围体外循环期血小板保护的研究进展

在体外循环过程中,血小板可经各种途径被激活,导致α-颗粒释放,发生粘附、聚集、收缩、释放等反应,导致术后血小板数量和质量的下降。通过在围体外循环期使用某些药物可对血小板进行功能性保护,而血小板分离技术可使血小板避免体外循环的打击,得到数量和功能的双重保护。本文将就体外循环期间血小板保护的研究进展作一综述。     

L—精氨酸L—门冬氨酸盐对血小板功能的抑制

用血小板聚集、粘附、释放实验和出血时间测定观察L-精氨酸*L-门冬氨酸盐(DR)对血小板功能的作用。实验结果显示DR15mg/kg静脉给药,可明显抑制腺苷二磷酸(ADP)诱导的大鼠血小板聚集(P<0.01);15mg/kg单次口服给药可明显抑制ADP诱导的家兔血小板聚集;其药效可持续8h以上(P<0.01);DR7.5、15、30mg/kg灌胃给药(Bid×3.5d),可明显抑制ADP、胶原或凝血酶诱导的大鼠血小板聚集(P<0.01),并延长出血时间(P<0.05)。DR30mg/kg可明显抑制大鼠血小板粘附,并促进血管内皮释放前列环素(PGI2),但对活化的血小板释放血拴素(TXA2)无明显影响。本研究发现,DR可抑制血小板聚集和粘附功能,其作用机制不同于阿司匹林。这些作用部分是由于DR增加了血管内皮PGI2的释放。此结果为血小板功能的调节提供了新线索。     

肺泡巨噬细胞对豚鼠气道平滑肌张力的调控

经调理酵母多糖(OPZ)刺激的大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞培养上清液可松弛豚鼠离体气管肌条,上清液中PGE_1增加,表明PGE_1是肺泡巨噬细胞松弛气管肌条的介质之一。经OPZ激活的肺泡巨噬细胞培养上清液与豚鼠血小板作用后,其松弛效应被逆转为收缩效应,提示可能由于肺泡巨噬细胞分泌血小板活化因子激活血小板,使释放收缩介质所致。肺泡巨噬细胞借助所分泌的介质经常性地调节气道阻力,对肺通气具有保护意义。     

一种快速、灵敏的血小板释放功能检测方法及其在抗血小板药物研究中的应用

本文报道了一种快速、灵敏的血小板释放功能检测方法:利用荧光素-荧光素酶在有ATP、Mg~(2+)、O_2存在时产生的生物发光素测定血小板ATP的释放量,以反映血小板的释放功能;研究了ADP、AA、胶原、凝血酶等四种诱导剂对血小板释放功能的作用,发现ADP的诱导释放能力较其他三者为弱;观察在不同剂量ADP和AA的诱导下,血小板聚集强度和释放能力之间的关系,研究了血小板数等因素对ATP释放功能测定的影响。应用该方法研究了Aspirin及活血化淤药物川芎嗪,毛冬青甲素对血小板释放功能的影响,发现Aspirin对AA诱导的释放反应有强烈的抑制作用。在以ADP诱导的释放反应中,川芎嗪的抑制作用较毛冬青甲素更为强烈。     

血小板生成研究进展

血小板生成,即血小板颗粒由巨核细胞释放,进而在外周血逐步成熟的过程。随着解析血小板功能多样性以及高效再生策略的需求,对于血小板生成过程的全面认知显得尤为重要。然而,以往研究大多聚焦在造血干祖细胞和巨核细胞分化阶段,对于后期血小板生成过程的了解相对较少。该文对血小板生成过程中血小板形态、分子特征、功能的动态变化以及调控机制等进行了系统梳理,以期为理解血小板功能多样性、转录组异质性以及体外再生策略等方面提供新的思路。     

内毒素对人血小板聚集,释放的体外作用

大肠杆菌 O55B5内毒素在体外可抑制人血小板自发性聚集,并使血小板内 cAMP、钙调素明显增高,但对肾上腺素诱发的血小板聚集无作用,也不能引起血小板致密颗粒和α-颗粒的释放。此外还观察到内毒素组无血小板上清液中5-HT 含量减少。     

急性心理应激下血小板活化参数的变化及其机制探讨

目的:探讨急性心理应激下健康人群血小板活化参数的变化及其与性别、年龄的相关性,并分析其可能的机制。方法:检测54名健康被试者急性心理应激前后的血小板四项变化,包括血小板计数(PLT)、血小板平均体积(MPV)、血小板分布宽度(PDW)和大血小板比率(P-LCR)。随后,将被试者分成男、女性组或中、老年组,对其血小板四项结果进行组内及组间比较。结果:急性心理应激可导致健康人群中MPV、PDW和P-LCR的显著增加(P0.05),但年龄分组或性别分组组间均未见显著差异(P0.05)。结论:实验性急性心理应激可导致健康人群血小板活化指标MPV、PDW和P-LCR的显著增加,但与年龄和性别无关。     

血小板功能负性调控机制

在血液循环系统中,血小板在抑制因子的作用下,处于静息状态。当机体出血或外界因素刺激时,血小板活化,产生聚集、黏附和释放反应,释放出二磷酸腺苷(ADP)、花生四烯酸(AA)、血小板活化因子和5-羟色胺等物质,招募更多的血小板黏附于出血处,从而启动凝血过程,发挥止血作用。当止血反应完成后,血小板发生解聚,恢复到静息状态。然而,在病理条件下,血小板的内在解聚能力下降,形成过度活化的血小板,产生病理性血栓,导致急性缺血性心血管疾病的发生。临床使用抗血小板药物控制血小板的活化,治疗急性缺血性心血管疾病。然而,目前临床上常用的抗血小板药物发挥抗血小板活化作用的同时,影响了血小板正常的生理性止血作用,产生出血等副作用。因此,我们需要研发新型抗血小板药物,使其既能发挥抗血小板作用,又能减少出血等副作用。本文将对血小板负性调控机制进行综述,为进一步研究抗血小板药物提供思路。     

血小板内游离钙和cAMP在实验性动脉粥样硬化进程中的变化

血小板激活后,其粘附、聚集和释放功能异常在动脉粥样硬化(AS)发病机理中占有重要地位。然而,血小板活性在AS不同病理阶段的变化规律罕见报道。本项研究目的在于阐述实验性AS进程中血小板内游离钙([Ca~(2 )]_i)和cAMP浓度的变化规律,为适时和正确应用抗血小板药物防治AS提供一定的理论参考。     

体外液体培养体系中生成的血小板性能观察

应用液体培养法培养小鼠骨髓细胞获得了比较稳定且有一定数量血小板生成的培养体系。培养3、5、7、9d时体系中的血小板数均高于接种时。在培养7d时可见巨核细胞生成血小板的现象,~(35)S掺入也证实体外有血小板生成。这些体外生成的血小板形态功能基本正常,其直径为1—5μm,新生成的血小板体积较大。无论体积大小,其活动性均稍强于正常。这些体外生成的血小板具有正常粘附功能,2×10~(-4)mol/L ADP可诱导出单波聚集。体系中血小板及巨核细胞生成量稳定且与接种细胞数呈正相关,提示可将其应用于巨核系生成调控的研究。进一步增加并稳定血小板生成量可使此体系更有效地应用于血小板形态、功能及生成调控的研究。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
