Expression of the adrenergic phenotype by dorsal root ganglion cells of the quail in culture in vitro

From the results of previous studies, we have suggested that "autonomic" cell precursors exist in latent form in sensory ganglia of avian embryos. The potentialities can be expressed when the ganglia are transplanted into a young embryo host. In the present study, we have observed a similar transformation in cultures of dissociated dorsal root ganglia taken from quail embryos of 7-15 days of incubation. From the 4th day of culture onward, numerous adrenergic cells appear. They display tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity, synthesise and store catecholamines and generally differ in size and shape from primary sensory neurons. They and/or their precursors can actively proliferate in culture. The differentiation of these catecholaminergic cells, which can not be detected in quail dorsal root ganglia during normal development in vivo, is dependent on one or more factors present in 9-day chick embryo extract.

流行性乙型脑炎病毒血清抗体半微量空斑抑制法的改进

本文报道一种检测流行性乙型脑炎(简称乙脑)中和抗体的简化空斑抑制试验方法,用BHK21传代细胞在24孔塑料板上进行试验,在细胞未形成单层时,将病毒直接接种在刚消化的细胞悬液内,孵育后加甲基纤维素复盖物,再培养,细胞层经染色后即可计算空斑数。 用该法检查47名儿童乙脑疫苗免疫前后的中和抗体,与常规的鸡胚细胞全量法或BHK21传代细胞微量中和试验法作了比较,结果表明本法与其它常规法的敏感性一致,且具有简便快速、节省人力和原材料、空斑形成率高的优点,便于大量血清学检测。     

新城疫病毒单克隆抗体的特性及应用

建立了8个分泌抗新城疫病毒(NDV)特异性单克隆抗体(McAb)的杂交瘤细胞株,根据它们的免疫生物学特性可以分为三种类型:(1)具有FA和ELISA特性(FN1、FN4、FN29、FN30、FN35、FNl22);(2)具有FA、ELISA和HI特性(FN7);(3)具有ELISA、HI特性和中和能力(FN106),根据FN30和FN106的ELISA试验,可将11个NDV毒株分为二种不同的抗原群,应用FN4-FITC,FN7-FITC和FN29-HRP试剂,对人工感染NDV和野外送检病例检测结果表明,单抗试剂的DFA阳性率(92.3％)高于病毒分离阳性率(87.2％),两种方法的符合率89.7％,这些单抗试剂用于临床诊断敏感性和特异性高,且方法快速、简便。     

用PO4细胞为靶细胞检测人血清中Epstein-Barr病毒IgA/MA抗体以诊断鼻咽癌

近年来,常用未经丙酮固定的、由丁酸和巴豆油激活的B95-8细胞或P3HR-1细胞为靶细胞,检测人血清中EB病毒IgA/MA抗体以早期诊断鼻咽癌,效果良好。但由于B95-8细胞含有多种EB病毒抗原,不能用丙酮固定,需多次离心沉淀,在浮悬状态下检测,技术比较复杂。     

Isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from the faeces of diarrhoeic swine

In April and May 1983, a total of 124 samples of faeces from 124 swine was examined for the presence of Yersinia enterocolitica by a variety of isolation procedures. The organisms were recovered from 48˙4% of the swine, which all had diarrhoea. The strain belonged to serotypes 0: 3 and 0: 9 which are considered to be pathogenic for humans.     

The involvement of cytochromeP-450 monooxygenase system in aflatoxin biosynthesis byAspergillus flavus

Summary Phenobarbital stimulated aflatoxin biosynthesis byAspergillus flavus and this was paralleled by an increase in microsomal NADPH-cytochromeP-450 reductase and cytochromeP-450 activities. Aflatoxin biosynthesis was inhibited by SKF 525-A, metyrapone and cyanide, inhibitors of the cytochromeP-450 monooxygenase system, further suggesting that aflatoxin biosynthesis byA. flavus could be mediated by a cytochromeP-450 monooxygenase enzyme system.     

植物苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)在细胞分化中的作用

烟草、丹参和甜叶菊愈伤组织在分化过程中一般都出现两个PAL活性高峰。第一高峰在培养第一、二、三天中出现;第二高峰在第十一天前后出现。前者在分化或不分化培养基中都存在,似与组织分化无关,后者只在分化条件下才有,似可作为组织启动分化的指示酶。分化程度不同的组织,PAL活性有很大差异,即将或刚分化的组织活性最高,随着分化的进程活性趋于降低,老化的组织甚至丧失活性。PAL活性、木质素合成和管状份子形成之间有着紧密的相关性。     

Styles of verbal expression of emotional and physical experiences: A study of depressed patients and normal controls in China

Sixty depressed patients and 52 normal controls completed three selfreport inventories: the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and a new Verbal Style Investigation Schedule (VESIS) developed by the first author. The VESIS uses 16 key emotional and physical terms from Western inventories and identified the words and phrases most commonly used by Chinese patients to express these feeling states. Chinese subjects commonly used the key term itself for only 3 or the 16 key terms; they usually preferred to use other words or phrases to express the feeling state. We categorized these Chinese expressions into four styles of verbal expression: Psychological, Somatic, Neutral (i.e., a mixture of psychological and somatic) and Deficient (i.e., lack of expression because of denial or suppression). Three of the 12 key emotional terms of the VESIS (depressed, fearful, and anxiousness) were more commonly expressed in a somatic or neutral mode than the other key emotional terms. The key terms suicidal interest and being punished were more commonly expressed in a deficient style than other key emotional terms. The somatic factor score of the SCL-90 was not correlated with increased somatic expression of emotional states; thus patients who have multiple somatic complaints are not more likely to express emotions somatically. The hypothesis of somatization is discussed in light of this study.
