小径微孔聚氨酯人工血管的顺应性

由激光测微器、压力传感器、A／D卡、微电脑和循环回路等组成的装置测定了小径人工血管的径向顺应性，由微注射器、压力传感器等组成的装置测定了体积顺应性，轴向顺应性由体积顺应性和径向顺应性计算出。体积顺应性，径向顺应性和轴向顺应性都随血管材料弹性的增大、盐／胶比的增加（孔隙率）和浸渍层数（血管壁厚度）的减小而增大。PU血管的外周模量与径向模量分别由径向顺应性。轴向顺应性计算，外周模量与径向模量之比值接近1，即两模量大小与变形方向无关。外周模量与径向模量随血管材料弹性和盐／胶比增加而变小。但管壁厚度对其的影响不大。通过合理选择更具弹性的PU材料（Chro佳，PCU1500次之），最佳盐／胶比例（6：1）以及控制浸渍层数（4～6层），可以制备出顺应性接近天然血管的小径人工血管。

On the Retention of the Fetus as a Homograft

ABSTRACT: The conceptus is tolerated in spite of the antigenic dissimilarities between mother and fetus. A new hypothesis to account for this phenomenon is put forward. It is suggested that the vessels within the trophoblastic villi—analogous to the vessels of malignant tumors—are permeable to humoral substances but impervious to cellular elements. This property allows for the exchange of nutrients and metabolites but, at the same time, precludes the passage of leukocytes. The block to diapedesis is believed to be due to the deposition of an occlusive layer of alpha₂-macroglobulin on vascular endothelium. The source of this protide is the fetal liver. In the absence of diapedesis there is no homograft reaction within the placenta. The “graft” is tolerated.     

Intravenous tufted angioma

A case of a rare vascular tumor, intravenous tufted angioma, is described. A 51-year-old Japanese man presented with a 12x8 mm solitary reddish nodule on the right foot, which had been found at birth. Histologically, the tumor was confined to a malformed vein and was characterized by nodular aggregates of plump cells. The aggregates showed a compact proliferation of round cells, including capillary-forming cells. Venous angiomatous areas were also observed. No multinucleated giant cells were seen. Immunohistochemically, the capillary-forming cells in the aggregates and the endothelial cells in the angiomatous areas were positive for endothelial markers (factor VIII-related antigen, CD31, CD34). Pericyte-like cells expressing alpha-smooth muscle actin and muscle actin, and macrophage-like cells, which stained for factor XIIIa, were intermingled in the cellular aggregates. Flow cytometric analysis showed diploidy. The tumor may be a hamartomatous lesion modified by secondary reactive changes, and it may represent a distinctive clinicopathological entity that is closely related histogenetically and perhaps pathologically to tufted angioma and the recently described "giant cell angioblastoma".     

银杏叶提取物对血管性痴呆大鼠海马突触素表达的影响

目的：研究银杏叶提取物(EGb761)对血管性痴呆模型大鼠海马突触素表达的影响。方法:以双侧颈总动脉反复夹闭再通同时腹腔注射硝普钠建立血管性痴呆模型大鼠，采用Morris 水迷宫和免疫组化方法分别观察大鼠空间学习记忆能力及海马突触素(SYN)表达情况。结果:模型组大鼠在1月、2月和4月不同时点测得的Morris水迷宫逃避潜伏期(EL)均较假手术组明显延长(P<0.01)，药物组EL均显著短于模型组，但仍长于假手术组(P<0.05或P<0.01)；模型组海马SYN表达弱于假手术组，而药物组海马SYN表达高于模型组(P<0.01)。结论:EGb761增加海马结构SYN表达可能是其改善VD大鼠学习记忆障碍的重要机制。     

Involvement of E-cadherin and beta-catenin in germ cell tumours and in normal male fetal germ cell development

Intercellular contacts, mediated by E-cadherin, are essential for germ cell migration and maturation. Furthermore, it has been suggested that decrease or loss of E-cadherin correlates with tumour progression and invasive behaviour. beta-catenin is involved in a number of different processes, including cell--cell interaction when bound to cadherins, and determination of cell fate in pluripotent cells when activated via the Wnt signal-transduction pathway. To shed more light on the role of these factors in normal fetal germ cell development and the pathogenesis of germ cell tumours (GCTs), the present study investigated the presence and localization of E-cadherin and beta-catenin by immunohistochemistry. E-cadherin was only weakly expressed in or absent from fetal germ cells of the second and third trimesters, and was not expressed in carcinoma in situ/intratubular germ cell neoplasia unclassified (CIS/ITGCNU) and gonadoblastoma, the precursor of an invasive GCT in dysgenetic gonads. In GCTs, it was generally not expressed in seminoma and dysgerminoma, but was found in the vast majority of non-seminoma cells. beta-catenin was found in the cytoplasm of fetal germ cells at all gestational ages and in spermatogenesis in post-pubertal testes. It was also present in CIS/ITGCNU and gonadoblastoma. Whereas seminomas and dysgerminoma were negative, non-seminoma cells were frequently found to express beta-catenin. Expression of both factors therefore reflects the degree of differentiation of these tumours. No differences for either E-cadherin or beta-catenin were observed between samples of tumours resistant or sensitive to chemotherapy, and E-cadherin expression did not correlate with vascular invasion. E-cadherin and beta-catenin therefore play a role in both normal and malignant germ cell development and differentiation that warrants further investigation, but they seem to be of limited value as predictive or prognostic factors in GCTs.
