HBV_2患者血清HBsAg的氨基酸组成分析

将２例ＨＢＶ＿２患者血清ＨＢｓＡｇ纯化，分析了ＨＢＶ＿２的ＨＢｓＡｇ氨基酸组成，并与分子量为６３０１９８道尔顿ＨＢＶ＿１的ＨＢｓＡｇ三种多肽氨基醚组成比较。实验发现，ＨＢＶ＿２与ＨＢＶ＿１的ＨＢｓＡｇ的氨基醚组成有较大区别，且区别指数均在１３以上。提示ＨＢＶ＿１和ＨＢＶ＿２的ＨＢｓＡｇ在一级结构上存在较大差异；ＨＢＶ＿２可能系一新的乙型肝炎病毒，也可能系由于ＨＢＶ＿１Ｓ区核苷酸突变所致的变异株。     

Migration and chemical modification of silicone in women with breast prostheses

Studies using magnetic resonance spectroscopy in human volunteers to evaluate their livers in vivo and to analyze their blood in vitro suggest that there are measurable amounts of silicon compounds in the blood of some women with implants and that there is migration of silicone to other organs such as the liver.     

BDNF基因修饰神经干细胞移植后大鼠脊髓损伤移植处的基因表达变化

目的：了解脑源性神经营养因子（Brain-derived neurotrophic factor,BDNF）基因修饰神经干细胞移植到大鼠脊髓损伤处后的基因表达变化，为脊髓损伤修复提供基础研究资料。方法：大鼠随机分为4组：正常对照组，手术对照组，神经干细胞（Neural stem cells,NSCs）移植组，BDNF－NSCs移植组，各组分4个时相点（7d、1个月、2个月、3个月），利用细胞移植、X-gal组化、免疫组化、原位杂交等方法，观察了移植处细胞的标记基因（LacZ）表达和BDNF、胶质纤维酸性蛋白（GFAP）、神经丝－200（NF－200）的表达。结果：大鼠脊髓损伤移植处细胞中，有标记基因阳性细胞，BDNF强烈表达，尤其是BDNF－NSCs移植组的移植后1周和1个月时。各组各时相点均有GFAP和NF－200免疫反应阳性细胞和纤维。结论：BDNF基因修饰神经干细胞能在脊髓损伤移植处存活，强烈表达BDNF，BDNF基因修饰神经干细胞可以作为脊髓损伤修复的移植材料。     

Chironomids fail to emerge from LAS-contaminated water

The effect of the surfactant LAS was investigated on chironomid emergence using six outdoor artificial channels. The concentrations of LAS were mostly between 1 and 2 mgl^-1 in the three treated channels. Chironomus yoshimatsui, Cricotopus tamapullus, Eukiefferiella coerescens, Eukiefferiella sp. and Thienemanniella majuscula were the major chironomids obtained with emergence traps. The number of midges trapped did not differ significantly between the treatment and the control for either of the species. On the other hand, the ratios of midges failing to emerge to the total midges trapped was significantly higher in the treatment than in the control for all of the species. The results show that chironomids emergence is difficult as a result of LAS treatment probably due to the lowered surface tension.     

Treatment of chronic hepatitis B

SUMMARY. Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality. A large number of therapeutic approaches has been tried, including interferon (IFN), nucleoside analogues and immunomodulators. To date controlled clinical trials have shown that only IFN is of long-term value but many patients fail to respond to treatment. New approaches to treating patients with IFN-resistant hepatitis B are currently undergoing clinical and experimental evaluation, and it seems likely that new therapeutic agents will be available in the near future.     

不同形状界面对界面射流的影响──彩色多普勒与激光荧光染料方法的研究

本文通过应用彩色多普勒及激光荧光染料显示射流方法研究了不同形状界面对射流的影响。结果表明对照组及平坦界面射流时，彩色多普勒与激光荧光染料两种方法无显著差异；在弯曲界面条件下，彩色多普勒射流小于激光荧光染料射流（Ｐ＜０．０１～０．０００１）。彩色多普勒研究表明不同形状界面射流大小分别与每搏容量相关好（ｒ＝０．８３～０．９９），但射流大小明显不同。凹形界面射流面积最小，平坦及凸形界面射流面积也小于对照组。研究提示不同形状界面可以导致界面射流不同程度地减小，并且彩色多普勒也不易对弯曲界面的射流完全成像。在临床上应用彩色多普勒对返流定量时，需考虑上述影响。     

氨乙基氨丙基聚二甲基硅氧烷改性水性聚酯型聚氨酯的研究

由聚酯二元醇、异佛尔酮二异氰酸酯和二羟甲基丙酸合成聚氨酯预聚体，以氨乙基氨丙基聚二甲基硅氧(AEAPS)为扩链剂，制备了AEAPS改性聚氨酯水分散液。与未改性的聚氨酯水分散液相比，AEAPS改性聚氨酯水分散液的粒径增大，但粒径分布和表面张力基本不变，说明疏水的聚二甲基硅氧烷侧链被包裹于分散颗粒的内部；此外，改性聚氨酯水分散液的冻融稳定性显著增强。AEAPS改性聚氨酯水分散液成膜后，吸水率明显下降，水在膜表面的接触角增加，400℃时热失重下降，具有良好的疏水性和耐热性。     

白细胞介素-12基因修饰对树突状细胞表面分子表达及细胞因子分泌的影响

目的 观察白细胞介素(IL)-12基因修饰对树突状细胞(DC)表面分子及细胞因子分泌的影响.方法 采用重组逆转录病毒介导IL-12基因修饰人外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)来源的Dc;ELISA法检测各组DCs和各组T细胞上清中IL-12、IL-10、IFN-γ因子的分泌水平;流式细胞仪(FACS)分析各组DC表面CD83、CD86的表达;MTT法检测DC刺激同源T淋巴细胞增殖的能力;统计学分析比较各组间的差异.结果 IL-12基因修饰使得DC高表达CD83和CD86分子,分泌高水平IL-12及IFN-γ,但对IL-10因子的分泌无明显影响,刺激同源T淋巴细胞增殖明显,诱导激活的T细胞上清中IFN-γ水平显著增高、IL-10分泌水平显著降低.结论 经IL-12基因修饰后的DC表型成熟,分泌IL-12及IFN-γ的能力增强,对IL-10因子的分泌无影响,能抑制T细胞分泌IL-10因子,优化抗原提呈的微环境.     

The significance of involvement of a free serosal surface for recurrence and survival following resection of clinicopathological stage B and C rectal cancer

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of tumour at a free serosal surface was independently associated with pelvic recurrence or survival in patients who had a resection for clinicopathological stage B or stage C rectal cancer and who had not received adjuvant therapy. METHOD: Data were drawn from a comprehensive, prospective hospital registry of all resections for rectal cancer from January 1971 to December 1998 with follow up to December 2003. Statistical analysis employed the chi(2) test or Fisher's exact probability, Kaplan-Meier estimation and proportional hazards regression, with a significance level of < or =0.05 and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: In 665 patients with stages B or C tumour, 35 (5.3%; CI 3.7-7.2%) had tumour at a free serosal surface. These comprised 6/332 (1.8%; CI 0.8-3.7%) patients with stage B tumour and 29/333 (8.7%; CI 6.1-12.2%) with stage C tumour. After adjustment for other relevant variables, involvement of a free serosal surface was significantly associated with pelvic recurrence [hazard ratio (HR) 2.7; CI 1.3-5.5] and diminished survival (HR 1.6; CI 1.1-2.4) but not with systemic (only) recurrence. CONCLUSION: This study has confirmed that direct tumour spread to a free serosal surface independently predicts pelvic recurrence and diminished survival after resection of clinicopathological stage B and C rectal cancer. This feature should always be sought by the pathologist and reported when present, and noted by the surgeon and oncologist. Serosal involvement should be evaluated further for its utility in selecting patients for adjuvant therapy.
