猕猴输精管内注射高分子聚合物HFMC后对睾丸组织结构的影响

本实验选用具有生育力成年雄性猕猴７只，在直视下行双侧ＨＦＭＣ输精管内注射，每侧剂量分别为３０ｍｇ１只，６０ｍｇ和１００ｍｇ各３只；于注射后２．５年和３．５年分别处死动物，取睾丸组织进行光镜和电镜观察．结果发现：猕猴注射ＨＦＭＣ２．５年后，睾丸光镜大部分曲细精管生精上皮结构完整，排列整齐。仅见局部少数管腔生精上皮层数减少，上皮细胞轻度水样变性等病理改变。电镜下曲细精管内除支持细胞内脂褐素增多，轻度基底膜增厚和精母细胞内质网扩张外，各级生精细胞，支持细胞及细胞间连接复合体等超微结构未见明显异常。注射ＨＦＭＣ３．５年后猕猴的光镜、电镜结果与注射后２．５年结果相似，但局部改变较２．５年组轻。上述结果表明：猕猴输精管内注射一定剂量ＨＦＭＣ节育不会引起睾丸组织的严重病理改变。但是，由于注射ＨＦＭＣ后，ＨＦＭＣ释放Ｈ＋及其对输精管的暂时阻塞，改变了精子生存的内环境，使睾丸出现局部轻度病理改变，随着ＨＦＭＣ逐渐溶解排出，睾丸功能相继恢复正常，配对产仔。为ＨＦＭＣ应用提供了安全性依据。     

阴囊前外侧岛状皮瓣再造尿道的解剖学研究及临床应用

目的 为阴囊前外侧岛状皮瓣的设计提供解剖学基础。方法 对20具成人男尸采用少量氨水经股动脉冲洗后，灌注红色乳胶逐段解剖阴部外动脉及其分支。结果 阴囊前外侧皮瓣的血供来自阴囊前动脉，阴囊前动脉的发起点恒定，血供范围大，故该皮瓣有充足的营养及较大的范围，也便于皮瓣的松解和转移。结论 利用此皮瓣重建尿道，适用于阴茎型尿道下裂病例。

缺血性股骨头坏死患者血清透明质酸及层粘连蛋白的研究

为探讨细胞外间质主要成分透明质酸（ＨＡ）与层粘连蛋白（ＬＮ）在缺血性股骨头坏死（ＩＮＦＨ）中的生理病理过程及临床价值，采用放射免疫分析法对４５例不同病因的ＩＮＦＨ患者进行了血清ＨＡ与ＬＮ的定量分析，并与３０例正常人对照。结果显示，ＩＮＦＨ患者血清ＨＡ含量极显著地高于对照组（ｔ＝３－２９；Ｐ＜０－０１）。尤以激素性ＩＮＦＮ增高最为显著（ｔ＝３－６２；Ｐ＜０－０１）。ＩＮＦＨ患者ＬＮ含量亦明显高于对照组（ｔ＝２－８４；Ｐ＜０－０１）。同时，ＨＡ与ＬＮ含量增高与病程发展密切相关。故定量检测ＨＡ与ＬＮ可作为ＩＮＦＨ早期诊断及判断预后的良好指标

目的：观察瞬目反射（ＢＲ）、脑干听觉诱发电位（ＢＡＥＰ）、经颅多普勒超声（ＴＣＤ）对椎基底动脉供血不足（ＶＢＩ）的诊断意义。方法：对４１例已经临床确诊的ＶＢＩ病人在间歇期进行ＢＲ、ＢＡＥＰ及ＴＣＤ检查。结果：ＴＣＤ、ＢＲ、ＢＡＥＰ异常率分别为８３％、８０％、６８％。ＢＲ提示脑桥损害１例、延髓损害１５例、广泛性脑干损害１７例；ＢＡＥＰ发现内耳听力减退２０例、脑干病变１３例；ＴＣＤ发现多血管流速异常１４例、一支流速改变１６例，有或伴有血管张力异常１３例。结论：由于ＢＲ、ＢＡＥＰ反射路径不同，检测结果不尽一致。联合检查有助于对病损部位进行定位。ＴＣＤ则有助于定性诊断     

Kinetics of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus-specific antibodies in 271 laboratory-confirmed cases of SARS

The sensitivities and specificities of an immunofluorescence assay and an enzyme immunoassay for detection of antibodies specific for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) were compared for 148 laboratory-confirmed SARS cases. The appearance and persistence of SARS-CoV-specific antibodies were assessed, with immunoglobulin G detected in 59% of samples collected within 14 days and persisting for 60 to 95 days after the onset of illness.     

胰岛素对白细胞介素1产生及作用的影响

本文研究胰岛素对白细胞介素1(IL—1)的产生及其作用的影响.实验证实:腴岛素能促进LPS刺激的巨噬细胞IL—1的产生,并可增强胸腺细胞对Con A的反应.但用尼龙毛处理胸腺细胞除去粘附细胞后,胸腺细胞在无外源性IL—1存在时,对Con A的反应很弱.胰岛素不能增强经尼龙毛处理后的胸腺细胞对Con A的反应.加入外源性IL—1后,胰岛素可显著增强胸腺细胞对IL—1的应答,促进细胞增殖.这些结果表明。胰岛素是通过促进IL—1的产生及增强其作用来调节激活T细胞的.

Deletion of decay-accelerating factor (CD55) exacerbates autoimmune disease development in MRL/lpr mice

Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein that restricts complement activation on autologous cells. It is also a ligand for CD97, an activation-associated lymphocyte antigen with seven transmembrane domains. It is widely expressed on cells of both the hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic lineages. Although deficiency of DAF on human erythrocytes is associated with the hemolytic anemia syndrome paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, the in vivo biology of DAF is still poorly understood. We addressed the in vivo function of DAF in a knockout mouse model and describe here that deletion of DAF exacerbates autoimmune disease development in MRL/lpr mice, a model for human systemic lupus erythematosus. Compared to DAF-sufficient littermate controls, DAF-deficient female MRL/lpr mice developed exacerbated lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly, higher serum anti-chromatin autoantibody levels, and aggravated dermatitis. Consistent with the phenotype of aggravated dermatitis in DAF-deficient mice, Northern and Western blots and immunofluorescence studies showed DAF to be expressed abundantly in the mouse skin, suggesting that it may play a particularly important role in this tissue. Histology and immunostaining demonstrated inflammatory infiltrate and focal C3 deposition in early skin lesions, mostly along the dermal-epidermal junction. These results reveal a protective function of DAF in the development of a systemic autoimmune syndrome and suggest that dysfunction or down-regulation of DAF may contribute to autoimmune disease pathogenesis and manifestation.     

Myopodin, a synaptopodin homologue, is frequently deleted in invasive prostate cancers.

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths for men in the United States. Like other malignancies, prostate cancer is underscored by a variety of aberrant genetic alterations during its development. Although loss of heterozygosity or allelic loss is frequently identified among prostate cancers, few genes have been identified thus far as critical to the development of invasive prostate cancers. In this report, we used the recently developed technology, the "differential subtraction chain," to perform a genome-wide search for sequences that are deleted in an aggressive prostate cancer. Among the deleted sequences, we found that one sequence was deleted in >50% of prostate cancers we tested. We mapped this sequence to chromosome 4q25 by screening the Genebridge 4 hamster radiation panel with primers specific to this probe, and subsequently identify a 54-kb minimal common deletion region that contains the sequence encoding myopodin. Sequence analysis indicates that myopodin shares significant homology with synaptopodin, a protein closely associated with podocyte and neuron differentiation. Further study shows that frequent complete or partial deletions of the myopodin gene occurred among invasive prostate cancer cases (25 of 31 cases, or 80%). Statistical analysis indicates that deletion of myopodin is highly correlated with the invasiveness of prostate cancers, and thus may hold promise as an important prognostic marker for prostate cancers.
