脓毒症大鼠体内内源性salusin-β的分布

目的探讨内源性salusin-β在脓毒症大鼠脾、胃、小肠、下丘脑组织及血清中的分布及含量变化。方法雄性SD大鼠36只,采用单纯随机抽样的方法随机分为假手术组(n=9)和脓毒症模型组(简称"模型组",n=27)。假手术组仅翻动盲肠,模型组以盲肠结扎穿刺术(CLP)制作脓毒症模型,于造模后6 h、12 h及24 h时分别处死9只大鼠,取脾、胃、小肠及下丘脑,并留取血清标本。采用酶联免疫吸附试验测定salusin-β含量。结果 1假手术组大鼠脾、胃、小肠、下丘脑及血清中均含有一定量salusin-β,且脾组织中的含量最高,明显高于其他组织(P<0.05)。2与假手术组比较,模型组CLP后6 h时大鼠脾、小肠、胃及血清中salusin-β水平开始升高且有统计学意义(P<0.05),其中脾组织和血清中在12 h时达最高,小肠组织中在24 h时达最高;胃组织中无明显变化;下丘脑组织中salusin-β水平虽在术后6 h时开始升高,仅在12 h时有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论脓毒症大鼠体内salusin-β含量随时间依赖性改变,提示salusin-β可能与脓毒症有一定的关系。     

Effects of continuous medroxyprogesterone acetate on lipoprotein metabolism in postmenopausal women receiving estrogen

Objective: To investigate the effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on the beneficial effects of estrogen therapy on lipid metabolism in postmenopausal women. Methods: Postmenopausal women were administered either conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) 0.625 mg daily for 3 months (Group 1) or CEE 0.625 mg in conjunction with MPA 2.5 mg (Group 2) or MPA 5.0 mg (Group 3) daily for 3 months. Plasma levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, lipoprotein lipids, apolipoproteins, sex steroid hormones and lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase activity (LCAT) were determined. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (H-TGL) activities were measured in postheparin plasma. Changes in the lipid concentrations and enzymatic activities were evaluated in each group. Results: Total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein B concentrations and LCAT activity were all significantly reduced by treatment in the three groups. The levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), HDL2, and HDL3 cholesterol as well as the levels of apolipoprotein AI and AII were significantly elevated in groups 1 and 2. The mean decrease in these parameters was related to the dose of MPA. Levels of triglyceride in the HDL and HDL2 were significantly increased in group 1. The levels of triglyceride in plasma, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), LDL, HDL3 and VLDL cholesterol and LPL activity were unaffected. H-TGL activity was significantly inhibited only in groups 1 and 2. MPA produced a dose-dependent increase in H-TGL activity. A significant negative correlation was observed between the HDL cholesterol concentration and H-TGL activity (r = 0.58 P < 0.001). Conclusions: The administration of MPA 2.5 mg and 5.0 mg did not adversely affect the changes in VLDL-LDL metabolism produced by estrogen. However, MPA has dose-dependent negative effects on HDL metabolism by increasing H-TGL activity and the 5.0 mg MPA interferes with the favorable effects on lipids of estrogen in postmenopausal women.     

The genetic load for hereditary hearing impairment in Chinese population and its clinical implication

Objective To understand the genetic load in the Chinese population for improvement in diagnosis, prevention and rehabilitation of deafness. Methods DNA samples, immortalized cell lines as well as detailed clinical and audiometric data were collected through a national genetic resources collecting network. Two conventional genetic approaches were used in the studies. Linkage analysis in X chromosome and autosomes with microsatellite markers were performed in large families for gene mapping and positional cloning of novel genes. Candidate gene approach was used for screening the mtDNA 12SrRNA, GJB2 and SLC26A4 mutations in population-based samples. Results A total of 2,572 Chinese hearing loss families or sporadic cases were characterized in the reported studies, including seven X-linked, one Y-linked, 28 large and multiplex autosomal dominant heating loss families, 607 simplex autosomal recessive hereditary hearing loss families, 100 mitochondrial inheritance families, 147 GJB2 induced heating loss cases, 230 cases with enlarged vestibular aqueduct(EVA) syndrome, 169 sporadic cases with auditory neuropathy, and 1,283 sporadic sensorineural hearing loss cases. Through linkage analysis or sequence analysis, two X-linked families were found transmitting two novel mutations in the POU3F4 gene, while another X-linked family was mapped onto a novel locus, nominated as A UNX1 (auditory neuropathy, X-linked locus 1). The only Y-linked family was mapped onto the DFNY1 locus(Y-linked locus 1, DFNY1). Eight of the 28 autosomal dominant families were linked to various autosomal loci. In population genetics studies, 2,567 familial cases and sporadic patients were subjected to mutation screening for three common hearing loss genes: mtDNA 12S rRNA 1555G, GJB2 and SLC26A4. The auditory neuropathy cases in our samples were screened for OTOF gene mutations. Conclusions These data show that the Chinese population has a genetic load on hereditary heating loss. Establishing personalized surveillance and prevention models for hearing loss based on genetic research will provide the opportunity to decrease the prevalence of deafness in the Chinese population.     

Two Anatomical Pathways for Retroperitoneoscopic Pancreatectomy: Indications for the Posterior and Lateral Approaches

Background

Retroperitoneoscopic pancreatectomy (RP) is a novel surgical procedure that is safe and feasible in animal models and clinical practice. However, the optimal approach for RP has not been established.

Objective

This study aimed to introduce the posterior and lateral approaches for RP.

Methods

This prospective study included 19 patients with suspected pancreatic lesions who underwent RP. RP was performed using either a posterior or a lateral approach.

Results

The posterior, lateral, and jointed approaches were used in 13 (68.4 %), 3 (15.8 %), and 3 (15.8 %) cases, respectively. Patients underwent enucleation (N = 8), distal pancreatectomy (N = 4), and resection of cystic pancreatic lesions (N = 2) and non-pancreatic lesions (N = 5). All retroperitoneoscopic procedures were successfully accomplished with no conversion to open or laparoscopic surgery. Intraoperative complications occurred in two (12.5 %) cases, including one case with injury to the peritoneum and one case with injury to the peritoneum and splenic vein. Postoperative grade A pancreatic fistulas occurred in six cases, and were cured by delayed drainage. No disease recurrence or abnormal symptoms were observed during the mean follow-up period of 14.06 ± 9.60 months.

Conclusions

RP using the posterior or lateral approach is feasible and effective, but has different indications. The posterior approach is useful for distal pancreatectomy, as well as resection of pancreatic lesions in the posterior or superoposterior region of the distal pancreas. The lateral approach is useful for resection of pancreatic lesions in the anterior or inferior region of the body and tail. The two approaches can be used in combination or conversion.     

Isolated Dislocation of the Posterior Tibial Tendon in an Amateur Snowboarder: A Case Report

Isolated dislocation of the posterior tibial tendon is an uncommon pathologic entity that typically occurs in the setting of acute trauma. The diagnosis remains challenging and is often delayed second to the rarity of the injury and symptoms similar to that of medial ankle sprains and other routinely diagnosed injuries about the ankle. The factors that predispose this tendon to dislocation include a hypoplastic retromalleolar groove, flexor retinaculum insufficiency, chronic repetitive trauma, and a structural abnormality from a previous medial malleolar fracture, or a combination thereof. Dislocation has also been cited as a complication of multiple local steroid injections and tarsal tunnel release. The mechanism of injury appears to involve forced dorsiflexion and eversion of the ankle when the posterior tibial tendon is contracted. Most cases do not respond well to conservative treatment and will require surgery to restore function and eliminate symptoms. We report a case of posterior tibial tendon dislocation related to a snowboarding injury and offer our technique for surgical correction.     

溶栓治疗急性缺血性卒中的研究进展

急性缺血性卒中是目前导致人类死亡的三大主要疾病之一,具有高发病率、高致残率、高病死率的特点。目前急性期的治疗方法主要有建立卒中单元、抗血小板聚集、抗凝、降纤等,但疗效并不理想。而早期动脉溶栓治疗时是目前被认可的有效的治疗措施,但因存在治疗间窗过窄和诸多并发症的问题,只有少部分的卒中患者接受了溶栓治疗。所以选择最佳的溶栓时机、溶栓剂和减少并发症的发生是溶栓治疗的关键。     

Characterization of immunological responses in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome: A cohort study in China

BackgroundThe immunological responses of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) remain largely unknown. We aim to study the magnitude and sustainability of host immune responses and their correlation with clinical, virological and hematological parameters.MethodsA longitudinal cohort study was performed in a SFTS reference hospital. The sequential immunological evaluation was determined for SFTSV infected patients, including anti-SFTSV IgM, IgG antibodies and the lymphocyte subsets.ResultsAltogether 298 laboratory-confirmed SFTS cases were analyzed, from whom 55 patients were followed after convalescence. SFTSV specific IgM antibody could be detected at medium of 9 days, surged to peak levels by 4 weeks, and remained persistent until 6 months after disease onset. SFTSV specific IgG antibody could be detected at medium of 6 weeks; surged to peak levels by 6 months, and remained positive in most of the patients even at 3 years after infection. SFTS patients experienced obvious T cell, B cell and NK cells loss during the first week of infection, which was rapidly restored to normal levels. A significantly lower level of humoral immunity was identified concurrently from severe disease, especially in acute phase of the infection. These abnormalities can be used as a potential indicator in the prediction of an adverse clinical outcome.ConclusionsInformation gained from this study have clinical significance in enhancing our understanding of SFTS immunological characteristics and the disease pathogenesis.
