负载乳腺癌抗原单核细胞来源树突状细胞迁移能力的调控因素研究

目的：体外培养乳腺癌抗原负载的人单核细胞来源DC，应用不同刺激因子使其表面CCR7表达上调，在体外观察其迁移能力。方法：用rhGM-CSF和rhIL-4诱导MoDCs，并负载乳腺癌抗原后，分别与PGE2、LTC4或Bryo-1共培养，检测其表型及其功能变化。结果：PGE2、LTC4和Bryo-1在体外不影响MoDCs刺激淋巴细胞增殖能力和自体特异性淋巴细胞杀伤活性。与对照组MoDCs相比，PGE2和LTC4作用MoDCs后CD86表达增高，可以上调CCR7 mRBA和蛋白表达（P〈0．05）。PGE2可以使MoDCs对其配体CCL19和CCL21反应性增强（P〈0．05），而LTC4仅能使MoDCs对CCL19反应性增强。Bryo-1虽然可以促进MoDCs成熟，使其CCR7 mRNA表达增强，但在CCR7蛋白表达、迁移能力方面与对照组相似。结论：以PGE2和LTC4作用MoDCs后可以通过上调其CCR7表达，促进其迁移趋化能力。

Cytoplasm-to-myonucleus ratios in plantaris and soleus muscle fibres following hindlimb suspension

Summary In multinucleated skeletal muscle fibres the size of the cytoplasmic volume-to-myonucleus ratio is related to the myosin heavy chain phenotype, with the ratio being larger in those fibres expressing the fast myosin heavy chain phenotype. It is unknown, however, whether this ratio is modulated during muscle fibre adaptation, such as that which occurs following muscle unloading. In this study the relationship between cross sectional area, myonuclear number and myosin type, in single fibres from the plantaris and soleus muscles of adult rats following 28 days of hindlimb suspension was examined. Each fibre was cut transversely into two segments; one segment was used for immunohistochemical identification of myosin type, the other for determination of cross sectional area and myonuclei number. Single fibre analysis revealed significant atrophy of both plantaris fast and soleus slow fibres; the mean cross sectional area (m²) of these fibres, 3104±183 and 2082±107 (mean ±se), being 70 and 45%, respectively, of control means. The decreases in cross sectional area were not accompained by corresponding decreases in the number of myonuclei (myonuclei/mm); in plantaris fast fibres the mean myonuclei counts were within the control range (88±8 (hindlimb suspension), 76±7 (control)), in soleus slow fibres the counts were significantly increased (185±12 (hindlimb suspension), 154±11 (control)). The changes resulted in a significant decrease in the cytoplasmic volume-to-myonucleus ratio (m³×10³) for both fibre types; the mean ratios of 39±3 and 12±1, were 60% and 36% of control means for the plantaris fast and soleus slow fibres, respectively. These results indicate that following hindlimb suspension atrophy of muscle fibres the myonuclei numbers remain constant or increase and, hence, the effective cytoplasmic-to-myonucleus ratio is decreased. Further, the described changes are significantly greater in soleus slow than plantaris fast fibres.     

Androgen receptor YAC transgenic mice carrying CAG 45 alleles show trinucleotide repeat instability

X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the first exon of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. Disease-associated alleles (37-66 CAGs) change in length when transmitted from parents to offspring, with a significantly greater tendency to shift size when inherited paternally. As transgenic mice carrying human AR cDNAs with 45 and 66 CAG repeats do not display repeat instability, we attempted to model trinucleotide repeat instability by generating transgenic mice with yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) carrying AR CAG repeat expansions in their genomic context. Studies of independent lines of AR YAC transgenic mice with CAG 45 alleles reveal intergenerational instability at an overall rate of approximately 10%. We also find that the 45 CAG repeat tracts are significantly more unstable with maternal transmission and as the transmitting mother ages. Of all the CAG/CTG repeat transgenic mice produced to date the AR YAC CAG 45 mice are unstable with the smallest trinucleotide repeat mutations, suggesting that the length threshold for repeat instability in the mouse may be lowered by including the appropriate flanking human DNA sequences. By sequence-tagged site content analysis and long range mapping we determined that one unstable transgenic line has integrated an approximately 70 kb segment of the AR locus due to fragmentation of the AR YAC. Identification of the cis - acting elements that permit CAG tract instability and the trans -acting factors that modulate repeat instability in the AR YAC CAG 45 mice may provide insights into the molecular basis of trinucleotide repeat instability in humans.      

糖尿病大鼠创面愈合过程中成纤维细胞增殖及Ⅰ型胶原合成减少

目的：观察链脲佐菌素诱导的大鼠糖尿病复合创伤修复过程中成纤维细胞增殖与胶原合成的变化。 方法： 实验采用Wistar大鼠112只，随机分对照组和模型组。模型组大鼠腹腔注射链脲佐菌素（STZ）55 mg/kg，3周后各组动物复合背部2.04 cm²全厚皮切除形成伤口。观察创面愈合时间和愈合率；采用HE染色和免疫组化法观察成纤维细胞和增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)表达水平；采用苦味酸-天狼星红染色和图像分析技术观察创面Ⅰ、Ⅲ型胶原含量及Ⅰ/Ⅲ型比值。 结果： STZ诱发的糖尿病大鼠复合创伤后创面的愈合时间为(27.13±1.81)d，明显长于对照组（15.25±1.67）d，P<0.01；模型组在创伤第3、7和15 d创面愈合率明显低于对照组，分别P<0.01；在3、5、7和9 d模型组创面成纤维细胞数量和PCNA表达也明显少于对照组，分别P<0.05和P<0.01。两组创面在不同时点上Ⅰ型胶原分布均呈递增趋势，但对照组明显多于模型组，分别P＜0.05；尽管对照组在创伤3、7 d Ⅲ型胶原含量高于模型组，但在创伤3、7和11 d模型组Ⅰ/Ⅲ胶原比值都明显低于对照组，分别P＜0.01。 结论： STZ可能通过影响创面细胞增殖和创面胶原合成，从而导致创面愈合迟缓。

Techniques of exposure for the stiff total knee

Primary and revision total knee arthroplasty have become common orthopaedic procedures. The operating surgeon, at times, may be faced with a difficult surgical case due to soft tissue contractures or bone deformities. A review of multiple surgical techniques using soft tissue releases and osteotomies are presented including their potential complications. Although these techniques are aimed at the atypical operative case, the operating surgeon may utilize them for ‘routine’ exposures as well. Importance is focused on the functional integrity of the knee extensor mechanism.
