Methaemoglobin formation in the koala and the possum

Measurements were made of glutathione (GSH) levels, catalase activity and the oxidant sensitivity of the erythrocytes from the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). The oxidant sensitivity was tested by treating the haemolysates with either 0.55 him H₂O₂ or 1.4mm NaNO₂. The erythrocytes of the koala had greater levels of GSH and catalase and yet were found to be more susceptible to oxidation induced by both these oxidants.     

肺癌患者红细胞免疫功能和T淋巴细胞亚群的检测及临床意义

作者对62例肺癌患者进行红细胞免疫功能及T淋巴细胞亚群测定，并与20例正常人对照。结果显示：肺癌组红细胞膜C3b受体活性（RBC－C3bRR）、CD3 、CD4 、CD4 ／CD8 比值均低于正常人（P＜0．05～0．01），红细胞膜的吸附免疫复合物（RBC－ICR）、CD8 均高于正常人（P＜0．05～0．01），因此认为红细胞免疫及T淋巴细胞亚群测定对肺癌的诊断、治疗及病情预后估计有一定价值。     

Effect of lead on electrophoretic mobility of rat erythrocytes

Lead often affects the erythrocyte membrane. The relationship between the changes in erythrocyte membrane and the anemia caused by lead is still unclear. Initially, the effect of lead injected intraperitoneally on the electrophoretic mobility of rat erythrocytes was investigated in order to study the relationship between them. As indices of lead exposure, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, hematocrits (Ht), δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) activities and blood lead (blood Pb) levels in the injected rats were also examined. Exposure to lead significantly decreased the mobility of rat erythrocytes. The changes in mobility seemed to be less sensitive than those in ALA-D activity, however, the decreases in mobility were simultaneous with or prior to those in Hb level and Ht. The decreases in mobility were evident to some extent below a blood Pb level of 100 μg/100 ml and generally present at a level of 100 μg/100 ml and over. In the rats exposed to lead a significant negative correlation was found between the mobilities and the logarithms of blood Pb level.     

预防性应用钙拮抗剂对缺血大鼠心肌细胞和红细胞内钙变化的影响

利用大鼠缺血模型观察预防性应用钙桔抗剂尼莫地平对大鼠缺血心肌和红细胞内钙的影响发现，缺血时大鼠心肌细胞、心肌组织和红细胞内均有钙积聚，红细胞膜钙泵活性下降；缺血前30分钟给予尼莫地平可使红细胞内钙恢复至正常水平，红细胞膜钙泵活性升高；心肌细胞和心肌组织内钙虽较缺血鼠降低，但仍高于对照组。提示：（1）缺血时细胞的钙内流可能是全身性的；（2）预防性应用尼莫地平可阻滞或减轻细胞内钙超载，同时还可保护细胞膜膜泵活性。     

急性心肌缺血时红细胞变形性的变化及其机理

本实验观察了犬急性心肌缺血时体循环血与缺血区局部静脉血中红细胞变形性（ＲＣＤ）的变化。结果表明，阻断冠脉血流后高切变率下全血粘度（ηｂｈ）和红细胞刚性指数（ＥＲＩ）明显增高，而缺血区局部血液中此二者的变化明显大于体循环静脉血。事先切断内脏大神经，可使阻断冠脉后体循环血（而不是局部静脉血）的ηｂｈ和ＥＲＩ变化基本消失。缺血区局部血液ｐｈ和ｐＯ２明显降低，ｐＣＯ２明显增高，红细胞内ＡＴＰ含量减少和钙含     

心衰患儿红细胞内外钙离子浓度的变化及临床意义 心衰患儿红细胞内外钙离子浓度的变化及临床意义

目的：为了深讨心肌细胞内钙离子浓度的变化与心力衰竭发生的关系。方法：原子吸收分光技术测定红细胞内外Ca2+含量。我们对住院的56例心力衰竭患儿进行了红细胞内及血浆钙离子浓度的测定，并与30例正常小儿对照。结果：心衰患儿红细胞内Ca2+浓度明显升高，血浆Ca2+浓度降低，与对照组相比有非常显著性差异（P＜0．001）。其升高程度与心衰呈正相关（r=0．63，P＜0．01），即心衰越重，心功能越差，红细胞内Ca2+浓度升高亦越明显。而当心衰纠正，心功能恢复后，红细胞内Ca2+浓度则明显下降，血浆Ca2+浓度也恢复正常。而不同病因所致的心衰，其间红细胞内Ca2+浓度升高程度无明显差异。结论：提示钙离子参与了心力衰竭的发生与发展。     

红细胞对创伤性脑内出血大鼠脑含水量及HO-1表达的影响

目的研究大鼠创伤性脑内出血(TICH)中红细胞对脑含水量和血红素氧合酶-1(HO-1)表达的影响,并分析二者的关系,以探讨红细胞在TICH后脑水肿形成中的作用机制。方法120只大鼠随机分为创伤性脑损伤组(TBI组),TBI加注全血组(WB组),TBI加注溶解红细胞组(LRBC组)和TBI加注压积红细胞组(PRBC组),每组30只。4组均采用自由落体打击法造成大鼠脑外伤。后3组借助立体定向仪分别向伤区脑皮质内注射全血、溶解红细胞或压积红细胞,造成TICH模型。每组于伤后1、3、5d分别处死10只大鼠,5只测伤区脑组织含水量,5只用免疫组化法检测HO-1的表达。结果4组组内比较:TBI、WB和PRBC3组第3d的脑含水量最高(分别为82.85%±0.60%,85.00%±1.12%,84.93%±1.21%),LRBC组第1d的含水量最高(84.44%±0.85%;4组间比较,1d时LRBC组含水量最高,3d时WB和PRBC组含水量最高。在WB、PRBC和LRBC组,HO-1阳性表达的强弱与脑含水量的高低变化相一致。结论红细胞在TICH后迟发性脑水肿的形成中有重要作用,其机制涉及红细胞的降解产物。     

Prostaglandin E1 and dibutyryl cyclic AMP enhance platelet resistance to deformation

The effect of prostaglandin E₁ (PGE₁) on platelets is mediated through the PGE₁ receptor and the consequent maintenance of the platelet's discoid shape. The effects of PGE₁ and dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) on the deformability of human platelets were studied. Deformability tests based upon the micropipette aspiration on the platelets were performed by using pipettes with radii (Rp) of 0.26-0.36 gm. The time course of the extension length (Dp, in μg) of the platelets in response to aspiration with a negative pressure (ΔP) of 5 cm H₂ O (ΔP × Rp = 0.15 dynes/cm) was analyzed. PGE₁ treatment (0.1 μM) resulted in a decrease of platelet deformability as compared with results obtained for apparently non-activated, control platelets. The deformation index, i.e., Dp/Rp (PGE₁ -treated) / Dp/Rp (control), was significantly reduced to 0.90 ± 0.04. DbcAMP treatment also significantly decreased the deformability of platelets and this decrease was dbcAMP dose dependent. In contrast, colchicine- or cytochalasin D-treated platelets increased deformability. PGE₁ -treated platelets had a higher [cAMP]_i than controls. Platelets treated with PGE₁ or dbcAMP showed a reduced [Ca²⁺]i increment induced by thrombin as compared to non-treated controls. These results indicate that PGE₁ and dbcAMP treatment of platelets is accompanied by an enhancement of platelet resistance to deformation. The increased [cAMP]_i and low [Ca²⁺]_i after PGE₁ treatment may limit the rearrangement of cytoskeleton and thus enhance platelet resistance to deformation.     

甘糖酯和胰岛素对体外孵育红细胞变形性的影响

目的：观察甘糖酯及胰岛素对体外孵育红细胞变形性（ＥＤ）的影响。方法：对１２例ＩＩ型糖尿病（ＮＩＤＤＭ）病人（男性６例，女性６例，年龄６０±ｓ１０ａ）取血观察其ＥＤ，并与正常人比较。将红细胞分别与甘糖酯和胰岛素共同孵育２４ｈ观察ＥＤ变化。结果：病人的ＥＤ明显低于正常人。孵育２４ｈ后，ＥＤ进一步降低。但与甘糖酯孵育后ＥＤ较孵育前改善。与胰岛素共同孵育后，ＥＤ较孵育前降低，但较不加药物孵育者降低程度小。结论：甘糖酯在体外可使ＮＩＤＤＭ病人ＥＤ改善。胰岛素的作用较弱。
