白血病细胞p16基因突变分析

目的探讨ｐ１６基因突变在白血病发生中的作用及基因突变的机制。方法利用点突变检测仪、水平和垂直板电泳对ｐ１６基因的外显子１、外显子２的ＰＣＲ扩增产物作缺失和点突变分析。结果在白血病３５例临床标本中有２２例发生缺失突变，６例发生点突变，突变率约８０％。在２２例缺失突变病例中，有１０例为不完全缺失突变即有低于外显子５０９ｂｐ的扩增产物。结论ｐ１６基因含有“ＧＣ”ＤＮＡ重复顺序，易发生ＤＮＡ重组及易位和重排。在白血病发生中起重要作用

慢性低氧大鼠肺动脉内皮素mRNA的表达及定位

目的：探讨慢性低氧大鼠肺动脉内皮素－1基因表达及分布。方法：采用生物素标记cRNA探针，对Wistar大鼠肺动脉进行原位杂交。结果：低氧1周组及低氧2周组大鼠大部分肺动脉内皮细胞ET－1mRNA表达呈阳性信号，而对照组大鼠仅极少数阳性信号（P＜0．01）；低氧1周组大鼠部分显示强阳性信号。低氧1周组及低氧2周组大鼠部分肺动脉平滑肌细胞呈现ET-1mRNA表达阳性信号，而对照组大鼠则无阳性信号表达（P＜0．01及0．05）。结论：慢性低氧对大鼠肺动脉ET－1分泌的影响是在基因转录水平进行，且主要细胞定位在肺动脉内皮细胞，此外还包括肺动脉平滑肌细胞。     

尿激酶溶栓对急性心肌梗死患者单核细胞组织因子表达的影响

目的 :了解冠心病患者外周循环单核细胞组织因子 (TF)表达与冠心病病情的关系 ;观察溶栓治疗对急性心肌梗死患者单核细胞TF表达的影响。方法 :测定了 2 2例稳定型心绞痛 (SA)患者 ,2 1例不稳定型心绞痛(UA)患者 ,1 5例急性心肌梗死 (AMI)患者用尿激酶溶栓前及溶栓后 ,1 8例健康人外周循环单核细胞组织因子阳性率。单核细胞组织因子阳性率测定用免疫荧光染色及流式细胞术。结果 :SAP组 ,UAP组和AMI组单核细胞TF阳性率高于对照组 ,UAP组和AMI组单核细胞TF阳性率高于SAP组 ,单核细胞TF阳性率与冠心病病情显著相关。急性心肌梗死患者溶栓后 2h单核细胞TF阳性率升高。结论 :外周血单核细胞TF的表达与冠心病病情严重程度密切相关 ;急性心肌梗死患者溶栓治疗后单核细胞TF的表达进一步增强 ,这可能是溶栓后凝血酶活化的原因之一。     

肾移植术后肺部感染的诊断与治疗

目的探讨肾移植术后肺部感染的诊断与治疗。方法对21例肾移植术后肺部感染的病原体及其致病特点、诊断、治疗等临床资料进行分析。结果21例肾移植术后肺部感染患者中单纯细菌感染6例(28.57%),真菌感染2例(9.52%),巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染2例(9.52%),结核菌感染1例(4.76%),混合感染9例(42.86%),病原体不清1例。2例予以呼吸机辅助治疗。19例治愈,治愈率为90.48%,2例直接死于肺部感染。结论肾移植术后肺部感染患者应早期行病原学诊断,积极有效抗感染,及时调整免疫抑制方案。     

Comparison of local and general anesthesia in tension-free (Lichtenstein) hernioplasty: a prospective randomized trial

To compare pulmonary effects, postoperative pain and fatigue, morbidity, patient satisfaction, and cost of different anesthetic techniques for inguinal hernia repair, 50 patients were randomized to local and general anesthesia groups (LA and GA). All patients received the same premedications and the same postoperative analgesic regimen. The standardized postoperative analgesic, intramuscular pyroxicam 20 mg, was given to all patients in the recovery room and an additional 20 mg on the same day was given as requested by each patient. Pulmonary function studies and arterial blood gas analysis were performed 1 h prior to the operation and at the postoperative 8th and 24th hours. All patients underwent Lichtenstein's tension-free hernioplasty. Postoperative pain and fatigue were registered 8 h and 24 h after the operation. A questionnaire was filled out by the patients, and they were asked to give grades for the general comfort of the anesthesia and the surgical procedure (1=worst, 10=best). Postoperative pulmonary function tests were significantly poorer in the GA group both on 8th- and 24th-hour measurements (P<0.05). Patients who underwent LA had significantly lower PCO₂ and higher PO₂ at the postoperative 8th hour (P<0.05). Mean postoperative pain and fatigue scores revealed a significant difference in favor of local anesthesia at only the 8th hour (P<0.05). There were two complications, one in each group (a hematoma in LA and a urinary retention in GA). Patient satisfaction grades were not different in the two groups. We conclude that LA in inguinal hernia repair does not adversely affect pulmonary functions, patients feel less pain, and patient satisfaction is comparable to that with GA.

Ethical aspects of withdrawing/withholding renal replacement therapies on patients in acute renal failure in an intensive care unit

The majority of patients being treated for acute renal failure in intensive care units have multiple medical problems. Accordingly, the withdrawal of renal replacement therapies should be considered as part of a general decision about whether to initiate or continue with treatment per se. Several guidelines on withdrawing and withholding therapy have been produced and some common themes emerge: concerns to avoid euthanasia, potential for benefit, patient consent (shared decision‐making), team consensus/decision‐making, and the provision of appropriate palliative care and resource implications. Each of these is considered in turn, although the word limit for this paper does not permit detailed exposition.     

冠状动脉造影正常的急性心肌梗死患者的临床特点

目的：探讨冠状动脉造影（CAG）正常的急性心肌梗死（AMI）患者的发生机制及临床特点。方法：分析2000年6月至2001年10月86例AMI患者的CAG结果及冠心病相关危险因素。结果：86例中CAG正常者8例，年龄（39＋11．4）（25－52）岁；多无心绞痛史、高血压史、糖尿病史、血脂异常史及家族史；以情绪波动、精神压抑、大量吸烟、饮酒史者居多。结论：冠状动脉痉挛、血栓自溶或溶栓治疗后血栓消失是其主要发生机制；冠状动脉正常的AMI患者其貌似正常，实属高危人群，应高度重视。

Epidemiology of acute diarrhea in children living in Sicily

A longitudinal survey (February 1984 - January 1985) on the incidence of acute diarrhea episodes in a sample of 8,164 children (aged 0–12 years) living in southeastern Sicily was carried out by means of weekly telephone interviews with doctors practising in the territory. The incidence rate was 0.479 (0.472–0.485 95% C.I.) per child per year and the frequency of episodes was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in children aged 0–4 years (0.86). Diarrhea was more frequent in industrial areas than in rural ones, and almost half (45.1%) of the total episodes had a mild course. No death from diarrhea occurred and admission to hospital was reported for 8.4% of all cases.Corresponding author.
