Biological characterization of Drosophila Rapgap1, a GTPase activating protein for Rap1

The activity of Ras family proteins is modulated in vivo by the function of GTPase activating proteins, which increase their intrinsic rate of GTP hydrolysis. We have isolated cDNAs encoding a GAP for the Drosophila Rap1 GTPase. Drosophila Rapgap1 encodes an 850-amino acid protein with a central region that displays substantial sequence similarity to human RapGAP. This domain, when expressed in Escherichia coli, potently stimulates Rap1 GTPase activity in vitro. Unlike Rap1, which is ubiquitously expressed, Rapgap1 expression is highly restricted. Rapgap1 is expressed at high levels in the developing photoreceptor cells and in the optic lobe. Rapgap1 mRNA is also localized in the pole plasm in an oskar-dependent manner. Although mutations that completely abolish Rapgap1 function display no obvious phenotypic abnormalities, overexpression of Rapgap1 induces a rough eye phenotype that is exacerbated by reducing Rap1 gene dosage. Thus, Rapgap1 can function as a negative regulator of Rap1-mediated signaling in vivo.     

腰椎间盘术后椎间盘炎的诊治

目的：探讨腰椎间盘术后椎间盘炎的病因。早期诊断和治疗问题。方法：分析10例术后腰椎间盘炎的临床表现、血象、血流变化、血和病灶细菌培养、腰椎X线平片、CT、MRI所见在发病后的敏感程度，比较3例非手术与7例经前路腹膜后（2例联合后入路）病灶清除，一期椎间植骨融合本治疗的效果。结果：不同程度的发热、痉挛性腰痛、血流增快是本病的特点。MRI、CF、X线片三者的诊断敏感性存在时间差，分别约为发病后1、3、5周。仅2例血和病灶细菌培养均阳性。前路减压植骨融合术减少全身性抗生素和镇痛剂的使用量，明显缩短病程。结论：ESR、MRI对早期确诊、引导手术价值较高。高热、痉挛性腰痛、血沉增快三者具一持续2周得不到控制，可考虑及早手术。手术疗法近期效果更为确切。     

高压交变电磁场对心血管疾病康复的应用

应用高压交变电磁场对134例冠心病及高血压病患者进行临床应用，结果显效67例，好转55例，无效12例；有效地改善了脂蛋白代谢，降低TG、Tc、LDL-c及致动脉硬化指数．升高HDL-c浓度；降低了高血压病患者的血压；改善了冠心病患者的心电图；同时可改善心功能参数及心室负荷。由此可见，高压交变电磁场能抗动脉粥样硬化，对心血管疾病有显著的治疗作用。

介绍了一种新型的防腐杀菌剂－－二羟甲基二甲海因的合成方法，采用５，－５二甲海因与甲醛在常压、碱性、冰浴下，反应２小时，产率８８．６％。     

三吡萘啶对伯氏疟原虫ANKA株超微结构的影响

受染伯氏疟原虫ＡＮＫＡ株小鼠ｉｇ三吡萘啶游离碱１１ｍｇ／ｋｇ给药后１ｈ可见少数滋养体复合物层次增多且断裂，皱缩，并出现间隙，食物泡融合增大，２ｈ后进一步加剧，且疟原虫髓样物也增多，线粒体肿胀，４ｈ后出现变化的原虫更明显增多，８ｈ后绝大多数滋养体结构多已瓦解，仅留上膜残体及大小不等的空泡，总之，其超微结构的变化与咯萘啶作用甚为相似。     

HMBA诱导MEC—1细胞分化角蛋白染色的变化

用六亚甲基二乙酰胺（ＨＭＢＡ）作为分化诱导剂，对人粘液表皮样癌细胞系ＭＥＣ－１细胞中角蛋白进行染色，结果发现高分子量角蛋白在被诱导细胞中含量明显增高。分光光度仪检测角蛋白含量，诱导组ｘ±ｓ为２１８±５１，对照组为１４９±４７，两组有显著差异（Ｐ＜００１），这可能与细胞分化有关。     

多巴酚丁胺^99m锝心肌断层显象评价冠状动脉介入性治疗的效果

用多巴酚丁胺９９ｍ锝－ＭＩＢＩ（ｍｅｔｈｏｘｙｉｓｏｂｕｔｙｌｎｉｔｒｉｌｅ）心肌断层显象（Ｄｏｂｕ－ＥＣＴ）评价冠心病介入性治疗的效果。方法对３２例冠心病患者在冠状动脉介入治疗的术前、术后３～６个月行多巴酚丁胺心肌显象。多巴酚丁胺以５～４０μｇ．ｋｇ－１／ｍｉｎ，每级剂量间隔３分钟。在最大剂量时注射７４０ＭＢｑ９９ｍ锝－ＭＩＢＩ，１小时后行心肌断层显象。２４小时后再注射等量３９９ｍ锝－ＭＩＢＩ行静态心肌显象。结果术前显示１１６个异常室壁节段，术后显示７９个节段缺血消失或缺血改善，术前心肌显象有明显可逆性心肌缺损节段，治疗有效率为７５％；而术前仅呈固定缺损节段，治疗有效率为４３．８％（Ｐ＜０．０１）。术前心脏断层显象有明显可逆心肌缺损病例，７７．８％（２１／２７）术后心肌缺血消失或改善，２２．２％（６／２７）心肌缺血无改善或缺血范围扩大，其中５例经冠状动脉造影证实原有扩张部位再狭窄。结论多巴酚丁胺９９ｍ锝－ＭＩＢＩ心肌显象可用于评价冠心病介入性治疗的效果，在随访中可发现再狭窄，进一步指导治疗

Defining undernutrition for public health purposes in the United States

Lack of consistency among definitions of undernutrition used for different public health purposes in the United States hinders an effective diagnosis of the problem and the design of interventions to prevent and treat undernutrition. No single-case definition of undernutrition is appropriate for all purposes. These purposes include surveillance of the prevalence of undernutrition in the population, epidemiological research on risk factors and consequences of undernutrition within population subgroups and communities, and screening, monitoring and evaluation of nutritional programs. We recommend that a cut-off of -2.0 SD (2.3 percentile) for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height on National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reference growth charts be used to estimate and monitor the prevalence of undernutrition in the United States, in accordance with guidelines of the World Health Organization. Epidemiological research on population-based risk factors for undernutrition and its functional consequences is required to identify the appropriate nutritional indicator and cut-off for screening and monitoring and evaluation of interventions.
