脑脊液髓鞘碱性蛋白自身抗体在脱髓鞘疾病的研究

脑脊液髓鞘碱性蛋白(MBP)自身抗体固相发光免疫分析法,是一项免疫检测新技术,目前国外尚未见到对脱髓病研究的报道。本文作者于1988.5～1989.3首先采用本法并证实其可靠性后,进入临床研究,对36例脱髓鞘病及20例其他CNS疾病者的对照组,用三项免疫指标行对比分析。CSFMBP自身抗体含量及其和同量IgG自身抗体的百分比值分别为69.23±11.95ng/ml及3.24±0.52ug/mg±gG和对照组相比,P值分别为<0.05及<0.001,有显著差异,对本病诊断有意义。

Characterization of Aerosols of Human Recombinant Deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) Generated by Jet Nebulizers

Recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) is a new therapeutic agent developed to improve clearance of purulent sputum from the human airways. It is delivered by inhalation. Four jet nebulizers, T Up-Draft II (Hudson), Customized Respirgard II (Marquest), Acorn II (Marquest), and Airlife Misty (Baxter), were evaluated in vitro for their ability to deliver aerosols of rhDNase. The aerosols were generated from 2.5-mL aqueous solutions of rhDNase, at concentrations of either 1 or 4 mg/mL. In all experiments, the Pulmo-Aide Compressor (De Vilbiss) was used to supply the air to the nebulizers. Between 20 and 28% of the rhDNase dose initially placed in the nebulizers was delivered to the mouthpiece in the respirable range (1-6 µm). Evaluation of the rhDNase following nebulization in all four devices indicated that there was no loss in enzymatic activity and no increase in aggregation. Circular dichroism spectrophotometry indicated there was no change in either the secondary or the tertiary structure in rhDNase following nebulization. These results show that all four nebulizers are essentially equivalent in their ability to deliver respirable doses of rhDNase in an intact, fully active form. Changing the concentration of the solution in the nebulizer from 4 to 1 mg/mL rhDNase leads to a proportional reduction in the respirable dose delivered to the mouthpiece.     

离子通道与弱精子症

弱精子症是引起男性不育的常见病因之一。随着以精子自身为对象的研究深入,发现离子跨膜转运对精子的生理活动起着重要的作用。离子通道病于20世纪90年代提出,现已逐渐发现临床上许多先天性和/或后天获得性疾病与异常的离子通道有关。因此,关于精子的生理和疾病与离子通道的关系研究逐渐成为当前研究的热点之一。现就近年来与精子运动相关的离子通道,包括阳离子通道和阴离子通道的研究进展作一综述。

胃肠道间质瘤的临床病理研究

目的：探讨胃肠道间质瘤(gastrointestinal stromal tumor，GIST)的临床病理特点。方法：对55例GIST的病例进行分析，并对其进行CD117、CD34、S-100、SMA、vimenfin、desmin、NF共7种免疫组化分析。结果：肿瘤的发生部位：胃38例(69％)，小肠10例(18％)，其他部位7例(13％)。肿瘤直径0．4—40cm(平均6．7cm)。肿瘤最大直径≥5cm、核分裂像数≥5/50 HPF及有溃疡形成3项在良性与恶性之间差异有显著意义。免疫组化的阳性表达结果为：CD117 39例(71％)、CD34 45例(82％)、S-100 19例(35％)、SMA 12例(22％)、vimentin 32例(58％)、desmin 6例(11％)、NF2／4(50％)。13例良性GIST患者全部存活，42例恶性及潜在恶性GIST中有4例发生转移，13例死亡。结论：(1)GIST好发于中老年人，无明显性别差异。(2)其主要恶性指标为：肿瘤最大径≥5cm、核分裂像≥5／50 HPF和有溃疡形成。(3)光镜下很难将平滑肌性肿瘤及神经源性肿瘤与GIST相鉴别。     

Correlation between sperm penetration into the human zona pellucida and in vitro fertilization rates

Summary.  Sperm penetration into the zona pellucida of unfertilized oocytes, and its correlation with in vitro fertilization rates of the sibling oocytes, were assessed. This was performed in order to evaluate the prediction rate of the sperm penetration test into the zona pellucida. Unfertilized oocytes ( n =1872) from 371 cycles were pipetted through a microcapillary, and the remaining sperm cells penetrating the zona pellucida were counted. The mean (±SD) number of spermatozoa that penetrated the zona pellucida of unfertilized oocytes was 12.9±16.37. A significant correlation was found between the fertilization rate and the mean number of spermatozoa that penetrated into the zona pellucida of the unfertilized sibling oocytes (r = 0.48; P < 0.001), or the percent of unpenetrated zonae pellucidae in a cohort (r= —0.43; P < 0.001). However, a distinct variation in the number of spermatozoa that penetrated into the zona pellucida was detected. A step-wise regression analysis proved the number of spermatozoa penetrating the zona pellucida to be more predictive for fertilization rates than the variable of percent of unpenetrated zonae pellucidae. The results imply that although there is interdependence between penetration into the zona pellucida and fertilization rate, the predictive value of sperm penetration test for prognosis and future management after the first in vitro fertilization attempt, is limited.     

Monoclonal antibodies to canine intra-acrosomal sperm proteins recognizing acrosomal status during capacitation and acrosome reaction

Summary.  Monoclonal antibodies Ds-1 and Ds-2 specifically labelling dog sperm acrosome were prepared by immunization of mice with acetic acid extracts of dog spermatozoa. Electron microscopy and indirect immunofluorescence localized the site of Ds-1 and Ds-2 proteins inside the acrosomal vesicle. Ds-1 antibody detected 55, 76, 115, 120 and 190kDa proteins under non-reducing conditions, and 73 kDa and 54 kDa proteins after reduction (p73/Ds-1 and p54/Ds-1). 92 kDa and 40 kDa proteins recognized by Ds-2 (p92/Ds-2 and p40/Ds-2) migrated at > 200 kDa in the absence of reducing agent. In vivo , p73/Ds-1 and p54/Ds-1 are therefore likely to be present both in free and complexed form, while all of p92/Ds-2 and p40/Ds-2 form disulfide-bonded complexes. Decrease in the rate of acrosomes stained with Ds-1 and Ds-2 was correlated with the progress of capacitation resulting in the increased rate of spontaneous acrosome reactions, as suggested by a dramatic effect of A23187. Monoclonal antibody to boar acrosin (ACR-2) recognized dog sperm acrosin homologue. A higher rate of ACR-2-negative spermatozoa was observed after capacitation and A23187 treatment compared to Ds-1 and Ds-2, indicating that proteins recognized by Ds-1 and Ds-2 are localized in a specific compartment of acrosome, distinct from acrosin and possibly representing fraction of acrosomal matrix.
