目的：研究大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后后血中一氧化氮（NO），超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的浓度变化以及肺组织中Bax,Bcl-2的表达，探讨小肠缺血再灌注后对肺组织的损伤，方法：建立小肠缺血再灌注模型，分对照 ，再灌注后0，30min，1，2h,1,3,7d共8组，于各时点检测血中Bax,Bcl-2的表达情况。结果：大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后NO浓度0min明显升高，2h时降低，随后升高，7d时达高峰，SOD浓度0min明显下降，2h 时升高，随后下降，7d时达最低，Bax,Bcl-2免疫阳性细胞主要位于肺组织中血管内皮细胞和肺泡上皮细胞，再灌注0min,Bax,Bcl-2阳性细胞率增多，30min时Bax,Bcl-2阳性细胞率均升高分别为17．1％和78．1％，Bcl-2表达高于Bax，两者差别显著（P＜0．01），2h时降低，其后升高，7d时阳性细胞率达高峰分别为94．1％和83．4％，Bax表达明显高于Bcl-2，两者差异显著（P＜0．01）。结论：大鼠小肠缺血再灌注后可引起血中NO，SOD的浓度变化和Bax及Bcl-2阳性细胞在肺组织中的表达改变并可能引起肺组织细胞凋亡和损伤。     

组织多肽特异性抗原在原发性肝癌中的临床应用

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical value of serum tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) for primary hepatic cancer in comparison with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). METHODS: TPS and AFP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 85 patients with primary hepatic cancer, 19 with metastatic hepatic cancer, 35 with liver cirrhosis, 22 with chronic hepatitis and 50 healthy control subjects. RESULTS: Serum AFP levels were elevated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in comparison with that in cholangiocarcinoma patients (P=0.037), but the difference was not significant (P=0.737). Serum TPS levels were significantly correlated with the tumor size (P=0.001), but not with the number of the tumors, portal invasion, extrahepatic metastasis, clinical stage or histological differentiation (P>0.05). A significant correlation was observed between AFP level and tumor size (P=0.028), portal invasion(P=0.005), and histological differentiation (P=0.000). CONCLUSION: TPS alone offers no more clues than AFP for the diagnosis of primary hepatic cancer, though it can be helpful for the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. It has only limited clinical utility as a marker for primary hepatic cancer.     

Isoflurane Preconditioning Improves Long-term Neurologic Outcome after Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury in Neonatal Rats

Background: Preconditioning the brain with relatively safe drugs seems to be a viable option to reduce ischemic brain injury. The authors and others have shown that the volatile anesthetic isoflurane can precondition the brain against ischemia. Here, the authors determine whether isoflurane preconditioning improves long-term neurologic outcome after brain ischemia.

Methods: Six-day-old rats were exposed to 1.5% isoflurane for 30 min at 24 h before the brain hypoxia-ischemia that was induced by left common carotid arterial ligation and then exposure to 8% oxygen for 2 h. The neuropathology, motor coordination, and learning and memory functions were assayed 1 month after the brain ischemia. Western analysis was performed to quantify the expression of the heat shock protein 70, Bcl-2, and survivin 24 h after isoflurane exposure.

Results: The mortality was 45% after brain hypoxia-ischemia. Isoflurane preconditioning did not affect this mortality. However, isoflurane preconditioning attenuated ischemia-induced loss of neurons and brain tissues, such as cerebral cortex and hippocampus in the survivors. Isoflurane also improved the motor coordination of rats at 1 month after ischemia. The learning and memory functions as measured by performance of Y-maze and social recognition tasks in the survivors were not affected by the brain hypoxia-ischemia or isoflurane preconditioning. The expression of Bcl-2, a well-known antiapoptotic protein, in the hippocampus is increased after isoflurane exposure. This increase was reduced by the inhibitors of inducible nitric oxide synthase. Inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibition also abolished isoflurane preconditioning-induced neuroprotection.     

抗神经元抗体对副肿瘤综合征早期诊断的临床意义

目的 探讨抗神经元抗体抗-Hu、抗-Yo、抗-Ri抗体的检测与副肿瘤综合征早期诊断的关系。方法 采用蛋白免疫印迹分析(Western Blot)法对12例确诊为副肿瘤综合症(PNS)的患者血清及32例非PNS血清进行检测。结果 12例确诊患者血清中检测到一项或多项抗体阳性;PNS患者血清中抗-Hu、抗-Yo、抗-Ri抗体的阳性率高于非PNS对照组,差异有极显著性意义(P<0.01);正常对照组血清抗-Hu,抗-Yo,抗-Ri抗体全部为阴性。结论 抗神经元抗体抗-Hu、抗-Yo、抗-Ri抗体可作为PNS早期诊断及确诊的指标。     

Personality traits of agreeableness and extraversion are associated with ADH4 variation.

BACKGROUND: Personality traits are associated with substance dependence (SD); genetic factors may influence both. Strong associations between ADH4 variation and SD have been reported. We aimed to investigate the relationship between ADH4 variation and personality traits in the present study. METHODS: We assessed dimensions of the five-factor model of personality in 243 subjects with SD (175 European Americans [EAs] and 68 African Americans [AAs]) and 296 healthy control subjects (256 EAs and 40 AAs). We also genotyped 7 ADH4 markers (spanning the locus) and 38 unlinked ancestry-informative markers in these subjects. The relationships between the diplotypes, alleles, and genotypes at ADH4 and personality traits were examined using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), controlling for potential confounders. RESULTS: Generally, SD patients, older individuals, and male subjects scored higher on neuroticism and lower on other personality factors. Personality factors were associated with the diplotypes. The allele A or genotype A/A of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)6 (rs1800759 at the gene promoter) was significantly associated with agreeableness scores. There were associations between extraversion and SNP1 (hcv2033010 at the 3' end) and SNP2 (rs1042364 in exon 9) in subjects with higher conscientiousness scores. CONCLUSIONS: The personality traits of agreeableness and extraversion are related to ADH4 polymorphism. Among the ADH4 markers that appear to predispose to certain personality traits, the functional variant rs1800759 (SNP6) in the promoter region is most important. We conclude that personality traits and SD have a partially overlapping genetic basis.     

弱视儿童不同部位记录视觉诱发电位比较

目的对弱视儿童不同部位所记录的视觉诱发电位（ＶＥＰ）进行比较研究。方法分析５２只弱视眼常规视觉刺激时于Ｏ１、Ｏ２、Ｏｚ三点记录的ＶＥＰ，并以６６只健康眼的ＶＥＰ作比较。结果弱视眼三个点ＶＥＰ的异常率：Ｏｚ一个点２３％，Ｏ１、Ｏ２两点为７５％，Ｏｚ、Ｏ１和Ｏ２三个点为８１％。与正常眼比较，弱视眼此三点ＶＥＰ的潜伏期均显著延长，Ｏｚ点波幅显著降低，Ｏ１、Ｏ２点波幅则无显著差异。弱视眼的ＶＥＰＯ１和Ｏ２点潜伏期较其Ｏｚ点显著延长，波幅亦显著降低。结论对ＶＥＰ的评价，必须考虑到有无弱视和记录部位这两个因素。
