顺铂白蛋白微球肝动脉栓塞后在体内的分布

用生物降解材料牛血清白蛋白制得顺铂微球，采用肝动脉插管术对新西兰兔实施肝动脉栓塞，以常规注射剂为照，研究药物体内分布。结果：肝组织顺铂量在不同时间均显著高于注射剂对照组（Ｐ＜０．０１），栓塞１４ｄ肝中顺铂量仍为对照组的３．５倍；肾脏、脾、肺、心、脑等组织的药物量均低于对照组。提示顺铂微球肝动脉栓塞能显著提高靶区的药物浓度，同时减少在其他组织中的分布，并可降低药物的肾毒性及神经毒性反应。

Axial tissue diffusion can account for the disparity between current models of hepatic elimination for lipophilic drugs

An assumption of previous models of hepatic elimination is that there is negligible axial diffusion in the liver. We show, by construction of a stochastic model and analysis of published data, that compounds which are readily diffusible and partitioned into hepatocytes may undergo axial tissue diffusion. The compounds most likely to be affected by axial tissue diffusion are the lipophilic drugs for which the cell membranes provide little resistance and which are highly extracted, thereby creating steep concentration gradients along the sinusoid at steady state. This phenomenon greatly modifies the availability of the compound under conditions of altered hepatic blood flow and protein binding. For moderately diffusible compounds, these relationships are similar to those predicted by the simplistic venous-equilibrium model. Hence, the paradoxical ability of the venous-equilibrium model to describe the steady-state kinetics of lipophilic drugs such as lidocaine, meperidine, and propranolol may be finally resolved. The effects of axial tissue diffusion and vascular dispersion on hepatic availability of drugs are compared. Vascular dispersion is of major importance to the availability of poorly diffusible compounds, whereas axial tissue diffusion becomes increasingly dominant for highly diffusive and partitioned substances.This study was supported by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia.     

男性肝硬化患者血清睾丸酮、雌二醇水平

本文观察了80例男性肝炎后肝硬化患者。检测了血清睾丸酮（T），雌二醇（E2）水平及E2／T比值的变化。与正常对照组及脑血管意外对照组进行了统计比较，发现E2及E2／T比值升高，T值降低2与对照组间比较均有显著差异，但肝硬化各组间无明显差异。文中分析了检测结果并探讨了与性功能变化的关系。认为性功能降低可能是由于血清睾丸酮水平降低所致。     

Report of a Case of Pericardial Mesothelioma with Liver Metastases Responding Well to Pemetrexed and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

Pericardial mesothelioma remains a disease with a bleak prognosis. We report the case of a patient with metastases to liver and good response to pemetrexed and carboplatin-based combination chemotherapy and consequent prolonged progression-free survival.     

Disposition of antipyrine in patients with extensive metastatic liver disease

Summary In the present study the effect of metastatic liver disease on hepatic drug metabolism has been examined by studying the pharmacokinetics of antipyrine and the urinary excretion of antipyrine and its three major metabolites (4-hydroxyantipyrine, norantipyrine, and 3-hydroxymethylantipyrine) in 12 patients with extensive metastatic liver disease, and in 12 matched healthy controls.In the patients total liver volume, the volume of the liver parenchyma, and the volume of the liver metastases were determined by computed tomography. The volume of liver metastases always exceeded 35% of the total liver volume.There were no significant differences between the patients and controls in plasma half-life, plasma clearance, or apparent volume of distribution of antipyrine.The cumulative urinary excretion of antipyrine and its three major metabolites was significantly lower in patients [44 (18)%] than in controls [71 (8)%]. The excretion of antipyrine itself was unchanged and the decrease in cumulative excretion was due to reduced excretion of the three metabolites.The results show that the activity of the hepatic mixed function oxidases was not impaired even in patients with extensive metastatic liver disease. This may be because liver metastases do not cause a corresponding reduction in the volume of normal hepatic parenchyma. The decreased urinary excretion of the three major metabolites of antipyrine, which are mainly glucuronidated, may have been due to an alteration in the process of conjugation.     

Apoptosis of bile duct epithelial cells in hepatic allograft rejection

Liver biopsy remains the 'gold standard' for monitoring rejection in liver transplant patients. Portal inflammation, bile duct damage and endothelialitis are recognized features of hepatic allograft rejection. The pathogenesis of the bile duct injury during rejection, however, remains unclear. To define the mechanism of bile duct damage, we studied the light- and electronmicroscopic appearance of hepatic tissue from selected patients in whom allograft failure was solely due to rejection. Of the 25 orthotopic liver transplant rejection cases examined, 17 were mild, seven were moderate and one was severe rejection. Light microscopy examination of the damaged bile duct epithelium revealed evidence of apoptosis which was confirmed by electronmicroscopy. Furthermore, there appeared to be a positive correlation between the grade of rejection and the number of apoptotic cells. Also included in the study were 13 cases of chronic active hepatitis and 10 normal livers which showed the least apoptotic cells. We conclude that the identification of apoptotic cells in damaged bile ducts in allograft biopsies might be helpful in the diagnosis of rejection and in assessment of the severity of rejection.     

Changes in hepatic lymph vessels in endotoxaemia.

This study was undertaken into rats to investigate changes in the hepatic lymph vessels and the space of Disse in endotoxaemia and to examine their relationship with the development of endotoxin-induced hepatic injury. Lymph stasis, namely dilatation of the lymph vessels and oedema, developed rapidly in the medium-sized portal canals, the large portal canals, and the liver hilum after endotoxin injection, but not in the small portal canals. Such changes reached their maximum 4-8 h after endotoxin injection and had recovered markedly by 16 h after the injection. The space of Disse remained within normal limits during this period. These findings suggest that the intrahepatic lymph stasis in endotoxaemia may be caused by a reduction in the pumping activity of the extrahepatic and the intrahepatic large lymph vessels rather than by an increase of lymph formation in the liver lobules. There was no evidence suggesting a direct relationship between the disturbance of hepatic lymph flow and the development of hepatic injury in endotoxaemia.
