Reactivity of hydroxybenzoic acids in the hydrogen-isotope exchange reaction.

The hydrogen-isotope exchange reaction (T-for-H exchange reaction) between tritiated water vapor (HTO vapor) and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (and it's analog; 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid) were observed at 50 and 70 degrees C in a gas-solid system to reveal the reactivity of a functional group in an aromatic compound having two substituents in the aromatic ring. Further, it was shown that (a) the reactivity of the compounds used in this work follows the Hammett's rule, and (b) the reactivity of trisubstituted aromatic compound could be analyzed by applying the additive property of the Hammett's rule even if the compound contains a substituent at the ortho-position.     

The effect of vascular endothelial growth factor on the healing of ischaemic skin wounds.

The effect of exogenous vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) on wound healing in an ischaemic skin flap model was evaluated in this study. Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Normal incisional wound and H-shaped double flaps were used as the wound models. The study was divided into two parts. In Part I, VEGF protein levels were determined from the incisional and H-shaped ischaemic wounds at 12 and 24 h, postoperatively. In Part II, tensile strength and immunohistochemical stains were examined to determine the level of microvessel density (MVD) at 1 and 2 weeks, postoperatively in simple incisional wounds, ischaemic wounds, and ischaemic wounds following 1 ml (1 microg/ml) exogenous VEGF injections into the subcutaneous tissue. The results showed a significantly higher level of VEGF protein in the ischaemic wounds than the incisional wounds. Tensile strength was statistically higher in the incisional wound group and in the ischaemic flap wounds with VEGF treatment compared to the ischaemic flaps with no treatment at 1 week, postoperatively (p>0.05). MVD data indicated that ischaemic wound repair with VEGF treatment had significantly higher MVD than the normal incisional wounds and ischaemic wounds without treatment. We conclude that exogenous application of VEGF can increase early angiogenesis and tensile strength in the ischaemic wound.     

Atypical fibroxanthoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva in xeroderma pigmentosum.

Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) have defective DNA repair and a high predisposition to developing abnormalities and neoplasia in the sun-exposed areas of the skin and mucous membranes. The most common tumors reported in patients with XP are squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas, and melanomas. Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a pleomorphic tumor that arises predominantly in the sun-damaged skin of the head and neck regions of the elderly. We describe a unique case of a 6-year-old African American boy with XP who developed an atypical fibroxanthoma and 2 squamous cell carcinomas in the conjunctiva. The clinical and histopathologic findings of AFX are discussed.     

Enhanced healing of 30 microns Gore-Tex PTFE microarterial prostheses by alcohol-pretreatment

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microvascular prostheses with a fibril length of 30 microns were pretreated with alcohol (n = 18), implanted into the abdominal aorta of rats and were evaluated at 1 day (n = 3), 1 week (n = 3), 3 weeks (n = 6) and 6 weeks (n = 6) to determine whether alcohol-pretreatment might improve their healing. Untreated PTFE microvascular prostheses (n = 18) functioned as controls (all prostheses: length 10 mm, I.D. 1.5 mm). The alcohol-pretreated PTFE microarterial prostheses were initially completely filled and covered with clot and showed fast and complete healing within 6 weeks: endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells on the luminal surface, and the interstices filled with fibrous-like tissue. In contrast, the untreated PTFE prostheses were initially not filled or covered with clot and showed only healing near the anastomotic sites and scarce tissue ingrowth into the wall. These results demonstrate that alcohol-pretreatment improves the healing characteristics of PTFE microarterial prostheses with a fibril length of 30 microns. The alcohol-pretreatment renders the PTFE material more accessible to clot and subsequently to cells.     

金黄色葡萄球菌D型肠毒素抗血清的制备和致敏血球效果的初步观察

我们制定了制备抗-SED血清的免疫方案,抗原用量6.9mg/兔,注射8针,免疫时间共14周。实验表明,抗-SED血清效价可达1∶128,所制备的抗血清与纯度高(98%)及纯度较低(50%～60%)的SED肠毒素都只产生1条沉淀线,并且融合,同SEA、SEB、SEC_I、SEC_Z均没有交叉反应。硫铵盐析沉淀法提取的抗-SED IgG,用于致敏醛化血球,该抗体诊断致敏血球检出SED灵敏度较高,约1ng/ml。同时用该抗体诊断血球对6种罐头食品人工污染SED肠毒素进行了检验,检出灵敏度为0.78～3.12ng/ml,略低于含纯SED标本,食物成分对反向间接血凝没影响,不出现假阳性和假阴性。效价高或效价低的抗-SED血清都可用于致敏醛化血球。     

四逆汤煎煮过程中乌头类生物碱的溶出和水解平衡

目的 研究四逆汤中乌头类生物碱的溶出平衡和水解平衡。方法 利用电喷雾质谱分析，比较了制附子、四逆汤、四逆汤药渣和含有3种双酯型生物碱的混合对照品体系中的乌头碱类二萜生物碱。结果 在煎煮过程中双酯型生物碱溶解并发生水解反应，而脂类生物碱则难溶于水。乌头碱、中乌头碱、次乌头碱水溶性相近，但是次乌头碱在水中的热稳定性更高，C19二萜骨架上C3取代基(—OH或—H)的变化影响生物碱的稳定性。结论四逆汤中的乌头碱类生物碱的种类及含量由其溶解性和化学稳定性共同决定。
