[Effect of dextran combination with flurosemide on nephrotic syndrome].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diuretic effect of coadministration of dextran and flurosemide with that of coadministration of Albumin and flurosemide on primary nephrotic syndrome. METHODS: In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, eighteen primary nephrotic syndrome patients on standard sodium chloride intake, random by divided into three groups and received by intravenous administration for 60 minutes for three days (a) FU (1 mg.kg-1) combination with a sham infusion, (b) FU (1 mg.kg-1) combination with 50 ml of 20% solution of Albumin, or (c) FU (1 mg/kg) combination with 250 ml dextran 40. Urinary volume, sodium and plasma atrial nartiuretic peptide concentration were assessed. RESULTS: The results showed that administration of FU alone increased mean cumulative urinary sodium and volume excretion as compared with the administration of sham infusion without treatment (P < 0.05). The administration of FU and albumin or FU and dextran 40 caused an even more marked increase of urinary sodium and volume excretion (P < 0.01), as compared with the administration of sham infusion without treatment. Plasma ANP increased significantly on both albumin infusion days and dextran 40 infusion days (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Coadministration of albumin and FU or dextran 40 and FU can increase the urinary volume and urinary Na and ANP significantly, dextran 40 can take the place of albumin because there was no difference between the administration of FU and albumin and FU and dextran in UV, Una and ANP.

[High-level expression of BYDV GAV coat protein gene in Escherichia coli].

The IPTG-inducible expression vector containing the BYDV GAV coat protein gene was constructed and transferred into E. coli BL21(DE3). High-level expression of the specific protein was achieved by IPTG induction. The results of SDS-PAGE and Western blotting show that the expression product which accumulates 19.5% of the total cellular proteins estimated by scanning is 24 kD BYDV GAV coat protein plus eleven amino acids of pET-5a.

Study on micronucleus frequency in peripheral lymphocytes in workers of match factories.

This paper reports the results of the study of micronucleus frequency in peripheral lymphocytes in workers exposed to soft wood dust (poplar and linden wood) in match factories. 298 workers exposed to soft wood dust in three match factories were defined as exposure group and 45 waiters in a restaurant as control group. The frequency of micronucleus in peripheral lymphocytes was examined and the control's 95% confidential upper limit >, 4/1000 was defined as the standard to determine the positivity. The positive rate in the exposure group was 36.2% while that in the control group was only 4.4%; the difference is significant (P < 0.01). As the coefficient of correlation between length of work and positive rate was 0.86 (P < 0.01), a dose/time-response is in existence. Meanwhile, the analysis of relation between quantity of smoking and positive rate eliminated the effect of smoking on variation of positive rates. In this paper, we also discussed the relation between positive rates and wood dust concentrations in different worksites and we think that the volatile and unsteady substances in soft wood dust are micronucleus-inducing matters.
