流行性成人腹泻病人排出成人腹泻轮状病毒的持续时间

成人腹泻轮状病毒(Adult Diarrhoea Rotavirus,简称ADRV)是引起青壮年急性胃肠炎的主要病原之一,1983年至1985年在我国许多地区暴发流行,严重危害着人民健康,至今尚无治疗药物。因此,摸清病人排病毒情况或规律,对及时控制传染源,预防ADRV大量传播有着重要意义。现将本文实验结果报告如下。     

子宫颈糜烂病毒病因的探讨

491份宫颈拭子病毒分离结果表明:糜烂宫颈单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)分离阳性率(30.8％)是正常宫颈(2.6％)的11.8倍,用人干扰素治疗一个疗程后,病毒分离率下降至疗前的1/4.36例糜烂宫颈活体组织DNA分子杂交表明,乳头瘤病毒16型(HPV-16)阳性者占52.8和,HPV-18占17.9％,HPV-6B占28.1％,HPV-11占7.7％,251例宫颈糜烂患者经人(?)D型基因工程干扰素双盲对比治疗后,总有效率达93.8％,显效率达60％,分析临床疗效与HSV分离率的变化表明,临床有效病例中有35％(49/140)在治疗后病毒阴转,有57％在疗前疗后均未分离出HSV,有5％在疗前疗后保持阳性不变,有2.9％疗前阴性,疗后阳性,上述结果表明,HSV和HPV与慢性宫颈炎有一定关系。     

三种核型多角体病毒核酸同源性的研究

用分子杂交技术研究了黑点银纹夜蛾(Arqyrogramma agnata Stgr,)单粒包埋型核型多角体病毒(简称A,A,SNPV),斜纹夜蛾(Prodenia litura)多粒包埋型核型多角体病毒(简称PL MNPV)以及用A,A,SNPV感染斜纹夜蛾幼虫所获得的多粒包埋型核型多角体病毒(暂称PoI MNPV)三种病毒核酸的同源性,用SDS-Tris酚法分别提取病毒核酸,用内切酶Eco RⅠ酶解,比较了病毒核酸的酶解图谱及分子量,用〔α-~(32)P〕dATP标记的三种病毒核酸Eco RⅠ酶解片段作探针,分别与各病毒核酸的Eco RI酶解片段杂交,结果表明PoI MNPV与PL MNPV的病毒核酸同源,而A,A,SNPV DNA不与PoI MNPV DNA、PL MNPV DNA杂交,无同源序列。

In vitro growth and differentiation of human kidney tubular cells on a basement membrane substrate

Summary Kidney cortical tubular cells, mainly proximal tubular cells, isolated from human kidney and grown either on a basement membrane substrate in chemically defined medium or on plastic in serum-supplemented medium, had substantial proliferative potential and could be propagated for more than 10 generations or 8 passages before senescence. Basement membrane produced on a plastic substrate by the HR-9 endodermal cell line could replace serum supplementation in promoting tubular cell growth. Tubular cells grown on an HR-9 basement membrane substrate exhibited stable epithelial morphology over an extended period of time; in the presence of 5% serum they differentiated into organized structures such as hemicysts and cell cords. Cells grown on plastic failed to differentiate and gradually degenerated. Tubular cells on HR-9 basement membrane were characterized by densely packed microvilli, abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and free polysomes, basal cell membrane interdigitations, a well-developed endocytotic apparatus, and conspicuous junctional complexes—all features of the proximal tubular cell. Compared with cells on plastic substrate, there were higher levels of the brush border enzymes γ-glutamyl transpeptidase,l-leucine aminopeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase in cells maintained on an HR-9 basement membrane substrate, further supporting the conclusion that a basement membrane substrate promoted differentiation of tubular cells. These data and morphological observations indicate that a basement membrane substrate can promote growth and both functional and morphologic differentiation of human kidney tubular cells.

环境因子对根瘤菌吸氢活性表达的影响

自生条件下,测定准噶尔盆地南部的68株根瘤菌吸氢活力,获得一株Hup~+的冬箭筈豌豆根瘤菌C_(48)。经与紫云英根瘤菌株109及89比较,两者氢酶表达的最适pH相同;温度分别以20或30℃为宜;Ni~(2+)显著促进吸氢表达,但C_(48)还受Co~(2+ )、Mg~(2+)、Cu~(2+)的促进;紫云英根瘤菌的氨酶表达受碳水化合物抑制较冬箭筈豌豆根瘤菌明显。此外,自生条件下生长的Hup—菌株,经与宿主共生后,Hup~+的百分率大为增加。     

Hypoxia-induced inhibition of converting enzyme activity: role in vascular regulation

Systemic and pulmonary vascular reactivity to graded doses of angiotensin I (ANG I), angiotensin II (ANG II), and, as a control, phenylephrine were examined in 14- or 28-day hypoxia-exposed and air control rats. Hypoxic rats exhibited pulmonary hypertension that was reversible on return to room air, but systemic arterial pressure was not altered by hypoxia. Systemic pressor responses to ANG I and ANG II were significantly less in the hypoxic rats than in the control rats at 14 and 28 days but returned to control levels in hypoxic animals that were then returned to room air, demonstrating reversibility of the hypoxia-induced changes in vascular reactivity. Pulmonary pressor responses to ANG I were significantly less at 14 days, whereas responses to ANG II were significantly greater at 28 days, in hypoxic rats than in controls. There were no significant differences in systemic and pulmonary pressor responses to phenylephrine between the hypoxic and air control animals. The altered systemic and pulmonary pressor responsiveness to ANG I and ANG II in hypoxic rats is probably related to mechanisms specific to the renin-angiotensin system, such as inhibition of intrapulmonary angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and down regulation of ANG II receptors in the systemic circulation. Further study is needed to elucidate these mechanisms.     

克山病是一种“心肌线粒体病(Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathy)”

亚急克病人心肌线粒体内膜电子传递链的琥珀酸氧化酶系,琥珀酸脱氢酶和细胞色素氧化酶活性明显低于对照。H~ -ATP酶的活性及其对寡霉素的敏感性都明显下降。ATP能量化后线粒体膜电位的变化也比对照明显降低。膜脂流动性低于对照。亚急克病人心肌线粒体内观察到较多的电子致密无定形物质,经电镜X射线微区等方法分析,认为这些物质不是Ca_3(PO_4)_2,而可能是一种蛋白质凝聚物。此外,心肌线粒体的硒含量远低于对照,而Ca含量明显高于对照。上述结果都反映亚急克病人心肌线粒体明显损伤。根据克山病患者心肌细胞线粒体结构与功能方面呈现的如此广泛与明显的异常,可将克山病称为“心肌线粒体病(Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathy)”。     

Epinephrine, glucose, and lactate infusion in exercising adrenodemedullated rats

The purpose of this study was to determine the metabolic function of the marked increase in plasma epinephrine which occurs in fasted rats during treadmill exercise. Fasted adrenodemedullated (ADM) and sham-operated (SHAM) rats were run on a rodent treadmill (21 m/min, 15% grade) for 30 min or until exhaustion. ADM rats were infused with saline, epinephrine, glucose, or lactate during the exercise bouts. ADM saline-infused rats showed markedly reduced endurance, hypoglycemia, elevated plasma insulin, reduced blood lactate, and reduced muscle glycogenolysis compared with exercising SHAM's. Epinephrine infusion corrected all deficiencies. Glucose infusion restored endurance run times and blood glucose to normal without correcting the deficiencies in blood lactate and muscle glycogenolysis. Infusion of lactate partially corrected the hypoglycemia at 30 min of exercise, but endurance was not restored to normal and rats were hypoglycemic at exhaustion. We conclude that in the fasted exercising rat, actions of epinephrine in addition to provision of gluconeogenic substrate are essential for preventing hypoglycemia and allowing the rat to run for long periods of time.     

三七中达马烷型皂甙的热不稳定性及酸水解产物

前人已证明人参和三七中富含的达马烷型人参皂甙在通常酸性水解下甙元即发生变化,而在弱酸(如50％醋酸,0.1N盐酸)条件下则形成次级皂甙。本文报道人参甙(ginseno-sides)和三七甙(notoginsenosides)的水溶液在水浴上加热亦分别形成相应的C-20位去糖基的次级皂甙。联系到人参和三七均有在蒸煮加工后C-20位去糖基皂甙收率增大的趋势,似可认为人参和三七中的这类皂甙有相当一部分是在生药的加工泡制以及提取过程中形成的次级皂甙,而不一定是植物体的原生成分。将人参甙Rb_1单体以酸水解,不仅得到主产物人参二醇(3),还分离到异去氢原人参二醇(5)、达马烷-20(22)-烯-3β,12β,26-三醇(6)、20(R)-达马烷-3β,12β,20,25-四醇(7)以及20(S)-和20(R)-原人参二醇(1、2)的混合物,从而认为这些微量成分与人参二醇一样均为达马烷型人参皂甙在酸性水解条件下C-20位糖基断裂后由真甙元的侧链转化形成的工作产物。
