简介：为探讨迷路的老化过程,应用透射电镜观察了新生、青年、老年豚鼠的耳蜗和迷路血管系统的变化。发现老年豚鼠血浆成分有改变、听力呈下降倾向;毛细胞、迷路血管及螺旋神经和螺旋神经节细胞均可见一系列损害。作者推测在耳蜗老化过程中血管系统的变化非常重要,至少是耳蜗其他部位老年性改变的原因之一。

简介：目的：探讨线粒体膜电位（△ψm）、Caspase3在As2O3诱导ACC-2细胞凋亡中的作用。方法：进行ACC-2细胞培养,将As2O3建立不同药物浓度梯度（0,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0μmol/L）分别作用于ACC-2细胞,用Rh123染色,流式细胞仪检测8.0μmol/LAs2O3作用前、后（24h）,ACC-2细胞的线粒体膜电位（△ψm）变化;用多功能酶标仪进行Caspase3活性检测。结果：空白对照组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度最强,8.0μmol/LAs2O3处理组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度减弱,其差异有显著性（P〈0.05）;随着As2O3药物浓度的增高（0,1,2,4,8μmol/L）,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加。结论：As2O3作用于ACC-2细胞,可通过降低线粒体膜电位从而引起细胞凋亡。随着As2O3药物浓度的增高,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加,Caspase3被激活,细胞可发生不可逆转的凋亡过程。

简介：目的：研究在高糖条件下,从海藻中萃取的新型多糖化合物对高糖诱导的视网膜色素上皮（RPE）细胞异常增殖的保护作用.方法：将体外培养的RPE细胞分为空白组、高糖组和多糖化合物组,空白组为正常RPE细胞培养液,高糖组为含30mmol/L葡萄糖的培养液,多糖化合物组为含30mmol/L葡萄糖和200mg/L多糖化合物的培养液.应用MTT法测量36h内不同时间点（6,12,24和36h）高糖以及多糖化合物对RPE细胞增殖影响.结果：高糖导致RPE细胞异常增殖,多糖化合物组RPE的细胞异常增殖明显得到保护,与高糖组比较差异具有统计学意义（P〈0.01）.结论：从海藻中萃取的新型多糖化合物可以明显保护高糖所导致的RPE细胞的异常增殖.

简介：目的：探讨中老年人膳食碳水化合物及脂肪摄入量与年龄相关白内障（age-relatedcataract,ARC）危险性之间的关系。方法：采用以医院为基础的病例对照研究方法。病例由45～85岁的360例白内障患者组成,对照由同期入住相同医院的360例非白内障的患者组成,采取1∶1匹配。采用自行设计的调查表对研究对象进行调查,内容包括人口学特征、生活方式、以及既往史等,同时还采用一份有效的半定量化食物频率调查表（FFQ）,获取研究对象膳食营养素的摄入情况。应用多因素Logistic回归分析估计碳水化合物及脂肪摄入量与ARC关联的比值比（OR）及其相应的95%可信区间（CI）。结果：调整多种潜在性混杂因素后,碳水化合物摄入量增加可使发生ARC的危险性升高,与摄入量为最低四分位数的对照相比较,摄入量为最高四分位数的病例发生ARC的OR为2.161（95%CI：1.107～5.016,P〈0.001）。同样,多不饱和脂肪酸摄入量也与ARC呈正相关,摄入量为最高四分位数的病例发生ARC危险性是最低四分位数对照的3倍（OR=2.989,95%CI：1.764～5.062,P〈0.001）。总脂肪摄入量与ARC无关（P=0.778）。结论：膳食碳水化合物及多不饱和脂肪酸摄入量增加可使发生ARC的危险性升高,合理营养、平衡膳食可能有助于预防ARC。

简介：变应性鼻炎（AR）是机体接触变应原后发生在鼻黏膜的非感染性炎性反应,肥大细胞（MC）浸润在其发病过程中起着重要作用.新近发现的MC表面受体白介素33受体（IL-33R）、胸腺基质淋巴细胞生成素受体（TSLPR）和Toll样受体4（TLR4）可以促使MC产生Th2相关效应因子,促发且维持Th2偏向,加重AR的免疫炎性反应,是研究和治疗AR潜在的靶点.本文将对上述受体的结构、表达、功能、相应配体、信号转导及其在AR中的作用进行简要概述.
