冠心病中医辨证与载脂蛋白关系的初步研究

对９６例各种类型冠心病患者进行中医辨证分型，检测其血清载脂蛋白ＡⅠ及Ｂ１００（ａｐｏＡⅠ及ａｐｏＢ１００），并设立对照组。结果显示各证型冠心病患者的ａｐｏＡⅠ，ａｐｏＢ１００及ａｐｏＢ１／ａｐｏＡⅠ均有不同程度的改变。在标实证中以痰浊型改变最为明显，其ａｐｏＡⅠ显著降低，ａｐｏＢ１００及ａｐｏＢ１００／ａｐｏＡⅠ显著升高。在本虚证型中以肾虚型改变最为明显、其ａｐｏＡⅠ显著降低。ａｐｏＢ１００／ａｐｏＡⅠ显著升高。这种各证型间的差异无疑对冠心病的中医辨证客观化有一定意义，值得进一步验证和探讨。     

Treatment of established osteoporosis with 1α (OH) vitamin D3 and low dose intermittent elcatonin (eel calcitonin derivative)

In addition to estrogen widely used all over the world for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, calcitonin and vitamin D derivatives are commonly employed to treat established osteoporosis at higher age in Japan. In order to critically assess the usefulness of vitamin D derivatives and calcitonin alone or in combination on the advancement of vertebral deformity at higher age, 32 osteoporotic patients with vertebral deformity with the mean age of 79 were randomly divided into 4 groups with indistinguishable age and severity of the vertebral deformity. Group 1 served as the control without specific medications for osteoporosis. Group 2 was treated with 10 units elcatonin (eel calcitonin derivative) injected intramuscularly twice a week. Group 3 was given 0.75 to 1.5μg/day 1α (OH) vitamin D₃ orally. Group 4 was given a combination of treatments used in Groups 2 and 3. In the lateral X-ray film of the spine taken prior to the test and every 6 months thereafter, the shape of the vertebral body T₈ through L₄ was monitored by measuring the anterior, central and posterior heights. Decrease of the vertebral height ratio; anterior or middle height/posterior or adjacent intact posterior height, by more than 20% of the original value or from above to below 0.80 both appeared to be inhibited during administration of 1α (OH) vitamin D₃. Such effect seems to be augmented by simultaneous administration of elcatonin. Actual decrease of vertebral height ratio values and the per cent fall from the original value significantly less in Groups 3 and 4 than in Group 1. Development of vertebral deformity assessed by the changes of the vertebral height thus appears to decrease during treatment with 1α (OH) vitamin D₃ especially together with calcitonin in established osteoporosis.     

Large French-Canadian family with Lewy body parkinsonism: exclusion of known loci.

The identification of rare, large families with Parkinson's disease (PD) has provided important clues that have contributed to our understanding of this complex disorder. We have identified a large French-Canadian kindred that spans five generations consisting of more than 90 individuals. A total of 65 individuals now have been examined, had venous blood drawn, and DNA extracted. Two-point and multipoint linkage analysis was performed to assess linkage to known PD genes or loci. Within the third and fourth generations of this family there are 10 living, plus 3 deceased members with well-documented levodopa responsive parkinsonism. Autopsy results on 1 member demonstrated the loss of pigmented neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of alpha-synuclein positive Lewy bodies. Four of the PD patients have prominent postural and kinetic tremors that preceded their parkinsonism by up to 10 years. Two other individuals within the family have prominent isolated postural and kinetic tremors without parkinsonism. The alpha-synuclein(4q21.3-23), Parkin(6q25.2-27), PARK3 (2p13), PARK4, and ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase-L1 (4p14-16.3) and PARK6 and PARK7 (1p35-36) loci were excluded in this kindred using closely linked markers. The clinical and pathological features of this family are consistent with the diagnosis of PD. This family further demonstrates the known genetic heterogeneity in PD and is large enough that a genome-wide screen has been undertaken in an effort to identify a novel PD gene.     

Selective drop-out in successive in-vitro fertilization attempts: the pendulum danger.

Success rates from in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in the long term are dependent on selection procedures with regard to continuation into further IVF episodes. Publications on success rates in successive episodes will give incentives to adapt selection criteria, but if these publications do not deal explicitly with patient selection, the adaptations might change their direction every time: the pendulum danger.

Recombinant human IL-16 inhibits HIV-1 replication and protects against activation-induced cell death (AICD)

The chemoattractant cytokine IL-16 has been reported to suppress lymphocyte activation and to inhibit HIV-1 replication in acutely infected T cells. We have cloned and expressed human IL-16 in Escherichia coli and investigated whether the recombinant protein could regulate the level of lymphocyte apoptosis from HIV-1-infected subjects. After purification and refolding, only 2–10% of the recombinant cytokine was present in a biologically active homotetrameric form. This could explain the need for high concentrations of the bacterially derived IL-16 to induce significant inhibition of HIV-1 replication. Addition of IL-16 to unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures from HIV-1-infected subjects did not modify the observed level of spontaneous lymphocyte apoptosis. In contrast, IL-16 added to PBMC cultures stimulated with anti-CD3, anti-CD95 or dexamethasone reduced significantly the percentage of lymphocytes undergoing AICD. This effect was found to correlate with the ability of the cytokine to decrease CD95 expression on activated CD4⁺ T cells. Comparative studies on PBMC from healthy individuals indicated that the regulation of apoptosis levels by IL-16 is a complex phenomenon and could depend on the nature of the activator used and/or the immune status of lymphocytes tested. The outcome of CD4 cross-linking on T cells by various ligands is discussed in the context of the observed beneficial activities of IL-16 and its potential role in the treatment of HIV disease.     

亚硝酸钠与AFB1相互作用对遗传物质影响的实验研究

以正常人外周血淋巴细胞的ＳＣＥ率作为细胞遗传学指标，研究了Ｎａ＿２ＳｅＯ＿３与ＡＦＢ＿１相互作用对细胞遗传物质的影响。结果表明，一定浓度的Ｎａ＿２ＳｅＯ＿３（１０￣（－５）ｍｏｌ）对ＡＦＢ＿１所诱发的ＳＣＥ有明显的抑制作用，但当浓度达到１０￣（－２）ｍｏｌ时，细胞增殖受到抑制，到１０￣（－１）ｍｏｌ时细胞出现毒性现象。提示Ｎａ＿２ＳｅＯ＿３具有抑变和细胞毒性双相作用。所以在Ｎａ＿２ＳｅＯ＿３与ＡＦＢ＿１相互作用的ＳＣＥ实验中应避免Ｎａ＿２ＳｅＯ＿３的浓度过高而损伤培养的细胞。
