血友病患者血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒抗体检测

对浙江省1982～1984年注射了美国产浓缩Ⅶ因子制剂的18例血友病患者,用酶联免疫吸附法(ELTSA)检测了血清中淋巴腺病病毒/人T细胞Ⅲ型病毒(LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ)抗体,发现4例阳性,并经免疫荧光试验和Western印迹法证实。2例应用了国产浓缩Ⅷ因子者抗体阴性。一例从美国来华旅游死于艾滋病者,LAV/HTLV-Ⅲ抗体阳性。本研究证明,LAV/HTLVⅢ病毒巳通过美国生产的Ⅷ因子制剂传入中国。     

B淋巴细胞在多向造血祖细胞生长中的地位

小鼠骨髓细胞在体外培养中,加入用流式自由电泳法分离所得的高纯度正常B淋巴细胞,可使多向祖细胞(CFU-mix)集落增加至5倍;加入小鼠B淋巴瘤细胞株的条件培基(M_(12.4.1)-CM)时,CFU-mix数也可增加至4倍。单集落形态学分析结果表明M_(12.4.1)-CM可加强CFU-GEMm及p-BFU-E等早期造血祖细胞的增殖与分化。小鼠高纯度B细胞样品在体外培养中加入1000 rad照射的骨髓细胞可出现CFU-mix集落,如果再加入适量的小鼠肺条件培基,则CFU-mix数量比对照大15倍,其集落性质为CFU-GEMm,GMm及p-BFU-E。在此培养中加不同稀释度抗小鼠IgM血清,结果CFU-mix的产率与抗IgM血清的浓度成直线反比关系,当加入1:10抗小鼠IgM血清时,CFU-mix为0。作者假设在一定培养条件下,IgM阳性的部分B细胞可返祖转化为CFU-mix。     

A comparative study of the tapetum, retina and skull of the ferret, dog and cat

Results of this investigation indicate that the ferret (Mustela putorius) closely resembles the dog (Canis familiaris) and should be a useful research animal alternative. The tapetum lucidum is a common structure present in the eyes of dogs, cats (Felis catus) and other nocturnal animals. Our study showed that this structure was present in ferret eyes. The color or reflection of the ferret and dog tapetum was remarkably reduced by the general fixation with glutaraldehyde. However, this color fading phenomenon was not observed in the cat tapetum. These observations led to this comparative study on several morphological, histochemical and biochemical parameters on mature ferrets, dogs and cats including: (1) the number of center tapetum cell layers, (2) thickness of center tapetum, (3) presence of a microtubule-like structure in each tapetal rod, (4) presence of electron-dense cores in tapetal rods after prolonged fixation in glutaraldehyde, (5) retention of reflection or color of tapetum after prolonged glutaraldehyde fixation, (6) zygomatic bones of eye orbits, (7) zinc content in tapetum, (8) cysteine in the tapetum, (9) cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase in liver, (10) thickness of retina from center tapetum, (11) anterior view of skull configuration, and (12) lateral view of skull configuration (jaw and teeth). Among these 12 parameters, ferret and dog were similar in the first nine points; ferret and cat were similar to each other only in the last two points. There was no difference in retinal thickness among these three animals.     

Proteoglycans from bovine nasal and articular cartilages. Fractionation of the link proteins by wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography

Two forms of link protein, 46 and 51 kDa, are present in proteoglycan aggregates from both bovine nasal and bovine articular cartilages. Studies reported here show that the link proteins bind to concanavalin A, Lens culinaris agglutinin, Ricinus communis agglutinin, soybean agglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin lectins. When the link proteins are eluted from these lectins with appropriate competing sugars, the 46- and the 51-kDa link proteins elute together and no separation is achieved. However, when the link proteins bound to wheat germ agglutinin are eluted with a 0 to 4 M guanidine hydrochloride linear gradient, a good separation of the 46- and 51-kDa link proteins is achieved. Wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography has been used on a preparative scale to isolate the 51-kDa link protein from mature bovine articular cartilage to homogeneity, in amounts sufficient to examine its effect on proteoglycan aggregate size and stability in sedimentation velocity studies. Proteoglycan aggregates were reassembled from proteoglycan monomers and hyaluronate in the absence of link protein, in the presence of both 46- and 51-kDa link proteins, and in the presence of the individual 51-kDa link protein. The sizes of the aggregates were compared in terms of sedimentation coefficients (s(0)20). The stability of the aggregates was compared in terms of the per cent aggregate present at pH 7 and 5. At pH 7, the sedimentation coefficients (s(0)20) of link-free aggregates, aggregates formed with both link proteins, and aggregates formed with 51-kDa link protein were 72, 93, and 112 S, respectively. Thus, the 51-kDa link protein has a pronounced effect on aggregate size. The link-free aggregate was grossly unstable, and only 36% aggregate was present at pH 5. The aggregate formed with both link proteins was effectively stabilized against dissociation and 79% aggregate was present at pH 5. The aggregate formed with 51-kDa link protein was not effectively stabilized against dissociation, and only 60% aggregate was present at pH 5. Thus, despite its pronounced effect on aggregate size, the 51-kDa link protein does not effectively stabilize the proteoglycan aggregate against dissociation. These results suggest that the 51-kDa link protein may selectively increase aggregate size, while the 46-kDa link protein may be required to effectively stabilize the proteoglycan aggregate against dissociation.     

Stimulation of proliferation ofTetrahymena pyriformis by trace rare earths

Using two Chinese strains ofTetrahymena pyriformis, S1 and BJ4, as the biological models, the effects of lighter rare earths (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, and europium), representatives of heavier rare earths (yttrium and thulium), and mixed rare earths were studied. The stimulation of population growth ofTetrahymena in peptone-glucose media containing trace amounts of these elements have been observed. The mechanisms for the beneficial effects of rare earth elements in low concentrations remains to be discovered.

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。     

Temperature-sensitive high affinity [3H]serotonin binding: Characterization and effects of antidepressant treatment

Characterization of temperature-sensitive [³H]serotonin (5-HT) binding sites (1 and 4 nM Kd sites) revealed complex inhibition by neuroleptics and serotonin antagonists. There was no simple correlation with affinities for S₁ and S₂ receptors. $\text{In vivo}$ pretreatment (48 h before) with mianserin did not alter Bmax or Kd for the 1 nM Kd [³H]5-HT site, although [³H]ketanserin (S₂) densities were decreased by 50%. This suggested that possible S₂ components of [³H]5-HT binding must be negligeable, even though ketanserin competed with high affinity (IC₅₀ = 3 nM) for a portion of the 1 nM Kd [³H]5-HT site. Low concentrations of mianserin inhibited the 1 nM Kd [³H]5-HT site in a non-competitive manner, as shown by a decrease in Bmax with no change in Kd after $\text{in vitro}$ incubation. The complex inhibition data may therefore represent indirect interactions through another site.
