Clinical and experimental studies on acupuncture treatment of apoplexy at the convalescent stage by consciousness-restoring method.

The consciousness-restoring method and the conventional method of acupuncture were used for treatment of 92 cases of apoplexy at the convalescent stage. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: the consciousness-restoring group (50 cases), and the conventional group (42 cases). The therapeutic results show that the cure rates in the former and latter groups are 43% and 16.67% respectively. The markedly effective and effective rates in the former group are significantly higher than that in the latter group. The experimental results demonstrate that there is remarkable improvement in the majority of criteria of blood rheology, blood lipid, micro-circulation and thrombus formation in vitro, in the former group, and the degree and extent of improvement are markedly better than the latter group.     

丝裂霉素C化学稳定性的研究

在广泛ＰＨ范围内对丝裂霉素Ｃ的化学稳定性进行了研究，测定不同温度下不同ｐＨ时的速率常数，得到不同ｐＨ时的分解活化能及不同温度下的稳定ｐＨ值。活化能数据在ｐＨ５．５及７．８时出现极大值，而不同温度下的两上最稳定（ｐＨ）ｍ恰恰位于两个ｐＨ范围内。     

d-宁烯、丹参及姜黄素衍生物对ras基因产物膜结合和细胞间隙信息传导的影响

目的旨在寻找新型抗肿瘤药物,进一步研究d-宁烯、丹参及姜黄素衍生物的抗肿瘤机理。采用分子生物学方法及划痕标记染料示踪技术,研究了4种人实体瘤起源的细胞系的细胞间隙信息传导(GJIC)、H-ras癌基因表达以及ras癌基因产物(P21^ras蛋白)表达状态,并观察了4种天然产物对它们的影响。结果表明,细胞内染料传输功能的丧失与ras基因突变率呈正相关;单萜化合物d-宁烯和酚类化合物丹参衍生物的抗肿瘤作用可能与抑制P21^ras蛋白膜结合和增强细胞间隙信息传导功能有关。提示Ras癌基因产物P21^ras蛋白膜结合的抑制与细胞间隙信息传导功能的增强有直接关系。     

Post-transplantation diabetes is better controlled after conversion from prednisone to deflazacort: a prospective trial in renal transplants

It is well known that long-term use of steroids plays a decisive role in the development of glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus (DM). Deflazacort, an oxazoline derivative of prednisolone, has been introduced as a potential substitute for conventional steroids in order to ameliorate glucose intolerance. We initiated a randomized study of conversion from prednisone to deflazacort in kidney transplantation (Tx) recipients presenting with pre-Tx or post-Tx DM to ascertain whether or not the switch to deflazacort would ameliorate the diabetic state. Forty-two recipients in the conversion group were compared with 40 patients on prednisone (the control group) in a prospective manner. The dose reduction of insulin or oral blood glucose-lowering agents, the adequacy of glucose control, and the development of side effects were the criteria for evaluating outcome. In the conversion group, patients were switched to deflazacort at a dose ratio of 6 mg deflazacort to 5 mg prednisone. During the mean follow-up period of 13.2 months, neither graft dysfunction nor acute rejection developed in the conversion group. Improvement in blood glucose control in the conversion group was noted. When the conversion group was stratified into pre- or post-Tx DM, promising effects were clearly evident in the post-Tx DM patients. More than 50 % dose reduction of blood glucose-lowering agents was possible in 42.3 % of post-Tx DM patients. In conclusion, it was readily possible to control blood glucose better in post-Tx DM recipients without seriously affecting the immunosuppressive activity after conversion to deflazacort.

关于单结合胆红素水溶性的研究

目的:进一步研究单结合胆红素(MCB)的水难溶特性及其在病理性胆汁中参与胆红素沉淀和色素性结石形成的作用机制.方法:应用胆红素高效液相色谱分析技术,先从人胆汁中获得结合胆红素,再经分离、制备及纯化得到纯MCB.然后观察其水溶解度并与其它型胆红素比较.结果:在pH7.9,温度37℃接近生理的条件下,MCB的溶解度(558.25±5.96μm)仅为双结合胆红素(DCB)的1/7,比不结合胆红素(UCB)高约44倍并随pH值改变而呈曲线变化.pH7.9时最大;pH4.5时为0;而当pH>9时,反而低于呈离于状态的UCB.结论:MCB虽作为结合型胆红素在胆道生理条件下的不溶性明显高于UCB,但比DCB要低得多;而在胆道病理条件下,其水溶性不但远低于DCB,甚至还不如离子化的UCB,这可能是MCB参与胆红素沉淀及胆色素结石形成的理化基础.     

脊髓Ⅱ号对大鼠损伤脊髓轴浆运输的影响

选取24只Wistar大白鼠，将其中18只制成胸髓右半侧横断损伤的大鼠模型，分别以脊髓Ⅱ号方剂、激素、生理盐水灌喂治疗。未造模的6只大鼠作为正常组，常规喂养。一个月后，注入辣根过氧化物酶（HRP），检测路经损伤区的上下行神经传导束始发核团中的标记细胞。发现脊髓Ⅱ号组HRP标记细胞数明显多于另两组，而与正常大鼠相比没有统计学上的显著差异。说明脊髓Ⅱ号方剂在恢复损伤传导来神经纤维的正常连续性，恢复神经元轴浆运输，促进神经细胞修复再生方面，有显著的效应。

54只大白鼠随机分三组，用不同方法修复坐骨神经缺损，术后60天和90天取材，作电生理、组织学和电镜观察的比较，结果表明：游离神经移植＋血管植入方法和带血管蒂神经移植效果同样好，二者均显著优于单纯游离神经移植。     

Ras farnesyltransferase inhibitors suppress the phenotype resulting from an activated ras mutation in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Attachment of Ras protein to the membrane, which requires farnesylation at its C terminus, is essential for its biological activity. A promising pharmacological approach of antagonizing oncogenic Ras activity is to develop inhibitors of farnesyltransferase. We use Caenorhabditis elegans vulval differentiation, which is controlled by a Ras-mediated signal transduction pathway, as a model system to test previously identified farnesyltransferase inhibitors. We show here that two farnesyltransferase inhibitors, manumycin and gliotoxin, suppress the Multivulva phenotype resulting from an activated let-60 ras mutation, but not the Multivulva phenotype resulting from mutations in the lin-1 gene or the lin-15 gene, which act downstream and upstream of let-60 ras, respectively, in the signaling pathway. These results are consistent with the idea that the suppression of the Multivulva phenotype of let-60 ras by the two inhibitors is specific for Ras protein and that the mutant Ras protein might be more sensitive than wild-type Ras to the farnesyltransferase inhibitors. This work suggests that C. elegans vulval development could be a simple and effective in vivo system for evaluation of farnesyltransferase inhibitors against Ras-activated tumors.
