Following WBI of male Kunming micc With 75 mGy X-rays at a dose rate of 12.5 mGy/min the mobilization of [Ca2+]i with Con A in CD4+ and CD8+ Cells in the thymus and spleen was potentiated and the amplitude of [Ca2+], mobilization in thymocytes in response to anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody increased with time from 4 to 24 h following low dose radiation. The PKC activity in the homogenate of spleen was markedly stimulated 12 h after WBl with 75 mGy, reaching its peak value at 24-48 h and coming down to lower than normal on day 7. However, the PKC activity in the separated T lymphocytes reached its peak value at 12 h and that in the B lymphocytes reached its peak value on day 4, both coming down to below control on day 7. The implications of this facilitation of signal transduction in T lymphocytes in the mechanism of immunoenhancement after low dose radiation were discussed展开更多

Dietary data from 3-day food records revealed that the mean dietary zinc and copper intakes in Thai pregnant women were 6. 9 and 1. 7mg/d (equivalent to 34 and 69% of Thai RDA), respectively. Fifty-five percent of zinc intake was from animal origin, whereas 59% of copper intake was from plant origin.The infants of the 64 women who were in the study until delivery, were all normal.Most (>96%) of the maternal serum zinc and copper concentrations were within normal ranges. Only one woman at 32th week had low serum zinc level (<6. 4μmol/L). There were no significant correlations between the maternal serum zinc or copper levels and pregnancy outcome (birth weight and birth length). In this study, although the zinc and copper intake in most Thai pregnant women (99 and 58%, respectively) were less than two-thirds of the Thai RDAs, they were not at risk of suffering from zinc and copper deficiencies as determined by serum zine and copper concentrations, abnormal parturition and abnormal pregnancy outcome.展开更多

文摘最近发表了两篇针对广泛应用的蛋白酶抑制剂:抑肽酶(拜耳制药,West Haven,CT)的报告,引发了热烈争论,监管部门也对其安全性进行了回顾。这两篇回顾性的临床观察认为抑肽酶并没有减少手术出血,也没有其他益处,反而使心脏手术后一些不良事件明显增加。然而,一些早期研究已证明抑肽酶在减少失血和输血量方面的有效性,同时显示其安全性在可接受范围,不影响肾功能,不增加血栓事件的风险,甚至能够降低卒中的发生率。在著名杂志上发表的这两项非随机、观察性临床研究与众多严谨的随机试验之间出现了矛盾,需要进行详细的统计学分析。鉴于这些争论,我们总结了已发表的大量肯定抑肽酶有效性和安全性的文献,剖析了新近两篇研究报告的潜在薄弱之处,指出了今后的研究方向,并且简要介绍了正在进行中的高危心脏手术中应用抗纤溶药物以减少失血的随机试验研究(Blood conservation using Antifibrinolytics:Randomized Trial in high-risk cardiac surgery,BART),该研究是比较3种抗纤溶药物规模最大的随机试验。
