Key words：ancient DNA;authenticity;ancient DNA techniques     

人巨细胞病毒PP71基因序列分析与表达

人巨细胞病毒 (Ｈｕｍａｎｃｙｔｏｍｅｇａｌｏｖｉｒｕｓ)在人群中存在非常普遍 ,大多数呈临床不显性或潜伏感染 ,孕妇ＨＣＭＶ复发感染或新的感染均可引起新生儿宫内或围产期感染 ,导致胎儿畸形、智力低下和发育迟缓等。人是ＨＣＭＶ的唯一宿主 ,病毒可通过人与人间的直接或间接接触传播。近年来对ＨＣＭＶ的致病机理的研究已日趋深入 ,已有多项研究证实 ,ＨＣＭＶ ＰＰ71(ＵＬ82 )基因是病毒抗原之一。亦有研究证实 ,ＨＣＭＶ ＰＰ71是 (ＵＬ82 )基因产物 ,可促进病毒后期的基因表达 ,提高病毒的复制能力。本实验对ＰＰ71(ＵＬ82 )基因…     

烧伤对兔血红细胞内游离氨基酸浓度的影响

动态观察烧伤兔血红细胞内游离氨基酸的代谢变化。以日立 835 - 5 0型氨基酸自动分析仪测定 30 %TBSA兔烧伤后 1、3、7、15和 2 0d血红细胞内游离氨基酸的含量。结果显示 ,烧伤后多数测试点红细胞内游离氨基酸不同程度降低 ;伤后 1天降低最显著 ;苏、丙、缬、组、精和脯氨酸伤后各个时间点降低 ,多数时间点显著降低 (P <0 .0 5 - 0 .0 1)。结果提示烧伤后红细胞内游离氨基酸依靠易化扩散参与全身氨基酸的再分布     

盐酸洛拉曲克在体内、外对S-180细胞株的抗增殖作用

研究合合成新型胸苷合成酶抑制剂盐酸洛拉曲克在体内、外对S－180细胞株及正常人胚肾HEK293细胞的抗增殖作用;使用MTT法测定抑制率,以提高荷腹水瘤小鼠存活时间及荷实体瘤瘤重减轻情况为指标考察盐酸洛拉曲克对S－180所致肿瘤的治疗作用。结果表明：在体外盐酸洛拉曲克对S－180肿瘤细胞株有较强的细胞毒作用,对正常细胞HEK293抑制作用较弱（P＜0.05）;体内实验显示盐酸洛拉曲克可明显提高荷腹水瘤小鼠的存活时间,减轻荷实体瘤小鼠的瘤重,疗效与氟尿嘧啶（10mg/kg）相当（P＞0.05）或更好（P＜0.05）。可见,盐酸洛拉曲克在体内、外对S－180肿瘤细胞有显著的抗增殖作用,在体外对肿瘤细胞 具有选择性的抗增殖作用。

Changes in the Prevalence of Rheumatic Diseases in Shantou,China, in the Past Three Decades: A COPCORD Study

This study aimed to clarify changes in the prevalence of rheumatic diseases in Shantou, China, in the past 3 decades and validate whether stair-climbing is a risk factor for knee pain and knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The World Health Organization-International League Against Rheumatism Community Oriented Program for Control of Rheumatic Diseases (COPCORD) protocol was implemented. In all, 2337 adults living in buildings without elevators and 1719 adults living in buildings with elevators were surveyed. The prevalence of rheumatic pain at any site and in the knee was 15.7% and 10.2%, respectively; both types of pain had a significantly higher incidence in residents of buildings without elevators than was reported by people who lived in buildings with elevators (14.9% vs. 10.6% and 11.32% vs. 8.82%, respectively) (both P < 0.0001). The prevalence of rheumatic pain in the neck, lumbar spine, shoulder, elbow, and foot was 5.6%, 4.5%, 3.1%, 1.4%, and 1.8%, respectively; these findings were similar to the data from the 1987 rural survey, but were somewhat lower than data reported in the urban and suburban surveys of the 1990s, with the exception of neck and lumbar pain. The prevalence of KOA, gout, and fibromyalgia was 7.10%, 1.08%, and 0.07%, respectively, and their prevalence increased significantly compared with those in previous studies from the 20^th century. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (0.35%) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (0.31%) compared to that reported in prior surveys. The prevalence of KOA was higher in for residents of buildings without elevators than that in those who had access to elevators (16–64 years, 5.89% vs. 3.95%, P = 0.004; 16->85 years, 7.64% vs. 6.26%, P = 0.162). The prevalence of RA and AS remained stable, whereas that of KOA, gout, and fibromyalgia has increased significantly in Shantou, China, during the past 3 decades. Stair-climbing might be an important risk factor for knee pain and KOA.     

嗅觉受体在非嗅觉组织和细胞中的作用及其机制

嗅觉受体(olfactory receptor)不仅表达在鼻腔中,还广泛表达在全身其他部位,起着重要的生理作用.本文综述了非嗅觉组织和细胞中表达的嗅觉受体及其功能,这些嗅觉受体通过调控细胞周围的内源性化学物质,维持正常的生理功能,并且能在选定的外源性配体刺激下,表现出特定的功能.在医药领域,大约有40%上市药物的作用靶点都来自于G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)家族,而嗅觉受体是GPCR中最大的基因家族,鉴于其表现出的重要作用,我们推测这些嗅觉受体可能成为未来重要的药物靶标.本文对非嗅觉组织和细胞中嗅觉受体功能的综述,一方面有利于将其作为潜在药物靶点,开发新的药物,另一方面也为中药中挥发性单体的药理作用提供了新的研究思路.
