狗冠状动脉的几何形态学

本文采用8例成年狗心,其中5例制成冠状动脉铸型;3例制备血管墨汁灌注的组织切片,测量左、右冠状动脉的分支共1525个。应用Stfahler体系分级方法。对冠状动脉的分支用计算机进行分级归类、分析处理。求得左、右冠状动脉各级分支的一系列几何形态数据以及相应的直径比、长度比和分支比。冠状动脉的直径、长度及分支数目与分支级数呈指致函数关系,其相关有高度显著性(P<0.005)。从几何形态学的定量角度,探讨了狗左、右冠状动脉的形态特征,认为左冠状动脉是狗心首要的供血动脉。     

三磷酸腺苷对人胃癌细胞系MGC－803影响的电镜观察

用透射电镜和扫描电镜方法观察了三磷酸腺苷（ＡＴＰ）对人胃癌细胞系ＭＧＣ－８０３的影响，结果表明，ＡＴＰ能使ＭＧＣ－８０３细胞的核仁由网状向环状改变，微丝的组装得到改善，细胞表面微绒毛减少。提示ＭＧＣ－８０３细胞的恶性表型在ＡＴＰ作用下可向正常方向逆转。     

促癌变剂对淋巴细胞核仁rRNA基因转录的活化作用——rDNA原位杂交荧光显示法

用原位杂交荧光显示法观察了人淋巴细胞在促癌变剂黄芫花提取物(WCE)和12-0-十四烷巳豆醇-13乙酸酯(TPA)处理后,间期核仁rDNA的定位与数量改变,并与丝裂原植物血细胞凝集素(PHA)的效应作了比较,同时用银染色法观察了核仁。对照组淋巴细胞核仁小,原位杂交的rDNA为少数明亮荧光斑和分散的荧光点。经促癌变剂WCE和TPA处理后,银染色的核仁增大,银染颗粒增多,表明rDNA转录活化。原位杂交证明rDNA信号数目明显扩增,许多荧光小点断续相连形成网织状结构,与PHA刺激核仁转录活化的表现一致。对核仁内所含银染颗粒和rDNA荧光斑点数均值的统计学分析表明,WCE、TPA和PHA各加药组均明显多于对照组。3个加药组之间无明显差别。提示两种促癌变剂皆具有刺激核仁rDNA扩增和转录活化的效应。     

基于互信息的医学图像配准实验

基于互信息的配准方法，包括互信息和归一化互信息方法，是目前医学图像配准中无创、自动且精度很高的一种方法。已经被广泛应用。但是在其目标函数中存在着一定程度的幅值振荡现象。特别是在单模态图像配准中。我们研究发现，产生这种振荡的原因除了插值赝像外，还有由配准过程中图像重叠部分发生变化而引起的熵的变化不确定性。由插值赝像所带来的振荡基本上可以被消除掉；由熵的变化不确定性所带来的振荡很难被消除，但是这种振荡作用在归一化互信息中影响不大。归一化互信息比互信息具有更高的稳健性，适合于更广的应用范围。     

Apolipoprotein B-100 gene Xba I polymorphism and cholesterol gallstone disease

The apolipoprotein (apo) B gene Xba I polymorphism is associated with alterations in serum lipids. Disturbances in serum lipids may be a risk factor for cholesterol gallstone disease. However, the relation between the Xba I polymorphism and cholesterol gallstones is unknown. This study was aimed at characterizing the polymorphism of the apo B gene Xba I in patients with gallbladder stones and the association of Xba I polymorphism with serum lipids. Xba I genotypes were measured by PCR-RFLP, and serum lipids assayed in 190 patients with gallbladder stones and 441 control subjects. The frequency of the X+/- genotype (20.63 vs. 7.94%) and X+ allele (10.79 vs. 3.97%) was significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group. Patients with the X+/- genotype had a significantly higher concentration of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and apo B in serum than patients with the X-/- genotype. The X+ allele of the apo B gene is characterized by a higher cholesterol concentration and a higher LDL-cholesterol concentration in serum, and it may be a marker for increased risk of cholesterol gallstone disease.     

Association of genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes in hMLH1 and hMSH3 gene with the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship of the genetic polymorphisms and the haplotypes in hMLH1 and hMSH3 gene with the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in Chinese Hans. METHODS: A hospital based 1:1 matched case-control study was carried out. The polymorphisms for 204 pairs of PTC cases and healthy controls were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and allele specific oligonucleotide (PCR-ASO) assays. RESULTS: (1) The PTC risk was marginally increased in the hMLH1 1151TA genotype, with odds ratio (OR) of 2.15 (95%CI: 0.99-4.85); the PTC risk was significantly increased in the mutant genotype 1151TA+AA, with OR of 2.15 (95%CI: 1.02-4.69); (2) The haplotypes of -93G, 1151A, 655A in the hMLH1 gene could increase the PTC risk, with OR of 2.67 (95%CI: 1.16-6.53, P=0.011), compared with the haplotype of -93G, 1151T, 655A; (3) Compared to 3124A, 2835G haplotype in hMSH3 gene, the 3124G, 2835A haplotype could increase the PTC risk marginally, with OR of 3.08 (95%CI: 0.92-13.25). CONCLUSION: The 1151T/A polymorphism in hMLH1 was associated with PTC; both the haplotype of -93G, 1151A, 655A in hMLH1 and the 3124G, 2835A haplotype in hMSH3 were associated with PTC.     

钾离子对体外培养中枢神经髓鞘形成的影响──一种新的体外培养中枢神经脱髓鞘模型的建立

本文应用组织培养和电镜等方法研究了ＫＣＩ对体外培养中枢神经系统髓鞘形成的影响。结果表明：体外培养Ｂ６Ｃ３小鼠小脑组织髓鞘形成的关键期是１０～１４ｄ，在１０～１２ｄ时体外培养的小脑组织对ＫＣＩ最为敏感；当培养液内ＫＣＩ浓度达到３０ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ时，即可完全抑制髓鞘形成。本文对钾离子引起体外培养中枢神经组织脱髓鞘的机制进行了讨论。     

Detection of turkey rhinotracheitis virus in turkeys using the polymerase chain reaction

Six-week-old turkey poults were infected with the virulent UK/3B/85 strain of TRTV. Tracheal and oesophageal swabs were made every 2 to 3 days from groups of five poults and the RNA extracted. The TRTV RNA was then reverse-transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) using an oligonucleotide complementary to the 3' end of the fusion protein (F) mRNA. The cDNA was then used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with an upstream primer to generate a product of approximately 0.5 kbp which was detected by ethidium bromide staining after electrophoresis. In this way, TRTV was detected in both types of swab for 17 to 19 days post-infection, nearly 2 weeks after the peak titres of infectious virus. Swabs which were allowed to dry completely before RNA extraction were as successful as swabs kept wet and extracted almost immediately, useful for when samples are collected in the field. The oligonucleotides amplified the 0.5 kbp product from TRTV strains isolated in six countries over a 13-year period, indicating that they might be usable as 'universal' oligonucleotides for TRTV detection.     

复苏早期应用氨茶碱对腺苷及血管活性因子的影响

目的： 观察心搏骤停大鼠复苏早期应用氨茶碱对复苏成功率、血浆去甲肾上腺素(NE)、腺苷、一氧化氮(NO)水平及心肌组织内皮素-1(ET-1)、腺苷水平的影响。方法: 选60只SD大鼠，随机分为3组：手术对照组、肾上腺素治疗组和肾上腺素+氨茶碱治疗组各20只。分别测定治疗组自主循环恢复30 min后及手术对照组的血浆NE、腺苷、NO及心肌组织ET-1、腺苷的水平。结果: 肾上腺素+氨茶碱治疗组自主循环恢复时间明显少于肾上腺素治疗组(P＜0.05)。肾上腺素+氨茶碱治疗组自主循环恢复率为75%，30 min存活率为70%，肾上腺素治疗组分别为60%和55% (P>0.05)。2个治疗组自主循环恢复大鼠的血浆腺苷、NE水平及心肌组织ET-1、腺苷水平均明显高于手术对照组(P<0.05)，肾上腺素治疗组血浆NO水平也显著高于手术对照组(P＜0.01)，肾上腺素+氨茶碱治疗组血浆NO及心肌组织ET-1水平低于肾上腺素治疗组(P＜0.05)。结论: 在复苏早期应用腺苷受体拮抗剂氨茶碱不仅可提高复苏成功率，并且降低血浆NO和心肌组织ET-1水平，有利于减轻复苏后综合征。
