Alterations in the superoxide dismutase gene of an isoniazid-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Genetic analysis of a set of six Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains differing in virulence for the guinea pig revealed an altered restriction enzyme fragmentation pattern associated with the superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene in a low-virulence, isoniazid-resistant strain. In addition, it was found that the SOD enzyme produced by the isoniazid-resistant strain differed in its electrophoretic mobility from the SOD of other M. tuberculosis strains. Detailed analysis of these strain-specific differences showed that the restriction fragment length polymorphism resulted from the presence of a copy of a repetitive element 552 bp upstream of the SOD gene and that the anomalous electrophoretic mobility arose from a single nucleotide change, resulting in replacement of an aspartic acid residue by histidine in the SOD enzyme of the isoniazid-resistant strain. Possible relationships between genetic changes and strain-dependent differences in virulence are discussed.     

长效驱避剂的筛选及剂型研究

本文以埃及伊蚊为试验对象,对新合成的4种化合物驱蚊效果进行了测定,其中有3种超过了DETA。当DETA加入保护剂或和其它化合物复配后,可延长防蚊时间。试验表明增大驱避剂的浓度和延长防蚊时间不成等比例关系。复配制剂和保护剂的研究是延长驱蚊效果的重要途径。

Chromosome mapping of Rett syndrome: a likely candidate region on the telomere of Xq.

Rett syndrome (RS) is a disease of neurological development. First reported 30 years ago in 1966, its biological and genetic basis remains obscure. RS is commonly thought of as an X linked dominant disorder lethal to hemizygous males. The few familial cases would arise through mosaicism or because of occasional females failing to manifest the disorder through skewed X inactivation in relevant cell types. We have one family where the mother and daughter are affected with RS, and which can be explained according to this hypothesis. If the alternative proposal of Thomas (1996) is correct, that the lack of males affected by such disorders is the result of a high male to female ratio of germline mutations rather than of gestational lethality, then the RS gene should be located on the grandpaternal chromosome. Genomic screening with markers covering the whole X chromosome has been performed. Studies using multiple informative markers indicate that the RS locus is likely to be located close to one of the X chromosome telomeres. Further investigations in eight additional families suggest the most likely region for the RS gene to be is the distal part of Xq (Xq28).     

人体膀胱移行上皮癌细胞系(TSB-90,TSB-91)的建立及其生物学特性

从1例膀胱癌患者的癌组织培养中，分离得到2个不同生长特性的悬浮生长型细胞系，定名为TSB-90和TSB-91。在培养过程中，对其生物学特性进行了细胞和亚细胞水平的探讨，并进行了核型分析。发现2个细胞系核型的演化趋势有明显差异，生物学特性也不尽相同。这可能与膀胱癌组织中细胞的遗传异质性和分化程度有关。对其机制和细节有待进一步深入研究。

角膜溃疡穿孔的修复与修复材料的选择

总结２１例用不同材料修复角膜穿孔的病例，修复材料分别为结膜瓣、硅胶板、断层自体皮片和同种异体角膜。结膜瓣遮盖仅２／３保存眼球，愈合后视力差，并发症多；硅胶板可在穿孔大、情况紧急时作暂时封孔保存眼球之用；自体断层皮片术后不久即溶解，角膜移植者７眼中６眼保存了眼球，且有５例植片透明，视力０．１以上。

心律失常运动员心输出量的研究

近年来由于训练强度不断增大,高水平运动员心律失常的发生率显著增加。本文研究资料表明,男心律失常组安静时心搏量明显大于正常组(P<0.05),而运动后心搏量降低(正常组心搏量增加),说明心律失常的运动员心脏储备能力差,心脏泵血功能降低,应予慎重对待。
