慢性强迫游泳应激对大鼠情绪和脑细胞外信号调节激酶磷酸化水平的影响

目的探讨慢性强迫游泳应激对大鼠情绪和脑细胞外信号调节激酶磷酸化(P-ERK1/2)水平的影响。方法将30只SD雄性大鼠随机分为游泳应激组、装置对照组和空白对照组,每组10只。游泳应激组每天接受5min的游泳应激,装置对照组每天接受5min的新异场景应激,均连续14 d,空白对照组不进行任何干预,然后观察大鼠行为(体质量增长量、旷场测验和糖精水溶液偏好测验)。采用免疫印迹法测定大鼠海马和前额叶皮质的P-ERK1/2。结果(1)游泳应激组在应激7d和应激14d的体质量增长[分别为(75±22)g和(70±24)g]均低于空白对照组[分别为(101±35)g和(115+47)g],均P＜0.05。(2)装置对照组的粪便排泄量[(1.4±1.9)粒]多于空白对照组[(0.4±1.0)粒]和游泳应激组[(0.1±0.3)粒],均P＜0.05；而游泳应激组的水平活动距离[(2077±1245)cm]少于空白对照组[(2990±1038)cm]和装置对照组[(3110±1462)cm],均P＜0.05。(3)游泳应激组的糖精水溶液摄入量[(11±6)g]和糖精水溶液摄入量占总液体摄入量的比例[(37±16)％]均低于空白对照组[分别为(15±4)g和(47±15)％],均P＜0.05。(4)游泳应激组在海马[(46±95)％]和前额叶皮质[(65±24)％]的P-ERK2水平均低于空白对照组[分别为(76±30)%和(99±42)%],均P＜0．05。结论慢性强迫游泳应激能诱发大鼠的抑郁情绪,降低P-ERK2在海马和前额叶皮质的水平。     

人脑星形细胞肿瘤中FHIT、PCNA蛋白表达关系的研究

目的研究人脑星形细胞肿瘤中FHIT、PCNA蛋白的差异表达，探讨它们与病理分级之间的关系。方法应用免疫组化SP法检测了50例星形细胞肿瘤中不同级别的FHIT、PCNA蛋白的表达水平，以10例非肿瘤脑组织作对照。结果非肿瘤脑组织FHIT、PCNA蛋白阳性表达率分别为100％，0％，星形细胞肿瘤中FHIT、PCNA蛋白阳性表达率分别为40％，86％；尽管在星形细胞肿瘤中FHIT、PCNA蛋白表达总体差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05），但Ⅲ级与Ⅳ级比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）；经统计学分析FHIT、PCNA蛋白呈显著负相关（P〈0．01）。结论FHIT、PCNA蛋白的表达可能与星形细胞肿瘤的恶性程度有关，星形细胞肿瘤中FHIT、PCNA蛋白表达之间的显著负相关，提示FHIT蛋白可能对细胞增殖具有负性调控作用。     

A presenilin 1 mutation (L420R) in a family with early onset Alzheimer disease,seizures and cotton wool plaques,but not spastic paraparesis

Over 100 mutations in the presenilin‐1 gene (PSEN1) have been shown to result in familial early onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD), but only a relatively few give rise to plaques with an appearance like cotton wool (CWP) and/or spastic paraparesis (SP). A family with EOAD, seizures and CWP was investigated by neuropathological study and DNA sequencing of the PSEN1 gene. Aβ was identified in leptomeningeal vessels and in cerebral plaques. A single point mutation, p.L420R (g.1508T > G) that gives rise to a missense mutation in the eighth transmembrane (TM8) domain of PS1 was identified in two affected members of the family. p.L420R (g.1508T > G) is the mutation responsible for EOAD, seizures and CWP without SP in this family.     

MBP对PBMC产生IFN-γ和NO的影响

目的探讨T细胞非特异性活化在CNS脱髓鞘性疾病中的作用。方法分离实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)易感性BALB/c小鼠外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),采用体外细胞培养方法在体外与碱性髓鞘蛋白(MBP)共培养,测定培养上清液中IFN-γ、NO水平。结果经MBP刺激的PBMC产生IFN-γ[(43.83±6.06)pg/mL]和NO[(180.76±20.75)μmol/L]明显增加,与对照组产生的IFN-γ[(28.52±2.18)pg/mL]和NO[(95.61±13.09)μmol/L]相比差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论在CNS脱髓鞘性疾病发病过程中,活化的T细胞、单核细胞等分泌致炎细胞因子和其他有害物质增多。     

纳洛酮对中重型颅脑损伤病人血浆C-反应蛋白的影响

目的评价纳洛酮对脑外伤的早期疗效及C-反应蛋白(CRP)检测在纳洛酮治疗脑外伤中的应用价值。方法将68例重型脑外伤病人随机分为治疗组30例和对照组38例,对照组给予常规治疗,治疗组在常规治疗的基础上,给予纳洛酮0.4mg·kg-·1d-1治疗。观察病人的GCS评分、颅内压及头颅CT所示脑水肿的变化,并测定治疗前后血清CRP浓度。结果治疗组在提高GCS评分、降低颅内压、控制脑水肿等方面均明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。两组治疗前CRP分别为(73.64±8.64)mg/L(、69.23±7.31)mg/L,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后治疗组为(37.25±11.45)mg/L,对照组为(48.54±12.07)mg/L,治疗组明显低于对照组(P<0.01)。结论①纳洛酮综合治疗脑外伤效果明显。②CRP可作为颅脑外伤病情及纳洛酮治疗效果判断的参考指标。

Clinical significance of urinary white blood cell count and serum C-reactive protein level for detection of non-palpable prostate cancer

AIM: The clinical significance of the urinary white blood cell (U-WBC) count and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level was evaluated in an effort to improve the efficiency of prostate biopsies. METHODS: We enrolled 228 consecutive patients with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ranging from 3.0 to 20.0 ng/mL, normal digital rectal examination findings, and who underwent prostate biopsies between January 2001 and August 2004. Of these, 157 patients had histologically confirmed benign prostatic disease and the remaining 71 patients had prostate cancer. Patients with a pretreatment U-WBC count < or =3 or >3/high power field were defined as non-pyuria and pyuria, respectively. The patients were also separated into two groups based on the serum CRP level prior to biopsy. Several clinical factors were compared among these subgroups. RESULTS: Inflammation was histologically detected at rates of 58.1% and 34.1% in the pyuria and non-pyuria groups, respectively (P = 0.0014). The rates of cancer detection were significantly lower in the pyuria, than in the non-pyuria group (P = 0.0384). The cancer detection rates did not significantly differ according to serum CRP levels prior to biopsy. CONCLUSION: The U-WBC count appears to be a reliable indicator of minute prostatic inflammation. The serum PSA level was elevated in patients with asymptomatic prostatitis. Counting U-WBC is a simple, convenient and non-invasive method that should be valuable part of routine urological examinations.     

非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者血清唾液酸的改变

测定20例NIDDM伴有心脑血管病变的患者、20例单纯NIDDM患者的血清唾液酸（SA）水平，并与20例正常人进行比较。结果发现所有NIDDM患者的血清SA水平均显著增高（P＜0．01），其中伴有心脑血管疾病患者的血清SA水平显著高于单纯NIDDM患者（P＜0．05），同时血清SA水平与血清胰岛素及C肽水平、收好压之间存在相关。提示血清SA水平与NIDDM患者的心脑血管疾病关系密切，可能是心脑血管并发症发生的一个危险因素。
