目的:了解TGF-β受体和整合素在瘢痕增生和挛缩过程中的作用.方法:通过荧光定量PCR法(FQ-PCR)测定经TGF-β受体、整合素和粘着斑激酶(FAK)抗体阻断后培养的瘢痕成纤维细胞TGF-β受体以及整合素表达量的变化.结果:经不同抗体阻断后培养的瘢痕成纤维细胞其TGF-β RI和整合素β 1的基因拷贝数均较阴性对照组有不同程度的下降(P＜0.05).结论:TGF-β受体和整合素介导的信号传导途径间可能存在着正反馈的效应,共同促进瘢痕的增生和挛缩.FAK是两条信号传导途径的交汇点和作用的中心环节.     

Inhibitory effects of benzoate on chiral inversion and clearance of N(G)-nitro-arginine in conscious rats.

N(G)-nitro-arginine (NNA) is known to exhibit stereoselective pharmacokinetics in which N(G)-nitro-d-arginine (d-NNA) has a faster clearance rate than N(G)-nitro-l-arginine (l-NNA) in anesthetized rats, and d-NNA undergoes unidirectional chiral inversion. It was postulated that chiral inversion of d-NNA was performed in a two-step pathway by d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) followed by an unidentified transaminase. Such chiral inversion contributes (at least partially) to the pharmacokinetic stereoselectivity of NNA. This study used the selective inhibitor of DAAO, sodium benzoate, to test the above hypothesis. An i.v. bolus injection of d-NNA (32 mg/kg) and l-NNA (16 mg/kg) in conscious rats exhibited biphasic disposition with different pharmacokinetic parameters in a stereospecific manner (approximately 5-10-fold differences). Unidirectional chiral inversion of d-NNA but not l-NNA was found from these animals. In addition to its similar inhibitory effects on the d-NNA conversion and DAAO activity in kidney homogenates, sodium benzoate completely blocked chiral inversion of d-NNA and led to a smaller stereospecific difference, reflected by a nearly 50% reduction of d-NNA clearance and a 2-fold increase in t(1/2) and area under the curve of d-NNA in benzoate-pretreated rats. The results suggest that DAAO plays an essential role in chiral inversion of d-NNA and chiral inversion contributes mostly to the pharmacokinetic stereospecificity of NNA.     

原发性软骨肉瘤CT诊断2例

软骨肉瘤的X线诊断已有较多研究,但软骨肉瘤的CT诊断较少研究,为此,提供经穿刺活检病理证实的软骨肉瘤2例,以提高对软骨肉瘤的CT诊断水平。病例1男,52岁。左肩关节疼痛、活动受限10年余,加重半年。查体:左肩关节活动受限、僵直,不能抬举。实验室检查:碱性磷酸酶增高。CT表现:左肱骨、干骺端骨质破坏,病变上下连续约6·0cm,中心呈大囊状,周围呈小囊状,破坏区中见1·5cm×1·5cm的不规则高密度灶,肱骨外侧骨皮质不连续,向周围软组织侵犯,形成软组织肿块,肿块内钙化灶呈斑块状。无骨膜反应,肩关节间隙可,关节面未见侵犯(图1)。CT诊断:①左…     

IDEC-131 (Anti-CD154), Sirolimus and Donor-Specific Transfusion Facilitate Operational Tolerance in Non-Human Primates

CD154-specific antibody therapy prevents allograft rejection in many experimental transplant models. However, initial clinical transplant trials with anti-CD154 have been disappointing suggesting the need for as of yet undetermined adjuvant therapy. In rodents, donor antigen (e.g., a donor blood transfusion), or mTOR inhibition (e.g., sirolimus), enhances anti-CD154's efficacy. We performed renal transplants in major histocompatibility complex-(MHC) mismatched rhesus monkeys and treated recipients with combinations of the CD154-specific antibody IDEC-131, and/or sirolimus, and/or a pre-transplant donor-specific transfusion (DST). Therapy was withdrawn after 3 months. Triple therapy prevented rejection during therapy in all animals and led to operational tolerance in three of five animals including donor-specific skin graft acceptance in the two animals tested. IDEC-131, sirolimus and DST are highly effective in preventing renal allograft rejection in primates. This apparently clinically applicable regimen is promising for human renal transplant trials.     

两种不同方法测定低水平压力支持通气时气道阻断压与自主呼吸时常规方法测定值的相关性分析

目的 拟比较以两种不同方法测定低水平压力支持通气（pressure support ventilation，PSV）病人的气道阻断压（P0．1）与自主呼吸时常规方法测定值的相关性。方法 12例机械通气病人，断开呼吸机自主呼吸时以常规方法测定P0．1得到P0．1-SB：在PSV水平为5cmH20，以常规方法和按压呼气末暂停键测定P0．1分别得到P0．1-PSV5和P0．1-PSV5eeo．分析后二者与前者之间的相关性。结果 P0．1-SB与P0．1-PSV5之间差异无显著性，P0．1-PSV5ee0分别小于P0．1-SB与P0．1-PSV5，差异有显著性；P0．1-PSV5eeo与P0．1-PSV5和P0．1-SB之间的相关系数均为0．97。结论 按压呼气末暂停键测定PSV水平为5cmH2O的P0．1值与常规方法测定的PSV水平为5cmH2O以及自主呼吸时的测定值相比，其值偏小,但前者与后二者之间具有良好的相关性。

系统性健康教育对改善焦虑病人症状的影响

焦虑症是以焦虑、紧张、恐惧等情绪障碍为主,常伴有自主神经系统症状和运动性不安等[1].主要表现为惊恐发作和广泛性焦虑两种形式.随着社会的发展、生活节奏的加快、竞争的激烈、社会分工的多元化、婚姻的变故、考试的不理想等生活事件,使人们的精神压力大为增加[2].以往的传统求稳心态已落后于时代的发展,一种以焦虑情绪为主的神经症已成为一个时代的现代疾病.焦虑症的发展有逐年上升的趋势,已受到更多人的关注和注意.对焦虑症病人实施系统性的健康教育,降低焦虑症的复发率具有重要的意义.……
