Dual-Energy Computed Tomography as an Adjunct in the Evaluation of Peripheral Chronic Total Occlusions: A Feasibility Study

This study investigated the role of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) for lesion characterization in patients with peripheral arterial disease manifesting with chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Forty-one symptomatic patients with CTOs underwent dual-energy CT angiography before endovascular treatment. The lesions were subsequently analyzed in a dedicated workstation, and 2 indexes—dual-energy index (DEI) and effective Z (Z_eff)—were calculated, ranging from 0.0027 to 0.321 and from 6.89 to 13.02, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between the DEI and Z_eff values (P < .001). The interobserver intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.91 for the mean Z_eff values and 0.86 for the mean DEI values. This technique could potentially provide useful information regarding the composition of a CTO.     

布地奈德联合阿奇霉素治疗肺炎支原体肺炎

目的探讨布地奈德联合阿奇霉素治疗肺炎支原体肺炎。方法选取我院在2018年12月—2020年5月确诊并治疗的98例支原体肺炎患儿,依据不同治疗方式分成两组,两组均接受常规治疗,对照组应用阿奇霉素,研究组联合应用布地奈德。观察两组的治疗有效率水平差异;两组的康复指标:体温恢复正常耗时、缓解咳嗽气喘耗时、啰音消失耗时水平差异。结果研究组有效率水平比对照组高(P<0.05)。研究组的康复指标:体温恢复正常耗时、缓解咳嗽气喘耗时、啰音消失耗时均优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论给予支原体肺炎患儿在常规治疗基础上联合使用阿奇霉素+布地奈德,可显著提高患儿的治疗效果,缩短患儿的康复时间。     

HIV infection after prenatal screening: an open window leading to perinatal infection

Despite a dramatic decrease in vertical transmission of HIV in the developed world, maternal HIV infection acquired after negative prenatal screening still leaves a window of vulnerability. Through quality assurance programs in two Canadian Provinces, five cases where perinatal HIV transmission occurred despite negative prenatal screening were identified between 2005 and 2015. Maternal risk factors such as intravenous drug use, high–risk sexual behavior, hepatitis C virus co–infection, and belonging to high prevalence minority groups were common. Two mothers had their negative HIV test performed in the first trimester and three mothers had negative testing in the third trimester. All babies were clinically healthy at delivery with a normal weight. Three babies were tested following subsequent identification of maternal HIV infection and two babies presented with opportunistic infections leading to their diagnoses. The characteristics of these cases suggest that to achieve complete elimination of vertical HIV transmission, selective and innovative clinical management of mothers at high risk for HIV may be required.     

如何根据特异性IgM和IgG评价新型冠状病毒宫内垂直传播

新型冠状病毒能否通过宫内垂直传播感染胎儿是关注的焦点,而如何正确评价新型冠状病毒是否存在宫内垂直传播,更是问题的关键所在。病毒学和血清学证据对诊断病毒宫内垂直传播都有价值。单纯将血清学结果用于确定新型冠状病毒宫内传播时,应至少对新生儿随访3~6个月,动态观察IgM和IgG滴度变化,同时随访其母亲,与母亲特异性抗体的滴度进行比较。     

小剂量异维A酸联合2%超分子水杨酸治疗中重度痤疮疗效观察

目的:探讨口服小剂量异维A酸联合外用2%超分子水杨酸治疗中重度痤疮的临床疗效。方法:共选取74例中重度痤疮患者作为研究对象,口服小剂量异维A酸10mg,1次/d。治疗组:37例,联合外用2%新型超分子水杨酸治疗;对照组:37例,联合外用夫西地酸乳膏及阿达帕林凝胶治疗。对两组患者治疗前后的皮损数量变化及治疗效果进行对比分析。结果:经过8周的治疗,两组研究对象的总皮损数量较治疗前均显著减少(P<0.05),且治疗组与对照组比较,无明显差异(P>0.05)。针对不同类型的皮损,治疗组对粉刺的疗效比对照组更具优势,对丘疹与结节的疗效无明显差异。结论:治疗中重度痤疮,小剂量异维A酸联合外用2%超分子水杨酸临床疗效较好,副作用小,可作为痤疮治疗的新选择。     

2型糖尿病中个性化综合饮食护理的应用效果

目的观察2型糖尿病患者中个性化综合饮食护理的应用效果。方法选择本院2018年1月—2018年12月接收的80例2型糖尿病患者实施此次研究,根据随机数字表法分为观察组(40例)和对照组(40例)。观察组使用个性化综合饮食护理,对照组使用常规护理措施,比较两组患者临床效果。结果观察组依从性为95.00%,对照组为80.00%(P<0.05)。两组护理前餐后2 h后血糖含量、糖化血红蛋白水平及空腹血糖含量比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。观察组护理后餐后2 h后血糖含量、糖化血红蛋白水平及空腹血糖含量均低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论将个性化综合饮食护理用于2型糖尿病患者治疗中。     

从“湿疫”论治新型冠状病毒肺炎的思考

本文基于中医经典文献及临床实践思考,立足于"湿疫"理论阐释新型冠状病毒肺炎(简称"新冠肺炎")的病因、病机、传变规律及治疗方药。认为新冠肺炎乃湿毒疫邪所致,其病机特点为内外病邪相引,合而致病;本病除遵循卫、气、营、血传变规律外,同时也表现出三焦传变的过程。同时,通过归纳梳理相关中医经典著作中关于湿疫的证治方药,为新冠肺炎的中医诊治提供临床思路。     

基于药动学与药效学相关联的养阴通脑颗粒主要有效部位正交配伍研究

目的探讨养阴通脑颗粒主要有效部位(总生物碱、总黄酮、总皂苷、总酚酸)配伍后在脑缺血再灌注模型大鼠体内药物浓度及其药动学与药效学变化。方法采用正交试验法组成上述主要有效部位用量配比不同的9个组方,供脑缺血再灌注模型大鼠ig给药,高效液相色谱-二极管阵列检测器(HPLC-DAD)测定不同时间点血浆中的葛根素、阿魏酸和川芎嗪血浆药物浓度。DAS 3.2.6软件以非房室模型拟合药动学参数,并运用总量统计矩法和综合评分法对整体药动学特征进行评价。同时采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法测定大鼠血浆中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的含量。最后进行药动学-药效学(PK-PD)模型研究,获得各药物浓度与药效之间的定量方程。结果葛根素、阿魏酸和川芎嗪在模型大鼠体内的药动学特征有所差异。总量统计矩和综合评分研究表明不同配伍对总量零阶矩、总量平均滞留时间、综合评分等参数影响不一。主要有效部位正交配伍给药后,一定程度上会抑制脑缺血再灌注大鼠血浆中SOD和CAT的降低。各PK-PD模型均采用Sigmoid-Emax模型,拟合结果与实测数据之间相关性良好,R值均大于0.85。结论养阴通脑颗粒主要有效部位配伍对模型大鼠体内的药动学行为和抗氧化指标具有一定影响;中药复方多成分药物代谢动力学可采用总量统计矩和综合评分法进行研究;PK-PD结合模型可用于中药复方多成分药动学与药效学之间相关性的评价与预测。
