Classification of patients with whiplash associated disorders (WAD): reliable and valid subgroups based on the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI-S).

BACKGROUND: Classification of patients with chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD) into homogenous subgroups is an important objective in order to tailor interventions and to control for subgroup differences when evaluating treatment outcome. AIMS: The aims of this study were to investigate if it was possible to replicate and describe the three cluster solution and profiles found in other pain groups and describe cluster profiles based on self-reported Multidimensional Pain Inventory-scores for patients with WAD three months after the injury, describe characteristics of the clusters in relation to disability, self-efficacy and coping at the same point in time and to validate the cluster solution by comparing clusters in disability, self-efficacy and coping over time. METHODS: Ninety-one WAD-patients three months after the accident took part in the study. The measures used were the Multidimensional Pain Inventory-Swedish version (MPI-S), The Self-Efficacy Scale, The Coping Strategies Questionnaire and The Pain Disability Index. Cluster analysis was conducted for the total sample MPI-S subscale scores. RESULTS: The adaptive copers cluster represented 42% of the sample, dysfunctional 34% of the sample, and interpersonally distressed 24% of the sample. The external validation of cluster solution showed that there were several significant differences between clusters in self-efficacy, disability and coping measures. There was also a significant interaction effect (clusterxtime) in disability (PDI). Patients in dysfunctional cluster reported a decreased disability over time. CONCLUSIONS: These results support the presence of different subgroups among patients with whiplash associated disorders. This classification can be seen as a complement to a classification based on medical condition.

胆汁反流性胃炎的胃运动功能研究

目的:探讨胃排空改变以及胃窦平滑肌电节律紊乱在胆汁反流性胃炎发病中的可能机制。方法:对59例有慢性上消化道症状的慢性胃炎病人,根据胃镜下可见显著胆汁反流,胃液呈深黄色或深绿色,胃液pH≥3.0,甘胆酸浓度>58μg/ml,胃粘膜病理积分>9,判断为病理性胆汁反流(部分病人经:显象进一步证实)。胃镜下未见胆汁反流,胃液清亮,其余指标均未达上述标准者判断为非胆汁反流性。选出18例胆汁反流性胃炎病人(BRG组)和17例非胆汁反流性胃炎病人(NRG组),上述检查正常的10名健康志愿者(HC组)作为对照受检者进食一份双核素标记的标准餐,用照相机以1帧/2分钟连续动态照相120分钟,部分受试者又在空腹时检测胃窦肌电。结果:BRG组有明显的固、液体双相排空延迟,以固相延滞期(SLP)延长较为突出,而固体半排空时间(HSET)延长在很大程度上受到SLP延长的影响:NRG组仅有HSET显著延长。进一步胃电检测结果表明,各组间平均慢渡频率(MSWF)无显著性差异,出现胃电节律失常(DRM)在各组的分布为HC组1/7、NRG组3/10和BRG组7/13,严重程度BRG>NRG>HC。结论:胆汁反流性胃炎者有较严重的胃窦功能不良,且胃肌电可予进一步证实,胃底和十二指肠动力异常也可能与胆汁反流性胃炎的发病有关。     

Selected monoclonal antibodies can increase the accuracy of cytodiagnosis of neoplastic effusions of cryptic origin expanded in a short term culture.

The use of a selected panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to tumor associated antigens (TAA) in immunocytochemical (IIC) tests has been shown, in a preliminary study, to be a powerful diagnostic tool for the identification of the primary solid tumor causing metastatic effusion. Despite this improvement in a minority of neoplastic fluids a number of different causes may still determine false negative (FN) immunocytochemical diagnoses. The aim of the present study was to confirm the diagnostic accuracy of this panel of MoAb. This was done by analyzing in IIC tests a larger number of effusions and by evaluating whether the expansion in short term culture of those fluids with an uncertain malignant morphology could provide an adequate cellular substrate for immunocytodiagnosis. The analysis of 314 effusions confirmed the results of the pilot study and demonstrated that the combination of short term culture and immunocytochemical assays can further increase the sensitivity of this novel diagnostic procedure from 84.3% to 95.3%.

Immunohistochemical localization of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI-1), a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor, in Alzheimer''s disease

Senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are composed principally of Aβ, a 4 kDa fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Longer forms of APP which contain a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor (KPI) domain are elevated in aged and in AD brains. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI) contains three tandem KPI domains and has been well characterized for its role as a natural anticoagulant in the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Functionally, the first two KPI domains of TFPI bind and inhibit the activity of factor Xa and VIIa respectively. In addition, TFPI and APP-KPI share a common clearance mechanism through the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). As part of an ongoing study of the role of KPI-containing proteins in AD, the current study examines TFPI localization in the brain. We report here that TFPI is immunohistochemically localized to microglia in both AD and non-AD individuals and is localized to some senile plaques in AD. Western blot analyses indicate that the amount of TFPI is elevated in frontal cortex samples from AD brains. We propose that TFPI may play a cell specific role in proteinase regulation in the brain.
