125~I－后标记检测DNA－蛋白质交联物的研究

１２５~Ｉ－后标记法是庄志雄等人（１９９４）提出的一种检测ＤＮＡ－蛋白质交联物（ＤＰＣｓ）的新技术，该法在检测离体ＣＨＯ细胞ＤＰＣｓ的实验中已显示出敏感、快速和简便的优点。本研究表明，１２５~Ｉ－后标记法不仅能有效地检出由紫外光和铬酸钾诱导的ＣＨＬ细胞ＤＰＣｓ，并能有效而敏感地检测由铬酸钾和氯化镍引起的大鼠不同组织特别是白细胞ＤＰＣｓ形成的情况，是一种敏感的和可考虑应用于人群调查的ＤＰＣｓ检测方法。     

Type 2 diabetes: assessment of endothelial lesion and fibrinolytic system markers.

This study aimed to investigate whether endothelial cells are damaged and to evaluate fibrinolytic system function in patients with type 2 diabetes. For this proposal, plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (an endothelial marker of injury), homocysteine (an inductor of endothelial injury), D-dimer (a marker of coagulation cascade activation) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (a fibrinolysis marker) were measured in individuals with both type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, with type 2 diabetes, with high blood pressure and in healthy control individuals. No significant differences among groups were observed for von Willebrand factor and homocysteine plasma levels. The type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure group presented a significant difference to the other groups for D-dimer and also presented high values for plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. The high blood pressure group and type 2 diabetes group presented separately higher values of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 compared with the control group. High levels of D-dimer and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure with normoalbuminuria therefore indicate a state of hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis, despite no evident microvascular injury supported by normal levels of von Willebrand factor and homocysteine.     

Comparative cytotoxicity of 2,3,9-trimethoxypterocarpan in leukemia cell lines (HL-60, Jurkat,Molt-4, and K562) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiproliferative activity of 2,3,9-trimethoxypterocarpan, a known pterocarpan with cytotoxic activity against many tumor cell lines, in a panel of four leukemia cell lines (HL-60, Molt-4, Jurkat, and K562) and on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The pterocarpan showed IC₅₀ ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 μg/ml at leukemic cells after 72 h of incubation, with K562 being the most resistant cell line. This compound seemed to be selective to tumor cell lines, since at a concentration of 10 μg/ml after 72 h, it only reduced 19% of viable peripheral mononuclear cells.     

Ectodermal dysplasia with acanthosis nigricans (Lelis syndrome)

A 31-year-old male patient with ectodermal dysplasia and acanthosis nigricans is described. Clinical findings included hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, nail dystrophy, early onset loss of permanent dentition, mental retardation, and acanthosis nigricans. The findings suggest the diagnosis of Lelis syndrome, as described on the basis of seven unrelated cases. A review concerning this condition is also presented.     

MNNG诱发大鼠腺胃癌模型的建立及p53,ras基因表达的研究

目的建立N一甲基一N’一硝基一N一亚硝基胍（N－methy1－N’－nitro－N－nitrosoguanidine，MNNG）诱发大鼠腺胃癌模型并观察p53，ras基因的表达。方法给Wistar大鼠饮用MNNG水溶液（终浓度为80μg／ml），用ABC法检测P53和P21蛋白的表达。结果MNNG成功地诱发出了胃癌、胃腺瘤、胃息肉、胃粘膜不典型增生和历上皮化生等病变。胃癌肝转移2例，淋巴结转移1例。P53蛋白在肠化及不典型增生皆阴性，胃癌阳性率为50％；P21蛋白在肠化及不典型增生中阳性率为44％，在癌组织中为23％。结论MNNG能诱发大鼠脾胃癌等病变，P53基因突变在胃癌发生发展过程中起一定作用，而ras基因激活是一个早期现象。
