Uninterrupted protein synthesis is essential for survival in the early stages of carbontetrachloride-induced hepatocellular necrosis in the mouse

Summary The fatal syndrome produced by cycloheximide given 6 h after a hepatonecrogenic dose of CCl₄ is due neither to direct toxic synergism between CCl₄ and cycloheximide nor to transient sinusoidal thrombosis. It is suggested that survival in the presence of unknown factors released from dying liver cells requires uninterrupted protein synthesis. The life-saving effect of sterilization of the intestine by antibiotics indicates that the gut flora or its products play a vital role in pathogenesis.Acknowledgments. I wish to thank Mr C. R. West for carrying out the statistical analysis, Mrs Brenda Brooks for histological processing, and Berk Pharmaceuticals Ltd for information on Ancrod defibrination in mice.     

Epicatechin can cause the seedling growth inhibitor,nagilactone E,to induce growth stimulation

Summary A possible new role for the flavonoid (–)-epicatechin (II) is described. It has no growth effects on its own, but when it is added to lettuce and rice seeds together with the known seedling growth inhibitor nagilactone E (I), the growth inhibitor activity ofI can cease and growth stimulation can be observed.     

胶束溶液中正脂肪酸乙酯的皂化反应

在２０℃和３０℃下，用热动力学面积差法（两点法）研究了极性聚合物（聚乙二醇）、ＣＡＴＢ阳离子表面活性剂及其混合胶束对乙酸乙酯皂化反应的影响；在３０℃下研究了短链醇（乙醇）与ＳＤＳ阴离子表面活性剂混合胶束对正丙酸乙酯皂化反应的影响。结果表明：单一和混合胶束对正脂肪酸乙酯的皂化反应有较强的禁阻作用。还讨论了禁阻作用的原因。

Effect of phospholipids on purified lipoamidase

Summary Phospholipids were added to purified lipoamidase from porcine brain microsomal membranes, and changes in lipoamidase activity were examined. Approximately twofold activation of lipoamidase activity occurred upon the addition of phosphatidylethanolamine. On the other hand, phosphosphatidylserine, cardiolipin, and phosphatidic acid reduced the enzyme activity by approximately 80%. This pattern of the activation of lipoamidase by phosphatidylethanolamine and its inhibition by phosphatidylserine is similar to the pattern for adenylate cyclase, and contrasts with the pattern for ATPase.     

矽肺病人的免疫状态

本文检查了矽肺病人的多种免疫状态,发现患者同围血中T细胞百分率平均值比对照组显著降低,而B细胞百分率呈有意义增高;血清蛋白、r、α_1、α_2球蛋白有随病程进展而增高趋势;血清免疫球蛋白IgG和IgA含量的增高亦与病程相一致,至Ⅱ期矽肺二者含量增高显著,但IgM含量未见明显变化,仅在矽肺合并结核组,IgG、IgA、和IgM含量呈明显增高;患者组类风湿因子(RF)和抗核抗体(ANA)合并阳性率(24.5％)比接尘组(13.3％)为高;血中循环免疫复合物(CIC)阳性检出率较高,但Ⅰ期矽肺组与对照组相比,未呈统计学差别;患者血中总补体(CH_(50))和C_8含量未见明显变化。根据患者的T细胞检出率降低,B细胞增高、体液免疫结果与细胞免疫相一致,均和病程进展而呈现规律性变化,以及自身抗体增高等免疫现象,似与自身免疲性疾病有类同之处。随着杂交瘤技术的广泛应用,联系近年国外关于石棉肺免疫学研究,对T细胞亚群变化进行了讨论,这方面的深入研究,对阐明矽肺发病机理是有意义的。对矽肺免疫的进一步研究,从实验设计上也提出了有益的建议。     

壳寡糖对Hela细胞的增殖抑制与诱导凋亡

为了明确壳寡糖(COS)对Hela细胞的增殖抑制作用及对凋亡的影响,采用3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)法检测增殖抑制作用,Wrights-Giemsa及吖啶橙-溴乙锭(AO-EB)染色观察凋亡细胞的形态,Annexin V-FITC/PI法检测凋亡率,免疫组化法分析Bax,Bcl-2和Survivin表达量变化.结果显示:不同浓度COS处理Hela细胞均能抑制增殖,5.0mg/mL并作用24h对其增殖抑制率为52.15%(P0.01).Wrights-Giemsa染色显示细胞形态趋近圆形,贴壁能力减弱,出现凋亡小体.AO-EB染色时细胞出现早期和晚期凋亡现象.AnnexinV-FITC/PI检测细胞凋亡率为31.75%(P0.05).免疫组化分析细胞内Bax表达量增加,Bcl-2和Survivin表达量降低.表明COS能够抑制Hela细胞增殖并诱导凋亡,其原因与Bax的上调和Bcl-2与Survivin的下调相关.
