猫延髓背角第Ⅴ层的细胞构筑学研究

本文应用Nissl法,Luxol Fast Blue法及Golgi法对猫延髓尾段背角(三叉神经脊束核尾侧亚核)第Ⅴ层进行了系统的细胞构筑学研究。发现此层中含有大、中、小型神经元,其中中型最多,小型次之,大型最少。依树突分支形态及树突棘的多寡,将第Ⅴ层中的神经元分成辐射状和丛状两大类。前者又可分成锥体型、多极型及“双极型”神经元。其中,锥体型与多极型神经元各包括着有棘的及平滑的两类。本文并结合电生理学、细胞内注射技术及HRP追踪技术的研究结果,对第Ⅴ层中神经元的功能进行了探讨。

IL-10 Secretion and Sensitivity in Normal Human Intestine and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) deficiency in gene knockout mice causes chronic enterocolitis. We hypothesized that inflammation in human inflammatory bowel disease might result from innate alterations in the IL-10 pathway. Serum, supernatants, and mRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMC) derived from inflamed (LPMC-i) and noninflamed colonic mucosa (LPMC-ni) were collected from patients with Crohn's colitis, ulcerative colitis, and controls. IL-10 protein concentrations and IL-10 mRNA were examined in response to PMA/CD3 or PHA stimulation. The response to rhIL-10 was assessed by inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-), IL-6, and interferon-gamma (IFN-) production. Serum IL-10 levels of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients were within the normal range. IL-10 concentrations in supernatants from LPMC-i were significantly lower than from LPMC-ni or PBMC. No difference was seen between samples from ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. IL-10 mRNA was detected in 0/4 LPMC-i samples compared to 1/6 LPMC-ni and 6/6 PBMC. RhIL-10 inhibited TNF-, IL-6, and IFN- synthesis in PBMC. This effect was strongly diminished in LPMC. Disease-specific alterations were not detected. Our data suggest that LPMC derived from inflamed colonic mucosa have a reduced ability to produce and to respond to rhIL-10. A disease-specific alteration in the IL-10 pathway, however, was not found.     

Functional expression of 4-1BB (CD137) in the inflammatory tissue in Crohn's disease

4-1BB ligand (L) expressed on antigen presenting cells (APC) interacts with 4-1BB, expressed on activated T cells and this interaction costimulates T cells to secrete cytokines and to proliferate. We investigated whether 4-1BB/4-1BBL interactions might be involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). In immunohistochemistry, we found 4-1BB expression on lamina propria (LP) cells in inflamed and to a lesser extend in non-inflamed gut tissue from CD patients. mRNA levels for 4-1BB were also elevated in intestinal CD tissue. In contrast, only few 4-1BB-expressing cells were found in inflamed tissue from ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and almost no positive cells were found in control intestinal tissue. 4-1BB expression was better sustained on in vitro activated lamina propria T cells from CD patients compared to controls. Finally, agonistic anti-4-1BB antibody enhanced interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production and proliferation of lamina propria T cells from CD patients. Taken together, our data suggest that 4-1BB/4-1BBL interactions contribute to the persistence of gut inflammation in CD.

Enhanced Depth Imaging of Central Laminar Thickness in Optic Neuropathy: Comparison with Normal Eyes

The purpose of this study was to compare central laminar thickness (LT) among patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), patients with non-GON, and normal subjects using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Enrolled were 57 patients (n = 64 eyes), including 30 women and 27 men. Three groups were identified: GON (n = 18 eyes), non-GON (n = 16 eyes), and control (n = 30 eyes). The GON group comprised eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) (n = 9) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) (n = 9). The non-GON group comprised eyes with demyelinating optic neuritis (n = 9), anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) (n = 2), compressive ON (n = 2), Leber hereditary ON (n = 2), and traumatic ON (n = 1). GON and non-GON groups were further divided into mild, moderate, and severe subgroups. Inclusion in the GON group was based on mean deviations (MDs) of visual fields; inclusion in the non-GON group was based on critical flicker frequency (CFF) responses. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to verify reproducibility of measurements. LTs of GON and non-GON group eyes were thinner than those of control group eyes (p < 0.01); LTs of GON group eyes were thinner than those of non-GON group eyes (p = 0.01). LTs of severe GON subgroup eyes were thinner than those of moderate and mild GON subgroup eyes (p < 0.001; p = 0.024, respectively). LTs of severe non-GON subgroup eyes were thinner than those of mild non-GON subgroup eyes (p = 0.002). These results show that EDI-OCT is valuable for documenting structural abnormalities in optic neuropathy (ON).
