豚鼠小肠EC细胞的免疫细胞化学和银染法的比较研究

本实验利用同一切片标本,在光镜水平上,对豚鼠小肠ＥＣ细胞进行了免疫细胞化学和不同银染法的比较研究。实验结果显示,全部Ｍａｓｓｏｎ－Ｆｏｎｔａｎａ亲银染色阳性细胞均呈ＰＡＰ染色阳性;另一方面,小部分（１５％）Ｇｒｉｍｅｌｉｕｓ嗜银染色阳性细胞却表现为亲银染色和ＰＡＰ染色双阴性。以上结果表明,在显示ＥＣ细胞上,亲银染色具有很高的特异性,因此仍不失为一种经济和实用的方法;嗜银染色显示ＥＣ细胞,尽管其敏感性稍高于亲银染色法,但不具有免疫细胞化学与亲银染色技术那样明显的特异性。     

光照度对豚鼠屈光发育的影响

目的探讨豚鼠在不同光照度照明条件下(10 000,500,5 lx,白色光,色温6000 K)的屈光发育状况,以比较光照度对豚鼠屈光发育的影响。方法 30只3周龄的豚鼠(英国种三色豚鼠),随机分为强光组10只、对照组10只和弱光组10只,分别置于10 000、500、5 lx三种光照度环境下,光照周期为12/12 h(早6:00～晚6:00)。于实验前及光照12周末分别用带状检影计、A超测定仪、角膜曲率计对豚鼠右眼重复进行眼球的生物学测量(包括屈光度、眼轴、角膜曲率)。光照12周结束后处死豚鼠取右眼球行高效液相色谱分析,对不同时间点的组间测量数据采用单因素方差分析,以P<0.05为差异有统计学意义。结果光照前不同组间生物学测量参数差异无显著性(P>0.05)。光照12周后,强光组屈光度为(4.03±1.59)D,同光照前相比发生(0.45±1.65)D的变化,对照组屈光度为(2.15±2.01)D,发生(2.28±0.66)D的变化,强光组同对照组相比远视度数偏高约1.50 D,两者差异有显著性(P<0.05);强光组眼轴增长(0.54±0.10)mm,对照组为(0.76±0.05)mm,强光组较对照组眼轴长度延长较慢,差异有显著性(P<0.05);光照后不同组角膜曲率半径均增加,但组间变化差异无显著性(P>0.05);强光组视网膜多巴胺含量平均为(148.70±22.44)nmol/g,对照组为(44.50±12.45)nmol/g,两者差异有显著性(P<0.001)。光照12周后弱光组较对照组相比,无论是屈光度、曲率、眼轴以及视网膜多巴胺含量均无统计学差异(P>0.05)。结论强光可以引起豚鼠眼球眼轴增长减缓,正视化进展减慢,屈光度数偏远视,弱光对豚鼠的屈光发育没有影响。强光照射后可以引起豚鼠视网膜多巴胺含量增加,可能为强光引起豚鼠正视化进展减缓的机制之一。     

Lymphoid cell kinetics in guinea pigs infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis: tritiated thymidine uptake in gut and allied lymphoid tissue, humoral IgE and hemagglutinating antibody responses, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, and in vitro lymphocyte transformations during primary infections

The kinetics of the lymphocyte responses of Trichostrongylus colubriformis-infected and normal guinea pigs were measured by the in vivo uptake of tritiated thymidine either as dpm ³H/mg tissue or as the percentage change in [³H] -labeled lymphoblasts in autoradiographs of tissue impression smears and sections. The lymphoid response was predominantly a local one centering on the infected area of the small intestine. The greatest lymphocyte reactions as assessed by counts of labeled lymphoblasts occurred in the Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes where the peak responses took place 11 and 6 days after infection, respectively. The local nature of the responses was exemplified by the fact that the mesenteric lymph nodes of the anterior small intestine showed a peak response on the sixth day but the response from the posterior small intestine peaked 7 days later. A similar but less dramatic relationship existed among the Peyer's patches. In addition no labeled lymphoblast response was elicited in the inguinal lymph nodes or cecal lymphoid patches throughout the infection and the first increased responsiveness of the spleen did not take place until after Day 13, by which time the lymphoid proliferations associated with the infected intestine had subsided. Initially, the spleen showed a marked depletion of labeled blast cells during the first 7 days of the infection. This was taken as indicating at the time the infection was being established the export of cells capable of transformation in response to parasite antigen. This was supported by the observation that large numbers of phytohemagglutinin responsive lymphocytes were found in the peripheral circulation at this time. The in vitro responsiveness of peripheral lymphocytes to T. colubriformis antigen was also studied. Positive lymphocyte transformations first occurred 6 days after infection but thereafter declined to the normal level by Day 13; the peak transformation ratio was found 25 days after infection but by Day 38 it had declined to a low but persistently positive level. There was a correlation between the circulation of specifically sensitized cells, probably of thymic origin, IgE antibody titers, and the development of positive dermal delayed hypersensitivity reactions in infected guinea pigs, suggesting a close relationship among these three immunological phenomena.All lymphoblast responses in Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph nodes, and lamina propria of the intestine were completed before the immune elimination of the parasite commenced 10 days after infection. During the first 10 days of infection specifically sensitized lymphocytes appeared and disappeared from the circulation. The loss of circulating sensitized lymphocytes at the time immune elimination of the parasite was taking place in the gut suggested that the sensitized cells were “homing-in” on the local area of infection. After the immune elimination of the parasite had commenced, the level of sensitized lymphocytes and IgE antibodies then increased rapidly in the blood. Evidence from the kinetics of the hemagglutinating antibodies indicated that stage specific antigens occur in T. colubriformis.

Ubiquinone systems of the genus Cladosporium and morphologically similar taxa

Abstract We measured adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in a guinea pig model of Legionella pneumophila infection. Female Hartley guinea pigs were inoculated intraperitoneally with one-quarter of the LD₅₀ dose of L. pneumophila Philadelphia-1 strain. Control groups were inoculated with clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae or Klebsiella pneumoniae . Each group consisted of 5 animals. ADA activity in plasma was assayed calorimetrically before and at various intervals after infection by measuring the amount of ammonia produced after adnosine was added to plasma samples. ADA activity before inoculation was 25.6±6.0 IU/1, it reached 174.4±60.0 IU/1 on day 3 after inoculation of L. pneumophila . ADA activity returned to normal levels on day 14. ADA activity did not increase significantly in guinea pigs infected with the other types of bacteria. These findings suggest that measurement of plasma ADA activity may be useful for the diagnosis of Legionella infection.     

Kinetic Analysis of Leucine-Enkephalin Cellular Uptake at the Luminal Side of the Blood-Brain Barrier of an In Situ Perfused Guinea-Pig Brain

Abstract: The uptake of enkephalin-(5-L-leucine) (Leu-en-kephalin) at the luminal side of the blood-brain barrier was measured by means of an in situ vascular brain perfusion technique in the anaesthetized guinea pig. This method allows measurements of cerebrovascular peptide uptake over periods of up to 20 min, and excludes the solute under study from the general circulation and systemic metabolic influences. A capillary unidirectional transfer constant, K_in, for [tyrosyl-3,5-³H]Leu-enkephalin was estimated graphically from the multiple-time brain uptake data in the presence of different concentrations of unlabelled peptide, and dose-dependent self-inhibition was demonstrated. Analysis of unidirectional influx of blood-borne Leu-en kephalin into the brain revealed Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics in the parietal cortex, caudate nucleus, and hippocampus, with V_max between 0.14 and 0.16 nmol min^?1 g^?1 and K_m ranging from 34 to 41 μM, for the saturable component, whereas the estimated diffusion constant, K_d, was not significantly different from zero. Entry of [³H]Leu-enkephalin was not inhibited in the presence of either a 5 mM concentration of unlabelled L-tyrosine, tyro-sylglycine, and tyrosylglycylglycine, or aminopeptidase inhibitor, bestatin (0.5 mM), suggesting that the saturable mechanism of the tracer at the luminal side of the blood-brain barrier does not involve uptake of the peptide's N-terminal amino acid and/or its tyrosine-containing fragments. The specific δ-opioid antagonist, allyl²-Tyr-AIB-Phe-OH, and μ-opioid receptor agonist, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Me-Phe-NH(CH₂)20H, at concentrations in the perfusate above the K_m value for the saturable transport of Leu-enkephalin, did not affect significantly uptake of [³H]Leu-enkephalin. The present study provides, for the first time, a characterization of the kinetic parameters of the unidirectional uptake of a peptide from the luminal side of the blood-brain barrier     

Ascaris suum and Toxocara canis: Egg extract antigens in guinea pigs and the macrophage migration inhibition test

Guinea pigs immunized with 500 μg of either Ascaris suum or Toxocara canis egg extracts, emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant, were skin tested with both the homologous and heterologous antigens. Cross-reactions were observed in both groups. Migration of macrophages from sensitized animals was more inhibited by homologous than by heterologous antigens. Lymph-node lymphocytes from sensitized animals were stimulated to incorporate [⁸H]thymidine similarly by both antigens.     

Echinococcus granulosus: host lymphocyte transformation by parasite antigens.

Lymphocyte transformation, measured by in vitro tritiated thymidine incorporation, and indirect hemagglutination tests were carried out on hydatid patients and normal individuals using sheep and human hydatid fluid or scolex antigens. The hydatid patients showed statistically significant lymphocyte transformation with human and sheep hydatid fluid or scolex antigens when compared to normal individuals. The indirect hemagglutination tests resulted in high titers of antibody with sheep or human hydatid fluid antigens, while very low titers were obtained with scolex antigens. Unlike in the indirect hemagglutination test, the source of the antigen, scolex or fluid, was not of consequence in the lymphocyte transformation test. Furthermore, there was no correlation between the results of the serologic and lymphocyte transformation tests, since some patients with very high lymphocyte stimulation indices produced low indirect hemagglutination titers and vice versa. Similar results were obtained from rabbits which were immunized with sheep hydatid fluid or scolex extracts. The skin tests were of the immediate type of hypersensitivity reactions. Delayed skin reactions did not occur in spite of the presence of sensitized lymphocytes in the blood of the immunized rabbits.
