Hepatic acid hydrolases of albino rats,Mastomys natalensis and albino mice duringPlasmodium berghei infection

Summary Changes in liver acid hydrolase activities during the infection of albino rats,Mastomys or mice withPlasmodium berghei are described. B-Glucosidase, B-galactosidase and N-acetyl-B-D-glucosaminidase exhibited widely different responses with acid phosphatase and cathepsin-B the least responsive and are likely to be causally related to immunity of animals.     

Serum-induced stimulation of snRNA synthesis in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts

Summary Small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) from quiescent and serum-stimulated 3T3 cultures, labeled with [³H]uridine ([³H]U), were electrophoresed in polyacrylamide-urea slab gels and revealed by staining with ethidium bromide and by fluorography, Judged by labeling with [³H]U, synthesis of 7S and U1-U6 RNAs was very low or absent in quiescent cultures. The serum-induced transition of 3T3 cells from a resting to a growing state was accompanied by an early, apparently sequential stimulation of snRNA synthesis; stimulated synthesis of 7S, U1, U2, U3, U4 and U6 RNAs coincided in time with serum-induced stimulation of 45S pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) and heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) synthesis.     

Ultrastructural changes in uterine myometrium of mice with experimentally-induced adenomyosis

Summary Ectopic pituitary transplantation induced a high incidence of adenomyosis in SHN mice. Early signs of the development of adenomyosis were the penetration of stromal connective tissue into myometrium followed by uterine gland invasion. Associated with these changes, the inner layer of myometrium showed the involution of smooth muscle cells and distended intercellular spacesThis work was supported in part by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan

六种核酸提取试剂盒对粪样中小鼠肝炎病毒核酸 提取效率的比较

目的 比较六种商品化试剂盒在小鼠粪便中提取小鼠肝炎病毒(MHV)RNA的效率,筛选出效率高、耗时短的核酸提取方法。方法 采集感染MHV小鼠的新鲜粪便样本,分别用液氮研磨法、磁珠匀浆法以及PBS溶解离心法进行处理,通过同一核酸提取试剂盒比较病毒核酸提取效率,明确最佳样本前处理方法;之后,用6种试剂盒进行RNA提取,经反转录后进行TaqMan实时定量PCR检测,以Ct值评价6种试剂盒的提取效率,结合产物测序和血清抗体ELISA结果,筛选MHV的最佳核酸提取方法。结果 对于粪便样本的前处理,液氮研磨法的RNA提取效率显著高于磁珠匀浆法。对于6种试剂盒的提取效果,TIANGEN DP422[总RNA浓度：(549.70±52.38) ng/μL,Ct值：(24.51±0.10)]核酸提取效率最高;TIANGEN SD101[总RNA浓度：(274.13±6.87) ng/μL,Ct值：(2.39±0.017)]和QIAGEN 52904[总RNA浓度：(288.13±15.11) ng/μL,Ct值：(2.40±0.012)]用时最短;XS VRL[总RNA浓度：(348.80±15.85) ng/μL,Ct值：(24.70±0.13)]操作最为方便。结论 粪便样本前处理建议采用液氮研磨法。针对粪便中MHV RNA的提取,TIANGEN DP422提取效率最高,推荐用于小鼠肝炎病毒的分子生物学检测。     

化疗性静脉炎小鼠模型的建立

目的通过静脉注射氟尿嘧啶建立稳定有效的化疗性静脉炎小鼠模型。方法 42只昆明小鼠按照给药浓度随机分为7.5 mg/mL、10.0 mg/mL、12.5 mg/mL,15.0 mg/mL、17.5 mg/mL和22.5 mg/mL共6个实验组和1个对照组。实验组小鼠分别从左侧鼠尾静脉注射0.4 mL不同浓度的氟尿嘧啶溶液,对照组注射0.4mL的生理盐水。给药后第3 d对化疗性静脉炎表现进行分级评价后处死。制作石蜡切片并进行镜下分级。结果随注射氟尿嘧啶剂量的增加,小鼠静脉炎发生率也逐渐增高,350 mg/kg(17.5 mg/mL组)以上剂量组动物出现中毒死亡。300 mg/kg(15.0 mg/mL)剂量组化疗性静脉炎发生率达100%,无动物死亡,出现典型的静脉炎症状,对照组未出现类似变化。结论通过小鼠尾静脉注射300 mg/kg～350 mg/kg剂量范围的氟尿嘧啶可成功建立稳定有效的化疗性静脉炎小鼠模型。

Vitamin A and tumor immunity

Summary Intraperitoneal administration of vitamin A into the BALB/c mice inoculated with a syngeneic fibrosarcoma, Meth A, caused a remarkable augmentation of tumor rejection. A cell-depletion technique revealed that the primary effector cells responsible for the augmented rejection were Thy-1 positive, Lyt-1 negative, Lyt-2 positive lymphocytes, suggesting the involvement of cytotoxic lymphocytes.This work was supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for scientific research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan, and in part by a Grant-in-Aid for cancer research from the Fukuoka Cancer Society, Japan.We thank Mr M.
