溴氰菊酯对白纹伊蚊（Aedesalbopictus）C6／36细胞株的细胞遗传学效应

本研究选择１０μｇ／ｍｌ、２０μｇ／ｍｌ、４０μｇ／ｍｌ浓度的溴氰菊酯处理白纹伊蚊Ｃ６／３６细胞，以ＭＭＣ作为阳性对照物，观察溴氰菊酯处理２４ｈ后对Ｃ６／３６细胞染色体畸变率和姐妹染色单体互换（ＳＣＥ）频率的影响。结果显示，三个浓度的溴氰菊酯对Ｃ６／３６细胞染色体畸变率均没有显著影响（Ｐ＜０．０５）；溴氰菊酯浓度在４０μｇ／ｍｌ时可诱导Ｃ６／３６细胞ＳＣＥ频率轻度增高（Ｐ＞０．０５），而溴氰菊酯浓度在１０μｇ／ｍｌ、２０μｇ／ｍｌ时，对Ｃ６／３６细胞ＳＣＥ频率没有诱导作用。表明溴氰菊酯对Ｃ６／３６细胞的遗传学效应较弱     

A HIGH FREQUENCY OF INHERITED DEFICIENCY OF COMPLEMENT COMPONENT C4 IN DARWIN ABORIGINES

Abstract A high frequency of serum complement component C4A deficiency may explain the higher prevalence and greater severity of systemic lupus erythematosus reported in Australian Aborigines. Inherited deficiencies of serum complement components C4A, C4B, and C2 were examined in two Australian Aboriginal populations from Darwin and Alice Springs and compared with the prevalence of complement deficiencies in white Australian blood donors. The frequency of C4A deficiency alleles was 29% in Darwin Aborigines compared with 12% in Alice Springs and 17% in Canberra blood donors. Partial C4B deficiency was also higher in Darwin Aborigines than in the other populations. Inherited deficiency of serum complement component C2 was not observed.

日本血吸虫酚氧化酶的组化定位研究

目的观察酚氧化酶(phenol oxidase,PO)在日本血吸虫成虫的组织学分布.方法酚氧化酶组化方法:将42 d虫龄的日本血吸虫活成虫置含25 mmol/L邻苯二酚的磷酸盐缓冲液(pH 6.8)中,37℃孵育30 min后,转移虫体至载玻片上,吸去虫体表面液体,将其中一部分虫体置Olym-pus显微镜下观察酚氧化酶在虫体的组织学分布.荧光组织化学方法:经上述过程处理后,在另一部分虫体上滴加2滴含0.05%戊巴比妥钠的PBS溶液,然后置Leica荧光显微镜下观察酚氧化酶在虫体的组织学分布.结果酶组织化学方法显示,日本血吸虫酚氧化酶仅分布于雌虫卵黄腺及子宫内虫卵卵壳表面,呈现棕褐色显色反应;雌虫卵巢和雄虫均未发现酚氧化酶活性.然而,荧光组织化学方法显示,酚氧化酶除主要分布于雌虫卵黄腺及子宫内虫卵卵壳表面,呈现强荧光外,还少量分布于雄虫体壁表层,呈现弱荧光反应.结论不仅日本血吸虫雌虫含有酚氧化酶活性,而且雄虫也含酚氧化酶活性,只不过其含量少、活性低.荧光组织化学方法能更灵敏地显示日本血吸虫酚氧化酶活性,更适用于日本血吸虫酚氧化酶的组织学定位.     

早期大剂量维生素C对重症急性胰腺炎大鼠核因子-κB的影响

目的:观察早期大剂量应用抗坏血酸(维生素C)对重症急性胰腺炎(SAP)大鼠的核因子-!B(NF-!B)的影响,研究其作用机制。方法:将72只SAP模型SD大鼠随机分成3组,每组各24只。A组:由大鼠股静脉滴注生理盐水5 ml/kg。B组:大鼠股静脉滴注Vit C 15 mg/kg加生理盐水至5 ml/kg。C组:由大鼠股静脉滴注Vit C 150 mg/kg加生理盐水至5 ml/kg。另取8只SD大鼠作为正常对照组。各组分别于8 h和24 h处死8只大鼠,采血测淀粉酶、脂肪酶、维生素C(PV-C)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、TNF-αI、L-6。大鼠处死时分别取胰头组织3份,一份组织HE染色,行光镜检查,按Kusske的方法,对水肿、炎症、出血和坏死分别评分;一份制成超薄切片,行电镜检查;另一份SP法进行免疫组化染色,检测NF-!B的表达。每组另外8只大鼠观察3 d内存活情况,计算3 d成活率。结果:各组大鼠3 d内的生存率为正常对照组100%(8/8),A组0%(0/8),B组12.5%(1/8),C组50%(4/8),C组的3 d生存率显著高于其他两组(P<0.05)。各组的4项病理学评分均高于正常对照组(P<0.01),C组的4项病理学评分均低于A、B组(P<0.05)。透射电镜检查示C组中分泌颗粒较少,其包膜完整、内质网轻度肿胀、线粒体清晰,未见大片坏死。SAP大鼠体内淀粉酶、脂肪酶、细胞因子TNF-α和IL-6的水平明显增高,血清SOD和P-VC降低,胰腺组织中NF-!B活化阳性胰腺细胞数明显增多。C组的血清淀粉酶和脂肪酶低于A、B组(P<0.05),SOD和P-VC水平高于A、B组(P<0.05),血清TNF-αI、L-6水平低于A、B组(P<0.05),胰腺组织NF-!B活化水平低于A、B组(P<0.05)。结论:早期大剂量应用Vit C有助于及时提高SAP大鼠的P-VC、E-SOD水平,降低体内淀粉酶、脂肪酶、TNF-αI、L-6水平,其作用机制可能与大剂量Vit C抑制SAP大鼠体内NF-!B活化、在整体水平上抑制细胞因子基因表达、有助于机体免受自由基和过量细胞因子的损伤及减轻胰腺组织的病理性改变等因素有关。     

Pharmacokinetics of the 13C labeled anticancer agent temozolomide detected in vivo by selective cross-polarization transfer

The anticancer agent temozolomide labeled with ¹³C (8-Carbamoyl-3-13C-methylimidazo-[5,1-d]-1,2,3,5-tetrazin-4-(3H)-one), was noninvasively detected in subcutaneous RIF-1 tumors by a selective cross polarization ¹³C NMR method, at a field strength of 9.4T. Pharmacokinetics of the drug, at a dose of 150 mg/kg, were determined for intravenous and intraperitoneal modes of administration (three animals per mode). The half-life of the drug in the tumors was approximately 60 min. The uptake and clearance of the drug, however, varied significantly between individual hosts, for both modes of administration. These results demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining pharmacokinetics of anticancer agents for individual tumors without the need for a label that might modify drug activity (e.g., fluorine). The variability of the in vivo measurements, even within the same tumor model, demonstrates the necessity of directly monitoring the tumor to evaluate drug pharmacokinetics.     

Alteration of cytochrome P-450 by prolonged administration of imipramine and/or lithium to rats

Summary The aim of this study was to investigate imipramine-induced alterations of cytochrome P-450 and to determine whether prolonged concomitant administration of imipramine and lithium results in a pharmacokinetic interaction.Male Wistar rats received imipramine (10 mg/kg i. p.) at 12 h intervals or lithium chloride (100 mg/kg in drinking water) or they were treated with the combination of these drugs for 2 weeks. The long term treatment with imipramine produced a very complex alteration of cytochrome P-450: imipramine increased the level of the cytochrome, but it decreased the rate of its own aromatic hydroxylation in position 2. The rate of N-demethylation in the side chain was not changed. Consequently, in the case of both hydroxylation and demethylation, calculated molecular activities were decreased to 48% and 70% respectively. This differential change in activities corresponded well to the observed decrease of absorption in difference spectra (type I) produced in microsomes by imipramine. Carbamazepine-induced type I difference spectra were also decreased by imipramine pretreatment, but to a lesser extent. In contrast, hexobarbital type I binding was increased by imipramine treatment while type II difference spectra produced by metyrapone were not affected. The preliminary SDS-PAGE analysis of cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes of control and imipramine treated rats showed that the investigated antidepressant markedly intensified a protein band at 50.11 kD while bands at 51.28 kD, 56.20 kD and 56.88 kD were less intensive. These results indicate that the alteration of cytochrome P-450 by imipramine treatment is not only of quantitative but also of qualitative character. Lithium alone given to rats affected neither the concentration of cytochrome P-450 in microsomal protein nor the rate of imipramine metabolism in vitro. Lithium given jointly with imipramine reduced imipramine-induced elevation of cytochrome P-450. This, however, did not cause any change in the rate of imipramine metabolism in vitro and accordingly in imipramine pharmacokinetics in vivo. The concentration of lithium in the blood plasma tended to increase by concurrent administration of imipramine.Send offprint requests to K. J. Netter at the above address     

Effect of hepatitis C antibody screening in blood donors on post-transfusion hepatitis in Taiwan

A national screening programme for antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in blood donors in Taiwan began in July 1992 using a second-generation immunoassay. To study the impact of this screening on post-transfusion hepatitis in Taiwan, a prospective study on post-transfusion hepatitis, that was started in 1987, was continued. As of June 1994, 245 patients who received a blood transfusion after July 1992 had completed a follow-up period for more than 6 months post-transfusion. Of them, seven (2.8%) recipients developed acute post-transfusion hepatitis. The hepatitis in six cases could not be attributed to infection by hepatitis A, B, C, D, E viruses or cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The remaining patient seroconverted to both IgG and IgM anti-CMV. All seven patients recovered in 6 months without development of chronicity, and the mean peak alanine aminotransferase level was lower compared with that of the cases before anti-HCV screening (i.e. pre-July 1992). These results indicate that the current anti-HCV screening has effectively interrupted HCV transmission through blood transfusion in Taiwan.
