骨质疏松症治疗药物研究进展

骨质疏松症是一种与增龄相关的代谢性骨病,主要是由成骨细胞介导的骨形成与破骨细胞介导的骨吸收之间的失衡所致。随着骨质疏松症患病率的逐年递增,如何防治骨质疏松已经成为我国重要公共健康问题。目前骨质疏松症治疗药物主要可分为促进骨形成剂和抑制骨吸收剂。本文主要就骨质疏松症治疗药物的研究进展作一综述,为临床治疗骨质疏松症提供理论基础。     

基于coif5小波的多普勒胎心音信号提取算法的研究

胎心率监护是围产期胎儿监护的关键技术指标，超声多普勒测量胎心率是最常用的无创方法。由于胎心多普勒信号具有信噪比低、非平稳的随机性特点，提出基于coif5小波，结合双重阈值方法的胎心音信号提取算法。实验表明，该算法有效地解决了由于胎心率加倍、减半所引起的胎心率曲线翻转问题，提高了多普勒胎心音信号提取的准确性。     

FT-2 antigen for distinguishing lymphocyte subpopulations in the developing thymus

The surface phenotypes of lymphoid cells in the developing embryonic thymus were characterized by using monoclonal antibodies. FT-2 antigen thus defined was predominantly expressed on thymocytes in the earlier embryonic stages in all the inbred mouse strains tested. The immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase tests indicated that, like FT-1 antigen, the proportion of FT-2+ fetal thymocytes rapidly decreased with increase in gestation time, and these cells disappeared by day 19 of gestation. The treatment of fetal thymocytes with anti-FT-1 plus complement eliminated not only FT-1+, but also FT-2+ cells, whereas the treatment with anti-FT-2 failed to eliminate approximately 40% of FT-1+ cells, suggesting that embryonic thymocytes can be provisionally divided into at least three subpopulations, FT-1+2+, FT-1+2- and FT-1-2-.     

Human Peripheral Eosinophils with Receptors for IgM: Demonstration and Ultrastructural Morphology

Receptors for IgM were detected on peripheral blood human eosinophils by a rosette technique with ox red blood cells coated with the IgM fraction of the specific immunserum. Between 14 % and 43 % (mean 27 %) FcµR positive cells were found after an overnight incubation period at 37°C by using this technique. The specificity of the receptors for IgM was assessed by studying the inhibitory capacity of purified human IgM in the rosette assay. From an ultrastructural point of view, the EA^M rosette-forming cells are mature eosinophlic granulocytes characterized by a nucleus with a variable number of lobes and a certain number of «first type» granules partially or totally devoid of their content.     

Modulation of natural killing by tumor promoters: the regulatory influence of adherent cells varies with the type of target cell

We have analyzed the regulatory effects of two classes of tumor promoters, phorbol diesters and indole alkaloids, on human natural killer (NK) cell activity in vitro. In accordance with previous reports, we found that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibited natural killing against K 562 targets by unseparated mononuclear cells. Here, suppression of NK required the presence of adherent cells (macrophages). Contrary to the results obtained with K 562, tumor promoter-induced suppression of NK activity tested against U 937, another cell line of known NK susceptibility, was independent of the presence of adherent cells. Thus, NK cytotoxicity of effector cells rigorously depleted of adherent and Ia-positive cells was still inhibited when assayed against U 937, while it was generally enhanced when tested against K 562. Identical results were obtained with teleocidin and dihydroteleocidin B, two members of the recently discovered indole alkaloid class of tumor promoters. Therefore, we demonstrate that the regulatory effect of tumor promoters on human NK activity (suppression or stimulation) is determined not only by macrophages at the effector cell level but also by the type of target cell under study.     

基于免疫磁珠法的不同筛选方案对胎儿有核红细胞富集效果的比较

目的：将密度梯度离心(density gradient centrifugation,DGC)与免疫磁珠法(magnetic-activated cell sorting,MACS)相结合,应用4种不同的筛选方案,对脐血中的胎儿有核红细胞(fetal nucleated red blood cells,FNRBC)进行分离,评估不同策略富集FNRBC的效果。方法：对10例脐血标本(12 mL/例)按4种不同方案进行筛选：DGC;DGC⁺MACS阴性筛选(CD45^-);DGC⁺MACS阳性筛选(CD71⁺);DGC⁺MACS阴性/阳性筛选(CD45-/CD71⁺)。通过细胞计数板计数,K-B染色后显微镜下人工FNRBC计数,从获得总细胞量、FNRBC量和FNRBC比例经t检验后评估不同方案富集FNRBC的效果。结果：(1)与其他3组相比,DGC方案可获得的总细胞量(0.95×10⁷/mL)最多,FNRBC数量(39.87/mL)最多,F...     

胎儿卵巢组织培养与冷冻保存

对人胎儿卵巢的组织培养、冷冻保存后再复苏培养,以观察胎儿卵巢培养前后的形态学变化、培养时雌激素产生的能力以及冷冻保存对胎儿卵巢形态发育及内分泌功能的影响。结果表明:在体外培养条件下,胎儿卵巢的卵泡不仅可以维持培养前的良好形态,而且能够进一步发育成熟;培养时具有雌二醇分泌能力。冷冻保存对胎儿卵巢的卵泡发育和雌二醇分泌功能没有明显影响。提示:将中期引产胎儿卵巢冻存起来,建立“胎儿卵巢库”,可解决临床卵巢移植的供需矛盾。
