粒细胞集落刺激因子治疗大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注损伤

OBJECTIVE: To study the therapeutic effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: Adult male SD rats were subjected to transient (2 h) middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and scored 48 h later for such neurological functions as spontaneous movement, paresis, forelimb motor function, climbing ability, pain sensation, and position sense. Twenty rats with the total score less than 12 were divided equally into two groups to receive daily subcutaneous injection of 20 microg/kg of G-CSF for 19 days or the same dose of saline injection (control group). The rats in the two groups were also given intraperitoneal injection of Brdu10 mg/kg for 19 days. The neurological functions of the rats in both groups were examined on a weekly basis after MCAO and on day 21, the rats were killed to prepare frozen sections of the brain tissues for double immunohistochemical staining with Brdu and glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody to identify the neural cells newly evolved from the stem cells. RESULTS: The rats in G-CSF group showed better neurological function recovery than the control rats 3 weeks after MCAO (P<0.05). Obvious regeneration of the neural cells was observed around the infarction area in the rats receiving G-CSF treatment. CONCLUSION: G-CSF promotes neurological function recovery and neural cell regeneration after cerebral infarction in rats and can be effective for intervention of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.     

胰腺癌细胞的增殖同膜脂质饱和度,膜胰岛素受体的关系

外源性表皮生长因子(或生长抑素)能促进(或抑制)胰腺癌细胞的增殖。胰腺癌细胞增殖速率的高低与细胞膜脂质饱和度的降、升;与膜胰岛素受体数量的增减密切相关。测定细胞膜脂质饱和度和胰岛素受体数量,是判断胰腺癌增殖状态的灵敏指标,有一定临床价值。     

Subclinical hepatic encephalopathy: relationship between neuropsychological deficits and standard laboratory tests assessing hepatic status.

A multivariate analysis of the relationship between biochemical measures of hepatic function and neuropsychological assessments of specific cognitive domains was performed on data obtained from 74 patients with chronic liver disease and subclinical hepatic encephalopathy. Biochemical tests of hepatic protein synthesis correlated significantly with measures of impaired language efficiency, perceptual speed, and psychomotor efficiency. Biochemical indices of impaired processing of nitrogenous compounds correlated with visuopractic deficits. Hepatic blood flow indices correlated with language inefficiency. Interestingly, biochemical measures of hepatic injury did not demonstrate a significant association with any neuropsychological parameter assessed. These results suggest that subclinical hepatic encephalopathy is the consequence of a multifactorial hepatic dysfunction, and that acute hepatic injury, as assessed by elevation of aminotransferases, does not appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of subclinical hepatic encephalopathy.     

传染病研究40年（1955～1995年）

本文综述本校传染病学教研室１９５５～１９９５年间所取得的科研成果。内容包括１０余种传染病与寄生虫病的临床和基础研究，其中以华支睾吸虫病、恙虫病等有广东特色的传染病以及伤寒、痢疾、病毒性肝炎等影响人民健康最普遍的传染病为重点。反映了建国以来各个时期本教研室对防治这些传染病所作的贡献。所取得的成果，相当一部分通过多年来的验证，已获得广大传染病工作者所认同或列为常规，部分已获得部委级奖励。现在重温这些成果，可能起承前启后的意义。     

低强度超短波对小鼠体质及智力的影响

本实验探讨了低强度超短波对小鼠连续三代辐射,对学习、记忆、拉力、运动耐力和周围血象的影响。用81MHz,10～12V/m 的超短波进行辐射,每天辐射2小时,每周6天。结果表明:经过超短波辐射的各代小鼠与对照组相比,学习能力、记忆能力、拉力及运动耐力有明显的降低,且运动耐力有进行性降低的趋势,而经过辐射的三代小鼠红细胞、血红蛋白含量及白细胞数均明显增高,每个红细胞的血红蛋白含量则低于对照组。

Newer antiviral agents and therapeutic approaches for chronic hepatitis b

A new era in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B began approximately a decade ago. Three oral nucleoside or nucleotide analogues—lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, and entecavir—are now approved in the United States for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Other new oral agents, including telbivudine, clevudine, and emtricitabine, are in various stages of clinical investigation. This article reviews the efficacy and resistance data of these oral antiviral agents, and the preliminary results of combination therapy for chronic hepatitis B.     

Nucleotide sequence and transcriptional regulation of a positive regulatory gene of Shigella dysenteriae.

A 1,937 bp PstI-HindIII fragment containing the ipaR locus was cloned from the large invasion plasmid of Shigella dysenteriae CG097, and its nucleotide sequence was completely determined. The IpaR protein (35 kDa, calculated from the DNA sequence) was synthesized in Escherichia coli chi 1411 minicells containing the 1,937-bp PstI-HindIII fragment. To determine the regulatory role of ipaR for ipa genes, we applied genetic complementation experiments using chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) as reporter. Analyses of CAT activity of the recombinant plasmids containing the 5' flanking sequences of the 24-kDa-protein gene and the ippI, ipaB, ipaC, and ipaD genes defined strong promoters upstream of the 24-kDa-protein gene and ipaD gene, weak promoters upstream of the ippI and ipaB genes, and the absence of any promoter activity for the ipaC gene. Complementation analyses showed that the CAT activity only under direction of the ippI promoter region increased 1.8-fold in the presence of IpaR protein. On the basis of our data, we suggest that an operon comprising ippI, ipaB, and ipaC is positively regulated by IpaR protein which has a trans effect on a DNA sequence upstream of the ippI promoter.     

肺螨病的病理观察

本文报道螨类接种豚鼠气管引起的肺部病变,并对5种常见螨类的致病性进行比较。发现螨类接种后6天豚鼠肺部已形成典型的结节性病灶。结节圆锥形淡黄色,直径1～5mm之间。镜下表现为细支气管炎和细支气管周围炎,肺实质内有明显的异物肉芽肿形成,炎症在螨类接种豚鼠20天时,肺部嗜酸粒细胞浸润不明显,但30或40天时则出现明显的嗜酸细胞浸润,细支气管周围小动脉受到损害,部分小动脉内可见到螨体残骸。5种常见螨炎接种于5组豚鼠可引起大致相同的病变。从而证明豚鼠可作为动物模型以供肺螨病的研究,同时也证明5种常见贮藏螨具有相同的致病性。     

抑肽酶对大鼠血肿周围脑组织炎症反应和细胞凋亡的影响

目的 通过抑肽酶干预,研究大鼠血肿周围脑组织炎症和细胞凋亡的关系,以探讨脑出血后继发性损伤的机制.方法 采用立体定向手术脑尾状核胶原酶注射诱导大鼠脑出血模型,用抑肽酶进行干预,于不同时相点测定TUNEL阳性细胞,用组织病理学HE染色观察不同时相点的炎症浸润情况,用免疫组织化学测定IL-1β的蛋白表达水平.结果 模型组TUNEL阳性细胞造模后6h即出现,24h明显增加,3d达到高峰,7d时仍有较多表达;HE染色见6h血肿内及周围有少量散在白细胞,24h明显增加,48h到高峰,3d时稍减少,7d时仍有较多的白细胞浸润.模型组血肿周围脑组织的IL-1β阳性细胞数在6h即有增加,48h左右达高峰;抑肽酶组与模型组比较,TUNEL阳性细胞在24h、48h、72h时明显减少(P＜0.01);HE染色可见浸润白细胞数目在24h、48h、72h时明显减少(P＜0.01).抑肽酶组IL-1β相应各时间点的阳性表达明显减少,尤以48h、72h较为明显.结论抑肽酶能明显抑制脑出血后的炎症反应和细胞凋亡;而抑制炎症反应很可能是减少脑出血神经细胞凋亡的有效途径之一.
