Evidence that [3H]-alpha,beta-methylene ATP may label an endothelial-derived cell line 5'-nucleotidase with high affinity.

1. In membranes prepared from a permanent cell line of endothelial origin (WEC cells), [3H]-alpha, beta-methylene ATP ([3H]-alpha, beta-meATP) labelled high (pKd = 9.5; Bmax = 3.75 pmol mg-1 protein) and low (pKd = 7.2; Bmax = 23.3 pmol mg-1 protein) affinity binding sites. The high affinity [3H]-alpha, beta-meATP binding sites in the WEC cell membranes could be selectively labelled with a low concentration of the radioligand (1 nM). In competition studies performed at a radioligand concentration of 1 nM, 88.6% of the sites possessed high affinity (pIC50 = 8.26) for alpha, beta-meATP. 2. The high affinity [3H]-alpha, beta-meATP binding sites appeared heterogeneous since in competition studies a number of nucleotide analogues (alpha, beta-meADP, ATP, ADP, AMP, GTP, GppNHp, GMP) and adenosine identified two populations of the sites labelled by 1 nM [3H]-alpha, beta-meATP. The proportion of sites with high affinity for these compounds was found to vary between 42 and 69%. 3. Approximately 60-69% of the binding sites labelled with 1 nM [3H]-alpha, beta-meATP possessed high affinity for alpha, beta-meADP (pIC50 = 8.87), AMP (pIC50 = 7.12), GMP (pIC50 = 7.34), UTP (pIC50 = 6.12), GTP (pIC50 = 7.59), GppNHp (pIC50 = 7.35) and adenosine (pIC50 = 5.45).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

XIAP与肿瘤化疗耐药关系的研究进展

细胞凋亡程度的降低是肿瘤发生的主要机理，造成肿瘤对化疗药物耐药的主要原因是化疗药物介导的细胞凋亡指数的下降。凋亡抑制蛋白在抑制细胞凋亡中起非常重要的作用,XIAP是IAP家族中抑制细胞凋亡的最主要成员。本文总结了近年来对XIAP抗凋亡机制的研究及其在肿瘤化疗耐药方面的作用。

Value of serum progesterone for ectopic pregnancy in therapeutic effect monitoring]

OBJECTIVE: To study the value of serum progesterone in selecting the candidate patients with ectopic pregnancy (EP) for methotrexate (MTX) treatment and in monitoring the effect of the treatment. METHODS: Thirty-seven EP patients who were given single-dose intramuscular injection with 50 mg/m2 MTX were divided into success and failure groups according to the effect of the treatment. The serum progesterone concentrations in these patients were measured and compared between the 2 groups, and the receiver-operator curves (ROC) were used to determine the critical serum progesterone levels for assessing the effect of MTX treatment. The time consumed respectively by serum progesterone and beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) decreasing to below normal level was also compared. RESULTS: The serum progesterone concentrations of the success group (7.93+/-2.02 ng/ml) were significantly lower than those of the failure group (14.53+/-1.72 ng/ml, P<0.05). The recommended critical level for assessing the effect of MTX treatment for EP patients was 11 ng/ml according to the ROC, and the time for serum progesterone decreasing to below normal level was significantly less than that for beta-hCG. CONCLUSION: Serum progesterone can be used as an index for selecting candidate EP patients for MTX treatment, and also as a good indicator for assessing the therapeutic effect after treatment.     

胃癌根治术病人围术期异体输血后外周血单核细胞CD40L表达的变化

目的 研究胃癌根治术病人围手术期异体输血外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)白细胞分化抗原40配体(CD40L)表达的变化。方法 胃癌根治术病人30例,随机分为3组,每组10例。A组围术期不输血,B组围术期输入去白细胞的全血,C组围术期输入异体全血。另选10例健康人作为对照。分别在手术前、术后2、5、10 d采外周静脉血5 ml,用Ficoll分离液梯度离心法分离出PBMCs和血浆,将PBMCs置于自身血浆环境中,并在植物血凝素(PHA,20 mg/L)的刺激下进行培养,48 h后收获细胞,用流式细胞术检测CD40L表达。结果 健康人外周血未受PHA刺激时检测不到CD40L的表达,经PHA刺激后CD40L 细胞占CD4 T细胞的百分数为1.7％±0.4％,与三组胃癌病人术前比较差异无显著性(P>0.05)。与术前比较,B组术后2 d PBMCs CD40L表达升高(P<0.05),C组术后各时点升高(P<0.05);与A组比较,B组术后2 d升高(P<0.05),C组术后各时点升高(P<0.05);与B组比较,C组术后各时点升高(P<0.05)。结论 围手术期异体输血可造成免疫抑制,输异体血后CD40L表达增加,且输全血比输去白细胞的全血更明显。围手术期成分输血优于输注全血。

神经生长因子基因转染联合强化铁营养防治豚鼠爆震性聋的实验研究

Objective To study the protective effects of adenovirus-mediated human beta-nerve growth factor gene (hNGFβ) transfer combined with iron fortified nutrition on blast hearing damage in guinea pigs. Methods Deafness was induced by blast (172dB SPL) in 35 healthy guinea pigs. Seven days after noise exposure, 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with adenovirus-mediated hNGFβ (Ad-hNGFβ) into the perilymphatic space (the gene group), another 10 guinea pigs were given hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet (the combination group), still another 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with artificial perilymphatic fluid (APF), and 5 guinea pigs served as control, given neither medicine nor noise exposure. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold shifts were monitored in the guinea pigs before blast exposure and after gene transfer. Changes in cochlear morphology were examined with immunohistochemical and HE staining. Results One week after successful inoculation of hNGFβ, it was noted that Ad-hNGFβ protein was expressed in each turn of the cochlea, and its intensity was almost equal. After gene transfer in the combination group and the gene group, ABR threshold shifts at week 1 and 4 were significantly smaller than those of the APF group. HE staining showed that the number of the spiral ganglion cells in the combination group and the Ad-hNGFβ group was significantly higher than that of the control group after 4 weeks (P<0.01). Conclusions Ad-hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet was effective in the prevention and treatment of blast hearing damage of cochlear hair cells.
