Abstract
The Fas/APO-1 cytotoxic pathway plays an important role in the regulation of peripheral immunity. Recent evidence indicates that this regulatory function operates through deletion of activated T and B lymphocytes by CD4+ T cells expressing the Fas ligand. Because macrophages play a key role in peripheral immunity, we asked whether Fas was involved in T-cell-macrophage interactions. Two-color flow cytometry revealed that Fas receptor (FasR) was expressed on resting murine peritoneal macrophages. FasR expression was upregulated after activation of macrophages with cytokines or lipopolysaccharide, although only tumor necrosis factor-alpha rendered macrophages sensitive to anti-FasR antibody-mediated death. To determine the consequence of antigen presentation by macrophages to CD4+ T cells, macrophages were pulsed with antigen and then incubated with either Th1 or Th2 cell lines or clones. Th1, but not Th2, T cells induced lysis of 60-80% of normal macrophages, whereas macrophages obtained from mice with mutations in the FasR were totally resistant to Th1-mediated cytotoxicity. Macrophage cytotoxicity depended upon specific antigen recognition by T cells and was major histocompatibility complex restricted. These findings indicate that, in addition to deletion of activated lymphocytes, Fas plays an important role in deletion of activated macrophages after antigen presentation to Th1 CD4+ T cells. Failure to delete macrophages that constitutively present self-antigens may contribute to the expression of autoimmunity in mice deficient in FasR (lpr) or Fas ligand (gld).

Abstract
Physiological mechanisms causing reduction of metabolic rate during torpor in heterothermic endotherms are controversial. The original view that metabolic rate is reduced below the basal metabolic rate because the lowered body temperature reduces tissue metabolism has been challenged by a recent hypothesis which claims that metabolic rate during torpor is actively downregulated and is a function of the differential between body temperature and ambient temperature, rather than body temperature per se. In the present study, both the steady-state metabolic rate and body temperature of torpid stripe-faced dunnarts, Sminthopsis macroura (Dasyuridae: Marsupialia), showed two clearly different phases in response to change of air temperature. At air temperatures between 14 and 30 degrees C, metabolic rate and body temperature decreased with air temperature, and metabolic rate showed an exponential relationship with body temperature (r2 = 0.74). The Q10 for metabolic rate was between 2 and 3 over the body temperature range of 16 to 32 degrees C. The difference between body temperature and air temperature over this temperature range did not change significantly, and the metabolic rate was not related to the difference between body temperature and air temperature (P = 0.35). However, the apparent conductance decreased with air temperature. At air temperatures below 14 degrees C, metabolic rate increased linearly with the decrease of air temperature (r2 = 0.58) and body temperature was maintained above 16 degrees C, largely independent of air temperature. Over this air temperature range, metabolic rate was positively correlated with the difference between body temperature and air temperature (r2 = 0.61). Nevertheless, the Q10 for metabolic rate between normothermic and torpid thermoregulating animals at the same air temperature was also in the range of 2-3.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Since 1986, we have performed total cystectomy or partial cystectomy with ureteroneocystostomy in 64 cases and prostatectomy in 182 cases. 5 cases developed vena iliaca external thrombosis (VIET) or thrombophlebitis postoperatively. Three of them recovered after treatment, and 2 died of pulmonary embolism 7 and 16 days after operations. VIET is a very serious complication. Once develops pulmonary embolism, the patient may die soon. We suggested that patients be encouraged to increase limbs activities, be given medicines of antilipemic and antiatherogenic preoperatively. And during the surgical operation, patients' blood pressure should be kept steady, and hypopietic shock should be avoided as long as possible. The vena iliaca external should never be constricted when a deep hook is used for exposure or gauze is used to stop bleeding. After operation, the patient should be encouraged to exercise on bed or around bed as early as possible, so as to increase venous flow. The veins of lower limbs should be avoided by using infusion. Styptic should not be applied abusively. Infusion of dextranum-40 and orally taking of persantinum may also be used to prevent this kind of complication.

Abstract
The effect of acupuncture at Neiguan (P 6) on regulating hemorrhagic shock in 90 rabbits was observed. All the results suggested that acupuncture at Neiguan could raise blood pressure, protect cardiac pump function, correct the disturbance of secretion and metabolism of humoral factors, reduce blood adhesion to normal level and thus achieve anti-hemorrhagic shock. This study has provided scientific basis for expounding the mechanism of acupuncture in anti-shock.

Abstract
Four carcinogenic volatile nitrosamines (N-dimethylnitrosamine, NDMA; N-diethylnitrosamine, NDEA; N-nitrosopyrroline, NPYR; and N-nirosopiperilidine, NPIP) were screened in twenty specimens of salted fish collected from areas in China with different nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) mortality rates. The highest NDMA, NDEA and total N-nitrosamine contents (322.92, 50.27 and 373.19 micrograms/kg, respectively) were found in the samples from Sihui, one of the areas with highest NPC mortality. The lowest contents (12.64, 7.65 and 20.29 micrograms/kg, respectively) were seen in the samples from Shanghai, the area with the lowest mortality from NPC in the study. These results confirm that there are appreciable levels of nitrosamines in the salted fishes consumed by residents in high-risk areas of NPC in China.

Abstract
In this paper, the model of rat infected EHFV was made and the influence of moxibustion on TXA2 and PGI2 in its plasma was observed. The results show that the content of TXA2 increased and PGI2 decreased in rat significantly after the abdominal inoculation of EHFV, and the content of TXA2 decreased and PGI2 increased markedly in rat infected EHFV to normal level after treatment with moxibustion, suggesting that the regulative function of moxibustion on TXA2 and PGI2 is one of its nerve-endocrine-immune regulations to the body, and there is an important significance. This study provides an important reference for mechanism exploration of moxibustion preventing and treating EHF.

Abstract
SC1001A is a new sedative, hypnotic and anti-epileptic drug. Screening for possible mutagenicity of the agent consisted of a battery scheme of short-term mutagenic tests with different hereditary detecting end points. Three assays were with in the scheme: Ames test (for detecting gene mutation in vitro), micronucleus test (for detecting chromosomal aberration in vivo) and CHL (Chinese hamster lung cell line) test (for detecting chromosomal aberration in vitro). In addition, a routine teratogenicity study on SC1001A was carried out in mice. They were given daily at 3-dose levels (exposed to up to 33% of the LD50 by gastric incubation from the 6th through the 15th day of gestation. SC1001A gave uniformly negative results in all three mutagenic assay systems. Results of the teratogenic experiment showed that only the pregnant rate in bred mice in the moderate dose group and the mean maternal body weight gain of the dams during gestation in the low dose group were significantly lower than those in the corresponding control group. A clear dose-response relationship was not demonstrated. All dose levels of SC1001A used caused no adverse effects on the number of survival fetuses per litter, growth or development of the fetal mice. No malformations in the external appearance, of the internal organs and of the skeletal systems in fetal mice were observed. The above-mentioned results indicated that SC1001A induced neither gene mutation nor chromosomal damage both in vitro and in vivo. There was no evidence of teratogenesis. Therefore, it is estimated that SC1001A is probably comparatively safe as a pharmaceutical product for human beings in usual dosage.

Abstract
During 1985 a survey of the physical growth of 175,290 Chinese children less than 7 years in age was undertaken in the urban and rural areas of ten provinces. The results of weight, height, and head circumference are similar to those generally found as regards the differences between boys and girls. The children in rural areas were lighter and shorter. From the age of 3-6 months onwards the weights and heights of all groups were less than international standards. Nutrition is probably the major factor in these differences in growth.
