系统性红斑狼疮患者淋巴细胞亚群早期凋亡的初步研究

目的：检测系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中不同细胞亚群发生凋亡的情况，并初步分析其在SLE发病机制中的意义。方法：取28例SLE患者和性别年龄与之相匹配的20个正常对照者。采用淋巴细胞亚群标志、Annexin-V及碘化丙啶三色荧光标记、流式细胞术检测细胞的早期凋亡。结果：SLE患者体内CD3^ T细胞、CD4^ T细胞和CD8^ T细胞的凋亡百分率均显著高于正常对照组(P＜0．05)。同时，SLE患者T淋巴细胞的死亡百分率也高于正常人。经激素治疗一定时间后，这些细胞亚群的凋亡率会进一步升高(P＜0．01)，但CD4／CD8比值恢复至接近正常人。SLE患考体内CDl9^ B淋巴细胞的凋亡或死亡百分率和正常对照组相比均无明显差别，激素治疗对B细胞凋亡和死亡的影响亦不显著。结论：在SLE患者体内主要是T淋巴细胞凋亡增加，但SLE患者淋巴细胞数目减少不仅仅是因为细胞凋亡所致，死亡细胞数目明显升高也是其中一个重要原因。激素治疗可诱导SLE患者T淋巴细胞进一步发生凋亡，并使T细胞亚群比例有所改善。

SCHWANN CELLS AND THE REGROWTH OF AXONS IN THE MAMMALIAN CNS: A REVIEW OF TRANSPLANTATION STUDIES IN THE RAT VISUAL SYSTEM

1. We have used peripheral nerve transplants or cultured Schwann cells grafted in association with different types of polymer to study axonal regrowth in the rat visual system. In some instances the glia were co-grafted with fetal tectal tissue. 2. The studies have two main aims: (i) to determine whether retinal axons can be induced to regrow at a site distant from their cell soma, that is, after damage to the brachial region of the optic tract; (ii) to determine whether retinal axons exposed to Schwann cells retain the ability to recognize their appropriate target neurons in CNS tissue. 3. In brachial lesion studies, Schwann cells were placed in the lesion site in association with nitrocellulose papers, within polycarbonate tubes in the presence or absence of a supporting extracellular matrix (ECM), or within polymer hydrogel scaffolds. Autologous sciatic nerve grafts were also used. Immuno-histochemical studies revealed the presence of regenerating axons within all polymer bridges. Regrowth of retinal axons was also seen, however, growth was not extensive and was limited to the proximal 1–1.5 mm of the implants. 4. In target innervation experiments, two surgical paradigms were developed. In one experiment, a segment of sciatic nerve was autografted onto the transected optic nerve in adult rats and the distal end of each graft was placed adjacent to fetal tectal (target) tissue implanted into the frontal cortex. To date, we have not been able to demonstrate selective recognition of target regions within tectal transplants by retinal axons exiting the sciatic nerve implants. 5. In the second experiment, Schwann cells were mixed with fetal tectal cells and co-grafted to the midbrain of newborn host rats. Schwann cells altered the characteristic pattern of host retinal growth into tectal grafts; in some cases axons were induced to grow away from appropriate target areas by nearby co-grafted Schwann cells. 6. In summary, Schwann cell/polymer scaffolds may provide a useful way of promoting the regrowth of damaged axons in the CNS, however: (i) in adults, at least, their effectiveness is reduced if they are located at a distance from the cell bodies giving rise to regenerating axons; (ii) in some circumstances exposure to a peripheral glial environment may affect the capacity of regenerating axons to recognize appropriate target cells in the CNS neuropil.     

N-methyl-D,L-aspartate elicits hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone release in prepubertal male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

In higher primates, the protracted delay from infancy to puberty results from an interruption in hypothalamic GnRH release. To determine whether the quiescent hypothalamic GnRH neurons of the prepubertal macaque are capable of discharging the decapeptide in response to a generalized neural depolarization, an excitatory amino acid analog, N-methyl-D,L-aspartate (NMA), was administered systemically to orchidectomized rhesus monkeys between 13 and 20 months of age. GnRH secretion was estimated indirectly by monitoring changes in circulating LH concentrations after the responsivity of pituitary gonadotropes to GnRH had been greatly facilitated by the chronic intermittent iv infusion of GnRH (0.1 microgram/min for 3 min every hour). The iv bolus administration of increasing doses of NMA (1.5, 4.8, and 15.0 mg/kg BW), 10-14 h after termination of the priming infusion of GnRH, elicited distinct discharges of LH, with magnitudes directly related to the amount of the excitant injected. Administration of a higher dose of NMA (48 mg/kg BW), however, failed to induce further LH release. The finding that pretreatment with a long-acting and potent GnRH receptor antagonist [( AcD2Nal1,4ClPhe2,DTrp3,DArg6,DAla10] GnRH-HOAc) abolished the LH-releasing activity of NMA provides compelling evidence for the view that the action of the neural excitant to induce gonadotropin release was exerted at a suprapituitary level. The additional observation that an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist (D,L-2-amino-5-phosphono-valeric acid) blocked the NMA-induced release of GnRH suggests that the amino acid analog interacted with the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor on neurons that synthesize and/or control the release of the hypothalamic hormone. Most interestingly, three sequential GnRH discharges, with a period and an amplitude apparently similar to those generated by the hypothalamus of the adult, were elicited from the brain of prepubertal monkeys by the sequential administration of three injections of NMA at hourly intervals. Taken together these findings demonstrate that the apparent dormancy of hypothalamic GnRH neurons, which is characteristic of prepubertal development in higher primates and underlies the protracted delay in the onset of puberty in these species, may be readily terminated by application of a generalized neural excitation. Plasma FSH, PRL, GH, and cortisol concentrations were also monitored during the course of some of these experiments, and release of each of these four hormones was observed after the iv injection of NMA (15 mg/kg BW).

豚鼠爆震性聋耳蜗结构与功能的动态变化

目的 探讨爆震性聋与耳蜗损伤之间的关系。方法 通过畸变产物耳声发射及扫描电镜进行研究。结果 豚鼠爆震后即刻出现听阈的提高，与爆震前相比，DPOAEs幅值于1kHz处开始出现非常显著的减低（P〈0．05），在8kHz处两者的差值更大（P〈0．05），DPOAEs幅值随频率升高而逐渐下降，以高频段更为严重。爆震后20天DPOAEs幅值在0．5、0．7、1kHz处基本恢复至爆震前水平，在1．5—8kHz处较爆震后即刻明显提高，但仍低于爆震前水平（各频率均P〈0.05）。爆震后40天DPOAEs幅值与爆震后20天无明显改变（各频率均P〉0．05）。扫描电镜下见豚鼠爆震后即刻出现IHC纤毛排列紊乱，第一排OHC形态基本正常，第二排OHC部分纤毛扭曲或倒伏，尚可看到鸟翼状结构，第三排OHC倒伏、分散，部分折断；20天组IHC纤毛排列仍然紊乱，第一排OHC纤毛基本正常，第二、第三排OHC纤毛排列极度扭曲，以第三排更为严重，少数OHC溶解变性，空位由支持细胞取代；40天组与20天组无明显差别。结论 爆震性聋出现耳蜗HC结构改变及功能减退，提示耳蜗损伤与爆震性聋紧密相关。     

Polymorphic distribution of Y-chromosome haplotype and mitochondrial DNA in the Bouyei people in China

In the evolution of humans, many kinds of mutations in the human genome have been accumulated, providing credible genetic evidence for the study of human origins and migrations. The "out-of-Africa" hypothesis of modern human evolution and the genetic origin of the Japanese has come about by studying mitochondrial DNA.l,2 Recently, researchers have recognized the power of Y-chromosome markers in resolving migratory patterns of modern humans as more and more Y-chromosome single nucleotide polymorphism markers have been found. The markers on the nonrecombinant part of the Y-chromosome allows for the reconstruction of intact haplotypes which are probably the best genetic tools to study human migrations. We can analyze the paternal history of some people in different areas by Y-chromosome haplotypes.
