目的　探讨碱性成纤维细胞生长因子 (b FGF)在低氧性肺动脉高压发病中的作用。方法　采用酶联免疫吸附法对具有低氧性肺动脉高压的肺心病患者 2 1例、无低氧性肺动脉高压的慢性阻塞性肺疾病 (COPD)患者 2 3例和 2 4例正常人血清 b FGF水平进行检测 ,以多普勒超声心动仪测定肺心病和 COPD患者的平均肺动脉压 (m PAP)。结果　肺心病组 m PAP水平 (33.33± 7.0 3m m Hg)明显高于 COPD组 (13.13± 2 .34mm Hg) ,P<0 .0 0 1;肺心病组血清 b FGF水平 (6 9.84± 16 .2 9pg/m l)明显高于 COPD组 (43.94± 7.5 7pg/ml)和正常对照组(44 .6 4± 6 .31pg/m l) ,P<0 .0 0 1;肺心病血清 b FGF水平与 m PAP之间呈明显正相关 ,r=0 .730 ,P<0 .0 0 1。结论慢性肺心病患者血清 b FGF水平明显升高 ,可能与其慢性低氧性肺动脉高压的形成有一定的关系。     

昆虫色氨酸羟化酶的研究进展

色氨酸羟化酶（tryptophan hydroxylase、TPH）为5-羟色胺（5-hydroxytryptamine，5-HT）合成的限速酶，具有专一性，在组织中含量较低，且具有不稳定性。TPH的活性是5-HT合成的唯一前提，因此它可以作为5-HT能神经元的特异标志，也可以作为5-HT能神经元的一个分化特征。它的存在，住区分神经细胞特征方面比5-HT本身的含苗更有价值。因而近年来TPH迅速成为国际研究的热点和难点之一。本文主要就TPH在昆虫中的存在形式、调节机制及进化地位等方面已取得的研究进展作一简述。

Liposome-mediated transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor cDNA augments survival of random-pattern skin flaps in the rat.

Tissue engineering is an application for gene therapy that is in its infancy. We show that simple liposomal-mediated gene transfer could result in a potentially useful biological effect in the field of wound healing. cDNA encoding the 165 amino acid form of vascular endothelial growth factor complexed to commercially available liposomes was injected into rat skin 1 week before raising a random pattern 3 x 10 cm flap. The flap survival was enhanced by 14 percent, and was accomplished without accessing the arterial inflow of the territory. These results were statistically significant (p<0.002) and reproducible. No adverse effects were seen. Histological analysis of the angiogenesis localized much of the new vessel formation to the area around the hair follicles. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of extracted flap tissue confirmed the presence of the transgene.     

Efficient high-frequency body coil for high-field MRI.

The use of body coils is favored for homogeneous excitation, and such coils are often paired with surface coils or arrays for sensitive reception in many MRI applications. While the body coil's physical size and resultant electrical length make this circuit difficult to design for any field strength, recent efforts to build efficient body coils for applications at 3T and above have been especially challenging. To meet this challenge, we developed an efficient new transverse electromagnetic (TEM) body coil and demonstrated its use in human studies at field strengths up to 4 T. Head, body, and breast images were acquired within peak power constraints of <8 kW. Bench studies indicate that these body coils are feasible to 8 T. RF shimming was used to remove a high-field-related cardiac imaging artifact in these preliminary studies. P41RR13230
