巯基化合物对内毒素诱导大鼠枯否细胞NF—kB活性和肿瘤坏死因子释放的影响

目的 观察巯基化合物对内毒素诱导大鼠枯否细胞（KC）NF-kB活性和肿瘤坏死因子-a（TNF-a）释放的影响。方法采用胶原酶灌注和percoll密度梯度离心法分离得到高纯度大鼠KC，在过夜培养后冲洗两遍（不含血清），加入内毒素（LPS）10ng／ml刺激原代培养的KC，观察不同浓度谷胱甘肽乙基酯（GSHEE）及N-乙酰半胱氨酸（NAC）对大鼠KCTNF-a释放和KC内谷胱甘肽（GSH）及NF-kB活性的影响。并观察使用谷胱甘肽合成抑制剂BSO后，对NAC抑制炎症因子的影响，采用凝胶滞留电泳法测NF-kB活性，采用高效液相色谱分析法测GSH水平。结果 LPS诱导KC中GSH水平无变化；GSHEE和NAC可提高KC中GSH水平（P〈0．05），降低NF-kB活性和TNF-a释放（P〈0．05）。NAC与BSO合用时KC中GSH水平无变化，TNF-a释放降低（P〈0．05）。结论 NAC通过抑制KC中NF-kB的激活和TNF-a的释放调节KC功能，但这种抑制作用并非通过增加GSH介导。     

Endometrial cancer patients have a significant risk of harboring isolated tumor cells in histologically negative lymph nodes

In this study, we examine the prevalence of finding isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in negative lymph nodes of endometrial cancer patients using immunohistochemistry. Seventy-six endometrial cancer patients with lymph nodes histologically negative for metastatic disease were examined. Nodal tissue sections were stained with anticytokeratin antibodies AE-1 and CAM 5.2. Nodes with single or groups of cells (two to four cells) < or =0.2 mm and showing cytokeratin reactivity were positive for ITCs. Findings were compared to features of the primary tumor and patient outcome. ITCs were present in 31 of 1712 lymph nodes. Fifteen (19.7%) patients had ITC-positive nodes. ITCs involved only pelvic nodes in nine cases, only para-aortic nodes in five cases, and pelvic and para-aortic in one case. Tumor in adnexa was the only pathologic feature associated with nodal ITCs (P= 0.0485). All 15 patients with nodal ITCs were alive at follow-up. One (6.7%) patient suffered recurrent disease but was alive at last encounter. Disease recurred in 5 (8.8%) of 57 patients without nodal ITCs. Two are alive without disease, two alive with disease, and one died from her cancer. In summary, a significant proportion of endometrial cancer patients have ITCs detected by immunohistochemistry in histologically negative regional lymph nodes.     

庆大霉素对豚鼠前庭上皮IGF-1及其受体表达的影响

目的：研究庆大霉素对豚鼠前庭上皮胰岛素样生长因子-1（insulin-like growth factor-1，IGF-1）及其受体（insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor，EGF-1R）表达的影响，并探讨其生物学特性。方法：采用免疫组织细胞化学方法，以抗IGF-1及IGF-1R抗体为标记物，检测庆大霉素损伤后豚鼠前庭上皮自发修复期IGF-1及IGF-1R的表达变化和分布特点；采用Brdu体内标记和抗Brdu抗体免疫组化染色，检测庆大霉素损伤后豚鼠前庭上皮增殖的变化。结果：IGF-1及IGF-1R在正常成年豚鼠前庭上皮细胞中有低水平表达，庆大霉素损伤后，其表达增多。在1d组IGF-1及IGF-1R表达最强，其后逐渐减少。在正常对照组中无Brdu阳性细胞。各实验组均观察到Brdu阳性细胞，7d组最多。结论：庆大霉素损伤后，豚鼠前庭上皮IGF-1及IGF-1R表达增强，其时程变化与细胞增殖活动密切相关。IGF-1在豚鼠前庭上皮损伤后的细胞增殖中可能起重要信号转导作用。     

扩张型心肌病家兔左室壁复极异质性的改变及意义

目的：观察离体心脏左心室三层心肌的单相动作电位的改变，以探讨扩张型心肌病易发心室颤动与三层心肌跨室壁复极不均一性的关系。方法：用阿霉素制作扩张型心肌病家兔模型，测定其室颤阈值（VFT）以及心外膜、中层心肌和心内膜心肌细胞的单相动作电位复极90％时程（APD90）、跨室壁复极离散度（TDR）。结果：扩张型心肌病VFT明显降低（P＜0．001），三层心肌细胞APD90均明显延长（P＜0．001），中层心肌细胞较心外膜、心内膜下心肌细胞延长更为显著（P＜0．05）；扩张型心肌病跨室壁复极离散度增加（P＜0．01）。结论：中层心肌细胞APD90明显延长、跨室壁复极离散度增加、三层心肌复极不均一性增加可能是扩张型心肌病容易发生心室颤动的重要原因。     

Infectious meningitis with atypical cerebrospinal fluid cells

Cytologic evaluation of the CSF is often difficult when trying to distinguish between truly neoplastic and reactive cells. Several non-neoplastic conditions may be associated with atypical cells in the CSF, a fact the clinician has to consider to avoid inadequate aggressive theraphies. We report here three patients with infectious meningitis (due to Herpes zoster virus in two, and neuroborreliosis in one) and cytologically atypical cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytes. Further characterization showed that the pleocyrosis in these patients was of reactive origin. Cytomorphology is frequently insufficient and histochemical, immuncytochemical and cellular genome analysis techniques may help differentiate atypical reactive cells from neoplastic cells.     

心钠素对心肌血管钙超载的影响

提要本研究是在大鼠VD_3+Nicotine引起的心血管钙超载模型上观察心钠素(ANF)治疗(10ug ·kg~-1/d),对钙超载的影响。结果发现,钙超载组动物主动脉、心肌组织钙含量较对照组分别增高24倍(54.4±2.2vs 2.3±0.04fumol/gww)和9倍(16.9±2.1vs1.8±0.1umol/gww)。ANF治疗能显著抑制钙超载的发生,主动脉和心肌组织钙含量较钙超载组分别降低92％(3.8±0.4 umol/gww)和66％(5.6±0.6umol/gww)。离体滋流的钙超载血管环较对照组对去甲肾上腺素收缩反应增强;对乙酰胆碱舒张反应减弱,对硝普钠舒张反应无影响。ANF能显著改善钙超载所致的血管反应性障碍。实验结果表明,ANF具有显著的防治心血管钙超载的作用。

Effect of UVB 311 nm irradiation on normal human skin

Ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) on the skin induces erythema, inflammation and modifications of the immune system. These changes have been reported after excessive short-term or long-term exposure to broad spectrum UVB. In this study, we examined the effects of local repetitive UVB irradiation of 311 nm wavelength on the skin of seven young volunteers. Skin biopsies were taken before and after UVB irradiation, and we immunohistochemically analyzed the expression of CD1a and HLA-DR antigens of Langerhans cells (LC), the possible infiltration of dermis/epidermis by CD11b macrophages, the modifications or the induction of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) involved in the binding of leukocytes to the endothelial surface and the development of perivascular infiltrates of LFA-1⁺ mononuclear cells. We also determined the expression of substance P receptors (SPR) using biotinylated substance P (SPB). Exposure of UVB 311 nm induced a drastic reduction of CD1a⁺ cells and a moderate increase of HLA-DR⁺ dendritic cells in the epidermis without infiltration by CD11b macrophages. An increase of the binding of SPB to upper layer epidermal cells was noted in five of seven biopsies. In the dermis, vessel-associated ICAM-1 expression increased and an induction of E-selectin occurred on nearly 20 to 40% of endothelial cells, but VCAM-1 expression remained undetectable. The percentage of LFA-1⁺ cells did not change significantly after irradiation. These observations may be compatible with a selective role of UVB 311 nm on the skin immune response.
