Bovine microvascular endothelial cells of separate morphology differ in growth and response to the action of interferon-γ

Five cell types recently isolated from the bovine corpus luteum differed in their epithelioid morphology and their cytoskeleton, but shared common criteria of microvascular endothelial cells^1,2. To give strong evidence for the separate entity, the growth rate of the 5 phenotypically different cells was studied. They were seeded at low density on day 0. Most of these cells were treated with 200 to 1000 U recombinant bovine interferon- (IFN-) for 3 days. The untreated remainder served as controls. Cell counts were made for all cultures on days 4, 7, 10 and 13. morphology: 13 d after treatment with IFN- senescent cells as well as intact cells occurred in cultures of cell types 1 to 4. Cultures of cell type 5 were apparently unchanged and resembled their untreated counterparts. Desminpositive cells in cultures of cell type 2 developed cell processes. Growth rate: In the absence of IFN-, the growth rate was high for cell types 3 and 4, moderate for cell type 1, and low for cell types 2 and 5. The presence of IFN- caused anti-proliferative effects. These were higher for cell types 3 and 4 than for cell types 1 and 2. IFN- could be cytotoxic on cell type 3. In contrast, the cytokine tended to support the cell growth of cell type 5. These findings substantiate the postulate that endothelial cells exhibiting separate morphology in culture also function differently.     

建立人输卵管上皮细胞无血清培养

人输卵管上皮细胞（HOEC）可以体外较长时间无血清培养,DMEM／F12培养液的培养效果优于Ham’sF10,在加有多种因子和胎球蛋白的培养液中,HOEC可贴壁生长,生长能力达到合质量分数15％FCS的对照组的30％～40％,一般可传代2次,最长培养可维持38d,细胞形态与有血清培养差别不大,虽然无血清培养HOEC的生长速度、密度、传代成功率远不及有血清培养,但能抑制成纤维细胞生长,维持较纯的上皮细胞。     

Marked electrical synapses on AP neuron of the leech (Whitmania pigra)

An initial attempt reveals parameters of marked electric synapse on AP perceptive neuron of leech. The width of gap between marked AP and either neuro-or glio-process is 2–3 nm, the diameter of the hexagonal array of connexion is 8–9 nm with a central pole of 2–2.5 nm, the same as the structure of annular lamellar bodies internalized by AP-glia processes in the AP.

老年牙周炎患者外周血NK细胞活性的研究

测定老年牙周炎患者外周血ＮＫ细胞活性。采用ＭＴＴ法测定,并与成年和青少年牙周炎患者进行比较。发现老年牙周炎患者外周血ＮＫ细胞活性低于成年牙周炎患者（Ｐ＜０．０１）,也低于青少年牙周炎患者（Ｐ＜０．０５）。老年牙周炎患者ＮＫ细胞活性低下可能是老年人牙周病发病率高,组织破坏重的原因之一。     

针刺对胸内肿瘤化学疗法中自由基等指标的影响

恶性肿瘤的化学疗法会产生自由基升高和白细胞数目降低等副作用,临床表现恶心、呕吐、厌食、疲乏等症状。 本文应用针刺“足三里”、“阴陵泉”、“内关”等穴位配合化学疗法,结果血中脂质过氧化物(LPO)降低,白细胞增多、消化道症状和疲乏感降低,这说明针刺疗法可作为化学疗法的重要支持手段。 针刺降低自由基的原理估计是激发了体内降解酶的作用。     

‘Chloride-cell’ — like mitochondria-rich cells of salamander larva gill epithelium

Summary Two types of mitochondria-rich cells (MRC) are described ultrastructurally in the gill epithelium of salamander larva. They resemble MRC found in larval ventral epidermis. Histochemical localization of carbonic anhydrase indicated numerous positive reacting cells, most of them flask-shaped. Morphological and functional similarities to fish chloride cells are discussed.     

CO2监测分析仪在监测过程中对桥室温度的恒温控制

CO2监测分析仪在监测过程中,CO2监测值的精度是由CO2监测分析仪的桥室参比温度是否恒定而决定的.老式监测分析仪桥室温度是采用断续的双位恒温调节,其温度调节误差大,一般只能在±1℃左右,所以CO2监测值的精度低.采用微机交流调压的CO2监测分析仪桥室恒温调节,其温度调节器采用PID调节,使桥室温度误差可控制在±0.2℃,提高了CO2监测值的监测精度.
