Reactive oxygen species and human spermatozoa: physiology and pathology

The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathophysiology of human sperm function has been emphasized in recent years. ROS production in semen has been associated with loss of sperm motility, decreased capacity for sperm–oocyte fusion and loss of fertility. There is a current presumption that the most prolific source of ROS in sperm suspensions is an NADPH oxidase located in leukocytes or in spermatozoa which produces superoxide which is further converted to peroxide by the action of superoxide dismutase. Hydrogen peroxide has been recognized as the most toxic oxidizing species for human spermatozoa, which are very sensitive to lipid peroxidation owing to the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their plasma membrane, though this is not the sole mechanism by which sperm function might be impaired by ROS. Although the excessive production of ROS is detrimental to human spermatozoa, there is a growing body of evidence which suggests that ROS are also involved in the physiological control of some sperm functions. This review focuses on the nature and source of the ROS generated by human spermataozoa as well as their operational mechanisms and their effects, which may be detrimental or beneficial.     

Shaping ability of the M4 handpiece and Safety Hedstrom Files in simulated root canals

The aim of this study was to assess the shaping ability of the M4 reciprocating handpiece and Safety Hedstrom files in simulated canals. A total of 40 simulated canals of various angles and positions of curvature were prepared with an M4 handpiece using Safety Hedstrom files oriented with the ground, flattened surface towards the inner aspect of the curve. A standard regimen was adopted throughout. Pre- and post-operative longitudinal images of the canals were taken with a video camera and stored and manipulated in a computer with image analysis software. The presence of canal aberrations and the amount and location of resin material removed as a result of preparation were determined from composite images of superimposed pre- and post-operative views. Preparation time varied significantly (P<0.001) between the canal types; overall, 20° canals were prepared more quickly than 40° canals. Zips and elbows were observed in 16 out of the 40 canals with most (11) being created in 40° specimens. Ledges were found in 19 canals and perforations in only 1. There were no significant differences between canal shapes for these aberrations. Excessive removal of material from the inner aspect of the canal at the curve to create a danger zone was found in 20 canals, but only in those with 40° curves. Significant differences in total canal width between the canal types were seen at the zips (P<0.05), elbows (P<0.05) and danger zones (P<0.001). Transportation at the danger zones varied significantly (P<0.001) between canal types. Under the conditions of this study, the M4 handpiece and Safety Hedstrom files created hour-glass preparations in a substantial proportion of canals. In reality, the Safety Hedstrom file with its one flattened surface was ineffective at reducing removal of material along the inner aspect of canal curves in severely curved specimens and clearly has the potential to create strip perforations in teeth.     

大肠癌术后早期肠梗阻的临床特点和治疗

目的：探讨大肠癌术后早期肠梗阻的诊断与治疗。方法：回顾分析在肠癌手术412例术后早期肠梗阻29例的临床资料。结果：20例经手术探查发现以机械性梗阻占多数（18/20)，手术治愈18例；死亡2例，死亡原因均为延误手术时机造成；非手术治愈9例。结论：大肠癌术后早期肠梗阻虽有梗阻症状，但由于术后诸多因素的影响，大多缺乏典型机械性肠梗阻的临床表现。处理中先进行适当时间的非手术治疗，无缓解者再手术。     

The Effects of Cyclophosphamide on the Pharmacokinetics of Triiodothyronine in the Male Rat

In the present study, the possibility that cyclophosphamide or a cyclophosphamide metabolite may be accelerating the clearance of triiodothyronine has been examined. Following administration of exogenous triiodothyronine to saline-and cyclophosphamide-treated rats, the area under the plasma-concentration time curve (AUC), apparent clearance (CL_app) and half-life of triiodothyronine were measured. AUC (34.43 ± 12.34 compared with 33.32 ± 9.92 nmol hL^?1), CL_app (36.30 ± 12.89 compared with 37.51 ± 11.16 mLh^?1) and half-life (7.50 ± 1.39 compared with 6.40 ± 0.96 h) were not significantly different in the control rats compared with the cyclophosphamide-treated rats. As cyclophosphamide does not appear to alter the elimination of triiodothyronine, it is likely that cyclophosphamide or a cyclophosphamide metabolite is acting at the hypothalamo-pituitary axis, reducing the synthesis or release of thyroid stimulating hormone and consequently decreasing the levels of triiodothyronine and thyroxine.     

Isolation and characterization of a monoclonal anti-P30 antibody resistant mutant of Toxoplasma gondii

Of the possible iodine-labelled Toxoplasma gondii surface proteins, P30 (apparent Mr 30,000) is the principal one recognized by acute and convalescent anti-toxoplasma sera. This protein which comprises from 3 to 5% of the total parasite protein was used to raise a panel of parasiticidal monoclonal anti-P30 antibodies. One of these monoclonal antibodies was able to select a resistant mutant from a large population of chemically mutagenized wild-type P strain parasites. This mutant retained the wild type sensitivity to other non-P30 parasiticidal monoclonal antibodies as well as polyclonal anti-P30 rabbit sera. Analysis of surface radioiodinated wild type and mutant parasites showed that the mutant had a quantitative reduction in the amount of P30. A comparison of surface biotin labelled wild type and resistant parasites by two dimensional electrophoresis showed that the mutant lacked one and possibly two of several proteins that make up wild type P30. Western blot analysis indicated that the mutant was devoid of antigenically reactive P30. These findings further support the hypothesis that antigenic variants of T. gondii can be induced and may involve the major surface membrane antigens of the parasite.
