冠状动脉支架血流动力学中的几个问题

由于冠状动脉支架介入治疗具有手术创伤小、操作简单、见效快、病人恢复时间短等诸多优点,在治疗心血管动脉粥样硬化或血栓堵塞方面,有逐渐替代外科搭桥手术的趋势。虽然血管支架技术在临床已经有广泛应用,治疗效果也有明显的改善,但是依然存在许多不足需要改进。本文首先回顾了血管支架的发展历程,然后针对血管支架研究中与血流动力学相关的几个待解决的问题进行了论述,以期从血流动力学的角度为血管支架的改进和发展提出建议。

Cloning,Characterization and Primary Function Study of a Novel Gene,Cymg1,Related to Family 2 Cystatins

Cystatins are cysteine proteinase inhibitors,We found two expression sequence tags (ESTs),CA463109 and AV042522,from a mouse testis library using Digital differential display (DDD).By electricalhybridization,a novel gene,Cymgl(GenBank accession No.AY600990),which has a full length of 0.78 kb,and contains four exons and three introns,was cloned from a mouse testis eDNA library.The gene is locatedin the 2G3 area of chromosome 2.The full eDNA encompasses the entire open reading frame,encoding 141amino acid residues.The protein has a cysteine protease inhibitor domain that is related to the family 2cystatins but lacks critical consensus sites important for cysteine protease inhibition.These characteristicsare seen in the CRES subfamily,which are related to the family 2 cystatins and are expressed specifically inthe male reproductive tract.CYMG1 has a 44%(48/108)identity with mouse CRES and 30%(42/140)identity with mouse cystatin C.Northern blot analysis showed that the Cymgl is specifically expressed inadult mouse testes.Cell location studies showed that the GFP-tagged CYMG 1 protein was localized in thecytoplasm of HeLa cells,lmmunohistochemistry revealed that the CYMG1 protein was expressed in mousetestes spermatogonium,spermatocytes,round spermatids,elongating spermatids and spermatozoa.RT-PCRresults also showed that Cymgl was expressed in mouse testes and spermatogonium.The Cymgl expressionlevel varied in different developmental stages:it was low 1 week postpartum,steadily increased 2 to 5 weekspostpartum,and was highest 7 weeks postpartum.The expression level at 5 weeks postpartum was main-tained during 13 to 57 weeks postpartum.The Cymgl expression level in the testes over different develop-mental stages correlates with the mouse spermatogenesis and sexual maturation process.All these indicatethat Cymgl might play an important role in mouse spermatogenesis and sexual maturation.

菹草类胡萝卜素提取物对人肝癌细胞QGY-7703凋亡的影响

分别用含10、20、40、60μmol/L的菹草类胡萝卜素提取物(CEPC)培养液处理人肝癌细胞(QGY-7703)48h、96h和144h,在这三个处理时间各剂量组对肝癌细胞的抑制率平均值范围分别为0.14%-23.07%、39.59%-70.61%和71.65%-87.01%。经10、20和40μmol/L的CEPC培养液处理肝癌细胞24h、48h和72h,用激光扫描共聚焦显微术(LSCM)观察细胞形态,出现了肝癌细胞数量明显减少,细胞体积缩小、皱缩变形,细胞核呈现“新月状”、条状甚至碎片状,细胞核中呈黄色的DNA面积较明显地减小等典型的凋亡细胞形态特征。以流式细胞术分析用CEPC处理肝癌细胞后各时相细胞的百分比,与对照组比较,用10μmol/L和20μmol/L浓度的CEPC处理肝癌细胞48h后,使细胞周期中的G_0/G_1期的细胞比例极显著增加(P<0.01),分别增加了23.8%和35.6%,而在G_2/M期没有明显的变化,在S期则相应减少。用LSCM测定了肝癌细胞内的Ca~(2 )浓度,与对照组比较,经20μmol/LCEPC处理48h后能引起细胞内Ca~(2 )浓度极显著上升(P<0.01),剂量组细胞内Ca~(2 )荧光强度为对照组的1.5倍。以上结果表明CEPC对人肝癌细胞QGY-7703的增殖具有明显的抑制作用,且在一定程度上呈时间-效应和剂量-效应依赖关系。在较短的时间内及使用较小的CEPC剂量能有效地诱导肝癌细胞凋亡,CEPC使肝癌细胞阻滞于G_0/G_1期发生凋亡。CEPC能极显著提高肝癌细胞内的Ca~(2 )浓度,提示Ca~(2 )浓度升高可能是CEPC诱导肝癌细胞发生调亡的重要原因。本项研究结果为进一步研究和开发菹草类胡萝卜素的功能和价值打下了重要基础。     

在自然衰老和诱导条件下棉花悬浮细胞程序性死亡的发生

棉花胚性悬浮细胞在MS 0.1mg/L2,4-D 0.1mg/LKT培养基中培养生长良好,但在不继代的情况下会自然衰老。培养至第17天,细胞生活力开始下降;至第21天可检测到核小体大小倍增的DNA梯(DNALadder)存在。42±3℃热激、10μmol/L喜树碱、20μmol/L串珠镰孢菌毒素和50mmol/L放线菌酮等胁迫诱导可分别引起MS 0.1mg/L2,4-D 0.1mg/LKT培养基中的棉花悬浮细胞发生程序性死亡。在MS 0.1mg/L2,4-D 0.1mg/LKT和MS 0.1mg/LIBA 0.1mg/LKT培养基中悬浮培养的棉花胚性细胞处于不同的生理状态,两种不同状态的棉花悬浮细胞对热激、喜树碱、串珠镰孢菌毒素等胁迫因子的反应不同。     

Recurrent CNVs disrupt three candidate genes in schizophrenia patients

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disease with complex etiology, affecting approximately 1% of the general population. Most genetics studies so far have focused on disease association with common genetic variation, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), but it has recently become apparent that large-scale genomic copy-number variants (CNVs) are involved in disease development as well. To assess the role of rare CNVs in schizophrenia, we screened 54 patients with deficit schizophrenia using Affymetrix's GeneChip 250K SNP arrays. We identified 90 CNVs in total, 77 of which have been reported previously in unaffected control cohorts. Among the genes disrupted by the remaining rare CNVs are MYT1L, CTNND2, NRXN1, and ASTN2, genes that play an important role in neuronal functioning but--except for NRXN1--have not been associated with schizophrenia before. We studied the occurrence of CNVs at these four loci in an additional cohort of 752 patients and 706 normal controls from The Netherlands. We identified eight additional CNVs, of which the four that affect coding sequences were found only in the patient cohort. Our study supports a role for rare CNVs in schizophrenia susceptibility and identifies at least three candidate genes for this complex disorder.     

淮南地区新元古代九里桥组叠层石成礁过程及其影响因素

淮南地区新元古代九里桥组中段灰岩中发育有形态多变的叠层石礁体,具有与显生宙生物礁相似的相分异特征,基底、礁核、盖层、礁前、礁后、礁翼等不同微相可以明确区分,定殖期、拓殖期、泛殖期和衰亡期等不同造礁阶段的叠层石柱体变化特征明显。该组叠层石礁体自下而上分别为分散分布的小型丘状礁体、连绵分布的大型丘状礁体和分散分布的小型丘状礁体或透镜状礁体,该变化趋势指示了九里桥组沉积时期海平面先升高后降低的变化趋势,结合该组沉积期沉积环境变化特征可将该组叠层石礁体划分为风暴环境型礁体、海进环境型礁体和海退环境型礁体三种类型。对九里桥组沉积学、古生物学等研究表明,该组沉积时期造叠层石生物与其它生物之间存在较强的生存竞争关系,但更能适应风暴沉积环境,叠层石在该组沉积晚期的消失很可能与以海平面变化为特征的沉积构造环境变化有关。     

鳞片状细胞癌抗原Ⅰ与乙型肝炎病毒的结合受反应位点环域疏水性的影响

鳞片状细胞癌抗原Ⅰ (SCCA1)是丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂 (serpin)超家族的成员 ,具有多种变异体。有报道其中的两种(BP和AJ515706 )能通过乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV)的前S1抗原促进表达SCCA1的细胞与HBV的结合。本研究从HepG2细胞中扩增出的一株SCCA1(A1)却不具备HBV结合能力。将A1的C末端与BP的C末端互换 ,获得的A1-BP能够结合HBV ,而BP-A1却不能。A1与BP的C末端仅有 3个氨基酸的差异 ,其中 2个位于反应位点环域。一级结构分析发现在该区域内 ,A1的疏水性较弱 ,而BP和AJ515706的疏水性较强。将A1的aa349位的弱疏水性的谷氨酸突变为强疏水性的缬氨酸 ,则可获得HBV结合能力。反之 ,将BP同一位点的缬氨酸突变为谷氨酸 ,则会丧失HBV结合能力。这些结果提示SCCA1与HBV的结合受反应位点环域的疏水性的影响。
