正常及良性前列腺增生组织中表皮生长因子活性的测定

为了解表皮生长因子在前列腺组织中的作用，利用免疫组织化学方法和竟争放射受体法对人正常和良性前列腺增生组织中表皮生长因子的组织定位和活性进行了检测。结果表明表皮生长因子主要定位于前列腺的分泌上皮细胞，正常前列腺和良性前列腺增生组织中表皮生长因子的活性无显著性差异。提示前列腺组织中表皮生长因子的主要作用可能并非在于调节前列腺上皮细胞的增殖。     

X线和苏拉明联合应用诱导肾癌GRC—1细胞凋亡的研究

为寻求敏感而有效的治疗肾癌的方法，采用Ｘ线照射和不同剂量的苏拉明联合应用的方法诱导肾癌ＧＲＣ１细胞凋亡，以原位缺口末端标记和ＤＮＡ片断梯度电泳分析法检测。结果显示：本法可诱导肾癌ＧＲＣ１细胞凋亡，并随苏拉明剂量的增加，凋亡细胞增多（最高６８．２％）。随时间延长凋亡细胞数增多（最高达６６．２％）。ＤＮＡ片断梯度电泳分析表明，随苏拉明剂量增加和给药后时间的延长，ＤＮＡ片断梯度改变更加明显。结果提示Ｘ线和苏拉明联合应用治疗肾癌，可望取得良好的治疗效果。     

Root avulsion of brachial plexus in infants and children.

Twenty-one patients, under 6 years of age, with root avulsion of the brachial plexus were treated from 1975 to 1987. Among them, 9 had root avulsion of the upper trunk, 2 root avulsion of the lower trunk with middle trunk broken, and 10 root avulsion of the whole brachial plexus. Follow-up of 16 patients showed excellent results in 2 patients, good in 11, fair in 1 and poor in 2. It is suggested that good results can be obtained if multi-paired nerve transfer is adopted in treatment. We conclude that owing to anatomical and physiological characteristics of the respiratory system in children, it is harmful to perform phrenic nerve transfer concomitantly with intercostal nerve transfer. Advisably, two-stage operation is required, otherwise dyspnea and pneumonia are liable to occur. In addition, the time of the operation could be extended to 4-5 years after injury in children, but best results are obtained if the operation is performed within 1 year.

     

Pulmonary artery balloon counterpulsation for right ventricular failure after right ventriculotomy in the swine

To assess the efficacy of intrapulmonary balloon counterpulsation in the management of right ventricular failure after right ventriculotomy, we undertook an experimental study in a swine model. To mimic the clinical settings more closely, (1) we left the automatic control of the heart intact (2) did not use cardiopulmonary bypass to support the left side of the heart, and (3) induced right ventricular failure by means of a generous surgical incision (50% to 70% of the anterior wall) of the right ventricle. The criteria set for right ventricular failure were (1) 50% increase in right ventricular end-diastolic pressure, (2) 30% decrease in mean arterial pressure, and (3) 30% decrease in cardiac output. Right ventricular failure was attained in all animals studied: A 230% increase in right ventricular end-diastolic pressure, a 43% decrease in cardiac output, and a 34% decrease in mean arterial pressure were evident after the right ventriculotomy. A specially designed intrapulmonary balloon catheter (Datascope Corp., Oakland, N.J.) was placed into the left pulmonary artery through the right ventricular outflow tract. A Datascope console was used for counterpulsation. Effects of counterpulsation for 40 minutes in a 1:1 mode were assessed after surgical induction of right ventricular failure in 14 swine. Each animal served as its own control. The mean hemodynamic changes are outlined: Right ventricular end-diastolic pressure decreased by 48.9% (p = 0.01). Mean arterial pressure increased by 68.8% (p = 0.01) and cardiac output by 44.2% (p = 0.01). Histologic studies disclosed no morphologic damage to the pulmonary artery or valve in the specimens analyzed. In addition, these results were compared with those in a second group of seven swine in which right ventricular failure was induced by right ventriculotomy and a balloon was placed into the left pulmonary artery but not activated. These results of short-term counterpulsation should be evaluated in a longer term model so as to mimic more closely the clinical setting. If the hemodynamic benefits are duplicated, intrapulmonary balloon counterpulsation should be considered as a simple, effective device when right ventricular failure develops after right ventriculotomy. It effectively improves right ventricular function without damaging the pulmonary artery or valve.     

微波等离子体化学气相沉积合成TiN超细颗粒

热力学计算表明，Ｈ２，Ｎ２的过量有助于提高ＴｉＮ的产率，但能耗也相应增加。为此考察了温度，流量，ＴｉＣｌ４携带量，混合方式对产物性能的影响。结果表明，流量增加，温度升高，ＴｉＣｌ４携带量增加，混合愈好，则产物粒径愈小。在此基础上采用微波等离子体化学气相沉积法，合成了粒径为１２３－２８４ｎｍ的ＴｉＮ超细颗粒     

老年重症急性胰腺炎手术治疗探讨

目的：讨论老年重症急性胰腺炎的手术治疗。方法：我院1984年1月－2000年10月共收治60岁以上手术证实的重症急性胰腺炎26例，本对其手术治疗的方法和时机以及相应的并发症和死亡率进行回顾性分析。结果：本组术后死亡6例，其中4例死于MOF，2例死于ARDS。在发病24小时内手术8例中无1例死亡，24－36小时内手术14例有2例死亡，36小时后手术4例均死亡。结论：老年重症胰腺炎患多伴有心、肺、肾等重要器官慢性疾病，脏器代偿功能差，较易出现MOF，因此如有手术指证或经短期非手术治疗效果不明显，应及时手术，并在术中和术后采用合理的治疗措施，有利于减少术后并发症，降低手术死亡率。     

山莨菪碱防治甘油所致急性肾功能衰竭的实验研究

在１２９只ＳＤ大鼠的实验中动态观察了山莨菪碱对甘油所致急性肾功能衰竭时不同时期的Ｂｃｒ，ＢＵＮ，ｐＨ病理改变及死亡率的影响，结果表明：山莨菪碱能降低ＡＲＦ第５天大鼠死亡率以及Ｂｃｒ，ＢＵＮ水平。改善病理损害，对ＡＲＦ起到预防及治疗效果，山莨菪碱的预防效果优于治疗效果，预防是ＡＲＦ防治的关键，但山莨菪碱在治疗过程中要引起“冲刷综合征”导致洗脱性酸中毒，应引起注意。     

肝癌患者用生物免疫制剂后单核细胞及枯否细胞体外抗人肝癌细胞效应

15例肝癌患者施行外科治疗,12例兼用卡介苗、混合菌苗及干扰素,3例不用免疫治疗为对照。分离患者血单核细胞(MC)与淋巴细胞(LC)及肝枯否细胞(KC),以人肝癌细胞株为靶细胞(TC)。结果:①首次用免疫制剂7d后,MC对TC抑增殖作用及杀伤作用明显高于用药前,3次用药后MC抑TC效应提高至84％,对照组的仍为45％;②首次用药后7d,KC对TC的抑增殖率和杀伤率分别较对照组高0.5倍和1倍;③用免疫制剂后,血T细胞总数及Th数持续升高,T_s则显著下降。研究表明三联免疫制剂可有效地增强患者抗肝癌细胞的免疫功能。
