Altered central micro-opioid receptor binding after psychological trauma.

BACKGROUND: Functional neuroimaging studies have detected abnormal limbic and paralimbic activation to emotional probes in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but few studies have examined neurochemical mechanisms that underlie functional alterations in regional cerebral blood flow. The mu-opioid neurotransmitter system, implicated in responses to stress and suppression of pain, is distributed in and is thought to regulate the function of brain regions that are implicated in affective processing. METHODS: Here we examined the micro-opioid system with positron emission tomography and the micro-opioid receptor-selective radiotracer [11C] carfentanil in 16 male patients with PTSD and two non-PTSD male control groups, with (n = 14) and without combat exposure (n = 15). Differences in micro-opioid receptor binding potential (BP2) were detected within discrete limbic and paralimbic regions. RESULTS: Relative to healthy controls, both trauma-exposed groups had lower micro-opioid receptor BP2 in extended amygdala, nucleus accumbens, and dorsal frontal and insular cortex but had higher BP2 in the orbitofrontal cortex. PTSD patients exhibited reduced BP2 in anterior cingulate cortex compared with both control groups. Micro-opioid receptor BP2 in combat-exposed subjects without PTSD was lower in the amygdala but higher in the orbitofrontal cortex compared with both PTSD patients and healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: These findings differentiate the general response of the micro-opioid system to trauma from more specific changes associated with PTSD.

木聚糖酶的分子进化

运用生物信息学方法,通过构建木聚糖酶进化树,研究了两个家族的分子进化,发现它们进化模式有差别,F/10家族木聚糖酶在进化时间上较早,功能分化不太完全,具有部分糖苷酶属性,在分解产物中含有较多单糖;而G/11家族木聚糖酶在进化时间则相对较近,多在真菌中出现,功能分化较为完全,很少含有糖苷酶的属性,分解产物中低聚寡糖成分较多.F/10木聚糖酶分子进化显示出生物进化来源于高温环境,热稳定性比G/11木聚糖酶高,这与它们三维结构的不同有关.所以,木聚糖酶的进化方向是功能的进一步分化和底物特异性的进一步增加,这个结果对木聚糖酶的合理应用具有指导意义.     

不同浓度臭氧注入猪椎间盘后氧化效果的实验研究

目的观察低、中、高浓度臭氧注入猪正常椎间盘后不同时间段髓核组织的变化,探索既高效又安全的臭氧浓度,为临床注射臭氧治疗腰椎间盘突出症提供实验依据。方法小型猪10只,于透视下用21G Chiba针刺入猪腰椎间盘中心部,经穿刺针注入臭氧3 ml,重复3次,在椎间孔处注入5 ml于椎旁组织内。其中L5~6,L4~5,L3~4和L2~3分别注入臭氧浓度为90μg/ml,60μg/ml,30μg/ml及无菌空气,L6~S1不进行任何干预,为空白对照。分别在注射后1天、1周、1个月、2个月和3个月后处死动物各2只,在相同时间点进行CT及MR检查。处死后取出椎间盘及椎旁肌肉标本,作大体和光镜下观察,对髓核氧化及退变程度进行量化评分。结果术后3个月内髓核氧化及退变程度评分随时间推移逐渐增高,臭氧浓度越高,增高趋势越明显。术后MRI随访1个月时高浓度组髓核信号T2加权开始减低,其他组不明显。术后2个月注射组所有椎间盘信号均减低,臭氧浓度越高,信号减低越明显。光镜下1天出现髄核细胞的肿胀变性,1周髄核细胞出现与注射浓度正相关的体积缩小和基质含量减少,此后胶原纤维增生,逐渐取代髄核组织,在3个月时,高浓度组髄核干涸的程度,继发纤维化均较中、低浓度组高,并且出现相邻椎体骨性融合。中、高浓度椎旁肌肉注射1周时出现肌纤维肿胀变性及间质黏液变性。结论臭氧浓度越高,髄核的干涸效果越明显,椎间盘退行性变也越明显。高浓度臭氧盘内注射,3个月后椎间盘退变严重,不宜进行临床应用,椎旁肌肉内不宜注射中、高浓度臭氧。

Incidence of Type 2 diabetes in England and its association with baseline impaired fasting glucose: the Ely study 1990-2000.

AIM: To determine the incidence of Type 2 diabetes and to examine the effect of different cut-points for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) on diabetes incidence. METHODS: Population-based longitudinal study (1990-2000) with clinical, anthropometric and biochemical measurements, including an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), in 1040 non-diabetic adults aged 40-69 years at baseline. Baseline glucose status was defined as normoglycaemia < 5.6, IFG-lower 5.6-6.0 and IFG-original 6.1-6.9 mmol/l. The all-IFG group included fasting glucose values of 5.6-6.9 mmol/l. RESULTS: The 10-year cumulative incidence of diabetes was 7.3 per 1000 person-years. Diabetes incidence was 2.4 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2, 4.8], 6.2 (4.0, 9.8) and 17.5 (12.5, 24.5) per 1000 person-years in those with normoglycaemia, IFG-lower and IFG-original, respectively. Compared with normoglycaemia, the age/sex-adjusted risk [hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI] for incident diabetes was greatest in the IFG-original category (HR 6.9; 3.1, 15.2) and increased to a lesser degree in the IFG-lower (HR 2.5; 1.1, 5.7) and all-IFG categories (HR 4.1; 1.9, 8.7). When adjusted for confounding factors, the magnitude and direction of associations persisted, with HR 1.9, 4.4 and 2.9, for the categories IFG-lower, IFG-original and all-IFG, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes incidence is more strongly related to IFG defined as fasting glucose between 6.1 and 6.9 mmol/l than to the lower category of 5.6-6.0 mmol/l, or entire range of 5.6-6.9 mmol/l. Future studies should examine the association of IFG with cardiovascular outcomes, but for diabetes risk our study supports the use of the IFG cut-point at 6.1 mmol/l.     

P物质抑制剂辣椒素和bFGF抗体对增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞增殖协同抑制作用的实验研究

目的：探讨P物质抑制剂-辣椒素及bFGF抗体单独或联合使用对体外培养的人体增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞增殖的影响。方法：体外培养12例增生性瘢痕组织的成纤维细胞,分别加入不同浓度的辣椒素或/和bFGF抗体,培养24h后观察细胞形态学变化,并用MTT法检测细胞增殖抑制率。结果：所有不同浓度的辣椒素（2.5,5,20,40,60,80mg/L）均能使细胞皱缩、坏死,抑制细胞增殖,其抑制作用随剂量增大而增加。中高浓度bFGF抗体（40,80mg/L）也可促使细胞皱缩、坏死,抑制细胞增殖,其抑制作用也随剂量增大而增加。辣椒素与bFGF抗体联合应用对成纤维细胞抑制作用较单独使用效果更显著（P﹤0.05）。结论：辣椒素及bFGF抗体可抑制增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞增殖,其抑制作用随浓度增加而增加,两者联合使用有协调作用,本研究结果可能在增生性瘢痕的治疗提供新的思路和手段。

女性腹膜原发癌临床病理分析

目的：分析12例女性腹膜原发癌(FPCP)(10例浆液癌、1例黏液癌、1例子宫内膜样癌)的临床病理及免疫组化特征，以引起临床医师重视。方法：复习我院1992至2002年间12例FPCP患者临床资料及病理切片，收集随访资料，记录大体标本所见，调出全部蜡块重新切片，并行PAS染色及细胞角蛋白(CK)7、CK20、ER、PR、牛血清清蛋白100(S-100)、卵巢癌抗原(CA)125、癌胚抗原(CEA)、CD15免疫组化染色。结果：12例患者年龄在32—67(平均48.75)岁，10／11例患者血CA125明显增高。组化及免疫组化染色示阳性者：PAS为7／11，CK7为10／11，CK20为10／11，CD15为11／11，S-100为8／11，CA125为6／11，CEA为6／11，ER为4／11，PR为2／11。黏液性腹膜癌预后极差，其余类型与卵巢原发性上皮癌相似。结论：女性FPCP被认为起源于中肾旁管(Muller管)，组织学上与同类型的卵巢癌一致，在排除卵巢原发癌的基础上可作出诊断，免疫组化有助于区分女性FPCP、腹膜间皮瘤和卵巢原发癌。本病预后差。
