聚合酶链反应检测患儿尿标本中的巨细胞病毒DNA

本文建立了聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)方法,探讨了该方法的某些实验条件。用PCR检测24例临床患儿尿标本。证明PCR方法特异、敏感、简便而快速。同科不同属病毒如HSV、EBV等以及人源正常细胞均无假阳性结果:最小检出量可达0.1fg DNA,相当于6个基因拷贝;用水浴箱手控时间即可进行PCR循环,30次循环仅需97min30s;PCR和DNA杂交检测尿标本中HCMV阳性例数分别为20和14例。该结果证明HCMV感染儿童的广泛性和严重性,初步表明儿童肾病综合症与HCMV有关。     

加强行业管理规范人体器官移植技术

人体器官移植技术历经近半个世纪的发展历程．在上个世纪70年代我国逐步开展对肝脏、心脏和肾脏等器官移植技术的研究工作。近5年来，随着国际医学研究交流频繁，国内一些大型医疗机构加大了对器官移植技术上的投入．使人体器官移植技术发展迅猛。但同时也伴随着一些医疗费用过高、买卖供体等问题的出现。因此，如何规范人体器官移植技术．是当前的一个重要研究课题。     

Aspart与正规人胰岛素应用胰岛素泵控制血糖的疗效比较

选择21例应用预混人胰岛素Novolin 30R治疗血糖控制欠佳的1型和2型糖尿病患者，用胰岛素泵交叉应用相同剂量的速效人胰岛素类似物Aspart与正规人胰岛素NovolinR控制高血糖，比较两种药物应用期间全天毛细血管血糖谱，发现Aspart在控制空腹血糖、餐后血糖及全天平均血糖均较后者疗效为佳。     

Poor association between allergen-specific serum immunoglobulin E levels, skin sensitivity and basophil degranulation: a study with recombinant birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 and an immunoglobulin E detection system measuring immunoglobulin E capable of binding to FcɛRI

BACKGROUND: Results from several studies indicate that the magnitude of immediate symptoms of type I allergy caused by allergen-induced cross-linking of high-affinity Fc epsilon receptors on effector cells (mast cells and basophils) is not always associated with allergen-specific IgE levels. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of results from intradermal skin testing, basophil histamine release and allergen-specific IgE, IgG1-4, IgA and IgM antibody levels in a clinical study performed in birch pollen-allergic patients (n = 18). METHODS: rBet v 1-specific IgEs were measured by quantitative CAP measurements and by using purified Fc epsilon RI-derived alpha-chain to quantify IgE capable of binding to effector cells. Bet v 1-specific IgG subclasses, IgA and IgM levels were measured by ELISA, and basophil histamine release was determined in whole blood samples. Intradermal skin testing was performed with the end-point titration method. RESULTS: Our study demonstrates on the molecular level that the concentrations of allergen-specific IgE antibodies capable of binding to Fc epsilon RI and biological sensitivities are not necessarily associated. A moderate association was found between cutaneous and basophil sensitivity. CONCLUSION: Our results highlight the quantitative discrepancies and limitations of the present diagnostic tools in allergy, even when using a single allergenic molecule. The quantity of allergen-specific serum IgE is only one component of far more complex cellular systems (i.e. basophil-based tests, skin tests) used as indirect diagnostic tests for IgE-mediated allergic sensitivity.     

人胎视网膜发生的光镜和电镜观察

本文在光镜下观察40例人胎视网膜的发生,在电镜下观察15例人胎视网膜视细胞、双极细胞、节细胞的发育。结果表明:胚胎第9周时神经上皮可分内、外成神经细胞层。第10周时内、外成神经细胞层之间的Chievitz带消失;第11周时节细胞从内成神经细胞层内迁;第13周节细胞与内成神经细胞之间出现内网层;第16周始双极细胞从外成神经细胞层中内迁形成外网层和内核层。第20周后视网膜各层形成。而视细胞、双极细胞、节细胞的超微结构于胎儿8个月后才发育完善。其结构与成人基本相同。     

中国古代人体寄生虫病学要览

我国早在上古时期，先民们就意识到自然界的毒虫对人的侵害。殷商甲骨文出现“蛊”字，说明于三千多年前已发现了人体内寄生之虫。战国秦汉以来的许多古医籍记载了多种寄生虫病，涉及到当代人体寄生虫学所列的蠕虫病、原虫病和昆虫病，有的记载还属于世界首创。所载防治寄生虫病的方法和药物，于今仍有实际意义，应进一步深入发掘和利用。     

Is cholic acid responsible for embryo-toxicity of the post-receptive uterine environment?

HPLC analysis of the embryo-toxic fraction of human uterinefluid, collected between the 22nd and 25th days of the menstrualcycle, revealed the presence of cholic acid at high concentrations.It is suggested that cholic acid could be responsible for theembryo-toxicity of the uterine environment, which follows thereceptive period for implantation.
