医用硫酸钙在家兔腰椎融合模型中的成骨能力

[目的]通过与自体髂骨进行比较,评价医用硫酸钙单独应用的成骨能力,并探讨其可能的成骨机理。[方法]建立家兔腰椎后外侧融合模型,以自身作为对照,双侧横突间植骨,左侧植入硫酸钙颗粒,右侧植入自体髂骨。于术后3、6、12周行X线、CT及组织学检查。[结果]术后3周,硫酸钙尚可见残留颗粒,自体骨完全降解;植骨区域内均可见到大量的破骨细胞,并有血管纤维组织长入。术后6周,硫酸钙完全降解,影像学检查两者之间没有明显的差异,表现为局部骨密度增高,新骨成形;组织学检查两侧植骨区内均为大量的透明软骨形成,自体髂骨植骨区内可见散在的骨小梁结构。术后12周,组织学及影像学上二者没有任何的差别,两侧形成的骨组织与家兔的椎体骨组织结构相同。[结论]医用硫酸钙作为骨移植替代材料,除了具有良好的骨传导性外,硫酸钙可能还具有骨诱导性,其成骨能力与自体髂骨相当,医用硫酸钙单独应用可以取得良好的融合效果。     

退变性症状性腰椎侧凸的手术治疗

[目的]探讨后路椎管减压、椎弓根螺钉间断固定、椎间植骨融合、矢状位重建术式治疗退变性症状性腰椎侧凸的临床效果。[方法]1999年1月-2006年4月，采用经后路椎管减压、椎弓根螺钉间断固定、椎间植骨融合、矢状位重建术式治疗退变性症状性腰椎侧凸37例，男21例，女16例；年龄51—82岁，平均62．6岁。所有病例拍摄腰椎正侧位片及Bending片，常规备CT和MRI。根据患者下肢症状行全椎板或半椎板减压，神经根扩大，椎间植骨融合及椎弓根螺钉间断固定。[结果]本组病例均获随访（1—6年，平均2年零7个月），术后临床症状均明显缓解，按JOA评分，手术疗效优良率91．9％，侧凸平均矫正率54．8％。随访期间无明显矫正度数及椎间隙高度丢失，术后3个月、1年复查X片内置物无松动及断裂，植骨融合时间平均11．6周。[结论]对于退变性症状性腰椎侧凸患者：（1）采取个体化治疗，年龄不是绝对手术禁忌证，病程长短不是决定手术疗效的重要指标；（2）后路椎管减压、椎弓根螺钉间断固定、椎间植骨融合、矢状位重建术是安全有效的理想术式。     

On the Use of Paramagnetic Beads and Ferrofluids to Assess and Eliminate the Leukocytic Contribution to Oxygen Radical Generation by Human Sperm Suspensions

PROBLEM: To develop a methodology to determine a) the leukocytic contribution to reactive oxygen species generation by human sperm suspensions and b) the therapeutic value of removing these cellular contaminants. METHODS: Leukocytes were removed with paramagnetic beads or colloidal ferrofluids coated with anti-CD45 antibody. The sperm suspensions were monitored for oxidant generation by chemiluminescence, leukocyte contamination by immunocytochemistry, and fertilizing potential using zona-free hamster oocytes. RESULTS: Percoll®-prepared human sperm suspensions exhibited a competence for PMA-induced reactive oxygen species generation which was significantly correlated with leukocyte contamination. However, the purified spermatozoa remaining after paramagnetic bead treatment, also demonstrated an intrinsic capacity for PMA-responsive reactive oxygen species generation and, freed from the oxidative stress created by the leukocytes, exhibited a significantly enhanced capacity for sperm-oocyte fusion. CONCLUSIONS: Although human spermatozoa can generate reactive oxygen species, sperm function is inhibited by the additional oxidative stress created by contaminating leukocytes. Removal of these cells with paramagnetic beads enhances fertilizing potential.     

核医学影像设备的发展与临床应用

γ相机和SPECT只能进行常规单光子显像，PET和双探头SPECT符合显像系统既能进行单光子显像，又能进行正电子符合显像，PET／CT系统的出现不仅提供高质量的衰减校正图像，保证了正电子显像校正数据的可靠性，而且能进行同机图像融合，提高了影像定位诊断的准确性。本文简要介绍了核医学影像设备发展历程，PET和PET／CT的原理以及在临床的应用。     

Three antidepressants (amitriptyline,dothiepin, fluoxetine), with and without alcohol,compared with placebo on tests of psychomotor ability related to car driving

Eight female volunteers received acute doses of amitriptyline 50 mg (AMI), dothiepin 50 mg (DOT), fluoxetine 40 mg (FLU) or placebo both with and without a ‘social’ dose of alcohol (ALC) equivalent to 0·5 g/kg body weight absolute alcohol. Performance on a variety of tests of psychomotor ability and cognitive function (critical flicker fusion, choice reaction time, tracking, Maddox Wing and simulated car steering) were performed at 1·5 and 4 hours following treatment. AMI and DOT both with and without ALC impaired performance on a range of tests at either or both 1·5 and 4 hours, although the effects of AMI and AMI + ALC were more widespread and severe than those found with either DOT or DOT + ALC. FLU and FLU + ALC showed no evidence of impairment on any test at either the 1·5 or the 4 hours assessments. The results suggest that there are differences between the experimental substances, at the doses used, in their intrinsic potential for impairing aspects of psychomotor performance and cognitive function.

Myoblast fusion in Drosophila melanogaster is mediated through a fusion-restricted myogenic-adhesive structure (FuRMAS).

During myogenesis in Drosophila embryos, a prominent adhesive structure is formed between precursor cells and fusion-competent myoblasts (fcms). Here, we show that Duf/Kirre and its interaction partners Rols7 (found in founder myoblasts and growing myotubes) and Sns (found in fcms) are organized in a ring-structure at the contact points of fcms with precursor cells, while cytoskeletal components like F-actin and Titin are centered in this ring in both cell types. The cytoplasmic protein Blow colocalizes with the actin plugs in fcms after cell adhesion. Furthermore, the requirement of additional as yet unidentified components was demonstrated by using mammalian C2C12 myoblasts. In this study, we propose that the fusion-restricted myogenic-adhesive structure (FuRMAS) is pivotal in linking cell adhesion as well as local F-actin assembly and dynamics to downstream events that ultimately lead to plasma membrane fusion. Moreover, we suggest that the FuRMAS may restrict the area of membrane breakdown.     

Radiologic long-term results after cervical vertebral interbody fusion with Polymethyl Methacrylat (PMMA)

Long-term results of cervical interbody fusion with PMMA were evaluated in a retrospective study. X-ray films of 83 patients were obtainable. Post-operative follow-up in this series was between 15 and 20 years. The results show that PMMA is engrafted after about 2 years. Stable vertebral interbody fusion is obtained in about 90% of cases. Development of malignoma was not observed. Resorptive bone alterations, which can be seen in about 2% of cases one to two years after operation are shown not to be progressive. This process heals and stable fusion develops.
