欧芹素乙和异欧芹素乙对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外释放肿瘤坏死因子的抑制作用

研究了欧芹素乙（Ｉｍｐｅｒａｔｏｒｉｎ，Ｉｍｐ）和异欧芹素乙（Ｉｓｏ－ｉｍｐｅｒａｔｏｒｉｎ，Ｉｓｉ）及对照药物维拉帕米（Ｖｅｒａｐａｍｉｌ，Ｖｅｒ）对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外释放肿瘤坏死因子（Ｔｕｍｏｒｎｅｃｒｏｓｉｓｆａｃｔｏｒ，ＴＮＦ）的影响。结果表明：Ｉｍｐ、Ｉｓｉ及Ｖｅｒ对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞体外释放ＴＮＦ具有显著的抑制作用。药物浓度在１０－６～１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ范围内，该抑制作用呈剂量依赖性：药物浓度达１０－４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时，则可完全抑制ＴＮＦ的释放。     

Serum Levels of Free Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I in Normal Children

Serum levels of free insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I were measured by immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) in fasting sera of 137 normal boys and 120 normal girls aged from 8 to 15 yr to study relationships between free IGF-I levels and ages, total IGF-I, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-1, IGFBP-3, and acid-labile subunit (ALS) levels. In both sexes, serum free IGF-I levels and the ratios of free IGF-I to total IGF-I were significantly higher in the pubertal age groups than in the prepubertal age groups. Serum levels of free IGF-I showed a significant positive correlation with those of total IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and ALS, while they showed a significant negative correlation with those of IGFBP-1. These observations suggest that increase in serum free IGF-I levels during puberty is caused by a dramatic increase in total IGF-I, rather than IGFBP-3, and a decrease in IGFBP-1. Also, high free IGF-I levels may play an important role in pubertal growth spurt.

EF-Tumt和EF-Tsmt在实验性癫痫大鼠脑内的表达

目的：了解线粒体功能与癫痫发病之间的关系。方法：建立大鼠癫痫持续状态模型，应用免疫组织化学法观察在癫痫发作时，大脑皮质、海马和纹状体中线粒体蛋白质翻译延长因子Tu和Ts表达的变化。结果：(1)在大脑皮质和海马中，EF-Tumt表达随癫痫发作时间延长而增加。在癫痫发作后4h时EF-Tumt的表达数量达到最高值，在48h时其表达又下降。在大鼠纹状体中0．5、4和48h表达均升高。(2)大脑皮质和海马中的EF-Tsmt表达随癫痫发作时间的延长而增加，在癫痫发作后4h达到最高值，48h又有所下降。纹状体中的EF-Tsmt表达则一直呈上升趋势。结论：癫痫持续发作可导致大鼠有关脑区线粒体蛋白质的合成功能增强。     

Polymorphisms in ADAM33 are associated with allergic rhinitis due to Japanese cedar pollen

BACKGROUND: A recent report provided evidence that a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 33 (ADAM33), a member of the ADAM family, is a novel susceptibility gene in asthma linked to bronchial hyper-responsiveness. However, there has been no investigation of the genetic role of ADAM33 variants in nasal allergy. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the association between ADAM33 polymorphisms and Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCPsis), a most common seasonal allergic rhinitis in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a case-control association study among a Japanese population, involving 95 adult individuals with JCPsis and 95 normal healthy controls. A total of 22 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ADAM33 were genotyped using PCR-based molecular methods. RESULTS: Six SNPs of ADAM33 gene, three in introns (7575G/A, 9073G/A and 12540C/T) and three in the coding region (10918G/C, 12433T/C and 12462C/T), were strongly associated with JCPsis (P = 0.0002-0.022 for absolute allele frequencies) and most of the SNPs were in linkage disequilibrium with each other. A higher frequency of the common alleles of these SNPs was noted for the subjects with JCPsis in comparison with healthy controls. We also identified a haplotype associated with the disease susceptibility. In addition, associations were found between ADAM33 polymorphisms and various cedar pollinosis phenotypes including clinical severity, eosinophil counts in nasal secretion and allergen-specific IgE levels in sera, but not total serum IgE levels. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that polymorphisms in the ADAM33 gene are associated with susceptibility to allergic rhinitis due to Japanese cedar pollen, but the functional relationship still needs clarification.     

正常人颈段脊柱结构内CGRP和SP阳性神经纤维的分布

目的 为深入探讨颈肩痛的发病机理。方法 用免疫组织化学方法观察人颈段脊柱结构内CGRP和SP阳性神经末梢存在的情况。结果 人颈段脊柱结构的纤维层内均有CGRP和SP免疫反应阳性神经末梢存在，多数神经末梢独立行走，呈树枝状或念珠状，少量神经末梢交织网状。结论 CGRP和SP可能参与了人颈段脊柱结构的伤害性感觉信息的传递。当人颈段脊柱结构的神经末梢受刺激时，可能引起CGRP和SP的释放和传递，这可能是引起原发性颈肩痛的原因之一。
