神经激肽A在大鼠结肠发育中的定性定量分析

探讨神经激肽A(NKA)在大鼠结肠发育中的表达及变化,应用免疫组织化学PAP法和图像分析系统观测大鼠胚胎13d至成年结肠中NKA的表达情况。结果显示:(1)在结肠,首先于胚胎17 d的肌间丛及上皮处出现NKA-IR的表达,随发育相继出现于纵肌、环肌、粘膜肌、固有膜、粘膜下层和粘膜丛,30 d时具备成年分布特征;(2)定量分析的结果与NKA~IR在结肠各层的变化一致;(3)NKA-IR细胞具有典型的肠道内分泌细胞的形态特征和分布特征。结果提示:(1)NKA在结肠的发生发育主要在生前5 d~生后4周内;(2)NKA在结肠的发生发育有两个关键时期,即生前5 d~生后1周和生后1月末;(3)NKA-IR细胞可能是肠道内分泌NKA的内分泌细胞;(4)NKA可能对大鼠结肠的发育具有重要作用,可能与结肠功能的建立密切相关。     

Migration of Medical Image Data Archived Using Mini-PACS to Full-PACS

This study evaluated the migration to full-PACS of medical image data archived using mini-PACS at two hospitals of the Yonsei University Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. A major concern in the migration of medical data is to match the image data from the mini-PACS with the hospital OCS (Ordered Communication System). Prior to carrying out the actual migration process, the principles, methods, and anticipated results for the migration with respect to both cost and effectiveness were evaluated. Migration gateway workstations were established and a migration software tool was developed. The actual migration process was performed based on the results of several migration simulations. Our conclusions were that a migration plan should be carefully prepared and tailored to the individual hospital environment because the server system, archive media, network, OCS, and policy for data management may be unique.

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from thermal injury patients are defective in their ability to generate lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity

We have previously shown that natural killer (NK) cell activity against K562 tumor cells is severely depressed in thermal injury patients. In this study we have investigated whether the low NK cell activity present in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from thermal injury patients could be enhanced byin vitro culture with interleukin 2 (IL2) and whether PBL obtained from these patients could generate lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity against NK insensitive tumor targets. NK cell activity in PBL obtained from 12 different patients was greatly enhanced against K562 tumor cells afterin vitro culture with IL2 for 3 days. In contrast, PBL obtained from these patients and incubated with IL2 had little to no cytotoxic activity when measured against a number of NK-insensitive tumor targets. The failure of PBL obtained from thermal injury patients to generate LAK cell activity was observed regardless of the culture time or the amount of IL2 added to the cultures. PBL from thermal injury patients demonstrated reduced proliferative responses to IL2 and, more importantly, contained suppressor cells which could inhibit the generation of LAK cell activity of normal PBL obtained from control individuals. These results clearly show that in some thermal injury patients NK cell activity can be enhanced by IL2 but these patients are defective in their ability to generate LAK cell activity.     

Response of glucose-responsive ventromedial hypothalamic neurons to scrotal and preoptic thermal stimulation in rats

Almost all ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) neurons facilitated by electro-osmotic application of glucose responded to scrotal thermal stimulation. On the other hand, only 50% of neurons which did not respond to glucose responded to the thermal stimulation. The VMH neurons facilitated or inhibited by scrotal warming were mostly facilitated or inhibited by preoptic warming, respectively. These results suggest that thermal signals from scrotal skin and preoptic area were conveyed to VMH neurons, especially to glucose-responsive ones, and could influence feeding control.     

New image-processing system for analysis,display and measurement of static and dynamic foot pressures

A new image-processing system, using a video digitiser with an IBM-compatible PC/AT, is developed for acquisition and processing of low-contrast, lowintensity barographic images of both feet for assessment of pressure distribution during standing and walking. Data displays, in the form of centres of pressures, isopressures contours, perspective views of pressures, grey scale image and walking pressure patterns, combined image of walking pressures, paths of centres of pressures and pressure variations with time, are developed. These have provided very useful and early information regarding the internal structural changes in the bones of the foot and sites at risk of ulcer development in leprosy subjects and enable suitable corrective orthopaedic procedures to be adopted. unitl the end of November 1990, and will then return to the Indian Institute of Technology.
