Statistical clues to postoperative blood loss: Moving averages applied to medical data

With the advent of computerized databases, medical data has become easy to accumulate; however, effective use of this data continues to pose significant problems. In other circumstances, smoothing algorithms have been used to uncover non-obvious correlations, trends and relationships in noisy data. We have applied four such algorithms to a large dataset of postoperative blood replacement in cardiopulmonary bypass patients. When applied to this dataset, one of the algorithms proved surprisingly effective. It confirmed several previously observed correlations, and also provided an additional series of counterintuitive and apparently unrelated associations. These associations have been explored in an accompanying paper.

螺旋藻多糖对人宫颈癌Hela细胞体外生长的影响

目的：探讨螺旋藻多糖（PSP）对体外培养的Hela细胞生长的影响。方法：采用MTT法测定 PSP的抗肿瘤活性，并观察其对Hela细胞形态学的影响。结果：随PSP浓度的升高，Hela细胞存活率逐渐降低，抑制率逐渐增加；光镜下观察显示，PSP作用24-48h后，细胞出现明显的形态学改变。结论：PSP能抑制Hela细胞增殖。     

Development of cranial flexure and Rathke's pouch in the chick embryo

Experiments were done to investigate the cause of the cranial (mesencephalic) flexure of the chick brain during stages 10 to 14. Measurements of the length and thickness of the roof and floor of the mesencephalon gave values similar to the values obtained previously by others. The labeling index was determined in the roof and floor of the prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon as a preliminary measure of cell division. The labeling index was about the same in all regions, and was high enough to suggest that most of the cells were dividing. The labeling indices did not suggest that differential growth was caused by differential rates of cell division in the roof and floor of the mesencephalon. It was found through time lapse photography that the foregut and heart remained stationary along the rostrocaudal axis, whereas the prosencephalon moved rostrally and the mesencephalon underwent flexure. Measurements suggested that the neural tube cranial to the otic primordium grew in volume exponentially at a rate consistent with the labeling index. The rostral tip of the neural tube was observed to be linked to the rostral tip of the foregut by the ectoderm that formed Rathke's pouch at the neural tube and the pharyngeal membrane (prospective stomodeum) at the foregut. As the neural tube grew in length, the link between the neural tube and the foregut did not. We suggest that because of this link, the growing neural tube had to bend around the foregut, forming the cranial flexure, and the ectoderm folded where it attached to the prosencephalon, forming Rathke's pouch. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

测胎儿器官重量探讨其生长发育规律

根据1022例新鲜胎尸的不同受精龄与体重，十项重要器官（心、肝、脾、左右肺、左右肾、左右肾上腺、胸腺等）的重量进行测量，将所测得的原始数据输入到IBM-PC/XT微型计算机内进行数据处理。探讨胎儿生长发育的基本规律。结果：（1）建立了胎儿体重与胎龄之间的推算式；（2）建立了胎儿各重要器官重量与胎龄之间的推算式；（3）建立了胎儿体重每月平均增长量与胎龄之间的推算式；（4）按胎儿体重每月平均增长量，用有序聚类分析方法，将胎儿生长发育过程划分为三个阶段。     

Cdh1小干扰RNA载体的构建及鉴定

目的:构建Cdh1小干扰RNA载体,并将其转染至Hela细胞进行鉴定.方法:根据pENTRTM/H1/TO中间载体要求,设计Cdh1小干扰RNA载体的干扰序列及无干扰作用的对照序列,合成相应的DNA单链,退火后连接到pENTRTM/H1/TO线性载体,形成完整载体,进行测序鉴定.分别将测序鉴定成功的Cdh1小干扰RNA载体及对照载体采用脂质体法转染Hela细胞,转染后48 h提取细胞总RNA及细胞总蛋白,采用实时定量PCR和Western Blot检测Cdh1的表达.结果:经测序鉴定成功构建Cdh1小干扰RNA载体和对照载体,分别命名为pENTR/shCdh1和pENTR/shcontrol.与未转染及转染pENTR/shcontrol的Hela细胞相比,转染pENTR/shCdh1的Hela细胞Cdh1表达降低(P《0.05).结论:成功构建Cdh1小干扰RNA载体,并能下调Hela细胞Cdh1的表达.
