妊娠高血压患者血浆中降钙素基因相关肽的测定及其临床意义

本文测定了３０例正常育龄妇女，２８例正常妊娠以及３６例妊娠征患者血浆中降钙素基因相关肽的水平，结果发现，轻度妊高生与正常妊娠相比，血浆中ＣＧＲＰＫ是有下降但不显著（Ｐ〉０．０５）。中重度妊高征与正常妊娠相比，差异有非常显著性，因此推测，妊娠状态下血浆中降钙素基因相关肽的减少可能是妊娠高血压症产生的重要原因之一。     

Partial characterization of a non-proteinaceous, low molecular weight antigen of Eimeria tenella

A low molecular weight (LMW) antigen of Eimeria tenella, initially identified using a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb C₃4F₁) raised against E. tenella sporozoites, was partially characterized using enzymatic degradation, solvent extraction, and immunization into various inbred lines of mice. The LMW antigen could be isolated using Folch extraction (methanol/chloroform/water) and the epitope recognized by mAb C₃4F₁ was resistant to degradation by α-amylase, pronase, and proteinase K, but was sensitive to sodium m-periodate treatment or digestion using mixed glycosidases (from Turbo cornutus). These observations suggest that the antigenic epitope recognized by mAb C₃4F₁ is carbohydrate-dependent and, based on our ability to isolate the LMW antigen by Folch extraction, the epitope probably resides on a polar glycolipid. The inability of sporozoite-immunized nude mice to elicit a serum antibody response to this molecule indicates that it acts as a T-dependent antigen. Furthermore, sporozoite-immunized male CBA/N mice (with an X-linked immunodeficiency) also failed to elicit a serum antibody response to this molecule, which is consistent with a carbohydrate antigenic epitope. We propose that this antigenic molecule be designated ET-GL1 to reflect its origin and probable structure (E. tenella glycolipid 1). Received: 30 June 1999 / Accepted: 2 December 1999     

甲襞、球结膜微循环的应急观测方法

甲襞、球结膜微循环的应急观测方法是在甲襞、球结膜微循环加权积分综合定量评价方法的基础上，保留权值为４、３的指标，同时观察血管清晰度和红细胞聚集二项指标而形成。同时提供其应急观测积分表、异常分度积分值、诊断标准，并与常规方法进行比较，证明其可以反映绝大部分流态类指标和大部分形态类指标及重要的袢周改变，没有丢失微循环重度异常的信息，保证了重度异常诊断的正确。但在大致正常、轻度异常和中度异常的诊断中应急方法部有判重的倾向，说明应急方法漏掉了一些信息，不能全面地了解微循环的改变，造成了判重的倾向。因此应急方法不能代替常规方法，只能在特定条件下应用。     

不同年龄高血压大鼠心肌中MKP-1的表达及对心肌肥厚的影响

目的：研究不同年龄的自发性高血压大鼠（SHR）和Wistar Kyoto大鼠（WKY）心室肌组织中丝裂原活化蛋白激酶（MAPK）及其磷酸酶（MKP-1）的表达以及与心肌肥厚的关系。方法： 用左心室重量与体重的比值作为心肌肥大指数并以此指标反映心肌肥厚；分别用Western blotting方法和RT-PCR法半定量测定心室肌组织中磷酸化细胞外信号调节激酶（p-ERK）的蛋白表达和MKP-1 mRNA的含量。结果： （1）SHR的血压自8周龄起明显高于WKY（P<0.01），心肌肥大指数明显大于WKY（P<0.05），ERK和MKP-1的表达均比WKY高（P<0.05）；（2）SHR的血压随年龄增长而升高（P<0.05），至14周趋于稳定，心肌肥大指数则在24周时出现激增（P<0.01）；（3）p-ERK随年龄增长呈递增趋势，而MKP-1呈递减趋势，且与心肌肥大指数和ERK的表达呈负相关（P<0.01）。结论： MKP-1在高血压大鼠随年龄和血压增加的心肌肥厚过程中起重要作用，其表达逐渐下降可能是导致ERK激活增加，进而引起心肌细胞肥大的重要原因。     

Nucleolar localization of non-structural protein 3b, a protein specifically encoded by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus

The open reading frame 3 (ORF3) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) genome encodes a predicted 154-amino acid protein, which lacks similarities to any known protein, and is named 3b. In this study, it was shown that 3b protein was predominately localized to nucleus with EGFP tag at its N- or C-terminus. The localization patterns were similar in different transfected cells. Immuno-fluorescence assay revealed that 3b protein was co-localized well with C23 in nucleolus. C23, B23 and fibrillarin all are important nucleolar proteins, which localize in the region of the nucleolus. Co-transfection of p3b-EGFP with pC23-DsRed, pB23-DsRed and pfibrillarin-DsRed further confirmed 3b's nucleolus localization. With construction of serial truncated mutants of 3b, a region (residues 134-154 aa) responsible for nucleolar localization was determinated in 3b protein. These results provide a new insight for further functional studies of SARS-CoV 3b protein.

Effects of chloride and potassium channel blockers on apoptotic cell shrinkage and apoptosis in cortical neurons

K⁺ and Cl^– homeostasis have been implicated in cell volume regulation and apoptosis. We addressed the hypothesis that K⁺ and Cl^– efflux may contribute to apoptotic cell shrinkage and apoptotic death in cultured cortical neurons. CLC-2 and CLC-3 chloride channels were detected in cultured cortical neurons. The Cl^– channel blockers 4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS), 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (SITS) and 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid (NPPB) inhibited the outwardly rectifying Cl^– current, prevented apoptotic cell shrinkage, and mildly attenuated cell death induced by staurosporine, C₂-ceramide, or serum deprivation. Cl^– channel blockers, however, at concentrations that prevented cell shrinkage had no significant effects on caspase activation and/or DNA fragmentation. Cell death in the presence of a Cl^– channel blocker was still sensitive to blockade by the caspase inhibitor z-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (z-VAD-fmk). Electron microscopy revealed that, although DIDS prevented apoptotic cell shrinkage, certain apoptotic ultrastructural alterations still took place in injured neurons. On the other hand, the K⁺ channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA), clofilium, or the caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk prevented cell shrinkage as well as caspase activation and/or DNA damage, and showed stronger neuroprotection against apoptotic alterations and cell death. The results indicate that neurons may undergo apoptotic process without cell shrinkage and imply distinct roles for Cl^– and K⁺ homeostasis in regulating different apoptotic events.
