Heparin effect on ionised calcium concentration

The effect of heparin on plasma ionised calcium was studied by adding it in increasing amounts to whole blood from 10 normal subjects. There was no significant change in ionised calcium from the addition of 1 U/ml but a significant fall of 0.02 mmol/1 when 2 U/ml were added and a progressive further fall with increasing concentrations. Heparin from three different manufacturers produced similar results. The effect of heparinisation in vivo was studied during regular haemodialysis on 10 patients with chronic renal failure. Following intravenous injection of 10000 U of heparin there was a consistent and significant fall averaging 0.03 mmol/l.

用PCR—RFLP和16SrDNA指纹图法分析幽门螺杆菌基因型

本文建立了PCR－RFLP和16srDNA指纹图法．对19株幽门螺杆菌（HP）进行基因型分析：HP尿素酶C基因的PCR扩增产物．分别用HindⅢ、HaeⅢ、AluⅠ酶切，结果显示：每个酶均将19株HP分为3种RFLP图谱．综合HindⅢ，HaeⅢ和AluⅠ酶切结果，19株HP分为10个酶切带型；PCR扩增HP标准株16SrRNA基因，地高辛标记制备550bp探针，19株HPDNA分别经HaeⅢ和EcoRⅠ酶切、电泳后，通过Southern杂交获16SrDNA指纹图，结果显示：HaeⅢ酶切分为14个杂交带型，EcoRⅠ酶切19株HP杂交带型均不同。本实验表明：上述两种方法重复性好，分群力高，可准确有效地对HP作出鉴定并将其分型。19株HP株间存在基因型差异。     

Kringle 5的真核植物细胞穿梭表达载体的构建

目的：构建含有目的基因kring5的真核植物细胞穿酸表达载体。方法：应用RT－PCR方法，从正常人肝脏组织中获得kringle5基因，测序后，再通过DNA重组技术，将kringle5基因片段克隆到真核植物细胞表达载体pBI121和pCAMBIA3301上。结果：得到的kringle5基因序列测定结果与文献相符，重组载体pB1k5和pC33k5经酶切鉴定正确，含有植物高效表达CaMV35S启动子。结论：重组载体pB1k5和pC33k5不仅可以在大肠杆菌中稳定复制，而且可以在植物细胞中表达。

Photodynamic therapy of tumours: value of quantum chemical procedures for characterization of new drugs. Prediction of the electronic structure of zinc(II) phthalocyanine with special emphasis on triplet state excitation energies

Zinc(II) phthalocyanine is the active component of the liposomal formulation CGP 55847 which showed a high activity in photodynamic therapy in a variety of animal tumours. The photophysical properties of zinc(II) phthalocyanine have been studied in detail and compared to those of Photofrin, the only sensitizing agent approved so far for phase III/IV clinical trials. Since the efficacy of photodynamic therapy intrinsically depends on the spectroscopic features of the sensitizer, quantum chemical methods have proven to be an efficient means for optimizing chemical structures. As will be shown, a simple modification of the time-honoured INDO model of Pople allows a prediction of the singlet and triplet state properties of molecules of the size of zinc(II) phthalocyanine with an rms error of ≤ 1000 cm⁻¹.     

Expression and activation of 15-lipoxygenase pathway in severe asthma: relationship to eosinophilic phenotype and collagen deposition

BACKGROUND: Although 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE), a product of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO), may be involved in mild to moderate asthma, little is known about its potential roles in severe asthma. OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to evaluate 15(S)-HETE levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from severe asthmatics with and without airway eosinophils and from the control groups. In addition, 15-LO protein expression was examined in endobronchial biopsy, while its expression and activation were evaluated in BAL cells. RESULTS: While 15(S)-HETE levels in BALF were significantly higher in all severe asthmatics than normal subjects, severe asthmatics with airway eosinophils had the highest levels compared with mild, moderate asthmatics and normal subjects. 15(S)-HETE levels were associated with tissue eosinophil numbers, sub-basement membrane thickness and BALF tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 levels, and were accompanied by increased 15-LO expression in bronchial epithelium. In addition, activation of 15-LO was suggested by the increased proportion of 15-LO in the cytoplasmic membrane of alveolar macrophages from severe asthmatics. CONCLUSION: The data suggest that severe asthmatics with persistent airway eosinophils manifest high levels of 15(S)-HETE in BALF, which may be associated with airway fibrosis. It is likely that 15-LO expression and activation by airway cells explain the increased 15(S)-HETE levels.
