西咪替丁的线性扫描极谱法测定

用线性扫描极谱法研究了西咪替丁的电化学行为.在0.16 mol·L-1Na2HPO4-KH2PO4缓冲溶液(pH6.65)中,西咪替丁于-1.903V(vs.SCE)处产生一灵敏的吸附波,其一次线性扫描极谱峰电流与西咪替丁浓度在4.0 mg·L-1-200.0 mg·L-1范围内呈良好的线性关系,相关系数r=0.9935(n=10),检出限为2.0 mg·L-1.对80.0 mg·L-1西咪替丁溶液进行6次平行试验,RSD为0.86%,回收率在94.7%-99.4%之间.本方法操作简便、准确、结果重现性好,可用于胶囊中西咪替丁含量的测定.     

Spread of cobalt from a cortical epileptic lesion induced by a cobalt-gelatine implant into the frontal cortex of the rat

Summary The spread of cobalt ions from cobalt induced epileptic foci in rats has been investigated. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry and heavy-metal histochemistry reveal cobalt ions spread very widely from the focus. Biochemical and physiological consequences for this model of epilepsy are discussed.     

超声导波定量评价长骨骨折状况

采用超声导波评价长骨骨折已成为近年来的研究热点之一,为了定量地评价长骨骨折状况,本文采用二维时域有限差分仿真方法定量分析了超声导波在部分断裂和完全断裂的长骨中的传播情况.结果表明,采用低频窄带高斯包络正弦信号可成功激励出两个低阶导波模式S0和A0,其中A0模式对长骨骨折状况较为敏感.S0和A0模式幅度的比值S0/A0被用于评价长骨骨折程度,S0/A0随裂纹宽度、裂纹深度的增加显著上升.因此超声导波模式转换现象可用于定量表征骨折长骨的裂纹深度和裂纹宽度的变化,对长骨骨折愈合的监测也具有一定意义.     

Localization of type 1 diabetes susceptibility to the MHC class I genes HLA-B and HLA-A

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 is associated with susceptibility to more common diseases than any other region of the human genome, including almost all disorders classified as autoimmune. In type 1 diabetes the major genetic susceptibility determinants have been mapped to the MHC class II genes HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 (refs 1-3), but these genes cannot completely explain the association between type 1 diabetes and the MHC region. Owing to the region's extreme gene density, the multiplicity of disease-associated alleles, strong associations between alleles, limited genotyping capability, and inadequate statistical approaches and sample sizes, which, and how many, loci within the MHC determine susceptibility remains unclear. Here, in several large type 1 diabetes data sets, we analyse a combined total of 1,729 polymorphisms, and apply statistical methods-recursive partitioning and regression-to pinpoint disease susceptibility to the MHC class I genes HLA-B and HLA-A (risk ratios >1.5; P(combined) = 2.01 x 10(-19) and 2.35 x 10(-13), respectively) in addition to the established associations of the MHC class II genes. Other loci with smaller and/or rarer effects might also be involved, but to find these, future searches must take into account both the HLA class II and class I genes and use even larger samples. Taken together with previous studies, we conclude that MHC-class-I-mediated events, principally involving HLA-B*39, contribute to the aetiology of type 1 diabetes.     

Close genetic linkage between X-linked retinitis pigmentosa and a restriction fragment length polymorphism identified by recombinant DNA probe L1.28

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of retinal degeneration characterized by progressive visual field loss, night blindness and pigmentary retinopathy. Its prevalence is in the region of 1-2 in 5,000 of the general population, making it one of the commoner causes of blindness in early and middle life. Although 36-48% of RP patients are isolated cases, the remainder show autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked modes of inheritance. The X-linked variety ( XLRP ) is found in 14-22% of RP families in the UK. In the present study, X chromosome-specific recombinant DNA probes which can detect restriction fragment length polymorphisms have been used to localize the XLRP gene(s) to a subregion of the X chromosome using linkage analysis. One of the probes, L1.28, has been shown to be closely linked to XLRP in five kindreds, with 95% confidence limits of 0-15 centimorgans (maximum LOD score of 7.89 at a distance of 3 centimorgans). This suggests that the XLRP locus lies on the proximal part of the short arm of the X chromosome. This probe is potentially useful for carrier detection and early diagnosis in about 40% of cases, provided that genetic heterogeneity can be excluded by analysis of further families.
