In vitro histoculture of human tumors with fluorescent dye end-points measured by confocal microscopy: high correlation of in vitro and in vivo chemosensitivity.

Tumors from 40 patients and 7 established human xenograft tumor lines were grown in three-dimensional histoculture. A Viable-Cell-Index (VCI) based on fluorescent dyes and Growth Fraction Index (GFI) based on [3H]thymidine incorporation were measured by confocal microscopy and histological autoradiography, respectively, after treatment with cytotoxic agents. Chemosensitivity in vitro with the two methods was correlated with chemosensitivity of the same set of human xenografted tumor lines grown in nude mice. The percent accuracy of in vitro to in vivo correlation with VCI (73%) was higher than GFI (63%). The number of false positives with VCI was 12.1% (4/33), and with GFI was 31.3% (10/32). The results thus indicated that in vitro histoculture with fluorescent vital-dye end-points to measure cell viability is of potential use to determine tumor chemosensitivity.     

BIOEQUIVALENCE BETWEEN rhGH FOR RECONSTITUTION AND READY-TO-USE rhGH IN TWO LIQUID FORMULATIONS

Objective To evaluate the bioequivalence between recombinant human growth hormone （rhGH） for reconstitution, and two dosages of liquid formulation of rhGH [ （151U） 5mg or （301U） lOmg per 3ml ]. Methods The study drugs were tested in a randomized, single-blind and three-period crossover studies in 24 healthy male subjects. The three drugs were administered by subcutaneous injection at a dose of O. 21U/kg body weight. A continuous somatostatin infusion was given in order to suppress the secretion of endogenous GH. The ve- nous blood samples were drawn at different time points to test the serum concentration of GH. The pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed by statistical methods. Results 90% confidence intervals （CI） of AUC0-24h among three products were all within 80% - 125% interval （ 103. 4% - 116. 5%, 105. 7% - 119. 6% and 91.9% - 103. 7%, respectively）, and the Cls of C,~ among three products were all within 70% - 143% interval （91.9% - 114. 0%, 103. 7% -127. 2% and 81.6% -97. 4%, respectively）. There was no statisitical difference of tmax among all the three products. Conclusion These data demonstrate that there is bioequivalence between rhGH for reconstitution and two liquid formulations of rhGH.     

Developmental changes of glutamate acid decarboxylase 67 in mouse brain after hypoxia ischemia

Objective To study the developmental changes of glutamic acid decarboxylase-67 (GAD-67, a GABA synthetic enzyme) in normal and hypoxic ischemic (HI) brain. Methods C57/BL6 mice on postnatal day (P) 5, 9, 21 and 60, corresponding developmentally to premature, term, juvenile and adult human brain were investigated by using both Western blot and immunohistochemistry methods either in normal condition or after hypoxic ischemic insult. Results The immunoreactivity of GAD67 was up regulated with brain development and significant difference was seen between mature (P21, P60) and immature (P5, P9) brain. GAD67 immunoreactivity decreased in the ipsilateral hemisphere in all the ages after hypoxia ischemia (HI) insult, but, significant decrease was only seen in the immature brain. Double labeling of GAD67 and cell death marker, TUNEL, in the cortex at 8h post-HI in the P9 mice showed that (15.6±7.0)% TUNEL positive cells were GAD67 positive which was higher than that of P60 mice. Conclusion These data suggest that GABAergic neurons in immature brain were more vulnerable to HI insult than that of mature brain.     

医学司法鉴定中精神病患者反复上访原因分析

目的 了解司法鉴定中精神病患者反复上访原因。方法 对诊断为无精神病者与诊断为精神病偏执型人格障碍、偏执性精神病、精神分裂症者的上访诱因、动机、目的、内容、时间、形式、有否过激行为等进行比较。结果 上访诱因、动机、目的等方面以生活、工作、经济问题为主；上访时间以患病5—20a者居多。共33例(71．73％)：上访者中有过激行为者21例(45．65％)。结论 精神病患者上访者中以偏执型人格障碍、偏执性精神病、精神分裂症居多。其特点与正常人有所区别。这就要求政府部门在接待上访者及处理上访问题时。应加以严格区分并正确、合理解决上访要求。以免产生不良的社会问题。     

重组2型腺相关病毒-转化生长因子β3对实验性肝纤维化大鼠肝脏组织病理学和Ⅰ型胶原表达的影响

Objective To investgate the effects of TGF β 3 on rat hepatic fibrosis. Methods The TGF β 3 cDNA was cloned into rAAV2 vector. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, negative control group and TGF β 3 group. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by hypodermic injection of 40% CCI4. Recombinant AAV2-TGF β 3 viral particles were injected via the vena caudalis one week before CCh treatment. Rats were executed 8 weeks after CCI4 treatment, global histological change was observed after HE staining, the distribution of the collagen fibers was observed after masson staining, his-tochemistry was done to observe the expression of collagen Ⅰ; The positive area rate of the collagen fibers and the average optical rate of collagen Ⅰ were quantified. Results HE staining indicated that collagen fibers were reduced in the TGF β 3 group. Masson staining shown that the collagen fibers were distributed around the blood vessel, in the portal area and disse space. Compared to the model group (13.2%±2.2%) and negative control group (12.3%±1.5%), the collagen fibers in liver tissues of TGF β3 group (7.7% ± 1.5%) were significantly decreased (q = 9.456, P < 0.01; q = 8.217, P < 0.01). Histochemistry indicated that the collagen fibers of liver tissues of TGF 15 3 group (0.185±0.033) were significantly higher than those in the model group (0.252±0.042) and the negative control group (0.230±0.029), (q = 6.228, P < 0.01; q = 4.346, P < 0.01). Conclusion TGF β 3 alleviates the damage to hepatic cell and the level offibrosis in CCI4 treated rats and inhibits the expression of collagen Ⅰ.
