This study aimed to explore the mechanism involved in the synergistic purgative action of aloe-emodin anthrone and rhein anthrone, the active metabolites of sennoside C. Aloe-emodin anthrone and rhein anthrone, and their equimolar mixture, induced excretion of an approximately equal number of faeces by intracaecal administration at a dose of 23.2 μmol kg?1 in mice (= 10 standard dose). The number of wet faeces induced by aloe-emodin anthrone was less than those of rhein anthrone and the mixture. At the same dose, rhein anthrone and the mixture significantly stimulated large intestinal propulsion, though aloe-emodin anthrone had little stimulatory effect. Aloe-emodin anthrone and rhein anthrone decreased net water absorption but could not reverse it to the net secretion at 1/2 dose. The mixture significantly decreased net water absorption and reversed it to the net secretion at this dose. These anthrones did not stimulate mucus secretion in the colon at 1/2 dose. We concluded that the synergistic purgative effect of aloe-emodin anthrone and rhein anthrone in mice results from synergistic stimulation of large intestinal transit and large intestinal water secretion. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Evaluation of 24-hour endogenous growth hormone (GH) secretion was carried out in 62 children, aged 7-16 years, who did not have classic GH deficiency (GHD). The mean 24-hour GH concentration, determined at 20-minute intervals over 24 hours, was variable, ranging from 1.28 to 11.39 μg/l with a mean of 4.95 ± 2.55 μl (± SD). There was a positive correlation between mean 24-hour GH concentration and plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) values ( r = 0.54; p < 0.01). Recombinant human GH, 0.1 IU/kg/day was administered to 30 of the 62 children for 6 months followed by 6 months'observation without treatment. Thereafter, GH was administered at the same dose for a further 6 months to 16 children. The mean height velocities before, during, and after the first treatment period were 4.3 ± 0.9, 7.3 ± 1.9 and 4.9 ± 2.0 cm/year (mean ± SD), respectively. The height velocity during treatment was greater than pre- and post-treatment values ( p < 0.001). The height velocity Increased again during the second treatment period to a mean of 8.5 ± 2.0 cm/year ( p < 0.001). Nine other children were treated continuously in a similar manner for 1 year and their height velocity increased significantly from 4.1 ± 1.4 to 6.0 ± 1.9 cm/year ( p < 0.001). According to our criteria, 29 of the 39 children (74.4%) who were treated for 6-12 months showed a GH-dependent height increase during therapy. There were no differences between the children who responded to GH treatment and those who did not in terms of Chronological age, bone age, plasma IGF-I level, maximal GH level to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, or mean 24-hour plasma GH concentration. These data indicate that some short children without GHD respond to GH treatment with an increased height velocity. Further investigations are required to determine the effect of GH on final height. 相似文献

A 13 month old boy was found to have severely reduced β-galactocerebrosidase activity suggesting infantile Krabbe disease. Clinically, the patient showed a progressive neurological deterioration with white-matter disease on radiological study. Axillary skin biopsy was performed to support the diagnosis. On electron microscopy, needle-like inclusions, which are the typical finding seen in the cytoplasm of astrocytes and Schwann cells in the classic infantile form, were present in eccrine sweat gland epithelial cells. This method is useful for diagnosis when nerve biopsy and biochemical analysis are not readily available. 相似文献

To clarify the validity of positron emission tomography using fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET) for the preoperative evaluation of endometrial cancer, we analyzed the preoperative FDG-PET images of both primary and metastatic lesions of 30 patients with endometrial cancer, and compared them with computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and the results of postoperative pathologic findings. As to the primary lesions, FDG-PET could easily identify the cancer, and the sensitivity was 96.7%, which tended to be higher than that of 83.3% by CT/MRI. As to the evaluation of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, FDG-PET could detect none of five cases of lymph node metastatic lesions of up to 0.6 cm in diameter but had higher specificity (100%) compared with CT/MRI (85.7%). The sensitivity of FDG-PET for detection of extrauterine lesions excluding retroperitoneal lymph nodes was 83.3% and was superior to that of CT/MRI (66.7%), although there was no difference in the specificity between the modalities (100%). The diagnostic ability of FDG-PET was limited if used alone, but FDG-PET gave additional information especially with regard to the extrauterine lesions whose significance could not be determined on CT/MRI. However, we also found that FDG-PET could not identify any lymph node metastasis less than 1 cm in diameter; therefore, a negative finding of lymph node metastasis on FDG-PET should not be interpreted as a reason for omitting retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for the precise surgical staging of endometrial cancer. 相似文献

Accidental transmission of contagious pathogens, especially hepatitis C virus (HCV), by needlestick or other means as an occupational hazard for medical staff is of concern. We retrospectively analysed cases of work-related accidental injury with pathogens such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), HCV, syphilis and human immunode?ciency virus (HIV) reported to the centres for disease control at 15 hospitals (total 5776 beds) in the Gunma prefecture, Japan, from December 1990 to August 1993 (24.7 months). There were 416 such cases (16.8 cases/month), with an incidence of 0.2–3.5 accidents per month per hospital. Such accidents occurred in 297 (71.2%) nurses, 98 (23.5%) medical doctors, 13 (3%) laboratory technicians, four (1.0%) hospital maintenance workers, one (0.2%) assistant nurse, one secretary and two others. There were 323 (77.6%) injuries caused by needlestick, 42 (10.1%) from suture needles or surgical knife cuts, 17 (4.1%) from blood splatters from patients into the eyes or mouth, 10 (2.4%) from contact with injured skin and 24 (5.8%) simple skin contacts. Of the pathogens, 60.3% were HCV, 22.6% HBV, 5.8% syphilis, 0.7% HIV and 10.6% were of unknown origin. Four cases (1.6%) of HCV infection were found and treated with one or two courses of interferon therapy, and HCV was subsequently cleared. All four patients were cured with interferon therapy. None of the HBV-injured cases resulted in infection, possibly because of prophylaxis with HB immunoglobulin and HB vaccine. No HIV or syphilis infection was contracted. In summary, chronic HCV infection acquired as an occupational hazard can be cured by appropriate treatment, such as with interferon, after early detection of the infection. 相似文献

Abstract The present study examined the differences of self-ratings of 4h sleep in three states: L-WE, where the percentage of waking time and urinary epinephrine are low (< 20% waking time); H-W, where the percentage of waking time and epinephrine levels increase along the basal regression line as determined by a previous study (20–100% waking time and < 7 ng/min); H-E, where epinephrine levels increase more than expected from the basal regression line for the two parameters (> 7 ng/min). Eight healthy male subjects participated twice in a 4 h polysomnograph experiment with four types of sleep onset (total of 64 observations). In group L-WE (52 observations for eight subjects), there were no excessively negative feelings on sleep latency, sleep depth, and feelings of sleep compared with usual sleep according to the questionnaire. Subjective sleep diagrams in group L-WE were similar to polysomnographic findings. Thus, group L-WE was thought objectively and subjectively to have a good sleep state. Groups H-W (eight observations for four subjects) and H-E (four observations for two subjects) had negative feelings regarding sleep depth and feelings of sleep compared with usual sleep. Approximately half the group H-W underrated their sleep compared with objective diagrams, while all cases in group H-E remarkably underrated their sleep in the subjective diagrams. The state of remarkable adrenal medullary secretory activity seen in group H-E and that of the slightly increased activity shown in group H-W were included in poor sleep states objectively and subjectively. 相似文献

A human tumor line serially transplantable in nude mice, originatingfrom a well-differentiated papillo-tubular adenocarcinoma ofthe stomach, was established. The growth of this tumor was enhancedby daily injection of C-terminal tetrapeptide gastrin into themice. Although there was little difference in histology, thegastrin-stimulated tumor had larger glandular spaces filledwith mucin-like substance than the control tumor. 3H-thymidine uptake of the gastrin stimulated tumor was higherthan that of control, as shown by microradiography and countingof radioactivity in tissue homogenates. The plasma membrane fraction of the tumor revealed positivebinding for gastrin and the cytosol fraction contained cyclicAMP dependent- and independent protein kinases. Incubation oftumor slices with gastrin caused a conformational change inthe enzymes. Therefore we conclude that this G4 tumor line xenotransplantablein nude mice is sensitive to gastrin in its trophic and secretorymechanisms. 相似文献

Recent studies have suggested that the regulation of apoptosis during wound healing is important in scar establishment and the development of pathological scarring. In this study, we demonstrate that keloid fibroblasts can be identified as apoptotic cells because of their highly condensed chromatin and discrete nuclear fragments. To further reveal the phenomenon of apoptosis, we quantified the number of terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells in surgically resected tissues of keloids (N = 10), hypertrophic scars (N = 10), normal healed flat scars (N = 10), and dermatofibroma (N = 10). The number of TUNEL-positive cells was relatively low, but was significantly higher for the keloid group compared with the normally healed flat scar group (p = 0.004), suggesting reduced cell survival and increased apoptotic cell death in a subpopulation of keloid fibroblasts. Furthermore, the number of TUNEL-positive cells was significantly higher for the keloid group compared with the dermatofibroma group (p = 0.044), suggesting that a subpopulation of keloid fibroblasts may suppress tumorgenicity at a greater rate than dermatofibroma by undergoing cell death. Hypertrophic scars had significantly higher levels of apoptosis than normally healed flat scars (p = 0.033). Therefore, these results suggest that selected fibroblasts in keloids and hypertrophic scars undergo apoptosis, which may play a role in the process of pathological scarring. 相似文献

The secretory antibody responses in 34 infants and children (20 days-17 months old) with lower respiratory tract disease following primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection were determined using a sensitive tissue culture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. None of the patients in the acute phase showed IgA antibody responses. In contrast significant IgG antibody responses which were thought to be maternally derived were observed in infants younger than 2 months of age. In the convalescent phase sample, significantly high IgA antibody responses were observed in all patients except one, and there was no significant difference in magnitude of antibody activity between patients younger than 8 months and patients older than 8 months. However, IgG antibody responses in infants younger than 8 months were significantly lower than in subjects 8 to 17 months old. Notably, infants younger than 2 months developed no significant IgG antibody activity in the convalescent phase. These observations suggest that the antibody activity which contributes to recovery from primary infection by RSV in younger infants may be IgA rather than IgG class antibodies. These observations also suggest that the presumptive immunosuppression mediated by maternally derived antibodies may predominantly influence the IgG antibody response rather than the development of local IgA antibody activity. 相似文献
