铜蓝蛋白、鳞状细胞癌相关抗原与慢性肾功能衰竭的关系及对病情进展的预测价值研究

摘要 目的：分析铜蓝蛋白（CER）、鳞状细胞癌相关抗原（SCCA）与慢性肾功能衰竭的关系及对病情进展的预测价值。方法：选择我院自2019年4月至2021年4月接诊的169例慢性肾功能衰竭患者作为研究对象,根据24 h尿白蛋白定量分为微量白蛋白尿组（＜200 mg/24 h,102例）和大量白蛋白尿组（＞200 mg/24 h,67例）。比较两组各项实验室指标及血清CER、SCCA水平,分析CER、SCCA与慢性肾功能衰竭患者肾功能指标的关系。随访12个月,观察病情进展,使用受试者工作特征曲线（ROC）评价血清CER联合SCCA对病情进展的预测效能。结果：大量白蛋白尿组血清肌酐（Scr）、血尿素氮（BUN）水平均明显高于微量白蛋白尿组,肾小球滤过率（GFR）低于微量白蛋白尿组（P＜0.05）;大量白蛋白尿组血清CER、SCCA水平均高于微量白蛋白尿组（P＜0.05）;经Pearson相关性分析,慢性肾功能衰竭患者血清CER、SCCA水平均与Scr、BUN呈正相关,与GFR呈负相关（P＜0.05）;经多因素Logistic回归分析,GFR、CER、SCCA均是慢性肾功能衰竭患者病情进展的独立预测因素（P＜0.05）;经ROC曲线分析,血清CER联合SCCA预测慢性肾功能衰竭患者病情进展的AUC为0.925,明显大于GFR的0.620（P＜0.05）。结论：血清CER、SCCA水平与慢性肾功能衰竭患者肾功能呈负相关,联合预测病情进展效能较好,值得临床予以重视应用。     

慢性牙周炎患者血清CGRP、PGE2、CCL20与牙周临床指标和Th17/Treg失衡的相关性分析

摘要 目的：探究慢性牙周炎患者血清降钙素基因相关肽（CGRP）、前列腺素E₂（PGE₂）、CC趋化因子配体20（CCL20）与牙周临床指标和辅助性T淋巴细胞17/调节性T淋巴细胞（Th17/Treg）失衡的相关性。方法：选取2020年5月-2022年5月海南省妇女儿童医学中心收治的91例慢性牙周炎患者,根据其严重程度分为轻度组（39例）、中度组（36例）、重度组（16例）,比较三组血清CGRP、PGE₂、CCL20、牙周临床指标[出血指数（BI）、探诊深度（PD）、附着丧失（AL）、菌斑指数（PLI）]、外周血Th17细胞比例、Treg细胞比例、Th17/Treg比值,采用Pearson相关分析血清CGRP、PGE₂、CCL20与牙周临床指标和Th17/Treg失衡的相关性。结果：与轻度组比较,中度组、重度组血清CGRP、Treg细胞比例显著降低（P＜0.05）,血清PGE₂、CCL20、BI、PD、PLI、AL、Th17细胞比例、Th17/Treg比值显著增高（P＜0.05）;与中度组比较,重度组血清CGRP、Treg细胞比例显著降低（P＜0.05）,血清PGE₂、CCL20、BI、PD、PLI、AL、Th17细胞比例、Th17/Treg比值显著增高（P＜0.05）。相关性结果提示,血清PGE₂、CCL20水平与BI、PD、PLI、AL、Th17细胞比例、Th17/Treg比值呈正相关（P＜0.05）,与Treg细胞比例呈负相关（P＜0.05）;血清CGRP水平与BI、PD、PLI、AL、Th17细胞比例、Th17/Treg比值呈负相关（P＜0.05）,与Treg细胞比例呈正相关（P＜0.05）。结论：慢性牙周炎患者血清CGRP、PGE₂、CCL20水平与疾病严重程度、牙周临床指标及Th17/Treg失衡显著相关,血清CGRP、PGE₂、CCL20可能通过影响Th17/Treg平衡参与慢性牙周炎的发生和发展。     

Chronic ethanol administration decreases fatty acyl-CoA desaturase activities in rat liver microsomes

The Δ⁹-desaturase system in liver microsome from rats treated chronically with ethanol was studied. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity decreased by 80% and palmitoyl-CoA desaturase activity was not detectable in microsomes from ethanol-fed rats, while activities of electron transport components such as NADH-cytochrome c and NADH-ferricyanide reductases remained unchanged. However, chronic ethanol administration resulted in an adaptive induction of the activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and the contents of cytochrome b₅ and P-450. The activity of the terminal component (cyanide-sensitive factor; CSF) of the desaturase system was greatly depressed by ethanol treatment. The NADH/NAD ratio in microsomes of ethanol-fed rats increased over 2-fold. These results suggest that, during chronic ethanol ingestion, decreased activities of Δ⁹-desaturases are due mainly to a decreased content of the terminal component of the desaturase system.     

Alterations in Cortical [3H]Kainate and α-[3H]Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazolepropionic Acid Binding in a Spontaneous Canine Model of Chronic Hepatic Encephalopathy

Excitatory amino acid receptor binding parameters were investigated in a spontaneous dog model of chronic hepatic encephalopathy. L-[3H]Glutamate, (+)-[3H]-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-im ine maleate ([3H]MK-801), [3H]kainate, and alpha-[3H]-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid ([3H]AMPA) binding experiments were performed using crude cerebrocortical synaptosomal membrane preparations from dogs with congenital portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) and control dogs. There was no change in the affinity or density of L-[3H]-glutamate or [3H]MK-801 binding sites in dogs with congenital PSE compared with control dogs. However, in the PSE dogs there was a significant reduction in the density of [3H]kainate binding sites compared with control dogs and abolition of the low-affinity [3H]AMPA binding site. The relative binding capacity of PSE synaptosomal membranes for [3H]kainate and [3H]AMPA was expressed as the ratio Bmax/KD. There was a significant inverse correlation between the Bmax/KD ratio for [3H]AMPA binding and the worst grade of encephalopathy experienced by each dog. These results suggest that there is a significant perturbation of cerebrocortical non-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor binding in dogs with congenital PSE which may have relevance to the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy.     

病毒唑及其与干扰素联合对慢性乙型肝炎抗病毒效应观察

本文报道了病毒唑及其与干扰素联合对23例慢乙肝近、远期抗病毒效应观察结果,并与12例未经抗病毒治疗的慢乙肝作对照(Ⅲ组),其中病毒唑与干扰素联合组(I组)12例,病毒唑组(Ⅱ组)11例。近期HBeAg、DNAP及HBV·DNA阴转率,I组分别为(41.6％、55.5％及28.s％,Ⅱ组45.4％、100％及33.3％,Ⅲ组8.3％、16.6％及8.3％。远期HBeAg及DNAP阴转率在I组分别为70％、83.7％。Ⅱ组60％、100％,Ⅲ组8.3％,50％。综合抗病毒效应,近期有效率在I、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组分别为50％、72.7％及16.6％。远期则分别为70％、55.5％及8.3％。无一例出现毒副反应。均完成疗程。上述结果提示病毒唑及其与干扰素联合对慢乙肝均有一定抗病毒效应,联合应用并不优于单一用药,但毒副反应也未见加重,而且病毒唑药源较方便,使用较安全,值得进一步研究。     

慢性扁桃体炎与细菌L型感染

通常认为,慢性扁桃体炎主要致病菌是金黄色葡萄球菌和乙型溶血性链球菌。通过50例慢性扁桃体炎的病原微生物培养、组织切片细菌学及电镜等研究,发现慢性扁桃体炎组织中细菌L型也相当常见,L型培养阳性率是88.5％,且组织切片L型感染率与培养阳性率基本一致(P>0.05)。电镜在扁桃体组织间质及上皮细胞、淋巴细胞等多种细胞内均见到细菌L型。提示慢性扁桃体炎与细菌L型感染关系极为密切。并认为,L型侵入组织并在宿主细胞内生长的特性,可能是慢性扁桃体炎反复发作、迁延不愈的重要原因。     

Protoplast isolation and fusion in Porphyra (Bangiales,Rhodophyta)

Two sediment sampling campaigns were conducted in 1978 and 1988 in Lake Geneva (Switzerland). Organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and its various forms were analyzed. Results indicate a stability of organic carbon and nitrogen mass, and a significant increase of phosphorus. The variation of phosphorus mass is related to the increase of nonapatite inorganic phosphorus. This study attempts to quantify the phosphorus exchanges at the water sediment interface. The dissolved oxygen level in the bottom water determines the exchange direction. In aerobic conditions, sediments accumulate the excess of phosphorus, while in anaerobic conditions, they constitute an internal source.     

Increased Salsolinol Levels in Rat Striatum and Limbic Forebrain Following Chronic Ethanol Treatment

Abstract: Endogenous levels of salsolinol and its methylated metabolite were measured by combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry in rats chronically exposed to ethanol for 150 days. The chronic ethanol administration produced a significant increase of salsolinol concentrations in dopamine-rich brain areas, e.g., the striatum and the limbic forebrain. A negative correlation was observed between plasma ethanol concentration and the level of salsolinol in the brain. A possible role for salsolinol in the regulation of ethanol drinking and/or in the development of ethanol dependence is discussed.     

Effect of phospholipid vesicles on the activity of terminal transferase.

The terminal transferase activity is modified in the presence of lipid vesicles. A deep inhibitory effect takes place with phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol, while some stimulation is present with sphingomyelin and almost no effect has been detected with phosphatidylethanolamine vesicles. These effects seem to be related to the charge properties of the lipid membranes.A possible involvement of phospholipids in the mechanism of action of the terminal transferase is suggested.
