Effect of a single dose of the selectin inhibitor TBC1269 on early and late asthmatic responses

BACKGROUND : Selectins participate in the initial phase of leucocyte migration from circulation to inflamed tissues and may play a role in inflammatory cellular influx into airways in asthma. In the sheep asthma model, TBC1269, a pan-selectin antagonist, reduced late allergen response by 74%. OBJECTIVE : To determine whether a single dose of TBC1269 inhibits early (EAR) and late (LAR) asthmatic responses, and whether it inhibits sputum leucocyte influx after inhalation allergen challenge in atopic asthmatic subjects treated with bronchodilators only. METHODS : Twenty-one asthmatic subjects (mean+/-SD, age=32.5+/-6.7 years, 8 males, FEV1 percent predicted=84+/-15%) with known late asthmatic response based on a screening inhalation allergen challenge were randomly assigned to receive intravenous treatment with either placebo (n=11) or TBC1269 (n=10, 30 mg/kg) infused over 15 min immediately prior to a second (post-treatment) allergen challenge at least 4 weeks after the screening challenge. After each challenge, EAR and LAR were monitored for 7 h. In addition, sputum was induced 1 day before and 1 day after each allergen challenge. RESULTS : TBC1269 did not attenuate the EAR compared with placebo (largest fall in FEV1 within 1 h of 34.1+/-13.9% vs. 31.8+/-12.2% for TBC1269 and placebo groups respectively, P=0.61) or the LAR (largest fall in FEV1 between 3 and 7 h of 39.3+/-15.3% vs. 32.6+/-13.8%, P=0.24). TBC1269 had only minor effects on allergen-induced sputum eosinophilia. CONCLUSION : We conclude that TBC1269 administered before allergen challenge as a single intravenous dose does not attenuate early or late asthmatic responses to allergen in asthmatic subjects.     

雌激素对内膜癌细胞中FAK基因转录的影响

目的定量观察雌激素刺激后内膜癌细胞的焦点粘连激酶（Focal—adhesion kinase，FAK）转录水平。方法不同浓度的17β-雌二醇体外刺激雌激素敏感的内膜癌细胞株RL95—2。加用三苯氧胺或ICI 182，780雌激素拮抗剂的细胞及未加雌激素的细胞设为阴性对照。经不同作用时间后，采用实时RT—PCR方法测定处理后的细胞内FAK的mRNA水平。结果在给予不同浓度的雌激素共培养1d或5d后，细胞的FAK基因的转录水平对比阴性对照细胞无明显改变。结论雌激素对内膜癌细胞的FAK转录可能无显著影响。FAK基因在内膜癌组织中的过度表达的机理需要进一步深入研究。     

老年腹主动脉瘤患者腔内隔绝围手术期脑保护

目的探讨老年腹主动脉瘤患者腔内隔绝围手术期脑保护及其临床意义。方法根据有无实施脑保护将69例老年腹主动脉瘤行腔内隔绝治疗的患者随机分成两组:保护组38例,对照组31例。对两组术后脑血管意外及脑功能障碍情况进行对比分析。结果两组的年龄、入院时血压、手术时间差异均无统计学意义。两组均未发生死亡和出血性脑卒中。保护组术后谵妄发生率低于对照组(分别为5.3%和41.9%,P<0.05),术后住院时间少于对照组(分别为9.1±3.2d和16.7±5.8d,P<0.05);术后缺血性脑卒中保护组0例,对照组3例,两组比较无统计学意义(0%和9.7%,P>0.05)。结论对老年腹主动脉瘤接受腔内隔绝治疗的患者围手术期采取脑保护能降低脑血管意外和维持大脑功能,有利于患者术后恢复。     

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiodrainage as Rescue Therapy for Symptomatic Biliary Leakage Without Biliary Tract Dilation After Major Surgery

Symptomatic biliary leakage following major upper abdominal surgery is a severe complication resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Treatment options usually include either endoscopic intervention or surgical revision. These options may be burdened by a high perioperative risk for the patient (e.g., patients with severe disease) or simply may not be possible (e.g., nonpreserved gastroduodenal passage). In the past, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage did only seem to be a viable option for patients with dilated bile ducts. Here, we present our experience in a consecutive series of patients with symptomatic biliary leakage following major upper abdominal surgery and without dilation of the biliary system that underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage was feasible in 15 of 18 patients (83.3%). The procedure was technically not possible in three patients (16.7%). In 10 of the 15 patients (66.6%) with feasible percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage, biliary leakage was definitely controlled without the need for surgical revision. Depending on the experience with the interventional procedure, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage should be considered as an alternative for treatment of symptomatic biliary leakage instead of immediate reoperation.

造影剂到达腹主动脉的峰值大小与患者因素的关系

目的探讨造影剂到达腹主动脉的峰值大小与患者因素之间的关系。方法108例患者以2.5ml/s注射欧乃派克(300mgI/ml)20ml,12s后采用testbolus技术在腹腔干水平同层动态扫描腹主动脉,用dynamic evaluation软件测得腹主动脉的峰值大小,采用单因素回归分析和多因素逐步回归分析法研究患者的性别、年龄、身高、体重、心率、血压、注射位点、达峰时间及是否有心脏病、糖尿病、或化疗史对造影剂到达腹主动脉峰值大小是否有影响及影响程度。结果造影剂到达腹主动脉峰值大小,在男性平均比女性低;其随年龄、身高、体重、达峰时间的增加而逐渐降低,注射位点在手背静脉其值平均比在肘部静脉低;其不受心率、血压、是否有心脏病、糖尿病或化疗史的影响。参考公式:峰值大小(HU)=383.8400-身高(cm)×1.0909-体重(kg)×0.6760 注射位点×16.7878-达峰时间(s)×1.6882。结论可根据患者的性别、年龄、身高、体重、注射位点和达峰时间来适当调整患者CT血管成像时造影剂用量。

CO2气腹对结肠癌细胞侵袭能力影响的体外研究

目的研究不同压强持续性CO2气腹处理对结肠癌细胞侵袭能力的影响。方法建立体外气腹模型,选用人结肠癌细胞株SW1116,分别在不同压强(6、9、12及15mmHg)99.5%医用CO2气体以及常规培养条件下暴露1h,取各压强组处理后0h和72h细胞,使用体外细胞侵袭实验模型进行体外侵袭实验。结果气腹处理后即刻(0h),15mmHg压强组结肠癌细胞侵袭荧光强度(11.36±0.861)明显低于处理前(13.43±1.113),差异有统计学意义(P=0.019),且明显低于其他各组(6mmHg组:15.58±1.015,P=0.000;9mmHg组:13.49±0.750,P=0.011;12mmHg组:13.37±0.949,P=0.016;常规培养组:13.43±2.027,P=0.014);6mmHg压强组处理后细胞侵袭荧光强度(15.58±1.015)高于处理前(14.42±1.491),但差异尚未达到统计学意义(P=0.056),且显著高于其他各压强组(9mmHg组:P=0.013;12mmHg组:P=0.009;15mmHg组:P=0.000;常规培养组:P=0.011)。气腹处理后72h,各压强组处理前、后的结肠癌细胞侵袭荧光强度差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);处理后各压强组间的结肠癌细胞侵袭荧光强度差异亦无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论CO2气腹能对结肠癌细胞的侵袭能力产生一过性影响,随着CO2气腹压强的增高,结肠癌细胞的侵袭能力可能受到抑制。     

脱钙骨基质与左旋聚乳酸/聚磷酸钙纤维对骨髓间充质干细胞黏附作用的比较

目的探讨左旋聚乳酸／聚磷酸钙纤维（PLLA／CPPf）与同种异体的脱钙骨基质（DBM）对BMSCs黏附作用的差异，为构建组织工程骨提供理想的支架材料。方法用扫描电镜观察两种支架材料的孔径；通过测吸水率比较其亲水性。将普通培养瓶培养的第3代BMSCs分别成骨诱导培养1周后，在体外分别与PLLA／CPPf和同种异体的DBM复合构建组织工程骨，于构建后10h计算细胞黏附率，并用扫描电镜观察比较两种支架材料对BMSCs黏附作用的差异。构建后每天在相差显微镜下观察BMSCs在两种支架材料上的生长情况，构建后第10天再行扫描电镜观察BMSCs在两种支架材料上的生长情况。结果DBM的孔径明显较PLLA／CPPf的大，孔隙率高，体外构建后10hDBM组的细胞黏附率为（91．3±8．2）％，PLLA/CPPf组为（82．2±7．7）％，两者之间差异具有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。DBM组于术后第3天网孔间出现细胞外基质，且随着时间的推移，基质变得稠密，而PLLA／CPPf的细胞外基质鲜见；第10天的扫描电镜也证实DBM组的细胞在支架材料上数量多，且细胞外的基质分泌较多。结论DBM较PLLA／CPPf更适于BMSCs的黏附生长，是理想的组织工程支架材料。     

A Pelvic Ring Fracture Complicated by Acute Traumatic Obstructed Direct Inguinal Hernia

Abstract A young male motorcyclist presented to the Pelvic Unit with an open-book fracture of his pelvis and an acute obstructed direct inguinal hernia. He was managed operatively and made an excellent recovery. Traumatic abdominal wall hernias are rare. This is a unique combination of injuries that the trauma surgeon should be aware of.
