SD大鼠肺中降钙素基因相关肽的分布及缺氧对其含量的影响

本研究用免疫细胞化学方法(ABC法)观察了降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)在SD大鼠肺中的分布,缺氧对肺中神经内分泌细胞内CGRP含餐的影响。结果表明:含CGRP的神经纤维分布在肺血管平滑肌层中及其周围、气管-支气管树的粘膜下层;含CGRP的神经内分泌细胞位于气管一支气管树的上皮层、粘液腺中和肺实质内。缺氧不引起火鼠肺的神经内分泌细胞数目改变,但可使这些细胞内的CGRP含量增加。

Urinary excretion of acid-soluble peptides in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

In order to investigate the validity of the hypothesis that acid-soluble peptides (ASP) in urinary excreta can be applied as an index of the protein catabolism of the whole body, we measured the urinary excretion of ASP in 46 normal children and in 18 children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), in which continuous breakdown of skeletal muscle protein is presumed. The mean value of ASP in the children with DMD was significantly higher than that in normal controls. The concentration of ASP was correlated with that of 3-methylhistidine (3MH), which has been proposed as an index of muscle breakdown. This finding indicates that urinary ASP reflects the catabolism of body proteins. No correlation was observed between the concentration of ASP and that of 1-methylhistidine (1MH), which is used as an objective index of meat and fish ingestion. After the administration of bestatin, an inhibitor of leucine aminopeptidase, for 9 months, the urinary ASP concentration of children with DMD increased markedly. This increase is thought to have been directly caused by the bestatin itself. Urinary ASP is therefore apparently a more conveniently applied index of protein catabolism than is urinary 3MH, which requires the application of several restrictions. However, it should not be applied when the effect of bestatin administration is evident.     

Interaction of glucagon with artificial lipid bilayer membranes

The enhancement of fluorescence emission from the tryptophan residue of glucagon, the quenching of that emission with acrylamide and with 5-doxyl and 16-doxyl stearic acid, circular dichroism spectra, the release of 6-carboxytluorescein, and polarized infrared attenuated total reflection (IR-ATR) spectra were used to study the interaction of glucagon with intact lipid vesicles and flat bilayers. Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine bound the peptide only below the main transition temperature, thus confirming earlier results of Epand et al. (1977). However, the peptide is also bound by vesicles of unsaturated lipids above their transition temperature, suggesting an influence of lipid area on the binding process. Circular dichroism showed that binding to such vesicles also increases the helix content of glucagon. The IR-ATR study and a comparison with dynorphin-A-(I-13)-tridecapeptide revealed profound differences in orientation of the two peptides. The dichroic ratios and the derived order parameters indicated an isotropic orientation of the helical segments of glucagon, but did not exclude a principal orientation of the molecules lying flat on the nienibrane surface. In contrast, the axis of the dynorphin helix is clearly oriented normal to the interface. The two peptides also differ in their rates of 6-carboxyfluorescein release, suggesting a deeper penetration of the primary amphiphilic helix of dynorphin A-(I-13) than of the secondary amphiphilic helix of glucagon.     

Intranasal treatment with ovalbumin but not the major T cell epitope ovalbumin 323–339 generates interleukin-10 secreting T cells and results in the induction of allergen systemic tolerance

BACKGROUND: Nasal administration of major peptide T cell epitopes gives contradictory data on the induction of peripheral tolerance. OBJECTIVE: To compare the prophylactic effect of intranasal treatment (INT) on the development of an allergic response, using either ovalbumin (OVA) or its major T cell epitope OVA 323-339 (OVAp). METHODS: BALB/c mice were treated intranasally with OVA or OVAp and subsequently immunized s.c. with OVA. Anti-OVA-specific antibody, T cell proliferation and cytokine responses were analysed. In an adoptive transfer model using OVAp specific TCR transgenic (Tg) T cells from D011.10 mice, in vivo tracking and characterization of transferred T cells in the cervical, inguinal and bronchial lymph nodes (BLN) and in the spleen were determined by FACS analysis. RESULTS: Prophylactic INT with OVA induced T cell tolerance towards subsequent OVA s.c. immunizations, inhibiting OVA specific T cell proliferation, IgE and IgG1 production, in contrast to INT with OVAp, which was unable to induce tolerance. In vivo analysis of transferred OVA-specific TCR Tg T cells showed that INT with OVA induced a preferential activation of T cells in BLN, as opposed to a broad, systemic activation with OVAp. In vivo, OVAp INT led to faster and more sustained cell division cycles than OVA INT. Ex vivo, tolerance to OVA was associated with the generation of IL-10 secreting CD4(+) T cells in BLN of OVA-treated mice only. CONCLUSION: INT with OVA but not with OVAp led to regional (as opposed to systemic) T cell activation and the induction of IL-10 secreting CD4(+) T cells in BLN, potentially critical steps in the induction of T cell-specific tolerance via the nasal route.     

脑利钠肽在评价功能性单心室患者TCPC后心功能中的价值及意义

目的探讨脑利钠肽(BNP)在评价功能性单心室患者行全腔静脉-肺动脉连接术(TCPC)后心功能中的价值及其意义。方法选择2004年4~11月间连续在我科随访的TCPC后患者11例(TCPC组),男7例,女4例;年龄8.2±4.1岁;随访时间2.1±1.6年。按照改良R oss标准对临床心功能评分。采集外周静脉血3m l,用酶标免疫法测定血浆BNP浓度。其中6例同期用磁共振成像(M R I)测定心功能,对BNP做相关因素分析。9人健康儿童作为正常对照(对照组)。结果(1)TCPC组血浆BNP水平为400pg/m l(IQR 200-690),较对照组的110 pg/m l(IQR 90-190)增高(P=0.003);(2)M R I测定结果:TCPC组6例患者舒张期末容量指数为65.76±8.65 m l/m2,收缩期末容量指数为31.90±6.36 m l/m2,心搏出量指数为39.09±11.76 m l/m2,射血分数(EF)为0.52±0.06,心脏指数(C I)为2.38±0.58 L/m in.m2,心肌质量指数为103.49±21.57 g/m2,心肌质量/心室舒张期末容量为1.57±0.24;(3)TCPC组BNP水平与手术时年龄呈明显正相关(r=0.632,P=0.041);BNP水平与上述M R I指标、R oss评分、性别、年龄、脉搏血氧饱和度(SpO2)及主心室类型等因素无关。结论TCPC后近2年神经内分泌系统仍处于应激状态,BNP增高可能与TCPC后特有的血流动力学状态有关;血浆BNP水平不能作为正确评估TCPC后心功能状态的指标。
