马桑内酯所致癫痫发作大鼠红细胞免疫粘附功能的研究

作者用红细胞Ｃ＿３ｂ受体花环试验和红细胞免疫复合物花环试验对马桑内酯所致癫痫发作大鼠红细胞免疫粘附功能的变化进行了观察，结果表明，癫痫组动物红细胞Ｃ＿３ｂ受体花环率明显低于对照组，而红细胞免疫复合物花环率相差不显著．提示癫痫发作可导致大鼠红细胞免疫粘附功能降低，因此在癫痫治疗中注意调整和增强患者的红细胞免疫功能具有重要意义。     

β2-glycoprotein I, anti-β2-glycoprotein I, and fibrinolysis

β₂-glycoprotein-I (β₂GPI) is a phospholipid-binding plasma protein that consists of five homologous domains. Domain V is distinguished from others by bearing a positively charged lysine cluster and hydrophobic extra C-terminal loop. β₂GPI has been known as a natural anticoagulant regulator. β₂GPI exerts anticoagulant activity by inhibition of phospholipid-dependent coagulation reactions such as prothrombinase, tenase, and factor XII activation. It also binds factor XI and inhibits its activation. On the other hand, β₂GPI inhibits anticoagulant activity of activated protein C. According to the data from knockout mice, β₂GPI may contribute to thrombin generation in vivo. Phospholipid-bound β₂GPI is one of the major target antigens for antiphospholipid antibodies present in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Binding of pathogenic anti-β₂GPI antibodies increases the affinity of β₂GPI to the cell surface and disrupts the coagulation/fibrinolysis balance on the cell surface. These pathogenic antibodies activate endothelial cells via signal transduction events in the presence of β₂GPI. Impaired fibrinolysis has been reported in patients with APS. Using a newly developed chromogenic assay, we demonstrated lower activity of intrinsic fibrinolysis in euglobulin fractions from APS patients. Addition of monoclonal anti-β₂GPI antibodies with β₂GPI also decreased fibrinolytic activity in this assay system. β₂GPI is proteolytically cleaved by plasmin in domain V (nicked β₂GPI) and becomes unable to bind to phospholipids, reducing antigenicity against antiphospholipid antibodies. This cleavage occurs in patients with increased fibrinolysis turnover. Nicked β₂GPI binds to plasminogen and suppresses plasmin generation in the presence of fibrin, plasminogen, and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Thus, nicked β₂GPI plays a role in the extrinsic fibrinolysis via a negative feedback pathway loop.     

肿瘤潜隐期二阶段模型

从宫颈癌、大肠癌等病种的自然史抽象出一个具有时变伴随变量的潜隐期二阶段模型。潜隐期以正常状态为起点,疾病为终点;其前阶段可逆,后阶段不可逆;状态间转移速率因病人状况而异。用Markov过程描述并求解此模型,进而给出参数估计和假设检验方法。利用此模型基于江西省靖安县12年6轮宫颈癌筛查资料进行了自然史研究,并讨论了应用前景。     

AIDS-free survival and overall survival in HIV infection: the new CDC classification system (1993) for HIV disease and AIDS

The clinical history of 1538 HIV positive patients was analyzed on the basis of the new CDC classification system of HIV disease and AIDS. This classification system combines three CD4 cell categories (1, 2, and 3) with three clinical categories (A, B, and C) into nine subgroups AI–C3. We examined the overall survival for all subgroups and the AIDS-free survival for subgroups Al–B3. AIDS-free survival for patients in subgroups Al, A2, and B1 was considerably longer than survival in patients from subgroups A3, B2, and B3 (P < 0.0001). According to these findings, the new CDC classification system could be simplified into three stages, stage I and II comprising the above mentioned six subgroups, and stage III comprising clinical AIDS defining categories C1, C2, and C3. These three stages correspond to different periods in the management of HIV positive patients, i.e., period of observation, period of prophylaxis, and period of treatment.Abbreviations AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome - CDC Centers for Disease Control - HIV Human immunodeficiency virus Correspondence to: E.B.

念珠状链杆菌在小鼠群中的自然感染和发病特征的观察

本文在国内首次报告了念珠状链杆菌在清洁级Ｃ５７ＢＬ／６Ｊ小鼠群中的自然感染，并从临床、病理解剖、病原学及流行病学方面进行了较为详细的观察，在受检的１４例发病动物中，颈部淋巴结肿大、化脓占７１．４％，皮下、肺门淋巴结脓肿分别占５０．０％和２１．４％，多发性关节炎（包括趾、跗关节）占２１．４％，子宫积脓占７．１％，从所有病灶及部分动物的血液、脾、肝、肺、肾均分离到了单一的细菌。该菌在小鼠成功地进行了急性感染实验，受感染动物出现了典型的念珠状链杆菌病的临床及病理特征，即败血症、关节炎、淤血、水肿、紫绀、结膜炎等。所分离的致病菌在病原学上也完全符合念珠状链杆菌的病原学特征。在饲养环境上与发病鼠群有密切关系的其它４个品系小鼠群，即６１５、ＢＡＬＢ／ｃ、ＣＢＡ、ＫＭ，均未波感染，证明在对该菌的易感性方面存在品系差异。     

Detecting possible vaccine adverse events in clinical notes of the electronic medical record

The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) is a collaboration between the CDC and eight large HMOs to investigate adverse events following immunization through analyses of clinical data. We modified an existing system, called MediClass, that uses natural language processing to identify clinical events recorded in electronic medical records (EMRs). We customized MediClass so it could detect possible vaccine adverse events (VAEs) generally, and gastrointestinal-related VAEs in particular, in the text clinical notes of encounters recorded in the EMR of a large HMO. Compared to methods that use diagnosis and utilization codes assigned to encounters by clinicians and administrators, the MediClass system can both find more adverse events and improve the positive predictive value for detecting possible VAEs.

体外细胞培养检验“方证对应”关系的方法学研究

目的通过在体外细胞培养中加入中药复方粗提制剂对具有典型的中医证型的肺癌患者的外周血淋巴细胞NK活性的影响，探索能否在体外实验中反映“方证对应”关系。方法以水煎醇沉法制备两种中药复方（益气养阴和健脾化痰）的粗提制剂，取具有典型的中医证型（气阴两虚或脾虚痰湿证型）的肺癌患者的外周血淋巴细胞，将同一个患者的标本分为四个体外实验组，即空白对照组，中药5mg／ml组及10mg／ml组，自细胞介素2（250^u/ml，阳性对照）组。按“辨证论治”原则加入相应的中药复方制剂。体外培养22h或94h，以MTT法检测各组的NK活性。结果无论培养22h或94h，中药组的NK活性与对照组比较皆无显著性差异（P〉0．05），而白细胞介素2（阳性对照）组的NK括性均明显升高（P〈0．05）。结论两种中药复方制剂都未能在体外反应出“方证对应”的效果，说明中药粗提制剂直接用于体外细胞培养，其结果的可靠性差。
