机械压力对人脐静脉内皮细胞ET-1、NO合成的影响和意义

目的探讨压力增高对血管内皮细胞分泌血管活性物质功能的影响及其在门静脉高压症发病机制中的作用。方法用RT-PCR方法半定量研究人脐静脉内皮细胞ET-1、eNOS、i-NOS mRNA的表达;用硝酸还原酶法检测各组细胞培养液中NO代谢产物NO2-/NO3-的含量,免疫荧光标记激光扫描共聚焦显微镜检测培养细胞的ET-1蛋白表达。结果ET-1和eNOS mR-NA在正常培养的内皮细胞中即有表达,iNOS mRNA则几乎无表达。生理水平压力刺激下各组各待测基因mRNA表达与对照组无显著性差异。超生理范围压力刺激后,ET-1 mRNA有显著性升高。eNOS mRNA在40 mm Hg 24 h后才有显著性差异。iNOS mRNA在不同条件下均无显著变化。在细胞培养液中分别加入细胞外钙螯合剂EGTA、PKC抑制剂后,则见ET-1、eNOS mRNA表达下降。结论压力增高可刺激血管内皮细胞合成ET-1、NO,其作用在转录水平,其作用机制分别与PKC信号通路和细胞外钙浓度有关。门静脉压力增高与血管内皮细胞合成ET-1、NO增多之间存在相互作用。     

"催眠态"与"气功态"脑运动皮质低频活动差异的初步研究

目的:研究催眠态和气功态下脑运动皮质的低频同步活动,探讨催眠态与气功态对脑功能皮质活动的不同效应。材料和方法:研究对象为1例28岁的健康女性志愿者,右利手。采用气功入静和催眠诱导分别进入气功态和催眠态。研究采用GEsigna VH/i3.0T磁共振扫描机,先后进行无任务(静息态、催眠态和气功态)和运动任务的BOLD序列扫描。图像的处理先以运动任务获得的运动皮质定位作为种子对三种状态的功能图像做交互相关分析,获得脑功能连接的激活图,然后对这些激活的体素采用功率谱分析,获得相应的优势频率和能量。结果:脑功能低频连接激活体素的数量在静息态、催眠态、气功态间没有明显差异,但通过功率谱分析,催眠态主要表现为优势频率能量的升高,而气功态则主要表现为优势频率的增加。结论:气功态和催眠态下脑运动皮质的低频活动存在一定的差异,提示两种状态有通过不同的途径产生效应,但其生理基础有待于进一步研究。

小儿烧伤致伤因素及院前急救统计分析

目的 了解小儿烧伤的致伤因素和院前急救现状。方法 对十年来两家医院收治的小儿烧伤1403例按年龄、原因、场所以及院前急救进行回顾性分析。结果 小儿烧伤以0～3岁居多（占57．09％）；热液烫伤比例大（占70．28％）；家庭为烧伤主要场所（占78．12％）；院前急救失误普通存在，其中创面处理不当、未建立有效静脉通道和人为原因延误治疗比例较大。结论 小儿烧伤有一定规律，院前急救应加以重视。     

PGA指数和透明质酸在诊断慢性乙肝肝纤维化中的价值

目的：寻找一种简便实用的诊断慢性乙型肝炎纤维化的方法。方法：以78例经肝穿刺病理证实的慢性乙型肝炎为对象，测定并比较了由PT、GGT、ApoA1组成的PGA指数和HA、LN、PⅢP、C－IV与肝内纤维化程度(S)和炎症活动度（G）的关系。结果：（1）LN、PⅢP、C－IV在轻度慢性乙肝时无明显升高，在中度慢性乙肝时明显高于正常，但与轻度慢性乙肝无差异，而PGA指数和HA不仅在轻度慢性乙肝时显著升高，而且在轻中度间差异明显.因重度慢性乙肝和活动性肝硬化时，五项指标均显著增高。（2）在G2－4期，HA、LN、PⅢP、C－IV均明显高升，但在G1期，只有PGA指数高于正常，且各期间差异显著。（3）在S1－2期，只有PGA指数、HA、C－IV明显上升，但C－IV的上升幅度远低于PGA指数和HA。（4）加以PGA＞4．5或HA＞200μg／L作为判断临界值，则两者判断肝纤维化的敏感性均＞94％，精确性＞91％，特异性＞86％，如两者结合，则分别达到98．3％、95．2％和96．4％。结论：PGA指数和HA均是反映慢性乙型肝炎患者肝内纤维化程度的良好指标，两者联合检测则可达到最大的价值效益比。     

保留肾单位手术治疗早期小肾癌21例临床分析

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effects of nephron-sparing surgery in patients with early-stage small renal cell carcinoma. METHODS: Nephron-sparing surgery was performed in 21 patients with renal cell carcinoma including 1 with solitary kidney, 3 with unilateral tumor and contralateral renal compromise, and 17 with unilateral tumor and normal contralateral kidney. The diameter of the tumors ranged from 1.5 to 6.0 cm, with a mean of 2.8 cm. The tumor diameter in 17 patients with normal contralateral kidney was less than 4 cm (mean 2.5 cm) and the average diameter in 4 patients with contralateral renal compromise was 4.2 cm. Sixteen cases were in stage T(1), 4 in stage T(2), and 1 in stage T(3). Of the 21 patients, 4 underwent tumor enucleation, 10 polar nephrectomy and 7 wedge resection. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for an average of 40.8 months (7 to 66 months). One patient suffered a right lung and mediastinum metastasis 3 years after the surgery later and 1 with chronic glomerulonephritis required dialysis 27 months after the operation. No surgical complication or local recurrence were found in other patients. CONCLUSION: As a safe and effective therapy for early-stage small renal cell carcinoma, nephron-sparing surgery can be considered as the gold-standard therapy for patients with lesions less than 4 cm in T(1) and T(2) stages of localized unilateral tumor with normal contralateral kidney.     

Rhinitis Symptom Utility Index (RSUI) in Chinese Subjects: A Multiattribute Patient-preference Approach

Background: The Rhinitis Symptom Utility Index (RSUI), originally developed in the United States, consists of a patient-preference weighting scheme and a 10-item questionnaire measuring the severity and frequency of rhinitis related symptoms over a 14-day period. This study aimed to determine whether the Chinese RSUI could adopt the US-based multi-attribute utility function (MAUF) in scoring rhinitis symptoms. Methods: In a Hong Kong study, 116 Chinese adults with allergic rhinitis completed the RSUI questionnaire and 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) after they had been seen by two otorhinolaryngologists for disease-severity ratings. Respondents then completed computer-administered direct preference measures, i.e., visual analogue scale (VAS) and standard gamble (SG) assessments. The VAS and SG data were used to estimate a MAUF for the Chinese-based RSUI. Results: The derived MAUF was somewhat different than the one developed for the US RSUI. Test–retest reliability for the Chinese RSUI was satisfactory (ICC = 0.71, p<0.001). Scores differentiated among cases with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms (p<0.001); and between those who did and did not require medications to control symptoms (p = 0.031). Findings were significantly correlated with SF-36 domain scores (r = 0.19 to 0.37; p=0.041 to <0.001). When the US-based scoring function was applied to the Chinese subjects, the resulting mean RSUI score was significantly lower (p<0.001). Comparisons between directly measured VAS and SG scores between the US and Chinese samples, demonstrated significant differences (all p<0.05), with the US subjects consistently rating rhinitis symptoms as worse than Chinese subjects. Conclusions: The Chinese RSUI has good measurement properties that reflect patient preferences from the Chinese. Results suggest that there are differences in preference rating between US and Chinese subjects and that use of the US-based preference function for the RSUI would bias the measurement of rhinitis symptom outcomes in Chinese subjects.
