Serotonergic projections from the midbrain periaqueductal gray and nucleus raphe dorsalis to the nucleus parafasccicularis of the thalamus

By a double-labeling method combining the retrograde tracing of horseradish peroxidase and the immunocytochemical technique, serotonin-like immunoreactive neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) and nucleus raphe dorsalis (DR) of the rat were observed to send projection fibers to the nucleus parafascicularis of the thalamus bilaterally with an ipsilateral dominance. These serotonin-containing projecting neurons were observed mainly at the middle-caudal levels of the ventrolateral subdivision of the PAG and less at the middle-rostral levels of the DR.     

The use of 6-flavor Rehmannia decoction with additives in the prevention of ototoxic deafness induced by gentamicin in guinea pigs]

The purpose of this study is to discuss the effects of the Chinese medicine six-flavor Rehmannia Decoction with additives on preventing deafness induced by gentamicin (GM) in guinea pig by means of testing the thresholds of Preyer's reflex (PR) cochlear microphonic potential (CM), action potential of the auditory nerve (N1) and scanning electron microscope of inner ear (SEM). The results showed that the medicine is effective in reducing the ototoxic effect of GM on inner ear.     

Teriparatide increases bone formation in modeling and remodeling osteons and enhances IGF-II immunoreactivity in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Transiliac bone biopsies were obtained from 55 women treated with teriparatide or placebo for 12-24 months. We report direct evidence that modeling bone formation at quiescent surfaces was present only in teriparatide-treated patients and bone formation at remodeling sites was higher with teriparatide than placebo. INTRODUCTION: Recombinant teriparatide [human PTH(1-34)], a bone formation agent for the treatment of osteoporosis when given once daily subcutaneously, increases biochemical markers of bone turnover and activation frequency in histomorphometry studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied the mechanisms underlying this bone-forming action of teriparatide at the basic multicellular unit by the appearance of cement lines, a method used to directly classify surfaces as modeling or remodeling osteons, and by the immunolocalization of IGF-I and IGF-II. Transiliac bone biopsies were obtained from 55 postmenopausal women treated with teriparatide 20 or 40 microg or placebo for 12-24 months (median, 19.8 months) in the Fracture Prevention Trial. RESULTS: A dose-dependent relationship was observed in modeling and mixed remodeling/modeling trabecular hemiosteons. Trabecular and endosteal hemiosteon mean wall thicknesses were significantly higher in both teriparatide groups than in placebo. There was a dose-dependent relationship in IGF-II immunoreactive staining at all bone envelopes studied. The greater local IGF-II presence after treatment with teriparatide may play a key role in stimulating bone formation. CONCLUSIONS: Direct evidence is presented that 12-24 months of teriparatide treatment induced modeling bone formation at quiescent surfaces and resulted in greater bone formation at remodeling sites, relative to placebo.     

浅谈多媒体教学中存在的问题及对策

分析了目前多媒体教学中存在的一些问题，提出了一些提高多媒体教学质量的途径和方法。     

Cervifix内固定系统在枕颈融合术中的应用

目的 介绍Cervifix枕颈内固定系统在枕颈融合术中的应用并评价其疗效。方法 对6例由新鲜创伤和25例由陈旧性创伤、先天畸形、类风湿引起的枕颈失稳病例，采用Cervifix系统进行枕颈融合术；随访手术效果。结果 全部病例得到随访，随访时间9～37个月。3l例均获得骨性融合。内固定无松动，移位和断裂等并发症。脊髓神经功能有不同程度恢复。l例在术中发现有椎动脉损伤，术后无相关症状出现。所有病例未出现与内固定有关的神经脊髓损伤和脑脊液漏等并发症。结论 Cervifix系统固定可靠，器械安装方便，手术操作虽有一定难度，但仍是目前枕颈融合内固定的较好方法：     

大鼠马桑内酯急性局灶型癫痫大脑运动皮质的形态计量研究

用微量马桑内酯注入Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠左侧前肢运动皮质，造成急性局灶型癫痫。用光镜、电镜和体视学方法研究其运动皮质第Ｖ层结构的改变。结果显示：癫痫大鼠运动皮质灶区、灶旁区的神经细胞数和胶质细胞数均分别比对照大鼠灶区和灶旁区显著减少；灶区神经毡中突触性终末数，显著减少；突触性终末的面积分数明显减少，而树突的面积分数无变化；神经胶质突起的面积分数增加。     

先天性心脏病患儿肺动脉,上腔静脉血一氧化氮含量检测及意义

目的:探讨一氧化氮(NO)与先天性心脏病(CHD)引起的肺动脉高压(PH)发病间的关系。方法:应用NO试剂盒检测了CHD患儿肺动脉及上腔静脉血浆中NO含量。结果;(1)伴PH组肺动脉血浆NO含量明显高于不伴肺动脉高压组(37.58±9.99μmol/L:19.03±15.25μmol/L,P<0.01);(2)在PH组中,肺动脉血浆NO含量明显高于上腔静脉血(P<0.01);而不伴PH组,肺动脉和上腔静脉血浆NO含量无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论:(1)伴PH的先心患儿肺动脉血浆NO含量升高;(2)NO可能介入了CHD引起的PH发病过程。
