be used to estimate the dose levels of Zn and Cu which will reduce the toxic effects of CdMT. The treatment of 20.4 mg/kg Zn, for example, will reduce the effects of 0.4 mg Cd/kg as CdMT on protein in urine, and 2.8 mg/kg Cu will reduce the Ca in urine to the levels of those caused by 0.25 mg Cd/kg (no Zn and Cu). Similarly, the effect of 0.4 mg Cd/kg on Ca level in renal cortex can be reduced to that of 0.28 mg Cd/kg as CdMT by 7.98 mg Cu/kg, which is three times as efficient as Zn. The obtained results might be of importance in understanding the mechanism of cadmium toxicity and the potential risk to the health of the population exposed to cadmium occupationally or environmentally.     

Generation of dendritic cells in vitro from peripheral blood mononuclear cells with granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-4, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha for use in cancer immunotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to characterize the requirements in terms of precursors, developmental pathways, and media for the generation of large numbers of mature dendritic cells (DC) under conditions acceptable for use in adjuvant, active immunotherapy strategies for surgically treated malignancies. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Although limited previously by the small numbers accessible, DC-based immunotherapies for malignancy have become more realistic with the development of methods for efficiently generating larger numbers of DC from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in vitro, but these methods rely on clinically unacceptable culture conditions (such as inclusion of fetal bovine serum), necessitating the development of methods for generating functionally equivalent DC in serum-free conditions. METHODS: Plastic-adherent PBMC (from healthy donors and patients with cancer) were incubated for 7 days with granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) with and without tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in fetal bovine serum-containing and serum-free media and were analyzed by Wright's stain for morphology, flow cytometry for phenotype, and mixed lymphocyte reaction for allostimulatory function. RESULTS: Growth in either serum-containing or serum-free media supplemented with GM-CSF and IL-4 yielded a similarly heterogeneous population of cells, 6% to 10% of which had the morphology (large cells with thin projections), immunophenotype (including CD83+), and function of mature DC. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha significantly augmented the number of these mature DC, whereas preculture depletion of CD14+ PBMC virtually eliminated them. CONCLUSIONS: Generation of mature DC in the authors' serum-free clinically applicable conditions is similar to serum-containing conditions and requires CD14+ precursors, differentiation through a CD14-CD83- immature stage under the influence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and maturation into a CD83+ DC under the influence of TNF-alpha.     

Effect of “Re Du Qing” on the activation,proliferation and membrane fluidity of lymphocytes

Summary Effects of Chinese Medicinal Preparation “Re Du Qing” (RDQ) on the activation, proliferation and membrane fluidity of T lymphocytes from human peripheral blood Were studied by means of³H-TdR incorporation and DPH fluorescence polarization. The results showed that “RDQ” can:1) significantly inhibit the activation of T lymphocytes; 2) restrain the proliferation of activated T lymphoblasts in the presence of exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2); and 3) increase the membrane fluidity of T lymphocytes and antagonize the decreased fluidity of lymphocyte membrane mediated by Con A or PHA. The functional abnormalities of T lymphocytes in some autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and the usefulness of RDQ in the treatment of these diseases were also discussed.

珊瑚型人工髋关节置换术的临床随访及松动原因的分析

自１９８３年至今应用珊瑚型人工髋关节置换术共５４例６０髋。其中人工全髋关节置换术３４例４０髋，人工股骨头置换术２０例２０髋。在５４例６０髋珊瑚型人工髋关节置换术中，有３７髋随访６个月～１３年，平均随访时间约７年，疗效满意率为８５．１％，其中假体松动４例占１４．８％，髋臼松动２例７．４％。假体松动原因是假体与股骨负重界面之间没有达到稳定接触，假体与髓腔形状不相匹配，修整髓腔松质骨时，髓腔扩大器应比假体小一号，避免假体与界面存留缝隙。对于髋臼发育不良的患者应避免髋关节旋转中心向外侧移位，应向内上方加深髋臼以减少水平移位距离，其次髋臼植骨加盖勿在负重区。     

原发全身性癫痫遗传流行病学研究

本文报道１００例原发全身性癫痫家系的遗传流行病学研究结果。先证者一级亲属患病率为６．８６％，二级亲属为１．０３％；分别是对照组一级亲属的１３．８３倍和２．０８倍。原发全身性癫痫的遗传度为：一级亲属０．７５２１±０．０６７８，二级亲属０．３５９２±０．０７４６；加权平均０．５７４３±０．０５０２。说明遗传因素起重要作用。发病年龄影响因素分析表明：原发全身性癫痫有一定年龄依从性。ＥＥＧ家系分析显示，该型癫痫一级亲属癫痫样放电明显高于对照组一级亲属，提示癫痫样放电的遗传倾向。     

距骨的血液供应及其临床意义

本文观察了２４侧尸体足标本，均无已知临床血管疾病。在死后３６～４８小时之间行动脉灌注ＡＢＳ填充剂，以化学腐蚀和手工剔除的方法清除软组织。距骨的血供来自小腿下部三根主要动脉的分支，即跗骨管动脉和三角支、近端和远端跗骨窦动脉、颈上支及后结节血管丛。跗骨管动脉常发自足底内侧动脉，而三角支多单独自胫后动脉发出；跗骨管动脉通常比三角支和跗骨窦动脉都来得细小。以上的这些动脉相互吻合，形成了一个骨膜血管网，覆盖于全部的距骨非关节面上。而且，环绕着跗骨管、跗骨窦、距骨颈的上面和距骨体部的内侧面，由三角支、跗骨管动脉、跗骨窦动脉、颈上支及其相互之间的吻合血管网形成了一个不定形的距骨动脉环。本文还讨论了距骨缺血性坏死与动脉环的可能关系，距骨骨折脱位或手术后的缺血性坏死是由于距骨动脉环的毁损或功能受影响所致。三角支在距骨骨折脱位时具有重要意义，手术或手法复位时应注意保护。
