正常人及胃癌患者胃蛋白酶原C基因多态性研究

以ＰＧＣ３０１为探讨，对１０例胃癌组织及１１例正常人体组织基因组ＤＮＡ中胃蛋白酶原Ｃ基因的ＥｃｏＲ Ｉ限制性片段长度多态性作了观察分析。发现在正常人体有三种常见等位片段，分别为２０ｋｂ、５．７ｋｂ及３．６ｋｂ；一种稀有片段，３．５ｋｂ。在胃癌患者，未发现与正常人体不同的等位片段。但是，稀有片段及稀有杂交带型的出现频率高于正常组。这一结果对深入探讨胃蛋白酶原Ｃ基因稀有片段及稀有杂交带型对胃癌的诊断价     

维甲酸改变人肝癌细胞表面N－糖链的结构及其酶学机制

用３Ｈ－甘露糖标记７７２１人肝癌细胞表面糖蛋白的Ｎ－糖链，经提取和去唾液酸后，用ＣｏｎＡ和ＤＳＡ亲和柱顺序层析将３Ｈ－标记的Ｎ－糖链分成４个类型和天线数不同的组分来研究维甲酸（ＲＡ）对细胞表面Ｎ－糖链的影响。结果：１０μｍｏｌ／ＬＲＡ处理细胞３～５ｄ后，可使Ｃ２Ｃ２二天线复杂型Ｎ－糖链增加，而高甘露糖型及三、四天线，特别是带有Ｃ２，６分支结构的复杂型Ｈ－糖链减少。用ＬＣＡ亲和柱还证明二天线糖链中的核心岩藻糖也减少。进一步发现上述改变的酶学机制是ＲＡ降低Ｎ－乙酰氨基萄葡糖转移酶Ｖ和α－１，６－核心岩藻糖转移酶的活力。结论：ＢＡ通过改变某些糖基转移酶活力而改变细胞表面糖链结构，这可能是ＲＡ使７７２１细胞诱导分化的机理之－。     

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。     

气功对冠心病人CM_5ST段/心率斜率的影响

37名冠心病患者随机分为气功治疗组(22人)和对照组(15人)。气功治疗组接受12周动功治疗,对照组接受安慰剂治疗,治疗前后均测定CM_5 ST段/心率斜率。结果发现动功治疗组CM_5 ST段/心率斜率减少,而对照组不变或增大,两组有显著性差异,ST段下移及常规分级运动试验其它指标在两组间无显著差异。表明CM_5ST段/心率斜率是一个敏感的心肌缺血指标。     

神经生长因子几丁质管修复兔面神经缺损

目的：评价神经生长因子(nerve growth factor，NGF)几丁质管在修复兔面神经缺损中的作用。方法：在16只新西兰兔的两侧面神经上颊支上分别造成8mm缺损，左侧用管腔内注入NGF的几丁质管修复，右侧用自体神经移植修复作对照。术后8周和16周分别取8只动物进行电生理和组织学检查及计算机图像分析。结果：术后8周，实验组的再生神经已通过近远中吻合口，神经纤维密集成束；术后16周，再生神经纤维的数量增加，神经纤维束增粗，形态接近于正常神经。电生理检测和图像分析显示实验组和对照组的神经传导速度和有髓神经轴突总截面积均无显著差异(P＞0．05)。结论：NGF几丁质管可为免面神经缺损提供良好的修复环境。

Loss of cables, a novel gene on chromosome 18q, in ovarian cancer.

Cables, a cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) interacting protein, has recently been identified and mapped to human chromosome 18q11. Cables appears to be primarily involved in cell cycle regulation and cell proliferation. Overexpression of Cables in Hela and other cell lines inhibits cell proliferation and tumor formation. We hypothesize that loss of Cables expression is associated with ovarian cancer. To test our hypothesis, we examined Cables expression in the four most common subtypes of ovarian carcinomas: serous, endometrioid, mucinous, and clear cell. In addition, mucinous and serous borderline tumors were also included. Loss of Cables expression was observed at high frequency in ovarian serous (11 of 14 cases, 79%) and endometrioid (5 of 10 cases, 50%) carcinomas. In contrast, strong Cables staining was detected in all clear cell carcinomas (10 cases) and mucinous tumors (5 carcinomas and 5 borderline tumors). The majority of serous borderline tumors (11 of 14 cases, 79%) showed positive Cables staining, with the rest showing focal loss of Cables expression. Furthermore, RT-PCR revealed the lack of Cables mRNA in a human ovarian cancer xenograft. No correlation was noted between loss of Cables and histologic grade, tumor stage, and survival. In conclusion, our results indicate that loss of Cables is common in ovarian serous and endometrioid carcinomas and imply that Cables may be involved in the pathogenesis of these two types of ovarian carcinomas.     

The liver first pass effects and bile concentrations of (-)-, (+)- and (+/-)-praziquantel in rabbits

Praziquantel (PQT) is a racemic mixture. Intragastric gavage of (-)-, (+)- and (+/-)-PQT 100 mg/kg were used to study the liver first pass effects in rabbits. HPLC was used to determine the concentration of each compound in the portal and systemic circulation, and in the bile within 4h. The results showed that all drugs were absorbed rapidly from the gut into the portal vein. The serum concentration in the portal vein were similar. However, over 90% of PQT and its enantiomers were extracted in the first passage through the liver. Intrinsic metabolic clearances of the liver of (-)-, (+)- and (+/-)-PQT were 50.3, 174.4 and 52.6 L/h, respectively. The serum concentrations of the three drugs markedly decreased in the systemic circulation, especially that of (+)-PQT. The AUC of (+)-PQT was apparently lower than that of (-)- or (+/-)-PQT. From these results, it is assumed that the first pass effects of PQT and its enantiomers in the liver are pronounced and most likely stereoselective. Also, unchanged PQT and its enantiomers were found in the bile of the rabbits.
