化学治疗肿瘤患者的健康宣教

抗癌药物能抑制恶性肿瘤的生长和发展,并在一定程度上杀灭肿瘤细胞.但是任何抗癌药物对人体都具有毒性,在肿瘤细胞与正常细胞之间无明显选择性,即在杀灭或抑制肿瘤细胞的同时也损伤相当数量的正常细胞,并直接影响心、肝、肾以及神经系统功能等.对于增殖活跃、代谢旺盛的细胞如骨髓细胞、胃肠粘膜上皮细胞、生殖细胞的损伤尤为严重.另一方面,多数抗癌药物都是免疫抑制剂,作用在细胞DNA的结构上,它们有潜在的致畸和致癌作用.随着接受化疗药物患者寿命的延长,远期毒性如脑病、肠麻痹、骨坏死、第二个肿瘤等现象也时有发生,对化学治疗肿瘤患者进行针对性的健康宣教是非常必要的.     

三尖杉酯碱诱导的HL-60细胞凋亡的钙调节

三尖杉酯碱 (harringtonine ,HT)是一种对急性粒细胞白血病、急性单核细胞白血病有良好疗效的抗癌药物 ,可在很宽的剂量范围内迅速诱导HL -6 0细胞凋亡 .细胞外钙离子螯合剂EGTA不抑制抗癌药物HT、喜树碱 (campothecin ,CAM )诱导的-细胞凋亡 ;而细胞内Ca ²⁺螯合剂BAPTA AM却可抑制该过程 .与此相一致 ,HT和CAM也不能诱导胞内Ca ²⁺已排空的HL -6 0细胞凋亡 ,说明HT ,CAM诱导的HL- 6 0细胞凋亡依赖于胞内Ca ²⁺但是HT ,CAM诱导HL -6 0细胞凋亡过程中胞内自由Ca ²⁺浓度变化不大 .利用视频反差增强显微术 (videoenhance mentcontrastmicroscopy ,VEC)研究了单个HL- 6 0细胞凋亡过程中胞内Ca ²⁺分布的动态变化 ,结果表明HT诱导HL -6 0细胞凋亡过程存在胞内Ca ²⁺由胞质向核的位移 .     

双硫仑抗癌作用研究进展

双硫仑作为一种治疗慢性酒精中毒的药物在临床中广泛使用。近几十年研究发现它除了戒酒作用还在治疗癌症中具有巨大潜力,针对它在体外和体内模型的研究结论已有部分在临床治疗中得到证实。双硫仑通过其代谢产物抑制乙醛脱氢酶活性导致体内乙醛含量积累,增加细胞毒性从而抑制肿瘤干细胞增殖分化;提高细胞内活性氧的浓度诱导细胞凋亡;抑制蛋白酶体活性,积累大量废弃蛋白质诱导细胞凋亡;通过抑制NF-κB下调来抑制上皮间质转化等。此外双硫仑与抗癌药物联合使用可提升抗癌药物药效。由于具有低毒、低成本且对肿瘤组织有趋向性等特点,双硫仑重新应用于临床作为抗癌药物具有广阔前景。简要回顾了双硫仑最新研究中阐明的双硫仑抗癌作用分子机制,展望了未来双硫仑用作新临床抗癌药物的前景,以期为双硫仑在抗癌药物中的应用研究提供参考。

耐性真菌HA吸附铅、锌的影响因素及吸附机理研

【目的】从铅锌矿区分离筛选出耐铅锌性菌株,并研究其吸附铅、锌的影响因素及吸附机理,为重金属污染微生物修复提供参考。【方法】以从铅锌矿区筛选出的耐铅锌真菌HA作为试验菌株,考察影响其对铅、锌去除能力的主要因素(初始浓度、pH、接种量),同时通过等温吸附模型、动力学分析及红外光谱分析探讨其相关的吸附机理。【结果】经鉴定,从矿区筛选的对Pb2+、Zn2+有较强耐性的菌株HA为米曲霉(Aspergillus oryzae);在初始铅、锌浓度的实验范围内(100-800mg/L),HA对铅、锌离子的去除率随着其初始浓度增加而减小,25h后HA的生长进入平稳期,且对铅、锌离子的去除率趋于稳定。当铅、锌初始浓度为100mg/L、pH为5.0时,HA对铅、锌离子的去除率均达到最高,分别为97.8%、54.1%;当HA接种量为1mL时,其对铅、锌去除率的增长率达到最大。HA对铅、锌的吸附过程满足Langmuir吸附模型,其吸附以单层吸附为主。在动态吸附过程中,HA对Pb2+、Zn2+离子吸附性能与准二级动力学吸附方程的拟合程度更高,且对Pb2+的吸附效果明显高于Zn2+。红外光谱分析表明,HA细胞中羟基、烷基、酰胺基、羰基、磷酸基等参与了Pb2+、Zn2+的吸附过程。【结论】HA是一株对铅、锌有较强吸附能力的真菌,其吸附铅、锌影响因素及吸附机理研究结果将为重金属污染微生物修复提供指导。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
