Effects of hormone replacement therapy on endothelial function in menopausal women

Objective To observe the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on endothelial function in menopausal women. Methods A total of 30 menopausal women were treated with 2.5 mg of Tibolone (Livial) daily. At the same time, 30 women with natural menopause without any treatment served as the control group. Endothelium-dependent (EDD), endothelium-independent (NID) vasodilatation function, and estradiol (E2) were examined by the non-invasive high-resolution ultrasonography before the treatment and at 12th, 24th, 36th and 48th week of treatment, respectively. Results After hormone treatment, E2 increased significantly and EDD was improved significantly (P<0.05), and E2 was positively related with EDD (r=0.8092, P<0.001). No change of EDD was observed in the control group whereas a significant increase was observed in the treatment group. Conclusion Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation dysfunction is prominent in menopausal women. Tibolone can help improve the condition.     

肠易激综合征模型大鼠血清酪酪肽水平及其受体特性的测定

目的 通过测定肠易激综合征(IBS)大鼠血清酪酪肽(PYY)水平及其空肠黏膜上皮细胞PYY受体的变化,探讨IBS的发病机制.方法 将SD大鼠随机分成IBS腹泻型组(D-IBS组)、IBS便秘型组(C-IBS组)及对照组,应用同位素放射免疫法测定各组PYY水平及反映受体特性的两个参数:平衡解离常数(Kd)和最大结合容量值(Bmax).结果 ①D-IBS组血清PYY水平为(66.50±32.10)pg/mL,与正常对照组的(15.33±10.63)pg/mL比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001);C-IBS组血清PYY水平为(19.51±17.62)pg/mL,与正常对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).②D-IBS组Kd=203.29±77.14,Bmax=645.71±184.30;C-IBS组Kd=347.43±162.76,Bmax=671.86±162.96,与正常组(Kd=328.75±92.11,Bmax=880.00±410.70)比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05).结论 IBS可能与血清PYY水平的高低有关而与其受体的变化无关.     

胃癌癌旁及非癌胃粘膜内分泌细胞的研究

用胃泌素及生长抑素兔抗人抗体，ABC疫组化法，对55例手术之胃癌癌旁粘膜及67例非癌胃粘膜中的G细胞及D细胞进行了定位计数，观察其数值变化，初步探讨它们在胃癌发生发展中的作用。结果显示癌旁窦粘膜中G细胞及D细胞每平方毫米的平均数显著低于正常及CSG窦粘膜（P＜0．01及P＜0．05）。提示当窦粘膜内G细胞及D细胞的数量减少至正常值的1／3左右时，胃粘膜上皮严重失去激素的营养调节作用，容易接受内外源性致癌物的作用而发生癌变。
