哺乳期营养对室间隔心肌细胞发育的影响——游离心肌细胞的形态测量

在心肌细胞分化性生长时期,改变新生鼠的哺乳期营养条件对这些鼠的空间隔心肌细胞将会产生暂时性作用和持久性影响。哺乳期高营养的暂时性作用是增加空间隔心肌细胞的大小和数量;而低营养的暂时性作用则是减慢室间隔心肌细胞的生长。哺乳期高营养的持久性作用是限制室间隔心肌细胞的过度肥大;而低营养则促进成熟鼠的室间隔心肌细胞的过度肥大。     

胰岛素样生长因子在人前列腺增生症中作用的探讨

应用免疫组化方法完成了胰岛素样生长因子（ＩＧＦ－Ｉ）在４８例人前列腺增生中的组织定位。组织经４％甲醛固定，石蜡包埋。ＩＧＦ－Ｉ免疫反应主要定位于腺体基底层上皮细胞浆内，阳性染色也见于腺体分泌上皮、鳞状化生上皮、平滑肌细胞和神经纤维细胞内。证实：ＩＧＦ－Ｉ存在于前列腺增生患者的前列腺组织中，并且与前列腺增生的发病有一定关系。

Reversible and irreversible airway inflammation and fibrosis in mice exposed to inhaled ovalbumin

Objective and design: We examined the reversibility of several changes in the lungs and airways of mice immediately after exposure to ovalbumin aerosol and after a period of recovery breathing clean air.Methods: Mice were exposed for 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 weeks, with recovery in clean air for 1–3 weeks.Results: Airway collagen content, exhaled NO, airway mucous cell hyperplasia, and lung lavage inflammatory cell content increased upon exposure to ovalbumin aerosol. All parameters except airway fibrosis decreased partially or completely to control values with recovery in clean air.Conclusions: Airway mucous cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia appear to be completely reversible after recovery in clean air, while exhaled NO and airway inflammation appear to be mostly reversible, except for persistence of lymphocytes in the lung lavage fluid. Airway fibrosis appears to be reversible when mice are exposed to ovalbumin aerosol for periods of up to 4 weeks of exposure, but becomes irreversible after 6 or more weeks of exposure.Received 30 June 2004; returned for revision 24 September 2004; accepted by J.

Adeno-Associated Viral Vector-Mediated Interleukin-10 Prolongs Allograft Survival in a Rat Kidney Transplantation Model

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of immune responses. Hence, we evaluated the effects of a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector 1 (rAAV1) encoding rat IL-10 (rAAV1-IL-10) in a rat model of kidney allograft rejection. Dark Agouti rat kidneys were transplanted into Wistar-Furth (WF) rats 8 weeks following a single intramuscular administration of either rAAV1-IL-10 or rAAV1-green fluorescence protein (GFP). Isografts (WF-WF) served as an additional experimental control. Both allograft and isograft recipients received daily cyclosporine (10 mg/kg) for 14 days after transplantation. Serum IL-10 levels increased at 8, 12 and 16 weeks following vector administration in rAAV1-IL-10-treated animals, but not in rAAV1-GFP and isograft groups. rAAV1-IL-10 treatment resulted in lower BUN and creatinine levels (p<0.001), as well as increased allograft survival rates from 22% to 90%. Allograft histological abnormalities were significantly attenuated in the rAAV1-IL-10-treated rats compared with those of rAAV1-GFP controls. Serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as growth-related oncogene were also significantly higher in the rAAV1-GFP group than in the rAAV1-IL-10 group. These data suggest delivery of IL-10 using a rAAV1 vector improves renal function and prolongs graft survival in a rat model of kidney transplant rejection.     

经尿道前列腺电汽化联合撬拨术治疗高龄前列腺增生症

目的探索微创手术治疗高龄前列腺增生症(benign prostatic hyperlasia,BPH)的安全有效新方法. 方法采用经尿道前列腺电汽化(transurethal vaporiyation of prostate,TUVP)联合撬拨术治疗80岁以上BPH 68例. 结果手术时间30～160 min,平均60 min,切除腺体重量12.5～98.5 g,平均37.6 g,术中出血量30～120 ml,平均65 ml,术后住院5～7 d,平均6 d.术后随访0.5～2年,国际前列腺症状评分由(23.5±4.2)分降至(6.5±2.1)分,生活质量评分由(4.6±0.6)分降至(2.2±0.2)分,最大尿流率由(8.7±4.3)ml/s升至(18.0±2.2)ml/s,剩余尿由(176.0±86.7)ml降至(12.2±2.4)ml.与术前相比,术后6个月均得到显著改善(P＜0.01). 结论 TUVP加撬拨术治疗高龄BPH安全有效,并发症少.

Head and Neck Histoplasmosis—A Nightmare for Clinicians and Pathologists! Experience at a Tertiary Referral Cancer Centre

Histoplasmosis is a rarely reported deep mycotic infection in the Indian context. Oral or oropharyngeal manifestation can occur as an isolated symptom or as part of a disseminated process associated with immunosuppression especially with HIV and diabetes. Five cases of head and neck histoplasmosis accrued over 6 years in a tertiary referral cancer institute were reviewed. All these patients presented clinically as cancer. In three patients, the marked pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia led to a mistaken biopsy diagnosis of malignancy following which definitive surgical treatment was performed. The subsequent excision revealed typical features of histoplasmosis. Isolated oral presentation of histoplasmosis can mimic malignancy both clinically as well as pathologically, leading to potentially disastrous consequences. A high index of suspicion in those with overt or hidden immunosuppression and a deep wedge biopsy to demonstrate the organisms in the subepithelial tissue is recommended. This work has been presented in the “Slide seminar on Infections and Infestations” in the IAP-ID pre conference CME in APCON 2006.     

植物雌激素与前列腺癌及良性前列腺增生

植物雌激素是一类广泛分布于各类植物中的结构与雌激素相似并具有弱雌激素及抗雄激素活性的天然活性物质。PCa与BPH是雄激素依赖性及与年龄相关的疾病,近年来流行病学调查和实验研究均表明植物雌激素对PCa与BPH有防治作用。其机制可能与植物雌激素对性激素的调节、对细胞增生的抑制、诱导细胞凋亡及抗氧化作用等有关。
