ULTRASTRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION ON THE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE FROM RABBIT KNEE JOINT AFTER IMMOBILIZATION IN CAST

The articular cartilages from the left knee of 30 rabbits immobilized in casts in functional position were studied under transmission electron microscope. The pathological changes which begin at early stage of immobilization included both degeneration and repair of cartilage. The striking morphological features observed were: (1) most chondrocytes in various layers of cartilage underwent progresive degeneration; (2) the concomitant abnormal proliferation of some chondrocytes happened in a brief period. The changes in mechanical stress caused by immobilization affected the nutrition of cartilage and finally led to its reactive structural reformation.

Electron microscopical demonstration of horseradish peroxidase by use of tetramethylbenzidine as chromogen and sodium tungstate as stabilizer (TMB-ST method): a tracing method with high sensitivity and well preserved ultrastructural tissue.

Until now methods using tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) for electron microscopy (TMB-EM methods) are all unable to provide a maximum demonstration of transported horseradish peroxidase (HRP) while maintaining good ultrastructural tissue preservation. In order to solve this problem, we have attempted to adapt a newly developed, highly sensitive TMB method using sodium tungstate (ST) as the stabilizer (TMB-ST method) for HRP electron microscopic retrograde and anterograde fiber tracing. The present study shows that the TMB-ST method combined with diaminobenzidine-cobalt (DAB-Co) is more sensitive than existing TMB-EM methods and that ultrastructural details are well preserved with this combined method. The resultant reaction product complex after osmication is stable and is observed as characteristic crystal-like structures which are extremely electron dense and often aggregated into clumps. In contrast, the TMB-ST method without the DAB-Co step frequently produces a moderate electron-dense reaction product. Therefore, we recommend the TMB-ST method combined with DAB-Co for HRP electron microscopy.     

静脉内毒瘾者HIV感染的转归及影响因素

对ＨＣＶ血清标记阳性的静脉内毒瘤者进行半年和１５个月随访，并调查影响转归的部分因素。结果显示，静脉内毒瘾者抗－ＨＣＶ自然转阴率分别为１１．０／和３３．３％。单因素和多因素分析均提示转阴率以婚姻状况良好的已婚者较离婚者高、人均年收入高者较低者高，说明婚姻状况和人们的经济水平对毒瘾者抗－ＨＣＶ转阴有一定的影响。     

Structure-activity studies with chiral isomers and with segments of the antimitotic marine peptide dolastatin 10

Eighteen configurational isomers of the antimitotic peptide dolastatin 10 (Bai et al., Biochem Pharmacol 39: 1941-1949, 1990) derived from Dolabella auricularia, together with segments obtained as precursors in its synthesis (Pettit et al., J Am Chem Soc 111: 5463-5465, 1989), were examined as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and as inhibitors of growth of L1210 murine leukemia cells in culture. Dolastatin 10 consists of four amino acids (in order from the amino terminus: dolavaline, valine, dolaisoleucine, and dolaproine), three unique to D. auricularia, linked to an unusual primary amine (dolaphenine, probably derived from phenylalanine) at what would otherwise be its carboxyl terminus. Dolastatin 10 has nine asymmetric carbon atoms, and available isomers included alternate configurations at five positions (positions 9 and 10 in the dolaproine moiety and positions 18, 19 and 19a in the dolaisoleucine moiety). For tubulin polymerization, only alterations at positions 18 and 19 resulted in loss of inhibitory activity of the isomer. In addition, a tripeptide containing dolavaline, valine and dolaisoleucine with all asymmetric carbons identical configurationally to those in dolastatin 10 was found to be about 30% as effective as dolastatin 10 in inhibiting tubulin polymerization. Cytotoxic effects were much more sensitive to alterations in the dolastatin 10 structure. The only modification which did not lead to reduced cytotoxicity was reversal of configuration at position 19a in the dolaisoleucine moiety. Both this isomer and dolastatin 10 had IC50 values of less than 1 nM. Several other isomers had IC50 values with the L1210 cells in the range of 30-90 nM, but these did not correlate well with their inhibitory effects on tubulin polymerization. The tripeptide effective as an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization had no activity against the L1210 cells.

采用多中心、随机、单盲、组间、平行对照的方法对488例原发性高血压患者进行氨氯地平或尼群地平4周治疗观察，显示氨氯地平的降压有效率为90．4％，较尼群地平显著为高。不良反应较少，安全性好。每日只需服药1次，剂量5～10mg，方便病人。     

高原地区健康老年人重返平原后外周血T细胞亚群变化的观察

用单克隆抗体测定了移居高原的老年人重返平原后的T细胞亚群的变化结果:①移居西宁(2260m)组、天峻(3000m)组在西宁所测的OKT_3、OKT_4、OKT_8及OKT_4/OKT_8值与在苏州所测的当地老年人无差异。②移居西宁组急返平原后OKT_3、OKT_8水平明显低于返回平原后居住一年以上者(以下简称返回组)(P<0.01～0.001)但OKT_4/OKT_8无差异。③返回组与世居苏州老年人相比,前者OKT_3、OKT_4、OKT_8及OKT_4。OKT_8增高,其中OKT_3、OKT_4增高明显(P<0.01～0.02),作者认为长期移居高原返回平原后T细胞亚群也可能存在一“脱适应”阶段,即机体重新调整重新平衡的一种形式,这一阶段可能需一年以上。

ＶＥ缺乏组、１／３需要量组、需要量组、３倍需要量组、２０倍需要量组的初断奶小鼠喂养８周后观察Ｔ淋巴细胞转化及Ｍ中诱导ＩＬ－１反应。结果表明，ＶＥ增强半合适、合适剂量ＣｏｎＡ诱导的胸腺、脾脏Ｔ淋巴细胞转化，且半合适剂量诱导的反应高于合适剂量，ＶＥ增强合适剂量ＰＨＡ诱导的脾Ｔ细胞反应，但不影响其诱导胸腺Ｔ细胞反应。ＶＥ还提高ＭΦ诱导ＩＬ－１生成。上述实验以缺乏组反应最弱，３倍量组反应最强，而２０倍量组反有下降趋势。     

淡色库蚊不同发育阶段双向电泳的蛋白质多肽点图谱比较

用双向电泳分析淡色库蚊卵、二令幼虫、四令幼虫、蛹和成虫蛋白质组成.电泳完毕后,用考马斯亮兰G-250染色,结果以成蚊蛋白质多肽点为最多(116点),其次依次为蛹(101点)、卵(70点)、四令幼虫(53点)、二令幼虫(18点)。它们在不同分子量和不同PH 范围内的分布也不同,但总的来看,在幼体阶段(卵、二、四令幼虫及蛹)多偏低分子量和低PI 值的点,发育至成虫阶段,分布走向全面。
