Changes of Intestinal Caicitonin Gene-related Peptide in Acute Intestinal Radiation Sickness in Rats

The characteristic distribution of calcitonin gone-related peptide(CGRP)inthe small intestine of rats and its changes in acute intestinal radiation sickness(AIRS)were studied with immunocytochemistry(whole mount stretch preparations of the smallintestine and cryostat sections)and radio-immunoassay.It was found that in all the lay-ers of the intestinal walls,there were large amounts of CGRP immunoreactive(CGRP-I)nerve fibers which existed in especiaUy high density in the myenteric,submucosal andmucosal plexuses.There was also a rather high density of the nerves around the smallvessels of the small intestine and the intestinal crypts.Some CGRP-I neurons were seenin the myenteric and submucosal plexuses.In AIRS,the intestinal CGRP showed a dip-hasic change,in a lower level in the 24th h and a higher level in the 48th and 72nd h af-ter irradiation.The results indicate that CGRP may be related to the regulation of the motility,se-cretion,absorption,sensation,and regional blood flow of the gastrointestinal tract.Pro-bably,CGRP is released under the stress of AIRS and participates in the mechanism ofinjury through many ways especially through the influence on the regional blood flowand the increase of the permeability of blood vessels.     

雌激素对左心室舒张功能影响的多谱勒超声心动图研究

目的:研究雌激素对左心室舒张功能的影响。材料和方法:利用多谱勒超声心动图记录了25例健康绝经后妇女二尖瓣口血流频谱,其中15例为雌激素替代治疗组,10例为对照组。所测参数有:舒张早期峰值速度(E),舒张晚期峰值速度(A),E加速度及减速度,并计算E/A比值及心房舒张晚期充盈分数(AFF)。结果:二组间左心室舒张期充盈明显不同,尤其是替代治疗组E/A比值高,AFF低,替代治疗组舒张早期充盈量大于对照组。结论:本研究表明长期雌激素替代治疗可以影响左心室舒张功能。

CT-guided stereotactic injection of radionuclide in treatment of brain tumors.

140 patients with brain tumor were treated by CT-guided stereotactic injections of radionuclides, such as Aurum-198 (198 Au), Phosphorus-32 (32 P) and Yttrium-90 (90Y). Of these patients aged from 3 to 67 years (average 37), 64 were male and 76 female. Astrocytoma was found in 75 patients, craniopharyngioma in 46, metastatic carcinoma in 7, meningioma in 5, germinoma in 4 and pituitary adenoma in 3. The tumors were located in the deep part or functionally critical area of the brain. After 267 times of injection of colloidal isotopes, no major adverse effects or complications occurred. Follow-up for 6 to 48 months showed improvement in symptoms in 104 (74.3%) patients and CT scanning showed the diminished tumors.

     

自制新荧光剂EPQS的性能测试

作者对自制新荧光剂EPQS进行了性能测试。结果:量子产率为0.21;最大激发波长和荧光波长分别为375nm和484nm,stokes位移109nm;检测生物化合物常用的缓冲溶液对荧光峰位无影响,对荧光强度影响很小;温度的影响也小(18～43℃,FRI61.5～58.1),PH的影响也不大。说明EPQS不仅荧光参数好,而且稳定性也好。适合在较广泛的环境条件下使用。

乌司他丁对严重烧伤患者伤后早期心肌损害的防治作用

目的观察乌司他丁（UTI）对烧伤“休克心”的防治作用，探讨其可能的机制。方法选择笔者单位收治的伤后24h内入院、烧伤面积〉50％TBsA的34例特重度烧伤患者，分为烧伤组和UTI治疗组，每组17例。两组患者均进行常规治疗，且UTI治疗组患者入院后立即给予UTI10万U静脉滴注，3次／d，连续7d。于两组患者伤后2、4、7d采血，检测其血浆中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶（PMN elastase）、心肌肌钙蛋白I（cTnI）含量和心肌型肌酸激酶同工酶（CK—MB）活性，以公认的各指标正常值作参考，并对3项指标进行相关性分析。结果（1）伤后2、4、7d，两组患者血浆PMN elastase及cTnI含量均显著高于正常值（P〈0．01）；UTI治疗组与烧伤组比较，两指标偏低。（2）与正常值比较，伤后2、4、7d烧伤组患者CK—MB活性明显升高（P〈0．01），第4天达高峰；UTI治疗组伤后2、4d CK—MB活性明显高于正常值（P〈0．05或0．01），但与烧伤组比较升幅较小，第7天降至正常值水平（P〉0．05）。（3）34例烧伤患者PMN elastase、cTnI含量及CK—MB活性三者间均呈现显著正相关，前两者的相关系数为0．904，后两者的相关系数为0．922，PMN elastase含量与CK-MB活性的相关系数为0．829（均为P〈0．01）。结论UTI能够显著减轻严重烧伤患者心肌损害的程度，有效抑制PMN elastase的过度释放。     

Optical nano-imaging for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers]

Development of in vivo animal imaging instrumentations and methods contributes to the early diagnosis of cancer. Of variable imaging modalities, in vivo optical imaging such as bioluminescence and fluorescence is one of the best methods to measure molecular change of cancer cells. High sensitivity and relatively low cost of optical method gives benefits to apply for translational research in the field of cancer. Nano-probes to label and detect early cancer cells have been developed by nano-chemists and molecular imaging researchers. Quantum dots made from fluorescent semi-conductors show good advantages in term of imaging probes; high quantum yields, large molar extinction coefficients, size-dependent tunable emission and high photostability. To detect a gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, newly developed endoscopes have been used. Among them, near infrared fluorescence endoscope and confocal endomicroscope are good candidates for clinical application. In animal studies, successful results to detect cancer in gastrointestinal tract have been obtained. Prospect of nanoparticles as optical imaging moiety is promising to detect GI cancers if their toxicity is minimized. Future fluorescence confocal endoscope with safe cancer targeting nanoparticles will be useful for the detection and treatment of GI cancers.
