Cytokine-activated natural killer cells exert direct killing of hepatoma cells harboring hepatitis C virus replicons.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific impairments in host immunity have been described at multiple levels of the innate and adaptive response, which may lead to viral persistence in the majority of infections. Understanding of HCV-associated immune defects could lead to novel therapeutic advances. Natural killer (NK) cells, the major effector cells of the innate immune system, are functionally impaired in chronic HCV infection. It has been suggested that this phenotype is a result of virus-specific defects in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that regulate NK cell activity, as normal NK function is restored when they are stimulated ex vivo. In this study, we used human NK cell cytotoxicity assays to evaluate the activation-induced effects of NK cells on the HCV replicon-containing hepatic cells. We found that cytokine-activated NK cells were capable of inducing an HCV-associated, perforin/granzyme-dependent lysis of human hepatoma cells and that this required direct cellular contact and was independent of MHC class I expression levels. In contrast, on removal of cytokine stimulation, NK cells failed to exert any direct cytolytic effect on replicon targets. These findings suggest an important underlying mechanism by which NK cells control HCV infection and, with appropriate understanding of HCV-associated immune defects, could lead to novel therapeutic advances.

颞叶癫痫手术时的皮质脑电描记

提要报告1980年10月至1992年6月间,在皮质脑电描记下手术治疗颞叶癫痫55例,前颞叶切除50例,杏仁核、海马切除5例。皮质脑电描记结果说明,颞叶癫痫的痫灶绝大多数来源于颞叶外侧皮质和颞叶内侧结构。术中皮质脑电描记可提供痫灶的精确部位和范围。     

111例双黄连过敏反应文献分析

目的:分析临床应用双黄连引致的过敏反应的规律。方法:对2000年1月-2004年3月中国期刊网中收录的111例双黄连过敏反应在性别、年龄、发生时间、给药途径和临床表现进行分析。结果:双黄连过敏与年龄、性别无关,与给药途径有关,注射剂易发生过敏反应。该药过敏的临床表现有:过敏性休克67例(60%),皮肤黏膜症状61例(55%),其他类型过敏反应14例(13%)31例同时出现多种过敏症状。过敏发生时间最短为开始用药1m in以内,最长为用药后72h,97例(87%)在用药过程中发生过敏症状。结论:双黄连的过敏反应以速发型过敏反应(如过敏性休克)为主,应是临床关注的重点。     

Efficacy of phototherapy in non-haemolytic hyperbilirubinaemia

Clinical experience of phototherapy for non-haemolytic hyperbilirubinaemia in 3999 infants in Kandang Kerbau Hospital, Singapore, is documented. Phototherapy was most effective in extremely preterm infants with very low birth weight (gestation less than or equal to 32 weeks, birth weight less than or equal to 1500 g) and least effective in full term infants with very low birth weight (gestation greater than or equal to 37 weeks, birth weight less than or equal to 1500 g) and large preterm infants (gestation less than 37 weeks, birth weight greater than 2270 g). Overall, phototherapy was effective in almost all the infants, with a failure rate of only 2.00/1000 infants. No characteristic features common to all the failures could be detected. The bilirubin rebound was usually mild; repeat phototherapy was required in only 30 infants (7.50/1000), with the response to the second exposure comparable to that to the first. No infant required a third exposure. All the infants tolerated phototherapy well, none developing any illness that could be attributed to the treatment. This clinical experience shows that phototherapy for the treatment of nonhaemolytic hyperbilirubinaemia is effective and safe.     

银杏竹鼠肌肉成分对小鼠智力、体力的影响

目的：观察银杏竹鼠肌肉成分对小鼠智力体力的影响。方法：小鼠随机分为七组，通过喂饲银杏竹鼠肌肉干粉连续一个月，用小鼠低温游泳存活时间实验，耐缺氧实验及跳台和记忆获得障碍实验分别记录低温游泳存活时间，缺氧存活时间及第一次错误潜伏期和跳台错误次数。结果：各竹肉组小鼠与普通饲料（ＮＳ）组，普肉组，护宝液组比较，均可明显延长小鼠低温游泳存活时间和缺氧存活时间（Ｐ＜０．０５），与洋参丸组相当（Ｐ＞０．０５），竹肉大／超组小鼠跳台错误次数均减少（Ｐ＜０．０５），竹肉超组小鼠第一次错误潜伏期延长（Ｐ＜０．０５），竹肉大组小鼠第一次错误潜伏期有延长趋势，但无统计学意义。结论：口服银杏竹鼠肌肉成分可增强小鼠学习记忆能力，增强小鼠体质，提高小鼠生活质量。这一结果也提示银杏竹鼠肌肉成分很有可能成为极有应用前景和开发前景的保健食品。
