Can Sensitized Lymphocytes Retain Reactivity to Inner Ear Antigens After Retrieval From Frozen Storage?

Immune inner ear disease results in rapidly progressive, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and is one of the few forms of sensorineural hearing loss that can be treated medically. The purpose of this study is to identify and preserve several populations of sensitized lymphocytes from patients with immune inner ear disease as a first step toward cloning autoreactive T cells, in order to study the pathogenesis of disease. Lymphocytes from four patients with high reactivity (stimulation index of 2.5 or greater) were placed in frozen storage. At 8 to 14 months they were thawed and restimulated. All four samples were viable. Two reacted again to inner ear homogenate, but with different intensities. Some lymphocytes sensitized to inner ear antigens can retain reactivity after frozen storage. This methodology may be useful to clone highly reactive T cells.     

The relationship between dietary fat intake and risk of colorectal cancer: evidence from the combined analysis of 13 case-control studies

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of the intakeof dietary fat upon colorectal cancer risk in a combined analysis of datafrom 13 case-control studies previously conducted in populations withdiffering colorectal cancer rates and dietary practices. Original datarecords for 5,287 cases of colorectal cancer and 10,470 controls werecombined. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios (OR)for intakes of total energy, total fat and its components, and cholesterol.Positive associations with energy intake were observed for 11 of the 13studies. However, there was little, if any, evidence of anyenergy-independent effect of either total fat with ORs of 1.00, 0.95, 1.01,1.02, and 0.92 for quintiles of residuals of total fat intake (P trend =0.67) or for saturated fat with ORs of 1.00, 1.08, 1.06, 1.21, and 1.06 (Ptrend = 0.39). The analysis suggests that, among these case-control studies,there is no energy-independent association between dietary fat intake andrisk of colorectal cancer. It also suggests that simple substitution of fatby other sources of calories is unlikely to reduce meaningfully the risk ofcolorectal cancer.     

试论方剂功效表达的历史沿革及现代研究意义

方剂的历史悠久，但真正将方剂作为研究对象，出现方剂功效的描述则始自金代成无己，并在明清时期有了较大的发展，而直到建国后才形成一定的规范。目前古方中还存在大量的方荆只有简单的组成与主治，而没有详细的方论，包括方剂功效。文章最后论述了方荆功效理论研究的重要性与可行性。     

大肠癌防治现场研究

大肠癌在我国近几年发病率上升,5年生存率在60%左右,但治疗效果30年来无显著提高.20世纪70年代以来,浙江大学肿瘤研究所课题组负责大肠癌防治"六五"、"七五"、"八五"及"九五"攻关研究,历时二十余年,进行了从现场到实验室,从病因机制到干预阻断的系列研究.     

Early and selective pathology of light chain neurofilament in the spinal cord and sciatic nerve of G86R mutant superoxide dismutase transgenic mice

Pathologic accumulation of neurofilament protein (NF), both within spheroids of the proximal axon and within inclusions of motor neuron somata, is a hallmark of neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Transgenic mice that express mutations in superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), which were genetically linked to familial ALS, develop symptomatology and pathology that strongly resemble ALS and therefore provide a useful model for studying the disease. Examining NF in the G86R mutant SOD-1 transgenic mice, we previously demonstrated that phosphorylated NF accumulates in motor neuron somata of symptomatic transgenic mice. In the present study, we expand these results by examining the immunocytochemical distribution of the three subunits of NF (i.e., light, medium, and heavy chains) as well as tubulin in presymptomatic and symptomatic SOD-1 transgenic mice. Although all NF subunits, but not tubulin, accumulate along with phosphorylated NF in the spinal cord inclusions of symptomatic mice, numerous inclusions containing only light chain NF are found in the spinal cord of presymptomatic SOD-1 transgenic mice. In addition to these results in the spinal cord, intensely immunoreactive aggregates of NF-L, but not the other NF subunits or tubulin, were observed in the sciatic nerve of both symptomatic and presymptomatic mutant SOD-1 transgenic mice. These results suggest that the mechanism of NF alteration in SOD-1 transgenic mice, and also perhaps in ALS patients, originates with the disruption of NF-L, only later involving the other subunits.
