THE POINT PREVALENCE OF WOUNDS IN A TEACHING HOSPITAL

Background : Wounds are a common problem, particularly in the elderly population. The scale of wound problems in hospital is largely unknown because wounds are widely dispersed. The present study examined the point prevalence of hospital wounds and undertook a pressure ulcer risk assessment of all patients on one day. Methods : All 360 inpatients were surveyed and thoroughly examined. A risk scale for pressure sore development, the Norton score, was applied. When wounds were found, information was collected to determine their aetiology. Results : Forty leg ulcers, 40 pressure sores, 85 surgical wounds and seven other types of wounds were found. Most leg ulcer and pressure sore cases were admitted for other reasons. The Norton score did not predict all cases of pressure ulceration. A total of 52% of wounds did not qualify for additional funding under current funding criteria. Conclusion : The prevalence of non-surgical wounds in Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital was easily underestimated. Wound care management can be optimized by staff education and protocol design, early identification of troublesome wounds and of at-risk patients, and a cross-sectional approach that incorporates wound-management teams.

2型糖尿病患者外周血白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的变化及意义

目的研究2型糖尿病DM患者外周血白细胞中iNOSmRNA表达的变化及其与糖尿病肾病DN发生、发展的关系。方法101例2型DM患者,根据尿微量白蛋白排泄率和血肌酐水平分为单纯DM组和不同的DN组,用原位杂交法检测外周血白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的阳性细胞的百分率,并与21例健康体检者进行比较。结果早期DN组白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的百分率明显高于对照组、DM组及晚期DN组(P<0.001)。结论外周血白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的变化参与了DN的发生、发展。     

二子合剂对糖尿病大鼠肾脏的保护作用

目的：探讨富含木脂素成分的中药牛蒡子、五味子组成的二子合剂对糖尿病大鼠肾脏的保护作用。方法：将SD大鼠建成链脲佐菌素诱导的糖尿病模型，设正常对照组、模型对照组、苯那普利治疗组、二子合剂大剂量治疗组及小剂量治疗组．4周后检测血糖、24h尿量、尿蛋白总量、尿白蛋白总量、血胆固醇、尿ET-1、TNF-α及肾组织病理变化。结果：与模型对照组相比，苯那普利组及二子合剂大剂量治疗组各项检测指标均有改善，两疗效近似。二子合剂小剂量治疗组仅见尿白蛋白总量及毛细血管襻面密度有减少。结论：牛蒡子、五味子合剂对糖尿病肾脏损害有一定的保护作用，其作用与剂量有相关性。

视网膜特异性表达人血管内皮生长因子 基因载体的构建

目的构建在视网膜组织特异性表达的人血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）₁₆₅基因。方法用聚合酶链反应(PCR)方法从BLAB/C鼠全基因组扩增能在视网膜组织特异性表达的rho启动子，经限制性内切酶纯化后克隆于质粒pcDNA^3.1+-VEGF₁₆₅中，建立重组质粒pcDNA^3.1+-rho-VEGF₁₆₅，通过限制性内切酶酶切分析及PCR鉴定筛选出正确重组质粒pcDNA^3.1+-rho-VEGF₁₆₅,由jetPEI介导转染人视网膜色素上皮细胞和人脐静脉内皮细胞，并通过免疫组织化学染色以及绘制细胞生长曲线检测在人视网膜色素上皮细胞和人脐静脉内皮细胞中VEGF蛋白的表达。结果在人视网膜色素上皮细胞中，重组质粒pcDNA^3.1+-rho-VEGF₁₆₅比质粒pcDNA^3.1+-rho-VEGF₁₆₅的VEGF蛋白表达强，在人脐静脉内皮细胞，两者的表达量无明显差别。结论pcDNA^3.1+-rho-VEGF₁₆₅载体的构建为进一步研究VEGF在视网膜新生血管形成中的致病机理提供基础材料，并为进一步建立视网膜特异性表达VEGF转基因鼠模型建立了基础。(中华眼底病杂志,2005,21:106-109)

Computed tomography in gunshot wounds to the neck: Can we predict vascular injury?

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of helical computed tomography (CT) to detect arterial injuries in gunshot wounds to the neck. In a blinded retrospective review, 54 helical CT scans of the cervical spine were evaluated for bullet/bone fragments, subcutaneous air, bullet path, hematoma, spine fractures, and pharyngoesophageal compromise. The distance of fragments to a major vessel was calculated. CT findings that correlated significantly with major arterial injury included the presence of fragments (bullet/bone) close to a major vessel (2.5 mm) and spine fractures. Visualizing fragments <5 mm from a vessel or a transcervical bullet trajectory predicted 12 of 13 major arterial injuries. We conclude that CT clearly depicts anatomic damage. Specific findings, such as the location of fragments and bullet trajectory adjacent to a vessel and spine fractures, indicate a higher probability of vascular damage, thus directing more definitive evaluation.
