简介：目的：研究增殖细胞核抗原（proliferatingcellnuclearanti-gen，PCNA）和胰岛素样生长因子Ⅱ（insulin-likegrowthfactor-Ⅱ，IGF-Ⅱ）在翼状胬肉中表达的关系。方法：应用免疫组织化学SABC法检测40例原发性翼状胬肉组织标本，10例正常结膜组织标本中PCNA和IGF-Ⅱ蛋白的表达情况。结果：翼状胬肉组中PCNA，IGF-Ⅱ表达均高于正常结膜组（P〈0．01），IGF-Ⅱ与PCNA蛋白表达之间的相关系数为0．731（P〈0．01）。结论：翼状胬肉为一种具有肿瘤潜能的增生性眼表疾病。IGF-Ⅱ通过促进细胞增殖参与了翼状胬肉的发生、发展。

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。
