INAUGURAL ARTICLE by a Recently Elected Academy Member:The cell surface metalloprotease/disintegrin Kuzbanian is required for axonal extension in Drosophila

It has long been suspected that proteolytic activity associated with advancing growth cones may be required for axon extension. We have isolated mutations in the kuzbanian (kuz) gene, which is expressed in the nervous system and encodes a putative zinc metalloprotease with a disintegrin domain. Drosophila embryos with loss-of-function mutations in kuz have dramatic defects in the development of central nervous system axon pathways, with many axons stalling and failing to extend through the nerve cord. This phenotype is rescued by panneural expression of kuz mRNA in the embryo. These results show that the Kuz metalloprotease is required for axon extension, suggesting a requirement for proteolytic activity at the growth cone surface.     

HLA‐DPB1 allelic frequency of the Pumi ethnic group in south‐west China and evolutionary relationship of Pumi with other populations

A sequencing‐based typing of the HLA‐DPB1 gene was carried out in 51 unrelated healthy individuals from the Yunnan Pumi ethnic minority. A total of 18 DPB1 alleles, in which DPB1*0501 (52.0%) and DPB1*0402 (15.7%) greatly predominated, were found, of which alleles DPB1*20011, 2201, 3601, 3701, 3801, 4901, 5001 and 8001 were recorded for the first time in the Chinese population. This may be because the typing methods used in previous genotyping of Chinese populations were of lower sensitivity than that used in our study. A dendrogram constructed by the maximum likelihood method showed that the Pumi ethnic minority belongs to the Asian/Australasian cluster and has the closest relationship to Trobriander, implying an unusual relationship between Australasian and South China populations. However, the Yi ethnic minority, which also comes from the ancient Qiang, did not show a very close relationship with the Pumi. This is probably because the Pumi were historically assimilated by local south‐west China populations.

假体隆乳术后并发症的防治

目的探讨乳房假体隆乳术后并发症产生的相关因素及预防方法。方法对198例患者乳房假体隆乳术后1~17年出现的并发症进行分析,阐述防治措施,针对不同情况进行相应的处理。结果本组198例患者,其中92例患者随访半年至1年,除Ⅲ°包膜挛缩患者术后仍出现Ⅱ~Ⅲ°包膜挛缩外(包膜松解术后3例,包膜切除术后4例),余患者对治疗效果满意。结论乳房假体隆乳术后出现的并发症,多数是可以预防和治疗的,只要术中操作规范,对并发症及早准确的处理,是提高手术效果,减少并发症发生的有效方法。     

浅谈药剂学的备课

由于长期从事药剂学的教学工作，在备教材、备学生这2个重要方面积累了一些经验：寻找教材中存在的问题，然后适当地处理教材；找准学生真实的学习起点，为学生设计自主学习的方式，以便于更好地实施教学。     

急性重复性缺氧小鼠脑组织中儿茶酚胺类神经递质含量变化的研究

用高效液相-电化学检测器测定急性重复性缺氧小鼠脑组织中DOPA、DA、NE和Ep等儿茶酚胺类物质的含量。结果发现:与空白对照组(A组)比较,缺氧1次的实验对照组(B组)及急性重复缺氧4次实验组(C组),随缺氧次数增加,小鼠脑组织中的DA含量显着上升(P<0.01),NE、DOPA含量明显降低(P<0.05或<0.01);A组与急性重复4次缺氧后饲养2d的实验对照组(D组)小鼠脑组织中儿茶酚胺类含量接近,没有统计学意义(P=23.77).结果提示脑组织中儿茶酚胺类物质可能参与急性重复缺氧小鼠的耐缺氧能力的形成,而且是一个可逆的快反应。

上海地区女性生殖道人乳头瘤病毒感染的检测

应用地高辛甙元标记人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)-6,11,16和18探针,通过核酸杂交法检测上海地区女性患者HPV的感染。计活检组织标本128例,阴道脱落细胞130例,同时取样34例。斑点杂交结果表明活检组织中四种类型HPV的总阳性率:宫颈癌44％,宫颈间变66.7％,有间变史28.6％,外阴尖锐湿疣63％和慢性宫颈炎5.6％。阴道脱落细胞的各阳性率与之相近,同时取样的检测符合率为91.2％。Southern转移杂交结果提示:宫颈癌以HPV-16型为主,尖锐湿疣中的HPV为6和11型     

Recent microsurgical advances in China

For more than two decades, microsurgery has been developed, practiced, and refined in China. For the most part, this has taken place independent of a parallel process in the Western World. Only until recent years has there been some communication from China regarding this microsurgical experience. The authors believe that there is much yet to be learned from the wealth of Chinese experience in microsurgery, just as Chinese surgeons have gained valuable information from the West. The authors reviewed the microsurgical literature in China from 1983 to 1986, and present here what we regard to be of particular interest to American microsurgeons, including the areas of digital reconstruction, replantation, flap transfer and transposition, and microsurgical techniques and patient management. Some historical background in the development of Chinese microsurgery is also provided.
