脾阳虚、肾阳虚亚健康状态人群的面诊图像特征分析研究＊

目的 研究脾阳虚、肾阳虚亚健康状态人群的面象特征，探讨面象特征在中医亚健康状态辨识中的诊断价值。方法 使用便携式中医智能镜采集体检人群面象样本，最终纳入脾阳虚亚健康者1450例、肾阳虚亚健康者1666例、健康者1844例，采用图像分析技术分析比较3组人群的面色、唇色等面象特征参数之间的差异。结果 肾阳虚人群的面色L值 > 脾阳虚人群（P < 0.05），肾阳虚人群的面色a、b值 < 脾阳虚人群（P < 0.05）；肾阳虚人群的唇色L值 > 脾阳虚人群 > 健康人群（P < 0.05），肾阳虚人群的唇色a、b值与脾阳虚人群无明显差异；脾阳虚、肾阳虚亚健康状态人群面部光泽度较健康人群均降低（P < 0.05）。结论 面诊图像特征可作为脾阳虚、肾阳虚亚健康人群的判别标准之一，为中医体质辨识提供了重要的面诊参数量化指标，为不同体质人群的健康状态评价及疾病的预防提供有效依据。     

酸枣仁汤治疗原发性肝癌患者肝血不足型失眠的临床研究

目的观察酸枣仁汤治疗原发性肝癌患者肝血不足型失眠的临床疗效及其对神经-内分泌-免疫网络的调节作用。方法将70例原发性肝癌伴肝血不足型失眠患者随机分为治疗组与对照组,每组35例。两组均以常规中西医结合治疗原发性肝癌为基础,治疗组给予酸枣仁汤颗粒剂,对照组给予安慰剂,连续28 d。比较匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)量表评分、中医证候评分、血红蛋白(Hb)、血小板(PLT)、前白蛋白(PAB)、血清5-羟色胺(5-HT)、褪黑素(MT)、白介素-2受体(IL-2R)、白介素-6(IL-6)、白介素-8(IL-8)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的变化情况。结果 (1)治疗组总有效率88.2%,对照组总有效率27.3%,治疗组疗效优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);(2)治疗组治疗后PSQI总分及各成分评分、中医证候评分较对照组及治疗前显著降低(P0.05),各评分治疗前后差值大于对照组(P0.05);(3)治疗组治疗后血清5-HT、MT含量较对照组及治疗前显著升高(P0.05),治疗组血清IL-2R、IL-8、TNF-α含量较对照组及治疗前显著降低(P0.05),以上指标治疗前后差值均大于对照组(P0.05),治疗组治疗后血清IL-6含量与对照组及治疗前比较,差异无统计学意义(P0.05),治疗前后差值与对照组比较无显著差异(P0.05);(4)治疗组治疗后Hb、PAB较对照组及治疗前显著升高(P0.05),治疗前后差值大于对照组(P0.05)。结论酸枣仁汤可有效改善原发性肝癌伴肝血不足型失眠患者的睡眠情况、营养水平以及肝血不足的症状,能提高患者血清5-HT、MT含量,降低血清IL-2R、IL-8、TNF-α含量,调节神经-内分泌-免疫网络,改善肝癌患者体内炎症环境,提示安神以扶正在恶性肿瘤虚证中具有辅助治疗作用。     

Investigation of factors associated with ABCB5-positive limbal stem cell isolation yields from human donors

PurposeTo identify factors associated with isolation yields of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily member B5 (ABCB5)-positive limbal stem cells (LSCs) from human cadaveric donor eyes.MethodsWhole eye globes were obtained from the Saving Sight eye bank, Kansas City, MO and the CorneaGen eye bank, Seattle, WA. ABCB5-positive LSCs were sorted by flow cytometry upon anti-ABCB5 monoclonal antibody staining within one week after donor death. The yields of live limbal epithelial cells in their entirety and of isolated pure ABCB5-positive LSC subsets were correlated with variables contained in the eye donors’ medical information.ResultsThe mean isolation yield of live limbal epithelial cells and ABCB5-positive LSCs per donor eye was (340,000 ± 160,000 and 2,608 ± 1,842 respectively, mean ± SD). Stepwise regression analysis showed that cardiac disease-related death was the strongest negative predictor of the ABCB5-positive LSC isolation yield (p = 0.01). While we observed a trend for an age-related decline in the yield of ABCB5-positive LSCs, a statistically significant association could not be established (2% decrease/year, p = 0.11). Additionally, despite a trend for decreased isolation yields of total live limbal epithelial cells isolated from single donors with a longer time between death and tissue processing (p = 0.04), this did not affect the yields of purified ABCB5-positive LSC, which was independent of increasing time between death and tissue processing (p = 0.50).ConclusionsOur study identifies cardiac disease-related death as a donor variable significantly associated with lower ABCB5-positive LSC isolation yields.

基于“凡土脏取决于胆”议从胆论治阿尔茨海默病

阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer’s Disease,AD)归属于中医"痴呆""呆病""健忘"等范畴,历代医家认为此病多以肾精失养,髓海空虚为主要病机,治疗多从脾、肾两脏着手,鲜有提及从胆论治。从中医学"凡土脏取决于胆"理论切入,以土脏与AD发病的关系为着眼点,并结合胆内藏精汁,助脾胃腐熟运化水谷;胆主升清降浊,疏利中土;胆内寄相火,参与腐熟水谷的生理功能和特性,阐述从胆论治AD的理论基础,以期为中医临床更加有效的防治阿尔茨海默病提供参考。     

52例结肠炎性息肉患者的中医证型分布规律

Growth hormone deficiency and pituitary malformation in a recurrent Cat-Eye syndrome: A family report

Growth hormone deficiency affects roughly between one in 3000 and one in 4000 children with most instances of growth hormone deficiency being idiopathic. Growth hormone deficiency can also be associated with genetic diseases or chromosome abnormalities. Association of growth hormone deficiency together with hypothalamic–pituitary axis malformation and Cat-Eye syndrome is a very rare condition. We report a family with two brothers presenting with growth delay due to a growth hormone deficiency associated with a polymalformation syndrome. They both displayed pre-auricular pits and tags, imperforate anus and Duane retraction syndrome. Both parents and a third unaffected son displayed normal growth pattern. Cerebral MRI showed a hypothalamic–pituitary axis malformation in the two affected brothers. Cytogenetic studies revealed a type I small supernumerary marker chromosome derived from chromosome 22 resulting in a tetrasomy 22pter-22q11.21 characteristic of the Cat-Eye syndrome. The small supernumerary marker chromosome was present in the two affected sons and the mother in a mosaic state. Patients with short stature due to growth hormone deficiency should be evaluated for chromosomal abnormality. Family study should not be underestimated.
