多发性骨髓瘤患者血清IL-6活性与急性相蛋白浓度的相关性研究

运用敏感的B_9细胞增殖试验检测了81例多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者血清IL-6活性,同时分析了标本的几种急性相蛋白含量,结果表明,68％MM患者血清中IL-6活性大于5μ/ml(正常对照为5μ/ml以下),几种急性相蛋白中C-反应性蛋白(CRP)在MM时升高(P<0.01),平均达正常对照组的17倍以上,MM患者补体C_4与正常对照组无差异(p>0.05),C_3、白蛋白及转铁蛋白在MM时分别比正常下降24.42％、38.83％和32.80％,且与疾病分期有关,在血清IL-6大于5μ/ml的55例中,IL-6活性与CRP、C_3、白蛋白的相关系数分别为0.46,-0.34和-0.29,IL-6与转铁蛋白浓度相关不明显。本文结果提示:CRP、C_3及白蛋白等含量的变化可作为反映MM病情的简易而敏感的指标。     

接种白血病细胞后小鼠胸腺哺育细胞和免疫器官组织学及组织化学的变化

按种P_(388)白血病患鼠腹水后第3d,小鼠胸腺哺育细胞内的淋巴细胞,酸性磷酸酶和β-葡萄糖苷酸酶阳性率显著增加,而α-醋酸萘酯酶阳性率则下降。胸腺内胸腺细胞上述3种酶细胞化学反应阳性率均显著增加,但胸腺组织结构未见异常。淋巴结和脾脏亦未见异常变化。接种后第9d,患鼠胸腺、淋巴结和脾脏均见白血病细胞浸润、出血和细胞变性等病变,正常结构被破坏,其中淋巴细胞3种酶细胞化学反应的阳性率均显著增加。此时很难从胸腺分离出胸腺哺育细胞。本文结果提示,胸腺和胸腺哺育细胞与这种白血病的发生有密切关系。     

Multilineage potential of homozygous stem cells derived from metaphase II oocytes

Human stem cells derived from human fertilized oocytes, fetal primordial germ cells, umbilical cord blood, and adult tissues provide potential cell-based therapies for repair of degenerating or damaged tissues. However, the diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens in the general population and the resultant risk of immune-mediated rejection complicates the allogenic use of established stem cells. We assessed an alternative approach, employing chemical activation of nonfertilized metaphase II oocytes for producing stem cells homozygous for MHC. By using F1 hybrid mice (H-2-B/D), we established stem cell lines homozygous for H-2-B and H-2-D, respectively. The undifferentiated cells retained a normal karyotype, expressed stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 and Oct4, and were positive for alkaline phosphatase and telomerase. Teratomatous growth of these cells displayed the development of a variety of tissue types encompassing all three germ layers. In addition, these cells demonstrated the potential for in vitro differentiation into endoderm, neuronal, and hematopoietic lineages. We also evaluated this homozygous stem cell approach in human tissue. Five unfertilized blastocysts were derived from a total of 25 human oocytes, and cells from one of the five hatched blastocysts proliferated and survived beyond two passages. Our studies demonstrate a plausible "homozygous stem cell" approach for deriving pluripotent stem cells that can overcome the immune-mediated rejection response common in allotransplantation, while decreasing the ethical concerns surrounding human embryonic stem cell research.

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。

The modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission by adenosine in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus is temperature dependent

We tested the possibility that extracellular adenosine concentration varies with tissue temperature by measuring the tonic adenosinergic inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission at different temperatures in the in vitro rat hippocampus. Application of the A1 receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) enhanced population excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) by antagonizing tonic adenosinergic inhibition; this effect was greatest at 25 degrees C, and was progressively reduced at 35 and 37.5 degrees C. These results demonstrate that tonic adenosinergic inhibition is inversely related to temperature. In a second experiment, an exogenous A1 agonist, N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), was applied to slices to inhibit evoked EPSPs. CHA inhibition of EPSPs was greater at 35 than at 25 degrees C, demonstrating that the reduced adenosinergic inhibition at higher temperatures is not a result of reduced A1 receptor function.     

Mouse embryonic diastema region is an ideal site for the development of ectopically transplanted tooth germ.

The anterior eye chamber and the kidney capsule of the mouse have been traditionally used for long-term culture of tooth germ grafts. However, although these sites provide an excellent growth environment, they do not represent real in situ sites for the development of a grafted tooth germ. Here, we describe a protocol to transplant a tooth germ into the mandibular diastema region of mouse embryos using exo utero surgery. Our results demonstrate that the mouse embryonic diastema region represents a normal physiological environment for the development of transplanted tooth germs. Transplanted tooth germs developed synchronically with and became indistinguishable from the endogenous ones. These ectopic teeth were vascularized and surrounded with nerve fibers, and were able to erupt normally. Thus, the exo utero transplantation approach will provide a new avenue to study tooth development and regeneration.
