血半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂C水平对急性脑血管病患者早期肾损害的诊断价值

目的探讨急性脑血管病患者早期肾损害的机制及早期监测指标。方法对194例急性脑血管病患者(包括脑梗死129例,脑出血65例)及60例正常对照者同时测定血半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂C(Cys-C)和血肌酐(SCr)浓度,对其中血Cys-c浓度增高但SCr浓度正常的48例急性脑血管病肾早期损害患者用甘露醇治疗,并检测治疗前后血Cys-c浓度。结果在早期肾损害组,血Cys-c浓度明显高于对照组(P<0.001),而SCr浓度2组无显著性差异(P>0.05)。48例急性脑血管病肾早期损害者经甘露醇治疗后,血Cys-c浓度较治疗前明显降低(P<0.001)。结论血清Cys-c测定有助于早期发现肾功能损害,治疗脑血管病的同时应注意监测肾功能。     

可溶性细胞间黏附分子-1在急性肝内胆汁淤积兔模型中的表达

目的探讨可溶性细胞间黏附分子(sICAM-1)在急性肝内胆汁淤积兔模型中的表达及其意义。方法39只健康的新生大耳白兔随机分成4组:3个实验组(n=9)和1个空白对照组(n=12)。每个实验组分别为3个时间点处理组(24、48、72 h)。实验组采用1次灌服α-荼异硫氰酸盐(ANIT)200 mg/kg方法造成急性肝内胆汁淤积。按时分批取标本,检测其血清和胆汁中sICAM-1水平。结果实验组血清、胆汁中sICAM-1各时间点水平明显高于正常对照组(P均<0.05),其中48 h>72 h>24 h。结论sICAM-1在胆汁淤积中表达升高,与肝脏损伤程度和病程相关。     

Acute renal failure as a result of bilateral ureteral obstruction by Candida albicans fungus balls

A 73-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus was admitted to our hospital for acute renal failure. An ultrasonogram revealed bilateral hydronephrosis, which worsened despite insertion of a bladder catheter. Nephrostomy catheters were positioned bilaterally, and Candida albicans was found in the urine culture. The patient was successfully treated with intermittent direct irrigation and i.v. antifungal agent therapy. Since 1977, approximately 50 cases of fungus balls or fungal bezoars in the urinary tract have been reported, but the majority of these cases have been characterized by unilateral ureteral or bladder involvement. Herein, we report a case of acute renal failure as a result of bilateral ureteral obstruction by Candida albicans fungus balls.     

Molecular basis of severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy

Severe myoclonic epilepsy (SMEI) or Dravet syndrome is caused by mutations of the SCN1A gene that encodes voltage-gated sodium channel alpha-1 subunit. Recently, we generated and characterized a knock-in (KI) mice with an SCN1A nonsense mutation that appeared in three independent SMEI patients. The SCN1A-KI mice well reproduced the SMEI disease phenotypes. Both homozygous and heterozygous knock-in mice developed epileptic seizures within the first postnatal month. In heterozygous knock-in mice, trains of evoked action potentials in inhibitory neurons exhibited pronounced spike amplitude decrement late in the burst but not in pyramidal neurons. We further showed that in wild-type mice the Nav1.1 protein is expressed dominantly in axons and moderately in somata of parbalbumin (PV) – positive inhibitory interneurons. Our immunohistochemical observations of the Nav1.1 are clearly distinct to the previous studies, and our findings has corrected the view of the Nav1.1 protein distribution. The data indicate that Nav1.1 plays critical roles in the spike output from PV interneurons and further, that the specifically altered function of these inhibitory circuits may contribute to epileptic seizures in the mice. These information should contribute to the understanding of molecular pathomechanism of SMEI and to develop its effective therapies.     

重症胆管炎23例临床治疗分析

目的：探讨急性重症胆管炎患者的手术时机和死亡原因。方法：回顾性分析23例急性重症胆管炎患者的治疗及预后情况。结果：死亡2例（手术死亡及传统治疗死亡各1例）。早期大剂量短期应用糖皮质激素患者休克得到纠正率85％，明显高于未用糖皮质激素患者休克纠正率50％。结论：急性重症胆管炎患者应在出现休克和（或）精神症状之前手术，对已出现休克的患者，应先给予充分的保守治疗，待病情稳定后再手术。贻误手术时机，严重合并症如多器官功能衰竭及高龄是死亡的主要原因。     

急诊右半肝活体肝移植治疗急性肝衰竭

目的 探讨急诊右半肝活体肝移植（living donor liver transplantation，LDLT）治疗急性肝衰竭（acute liver failure，ALF）的价值。方法 同顾性分析我院自2006年11月至2007年2月6例接受急诊LDLT的ALF患者临床资料，评价转归和疗效。结果 全部供体术后均未发生严重并发症或死亡，3周后恢复日常生活。全部受体均接受不含肝中静脉的右半肝，手术顺利，术后48h内苏醒，未发生神经系统并发症。与术前水平相比，血氨术后第1天明显下降至（53.3±21.6）μmol/L （P〈0.05）；总胆红素（TB）术后第1天即可恢复至（212±130）μmol/L（P〈0.05），以后呈继续下降趋势；凝血酶原时间（PT）术后1周内即可降至正常水平（13±1）s（P〈0.05）；国际标准化比值（INR）变化与PT类似；丙氨酸转氨酶（ALT）和天冬氨酸转氨酶（AST）术后1周内持续下降，至术后第7天降至较低水平。1例患者术后第10天发生急性排斥反应经激素冲击疗法治愈，其余5例均未发生严重并发症。全组受体均于术后1月内康复出院。结论 急诊右半肝LDLT能有效治疗ALF。
