为提高小婴儿室缺伴肺动脉高压的手术疗效，总结１６例８ｋｇ以下室间隔缺损（室缺）伴肺动脉高压婴儿行急诊手术修补室缺的经验。其中１４例在深低温停循环下进行，手术效果满意；术后死亡１例（６％）。作者认为，婴儿巨型室缺应尽早手术治疗为宜，深低温停循环方法尤为适合；术后强调持续保持病婴镇静及呼吸道通畅，防止肺高压危象的发生。     

脉冲式多普勒超声心动图对糖尿病左室舒张功能的评价

用脉冲式多普勒超声心电图对51例糖尿病患者的左室舒张功能参数进行了测定.与正常对照组结果相比,糖尿病患者的左室舒张早晚期最大流速之比、快速充盈分数、快速充盈减速度及左室舒张早期最大流速显著降低,而左室舒张晚期最大流速显著增高.在糖尿病患者中,有视网膜病变组与无视网膜病变组相比,左室舒张早晚期最大流速之比、快速充盈分数及快速充盈加速度显著降低,而左室舒张晚期最大流速显著增高.提示糖尿病患者左室舒张功能受损.     

高血压大鼠心肌中MMP-2的蛋白表达及其RAS阻断后的变化

[目的]探讨高血压大鼠左室心肌中基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)蛋白表达的变化以及血管紧张素转化酶抑制剂(ACEI)、血管紧张素Ⅱ1型受体拮抗剂(AT1-ant)单独与联合治疗对高血压大鼠心肌中MMP-2蛋白表达的影响。[方法]40只雄性8周龄的易卒中自发性高血压大鼠(SHRSP)随机分成5组:SHRSP对照组、安慰剂组、缬沙坦组、苯那普利组及缬沙坦与苯那普利联用组。另外,取8只雄性8周龄的京都Wistar大鼠(WKY)作为对照。利用免疫组织化学的方法检测WKY以及SHRSP左室心肌中MMP-2蛋白的表达。[结果]SHRSP的收缩压(SBP)、左室质量指数(LVMI)、胶原容积分数(CVF)、血管周围胶原面积(PVCA)、左室心肌MMP-2蛋白表达较同龄的WKY显著增高。给予苯那普利、缬沙坦单独或联合治疗后SHRSP的LVMI、CVF、PVCA、左室心肌 MMP-2蛋白表达都显著降低。苯那普利、缬沙坦单独应用时的效果没有差异,而联合应用的效果更显著。[结论]SHRSP左室心肌中MMP-2蛋白表达增高,肾素血管紧张素系统(RAS)阻断后MMP-2蛋白表达显著减少;苯那普利、缬沙坦逆转高血压心室重塑的作用可能部分通过下调MMP-2蛋白表达而实现;苯那普利和缬沙坦都能降低SHRSP的血压以及逆转其左室重塑,而联合用药的作用更显著。     

肺切除术影响围手术期右心功能

Objective To investigate the changes of perioperative right ventricular function after pulmonary resction. Methods 45 cases of pulmonary resection were divided into four groups.Group Ⅰwas wedge resection(n = 10), GroupⅡ was lobectomy(n = 19), Group Ⅲ was double lobectomy(n=7)and Group Ⅳ was pneumonectomy(n=9). The changes of CVP, PAMP, PEP/ET, Sa, VTIs, RVSP, Ea/Aa, and Tel were evaluated by traditional ultrasonic and tissue Doppler ultrasonic techniques at different time inter- vals (pre-operation, 5-7 days orland 1 month post-operation), Results Compared with the pre-operation CVP, the indexes of all groups have no significant changes post-operatively. Wedge resection didn' t obviously influence right cardiac after load and systolic function/diastolic function. No evidet changes detected in Tei pre-and post-operatively. However, the indexes (PAMP, RVSP and PEP/ET ratio) reflecting right cardiac afterload evidently increased at post-pneumonectomy or lobectomy group5- 7 days post-opera- tive. All these reflect the decrease of Tei, which was more obvious in pneumonectomy than in lobectomy group. Right cardiac after- load, systolic/diastolic function and Tel index recovered to pre-operative level 1 month post-operation in single lobectomy group. But the above indicators, especially the Tel, were still high in double lobectomy and pmeunonectomy groups 1 morth post-operation.Tei index is positively correlated with PAMP and is weakly correlated with PET/ET ratio and Ea/Aa ratio. Conclusion Pulmonary wedge resection doesn't evidently influence right cardiac function. However, right cardiac diastolic function evidently decreases temporarily at lobectomy group. The systolic function and diastolic funetions decrease after double-lobectomy and pneumonectomy and it's more evident in pneumonectomy group. Though the right cardiac afterloads of lobectomy, double lobectomy and pneumonectomy groupa all increase significantly post-operativlye, only the former recover to pre-operative level 1 month after surgery.

Biomechanics

Therapeutic agents used to treat osteoporosis reduce the incidence of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in osteoporotic women. The antiremodeling agents, such as the bisphosphonates, prevent bone loss by suppressing the remodeling rate, perhaps increasing bone volume slightly, and increasing mineralization of the tissue. The anabolic agents, of which rhPTH(1–34) is the only one approved, accomplish this in a manner that is almost completely the opposite in terms of biological process. rhPTH(1–34) causes net bone gain by stimulating both modeling and remodeling, by increasing bone volume significantly through direct bone apposition to trabecular and endocortical surfaces, and by reducing the mean degree of tissue mineralization (a natural consequence of enhanced remodeling). Each of these treatments maintains or increases bone strength and is similarly effective at preventing fractures. However, because of their different mode of action, each has different consequences for bone matrix quality (defined here by microdamage accumulation and by the properties of mineral and collagen) and the mechanical properties of the tissue. Although bone's composite nature makes it a relatively tough material—more like fiberglass than glass—the accumulation of damage will nevertheless reduce its residual mechanical properties until the damage is repaired through remodeling. Agents that suppress remodeling are associated with both microdamage accumulation and increased mineralization. The biological importance of damage and mineralization to bone's mechanical properties is still a source of debate.     

A novel mutation in the last exon of ATRX in a patient with α-thalassemia myelodysplastic syndrome

Abstract:  We describe a patient with acquired alpha-thalassemia myelodysplastic syndrome (ATMDS). A previously healthy 66-year-old man presented with hemoglobin of 9.3 g/dL, mean corpuscular volume 59 fL, and a bone marrow aspirate with increased erythroid precursors and hypolobulated megakaryocytes. Hemoglobin H inclusions were seen in most red cells after 1% brilliant cresyl blue supravital stain of the peripheral blood. At the molecular level, we identified of a novel mutation in the most 3' exon of the ATRX gene ( C GA→ T GA substitution in codon 2407) resulting in a premature termination codon (p.R2407X). This case provides further evidence for a link between ATRX mutations and ATMDS, and suggests a possible role for the conserved Q-box element in ATRX function.     

Endoscopic observation of pathophysiology of ventricular diverticulum

Background Although there have been reports dealing with ventricular diverticulum (VD) analyzed by cisternography and computed tomography (CT), those focusing on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or neuroendoscopic findings are rare. Case report We present a case of noncommunicating hydrocephalus caused by aqueductal stenosis with cystic lesion located in supracerebellar region. Third ventriculostomy was performed on this case. The conventional CT and MRI were compatible with usual VD, but neuroendoscopic examination suggested otherwise. The endoscopic view inside of the cystic lesion demonstrated passing veins and no membrane. We diagnosed this cystic lesion as a unique subtype of advanced VD mimicking spontaneous ventriculostomy. Endoscopic observation of the cyst was very useful for accurate diagnosis and safe treatment.
