Circulating ‘trophoblast’ cells in pregnancy have maternal genetic markers

A syncytiotrophoblast-associated antigen identified by the monoclonal antibody (McAb) H315 is detectable on the surface of a low proportion of peripheral blood cells in pregnant women, raising the possibility of a new approach to prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders. We aimed at verifying the trophoblastic origin of H315⁺ cells and their use for prenatal diagnosis of β-thalassaemia. H315 ⁺ cells were separated from the peripheral blood of pregnant women: the DNA obtained from these cells in two selected cases was shown to have genetic markers indistinguishable from those of the mother and definitely different from the fetus. Our results suggest that H315 antigen is expressed by maternal cells and that prenatal diagnosis on peripheral blood of the mother using H315 McAb is not feasible.     

First-trimester prenatal diagnosis of severe alpha-thalassemia

By means of chorion biopsy together with restriction endonuclease analysis of fetal DNA, first trimester diagnoses were successfully made in 33 fetuses at risk for Bart's hydrops fetalis. Seven pregnancies with Hb H or hydrops fetalis were therapeutically terminated before 4 months of gestation. Of the 26 pregnancies intended to continue, 18 have come to term with normal deliveries; one with threatened abortion was terminated at the end of the first trimester and, seven are progresssing normally.     

标准石英粉尘及青石棉直接诱导8-羟基脱氧鸟苷加合物形成的研究

应用液相色谱结合电化学检测技术，研究了标准石英粉尘和青石棉体外诱导DNA分子氧化损伤产生加合物8－羟基脱氧鸟苷的形成与机制。结果表明，石英粉尘和青石棉均可致DNA分子氧化损伤并形成8－羧基脱氧鸟苷，但青石棉作用强于石英粉尘；石英粉尘的青石棉对H2O2氧化DNA的催化能力有较大差异。标准石英粉尘和青石棉，具有直接的遗传毒性；两者诱导DNA分子形成强致突变的8－羧基鸟苷可能是其潜在致癌机制之一。     

沪蓉国道恩施付家坡滑坡稳定性评价研究

沪蓉国道是我国东西向一条重要的主干线,是国家的重点建设工程之一,对西部开发与经济建设起着重要的作用。该主干线恩施付家坡滑坡与付家坡隧道相邻,对沪蓉国道的施工与安全运营存在着安全与质量隐患。本文采用推力传递系数法和有限元法,对沪蓉国道付家坡滑坡的稳定性进行了综合评价研究,并提出了合理有效的滑坡治理措施。     

桂西北明山金矿床表生带矿石中氨基酸的分布特征研究

在总结目前关于氨基酸溶金作用研究成果的基础上,对桂西北明山卡林型金矿床表生带的矿石样品进行了氨基酸的分离、定性和定量研究,结果表明,各种氨基酸的稳定性与所处的成岩成矿环境有关,因此不同环境中对成岩成矿发挥作用的氨基酸种类是不同的,所起的作用也有所差异;进行氨基酸溶金作用模拟实验时应该首先考虑氨基酸在不同成岩成矿环境中的稳定性。结合已有的氨基酸溶金作用模拟实验所得到的认识,对桂西北卡林型金矿成矿过程中氨基酸的作用进行了探讨。     

Prenatal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency by rflp analysis of the 21-hydroxylase,complement C4, and HLA class II genes

In 19 pregnancies at risk for 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) in 18 families with at lea one affected child, prenatal diagnosis was performed by RFLP analysis using the enzymi Taq I and EcoRI and the DNA probes specific for the 21 OH genes, the closely linke complement C4 genes and the highly polymorphic HLA class II genes DRB, DQB, and DPI For fetal DNA analysis either chorionic villi or cultivated amniotic cells were used. In all 1 cases, a clear prenatal diagnosis was possible either with the 21OH probe alone or in mo cases, by combining the results of the different closely linked loci.     

过硫酸钾氧化-紫外光度法测定总氮方法的改进

过硫酸钾氧化紫外光度法测定总氮的空白吸光度高的主要原因是:K2S2O8在220nm波长上有特征吸收,适当降低K2S2O8、NaOH的用量,延长消解时间,使用二次蒸馏水,用低浓度亚砷酸钠溶液,还原消解后剩余的极少量的K2S2O8,可以降低空白吸光度.K2S2O8-NaOH碱溶液不稳定,使用期短,三天后氧化能力迅速降低,原因是:K2S2O8溶液中,加入NaOH,加速了K2S2O8的分解.K2S2O8和NaOH分别配制,并在K2S2O8溶液中,加入少量HCl,抑制其水解.两种溶液可使用丰年以上时间.

Prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis using linked DNA probes

This paper presents data collected in Europe on 107 prenatal diagnoses of cystic fibrosis (CF) using linked DNA markers. To date, 38 children have been born without CF, as predicted, demonstrating the present rapid move from research to clinical genetic service.     

对Janbu普遍条分法计算方法的改进

Janbu普遍条分法(或称严格Janbu法)是第一个基于任意形状滑面且考虑滑体所有平衡条件的边坡稳定性计算方法。该方法存在的严重不收敛问题一直困扰着边坡理论和工程界近半个世纪。本文基于Janbu普遍条分法的基本原理和假设,重新推导出数学上更为简洁的安全系数积分表达式,指出传统计算格式不易收敛性是推力二阶导数的不合理数值误差所致,应用数值平滑技术可减少这个误差,使计算过程稳定收敛。研究表明,改进后的Janbu普遍条分法不失为理论相对严格、工程较为实用的边坡稳定性计算方法。
