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。

简介：目的研究C-MYC蛋白表达在雏鸡耳蜗毛细胞庆大霉素损伤后再生过程中的意义。方法采用C-MYC蛋白单克隆抗体免疫组织化学技术,检测雏鸡内耳基底乳头庆大霉素损伤后修复1、3、7、14、21和28天时C-MYC蛋白表达情况。结果损伤后修复的早期,C-MYC蛋白首先在基底乳头的部分支持细胞中高水平表达,随后腔面细胞亦有明显表达,修复第七天时,C-MYC蛋白在基底乳头中表达水平达高峰。结论C-MYC蛋白高水平表达可能与毛细胞再生的前体细胞增殖密切相关。

简介：目的：探讨线粒体膜电位（△ψm）、Caspase3在As2O3诱导ACC-2细胞凋亡中的作用。方法：进行ACC-2细胞培养,将As2O3建立不同药物浓度梯度（0,1.0,2.0,4.0,8.0μmol/L）分别作用于ACC-2细胞,用Rh123染色,流式细胞仪检测8.0μmol/LAs2O3作用前、后（24h）,ACC-2细胞的线粒体膜电位（△ψm）变化;用多功能酶标仪进行Caspase3活性检测。结果：空白对照组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度最强,8.0μmol/LAs2O3处理组ACC-2细胞内Rh123荧光强度减弱,其差异有显著性（P〈0.05）;随着As2O3药物浓度的增高（0,1,2,4,8μmol/L）,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加。结论：As2O3作用于ACC-2细胞,可通过降低线粒体膜电位从而引起细胞凋亡。随着As2O3药物浓度的增高,ACC-2细胞的Caspase3酶活力单位逐渐增加,Caspase3被激活,细胞可发生不可逆转的凋亡过程。
