大鼠大脑中动脉闭塞后丘脑钙调磷酸酶含量与活性的研究

目的 揭示大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)后丘脑钙调磷酸酶(CaN)的时空变化规律，探讨CaN的作用机制。方法 制备大鼠大脑中动脉永久性闭塞模型，分别测定缺血后不同时间点病灶侧丘脑CaN的活性和含量。结果 缺血后24h始丘脑CaN的含量下降且不恢复；CaN的活性在缺血后2h和4h减弱，6h始恢复至正常水平。可见，CaN的活性与含量分离。结论 大脑中动脉闭塞后丘脑CaN活性独特的时间变化规律显示其参与介导继发性丘脑损伤，可能具有毒性作用。     

Curcumin Reduces Burn Progression in Rats

Objectives Cutaneous burns are dynamic injuries with a central zone of necrosis surrounded by a zone of ischemia. Conversion of this ischemic zone to full necrosis over the days following injury is due in part to highly reactive oxygen radicals. Curcumin is a component of the Oriental spice turmeric that has been shown to have antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties. The authors hypothesized that treatment of burns with curcumin would reduce the conversion of the ischemic zone to full necrosis. Methods This was a randomized controlled experiment. Twenty Sprague‐Dawley rats were used. Two burns were created on each animal's dorsum using a brass comb with four rectangular prongs preheated in boiling water and applied for 30 seconds, resulting in four rectangular 10 × 20–mm full‐thickness burns separated by three 5 × 20–mm unburned interspaces (zone of ischemia). Animals were randomized to curcumin or vehicle by oral gavage 30 minutes before injury and at 24, 48, and 72 hours after injury. Wounds were observed at one, two, and three days after injury for visual evidence of necrosis in the unburned interspaces. Full‐thickness biopsy specimens from the interspaces were evaluated with hematoxylin and eosin staining seven days after injury for evidence of necrosis. The percentage of interspaces that progressed to necrosis was compared with chi‐square tests. Results Forty comb burns with 120 unburned interspaces were created, evenly distributed between curcumin and vehicle alone. The percentage of interspaces that progressed to full‐thickness necrosis at one, two, three, and seven days after injury in the curcumin and vehicle groups were 30% versus 63% (p = 0.003), 30% versus 70% (p < 0.001), 63% versus 95% (p = 0.02), and 63% versus 95% (p = 0.02), respectively. Conclusions Pretreatment of rats with oral curcumin followed by once‐daily oral treatment for three days reduced the percentage of unburned skin interspaces that progressed to full necrosis.     

钠钙交换器抑制药在心律失常治疗中的应用

心肌钠钙交换在调节心肌细胞内外钠、钙平衡中发挥重要作用。钠钙交换分为前向型和逆向型2种。在心力衰竭、心肌缺血、心肌再灌注等病理情况下,通过钠钙交换器的离子交换可产生致心律失常性的一过性内向电子流,引起延迟后除极和非折返激动型的室性心动过速。钠钙交换器抑制药在预防这些病理情况下的心律失常具有潜在的作用。     

Striatal cells containing the Ca2+-binding protein calretinin (protein 10) in ischemia-induced neuronal injury

The present study concerns the vulnerability of striatal interneurons immunopositive for the Ca²⁺-binding protein calretinin to ischemic neuronal injury. An immunohistochemical study was carried out on the striata of rats which had undergone transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. Two weeks after the ischemia, there was a marked reduction in the number of calretinin-positive neurons in the ipsilateral ischemic lesion, although the striatal interneurons positive for parvalbumin, which are a neuronal population distinct from the calretinin-immunoreactive cells in the striatum, were spared in the insulted areas. The present data indicate that the striatal calretinin-positive neurons are less resistant to transient ischemia, suggesting that there may exist vulnerability differences among the striatal interneurons in ischemia-induced neuronal injury.     

间断缺血心停搏在冠脉搭桥术中的应用

１９９２～１９９３年间为１８０例冠脉病变的病人施行冠脉搭桥术，全部病人均采用核甙抑制剂利多氟嗪预处理和低温（２８℃）间断缺血心停搏进行术中心肌保护。平均每例病人作冠状动脉端吻合３～４个，每个吻合口用９分钟，主动脉阻断累加时间约２５分钟，体外循环时间９０分钟，术后医院死亡率１．６％（３／１８０），无术后心梗发生。作者认为，冠脉搭桥术的术中心肌保护可采用核甙抑制剂和间断缺血心停搏方法，而不用心肌停搏液。     

血清LSA测定在恶性肿瘤临床诊断中的初步应用

本文根据Svennerholm和蒋谷人等的方法略加改良,测定了蚌埠地区113例正常人,71例恶性肿瘤患者和82例非肿瘤疾病患者血清脂质结合唾液酸(LSA)的含量。正常值为12.4mg/dl(SD=±3.6mg/dl),71例不同肿瘤患者的平均值为28.2mg/dl(SD=±9.7mg/dl),阳性率为88.7％,82例非肿瘤疾病患者的平均值为16.82mg/dl(SD=±5.4mg/dl),假阳性率为17％。方法的灵敏度,重复性(平均CV=3.6％)和回收率(平均回收率=101.4％)测定结果是满意的。本研究的初步结果表明,血清LSA测定对肺癌、白血病、胃癌和食管癌具有一定的临床诊断价值。     

Aggressive resection for advanced pancreatic carcinoma

An aggressive pancreatectomy was performed on a 53 year old Japanese man with advanced cancer of the pancreas. The tumor originated from the body of the pancreas and invaded the stomach, duodenum, left kidney, transverse colon and common hepatic artery. An unexpected cancer was also found in the head of the pancreas during the operation. Therefore, total pancreatectomy, total gastrectomy, left adrenonephrectomy, resection of the left transverse colon and dissection of the regional lymph nodes were performed. Resection of the common hepatic artery was also performed, followed by an end-to-end anastomosis between the common hepatic artery and celiac trunk. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was doing well until nine months after the operation when multiple metastatic lesions were noted in the liver. He died 391 days after the operation from hepatic failure.     

25种常用食物总脂质、总磷脂和主要磷脂含量的比较

<正> 磷脂是构成生物细胞膜的基本组分,以其规律的结构保证细胞的正常形态和功能。因而经常有一定质量的磷脂保证,是维持所有细胞健康生长和生理功能的基础。磷脂已被广泛应用为食品添加剂,由于磷脂是一种天然产物,更加适应当今世界对“非化学添加物”的需要。但目前的食物成分表均无磷脂的含量,为此对云南、陕西、辽宁等地常用食物中总脂质、总磷脂和主要磷脂的含量进行了分析。
