The electrophysiological properties of substantia nigra pars compacta neurones recorded from 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned guinea-pigs in vitro

Summary Intracellular recordings were made from substantia nigra pars compacta neurones in vitro from animals with partial unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the nigrostriatal tract. Lesions were assessed and grouped according to the severity of the strital dopamine depletion. No differences were seen between neurones from control and lesioned side nigrae as regards their membrane properties, firing rates, burst activity or percentage of quiescent neurones in any of the lesioned categories. It is concluded that following partial lesioning, the remaining substantia nigra zona compacta neurones in vitro, are functioning normally.

神经精神性狼疮临床资料分析

目的探讨神经精神性狼疮的临床特点。方法以神经精神性狼疮或狼疮脑病为检索词,检索2000年~2006年国内公开发表的中文文献,选取其中有关临床分析及诊断的文献进行临床分析。结果神经精神性狼疮发生率占系统性红斑狼疮患者的15.1%,男女性别比约为1∶12,平均年龄31岁。神经精神症状以头痛(40.4%),癫痫发作(32.9%),意识障碍(21.8%),精神行为异常(12.8%)最多见;其他临床症状有发热(62.2%),关节疼痛(46.0%),面部红斑或皮肤损害(34.7%),肾损害(20.7%);脑电图约61%异常,颅脑CT有45.8%局灶或弥漫异常,MRI有66.7%弥漫性异常;抗核抗体阳性率49.2%,抗双链DNA阳性率33.4%。结论神经精神性狼疮以青年女性多见,常累及全身多系统和器官,诊断主要依据临床表现,影像学、血清抗体检查有一定参考价值,但特异性不高。     

电子对生物分子DNA损伤可能性的分析

目的研究电子在人体组织等效材料中形成的“簇点”能量分布情况，以及簇点的产生对生物效应发生的意义。方法针对电子与人体组织等效介质作用的物理机理，利用蒙特卡罗(MC)方法，按一个个相互作用事件(电离、激发、弹性散射、Auger电子发射)方式真实模拟电子在介质中的径迹，通过对这些事件进行统计分析，得到相关结论。结果电子在穿过介质过程中，主要以簇点(大于30％)形式沉积能量，并且80％以上的簇点中的能量沉积在50eV以上；簇点的密集程度与电子能量、簇点直径密切相关，簇点中能量沉积也取决于辐射类型和能量。结论簇点中的能量沉积是诱发组织细胞核内DNA分子各种损伤的最主要因素。     

Stenting of coronary bifurcation lesions by using modified crush technique with double kissing balloon inflation (sleeve technique): immediate procedure result and short-term clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Sleeve technique is a modified version of crush technique. It is specifically designed to increase the success rate of final kissing balloon inflation, which used to be a major limitation of the latter. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility, safety, and early clinical outcomes of sleeve technique in stenting different types (de novo, in-stent restenotic or in-stent bifurcation) of coronary bifurcation lesions at different locations. METHODS: From August 2005 to May 2006, 41 consecutive patients with symptomatic, nonleft-main coronary bifurcation stenoses of diameter narrowing >or=50% were treated with two-stent strategy, using sleeve technique. RESULTS: The mean age was 63.6 +/- 11.6 years with male predominance (70.7%). High prevalence of diabetes mellitus (31.7%), total occlusion (22.0%), and multi-vessel disease (65.9%) was observed in this cohort. Intravenous abciximab was given in 35 (85.4%) patients. Final kissing balloon inflation was successfully performed in all patients. The minimal luminal diameter in main vessel and side branch was increased from 0.97 +/- 0.53 mm and 0.81 +/- 0.45 mm to 2.76 +/- 0.34 mm and 2.22 +/- 0.35 mm, respectively. The mean procedure time was only 66.6 +/- 24.6 min. There was one (2.4%) case of subacute stent thrombosis presented as non-Q-wave myocardial infarction at day 3 postprocedure. The resultant in-hospital and 30-day major adverse cardiac event rate were both 2.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Sleeve technique is a feasible and efficient approach in stenting of coronary bifurcation stenoses.     

Novel ROC-type method for testing the efficiency of multivariate statistical methods in fMRI.

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) method is a useful and popular tool for testing the efficiency of various diagnostic tests applicable to functional MRI (fMRI) data. Typically, the diagnostic tests are applied on simulated and pseudo-human fMRI data, and the area under the ROC curve is used as a measure of the efficiency of the diagnostic test. The effectiveness of such a method depends on how well the simulated data approximate the real data. For multivariate statistical methods, however, this technique is usually inadequate, as the spatial dependence among voxels is ignored for simulated data. In this work a modified ROC method using real fMRI data with a broader scope is proposed. This method can be applied to most fMRI postprocessing techniques, including multivariate analyses such as canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Also, the relationship of the modified ROC method with the conventional ROC method is discussed in detail.

Possible injury to the branches of the peroneal nerve during fibular osteotomies

Conclusions The peroneal nerves and their blood supply are at risk during high tibial osteotomies. Fixation of nerves by fibrous tissues, compression by tendinous arcades of the peroneus longus tendon, and narrow passages for nerves crossing dense fibrous septa are all factors which favor the development of peroneal nerve lesions. Intraoperative soft tissue retraction and pull by retractors may damage nerves and vessels. The muscle branch for the extensor hallucis longus muscle is particularly at risk during the fibular osteotomy since it runs directly on the bone.
