华裔科学家研究新型免疫疗法？有望两年内攻克癌症

据英国《每日电讯报》9月20日报道，美国维克森林大学医学院的崔征博士近日在剑桥大学举行的抗衰老会议上公布了他在免疫细胞研究方面的新发现。即在不同人身上提取的免疫细胞在抗癌方面的能力大不相同，疗效可以相差近50倍。[第一段]     

电刺激大鼠尾核头部镇痛的中枢效应—[^3H]—2脱氧...

Sokoloff's 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic technique was used to identify changes of glucose metabolic rate in the rat brain following unilateral stimulation of the head of the caudate nucleus. The results were as follows. The local glucose metabolic rate after noxious stimulation was increased in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area, habenular nucleus, head of caudate nucleus, periaqueductal gray (PAG) and dorsal raphe nucleus (P < 0.05). After stimulating the head of the caudate nucleus, the local glucose metabolic rate of nucleus raphe magnus (rm) and nucleus paragigantocellularis (pgcl) was increased significantly and that of the PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus had a tendency to increase, while stimulation of the head of caudate nucleus could partially abolish the increased glucose metabolic rate in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area and habenular nucleus as induced by noxious stimulation. These results suggest that caudate stimulation is able to depress the activation of some brain structures related to nociception and to activate those related to antinociception. The pgcl, rm, PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus might be the key structures participating in the caudate stimulation produced analgesia.     

关于使用NIH Cetus公司IL-2进行适应免疫疗法研究的状况

Steven A.Rosenberg在1985年12月5日《新英格兰医学杂志》上发表了采用Cetus公司重组IL-2(连锁-2)所进行的适应免疫疗法临床实验结果,对采用常规疗法治疗的25个晚期癌症(黑色素紫瘤、肠癌等等)患者,施以适应免疫疗法,注射IL-2,癌体积缩小了一半以上的11人(其中1人的完全消失)。     

大鼠中脑导水管壁及周围灰质在针刺镇痛时的~3H-5-羟色胺含量变化

本研究用~3H-5-羟色胺作示踪,由大鼠侧脑室注入后用冰冻微观放射自显影和组织固定微观放射自显影平行探讨了针刺镇痛时中脑导水管壁及周围灰质部位5-羟色胺的含量定位变化。研究结果发现,当电针达到镇痛时,在中脑导水管壁及周围灰质部位~3H-5-羟色胺的放射自显影象都呈明显增高,这表明在针刺镇痛条件下,~3H-5-羟色胺可迅速被中脑导水管壁及周围灰质部位摄取和储存,从而提示上述部位与针刺镇痛作用有密切关系。     

冷冻取代和干膜显微放射自显影

显微放射自显影技术已经在生物学研究中得到广泛的应用。但由于常规制片一系列操作中出现有各种溶液的取代更替,从而难以对一些水溶性放射性化合物在组织和细胞内的定位予以确切鉴定,同时放射性化合物     

鸡胚肝乳糖凝集素专一性的研究——SEM-ARG技术的应用

本文利用扫描电镜放射自显影(SEM-ARG)技术研究鸡胚肝凝集素的专一性。该凝集素经乳糖尿素液抽提和离心分离后,再用DE-52纤维素柱和蓝色葡聚糖柱进一步纯化。纯化后的鸡胚肝凝集素用 ¹²⁵Ⅰ标记。以标记的 ¹²⁵Ⅰ-凝集素为探针再标记来自不同组织的细胞。标记的细胞经过放射自显影,用扫描电镜对细胞表面凝集素受体的位点进行直接观察。实验结果表明鸡胚肝凝集素对细胞的凝集作用具有相对的专一性。     

小鼠巨核系祖细胞增殖,分化特性的研究

小鼠骨髓细胞经7d培养后进行细胞形态学观察,可见不同发育阶段的巨核细胞及不同大小的巨核细胞集落。通过计数每个集落中的细胞数,可确定相应祖细胞的有丝分裂能力。结果表明,具有不同有丝分裂能力的祖细胞的体外增殖动力学有所不同。祖细胞的数量与其有丝分裂次数呈负相关(r=-0.986)。进行0、1、2和3次有丝分裂的祖细胞的阿糖胞苷自杀率分别为48.9,58.7,48.0和41.2％;放射敏感性的D_O值(Gy)分别为1.71,1.24,1.03和0.77,D_O值的大小与有丝分裂次数呈负相关(r=-0.958)。经3Gy全身照射后CFU-Meg与CFU-GM的恢复动态过程具有不同特点。     

Chromosomal localization of ribosomal DNA sequences in an apple rootstock using a digoxygenin detection system

A 6kb rDNA probe comprising the 18S coding plus spacer sequences has been hybridized to the metaphase chromosomes of apple rootstock cultivar MM106 demonstrating the localization of ribosomal gene arrays in the vicinity of the telomeric regions of the short arms of chromosomes 6 and 14.The in situ results using digoxygenin labelling coupled to an alkaline phosphatase immunoassay were confirmed by silver staining for NORs and nucleoli.This study demonstrates the feasibility of molecular cytogenetic analysis of very small chromosomes(1.0-2.7μm） of apple.
