Esophageal PCO2 as a monitor of perfusion failure during hemorrhagic shock

Sato, Yoji, Max Harry Weil, Wanchun Tang, Shijie Sun,Jianlin Xie, Joe Bisera, and Hidehiro Hosaka. EsophagealPCO₂ as a monitor of perfusionfailure during hemorrhagic shock. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(2): 558-562, 1997.Measurement ofgastric wall PCO₂(Pg_CO2) bytonometric method has emerged as an attractive option for estimatingvisceral perfusion during circulatory shock. However, gastric acidsecretion obfuscates the tonometric measurement. We, therefore,investigated the option of measuringPCO₂ in the esophagus to minimizethese restraints. Hemorrhagic shock was induced in five Sprague-Dawleyrats, and five rats served as sham controls.Pg_CO2 wasmeasured with an ion-sensitive field effect transistor that wassurgically implanted into the gastric wall. Esophageal luminalPCO₂(Pe_CO2) wasmeasured by a second ion-sensitive field effect transistor sensor.During hemorrhagic shock, mean aortic pressure declined from 150 to 50 mmHg. Gastric blood flow decreased from 58 to 12 ml ^· min^{1 ·} 100 g¹ (21% of preshock) andesophageal blood flow from 44 to 7 ml ^· min^{1 ·} 100 g¹ (16% of preshock).Pg_CO2simultaneously increased from 47 to 116 Torr andPe_CO2 from 47 to 127 Torr. The increases inPg_CO2 werehighly correlated with increases inPe_CO2(r = 0.90). Esophageal tonometry may,therefore, serve as a practical alternative to gastric tonometry.

     

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in China

Thirty strains of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis were isolated from rabbits (17 strains), wild rats (9 strains) and house rats (4 strains) in China between 1990 and 1993. The biochemical properties of these isolates were identical with those of Y. pseudotuberculosis and no special characteristics were found in these strains. Serologically, serogroups 4b and 5b were identical to isolates found in Japan, and a new serogroup 1c and unclassified strains have also been detected. The existence of virulence-associated properties were different among strains. The pYV plasmid was detected from 6 strains of 30 isolates. This report documents the presence of Y. pseudotuberculosis in China, providing important epidemiological information.

油桐尺蠖核型多角体病毒在Bs484细胞中的感染特性研究

本文研究了油桐尺蠖核型多角体病毒(简称BsNPV)在油桐尺蠖成虫卵巢细胞系(Bs484)中的以下感染特性:1.病毒接种传代3-4天的细胞时,病毒感染率最高;2.病毒按种量在一定范围内与感染细胞的多角体总产量平行;3.病毒在细胞中连续传代七次后其滴度无明显变化;4,病毒基因组在感染细胞后6小时左右开始合成,并于感染后14小时达到最大。此外,本实验还发展了一种用于检测感染细胞中的病毒核酸的简便方法。     

荧光显微镜观察大蒜油对腹水癌细胞的影响

用吖啶橙染色,荧光显微镜观察大蒜油对—S180,昆明小鼠,U14 C57BL/6J小鼠和L1210DBA小鼠的癌细胞作用的影响,结果表明大蒜油有直接破坏癌细胞的DNA,RNA和分裂中期染色体的作用。给药后2—6小时作用最强,12小时后癌细胞数逐渐恢复,因此给药间隔不应超过12小时。我们研究证实大蒜油有明显的抗癌作用,为临床应用提供有力的依据。     

急性病毒性肝炎的发病率慢性肝炎患病率和肝病死亡率的研究

1984～1987年,在黑龙江、河北、河南、湖南、上海五个省市城乡10.08855人口中进行急性肝炎发病率、慢性肝炎患病率、与病毒性肝炎有关的肝病死亡率的研究。急性肝炎标化发病率为152.19/10万,主要发生在20～50岁组人群;因无甲肝暴发流行,除上海外各点季节发病率分布均衡。慢性肝炎标化患病率为158.25/10万(诊断标准为6个月前有明确急性肝炎病史,现有明显的临床症状或体征,肝功能异常,故实际慢肝患病率要高于此数字);与病毒性肝炎有关的肝病死亡(包括肝癌)标化率为22.65/10万,其中肝病为 13.14/10万。男性死亡率显著高于女性。     

籼、粳杂种的“随体丢失”

1985—1986,观察籼、粳及籼,粳F_1杂种终变期核仁染色体数,籼为2个二价核仁染色体,粳为1个二价核仁染色体,籼、粳F_1杂种核仁染色体数与父本水稻的核仁染色体数相同。由此,讨论了“随体丢失”在水稻育种,粳稻起源及遗传学方面的意义。
