穴位综合疗法对先天愚型患者智商的影响

【目的】评价中医穴位疗法对先天愚型患者智商的影响。【方法】将80例先天愚型患者随机分为穴位综合疗法治疗组(简称综合治疗组)、脑复康对照组(简称脑复康组)、空白对照组,综合治疗组取四神针(百会穴前、后、左、右各旁开1.5寸)、智三针(神庭穴和左右本神穴)、颞三针(耳失直上2寸为第1针,左右旁开1寸为第2、3针)、脑三针(脑户穴及两侧脑空穴)为主穴,进行针刺和维生素B_(12)、维丁胶性钙、脑活素穴位注射,脑复康组口服脑复康,空白组不作任何特殊治疗;4个月为1个疗程,期间嘱家长在家对患儿进行相应的教育和训练;治疗前和疗程结束后采用 《中国修订韦氏儿童智力量表》测定患儿的智商(IQ),包括语言IQ(VIQ)、操作IQ(PIQ)和总IQ(FIQ)。【结果】4个月治疗后,综合治疗组总体智力水平均有提高(与空白组比较,均P<0.01),并较脑复康组为优;并且综合治疗组治疗后IQ的提高主要为PIO各项得分的提高所贡献,与操作有关的几个项目的得分与治疗前比,均有显著意义(P<0.05),而VIQ得分治疗后未见显著性提高(均P>0.05)。【结论】穴位综合疗法能提高先天愚型患者的智商。

豚鼠内耳前庭感觉毛细胞的分离

用机械分离法从豚鼠前庭感觉上皮中分离出不同种类的前庭感觉毛细胞（ＶＨＣ）。ＶＨＣ主要可分为Ⅰ型和Ⅱ型细胞。两种细胞形态虽有所差异，但一般均有四形或瓶形胞体，胞核位于细胞基部，胞颈和纤毛变化较大。细胞的活性可通过１％中性红染色鉴定，发现在室温下，１ｈ内大约９０％以上的分离ＶＨＣ可维持其正常形态和活性。并参照对外毛细胞形态的研究提出活性ＶＨＣ的鉴别标准。此项工作为进一步研究ＶＨＣ的感觉机制和某些疾病的发生机理打下了基础。     

A randomized prospective comparision of two methods of administering topical treatment in otitis externa

Ten patients with bilateral moderate or severe otitis externa were studied. Following aural toilet each patient was subjected to two different treatments: one ear had alternate day dressings containing a topical antibiotic/steroid mixture, while the external canal of the other was filled with the same topical preparation (sump filling). Improvement in the severity of the otitis externa was assessed after 1 week. 9 out of 10 ear canals improved in each group. An estimate of the relative cost of each treatment was made and sump filling was found to be less expensive. The results suggest that sump filling is a low cost alternative to standard treatment in moderate and severe otitis externa.

Learning root debridement with curettes and power-driven instruments in vitro: the role of operator motivation and self-assessment

The influence of systematic dummy-head training with Periopolishe (PP, group A) and Gracey instruments (GRA, group B) on the effectiveness of root debridement was evaluated by Rühling et al., 2002 (9). Their results indicate that independent of the instrument used, untrained operators were only able to debride root surfaces at low levels of effectiveness. It was possible to increase effectiveness to a high level through systematic training in both groups. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of operator motivation and self-assessment on scaling effectiveness. Before baseline, operators were asked to answer a questionnaire rating the expectation of the instrument performance. Four groups of inexperienced operators (n = 11 each) received 10 weeks dummy-head training. In groups A (GRA) and B (PP), training was combined with a motivational programme. Groups C (GRA) and D (PP) received the same training, but no additional motivational programme. In a dummy-head, 10 test teeth were debrided and operators were asked to estimate their effectiveness of debridement at each test day. Effectiveness was calculated as percentage of debrided root area on 10 test teeth at different time points with an image analysis programme (NIH Image) and ANOVA. Two groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test (unpaired) and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test (paired). Motivated groups (A and B) reached about 25% higher debridement results (p < 0.001) and were able to estimate their effectiveness more precisely compared to groups C and D. In the low motivation groups (C and D), overestimation of more than 20% was evident (p < 0.001). The questionnaires revealed underestimation of the GRA instruments and overestimation of PP instruments. Operator motivation and self-assessment greatly influence learning of effective root debridement.     

A critical period for functional vestibular development in zebrafish.

We have determined a critical period for vestibular development in zebrafish by using a bioreactor designed by NASA to simulate microgravity for cells in culture. A critical period is defined as the briefest period of time during development when stimulus deprivation results in long lasting or permanent sensory deficits. Zebrafish eggs were collected within 3 hours of being laid and fertilized. In experiment 1, eggs were placed in the bioreactor at 3, 24, 30, 36, 48, or 72 hours postfertilization (hPF) and maintained in the bioreactor until 96 hPF. In experiment 2, eggs were placed in the bioreactor immediately after they were collected and maintained in the bioreactor until 24, 36, 48, 60, 66, 72, or 96 hPF. Beginning at 96 hPF, all larvae had their vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VOR) evaluated once each day for 5 days. Only larvae that hatched from eggs that were placed in the bioreactor before 30 hPF in experiment 1 or removed from the bioreactor later than 66 hPF in experiment 2 had VOR deficits that persisted for at least 5 days. These data suggest a critical period for vestibular development in the zebrafish that begins before 30 hPF and ends after 66 hPF. To confirm this, zebrafish eggs were placed in the bioreactor at 24 hPF and removed at 72 hPF. VORs were evaluated in these larvae once each day for 5 days beginning at 96 hPF. These larvae had VOR deficits that persisted for at least 5 days. In addition, larvae that had been maintained in the bioreactor from 24 to 66 hPF or from 30 to 72 hPF, had only temporary VOR deficits. In a final experiment, zebrafish eggs were placed in the bioreactor at 3 hPF and removed at 96 hPF but the bioreactor was turned off from 24 hPF to 72 hPF. These larvae had normal VORs when they were removed from the bioreactor at 96 hPF. Taken as a whole, these data support the idea that there is a critical period for functional maturation of the zebrafish vestibular system. The developmental period identified includes the timeframe during which the vestibular primary afferent neurons are born, innervate their central and peripheral targets, and remodel their central projections.

神经根慢性嵌压损伤的动物模型建立

目的：建立一种由自身骨性增生造成神经根慢性嵌压损伤的动物模型，为相关实验提供造模方法一方法：30只健康家猫，手术显露右侧C7、C8和L5、L6冲经根及其椎问孔内口，用牙髓钻破坏椎间孔周围骨皮质后，将“V”形松质骨块沿骨壁嵌于神经根通道的骨性管道内及侧隐窝后方，左侧做正常对照。在造模术前和术后第2、4、8、12、24周行磁刺激运动诱发电位(MEP)检测，每次随机选6只，4～5只行影像学检查，以确定神经根通道的狭窄程度和神经根受压状态，6只均做病理组织学检查和椎间孔截面积测量。结果：术后早期实验侧肢体出现行为异常：而后有不同程度肌萎缩；后期部分肢体远端出现溃疡。影像学检查随着嵌压时间延长．实验侧椎间孔骨痂增多，狭窄加重。神经根受压变形，椎间孔骨性截面积8周后明显减小，与对照侧比较有显著性差异。术后2周，神经根组织学检查主要表现为神经束膜、内膜的水肿。髓鞘肿胀；4周后发生节段性脱髓鞘：8周时神经轴突增粗、断裂，远端瓦勒氏变性；12周后变性冲经结构崩解、吸收，形成空洞：24周时整个神经干纤维化。术后4周时实验侧MEP开始出现潜伏期延长；8周时伴有波形分化不清；12周波幅明显下降：24周MEP的引出困难，部分电位消失。结论：采用椎问孔内自体松质骨植入，造成神经根慢性嵌压性损伤模型成功率高，操作简单，适用于脊柱各个节段，其损伤部位和形式与临床更为接近。
