新疆伊犁五个少数民族的近亲结婚

1983年4月至1984年5月,对新疆伊犁哈萨克自治州五个民族的近亲结婚情况进行了调查。调查的婚姻数为维吾尔2553起,哈萨克1079起,回1235起,锡伯1222起,蒙古446起。近亲结婚率与平均近交系数分别为:维吾尔——8.23％与 46.74×10~(-4),回——8.10％与45.07×10~(-4),锡伯——4.66％与24.93×10~(-4),哈萨克——2.87％与11.31×10~(-4)。蒙古——0.45％与 2.80×10~(-4)。解放以来,维吾尔族与回族的近亲结婚率有上升趋势,而锡伯族的则有下降趋势。各族近亲结婚中大部分为亲表亲结婚,但堂亲结婚在维吾尔族的近亲结婚中竟占26.18％,在回族中也占16.00％。1303名近亲结婚子女中的七岁前死亡率(12.89％)及先天性缺陷与遗传性疾病发生率(2.99％)显著高于6370名非近亲结婚子女的相应值(7.65％及0.38％)。     

The effect of metabolic acidosis on the synthesis and turnover of rat renal phosphate-dependent glutaminase.

Regulation of the mitochondrial phosphate-dependent glutaminase activity is an essential component in the control of renal ammoniagenesis. Alterations in acid-base balance significantly affect the amount of the glutaminase that is present in rat kidney, but not in brain or small intestine. The relative rates of glutaminase synthesis were determined by comparing the amount of [35S]methionine incorporated into specific immunoprecipitates with that incorporated into total protein. In a normal animal, the rate of glutaminase synthesis constitutes 0.04% of the total protein synthesis. After 7 days of metabolic acidosis, the renal glutaminase activity is increased to a value that is 5-fold greater than normal. During onset of acidosis, the relative rate of synthesis increases more rapidly than the appearance of increased glutaminase activity. The increased rate of synthesis reaches a plateau within 5 days at a value that is 5.3-fold greater than normal. Recovery from chronic acidosis causes a rapid decrease in the relative rate of glutaminase synthesis, but a gradual decrease in glutaminase activity. The former returns to normal within 2 days, whereas the latter requires 11 days. The apparent half-time for glutaminase degradation was found to be 5.1 days and 4.7 days for normal and acidotic rats respectively. These results indicate that the increase in renal glutaminase activity associated with metabolic acidosis is due primarily to an increase in its rate of synthesis. From the decrease in activity that occurs upon recovery from acidosis, the true half-life for the glutaminase was estimated to be 3 days.     

Randomised controlled trial of computer assisted management of hypertension in primary care.

The hypothesis that general practitioners would obtain better outcomes for patients with hypertension using a computer than doctors not using a computer was tested. Sixty family physicians were randomised to two treatment strategies. "Test" physicians completed a data collection form after each visit from a patient with hypertension and mailed the forms to the test centre for processing. Computer feedback on management was mailed to the doctors. This encouraged doctors to apply the "stepped care" protocol, supplied charts of diastolic blood pressure v time, and ranked patients'' diastolic blood pressures by percentile. Letters were mailed to patients to remind them of appointments. "Control" doctors filled out the same data collection forms as test physicians, but neither doctors nor patients received computer feedback. Physicians who used the computer saw more patients per practice than control doctors (test 50 patients, control 40). For all patients the length of follow up was significantly longer in test practices (test 199 days, control 167), and a smaller percentage dropped out of active treatment in test practices (test 37.5%, control 42.1%). For patients with "moderate" hypertension of a baseline diastolic pressure of greater than 104 mm Hg the mean score of the last recorded pressure was below the goal of 90 mm Hg in test practices (88.5 mm Hg), but it failed to reach this goal in control practices (93.3 mm Hg). A greater average reduction of diastolic pressure was achieved in test practices (test 21.7 mm Hg, control 16.7 mm Hg). Though patients with "moderate" hypertension were better controlled in test practices than in control practices, the patients in test practices visited their doctors less often (test 13.3 visits per patient-year, control 17.4 visits). Among patients with newly detected hypertension test practices achieved a greater reduction in diastolic pressure than control practices (test 15.1 mm Hg v control 11.3 mm Hg) and more sustained control of hypertension (test 323 days per patient-year with a diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or less v control 259 days).     

硬头鳟巨噬细胞的体外长期培养(简报)

鱼类的巨噬细胞和高等脊椎动物的一样,在吞灭入侵的病原体方面起着极其重要的作用。探索在体外长期培养巨噬细胞的方法,有助于研究巨噬细胞的机能。Braun-Nesje等虽已从硬头鳟(Salmo gairdneri)等鲑科鱼类的头肾中分离出大量的巨噬细胞,并在体外培养了3个月之久,但因细胞不分裂,无法传代。本研究改用组织块培养法和饲养层技术探索长期培养巨噬细胞的方法,并获得成功。迄今巨噬细胞已在体外培养22个月,传代48次。细胞的原代培养分为三组。前两组是单独的脾或头肾的组织培养;第三组是脾与头肾的混合组织培养。培养液是Leibovitz’s L-15,外加20%胎牛血清,100 IU/ml青霉素和100μg/ml链霉素。巨噬细胞的吞噬活力用酵母菌Candida     

单克隆抗体γ3重链可变区cDNA的合成与克隆

用异硫氰酸胍法从分泌单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞中提取总RNA,经oligo(dT)-纤维素柱亲和层析获得poly(A)~ RNA后,用恒定区5′端第122—125号氨基酸密码的互补序列3′A-T-A-G-G-T-G-A-C-C 5′做为引物,进行逆转录酶反应,合成双链cDNA,大小为300bp左右,与重链可变区基因的长度相符。用dC:dG接尾的方法,将ds-cDNA插入pUC19质粒,转化E.coli HB101。分离出重组体之后,经菌落原位杂交,酶切重组质粒DNA及Southern印迹,证明插入片段是重链可变区基因。     

大叶杨配囊及胚珠的形成和发育

本文应用细胞化学方法研究了大叶杨胚珠、胚囊的形成和发育过程中核酸、蛋白质及不溶性多糖的分布和消长。大孢子母细胞、大孢子四分体及功能大孢子中含较少不溶性多糖,但却含丰富的RNA和蛋白质。功能大孢子经分裂发育成八核的蓼型胚囊。四核胚囊开始积累细胞质多糖,成熟胚囊中除反足细胞外充满淀粉粒。反足细胞形成后不久即退化。助细胞具多糖性质的丝状器,受精前两个助细胞退化。卵细胞核对Feulgen反应呈负反应。二极核受精前由胚囊中部移向卵器,与卵器接触后融合形成次生核。发育早期的胚珠为厚珠心,双珠被。晚期,内珠被退化,故成熟胚珠为单珠被。四核胚囊时期,珠孔端珠心组织退化,胚囊伸向珠孔形成胚囊喙。合点端珠心组织含丰富的蛋白质和核酸,这一性质与绒毡层性质相似,可能涉及胚囊的营养运输。胚囊的营养来源于子房和胎座细胞内贮存的淀粉粒。
