发色三肽底物测定血浆蛋白C活性及临床应用

建立了血浆蛋白Ｃ活性水平测定的发色三肽底物法，并对临床５６例病例进行了检测。以正常人血浆蛋白Ｃ活性平均值为１００％作对照，３０例肝硬化病人血浆蛋白Ｃ活性平均为（６１．４±２７．３）％；７例慢性肾功能不全病人血浆蛋白Ｃ活性平均为（５１．２±２５．７）％，１８例正常晚期妊娠妇女血浆蛋白Ｃ活性平均为（１３８．０±２３．５）％。与正常对照组比较，结果差异均有显著性。在的１例血栓性血小板减少性紫癜（ＴＴＰ）     

大鼠实验性肝硬化时甲状腺激素水平及甲状腺形态学变化的研究

将Wistar大鼠分为三组：肝硬化组，给予四氯化碳等复合因素，给药组，除给CCl4等复合因素外，用赤栀黄合剂灌胃41天；正常组给以一般饮食及饮水。结果，与正常组及给药组相比，硬化组血T3、T4测定值低，甲状腺滤泡中胶质明显减少，滤泡细胞与胶质间空泡增多，滤泡上皮细胞内PAS阳性小滴数日增多。表明在实验性肝硬化期间甲状腺参与了抗疾病的代谢活动，其机理可能是肝硬化时肝细胞合成、转运T3，T4的蛋白质减少。运输中的T3，T4减少，活性甲状腺素不足，从而导致甲状腺代偿性功能活跃。赤栀黄合剂具有保肝，恢复甲状腺素水平的作用。     

Parental alcoholism and early child development

In a cohort of 532 pregnant women from the general population, it was found by compilation of the results from interviews, police records, hospital records and social welfare records that 23 mothers and 51 fathers in 64 families (12%) were suffering from alcoholism/heavy drinking. In these 64 families, the mother was an addict in only 13 families, both parents were addicts in 10 families, and in the remaining 41 families only the father was an addict. Pregnancy, delivery, the newborn child and the child's development until their fourth year of life have been described using a multidisciplinary approach and a longitudinal prospective design. An hypothesis on mental and physical development, and the occurrence of psychopathological symptoms in the children was tested. None of the children of the 13 alcoholic mothers was born with foetal alcohol syndrome, but foetal hazard was indicated by lower birth weight and a higher rate of perinatal deaths. Children of alcoholic parents had retarded mental development and showed more behavioural problems until 4 years of age than controls, but the differences related to physical development during the first year of life had then disappeared. Boys were found to be more vulnerable than girls. The consequences of behaviour seemed to be more pronounced when both parents were alcoholics. No obvious deviation was found when only the father was addicted. Regarding mental development, it appears that factors related to parental alcoholism, including genetic and social factors, and the sex of the child, are of greater importance than the neonatal score on reduced optimality.     

Laparoscopic Findings in Senescent Patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Abstract: Fifty -two patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), 10 of whom were 65 years or older at the time of diagnosis, were investigated by laparo-scopy. Laparoscopic findings in these 10 patients were evaluated and compared with those in younger patients. The 10 cases were composed of nine females and one male, and two had been diagnosed as having symptomatic PBC with skin itching, while the remaining eight had asymptomatic PBC. Two, seven and one case were in Scheuer's stage I, II and III, respectively, and eight had chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis (CNSDC) on liver biopsy specimens. The majority of senescent PBC patients had typical findings of the early stage of PBC on the liver surface; mild undulations in nine and reddish patches in eight. The laparoscopic findings in senescent PBC were relatively mild.     

One-shot percutaneous ethanol injection of liver tumors under general anesthesia: Preliminary data on efficacy and complications

Purpose: To verify the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided injection of large amounts of ethanol into large or multiple liver lesions, in a single session under general anesthesia (one-shot PEI) for percutaneous ablation of hepatic tumors. Methods: Twenty-nine patients (27 with 51 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) nodules on cirrhosis, diameter range 1.0<+>–<+>9.0 cm; two patients with a single metastasis from the gastroenteric tract, 5.0 and 9.0 cm, respectively, in diameter) were treated with one-shot PEI. Results: The total volume of alcohol delivered per patient ranged from 16 to 210 ml. Mean ethanol volume in all patients was 49 ml. Dynamic computed tomography (CT) examination showed complete necrosis in 41 of 50 lesions. Two patients died of hypovolemic shock due to massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 3 and 7 days, respectively, after the interventional procedure. All the remaining patients are alive (follow-up 5<+>–<+>14 months) except one who died of liver failure 5 months after. New HCC nodules occurred in six patients within 6 months and one intralesional relapse was recorded. Conclusion: In this preliminary experience, one-shot PEI is as effective in inducing liver tumor necrosis as traditional PEI; its advantages are shorter treatment time and the capability of treating larger and multiple liver lesions.

Peripheral blood CD3 and CD4 T-lymphocyte reduction correlates with severity of liver cirrhosis

Summary Immunological disturbances with impairment of immune function and a higher incidence of lymphoproliferative disorders and other malignancies have been described in liver cirrhosis patients. To investigate the pathogenetic mechanism(s) involved in such associated we looked for a possible imbalance in peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with liver cirrhosis of differing severity. Immunophenotyping and counts of peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subpopulations were carried out using monoclonal antibodies conjugated with different fluorochromes in 31 consecutive cirrhotic patients and 23 matched healthy volunteers. Univariate and multivariate analyses of lymphocyte phenotype counts were performed and odds ratios were computed. Statistically significant associations, according to both univariate and multivariate analyses, were found between case/control status and mean CD3 and CD4 T-lymphocyte counts (P<0.0001). A strong correlation was found between the Pugh’s index and CD3 and CD4 lymphocyte counts, with a clear reduction of these phenotypes with increasing liver cirrhosis. Median CD3 and CD4 values were 2,283 and 1,329/μl respectively among controls and 896, 801, and 492/μl and 515, 514, and 307/μl, respectively in categories A, B, and C of Pugh’s classification. Very high odds ratios were found using the median values of CD3 and CD4 as a threshold. There was a statistically significant decrease for each of the T-cell phenotypes studied (CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD56, CD57) between patients and controls (P<0.0001). The progressive and severity-related decrease in mean peripheral blood CD3 and CD4 counts in liver cirrhosis suggests a progressive impairment of protective immune function and may be a factor facilitating malignancy in cirrhotic patients.
