胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白、内毒素与肝纤维化

目前胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白（insulin—like growth—factor—binding protein，IGFBPs）及其超家族功能的研究是国际上的热点。有研究表明IGFBPs与肝纤维化的发生有关，而临床检测和动物实验表明肠源性内毒素血症与肝纤维化的发生发展有着密切关系，同时有研究显示内毒素可诱导循环中某些IGFBPs和其肝脏基因的表达发生变化。     

不同输血方式对肺鳞癌患者围术期TNF—α和IL—lO的影响

[目的]探讨同种输血和自体输血对肺鳞癌患者围术期肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白细胞介素—10(IL—10)的影响和相互关系。[方法]2001年1月至2003年1月对31例肺鳞癌患者行肺癌根治术，将其分为两组，同种输血组(A组)17例，自体输血组14例(B组)。测定两组围术期血清中TNF-α和IL—10的浓度。[结果]A组输血后d1与输血前相比血清中TNF-α、IL-10浓度增高，以IL—10变化尤为明显，输血后d5TNF-α降低并接近输血前的水平，明显低于B组，IL—10仍明显高于输血前的水平。B组中不同时问IL—10无显著变化，TNF-α于ds明显高于输血前。[结论]肺鳞癌患者围术期同种输血后血清中TNF-α降低与IL—10升高有关，IL—10升高可能是同种输血后免疫抑制的重要原因。自体输血可减轻或去除这一作用。

Low level of response to alcohol as associated with serotonin transporter genotype and high alcohol intake in adolescents.

BACKGROUND: A low level of response to alcohol has been associated with both the genetic constitution of the regulatory region (SLC6A4) of the human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) transporter (5-HTT) and with future alcohol intake and an increased risk for alcoholism. To date, all studies of relevant polymorphisms have been carried out in populations in the United States. METHODS: Data were extracted from a subset (n = 243) of a cohort of children who have been observed since birth through evaluation of the family history of alcoholism and psychosocial risk influences. At age 16 years, the response to alcohol was assessed with the Self-Rating of the Effects of Alcohol (SRE) questionnaire, and the average amount of alcohol intake per month was assessed during the prior 6 months. Additional variables that were measured included the 5-HTT genotype, externalizing behavior, and sociodemographic variables, such as gender and age. RESULTS: The level of response to alcohol was significantly lower among carriers of two long alleles of the 5-HTT regulatory region compared with carriers of one or two short alleles (Mann-Whitney U = 5225.0, p = .005). In a multiple regression analysis, the level of response to alcohol and externalizing behavior but not psychosocial factors significantly predicted the average amount of alcohol intake per month. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that, independent of the assessed psychosocial variables, the 5-HTT genotype correlated with the level of response to alcohol and predicted alcohol intake among 16-year-old adolescents.

Relationship between insulin-like growth factor I, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and proresorptive cytokines and bone density in cystic fibrosis

Introduction Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are known to be at risk for early osteoporosis, and the mechanisms that mediate bone loss are still being delineated. The aim of the present investigation was to investigate if a correlation exists in these patients between skeletal measurements by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and two anabolic factors, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and proresorptive factors such as the cytokines interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin-6. Methods We studied 32 outpatients (18 females; mean age: 26.2 ± 7.9 years) at a tertiary care medical center. The subjects had venous samples obtained, underwent anthropometric and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements, and completed a health survey. Serum IGF-I concentrations were below the age-adjusted mean in 78% of the participants, and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) concentrations were low in 72%. Serum concentrations of all cytokines were on the low side of normal; nonetheless, there was a modest inverse correlation between IL-1β and BMD at all sites. Results In univariate analyses, IGF-I and DHEAS were significant correlates of BMD or bone mineral content. In final multivariate models controlling for anthropometric and other variables of relevance to bone density, only IGF-I was identified as a significant independent skeletal predictor. While alterations in DHEAS, IGF-I, and specific cytokines may contribute to skeletal deficits in patients with CF, of these factors a low IGF-I concentration appears to be most strongly correlated with BMD. Conclusions These findings may have therapeutic implications for enhancing bone density in these patients.
