彩色多普勒血流显像对肺良、恶性肿瘤鉴别诊断的应用

本文应用彩色多普勒血流显像技术对４０例肺肿瘤患者进行研究。全部病例均经手术及病理证实。结果表明：肺恶性肿瘤的内部及周边血流丰富，搏动指数（ＰＩ）和阻力指数（ＲＩ）低于肺良性肿瘤。因此，通过观察肺肿瘤的血流丰富程度及ＰＩ（界值＜１），ＲＩ（界值＜０．５）．可做为辨别肺恶性肿瘤的参考条件。     

复方18甲女用长效口服避孕药对恒河猴的远期安全性研究

选用40例成年健康雌性恒河猴(Macaca mulatta)为实验对象,随机将猴均分为两组。服药猴每月定日喂复方18甲1次,剂量按体重计算,约为妇女月用量的两倍。连续给药6年,停药观察4年。对照猴不给药,在相同条件下饲养观察10年。10年内先后进行了药物与肿瘤学、细胞遗传学和生殖内分泌学等方面的观察。结果表明:该药未能诱发猴的恶性肿瘤;没有造成猴子宫内膜超微结构的明显变化和损伤;不引起猴淋巴细胞染色体的畸变率和SCE 频率发生有统计学意义的改变;服药期间猴的排卵被抑制,停药一段时间后,排卵恢复,并能生育,说明恒河猴长期用该药是安全的。     

2,4—D对甜橙幼果脱落及离区纤维素酶活性的抑制效应

暗柳橙(Citrus sinensis Osbeck)第一次生理落果期(3月下旬～4月中旬)的果实外植体脱落过程中,离区纤维素酶A、B的活性明显升高,第二次落果(4月下旬～5月中旬)期的果实脱落过程中,纤维素酶A的活性也显著提高,但纤维素酶B活性变化较小。细胞内、外纤维素酶的活性在外植体脱落过程中也不断升高。2,4—D能明显抑制胞内、外纤维素酶及纤维素酶A的活性,同时还能抑制外植体及非离休果实内乙烯的产生,但对纤维素酶B活性的影响无明显效应。田间喷布低浓度的2,4—D,明显地减少第一次生理落果,但对第二次落果的作用不如赤霉素。本文还讨论了果实的脱落、纤维素酶活性与乙烯之间的相互关系,及2,4—D的调控作用。并认为采用外植体的方法不失为研究脱落问题的有效手段。     

Genetic basis of tobacco smoking: strong association of a specific major histocompatibility complex haplotype on chromosome 6 with smoking behavior

The genetic basis for addiction to tobacco smoking--particularly that of the perception of olfactory stimuli that may be important in reinforcing smoking addiction--is largely unknown. A cluster of genes for olfactory receptors is in close proximity to the MHC region on chromosome 6. Polymorphisms of MHC class III genes (RCCX modules, TNFA promoter polymorphisms) were determined in 101 healthy subjects and 232 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients from Hungary with defined tobacco smoking habits. A highly significant association between ever smoking (past + current smokers) and a specific MHC haplotype was observed (odds ratios = 2.14-4.13; P-values = 0.012 to <0.001). This haplotype is characterized by the presence of C4A null alleles and a solitary short C4B gene linked to the TNF2 allele of the promoter for TNFA gene. This haplotype occurred more frequently in the ever smokers than in the never smokers [odds ratio: 4.97 (1.96-12.62); P = 0.001], and such associations were stronger in women (odds ratio = 13.6) than in men (odds ratio = 2.79). An independent study of complement C4 protein polymorphism and smoking habits in Icelandic subjects (n = 351) yielded similar and confirmative results. Considering the documented link between olfactory stimuli and smoking in females, and the presence of a cluster of odorant receptor genes close to the MHC class I region, our findings implicate a potential role of the MHC-linked olfactory receptor genes in the initiation of smoking.     

呼气相胸片的识别研究

根据呼气相胸片中肺部区域灰度较高的特点，通过边缘提取和边缘跟踪确定胸部区域，运用最大类间方差方法确定图像分割的阈值．再提取出肺部区域，然后求出肺部的灰度均值。但这样的结果并不理想。于是在此基础上提出修正方案，即以肺部灰度均值和骨骼灰度均值的比值作为特征值．即比例法。此方法可以较客观的识别呼气相胸片。最后用类间距离对这两种方法进行了量化比较。     

Molecular epidemiologic studies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts and breast cancer

We review our studies on the role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-DNA adducts in breast cancer. Additionally we report on analyses of the reliability of the scoring procedures used with immunohistochemical assay for PAH-DNA adducts and of potential bias arising from the use of benign breast disease (BBD) controls. We conducted a case-control study utilizing two control groups: BBD controls who donated tissue and blood samples, and healthy controls who donated blood samples. In comparisons of tumor tissue from cases and benign tissue from BBD controls, increasing adduct levels were significantly associated with case-control status [odds ratio (OR) = 2.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18-4.92], whereas in comparisons of nontumor tissue from cases and benign tissue from BBD controls the association was nonsignificant (OR = 1.97, 95% CI 0.94-4.17). We also show among cases, but not among BBD controls, that the GSTM1 null genotype is associated with increased adduct levels in breast tissue. Our reliability study found the scoring procedures used with the immunohistochemical assay to have high reliability, 0.93 in nontumor, 0.82 in tumor, and 0.74 in benign tissues. However, we found that the technician significantly contributed to the total variability of a series of data. Finally, we did not find a consistent bias to the null associated with the use of BBD controls; however, BBD controls may overestimate the prevalence of family history of breast cancer compared to that of healthy controls (18% vs.14%). We hypothesize that the higher prevalence results from a referral bias and discuss how this may influence our results.     

多脏器恶性肿瘤术后肝黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤

目的 探讨肝黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤的临床病理特征。方法 对1例罕见多脏器恶性肿瘤术后肝黏膜相关淋巴瘤病例结合文献进行临床、病理和免疫组化分析。结果 患者于8年和3年前先后发生胃恶性间质瘤、阴囊阴茎皮肤湿疹样癌，有长期化疗史。肿瘤组织学以单核样B细胞为主，并有淋巴滤泡和淋巴上皮病变形成。免疫表型示瘤细胞CD45、CD79α、CD20阳性，CD5、CD10、ALK、TdT阴性，bcl—2、Ki—67少数肿瘤细胞阳性。结论 肝黏膜相关淋巴瘤可以发生于多脏器恶性肿瘤术后，其发病可能与长期使用免疫抑制剂有关，诊断本病时需与肝继发性淋巴瘤及肝的炎性假瘤鉴别。
