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.     

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。     

不同微生物诱导家蝇幼虫表达抗菌肽的特性

研究不同微生物诱导家蝇幼虫表达的抗菌肽特性.用3种不同的病源菌通过针刺感染的方法诱导家蝇幼虫表达抗菌肽,通过Sephadex G25分离,用Hult mark改进法和抑菌圈测定法作抑菌试验,用毛细管电泳（CE）分析不同微生物诱导得到的抗菌肽样品差异,检测抗菌肽的热稳定性和酸碱耐受性.发现不同微生物诱导产生的家蝇抗菌肽具有广谱抑菌性,但不同样品对不同病源菌抑菌活性有差异,不同测定抑菌效果的方法对抑菌结果有影响,各种抗菌肽样品CE蛋白谱具有明显不同.抗菌肽样品都具有热稳定性和酸碱耐受性.说明不同微生物诱导产生的家蝇抗菌肽类型以及抗菌肽含量与诱导源有关,抗菌肽为家蝇幼虫体内固有成分,诱导增加了抗菌肽的表达量同时刺激新抗菌肽的产生.用志贺氏菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、鼠伤寒沙门氏菌诱导家蝇幼虫可产生较多含量高活性好的抗菌肽.     

胃癌组织中核基质蛋白的变化

Activation of two different but complementary biochemical pathways stimulates release of hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.

Evidence exists that a norepinephrine/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)/cAMP pathway is involved in the regulation of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) secretion. The aim of the present experiments was to determine if release of LHRH from the immature rat hypothalamus could also be stimulated by activation of protein kinase C. Median eminences from 28-day-old female rats were incubated in vitro with either dioctanoylglycerol (a synthetic diacylglycerol that selectively activates protein kinase C in intact cells) or 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (another protein kinase C activator). Both agents increased LHRH release, the response to dioctanoylglycerol being more pronounced than that to the phorbol ester. This direct activation of protein kinase C was not accompanied by changes in PGE2 formation. Activation of the PGE2/cAMP pathway by either norepinephrine, PGE2, or forskolin (a stimulator of adenylate cyclase) increased LHRH release. Dioctanoylglycerol or phorbol ester in conjunction with either norepinephrine, PGE2 or forskolin resulted in an additive effect on LHRH release suggesting coexistence of both pathways. Phospholipase C, which activates protein kinase C via formation of diacylglycerol, increased the release of both LHRH and PGE2. This suggests that an increase in endogenous phospholipase C activity caused by neurotransmitter inputs may lead to both activation of protein kinase C and PGE2 formation. Blockade of cyclooxygenase activity by indomethacin obliterated phospholipase C-induced PGE2 release. The same treatment reduced the LHRH response by only 50% indicating that protein kinase C activation can cause LHRH release in the absence of PGE2 synthesis. It is suggested that the median eminence of the rat possesses a protein kinase C-dependent pathway that is coupled positively to LHRH release and complements PGE2/cAMP-dependent mechanisms. Norepinephrine, however, does not appear to be the neurotransmitter responsible for activating the protein kinase C pathway. Simultaneous activation of both pathways may provide a mechanism by which a large increase in LHRH secretion occurs, such as in the afternoon of first proestrus.     

Evaluation of clinical criteria for the acute respiratory distress syndrome in pediatric patients.

OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the validity of the North American-European Consensus Committee (NAECC) definition for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in pediatric patients. A secondary aim was to evaluate the threshold value for the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, used to determine which pediatric patients have ARDS. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Pediatric intensive care unit patients who required mechanical ventilation, died, and underwent autopsy between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 2002 (n = 34). INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Clinical and chest radiograph information was collected retrospectively through chart review using a standardized data collection tool. Data included the criteria specified in the NAECC definition of ARDS and demographic information. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and likelihood ratio of clinical diagnosis of ARDS compared with a pathologic diagnosis. The threshold value of PaO2/FiO2 was identified by plotting receiver operating characteristics curves and comparing the areas under the curves. The NAECC definition yielded a sensitivity of 80.7% (95% confidence interval 60-92%), specificity of 71.4% (95% confidence interval 30-95), positive predictive value of 91.3% (95% confidence interval 70-98), negative predictive value of 50.0% (95% confidence interval 20-78), and likelihood ratio of 2.82. A PaO2/FiO2 <150 had a slightly higher (but not significantly different) specificity for ARDS than a value >200 (71% vs. 86%, p = .15) without changing sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests the need for further research with larger number of children to identify an optimal Pao2/Fio2 threshold for identifying ARDS in this population.
