早产患者血清粒细胞集落刺激因子的检测及其意义

目的探讨粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)与自发性早产的关系及其对预测早产的可能意义。方法采用ELISA-双抗体夹心法分别对28-34周、34-37周不同孕龄组早产妇女及正常妊娠妇女的血清G-CSF进行检测。结果孕28-34周早产妇女血清G-CSF水平较正常对照组妇女升高(P<0.05)。结论高水平的血清G-CSF与妊娠<34周发生的早产有关,检测妊娠妇女血清G-CSF水平对预测妊娠34周之前发生的早产有重要意义。

Urinary bladder carcinoma producing granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF): A case report with immunohistochemistry

A rare case of urinary bladder carcinoma with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) production was reported. In an 83-year-old female, marked neutrophilia in the peripheral blood decreased from 132,500/mm³ to 3,300/mm³ after tumour resection. The tumour was a transitional cell carcinoma. The serum G-CSF level reduced from 238 pg/ml pre-operatively to normal (60 pg/ml) after the operation. Immunohistochemical investigation of the resected tumour with monoclonal antibody specific for G-CSF revealed positive staining in the carcinoma cells, confirming G-CSF secretion.

The behavioral genetics of colony defense in honeybees: Genetic variability for guarding behavior

Guard honeybees stand at the entrance of colonies and facilitate the exclusion of nonnestmates from the colony. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that genetic variability among individuals in colonies might explain variability in guarding activity. To do this, we cross-fostered honey bees between colonies with high-defensive responses and colonies with low-defensive responses in alarm pheromone tests. Individuals from high-defensive colonies were more likely to guard in their own colonies (controls) than cross-fostered bees from low-defensive colonies. Cross-fostered high-defensive bees also were more likely to guard in low-defense colonies. These results support the hypothesis that interindividual differences in guarding behavior are at least partially under genetic control. A positive correlation between number of guards and response to alarm pheromone demonstrates a link between behaviorally separated components of the overall defensive response.This work was supported by NSF Grant BNS 8605604.     

脐血抗—HPCA—2和Tük3标记的CD34阳性细胞的流式细胞仪比较分析

在标记脐血造血祖细胞表面抗原（ＨＰＣＡ），ＣＤ３４中，比较抗－ＨＰＣＡ－２－ＦＩＴＣ和Ｔｋ３（纯抗体）标记的ＣＤ（３４＋）细胞在流式细胞仪分析中的荧光特征及两种单抗标记的ＣＤ（３４＋）细胞与体外培养的粒单细胞集落形成单位（ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ），红系爆发形成单位（ＢＦＵ－Ｅ），和混合集落形成单位（ＣＦＵ－Ｍｉｘ）的相关性。结果发现脐血有核细胞中，抗ＨＰＣＡ－２阳性细胞占１．０５±０．７２％（ｎ＝１３），Ｔｋ３阳性细胞占２．０６±１．２５％（ｎ＝８），差别显著（Ｐ＜０．０５）。每毫升脐血两种抗体标记的细胞分别为９６．５６±５６．６４和２３１．４０±１６３．９３（Ｐ＜０．０５）。尽管ＨＰＣＡ－２阳性细胞与Ｔｋ３阳性细胞数量呈显著正相关（ｒ＝０．８７５，Ｐ＜０．０１），前者与ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ，ＢＦＵＥ，ＣＦＵ－Ｍｉｘ及集落总数ＣＦＵｓ均呈正相关，而后者仅与ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ，ＣＦＵｓ相关。研究提示在检测造血祖细胞时，用抗－ＨＰＣＡ－２－ＦＩＴＣ代替Ｔｋ３可降低假阳性，获得较好的ＯＤ（３４＋）细胞与ＣＦＵ间的线性关系。     

Physiological neutrophilia of pregnancy is not associated with a rise in plasma granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)

A patient with neutropenia and life-threatening infections secondary to T-γ lymphoproliferative disease, who did not respond to treatment with recombinant human G-CSF (filgrastim), was treated with filgrastim plus cyclosporine A (CyA). The patient achieved a good response in the absolute neutrophil count and subsequently required a dose reduction in the filgrastim. The patient was eventually discontinued from the CyA but continues on filgrastim alone. While on therapy, the large granular lymphocytes disappeared from the circulation and the beta-TCR rearrangement, which was present prior to beginning therapy, became undetectable. The patient had no significant toxicity to the CyA or the filgrastim and he has not experienced any serious infections or required hospitalization. Filgrastim has proven to be relatively nontoxic and of some benefit to patients with this disease and should probably be utilized first when treatment is necessary. However, if improvement is not observed, these findings suggest that a trial of the combination of CyA plus filgrastim may be beneficial.     

Prospective Randomized Study Comparing the Efficacy of Bioequivalent Doses of glycosylated and nonglycosylated rG-CSF for Mobilizing Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells

Thirty patients diagnosed with breast cancer were included in a prospective randomized study comparing the in vivo priming effect of bioequivalent doses of glycosylated (lenograstim) and nonglycosylated (filgrastim) rG-CSF administration. Analysis of the efficacy of equivalent biological doses of both rG-CSFs showed no significant differences either in the mobilization of the subpopulations of PBPC considered (CD34⁺, CD34⁺/38⁻, CD34⁺/DR⁻), the content of such CD34⁺ cell subsets in the leukapheresis product, or the cost of the mobilization and collection procedures between both recombinant molecules. These results suggest that priming with bioequivalent doses of the two commercially available forms of glycosylated or nonglycosylated rG-CSF has a similar in vivo effect on PBPC mobilization.
