不同形状界面对界面射流的影响──彩色多普勒与激光荧光染料方法的研究

本文通过应用彩色多普勒及激光荧光染料显示射流方法研究了不同形状界面对射流的影响。结果表明对照组及平坦界面射流时，彩色多普勒与激光荧光染料两种方法无显著差异；在弯曲界面条件下，彩色多普勒射流小于激光荧光染料射流（Ｐ＜０．０１～０．０００１）。彩色多普勒研究表明不同形状界面射流大小分别与每搏容量相关好（ｒ＝０．８３～０．９９），但射流大小明显不同。凹形界面射流面积最小，平坦及凸形界面射流面积也小于对照组。研究提示不同形状界面可以导致界面射流不同程度地减小，并且彩色多普勒也不易对弯曲界面的射流完全成像。在临床上应用彩色多普勒对返流定量时，需考虑上述影响。     

Transceive surface coil array for MRI of the human prostate at 4T.

A novel torso transceive surface coil array for prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) at 4T is presented. It is shown that with the use of a conformal transceive surface coil array with 50 Omega transmitter amplifiers and receiver preamplifiers, one can perform whole-volume torso imaging while maintaining the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) inherent to surface coil designs. Recent theoretical considerations have shown that by focusing the infringing radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field, one can achieve increased penetration and signal homogeneity compared to a conventional circularly polarized driving scheme. A variation of this driving scheme particular to the proposed coil design resulted in a twofold increase in SNR in the prostate compared to that achieved with a conventional circularly polarized driving scheme. The novel transceive surface coil array presented is capable of full-volume imaging of the human torso at 4T while maintaining signal penetration in the deep region of the prostate gland.     

氨乙基氨丙基聚二甲基硅氧烷改性水性聚酯型聚氨酯的研究

由聚酯二元醇、异佛尔酮二异氰酸酯和二羟甲基丙酸合成聚氨酯预聚体，以氨乙基氨丙基聚二甲基硅氧(AEAPS)为扩链剂，制备了AEAPS改性聚氨酯水分散液。与未改性的聚氨酯水分散液相比，AEAPS改性聚氨酯水分散液的粒径增大，但粒径分布和表面张力基本不变，说明疏水的聚二甲基硅氧烷侧链被包裹于分散颗粒的内部；此外，改性聚氨酯水分散液的冻融稳定性显著增强。AEAPS改性聚氨酯水分散液成膜后，吸水率明显下降，水在膜表面的接触角增加，400℃时热失重下降，具有良好的疏水性和耐热性。     

The significance of involvement of a free serosal surface for recurrence and survival following resection of clinicopathological stage B and C rectal cancer

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of tumour at a free serosal surface was independently associated with pelvic recurrence or survival in patients who had a resection for clinicopathological stage B or stage C rectal cancer and who had not received adjuvant therapy. METHOD: Data were drawn from a comprehensive, prospective hospital registry of all resections for rectal cancer from January 1971 to December 1998 with follow up to December 2003. Statistical analysis employed the chi(2) test or Fisher's exact probability, Kaplan-Meier estimation and proportional hazards regression, with a significance level of < or =0.05 and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: In 665 patients with stages B or C tumour, 35 (5.3%; CI 3.7-7.2%) had tumour at a free serosal surface. These comprised 6/332 (1.8%; CI 0.8-3.7%) patients with stage B tumour and 29/333 (8.7%; CI 6.1-12.2%) with stage C tumour. After adjustment for other relevant variables, involvement of a free serosal surface was significantly associated with pelvic recurrence [hazard ratio (HR) 2.7; CI 1.3-5.5] and diminished survival (HR 1.6; CI 1.1-2.4) but not with systemic (only) recurrence. CONCLUSION: This study has confirmed that direct tumour spread to a free serosal surface independently predicts pelvic recurrence and diminished survival after resection of clinicopathological stage B and C rectal cancer. This feature should always be sought by the pathologist and reported when present, and noted by the surgeon and oncologist. Serosal involvement should be evaluated further for its utility in selecting patients for adjuvant therapy.

Topical application of fluorides on teeth

Abstract Prevention of caries in exposed root surfaces constitutes an important clinical problem. It is thus important that clinicians involved with periodontology have an insight into fluoride prophylaxis. The understanding of the cariostatic mechanism of fluoride has improved during recent years. The aim of the present review is to give a short account of the present concept. Calcium fluoride appears to be the only product which is formed on enamel, dentin or cementum during brief topical treatments with fluoride or use of toothpaste containing fluoride. This calcium fluoride is stable in the oral environment: this is contrary to what was believed until recently. The calcium fluoride constitutes a pH-dependant reservoir of fluoride which releases fluoride when pH drops. The practical consequences of this concept is discussed.     

Reversible Adsorption of Soluble Hexameric Insulin onto the Surface of Insulin Crystals Cocrystallized with Protamine: An Electrostatic Interaction

Mixing pharmaceutical preparations of soluble neutral regular insulin solution (NRI) and neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) crystalline insulin suspension leads to a reduction in the measurable amount of soluble insulin in the formulation supernatant. However in spite of the loss in soluble insulin, the time-actions of these components have been shown, in clinical trials, to be unaffected. The interaction between these different physical forms of insulin has been studied using reversed-phase HPLC, isothermal titrating calorimetry, and Doppler electrophoretic light scattering analysis. Sorbent surface and solution perturbation studies revealed that the NRI adsorbs to the surface of the NPH crystal with an equilibrium constant ranging from 10⁴ M^–1 to 10⁷ M^–!, depending on the protamine concentration, pH, ionic strength, and temperature. This adsorption behavior suggests that the binding is mediated by electrostatic interactions arising between the positively-charged NPH crystal and the negatively-charged NRI hexamer. Doppler electrophoretic light scattering results, used to probe the pH-dependent surface charge of NPH and soluble insulin hexamer, support the conclusion that electrostatic interactions mediate the adsorption process. Adsorption studies under physiological conditions indicate that the elevated temperature and ionic strength, in a subcutaneous depot, are sufficient to lead to the dissociation of the NRI/NPH complex that exists in these NPH mixture formulations.     

曲马多作为喉部表面麻醉辅助药的效果观察

实验观察曲马多对小鼠中枢情绪反应和电刺激豚鼠引起咽反射的影响，８０只小鼠和４０只豚鼠分成四组．表面麻醉前各组小鼠分别注射东莨菪碱：东莨菪碱加曲马多：阿托品：阿托品加曲马多。结果表明，曲马多能明显增加小鼠激怒情绪反应的电刺激次数和提高电刺激豚鼠咽反射的电压阈值（Ｐ＜０．０１）并能显著加强东莨菪碱对中枢的镇静作用和降低呵托品对中枢的兴奋作用。临床上观察１６０例声带息肉手术患者，分四组，表面麻醉前给药方法如上。结果表明，曲马多作辅助用药时，既可减少丁卡因用量，又可缩短手术时间，还可降低患者的不适和疼痛。
