鲍氏志架氏菌的一个新血清型

Two strains which belong to the same serotype of Shigella were isolated from the bloody-pus stool of two patients (in 1986) and is reported in this paper. The results were identical both showing agglutination in low titer with serotype 8 of S. dysenteriae and serotype 4 of S. boydii when the two strains were checked well with all kinds of diagnostic antisera and vice versa, ie the antisera produced by the two strains were also checked well with sera prepared with the representative strains of all Shigella spp. No cross agglutination with O6, O7, and O150 of E. coli were found. Consequently, It appears to be a new serotype of Shigella. These two strains possess the ability of causing keratitis in guinea-pigs as well as invading epithelial cells, the DNA of both strains in agarose-electrophoresis showed a large plasmid, indicating that they are virulent strains possessing invasive ability. It was concluded that these two strains belonged to Shigella boydii as they fermented mannitol and non-related antigenically with Shigella flexneri. Since serotype 1-18 of S. boydii have been reported recently, we propose that this new serotype should be serotype 19 of Shigella boydii.     

钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ与学习记忆相关疾病的研究进展

智力障碍、阿尔兹海默氏病等学习记忆相关疾病由于致病原因复杂,发病机制不明确,至今仍缺少有效的防治措施。钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ(CaMKⅡ)作为神经信号传递通路中重要的信号分子,是与学习和记忆相关的重要调节蛋白。CaMKⅡ功能的失调会诱发多种与学习记忆相关的疾病。目前在编码CaMKⅡ的基因上已发现多种引起智力障碍的从头突变,但具体的致病机理仍有待进一步研究。该文重点介绍了CaMKⅡ在学习和记忆中的作用,总结了CaMKⅡ突变引起的学习记忆相关疾病及在智力障碍上可能的致病机理,并讨论了如何以其作为新的靶点开发针对神经系统疾病的个性化治疗药物。     

用笛卡儿座标对菲氏叶猴和黑叶猴颅骨的比较形态研究

本文利用三维笛卡儿空间座标对菲氏叶猴(Presbytis phayrei)和黑叶猴(P.francoisi)颅骨的形态结构作了比较研究,描绘了它们的侧视和俯视投影图形。结果表明,两种投影图形均显示黑叶猴的颅骨大于菲氏叶猴,且显著性增大的区域出现在眉点、囟门、枕骨大孔附近和下颌骨体的高度。但菲氏叶猴较黑叶猴具有更凸的面颅。据枕骨隆突至眉点的侧视投影弧长,两种叶猴的数学模式均为:Y=a+bX-cX~2(R=0.92)。从侧视投影看,两种叶猴自枕骨隆突至眉点主要表出大小的不同。若据俯视投影图,两种颅骨的差异主要出现在外耳道以前的部分。黑叶猴较菲氏叶猴具有十分显著性增高的下颌骨体以及相对应更发达的咬肌和咀嚼器官,这很可能与它取食更多的果类食物有关。     

蛇类肺炎双球病的诊断及防治

肺炎双球病是肺炎双球菌 (现名肺炎链球菌 )引起的以败血性脓毒血症为特征的急性传染病 ,是蛇类养殖业中常见的一种病症 ,有逐渐上升的趋势。1　临床症状　　某养殖场饲养近 3 0 0条眼镜蛇 ,发病时 ,蛇张口呼吸 ,盘游不安 ,不思回洞 ,行动迟缓 ,流涎 ,体温达 3 8.7℃～ 42 .2℃ ,两天共死 2 6条 ,已用土霉素、红霉素、四环素治疗无效 ,用安乃近强行退热 ,停药后又回升。2　病理剖检　　肺严重气肿 ,出血或硬结 ,萎陷到发生肝变 ,局部化脓 ,肺与胸膜粘连 ,气管有血液粘液和纤维素渗出物 ,脾肿大 1 .5倍 ,有出血性梗塞 ,肝局部坏死 ,淋巴结肿…     

镰刀菌所致皮肤感染的文献回顾

镰刀菌主要为植物致病菌,但也可引起严重人类感染。镰刀菌病临床表现形式多样,本文主要综述相关的皮肤感染,分为局限性皮肤感染及播散性感染,诊断多较困难。由于该属真菌对抗真菌药物存在天然耐药,播散性镰刀菌病死亡率可达80%-90%。本文对Medline和中文文献数据库中的相关文献进行了系统查阅和分析,综合归纳了镰刀菌所致皮肤感染的致病种、地域分布、危险因子、临床表现形式、药物敏感性及其诊疗方案等,该综述对全面了解镰刀菌病的特征及对临床医师对本病的诊断具有重要的意义。     

播散型组织胞浆菌病研究进展

组织胞浆菌病是由组织胞浆菌引起的深部真菌疾病。播散型组织胞浆菌病为所有临床分型中最为凶险的类型,其特点为起病急、发展快、死亡率高,诊断及治疗也颇为棘手。该病既往被认为是一种地方流行性疾病,多见于美国中西部等西半球地区,我国少见且多为输入性病例。但现阶段我国本土病例也屡有报道,故本文在复习相关文献基础上总结了播散型组织胞浆菌病的流行病学现状、易感人群、临床表现、诊断方法及治疗进展,以飨读者。
