高血糖对非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者红细胞（Ca~（2＋）－Mg~（2＋））－ATP酶的影响

为了解高血糖对非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（ＮＩＤＤＭ）患者红细胞膜（Ｃａ２＋－Ｍｇ２＋）－Ａｒｐ酶的影响，采用改良的Ｈａｎａｈａｎ和Ｌｕｔｈｒａ法测定了红细胞膜（Ｃａ２＋－Ｍｇ２＋）－ＡＴＰ酶活性。结果表明，ＮＩＤＤＭ患者红细胞膜（Ｃａ２＋－Ｍｇ２＋）－ＡＴＰ酶活性降低，且与空腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白、果糖胺及红细胞变形指数呈负相关，后者与红细胞内Ｃａ２＋浓度呈正相关。说明（Ｃａ２＋－Ｍｇ２＋）－ＡＴＰ酶活性下降时，红细胞变形能力降低，可能与患者红细胞膜蛋白的过度糖化及细胞内Ｃａ２＋浓度的增高有关。     

直肠癌患者手术前后MG—Ags的表达及临床意义

用免疫放射法测定31例直肠癌患者血清MG-AgS水平,并与26例结肠息肉组进行对比。结果发现:直肠癌组术前血清MG-AgS水平显著高于对照组(P＜0.01);手术前后血清MG-AgS水平差异显著,术前高于术后(P＜0.01);术前MG-AgS水平与病理分期关系密切,随病理分期增加而升高;术后复发组血清MG-AgS水平高于无复发组(P＜0.01)。提示MG-AgS测定有助于直肠癌的诊断、治疗和对预后的估计。

Real-time PCR检测风疹病毒方法学建立及临床应用

为了建立一种能广泛应用于临床快速、简便、灵敏度和特异性较好的风疹病毒(RV)定量诊断方法。针对RV基因保守序列设计两对引物和一条荧光双标记探针。将PCR扩增所得到的产物片段克隆,作为定量检测的标准品,进行Real-time PCR检测,绘制标准曲线。将此方法和ELISA试剂盒平行检测50份孕妇血清,评估两种方法检出阳性率的差异显著性。Real-time PCR法能较好地检出RVcDNA载量。曲线的相关系数(r)为0.998,可检测线性范围大约在103~109copies/μl,灵敏度接近103copies/μl;批间、批内CV值分别为3.36%、0.94%;也有较好的特异性。与经典的ELISA方法相比,有显著性差异。Real-time PCR方法操作简单、快速,并能避免PCR后处理导致的假阳性污染,实现实时定量。此方法对RV感染的临床诊断和疗效判断等方面有较大的指导意义。

Antigenic and genomic relation between human influenza viruses that circulated in Argentina in the period 1995-1999 and the corresponding vaccine components.

BACKGROUND: The analysis of epidemic influenza virus has been focused on antigenic and genomic characterization of the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein in order to detect new variants for the recommendation of the vaccine strains in each season. Since October 1998, WHO organized a second meeting to evaluate the vaccine formula for the southern hemisphere. OBJECTIVES: (a) Present the antigenic and genomic characterization of influenza strains obtained from the Argentina surveillance network, (b) compare between strains collected in Argentina and other countries with the vaccine formula strains used in each season. STUDY DESIGN: Influenza strains were collected during a 5-year period (1995-1999). Initially, laboratory diagnosis was done by immunofluorescence (IF) assay on clinical samples, followed by viral isolation in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. The isolates were characterized antigenically by hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay with post-infection ferret antisera. The genomic characterization consisted on RT-PCR followed by sequencing of the HA1 portion of the HA gene. The comparison between reference and circulating strains was analyzed by the construction of phylogenetic trees. RESULTS: The H3N2 circulating strains matched the corresponding vaccine component only in 1999, the first year when a vaccine recommended specifically for the southern hemisphere was used. Besides, H1N1 circulating strains matched the corresponding vaccine component only in 1998. Regarding to influenza B, only in 1995, the circulating strains showed no match to the B vaccine component. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed the usefulness of an intensified influenza laboratory surveillance to access the correct vaccine and the importance of having the necessary tools to characterize the circulating strains.

BRI基因在一对转移能力不同的肺腺癌细胞系中的序列分析与表达研究

目的 确认淀粉样纤维蛋白基因(amyloid fibrils，BRI)基因在l对同源但转移能力不同的肺腺癌细胞系AGZY83-a和Anip973中的序列并分析其表达。方法 采用测序技术，Northern印迹杂交。G显带后荧光原位杂交分析BRI基因在肺腺癌细胞系的序列与表达。结果 BRI基因在高转移肺腺癌细胞系Anip973中高表达，在其低转移母系AGZY83-a中低表达，两细胞系BRI基因染色体定位区均存在断裂重排。该基因染色体定位区在Anip973中出现扩增。已知BRI基因的-116bp～-5bp处碱基序列和-115bp～-5bp处碱基序列在AGZY83-a和Anip973中分别突变为CTCAGCAGCCCGC和TCAGCCGC。结论 BRI基因在转移能力不同的肺腺癌细胞系差异表达与该基因的染色体定位区域的断裂重排无关，与该基因染色体定位区拷贝数增加及5′非翻译区存在不同的突变可能相关。
