Role of endothelin in the pathogenesis of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive and 2 kidneys 1 clip rats.

The plasma endothelin (ET) level in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and 2K1C hypertension animal models and its vasoconstrictive effect on renal and tail arteries were studied. The results demonstrated that there was no difference in plasma ET level between the hypertensive groups SHR, 2K1C, normotensive control groups Wistar Kyot (WKY) and Sprague Dawley (SD), while the vasoconstrictive effect of ET in SHR was more dominant than in WKY. The EC50 of the renal and tail arteries in SHR (0.8912 +/- 0.1662 x 10(-8) M, 0.6103 +/- 0.0878 x 10(-8) M) was apparently lower than that in WKY (1.77 +/- 0.2991 x 10(-8) M, 1.2267 +/- 0.2502 x 10(-8) M, P less than 0.05), but no difference was found in 2K1C and SD rats. The four groups of animals exhibited no difference of such effects as response to norepine-phrine (NA). The findings suggested that the increased arteriole sensitivity to ET be an important factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension in SHR.

     

人头发自由基检测在口腔颌面部恶性肿瘤诊断中的意义

作者应用电子自旋共振技术（ＥＳＲ）分别对正常人、口腔颌面部良恶性肿瘤、口腔粘膜病患者共３２４例的头发进行自由基测定，并与病理诊断相对照。结果表明，它们的阳性率分别为５．９％，６．１％，８４．５２％及９．１％。其中恶性肿瘤与正常人及良性肿瘤相比较，差别均较显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）。部分恶性肿瘤患者经治疗后，ＥＳＲ饱和功率点后移，上升到临界水准以上（＞１０．０ｍＷ），ＥＳＲ转阴。表明用ＥＳＲ早期诊断恶性肿瘤、追踪疗效具有一定临床价值。作者还结合检测资料对ＥＳＲ在监测肿瘤复发、监视白斑癌变等方面的意义进行了讨论。     

介绍一种不加盖玻片的核酸原位杂交改良法

核酸原位杂交程序中探针和靶基因的加热变性和杂交为整个程序中最重要的环节,目前国内外最常用的方法是在切片上滴加DNA探针溶液后用盖玻片复盖组织,并加胶泥或其他封固剂封闭玻片四周,变性杂交后需拆除盖玻片,这一操作过程易损坏组织切片或出现干片、脱片。作者针对上述情况,对传统的核酸原位杂交方法中的部分程序加以改良,采用不加盖玻片直接在蒸汽中变性方法,经多次实验证明此方法稳定、可靠、简便,结果满意。     

El Tor型霍乱弧菌L型的某些生物学性状

本研究主要对El Tor型霍乱弧菌(Vibrio cholerae biotvpe eltor,EVC)L型的某些生物学特性如生化反应、抗生素敏感性及超微结构等进行了探讨.研究发现EVC不稳定L型的生化性状与EVC流行株的非常相似,而稳定L型则变化很大.抗生素敏感性试验显示EVC稳定L型对某些作用于细胞壁的抗生素的敏感性减弱,而对大多数作用于蛋白质合成的抗生素的敏感性增强.与流行株相比,EVC稳定L型和不稳定L型的超微结构的改变很明显.此外,本文还讨论了产生这些改变的可能机制.     

正常与BPH前列腺生长因子的研究

收集正常的及良性前列腺增生症（ＢＰＨ）的前列腺组织，用细胞培养、同位素掺入法分别测定各例标本的组织液对Ｓｗｉｓｓ３Ｔ３细胞增殖的影响。结果表明，ＢＰＨ组织液促细胞增殖效应为正常前列腺的５倍。正常前列腺组织用硫酸铵分级沉淀、肝素亲和层析、ＮａＣｌ浓度梯度洗脱（收集１．３～１．７ｍｏｌ部分），分离纯化人前列腺生长因子（ｈＰＧＦ）。经ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ鉴定达电泳纯，分子量约为１７０００，纯化约８００倍。所得的ｈＰＧＦ对Ｓｗｉｓｓ３Ｔ３细胞的增殖刺激作用呈现浓度依赖性，ＢＰＨ组织ｈＰＧＦ活性显著高于正常前列腺

Propionic acidemia: report of a case that is successfully managed by peritoneal dialysis and sodium benzoate therapy

Propionic acidemia is a rare hereditary disease which is an autosomal recessive disorder. Defect of propionyl CoA carboxylase results in abnormal accumulation of propionate and its metabolites which interfere the pathway of glycine cleavage and the urea cycle. This organic acidemia is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical and biochemical findings, including recurrent vomiting, difficult feeding, lethargy, hypotonia, metabolic ketoacidosis, hyperglycinemia and hyperammonemia during the acute episodes. We present a male newborn infant who sustained this disorder and was managed successfully with blood exchange transfusion, peritoneal dialysis, supplemented with sodium benzoate and sodium bicarbonate therapy. Urine gas chromatography disclosed significant elevation of propionate and its metabolites which subsided 2 days after peritoneal dialysis. Special designed formula was then given with restriction of protein intake and supplement with sodium benzoate and sodium carbonate. Prenatal genetic counseling is necessary in further pregnancy. Diagnosis can be obtained when propionyl CoA carboxylase activity is low in cultured amniotic fluid cells or chorion villi sample or when there is abnormally high methylcitrate level in amniotic fluid.     

Fatty acid profiles in response to soybean oil lipid emulsion infusions in essential fatty acid-deficient miniature swine

The ability of soybean oil lipid emulsions to affect essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) and plasma fatty acid distribution was studied in neonatal pigs. The test animals were maintained on a fat-free diet prior to administration of lipid emulsion. Plasma and red blood cell (RBC) membrane levels of essential [linoleic (C-18:2 omega 6) and arachidonic (C-20:4 omega 6)] and nonessential [palmitic (C-16, palmitoleic (C-16:1 omega 7), stearic (C-18), and oleic (C-18:1 omega 9)] fatty acids and the triene:tetraene ratio [5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid (C-20:3 omega 9):arachidonic acid (C-20:4 omega 6)] were monitored to ascertain the establishment of EFAD and its correction. Nonessential fatty acids were studied, as these components of lipid therapy have received little attention. Results indicate that soybean oil emulsions are effective in reversing fatty acid profiles found in EFAD, and both essential and nonessential fatty acids are under strict metabolic control.
