皮质激素对人体血管收缩试验的研究

在20名正常人前臂内侧涂以4种以清凉油为基质含不同浓度地塞米松(0.1、0.05、0.025、0.0125%)的皮炎速灵油膏,并以清凉油作阴性对照,地塞米松软膏作阳性对照。采用改良的Mckenzie和Stoughton法,将六种药剂涂于同一个体,以消除个体间反应差异。涂药后3h拭去药物,再经2、3、4、5、7、9及21h进行观察并打分,在双盲条件下根据用药部位发白情况由3名评估者对每名受试者独立打分,应用Wilcoxon等经典秩和试验法进行统计分析,结果显示清凉油和所有含地塞米松的制剂之间存在着非常显著的差异,并对受试者反应和评估者打分的变异系数进行了计算。我们的体会是血管收缩试验在黄种人也是可行的,而这种打分系统只要提供足够数量的受试者,特别适宜于应用Wilcoxon等统计方法。     

氨氯地平与尼群地平治疗高血压的多中心平行对照研究

采用多中心、随机、单盲、组间、平行对照的方法对488例原发性高血压患者进行氨氯地平或尼群地平4周治疗观察，显示氨氯地平的降压有效率为90．4％，较尼群地平显著为高。不良反应较少，安全性好。每日只需服药1次，剂量5～10mg，方便病人。     

卡维地洛与美多心安对高血压患者治疗效果的比较研究

目的　评价国产卡维地洛的降压效应与安全性。方法　 90例原发性高血压患者随机分为观察组与对照组 ,分别口服国产卡维地洛 1片 (10mg)或美多心安 1片 (2 5mg) ,2次 /d ,4周为 1疗程。 结果　卡维地洛组服药 4周后收缩压 (SBP)及舒张压 (DBP)与治疗前比较分别下降 (18.92± 11.5 8)、(12 .34± 7.2 5 )mmHg(P <0 .0 1) ,美多心安组与治疗前比较分别下降 (19.13± 9.70 )、(13.5 0± 7.4 6 )mmHg(P <0 .0 1) ;观察组与对照组总有效率分别为 89.4 8%与 80 .4 3% ,两组比较无显著差异 (P >0 .0 5 )。两药的不良反应均轻微 ,发生率分别为 2 .7%和 4 .4 %。结论　卡维地洛是一种安全有效的抗高血压药物     

原发性高血压患者应用抗高血压药物不良事件原因分析

目的 探讨原发性高血压患者应用抗高血压药物不良事件及其原因。方法 将243例观察对象按照用药正确与否分3组，应用面对面横断面调查方法，分析比较组间不良事件发生率及其原因。结果 导致原发性高血压患者发生不良事件的主要原因是经常停药、他人介绍用药、媒介宣传用药、经济原因停药、配伍不合理、测量值不正确、用一种药物时间过长和药物个体适应性差等原因。结论 合理正确应用抗高血压药物对于保护高血压患者靶器官具有重要意义。     

Impaired motor imagery in patients with essential tremor: a case control study.

Motor imagery (MI), which refers to the process of mental representation of movements, has not been studied in patients with essential tremor (ET). We investigated the presence of impaired MI in ET patients compared with healthy controls. A group of drug-naive and nondemented ET patients and age-matched controls were studied using transcranial magnetic stimulation, while they were specifically instructed to try and imagine themselves performing two motor tasks. The various clinical and electrophysiological variables were evaluated and compared. Repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated a significant difference between ET patients and controls with respect to mean motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes (F(1,38) = 31.92, P < 0.005) during MI. The process of MI effectively facilitated MEP amplitude in controls but not in ET patients, regardless of side of stimulation or motor tasks. We provide evidence to demonstrate impairment of MI in a group of ET patients compared with healthy controls. The basis for this novel finding is unclear, and further studies are warranted to determine whether it is related to cerebellar or motor cortical dysfunction.     

Inhibition of warm ischemic injury to rat liver, pancreas, and heart grafts by controlling the nutritional status of both donor and recipient

In this study, we tested the effect of donor fasting with or without the use of an essential fatty acids deficiency (EFAD) diet in the recipient using rat heart, pancreas, and liver transplant models. We then compared the survivals, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) response, and white cell accumulation in rats in order to clarify the mechanisms of the beneficial effect of donor fasting and recipient EFAD. It was found that when the grafts were obtained from fasted donors and then transplanted into fed recipients, the survival rate was significantly higher for all three grafts than for those obtained from fed rats and transplanted into fed rats. The best survival was seen for pancreas grafts obtained from fasted donors and then transplanted into EFAD recipients. TNF-α secretion was significantly suppressed in both fasted and EFAD rats, and both the total cell count and neutrophil count were suppressed in EFAD rats. These results clearly indicate that in addition to liver grafts, both heart and pancreas grafts obtained from fasted animals are more tolerant to warm ischemic injury. Furthermore, the combination of donor fasting and recipient EFAD acts synergistically to inhibit the post-transplantation inflammatory reaction (through decreased TNF-α secretion and white cell accumulation), thus resulting in an improved survival.

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus associated with empty sella

A 70-year-old female presented with the clinical triad of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and senile tremor. Neuroimaging disclosed findings of both NPH and empty sella (ES). A ventriculoperitoneal shunt did not modify the clinical course except for a mild and transient improvement, and shunt malfunction occured later on. The association of NPH and ES may result from a common underlying mechanism such as transient increases in intracranial pressure.
