Effects on Fertility of Rabbits After Active Immunization With Rat Testicular Cytochrome ct

ABSTRACT: A Male rabbit was immunized with rat testicular cytochrome (Cyt) c_t and mated with normal, unimmunized females. The matings resulted in abnormal pregnancies: no offspring or stillborn or undersized liveborn offspring weighing 25–30 gm each. Another unusual observation was that fur-pulling behavior, normally exhibited by pregnant female rabbits at the end of the gestational period, was absent in all of these pregnancies. Therefore, immunization of a normal rabbit with testicular cyt c_t appeared to interfere with physiological and behavioral aspects of pregnancy in normal female rabbits. The immunological basis of these findings remains to be determined.     

HLA-DR4 SUBTYPE AND -B ALLELES IN DQB1*0302-POSITIVE HAPLOTYPES ASSOCIATED WITH IDDM

We determined the distribution of DR4 subtypes in 309 DQB1*0302-positive haplotypes found in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients and 70 control haplotypes present only in healthy family members. An increased frequency of DRB1*0401 allele (74.4% vs. 55.7%, P = 0.003) and a decrease of DRB1*0404 allele (23.6% vs. 40.0%, P = 0.0064) was revealed. A further analysis of extended haplotypes demonstrated strong linkages between various B alleles and DRB1*04 subtypes. HLA-B39 was more frequent in DRB1*0404–DQB1*0302-positive IDDM haplotypes compared with control ones (37.0% vs. 14.3%, P = 0.049), suggesting an involvement of the region telomeric to HLA-DRB1 in the susceptibility to IDDM.     

自发性高血压大鼠肾脏血管紧张素转换酶2 mRNA转录及其蛋白表达

目的 观察不同月龄自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)肾脏血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)mRNA转录及其蛋白表达,初步探讨ACE2在高血压发生、发展过程中的可能作用.方法 雄性SHR 1月龄组(S1)、2月龄组(S2)、3月龄组(S3)、6月龄组(S6)和9月龄组(S9)共5组,每组各6只,各组均有相应月龄匹配的Wistar-Kyoto(WKY)大鼠作对照.采用RBP-Ⅰ型大鼠血压心率测定仪测量大鼠尾动脉收缩压(SBP);逆转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)法检测肾脏ACE2 mRNA的转录水平;免疫组化染色结合计算机图像分析方法 测定肾脏ACE2蛋白的表达水平.结果 1)SHR的SBP随着月龄的增加而上升,6月龄后趋于稳定.2)SHR和WKY肾脏ACE2蛋白和mRNA水平均随着月份的增加而增加,3月龄时达高峰,6月龄后趋于稳定;且SHR肾脏ACE2蛋白和mRNA水平均低于同龄的WKY.S1肾脏髓质内侧部ACE2免疫染色阳性面积百分比较皮质和髓质外侧部高,与1月后的分布相反.结论 1)SHR肾脏ACE2 mRNA和蛋白的表达水平比WKY大鼠低.2)大鼠肾脏ACE2 mRNA和蛋白的表达具有时间和部位分布上的差异.     

Prospective evaluation of a prostacyclin-sparing aspiring formulation and heparin/warfarin in aspirin users with unstable angina or non-Q wave myocardial infarction at rest

The aim of this trial was to compare the efficacy of combinationantithrombotic therapy with a prostacyclin-sparing aspirin plusanticoagulation versus conventional aspirin plus anticoagulation,when added to antianginal therapy, in patients with unstableangina or non-Q wave myocardial infarction already being treatedwith aspirin. In a double-blind (for the aspirin) study, 144prior aspirin users were randomized; 72 patients received controiled-release,prostacyclin-sparing aspirin 75 mg daily plus anticoagulation(intravenous heparin followed by warfarin to maintain the internationalnormalized ratio at 2–3), and 72 patients received conventionalaspirin 75 mg daily plus the same anticoagulation. Controlled-releaseaspirin was formulated to preserve endothelial cell prostacyclinsynthesis. Trial therapy was begun by 13.2 ± 12.3 h ofqualifying pain, and continued for 12 weeks. The frequency of recurrent angina with electrocardiographicchanges, myocardial infarction, or death, was analysed by intentionto treat. At 12 weeks, events were     

肺隔离症17例手术治疗分析

目的：探讨肺隔离症的手术治疗方法和效果。方法回顾性分析该院在2003年3月-2014年3月间收治的17例肺隔离症患者的临床资料。结果①该组17例患者中,术前确诊者13例;术中确诊4例;②采用肺叶切除术对患者进行治疗,全部痊愈,无1例死亡;③术后并发症的发生率为17.64豫(3/17),经对症处理后均缓解;④术后随访6个月~10年,复查X线胸片和CT,结果显示均正常。结论肺隔离症是临床中比较少见的肺先天性畸形,临床表现无特异性,易发生误诊和漏诊,临床中以肺叶切除术治疗为主,效果良好,值得临床推广。     

隐性高血压病人中心动脉压及增强指数

目的探讨“隐性高血压”与中心动脉压及动脉硬化的关系。方法采用脉搏波分析仪记录89例临床诊断为血压正常(偶测血压<140/90 mm Hg)及75例高血压(偶测血压≥140/90 mm Hg或正在服用降压药物者)患者的桡动脉脉搏波,经计算机自动转换为相应的中心动脉脉搏波,并分析中心动脉压力及反映全身动脉硬化的增强指数(AIx)。结果小样本人群中,隐性高血压的患病率为15.7%。与血压正常(偶测血压<140/90 mm Hg及白昼动态血压<135/85 mm Hg)组相比,隐性高血压组的血浆总胆固醇及低密度脂蛋白胆固醇浓度、饮酒的比例显著增高;中心动脉收缩压、舒张压、收缩末期压及中心动脉增强压分别增加14.8 mm Hg(CI5.6~24.0 mm Hg)、9.1 mm Hg(CI3.1~15.1 mm Hg)、14.0mm Hg(CI5.8~22.2)及4.2(CI0.6~7.8 mm Hg),增强指数增加11.9%(CI2.8%~20.9%)。虽然隐性高血压组的偶测血压显著低于高血压组,经年龄、性别及身高调整后,两组的白昼动态血压、中心动脉收缩压、舒张压、增强压及增强指数均无显著差异。结论隐性高血压患者的中心动脉压力及增强指数升高,提示动脉顺应性下降,动脉硬化。这些血液动力学的改变可能增加心血管病危险,对其进行评价有助于偶测血压正常者的危险分层。     

多发性骨髓瘤患者症状群管理研究进展

多发性骨髓瘤（multiple myeloma,MM）是起源于浆细胞的恶性骨髓增殖性疾病。近年来随着新药的出现,MM患者的预后有了极大改善,但由于疾病进展和治疗的毒副作用仍存在症状负担大、生活质量差等问题。症状群是指同时存在2个及以上相互关联且同时出现的症状组合,目前症状管理领域已由单一症状管理转变为症状群管理。本文总结了MM患者的症状群种类、评估工具以及症状干预现状,以期为优化MM患者症状群的识别与管理提供参考,减轻患者症状负担。
