纤维连接蛋白对生物矿化影响的体外实验研究

目的:探讨纤维连接蛋白(Fn)对生物矿化过程的影响,为其应用于临床作盖髓剂提供理论依据.方法:应用体外凝胶矿化系统结合微观形态学观察,研究有无羟基磷灰石(HAP)晶核时Fn对钙磷沉积的影响.结果:凝胶体系中随Fn浓度升高,吸光度值也升高(P<0.01),表明磷酸钙沉淀量的增多;加入HAP并不降低Fn的促沉积活性.结论:Fn可能通过促进钙磷沉积及其与HAP的相互作用参与矿化过程,此特性可能有利于Fn作为盖髓剂成份诱导牙本质桥形成.     

Computed tomographic findings in cerebral toxoplasmosis in adults

The clinical and computerized tomographic (CT) findings in 10 patients with cerebral toxoplasmosis are reviewed. All patients with cerebral toxoplasmosis were homosexuals and/or intravenous drug users, and all patients had other manifestations of AIDS. Two presented with focal seizures, 4 presented with focal neurological deficit which progressively worsened, and 4 had evidence of diffuse neurological dysfunction (altered consciousness, generalized seizures). CT showed a single lesion in 3 patients and multiple lesions in 7 patients. Two patients had hypodense nonenhancing lesions(s). Eight patients had hypodense lesions with peripheral or nodular enhancement. The lesions were more commonly located in the cerebral hemispheres and subcortical gray matter nuclear masses (thalamus, basal ganglia). The finding of a hypodense lesion with a central slightly hyperdense noncalcified region that showed dense nodular homogeneous enhancement was quite characteristic of cerebral toxoplasmosis, but this pattern may also be seen in other neurological conditions including brain lymphomas.     

Greenberg dysplasia (hydrops–ectopic calcification–moth‐eaten skeletal dysplasia): Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis and review of literature

A second pregnancy of young, nonconsanguineous parents of Macedonian ethnic origin was examined by ultrasound. Polyhydramnios and hydrops fetalis were found as well as severe short limb, short stature, and cystic hygroma of the neck. An artificial abortion was performed at the age of 23 weeks. The radiological features included moth‐eaten severely shortened long bones and ectopic calcifications of long bones, vertebral column, ribs, pelvis, larynx, trachea. In addition, the fetus had large head with depressed nasal bridge, severe platyspondyly, and short barrel‐shaped trunk. Light microscopy demonstrated lack of chondrocyte columns and disorganization of the cartilaginous architecture. This is the seventh reported case of this rare form of lethal skeletal dysplasia. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

家族性特发性基底节钙化

家族性特发性基底节钙化（familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification，FIBGC）是一种以影像学上有基底节及脑其他部位钙化为特征的神经系统变性疾病。大多数患在童年及青少年时期是健康的，而到了30-50岁时，典型患会逐渐出现神经精神以及运动障碍。首发症状通常包括动作笨拙、易疲劳、步态不稳、言语缓慢、吞咽困难、不自主运动、肌肉痉挛等，经常会有各种类型的癫痫发作。神经精神症状往往是首发或最突出的表现，轻仅仅为轻度注意力或记忆力的下降，重则会出现人格及行为改变，终致精神病或痴呆。[第一段]     

群集钙化对鉴别乳腺良恶性病变的意义

目的评价乳腺钼靶片群集钙化对鉴别乳腺良恶性病变的意义。方法分析76例乳腺X线钼靶片群集钙化病例,全部经手术病理证实,其中,乳腺恶性病变52例,良性病变24例。采用下列4项指标分析上述76例群集钙化的特征并进行良恶性对照研究:a)病灶钙化总数;b)每平方厘米钙化数目(N/S);c)钙化灶的大小、形态;d)钙化灶合并肿块。结果76例群集钙化病例中钙化总数大于30个、N/S大于等于10个、钙化灶大小形态不一致、钙化合并肿块,这4项指标诊断恶性钙化的特异性和敏感性分别为83.3%和69.2%,79.2%和76.9%,62.5%和92.3%,62.5%和53.8%。结论N/S大于等于10个、钙化总数大于30个及钙化灶大小、形态不一致这3个特征对恶性钙化最具有诊断价值。     

Uptake of technetium 99m MDP by hepatoblastoma

Focal uptake of ^99mTc-MDP was seen in a case of hepatoblastoma. The focal uptake corresponded to an area of calcification on CT, which was shown histologically to consist of osteoid with mineralization. The mechanism of uptake by the tumor in this case is likely to be the same as for skeletal uptake.     

MRI demonstration and CT correlation of the brain in patients with idiopathic intracerebral calcification

Twenty-two patients aged 36–63 years were diagnosed as having Fahr's syndrome on the basis of the presence on CT of unexpected extensive calcification of the basal ganglia. Even when associated with calcification of other brain areas, the main diagnostic criterion remained basal ganglia calcification larger than 800 mm². Normal values of parathormone, serum calcium and phosphorus excluded hypercalcaemia and hypoparathyroidism. Mitochondrial CNS disease was excluded clinically. MRI and repeated CT and neurological examination were performed in all of the patients. The patients were divided into two groups: neurologically asymptomatic (group 1) and neurologically symptomatic (group 2). T2-weighted sequences demonstrated hyperintense areas in all of the patients involving the white and the grey matter of the brain. In group 1 the hyperintense lesions were significantly smaller than in group 2. The neurological symptoms correlated better with the hyperintensities on T2-weighted MR images than with the calcification demonstrated on CT. Hyperintensities in T2-weighted MRI and the areas shown by CT to have calcification had different locations. In 15 patients with dementia, the white matter of the entire centrum semiovale was bilaterally hyperintense. In another 3 patients with hemiparesis, hyperintense areas in the internal capsule, contralateral to the side of hemiparesis, were demonstrated in the T2-weighted sequence. The hyperintense T2 signals may reflect a slowly progressive, metabolic or inflammatory process in the brain which subsequently calcifies and are probably responsible for the neurological deficit observed.     

彩色多普勒超声图指导风湿性心脏病二尖瓣狭窄球囊扩张术91例

目的：应用彩色多普勒超声心动图指导经皮二尖瓣球囊成形术(PBMV)治疗风湿性二尖瓣狭窄的价值、方法：运用彩超对行PBMV的患进行术前术后检查，观察二尖瓣钙化程度及部位、开口形状、瓣口面积、二尖瓣返流(MR)程度、瓣下病变、左房左室大小、左房有无血栓．结果：91例PBMV术后患中，术后MR72例，其中MR新出现19例，MR加重8例、与术前对比，术后二尖瓣开放幅度、二尖瓣口面积、二尖瓣跨瓣压、二尖瓣压差半降时间较术前有明显改善趋势，左房内径、肺动脉内径较术前有缩小趋势．同时，术后左房压、右室压及肺动脉压也有下降趋势。结论：彩超能明确PBMV治疗二尖瓣狭窄的效果。影响：PBMV效果的因素较多，但二尖瓣钙化的程度、部位和瓣膜形态较为重要。     

双能量胸部DR对筛查冠状动脉钙化的意义:与多排螺旋CT的比较性研究

目的探讨胸部双能量DR骨骼像在筛查冠脉钙化中的意义。方法35例患者分别行右前斜位胸部双能量DR检查及多排螺旋CT(MDCT)冠状动脉扫描并记录照射后射线的体表入射剂量ESD(mGy)。2位高年资放射科医师及2位低年资医师分析双能量胸片骨骼像,对LAD、LCX、RCA共105条血管的钙化情况进行评估。CT扫描图像进行钙化积分分析。以钙化积分>300为金标准,对双能量DR的结果进行ROC分析。结果DR胸片平均阳性率27.6%(29/105),其中LAD阳性率48.5%(17/35);LCX22.8%(8/35);RCA 11.4%(4/35)。4位医师的ROC结果显示曲线下面积分别为0.866、0.854、0.725、0.642。胸部DR照射平均体表入射剂量为(0.469±0.22)mGy;多排CT入射剂量为(12.29±1.40)mGy。两者经配对t检验有显著差异。结论DR骨骼片可以检出较明显的冠状动脉钙化,对冠心病的筛查和病情的检测有一定的临床意义。
