三种基牙材料对铸造玻璃瓷冠碎裂影响的研究

目的:研究不同种类和强度基牙材料与瓷冠破折碎裂的内在关系.方法:选用计算机建立上颌中切牙的三维有限元模型,模拟陶瓷层、牙本质、核桩等结构.分析在天然齿基牙、钴铬合金基牙及复合树脂基牙情况下,铸造玻璃陶瓷全冠的瓷层内及残余牙本质的应力分布情况.结果:高弹性模量的钴铬合金能够降低瓷层及残余牙本质内的最大主应力和最小主应力峰值,防止瓷层破折碎裂;而弹性模量与牙本质相近的复合树脂桩降低应力峰值的作用不明显.结论:对于有牙髓活力的牙本质基牙,尽量保存牙髓活力后行全冠修复.对于行根管治疗术后的无髓牙,进行核桩冠修复时,采用高弹性模量的高熔合金,尽量避免使用弹性模量较小的复合树脂核.     

Superoxide dismutases of muscle in mitochondrial encephalomyopathies

Lmmunohistochemical analyses were made of the superoxide dismutases (Mn-SOD and CuiZn-SOD) in biopsied muscles from 7 patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies that included mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and strokelike episodes (MELAS), and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). Mn-SOD mainly was present in the subsarcolemmal region, but it also was found in a coarsely granular, reticular, or diffuse pattern of staining within the muscle fibers. These Mn-SOD-positive fibers corresponded almost completely to the ragged-red fibers. The immunoreaction for CuiZn-SOD was weakly positive in some of the muscle fibers positive for Mn-SOD. In CPEO, Mn-SOD-positive fibers predominantly showed decreased cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity. In MELAS, Mn-SOD-positive fibers tended to be stained deeply for COX although a few were COX-negative. These findings suggest that Mn-SOD-positive fibers can be used to make a differential diagnosis between CPEO and MELAS and that in mitochondrial encephalomyopathies Mn-SOD in the raggedred fibers may protect against oxidative stress. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

膳食纤维与不同蛋白质联用对大鼠胆固醇代谢的影响

观察４种膳食纤维在两种蛋白来源下，对高脂血症大鼠生长、血脂、肝胆固醇、粪类固醇及胆汁成分的影响。结果表明：①四种膳食纤维均可降低大鼠血清ＴＣ水平，尤以豆胶效果显著。②豆胶显著升高ＨＤＬ－Ｃ／ＬＤＬ－Ｃ。膳食蛋白为大豆蛋白时，豆胶、沙棘皮可显著升高血清ＨＤＬ－Ｃ、ＨＤＬ－Ｃ／ＴＣ。③豆胶显著减少肝胆固醇累积，两种沙棘皮与大豆蛋白联用降脂强于与酪蛋白共用。④蛋白来源显著影响粪类固醇的排出，纤维类型可影响中性固醇排出并与蛋白质有交互作用。提示：蛋白质与膳食纤维之间的交互作用是探讨营养素与脂质代谢不可忽视的因素。     

Non-nociceptive capsaicin-sensitive nerve terminal stimulation allows for an original vasodilatory reflex in the human skin

A significant increase of cutaneous laser Doppler flowmetry was found before blood flow decreases with increasing pressure during a 5 mmHg min⁻¹ increase of pressure strain on the finger. Pre-treatment with a local anaesthetic or chronically applied capsaicin, resulted in the disappearance of the vasodilatory response. These results suggest an original vasodilatory axon reflex response to non-noxious pressure strain which is initiated by capsaicin-sensitive nerve terminals in the human skin.     

Special issue: Group treatment after child and adolescent sexual abuse: Introduction

This introduction traces the increasing awareness of the prevalence of child sexual abuse over the last 20 years, examines the nature and consequences of such abuse and summarizes current information on the use of group treatment and its evaluation with sexually abused children and adolescents and their parents. Four examples of group treatment with different populations of abused children are described in this issue.     

Tyrosine hydroxylase and serotonin containing cells in embryonic rat rhombencephalon: a whole-mount immunocytochemical study

Rhombencephala from rat embryos were processed as whole-mounts for immunocytochemical detection of monoaminergic cell populations, using antibodies to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and serotonin (5-HT). Specific advantages of the whole-mount technique over the classical serial-section method were that even isolated immunoreactive (IR) cells could be detected easily, and three-dimensional relationships could be ascertained without the need for serial reconstruction. Embryos between embryonic days (E) 12 and 16 (the day following nocturnal mating being considered as E1) were used in this study. Both TH and 5-HT immunoreactivities were already detectable at E12, even in the smallest embryos (crown-rump length: 6 mm), but there was a striking difference in the number and regional distribution of these two types of IR cells. TH was expressed in several cell groups located in the rostral rhombencephalon (the presumed anlage of the A4-7 complex) as well as in the caudal rhombencephalon (the presumed anlagen of groups A1-2 and C1-3), whereas 5-HT was expressed in very few cells located near the rostral border of the rhombencephalon (presumed anlage of the B4-9 complex). Although the three-dimensional distribution of the TH-IR cell groups underwent some modifications during the period studied, its general pattern remained relatively stable after E12. This contrasted with the sequential appearance of the 5-HT-IR cell groups and their spatial transformations during this period. Using the rhombencephalic isthmus as a landmark, we found that conspicuous 5-HT-IR fibre bundles penetrated into the mesencephalon from E13 onwards, but that the 5-HT IR cell bodies were exclusively located caudal to the borderline between the mesencephalon and the rhombencephalon (the rhombencephalic isthmus). We therefore suggest the term "rostral rhombencephalic raphe nuclei" for the rostral 5-HT cell groups instead of "mesencephalic raphe nuclei," which is a misnomer. Close spatial association between TH and 5-HT-IR elements was observed mainly in the caudal rhombencephalon, where 5-HT-IR fibres coursed through an area containing numerous TH-IR cell bodies (the presumed anlagen of groups A1-2 and C1-3).     

Maintenance of targeting errors by isthmo-optic axons following the intraocular injection of tetrodotoxin in chick embryos.

We have studied the role of electrical activity in the elimination of axonal targeting errors, which is a normal process in brain development. The experiments were focused on the isthmo-optic nucleus (ION), which, in adults, projects in topographical order on the contralateral retina. During embryogenesis, however, a few isthmo-optic neurons project to the ipsilateral retina, and many project to topographically inappropriate parts of the contralateral one; both kinds of targeting error are known to be eliminated by the deaths of the parent neurons. We injected tetrodotoxin (TTX) intraocularly at embryonic days 13 and 15 and, on the latter, applied a retrograde label to the retina of the same eye. Embryos were fixed at embryonic day 17. In some embryos, the label was a peripherally placed fleck of the carbocyanine dye "diI"; the resulting retrogradely labeled neurons in the contralateral ION were much more widely scattered in the TTX-injected embryos than in controls (errors in topography). In other embryos, the label was a solution of rhodamine-B-isothiocyanate (RITC) injected into the vitreous body; this yielded several ipsilaterally labeled isthmo-optic neurons in the TTX-injected embryos, but virtually none in the controls. The numbers of both kinds of aberrantly projecting neuron approached those previously reported near the beginning of the ION's period of neuronal death. We conclude that electrical activity plays an important role in the elimination of axonal targeting errors in the chick embryo's isthmo-optic system.
