交链孢酚单甲醚在大鼠小鼠体内的分布

对食管癌高发区粮食中分离的互隔交链孢霉的毒素交链孢酚单甲醚(AME)在大鼠、小鼠体内的分布进行研究。给动物腹腔内注射氚标记的交链孢酚单甲醚(~3H-AME),然后在不同时间测各脏器的放射性。结果表明:在所测9个脏器中,2h肝脏含量最高,食管下段在大小鼠分别居第四和第三。但大小鼠分别在72、24h则以食管下段最高,说明AME及其代谢物在此清除较慢,即对其有较高的亲和力。     

Effect of Population Aging on the International Organ Donation Rates and the Effectiveness of the Donation Process

This study analyzed the effect of population aging on organ donation for transplants in 43 countries and on the effectiveness of the donation process by comparing the results between Spain and the United States. The percentage of the population aged 65 or over accounted for 33% of the difference in the donation rates between the countries and for 91% of the variation in the rates after age adjustment. However, the level of aging of the Spanish (16.5%) and American (12.3%) populations failed to account for the percentages of deceased donors 65 or over (28% vs. 10%), due to the different age-specific donation rates, much higher in Spain above 50 years. These differences lead to a higher effectiveness of the process in the United States (3.1 transplanted organs per donor vs. 2.5 in Spain), though at lower rates of transplant per million population (73 vs. 87). We conclude that older populations have a greater donation potential as donation rates are strongly associated with population aging. It should therefore be mandatory to adjust donation rates for age before making comparisons. Additionally, effectiveness decreases with older donors, so age should be considered when establishing standards relating to organ donation and effectiveness of the process.

Body mass index, percent body fat, and bone mass in a cohort of Chinese twins aged 6 to 18 years

Introduction This report examines the relationship of body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (%BF), and bone mass in a cohort of male and female twins recruited from Anhui province, China, ages 6–18 years—577 male pairs (mean age = 11.4) and 478 female pairs (mean age = 11.6). Methods Whole body bone mineral content (WBMC) in (g), whole body bone area (WBA) in (cm²), and %BF were measured using DEXA (Lunar Prodigy, USA). Regression analysis of within-pair differences was used to assess the strength of the association, and the analysis was stratified by gender and age group, where age cut-offs were based on ages at spermarche or menarche estimated from large population based studies in China. Males were stratified at ages before 14 and age 14–18, and females at ages prior to 12 and age 12–18. Results Univariately, BMI and %BF were associated with WBMC and WBA in the younger males and females, and in older males; %BF was significant only in older females. Multivariate models included both BMI and %BF. Among the younger males, age < 14, BMI and %BF were significantly associated with WBMC and WBA. In the younger females, age < 12, %BF was only significant to WBA. In the older age group, only BMI was significant to WBMC and WBA in females, but in males, BMI was positively associated, and %BF was negatively associated with both bone measures. Discussion These findings show that association between BMI and %BF and bone mass differ across gender and developmental stages, and %BF appears to be beneficial at younger ages, but detrimental or non-beneficial at older ages of development.

Physiological pharmacokinetics of solutes in the isolated perfused rat hindlimb: Characterization of the physiology with changing perfusate flow,protein content,and temperature using statistical moment analysis

Distribution of Evans Blue (EB), sucrose, and water into the isolated perfused rat hindlimb was studied under various conditions using the multiple indicator dilution (MID) technique. Statistical moment analyses of the outflow profiles for the EB, sucrose, and water were used to define the vascular, extravascular, and total water spaces, respectively. The varied perfusion conditions included albumin content (2, 4.7, and 7%), temperature (25, 37, and 42 C), perfusate flow rate (2, 4, 8, and 12 ml/min) and the presence/absence of red blood cells. The range of studies undertaken were chosen to represent the variety of conditions used in the preparation of both isolated animal and human limbs, the latter being particularly important in cytotoxic therapy for recurrent malignant melanoma. The distribution volumes of EB, sucrose, and water were dependent on the flow rate and the albumin content of perfusate. The normalized variances (CV ² ) of the markers were of the following order: sucrose (2.18) > water (1.58) > EB (0.68), indicating that some disequilibrium occurs during the capillary exchange of water and sucrose. It is suggested that a Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing 2% BSA is a suitable perfusate for most studies of the isolated rat hindlimb perfusion. The effect of albumin concentration manifests itself only at higher flows.We acknowledge the support of the National Heart Foundation (Queensland) and the Mayne Bequest Foundation.

Stereoselective distribution of tiaprofenic acid in synovium and cartilage in osteoarthritic patients

Objective: In order to document the stereoselective distribution in joints of a chiral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, the relative affinities of the enantiomers of tiaprofenic acid in synovium and for cartilage were compared. Methods: The distribution of tiaprofenic acid in synovium and in cartilage was studied 25 h after administering the racemic drug for 2 days (600 mg of a sustained-release preparation, once daily), in 12 inpatients with osteoarthritis of the hip requiring arthroplasty. Enantiomers were quantified in plasma and freeze-ground tissues by a chiral HPLC assay. Results: Plasma concentrations of the dextrorotatory (R) enantiomer (0.40 μg/ml) were higher than those of its antipode. The concentration of racemate in synovium (in dried and fresh tissues, 150% and 40%, respectively, of the concentration in plasma) was much higher than that in cartilage (in dried tissues 32% of the plasma concentration). The ratio of the active, dextrorotatory (R) enantiomer to its antipode was higher in synovial tissue than in plasma. Conclusion: Tiaprofenic acid is distributed stereoselectively in plasma and synovium, which contain a higher concentration of the active, dextrorotatory (R) enantiomer. In cartilage, it reaches only a very low concentration. Received: 26 June 1995/Accepted in revised form: 7 November 1995     

全国部分城乡家鼠鼠情监测三年结果分析——Ⅰ.鼠种组成及地区分布

对全国部分城乡家鼠鼠情监测三年结果的分析表明:城乡家鼠组成均以三大家鼠(褐家鼠、小家鼠、黄胸鼠)为主,其次为食虫目臭鼩鼱~#和黑线姬鼠。五种主要鼠种在家鼠组成中的数量比基本稳定,但三年中城乡少数鼠种间的顺位有所变化。监测结果亦表明,五种主要鼠种的地区分布是:褐家鼠、小家鼠遍布所有监测的省、市、区,同以往文献中遍布全国的说法一致;黄胸鼠分布于黄河以南;食虫目中的臭鼩鼱分布于华中区以南的广大地区。这在以往文献中均已有记载,但以往文献有关黄胸鼠和臭鼩鼱分布的其他说法,则被证实为不确切的。黑线姬鼠的分布范围已超过以往文献中关于分布于东北、华北及长江流域的说法,但以往文献中关于该鼠种遍及全国的说法是否正确,则有待进一步证实。     

The influence of support conditions in the loading fixture on failure mechanisms in the push-out test: a finite element study

The usefulness of the push-out test as an indicator of interface strength was evaluated using finite element models of intact and partially failed cylindrical push-out specimens loaded against a rigid annular support. The irregular stress distributions that were found in intact specimens depended more on interface conditions at the loading fixture than on a 35% increase in interface area. The maximum stress at the interface was a tensile stress. Critical energy release rates for interface failure were calculated for flawed specimens in which flaw size was either 10 or 100 microns, and for boundary conditions at the loading fixture that were either fixed or slipping in the radial direction. The critical energy release rates depended heavily on the support boundary conditions. Thus, the results of parametric push-out tests can be reasonably compared only for specimens that are very similar in geometry and that are loaded in very carefully controlled fixtures.
