磁共振脑径线测量对多系统萎缩的诊断价值

目的 研究磁共振脑径线测量对于多系统萎缩(MSA)的诊断价值.方法 11例MSA患者,可能MSA 2例,拟诊MSA 9例.其中以帕金森综合征为主要表现(MSA-P)5例,以小脑性共济失调为主要表现(MSA-C)6例.健康对照组6名,病例对照组9例(帕金森病1例、其他类型的帕金森综合征8例).选取反映脑干、小脑和基底节形态学的径线进行测量,计算全脑三维体积,比较各项参数的组间差异.结果 MSA组的脑桥横径(mm,下同)明显短于健康对照组和病例对照组(27.6±2.0、30.5±0.6、29.9±1.1),MSA患者的四脑室前后径(11.9±2.8)明显长于健康对照(9.0±2.1).MSA-C组的脑桥横径明显短于健康对照组和病例对照组(27.2±2.1、30.5±0.6、29.9±1.1).MSA-C患者的四脑室前后径和横径(12.8±2.6和9.0±2.1)明显长于健康对照(17.3±2.1和13.8±1.7).MSA-P患者的脑桥横径较健康对照组短(28.2±1.8、30.5±0.6).MSA-P患者的苍白球最长径(23.7±5.0)和红核直径(6.6±0.8)明显较MSA-C患者(29.7±2.4和8.2±0.4)短.MSA-C患者的第四脑室横径较MSA-P患者宽(17.3±2.1、12.6±2.7),小脑中脚宽度较MSA-P患者缩短(13.3±1.9、15.8±1.2).结论 磁共振脑体积径线测量对于MSA患者脑组织局部萎缩的程度提供了量化的手段.脑桥的横径缩短可以客观地反映MSA患者脑桥的萎缩,但不能用于区分MSA-P和MSA-C.MSA-C患者更易出现第四脑室的扩大和MCP的萎缩,MSA-P患者更易出现红核萎缩.

A case of primary omental torsion presenting as an acute abdominal pain]

Torsion of greater omentum is a rare cause of acute abdomen. However, it should be included in the differential diagnoses in addition to acute cholecystitis, acute appendicitis, cecal diverticulitis, and other variable causes of acute abdomen. Diagnosis is usually made at laparotomy for suspected appendicitis. In some cases, computed tomography demonstrates a successful preoperative detection of omental torsion. We report a case of surgically and pathologically proven torsion with subsequent infarction of greater omentum presented as an acute abdominal pain.     

Repositioning of the gingival margin by extrusion.

In this case report, orthodontic intervention was used to move the gingival margin of a maxillary canine incisally by almost 9 mm to mimic a lateral incisor. Increasing the thickness of the labial plate of bone of the canine and subsequently increasing the thickness of the attached gingiva before extrusion prevented gingival recession at a later stage. In many situations, orthodontic treatment can achieve results that could not be attained by restorations and other means of cosmetic dentistry, especially when dealing with gingival margins and gingival height. A step-by-step approach to achieving these treatment objectives is described.     

Celecoxib induces functional recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage with reduction of brain edema and perihematomal cell death.

The selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor has been reported to have antiinflammatory, neuroprotective, and antioxidant effects in ischemia models. In this study, the authors examined whether a selective COX-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) reduces cerebral inflammation and edema after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and whether functional recovery is sustained with longer treatment. ICH was induced using collagenase in adult rats. Celecoxib (10 or 20 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 20 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours after ICH and then daily thereafter. Seventy-two hours after ICH induction, the rats were killed for histologic assessment and measurement of brain edema and prostaglandin E2. Behavioral tests were performed before and 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after ICH. The brain water content of celecoxib-treated rats decreased both in lesioned and nonlesioned hemispheres in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the ICH-only group, the number of TUNEL-positive, myeloperoxidase-positive, or OX42-positive cells was decreased in the periphery of hematoma and brain prostaglandin E2 level was reduced in the celecoxib-treated group. Celecoxib-treated rats recovered better by the behavioral tests at 7 days after ICH throughout the 28-day period, and the earlier the drug was administered, the better the functional recovery. Evidence of similar effects in an autologous blood-injected model showed that direct collagenase toxicity was not the major cause of inflammation or cell death. These data suggest that celecoxib treatment after ICH reduces prostaglandin E2 production, brain edema, inflammation, and perihematomal cell death in the perihematomal zone and induces better functional recovery.     

Effects of cocaine, exercise, and resting conditions on plasma corticosterone and catecholamine concentrations in the rat

Cocaine and exercise are both known as stressors, but little is known about the combined effects of these two treatments. In this study, rats under the influence of cocaine (12.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally [IP]) or saline were exposed to a variety of resting conditions, as well as exercise (running, 26 m/min, 10% grade, for 30 minutes), to evaluate the amount of stress imposed by these conditions as determined by the changes in the plasma concentrations of corticosterone (C) and catecholamines (norepinephrine [NE], epinephrine [E], dopamine [DA]). After injection of saline, resting near the operating treadmill for 30 minutes caused the concentration of C to increase from 0.07 +/- 0.03 to 0.30 +/- 0.05 microgram/mL (P less than .05), compared to the increase to only 0.15 +/- 0.04 micrograms/mL after resting in a cage. This increase due to proximity to the treadmill subsided after 50 minutes. After cocaine, the 30-minute resting values were 0.70 +/- 0.15 (treadmill) and 0.55 +/- 0.13 (cage) (P less than .05), and did not subside after 50 minutes. Cocaine also increased levels of E, NE, and DA above those in saline under all rest conditions. With exercise, the value for C in saline increased to 0.61 +/- 0.18, but, in cocaine, the value went to 0.93 +/- 0.05 (P less than .05). The concentrations of E (946 +/- 74 v 603 +/- 101 pg/mL, cocaine v saline) and NE (1,027 +/- 102 v 440 +/- 153, cocaine v saline) during exercise also were exaggerated by cocaine treatment (P less than .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

IMMUNOREGULATORY EFFECT OF PANAXATRIOL GINSENOSIDE ON IMMUNE FUNCTIONS IN BONE MARROW SUPPRESSED MICE

The effect of Panaxatriol Ginsenoside (PTGS) on Immune functions in bone marrow suppressed mice induced by injection of cyclophosphamide (CY) has been studied. Bone marrow suppressed mice were made by injection of CY (150 mg/kg) parenterally. Subcutaneous injection of PTGS three days earlier partially restored the number and the activity of bone marrow cells, significantly enhanced the production of IL-1, IL- 3 and IL- 6 like substances and promoted the reactivity of murlne spleen cells to Con-A In bone marrow suppressed mice.     

Immunoregulatory effects of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) on the proliferation of human lymphocytes

Extracellular phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a proinflammatory enzyme found especially in the inflammatory exudate to modulate blood flow to areas of antigen stimulation. In this study we found that PLA2 exerted a biphasic effect on the proliferation of phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated human mononuclear cells (PHA MNC). At low concentrations range from 0.001 to 1 U/ml, PLA2 enhanced the proliferation of PHA MNC (maximal increase was 37.0 +/- 5.67%). Conversely, at concentrations over 10 U/ml, PLA2 markedly suppressed the PHA-induced MNC proliferation (maximal decrease was 88.86 +/- 2.89%). PLA2 was non-toxic to lymphocytes after three days culture, unless the concentration was higher than 100 U/ml. The membrane polarization of PHA-stimulated lymphocytes was also increased by PLA2 at a low concentration. In addition, PLA2 displayed a similar effect on the proliferation of streptokinase-streptodornase (SK/SD) or allogeneic cell stimulated lymphocytes. The change of lymphocyte proliferation by PLA2, was parallel to the change of percentage of helper T cells. Furthermore--a CD4-rich population was proved more susceptible to PLA2 effect than a CD8-rich population. Para-bromophenacyl bromide (pBPB), an irreversible inhibitor of PLA2, abrogated the biphasic effect of PLA2 on PHA MNC proliferation. These results suggest that PLA2 plays a regulatory role on immune reactions by modulating the percentage of helper T cells.
