维生素K对HBsAg与抗HBS结合的抑制作用

在ＲＰＨＩ试验中，将ＶｉｔＫ１或ＶｉｔＫ３预先与ＨＢｓＡｇ阳性血清作用后，再加抗ＨＢｓ单克隆抗体诊断红细胞，可见红细胞呈圆点状沉淀，提示ＨＢＳＡｇ与抗ＨＢｓ的结合受到抑制，该抑制作用呈浓度依赖性．ＲＰＨＩ试验后的抗ＨＢｓ单克隆抗体诊断红细胞，经洗涤后再与ＨＢｓＡｇ阳性血清作用，仍出现明显凝集，表明ＶｉｔＫ对ＨＢｓＡｇ与抗ＨＢｓ结合的抑制作用不是通过影响抗ＨＢｓ而产生的。     

产后妇女与正常妇女血清中Na+、K+、CL-及CO2结合力的含量比较

探讨产妇分娩后血清中Na+、K+、CL-及CO2结合力的含量,对于了解产妇分娩后血液中渗透压平衡及酸碱平衡有着重要的临床意义.笔者对118例正常分娩后产妇和119例非妊娠妇女进行了血清中Na+、K+、CL-及CO2结合力的检测.结果显示,正常分娩后产妇血清中Na+、K+、CL-及CO2结合力平均值明显低于正常非妊娠妇女的平均值,而CL的含量与非妊娠妇女比较则无显著性差异.     

Expression and activation of 15-lipoxygenase pathway in severe asthma: relationship to eosinophilic phenotype and collagen deposition

BACKGROUND: Although 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE), a product of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO), may be involved in mild to moderate asthma, little is known about its potential roles in severe asthma. OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to evaluate 15(S)-HETE levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from severe asthmatics with and without airway eosinophils and from the control groups. In addition, 15-LO protein expression was examined in endobronchial biopsy, while its expression and activation were evaluated in BAL cells. RESULTS: While 15(S)-HETE levels in BALF were significantly higher in all severe asthmatics than normal subjects, severe asthmatics with airway eosinophils had the highest levels compared with mild, moderate asthmatics and normal subjects. 15(S)-HETE levels were associated with tissue eosinophil numbers, sub-basement membrane thickness and BALF tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 levels, and were accompanied by increased 15-LO expression in bronchial epithelium. In addition, activation of 15-LO was suggested by the increased proportion of 15-LO in the cytoplasmic membrane of alveolar macrophages from severe asthmatics. CONCLUSION: The data suggest that severe asthmatics with persistent airway eosinophils manifest high levels of 15(S)-HETE in BALF, which may be associated with airway fibrosis. It is likely that 15-LO expression and activation by airway cells explain the increased 15(S)-HETE levels.

三氧化二砷对人脐静脉内皮细胞中蛋白激酶C活性和白细胞介素-15分泌、表达的影响及其临床意义

目的 通过研究三氧化二砷(As2O3)对人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)中蛋白激酶C(PKC)活性和白细胞介素(IL)-15表达和分泌的影响,探讨内皮细胞在As2O3抑制白血病或肿瘤中的作用。方法用不同浓度的As2O3作用于培养的HUVEC细胞,测定其生长情况、胞膜和胞浆PKC活性以及对IL-15基因表达和分泌的影响。结果0.25 μmol／L~50 μmol／L的.As2O3均抑制HUVEC细胞的增殖(P<0.01),随着药物浓度或作用时间的增加,细胞逐渐死亡。在As2O3作用细胞4 h测定胞浆和胞膜的PKC活性,两者在不同浓度作用下活性水平均得到提升(P<0.01),但胞膜的活性上升幅度更大。在As2O3的测定浓度范围内,PKC的活性水平与As2O3的浓度呈正相关。1、5、16 μmol／L的As2O3导致IL-15基因表达和分泌水平的增加(P<0.01),并呈浓度依赖性关系。结论As2O3可能是通过激活内皮细胞的PKC活性,促进IL-15或其他细胞因子的分泌,来抑制白血病或肿瘤发展的。

对广西武鸣华侨农场4158人进行基线普查,410人进行膳食调查和作8小时夜尿电解质测定,并将高血压低发区广西的资料与高发区的北京作对比.结果显示,体重指数高是高血压一个重要的危险因素,而体重过重又与膳食中摄入碳水化合物和总热量大有关.另一主要的危险因素是钠,膳食中摄入钠高,尿Na和Na/K比值高者,血压水平和高血压的患病率亦高.     

Saturation analysis of specific 11C Ro 15-1788 binding to the human neocortex using positron emission tomography

The ¹¹C-labelled benzodiazepine antagonist Ro 15–1788 (flumazenil) and positron emission tomography (PET) were used to determine quantitative characteristics of benzodiazepine receptor binding in the neocortex of healthy young men. Saturating doses of unlabelled flumazenil administered i.v., before or together with the ligand-reduced ¹¹C-flumazenil accumulation in the neocortex by about 90 per cent. Saturating doses of unlabelled flumazenil had little effect on the accumulation of radioactivity in the benzodiazepine receptor-poor regions such as pons or white matter. By giving graded doses of unlabelled flumazenil together with the tracer, saturation isotherms were obtained allowing the calculation of receptor density (B_max) and equilibrium dissociation constant (K_d) values on the basis of certain assumptions B_max values were in the order of 90 pmol/g and K_d values in the order of 10 nM in the neocortex. Scatchard and Hill plots of the radioactivity data indicated that ¹¹C-flumazenil binds to saturable sites of a homogeneous population. The data indicate that intravenous doses of 1 or 2 mg flumazenil result in a benzodiazepine receptor occupancy of about 50 per cent. The method described should be useful for studying regional differences in benzodiazepine receptor characteristics in the living human brain in healthy subjects and neuropsychiatric disorders, and also in relation to treatment with drugs interacting with benzodiazepine receptors.     

Correlations between bone mineral density and demographic, lifestyle, and biochemical variables in community-dwelling Japanese women 69 years of age and over

Introduction A few epidemiologic studies have comprehensively attempted to identify risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly Asian women. The purpose of this study was to identify demographic, lifestyle, and biochemical factors correlated with BMD in elderly Japanese women 69 years of age and over.Methods The study design was cross-sectional. The subjects were 583 ambulatory women aged 69 years and over, and their average age was 74.3 (SD 4.4) years. Predictor variables were age, reproductive history, anthropometric indices, grip strength, calcium intake, lifestyle information, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)₂D), osteocalcin (OC), and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) values. The outcome variable was forearm BMD measured with a DTX-200 osteometer.Results Simple linear regression analyses showed that BMD was significantly positively associated with body height, weight, body mass index, grip strength, serum albumin concentration, and “housework,” and negatively associated with age, years since menopause, age at menarche, number of children, serum 1,25(OH)₂D concentration, serum OC concentration, and ucOC concentration. The stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that weight (β=0.00316, SE=0.00028, R²=0.180), age (β=−0.00321, SE=0.00050, R²=0.108), log-transformed serum OC (β=−0.0445, SE=0.0064, R²=0.053), log-transformed serum 1,25(OH)₂D (β=−0.0401, SE=0.0074, R²=0.050), “farmwork” (β=0.00904, SE=0.00426, R²=0.005), and serum 25(OH)D concentration (β=0.000281, SE=0.000120, R²=0.003) were significantly associated with BMD.Conclusion It was concluded that body weight is a major predictor of forearm BMD among the factors measured in this study in independent Japanese women 69 years of age and over and that serum 1,25(OH)₂D concentration may be associated with cortical BMD. Maintenance of body weight is very important for maintaining BMD in this population, unless a large weight aggravates obesity-related diseases. A follow-up study is needed to confirm these findings.
