Exogenous advanced glycosylation end products induce diabetes-like vascular dysfunction in normal rats: a factor in diabetic retinopathy

BACKGROUND. Diabetic retinopathy has been shown to be directly associated with the degree and duration of hyperglycemia, and advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) have been implicated in this pathological process. The purpose of the experiments reported here was to study the effect of AGE deposition on retinal vascular damage which leads to diabetic retinopathy. METHODS. Intravenous injection of exogenous AGEs was used to treat wild-type non-diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats. One of the two retinal slides from each animal was treated using immunohistochemical staining to label retinal vascular AGE deposition, the other H&E staining for counting of capillary pericytes. The results were compared with the findings in untreated wild-type and diabetic controls and in rats treated with unmodified rat serum albumin (RSA). RESULTS. After 2 weeks of continuous treatment, AGEs were identified in the retinal vascular tissue of the AGE-RSA-injected group. The average number of retinal capillary pericytes per 10x100 microscope power field was 4.313+/-0.34 (mean +/- SD) in the AGE-RSA-injected group, compared with 5.798+/-0.481 in the control group ( P<0.01). CONCLUSION. These experiments demonstrate that AGEs, independent of other metabolic factors, can induce vascular change resembling that of diabetic retinopathy.     

新生儿脐炎85例脐部分泌物细菌学分析

目的：了解新生儿脐部感染细菌学状况，为临床提供预防及治疗参考。方法：调查我院1997年1月－2002年6月收治的有完善细菌学资料的新生儿脐炎85例，对所获得的98例致病菌的种类及药敏状况进行分析。结果：社会获得性感染主要致病菌为G^ 球菌（70．5％），金黄色葡萄球菌占比例较高。医院感染主要致病菌为C^-杆菌（51．4％），以大肠埃希菌占比例较高。两类感染所分离的细菌均具有多重耐药性，但对氨基糖苷类及喹诺酮类耐药率较低，其次是第三代头孢菌素类抗生素。结论：临床对新生儿脐部感染，特别是有严重感染中毒症状时，应首先考虑使用第三代头孢菌素类抗生素。     

颅内生殖细胞瘤综合治疗

报告５０例颅内生殖细胞瘤，手术治疗１９例，放射治疗４３例。综合治疗后临床症状改善４１例，无效２例。随访３２例，其中恢复正常工作或学习者１４例，生活能自理１２例，生活部分需人帮助４例，死亡２例。５年生存率为５０％。推荐放疗为首选治疗手段，并对合并颅内压增高及多发性、复发性肿瘤的治疗作了讨论。     

人碱性成纤维细胞生长因子基因在大肠杆菌中的克隆与表达

应用DNA重组技术将编码人碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（bbFGF）的基因克隆至原核高效表达质粒pBV_(221)的启动子下游。SDS-SAGE、ELISA和NTT活性监测结果表明:该重组质粒pBV-hbFGF在大肠杆菌DH5α中,经42℃诱导后,可表达出有较高生物活性的hbFGF。     

见于湖南的一例血红蛋白G-台中家系

见于湖南江华县的一例慢泳血红蛋白α链变种,其先证者为汉族青年,属杂合子。家系调查发现其父、大姐和弟均携有同样的异常Hb。血液学常规检查一般正常。除先证者肝在肋缘下0.5cm扪及外,无任何临床症状。经一级结构分析,确证此例为HbG一台中[α74(EF3)Asp→His]。功能观测其氧平衡特征与HbA无差异。这是见于湖南的首例。
