钙通道阻断剂异搏定对缺氧性肺动脉高压形成的影响

为考察Ca~( )在缺氧性肺动脉高压形成中的作用,我们观察了钙通道阻断剂异搏定对慢性连续性缺氧大鼠肺动脉压及左右心功能的影响。将动物置于模拟海拔5000m高原的低压舱内,腹腔注射异搏定,剂量为4mg/kg BW,每日两次。实验结果表明:异搏定可以减弱缺氧15天所引起的肺动脉压升高和右心功能加强的程度,对颈动脉压及左心功能无明显影响,提示Ca~( )的跨膜内流是构成缺氧性肺动脉高压形成的重要基础之一。我们还比较了异搏定对缺氧持续时间不同(15天、10天、5天)的大鼠肺循环的影响,并讨论了异搏定发生作用的机制。     

慢性缺氧对肺动脉内皮依赖性和非内皮依赖性舒张反应的影响

本实验用生物测定法观察了模拟海拔5000m高度连续缺氧20d对大鼠肺动脉内皮依赖性和非内皮依赖性舒张反应的影响。结果显示慢性缺氧明显抑制了肺内和肺外动脉对乙酰胆碱、ATP、硝普钠和异丙肾上腺素舒张反应的敏感性和反应性。在浓度为10~(-6)mol/L时,缺氧组大鼠肺内动脉对乙酰胆碱、硝普钠和异丙肾上腺素的舒张反应分别只有对照组大鼠的61.3％、75.9％和61.7％,对浓度为1.8×10~(-5)mol/L的ATP的舒张反应只有对照组大鼠的64.9％。研究表明,ATP和乙酰胆碱主要是通过内皮舒张因子使肺动脉产生内皮依赖性舒张反应,硝普钠和异丙肾上腺素分别通过直接激活血管平滑肌细胞鸟苷酸环化酶和β受体使血管产生非内皮依赖性舒张反应。缺氧同时抑制了肺动脉内皮依赖性和非内皮依赖性舒张反应,提示慢性缺氧可能抑制了正常肺内舒血管活性物质的生理作用。     

吸烟对大鼠肺循环血流动力学及肺血管反应性的影响

本实验用大鼠29只,进行人工通气吸入烟气,初步探讨了吸烟对肺循环的影响。其中7只观察了吸烟对肺循环血流动力学的直接影响,结果表明,吸烟可致右心室收缩压、心输出量下降及心率减慢,肺循环阻力无明显改变。观察22只大鼠吸烟后缺氧所致肺循环血流动力学变化,结果表明,吸烟可使缺氧性肺血管反应降低,而且发生在肺循环血流动力学变化之前。     

Differential Expression of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis Protein Recognized by a Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Murine monoclonal antibodies were produced against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) using standard hybridoma procedures. By a whole cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), one monoclonal antibody (mAb), HB28, demonstrated high level specific reactivity to Mtb. Western blot analysis demonstrated reactivity to a single 65 kDa Mtb protein in the cell wall extract and culture filtrate. HB28 mAb appears to be recognizing a 65 kDa Mtb protein that is over-expressed by Mtb but not other species under certain culture conditions. Differential expression and detection of this protein by HB28 mAb may have potential for diagnostic applications.     

微菌落观察法快速检测和鉴别结核杆菌培养物的研究

将取自肺结核患者的219例痰标本接种匡氏琼脂平板,共分离到112例结核菌生长物。其中培养法104例(92.8％)阳性,微菌落观察法108例(96.4％)阳性,微菌落法阳性率稍高。培养法和微菌落法阳性标本首次检出时间分别为18.6d和11d,微菌落检出时间更短(P<0.01)。常规菌型鉴别方法与微菌落法对结核杆菌菌型鉴别的符合率为99％。

Pleural Fluid Adenosine Deaminase and Lymphocyte Proportion: Clinical Usefulness In the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) and lymphocyte proportion are known to be independently elevated in tuberculous effusions, but are non-specific, and false positive results are frequent. to overcome this problem the combined use of both parameters was prospectively studied in 276 patients with pleural effusion seen at Porto Alegre, Brazil. Using a cut-off level of 40 U/l at 37°C (method of Giusti¹⁹) for ADA activity and lymphocyte proportion of more than 50%, the correct diagnosis of tuberculosis (sensitivity) was made in 90.7% (CI 87.3–94.1%) of 54 patients. A specificity of 97.7% (CI 95.9–99.5%) was recorded. Five false positive diagnoses of tuberculous effusion were made. Five false negative diagnoses were made: three cases with haematogenous tuberculous dissemination with low ADA levels, and two other patients with low lymphocyte proportion. the combined use of ADA activity determination and lymphocyte proportion is a highly efficient diagnostic strategy of low cost, that merits wider use.     

Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa endobronchitis in rhesus monkeys: II. A histopathologic analysis

We have recently established a rhesus monkey model of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) endobronchitis by bronchoscopic instillation of PA-embedded agar beads. All experimental animals developed chronic neutrophilic endobronchitis similar to chronic PA endobronchitis in cystic fibrosis (CF). Histopathologic studies further confirmed similarities to chronic PA endobronchitis in CF, including marked peribronchial inflammation, epithelial damage, presence of degraded cilia and ciliary abnormalities, appearance of PA bacterial clusters, mucosal hyperplasia, goblet cell hypertrophy/hypersecretion, airway obstruction, alveolar abnormalities, bronchiectasis, and fibrosis.     

慢性缺氧对大鼠左右心室功能、心肌肌原纤维Ca~（2＋），Mg~（2＋）－ATP

模拟５０００ｍ中度缺氧时,大鼠右室功能显著加强,而左室功能加强不显著;左右心室肌原纤维Ｃａ２＋,Ｍｇ２＋－ＡＴＰ酶活性下降,肌球蛋白同功酶Ｖ２和Ｖ３百分含量增加,Ｖ１百分含量减少。８０００ｍ重度缺氧时,右室功能减弱,但无统计学意义,左室功能减弱有显著性;ＡＴＰ酶活性和同功酶的变化超过５０００ｍ组。此外,右室ＡＴＰ酶活性与ＰＡＰ呈反比且有显著性,左室ＡＴＰ酶活性与ＣＡＳＰ虽也呈反比但无显著性;右室同功酶Ｖ３百分含量与ＰＡＰ呈正比,左室同功酶Ｖ３百分含量与ＣＡＳＰ不呈比例。上述结果表明,因短期突发严重缺氧引起的心肌供氧不足对左心室心肌的直接损伤作用大于右心室心肌。
