全反式维甲酸对防治经皮冠脉介入治疗后再狭窄的临床疗效观察

目的观察不同剂量全反式维甲酸（ATRA）对防治经皮冠脉介入治疗（PCI）后再狭窄（Rs）的疗效。方法2004年7月至2005年9月连续入院行PCI的冠心病300例。随机分为全反式维甲酸正常剂量组（10mgt．i．d p．o，甲组）、强化剂量组（20mgt．i．d p．o，乙组）、对照组（丙组）。6个月后分别比较甲乙丙三组的再狭窄率、心脏事件发生率和心功能。结果300例患者中男性228例、女性72例。住院期间甲乙丙三组比较：心绞痛9％VS8％VS9％；再次急性心肌梗死（AMI）O％VS2％VS1％；再次缺血性血运重建（TVR）3％VS2％VS3％；心源性死亡4％VS6％VS4％，P〉0．05，无显著统计学差异。随访期间三组比较：心绞痛12％VS9％VS20％；再次AMII％VSO％VS1％；心源性死亡2％VS4％VS4％，P〉0．05，无显著统计学差异；再狭窄率3／33（9．1％）VS2／30（6．7％）VS12／32（37．5％）；TVR3％VS2％VS11％，P〈0．05，有显著统计学差异。结论常规剂量ATRA防治再狭窄安全有效。     

Expression of the β‐adhesin part of HRgpA in Sprague Dawley rats induces a specific antibody response

The β‐adhesin part of the Porphyromonas gingivalis W50 (ATCC 53978) protease HRgpA was cloned in an eukaryotic expression vector and expressed in COS‐7 cells. The monoclonal antibody MAb (61BG1.3), specific for the hemagglutinating domain of β‐adhesin, recognized the expressed β‐adhesin in the transfected cells both by immunoblot and immunofluorescence. Sprague Dawley rats were immunized intramuscularly with β‐adhesin encoding expression plasmid and expression plasmid without β‐adhesin insert. Skeletal muscle tissue at the site of immunization in the β‐adhesin immunized animals was shown to express this protein. The immunization induced a β‐adhesin‐specific antibody response. Sera from the immunized animals were tested for hemagglutination inhibiting activity. Due to high natural inhibiting activity in all rat sera tested, no increased hemagglutination inhibition was detected in sera from the β‐adhesin immunized animals.     

胃液乳酸定量测定对中晚期胃癌的意义

用比色法测定148例胃癌和非胃癌患者胃液乳酸含量,包括正常对照36例。胃癌患者胃液乳酸含量明显增高,与胃良性疾病及正常人比较,差异非常显著(p<0.001),重叠甚少,有助于初步鉴别胃良性和恶性疾病。     

维生素A酸对小鼠囊胚细胞凋亡的影响

目的:探讨全反式维生素A酸(ATRA)对体外培养小鼠囊胚中内细胞群(ICM)和滋养层(TE)细胞凋亡的影响。方法:获取妊娠3.5d小鼠囊胚,分别培养在含0μmol/l、1μmol/l和10μmol/l的ATRA的M199培养基中24h,用带有荧光(FITC)标记的原位末端标记(TUNEL)检测法,观察ATRA对小鼠囊胚细胞凋亡的效应。结果:ATRA可诱导囊胚细胞凋亡,并增强小鼠囊胚Fas蛋白表达。结论:维生素A酸对小鼠胚胎的发育具有细胞毒性作用。

New scoring matrix for amino acid residue exchanges based on residue characteristic physical parameters

Based on residue characteristic physical parameters, a new scoring matrix, called EMPAR, for amino acid exchanges in proteins was obtained. When comparing protein sequences for detecting homologies, the use of this matrix in place of the Dayhoff log-odds matrix yields results that reflect the topological similarities in the proteins. The use of EMPAR is equivalent to the parametric correlation coefficient approach of Ooi and his colleagues. This matrix correlates at 0.63 with the Dayhoff matrix.     

Studies on Toxicity of Nitroquine-Dapsone Compound and Therapeutic Effects of Folic or Folinic Acid on Toxicated Animals

The toxic effects of nitroquine-dapsone compound(NQD)in mice and dogs were studied.The therapeutic index of NQDin mice is 1911,the greatest among the 6 antimalarials tested.Thetoxic effects of NQD(50 mg/kg/day for 3 days per os)and nitro-quine in dogs were manifested by injuries on the adrenal cortexand intestinal epithelium.When folic acid(4 mg/kg/day for 4 days)or calcium leucovorinum(0.3 mg/kg/day for 4 days)were usedconcomitantly with NQD,the death rate and the incidence of dia-rrhea in the toxicated dogs were greatly reduced,the injury on theintestinal epithelium was much milder,and the goblet cells weremuch more numerous than those without treatment.The results suggestthat folic acid and calcium leucovorinum can protect the undifferen-tiated cells in the intestinal crypts from being injured by NQD.
