五型病毒性肝炎的暴露因素与临床表现的比较

比较急性病毒性肝炎患者感染打危险因素，同时比较五型肝炎的症状和体征。连续收集急性病毒性肝炎患者血清２９３份，用ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测了五型肝炎病毒的病原学指标，并进行了流赞美同学调查。暴露因素：丙肝的肠道外暴露外明显多于甲肝；甲肝和戊肝有较高的“甲肝”患者接触史；乙肝，丙肝和丁肝有高的“乙肝”接触史，与甲肝，戊肝相比差异显著。     

Renal regulation of salt balance: a primer for non-purists

The greater than 40-fold range of voluntary salt intake in humans requires corresponding adjustments in renal excretion to maintain balance. Although many mechanisms have been implicated in the regulation of salt output by the kidney, surprisingly little consideration has been given to their quantitative significance and possible interaction. This survey summarizes the effects of changes in glomerular filtration rate, proximal peritubular physical factors, and plasma concentrations of aldosterone and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), singly and in combination, on the level of salt excretion. Contrary to expectation, even large increases in filtration or decreases in proximal reabsorption have only minor natriuretic effects, due to constancy of fractional reabsorption in downstream nephron segments. Lack of aldosterone release increases salt excretion as much or more than the upstream mechanisms, whereas ANF-induced inhibition of reabsorption in the medullary collccting duct has the largest effect. It may be concluded, therefore, that the potency of these natriuretic factors increases with distance along the nephron, even though each is operating on a progressively small tubular load. However, none of the mechanisms, in isolation, is sufficient to explain salt balance over the range of voluntary intake. Combination of factors demonstrates synergism rather than simple additivity, resulting in more than enough reserve capacity for salt excretion.

Effects of Pyridoxalated Hemoglobin Polyoxyethylene Conjugate and Stroma-free Hemoglobin on Renal Vascular Responsiveness to Vasoactive Substances in Isolated Perfused Rat Kidney

Abstract: The effects of pyridoxalated hemoglobin polyoxyethylene conjugate (PHP) and stroma-free hemoglobin (SFH) on vascular responsiveness to various vasoactive substances were examined in isolated perfused rat kidneys. The kidneys isolated from rats were perfused with 6% PHP, 6% SFH, and 6% hydroxyethylstarch (HES) solution at a constant flow rate. Vascular responsiveness to acetylcholine (ACh), nitroglycerin (NG), norepinephrine (NE), and angiotensin-II (ANG-II) was examined by measuring the perfusion pressure (PP). Effects of inhibition of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) by N^G-monomethyl L-arginine (L-NMMA) on NE-induced and ANG-II-induced renal vascular responses were examined. ACh and NG induced a dose-dependent decrease in perfusion pressure (PP) in all groups. NE and ANG-II induced an increase in PP in all groups, but NE-induced and ANG-II-induced responses in the PHP-perfused and SFH-perfused groups were significantly larger than those in the HES-perfused group. L-NMMA did not alter vascular responsiveness to NE and ANG-II. These results indicate that PHP and SFH do not inhibit EDRF induced by ACh, but hemoglobin moiety per se does augment the vascular responsiveness to NE and ANG-II in the isolated perfused rat kidney.     

Association of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression with Tumor Angiogenesis and with Early Relapse in Primary Breast Cancer

Angiogenesis is an independent prognostic indicator in breast cancer. In this report, the relationship between expression of vascular endothclial growth factor (VEGF; a selective mitogen for endothelial cells) and the microvessel density was examined in 103 primary breast cancers. The expression of VEGF was evaluated by immunocytochemical staining using anti-VEGF antibody. The microvessel density, which was determined by immunostaining for factor VIII antigen, in VEGF-rich tumors was clearly higher than that in VEGF-poor tumors ( P <0.01). There was a good correlation between VEGF expression and the increment of microvessel density. Furthermore, postoperative survey demonstrated that the relapse-free survival rate of VEGF-rich tumors was significantly worse than that of VEGF-poor tumors. It was suggested that the expression of VEGF is closely associated with the promotion of angiogenesis and with early relapse in primary breast cancer.
