简介:目的检测肝豆状核变性(Wilsondisease,WD)ATP7B基因启动子区的DNA序列,分析其结构,发现存在的突变,通过报告基因瞬时表达研究突变对启动子功能的影响.方法检测36个WD家系71名成员(其中48例WD患者)及20名正常人的基因组DNA序列并进行分析.对发现的突变,进行荧光素酶报告基因瞬时表达研究.结果(1)在正常对照、患者一级亲属和WD患者的启动子区-190、-78和+260位(转录起始点为+1)均发现存在单个碱基的不同;(2)在48例病人中发现3例存在-183位C→T突变,其中2例为纯合突变,另1例为杂合突变,在正常对照、患者一级亲属中未发现此改变;(3)通过荧光素酶报告基因瞬时表达研究,发现-183位C→T突变不影响ATP7B基因启动子的功能.结论本研究在ATP7B基因启动子区未发现存在致病突变,提示ATP7B基因启动子区存在致病突变在中国人群中是不常见的.

简介:目的探讨多b值磁共振弥散加权成像(diffusionweightedimaging,DWI)及表观扩散系数(apparentdiffusioncoefficient,ADC)术前预测垂体腺瘤质地的应用价值。方法选取57例术后病理证实为垂体腺瘤的患者纳入研究。所有患者均在术前进行3.0TMRI多b值DWI扫描(b=0,b=1000s/mm2,b=2000s/mm2),以及内分泌激素检查。选取两种b值(b=1000、2000s/mm2)重建ADC图,并获取肿瘤实质区域的ADC值。根据术中肿瘤质地将患者分为质软组及质韧组;比较两种b值下,质软组与质韧组ADC均值的差异性;并分析肿瘤质地与患者性别、年龄、激素分型及肿瘤胶原含量的相关性。结果b1000中,质软组与质韧组ADC均值的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);b2000中,两组间ADC均值的差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。在b1000和b2000中,肿瘤质地与患者年龄、性别及激素分型均无明显相关性;而质软组的肿瘤胶原含量均明显低于质韧组(均P<0.05)。结论垂体腺瘤的质地与ADC值及肿瘤胶原含量有密切关系,与患者的性别、年龄及激素分型无关。DWI和ADC可在术前预测肿瘤质地,为手术入路的选择提供影像学依据。
简介:S100蛋白是一种分子量较小(10~12ku)的EF-手型钙结合蛋白,通过对钙离子的调节及与靶蛋白的相互作用,在体内发挥多种生物学作用.在细胞增殖、分化,肌肉收缩、基因表达、分泌及细胞凋亡中发挥重要作用。1965年Moore等首先在牛脑组织中发现S100蛋白,因其在中性饱和硫酸铵中100%溶解而得名。现已发现S100蛋白家族成员20个,S100B蛋白为其中一员,

简介:目的:探讨低频段小探头B超(LFSPU;频率范围3-9MHz)在神经外科手术中的应用价值。方法收集2014年1月至2014年12月利用LFSPU辅助颅脑手术的病例98例,其中脑肿瘤68例,脑脓肿12例,婴幼儿脑积水分流手术10例,脑内血肿8例。结果婴幼儿前囟或3cm×2cm骨窗即可满足LFSPU探头置放和探测需求,探测距离在7cm以上,探测到最小病灶直径为1.0cm,最深5.5cm。LFSPU均显示所有病灶、脑室端分流管和脓肿穿刺针,定位成功率为100%;肿瘤病灶切除后,术中LFSPU发现残留肿瘤23例,继续切除16例(病理学证实为肿瘤13例),7例因残留病灶位于重要区域未进一步切除。结论术中LFSPU可通过小骨窗和未闭前囟进行探测,实时动态监测手术过程,在神经外科手术中有重要的临床价值。

简介:目的:研究脑肿瘤手术前后血清S100B蛋白水平的改变,并分析其与患者临床资料的相关性,评估血清S100B对术后脑损伤的反映能力。方法30例胶质瘤、28例脑膜瘤和15例听神经瘤患者于手术前(入院时)、手术后第1d、第3d、第7d分别采集血清;同时记录患者手术时长、肿瘤WHO级别、肿瘤体积、脑水肿体积、KPS等临床资料。设正常对照组33例,采集单次血清。用双抗体夹心法ELISA检测血清S100B含量。将手术前后血清S100B水平进行重复测量方差分析;将血清S100B水平与手术时长、肿瘤体积等临床资料进行相关性分析。结果术前血清S100B水平在各脑肿瘤组之间的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),胶质瘤组、脑膜瘤组则高于正常对照组(均P<0.05)。术后第1d、第3d血清S100B含量无明显改变(P>0.05),术后第7d时高于手术前水平(P<0.05),这种趋势在3个脑肿瘤组之间并无差别。在胶质瘤组中,术后第3、7d血清S100B含量与术后脑水肿体积呈正相关(均P<0.05);术后第1d、第3d血清S100B含量与胶质瘤病理级别呈正相关(均P<0.05)。在听神经瘤组中,手术前、术后第3d血清S100B含量与听神经瘤肿瘤体积呈负相关(均P<0.05),术后第7d血清S100B水平与手术时长呈正相关(P<0.05)。脑膜瘤组内未见任何相关性。结论血清S100B对脑肿瘤切除术后的脑损伤反映较差,其含量升高可能与损伤后神经修复活动有关。血清S100B含量与胶质瘤的病理级别、术后脑水肿程度有一定的相关性,与听神经瘤体积及手术时长存在相关性。脑肿瘤术前血清S100B升高可能反映了肿瘤对脑实质的压迫损伤。
简介:目的研究红藻氨酸(KA)致痫大鼠海马S100B、降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)的表达及病理改变。方法雄性SD大鼠按照完全随机数字表法分成对照组(8只)和模型组(40只),模型组再根据处死时间分为造模后6h、12h、24h、72h、1周5个亚组,每组8只。模型组采用KA建立颞叶癫痫动物模型,对照组用等体积生理盐水代替KA注射。模型组造模后6h、12h、24h、72h、1周.对照组注射后24h取大鼠海马组织行Niss1染色、Timm染色和免疫组化染色,观察S100B、CGRP蛋白的表达情况以及海马神经元和胶质细胞的病理变化。结果Nissl染色结果显示,模型组大鼠1周后CA3区出现大量固缩的坏死神经元,胞体萎缩,尼氏体消失。Timm染色结果显示,模型组大鼠1周后CA3区始层出现条带状分布的棕色颗粒,齿状回内分子层亦可见少量棕色颗粒。免疫组化染色结果显示,模型组大鼠海马CGRP蛋白大量表达,72h时达到高峰,同时伴随大量神经元丧失及胶质细胞增生。结论KA致痫大鼠出现S100B、CGRP蛋白高表达,尼氏体消失,苔藓纤维发芽等一系列病理学改变,推测S100B、CGRP蛋白参与了癫痫发生。
