Reduced 293T cell susceptibility to acrolein due to aldose reductase-like-1 protein expression.

Acrolein is a highly reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde produced endogenously during lipid peroxidation and naturally distributed pervasively in living environments, posing serious threats to human health if not properly metabolized. In this study, we report aldose reductase-like-1 (ARL-1) as a novel enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of acrolein and protects cells from their toxicity. Using purified ARL-1 protein, we determined its enzymatic activity in response to acrolein and defined its steady-state kinetics with K(m) and V(max) at 0.110 +/- 0.012 mM and 3122.0 +/- 64.7 nmol/mg protein/min, respectively. By introducing a functional Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP)/ARL-1 fusion protein into 293T cells, we demonstrated that plating efficiency in liquid culture and focus formation in soft agar increased by more than 60% (p < 0.05), compared to the vector control cells. More significantly, at a low dose of 5 microM acrolein, EGFP/ARL-1 expression enhanced both plating efficiency and focus formation by more than threefold, and the foci (in soft agar) of 293T cells expressing EGFP/ARL-1 were significantly larger than those of the vector control cells. At high concentrations of acrolein (25 and 50 microM), EGFP/ARL-1 protein prevented oncotic death of 293T cells induced by acrolein. In summary, our data demonstrated for the first time that the ARL-1 protein protects 293T cells from acrolein toxicity. Due to the high toxicity and wide distribution of acrolein, this finding is important to the understanding of its detoxification mechanisms.

磁共振成像在乳腺癌中的应用：究竟是进了一步还是退了两步？

目前，人们正对乳腺磁共振成像（magnetic resonance imaging，MRI）的应用进行研究，表现在两个不同方面：一是将MRI列为乳腺癌高危妇女（例如BRCA1和BRCA2基因发生突变者）的筛查方法；二是对乳腺癌确诊或可疑患者行乳腺X线的同时辅以MRI以决定是否选用局部疗法。这两种用途的依据迥然不同。有预置性突变（predisposition mutations）的妇女乳腺癌发病年龄通常较低，此时由于乳腺组织较为致密，因而乳腺X线筛查的敏感性有所减低。

CT对肝内,外阻塞性黄疸的鉴别诊断价值

笔者通过对３５例阻塞怀黄疸的ＣＴ所见，指出了胆道扩张征象可作为鉴别肝内、阻阻塞性黄疸的可靠指标，再结合临床及ＣＴ的初期征象，可更加提高其鉴别诊断准确率。本文对这些指标的可靠性进行重点讨论。提出了该特点是特别胆道管囊肿的重要指征，即后者的胆道扩张为局部性或节段性。本文对良、恶性病变所致的胆道扩张形态亦进行了对照分析，发现二阻之间无明显性差异。

An animal model of chronic tympanic membrane perforation.

Previous investigations into the healing and reconstruction of tympanic membrane (TM) perforations have involved animal models with acute TM perforations. A problem with the acute TM perforation model is that most acute TM perforations will heal spontaneously, both in animals and human beings. A second inadequacy of acute perforation models is that they are not analogous to the salient problem in human beings: long-standing TM perforation. The ideal animal model must have a TM perforation that is permanent, well-epithelialized, and free from infection. The perforation must also be subtotal to preserve a rim of membrane for experimental manipulations. In the chinchilla, we have identified a hardy animal with a short, wide ear canal and relatively large tympanic membranes. Thermal myringectomy, followed by medial infolding of TM microflaps, has resulted in permanent, subtotal chronic TM perforations in the chinchilla animal model. Of the 19 chinchillas (38 TMs) perforated, chronic subtotal perforations were created in 32 ears, 6 to 8 weeks after the initial procedure (84% success). Persistent infection or TM regeneration despite reperforation was recorded in 6 ears (16%) failure). This model is currently being used to assess various biomembrane scaffolds impregnated with growth-promoting substances in the regeneration of a physiologically sound TM, initially in our animal model and then in human beings. We envision the development of a biomembrane disc impregnated with biorecombinant growth factors that may provide a simple office technique for the repair of chronic, non-infected TM perforations.

开颅术后张力性气颅

报告１９８８年１２月～１９９２年１２月开颅术后张力性气颅５例，男４，女１．５例中３例治愈，２例死亡。开颅术后张力性气颅产生的主要原因是颅内占位性病变切除后，脑脊液丢失，使颅内压降低，甚至呈负压状态，外界的气体从切口进入颅内的腔隙，ＣＴ扫描或颅骨Ｘ线平片可以确定诊断，钻孔置管排气是活疗张力性气颅的有效方法，作者探讨了预防此种并发症发生的措施。
