狗股动脉弹性纤维的扫描电镜观察

用甲酸消化法制取正常股动脉弹性纤维标本，冷冻干燥后进行扫描电镜观察。见到内弹性膜上有许多散分布的窗孔，中膜的弹性经组织呈复杂的网状，外膜的弹性组织以粗大的纵向分层排列的弹性纤维为主。     

单克隆抗体间接荧光法分型检测单纯疱疹病毒的实验研究

本文选择３株抗单纯疱疹病毒型共同性和型特异性单克隆抗体，建立了分型检测单纯疱疹病毒的单克隆抗体间接荧光法（ＭｃＡｂ－１ＦＡ）．特异性试验和重复性试验证实，ＭｃＡｂ－ＩＦＡ特异性强、重复性好．用此法检测了不同部位来源的５１份临床分离株，分型检测结果与ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测结果一致．提示ＭｃＡｂ－ＩＦＡ有可能成为实验室分型检测单纯疱疹病毒可靠的方法．     

Status of hepatitis B virus DNA in hepatocellular carcinoma: a study based on paired tumor and nontumor liver tissues

To investigate the hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA status in the liver when hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has developed, 35 paired nontumorous and tumorous liver tissues from 27 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-seropositive and 8 HBsAg-negative patients with HCC were studied by Southern blot analysis. The hybridization patterns of HBV DNA were different in the nontumor and tumor parts in 26 (96.3%) of the 27 HBsAg-positive patients. In the nontumor parts, integration of HBV DNA into the host genome was significantly less when compared to the tumor parts (15/27 vs. 25/27, P less than 0.05), whereas free replicative viral forms were significantly more frequent (17/27 vs. 7/27). The integrated HBV DNA in the nontumor parts showed discrete band patterns in the majority of cases (13/15). Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) was significantly associated with the expression of free replicative forms of HBV DNA in the tumor tissues. An integrated HBV DNA sequence was detected in the tumor part of one HBsAg-negative patient, but not in her nontumor counterpart. Our observation that discrete integrated HBV DNAs are present in the nontumor part, representing subclinical clonal expansion that precedes the development of HCC, suggests the risk of future new tumor growth from these cell clones.     

Role of proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic precursors in regeneration of hemopoiesis in cytostatic myelodepressions

Quantitative and qualitative composition of hemopoietic tissue and the intensity of proliferation and differentiation of committed hemopoietic precursors are studied in mice treated with adriamycin, cyclophosphane, or 5-fluorouracil. It is shown that intense maturation of colony-forming units results in rapid regeneration of hemopoiesis even under conditions of reduced proliferation of these cells, whereas inhibition of their differentiation suppresses restoration of bone marrow cellularity despite intense proliferation of hemopoietic precursors.

Participation of hematopoietic stem cells in formation of the immune response

The effect of different doses of sheep's red blood cells (SRBC) on endogenous colony formation and immunogenesis was studied in CBA and C57BL mice. The absolute and relative numbers of antibody-forming cells (AFC) was shown to increase with an increase in the dose of SRBC from 2×10⁷ to 2×10⁸, and to decrease with a dose of 2×10⁹ in mice of both lines. With an increase in the dose of antigen, the number of endogenous splenic colonies (ESC) of hematopoietic cells also increased. Interlinear differences in the number of ESC persisted. It is suggested that the mechanism of stimulation of the hematopoietic series is based on a unique type of blockade of the reticuloendothelial system by foreign red blood cells, leading to increased proliferative activity of the stem cells.Laboratory of Regulation of Immunopoiesis, Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicien, Siberian Branch, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.

Manumycin诱导细胞凋亡抑制乳腺癌细胞SK-BR-3活性

目的:研究manumycin对乳腺癌腹腔转移癌细胞株SK-BR-3的抑癌效应及其诱导凋亡。方法:用MTT法检测manumycin对SK-BR-3细胞的抑癌作用。免疫印迹方法检测p38 MAPK蛋白表达。用caspase-3活性检测试剂盒定量检测manumycin诱导细胞凋亡的水平及评估特异性的p38 MAPK抑制剂SB203580对凋亡的影响。结果:经6 μmol/L、18 μmol/L、54 μmol/L manumycin处理SK-BR-3细胞24 h时,其抑制率分别为(7.4±3.9)%、(21.0±4.4)%和(64.7±4.1)%,呈量效关系。其中后2者的细胞活性与对照组比有显著差异(P<0.01)。用药24 h的IC₅₀为42.5 μmol/L。同时此药物可明显增加caspase-3的活性,且这一效应可部分地被p38抑制剂SB203580阻断。免疫印迹结果显示manumycin促进p38的磷酸化。结论:manumycin可通过诱导SK-BR-3细胞凋亡而产生抑癌作用,p38 MAPK是manumycin诱导细胞凋亡的通路之一。     

Control of locomotion in marine mollusc — Clione limacina. V. Photoinactivation of efferent neurons

Summary Efferent neurons in isolated pedal ganglia of the pteropodial mollusc Clione limacina were filled with Lucifer Yellow through the wing nerves. Then the ganglia were illuminated with intense blue light which resulted in the complete inactivation of these neurons. After inactivation of efferent neurons, interneurons of the pedal ganglia continued to generate the locomotor rhythm.
