An adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay for detecting the number of living cells]

The method for detecting the number of living cells was studied. Using an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence assay, the present authors reported a perfect linear relationship between lg ATP concentrations and lg luminescence counts (r = 0.9963) as well as a relationship between lg number of cells and lg ATP luminescence counts (r = 0.9922). The detectable cells ranged from 10(2) to 10(6) cells/ml, the coefficients of variation 1-3%. This method is simple, accurate and sensitive and has a high reproducibility.     

2型糖尿病及其血管并发症患者血清ACE活性的变化

This investigation was made with reference to the changes of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) activity in type 2 diabetes and its vascular complications. SACE activity was studied in 127 type 2 diabetic patients and 90 healthy persons by using a spectrophotometric assay. The results showed SACE activity was obviously higher in diabetic patients (459.51 +/- 175.85 U) than in healthy persons (321.14 +/- 121.27 U); SACE activity was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (548.27 +/- 166.60 U) than in patients without diabetic nephropathy (383.2 +/- 139.00 U), but there was no difference between patients with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria; no statistical difference was detected in SACE activity between diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy (465.64 +/- 178.93 U) and without retinopathy (449.07 +/- 170.04 U); SACE activity was not associated with the course of diabetes, blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose. These data suggest that raised SACE activity might only play a role in the initiation of type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, but not relate to the progress of diabetic nephropathy, the onset of diabetic retinopathy and hypertension.     

鼻咽癌组织中微血管的分布

目的：观察鼻咽癌组织中微血管的分布及存在状况,探讨其与鼻咽癌的临床病理联系。方法：采用免疫组织化学Ｓ－Ｐ法,检测血栓调节蛋白在鼻咽癌血管内皮细胞的表达,进行微血管的定性半定量研究。结果：鼻咽癌组织中微血管的分布不均匀。极性消失。血管呈分支芽状弥漫分布于癌组织中,或呈条索状围绕癌细胞团。微血管的数目与癌细胞的增殖指数屯预后正相关。结论：鼻咽癌组织中微血管数与患者的生存期有关。

目的：探讨ＡＴＰ敏感性钾通道（ＫＡＴＰ通道）开放剂ＫＲＮ２３９１（ＫＲＮ）对离体大鼠心功能及心肌梗死范围的影响。方法：用Ｌａｎｇｅｎｄｏｒｆｆ装置,观察不同浓度ＫＲＮ对冠脉灌流量及左心室压力的影响。应用离体大鼠双冠脉分别灌注芊４５ｍｉｎ缺血及２ｈ再灌注,观察药物对心肌梗死面积的影响。结果：ＫＲＮ在达到１ｕｍｏｌ／Ｌ浓度后冠脉灌流量明显增加,达２０ｕｍｏｌ／Ｌ时左室收缩压明显下降,用１ｕｍｏｌ／ＬＫ     

Effect of superantigen on ion electrophysiology and permeability in rabbit maxillary sinus epithelia

Objective Superantigens are potent inflammatory stimuli which derive from pathogenic microbes such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of superantigens on the function of rabbit maxillary sinus epithelium. Methods Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 4 groups. Rabbit sinus mucosa was separated under a surgical microscope and mounted in Ussing chambers to record short circuit current, conductance and permeability to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Group A was used as normal control. Group B was stimulated with an injection of superantigen into the sinus for 4 hours. The sinus mucosa of Group C was stimulated by the addition of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) into Ussing chambers. Group D sinus mucosa was stimulated by superantigen after pretreatment with anti-TNF-α antibody. Results Superantigen evoked increases in sinus epithelial cell baseline short circuit current, conductance and permeability to HRP stimulated by the addition of TNF-α into Ussing chambers. These were similar to results from superantigen stimulation in vivo. The effect of superantigen on sinus epithelial cells could be blocked by pretreatment with anti-TNF-α antibody. Conclusions Superantigen affected the function of sinus epithelial cells, including the capability of epithelial defensive barrier, which might be mediated by TNF-α.     

Urban-rural comparison of HBV and HCV infection prevalence in eastern China

The present study was initiated to make and urban-rural comparison of the prevalence of cases positive to hepatitis B and C virus(HBV and HCV,respectively)infection markers in densely populated eastern half of China.For this purpose.10 survey sites were selected,i.e.,six sites in urban areas(the city group;Beijing,shangahi and four provincial capitals)and four sites in rural areas(the village group;one village each in Jilin and Shandong provinces,and two villages in Shaanxi Province),About 50 adult women per site volunteered to participate,from whom 494 valid bllod samples were collected.Positivities to HBsAg(HBsAg^ ),anti-HBs(anti-HBs^ )and antiHBc(anti-HBc^ )were examined by RIA methods.and that to anti-HCV(anti-HCV^ )by either EIA or RIA.Those positive to any one of the three HBV infection markers were taken as HBV infection-positive(HBV^ ).The prevalence of HBsAg^ ,HBV^ and anti-HBc^ was 8%,70%and 2.7% in the city group,and 8%,65% and 2.0%in the village group,and no significant difference was found between the two groups.The overall prevalence was 8% for HBsAg^ ,68% for HBV^ ,and 2.4% for anti-HVC^ ,The results were discussed in reference to some 20 papers each on HBV^ and anti-HCV^ prevalence in China published since(1991),The reviewing of these papers of anti-HCV was low(well below 5%),and that no substantial difference was found between the rural and urban populations.
