乌脑龟垂体显微及其腺垂体超微结构的研究

乌龟脑垂体由柄形神经垂体和椭圆形腺垂体两部分组成,神经垂体位于腺垂体后部上方呈背腹型排列。神经垂体中神经叶不发达,腺垂体分为远侧部和中间部,特殊空泡结构成为垂体门脉系统的特征。远侧部细胞分为嗜酸性细胞、嗜碱性细胞和嫌色细胞3种。通过透射电镜观察,腺垂体远侧部主要有5种分泌激素细胞：即生长激素（GH）分泌细胞、催乳激素（PRL）分泌细胞、促甲状腺激素（TSH）分泌细胞、促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）分泌细胞、促性腺激素（GTH）分泌细胞和非分泌类型滤泡．星形细胞（Fs）。生长激素分泌细胞核大、分泌颗粒少的特征成为乌龟与其他动物最大的区别,可能与乌龟具有生长慢、寿命长的生物学特性有关。     

垂体瘤微环境免疫细胞浸润与肿瘤侵袭性的相关性研究

目的:探讨垂体瘤免疫微环境中免疫细胞浸润情况及其与垂体瘤侵袭性的相关性。方法:选取35例垂体瘤病理组织切片,通过免疫组化染色分析巨噬细胞、T细胞以及中性粒细胞的特异性标记蛋白CD68、CD4、CD8和MPO的表达情况。结合临床和影像学数据分析,分析生长激素腺瘤、泌乳素腺瘤和无功能腺瘤的侵袭性与免疫细胞浸润数量的相关性。结果:在15例生长激素腺瘤,10例泌乳素腺瘤和10例无功能性腺瘤患者中,侵袭性垂体瘤中有更多的巨噬细胞浸润(P分别为0.014,0.032和0.032)。侵袭性促生长激素腺瘤、泌乳素腺瘤和无功能性腺瘤巨噬细胞浸润数量均明显多于非侵袭性促生长激素腺瘤、泌乳素腺瘤和无功能性腺瘤(P0.05)。结论:在垂体腺瘤中,巨噬细胞是肿瘤免疫微环境的主体。巨噬细胞浸润可能促进垂体瘤的进展。

乙酰胆碱对三种人垂体腺瘤细胞增殖及凋亡的影响

为了解乙酰胆碱（acetylcholine,ACh)在人垂体腺瘤发生、发展中的作用,本研究首先观察了人垂体腺瘤细胞内是否存在合成ACh必需的胆碱乙酰转移酶,并应用MTT实验、[^3H]TdR掺入实验、细胞周期分析和TUNEL法测定了ACh对体外培养的人垂体无功能瘤、催乳素瘤和生长激素瘤等三种瘤细胞增殖和凋亡的影响。结果发现：（1）三种垂体腺瘤细胞中均有胆碱酯酶的表达,但明显少于正常垂体;（2）ACh对三种类型的人垂体腺瘤细胞增殖代谢的影响相类似,不同浓度的ACh能明显抑制体外培养的三种人垂体腺瘤细胞的增殖,呈明显的剂量效应关系,同时ACh能减少垂体腺瘤细胞进入S、G2期的细胞比例,而使处于G1期的细胞比例增加;（3）ACh的这种作用可被阿托品阻断,但不受筒箭毒的影响;（4）ACh对体外培养的三种人垂体腺瘤细胞凋亡无明显影响。该结果提示,ACh可能以旁分泌或自分泌的方式作用于垂体前叶细胞,对垂体腺瘤细胞增殖分化有调控作用,而且是通过ACh M受体来实现的。     

MiR-26a在人垂体腺瘤组织及血清中表达的研究

目的：miRNA遍及生命体的发生、发育、分化和死亡的过程。它在肿瘤、心血管、糖尿病等多种疾病的各个阶段中起到调控癌基因作用。miRNA在垂体腺瘤中异常表达,且影响垂体腺瘤的增殖、侵袭及凋亡情况。本研究通过探讨miRNA家族中的miR-26a在垂体腺瘤组织及血清中的表达变化情况,为垂体瘤的早期诊断及疗效监测提供依据,以便更好的指导临床诊断及治疗工作。方法：收集哈尔滨医科大学附属第四医院微创神经外科手术切除并经病理证实的垂体腺瘤20例,取其组织及采集血清标本：年龄在20-74岁（平均50岁）,术前均未进行任何治疗。既往无内分泌疾病的正常死亡人的垂体组织及其血清标本20例作为对照组。采用实时定量聚合酶链式反应（Real-timePCR）方法分别检测垂体腺瘤病人和正常人组织及血清中的miRNA-26a的表达情况。用SPSSl3．0统计分析软件运用Mann—WhitneyU检验方法对数据进行统计学分析。结果：miRNA-26a在垂体腺瘤组织中的表达量为22．30,正常垂体组织中的表达量为23．38,垂体腺瘤患者血清中miRNA-26a的表达表达量为25．04,正常对照组血清中的表达量为24．95,垂体腺瘤组织中的表达较正常垂体组织中的表达明显升高（P〈0．05）,垂体腺瘤患者血清与正常人血清中miRNA-26a的表达无明显差异（P〉0．05）。结论：垂体腺瘤组织中miRNA-26a的高表达与血清学检测miRNA-26a的正常表达,为预防脑垂体腺瘤的发生和发展提供了重要的临床诊断依据。     

发现绵羊垂体分泌的新激素——促肾素

现在已清楚许多激素,包括生长激素、促肾上腺皮质激素、胰岛素、雄激素、甲状腺素、糖皮质激素和盐皮质激素,在增加器官重量、RNA和蛋白质合成、DNA合成和有丝分裂活性以及鸟氨酸脱羧酶活性方面能促进肾生长。除了这些促进肾生长的激素以外,Nicholson等证明,还有一种绵羊垂体分泌的多肽片断能促肾增大,其依据是这一因子能增加经阉割并切除垂体的大鼠肾重量。经生化分析这一多肽片断主要由LH组成,不含生长激素、促肾上腺皮质激素、γ-促脂解激素、加压素和催乳素,而仅含少量的TSH和FSH。每天给切除垂体的大鼠注射生长激素、促肾上腺皮质激素、催乳素、TSH和FSH都不能刺激肾生长。为了解答垂体分泌的促肾素(renotropin)活性是否归因于LH内在活性的疑问,Nicholson等检测了     

GSTP1、E-cadherin在垂体腺瘤中的表达及临床意义

磁疗与延缓衰老(三)

内分泌功能减低与性衰退学说内分泌系统主要是由内分泌腺组成,包括下丘脑、垂体、甲状腺、肾上腺、性腺、胰腺及甲状旁腺等等。这些内分泌腺能分泌多种激素。随着人体的衰老,这些腺体也出现萎缩,纤维化等现象,它们分泌的激素也会出现相应的变化,从而影响人体功能性老化（衰老）。内分泌系统的老年性衰退的特点垂体与性腺：垂体位于下丘脑下方。下丘脑受中枢神经系统控制,同时又控制垂体分泌多种激素。其中促性腺激素,作用于性腺（卵巢或精囊）。生长激素作用是促进人体骨骼生长,在５０岁以后,随着人体的衰老,垂体的体积明显缩小,…     

脑肿瘤及脑肿瘤图像分类的研究进展

脑肿瘤分类的方法很多,目前尚无统一的分类方法,并且各种肿瘤的组织发生与病理特征不同,其良性与恶性以及物学特性也不一样。通常按组织学可分类如下：（1）发源于神经胶质的肿瘤：星形细胞瘤、少支胶质细胞瘤、髓母细胞瘤等。（2）发源于脑膜的肿瘤：脑膜瘤、脑膜肉瘤、蛛网膜囊肿等。（3）发源于垂体的肿瘤：厌色细胞腺瘤,嗜酸、嗜碱性细胞腺瘤。（4）发源于颅神经的肿瘤：听神经瘤、三又神经瘤等各种神经鞘瘤。（5）发源于胚胎残余组织：颅咽管瘤、脊索瘤、皮样囊肿等。（6）发源于血管细胞：血管瘤及血管网织细胞瘤等。（7）由其它部位转移或侵入的肿瘤：各种转移瘤及鼻咽癌等。     

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.
