EFFECTS OF A STRESSFUL PRESLEEP EXPERIENCE ON ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHRECORDED SLEEP

The effects on experimentally uninterrupted sleep of two films, one psychologically stressful and the other neutral, both seen just before bed, were studied in 12 male Ss on 2 nights according to a balanced design. EEG and electro-ocu-logram recordings were made of the first 6 hours of sleep. The stress film significantly increased the number of awakenings associated with rapid eye-movement periods (REMPs), but not that of non-REM sleep awakenings, as well as the proportion of REMPs terminated by spontaneous awakenings. It furthermore increased the frequency of REMs (REM density) during REMPs. These results suggest that the stress film produced a specific REM sleep disturbing effect via anxiety which carried over into the Ss’ sleep and dreams, and that it increased REM density secondary to drive enhancement.     

Coralline hydroxyapatite bone graft substitutes: preliminary report of radiographic evaluation

A new bone graft substitute made by conversion of the calcium carbonate exoskeleton of reef-building sea coral into hydroxyapatite has recently become clinically available. The normal radiographic appearance of two forms of this material is described. In the immediate postoperative period, the exoskeletal architecture of these implants is readily appreciated. With graft incorporation over the ensuing months, their intrinsic structure is gradually lost in association with poor marginal definition. Evolving radiographic findings reflect the biocompatible nature of these implants, which provides the potential for ingrowth of native bone with preservation of the coralline scaffold, resulting in enhanced biomechanical properties.

Myocardial infarct size quantification by MR imaging early after coronary artery occlusion in dogs

The feasibility of using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to estimate myocardial infarct size was explored in an in vitro model using only the inherent differences in contrast between infarcted and noninfarcted myocardium. Eight dogs underwent coronary occlusion; their hearts were removed 6 hours later. Estimates of T2 for normal and infarcted myocardium were derived from MR images. Infarct size was quantified anatomically using triphenyltetrazolium-chloride (TTC) staining and compared with MR estimates. The T2 values derived from the images clearly discriminated between infarcted (126 +/- 22 msec) and normal myocardium (88 +/- 10 msec, P less than .05), providing images with good contrast between normal and infarcted myocardium. Comparable differences in T2 values were also noted from spectrometric determinations. Estimates of infarct size by MR imaging compared well with TTC estimates (r = 0.98) over a wide range of infarct sizes from 3% to 29% of the left ventricular mass. These results suggest the potential for in vivo quantification of infarct size based on the inherent contrast difference between infarcted and normal myocardium.     

急性失代偿性心力衰竭患者血清肌钙蛋白T水平检测的价值

目的：研究肌钙蛋白T的水平变化在急性失代偿性心力衰竭患者预后的价值。方法：选取急诊重症监护室收治的68例急性失代偿性心力衰竭患者,按照cTnT的水平分为cTnT阳性组（27例）和cTnT阴性组（41例）。观察两组患者室性期前收缩发生率、APACHEⅡ评分、在ICU入住时间、住院时间、住院病死率、随访出院后6个月内再入院率及6个月死亡率。结果：两组治疗期间利尿剂、扩血管药物使用、多巴胺和（或）多巴酚丁胺的使用和两组患者6个月随访期间死亡率比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。入院时APACHEⅡ评分、在ICU入住时间、住院时间、住院病死率及出院后6个月内再入院率比较均显示差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论：肌钙蛋白T水平是与治疗无关的危险因素之一。伴有肌钙蛋白T升高的急性失代偿性心力衰竭患者有较高的室性期前收缩发生率、较长的住院时间、短期预后差,监测cTnT水平对急性失代偿性心力衰竭患者的病情评估和短期预后有重要作用。

Antifibrotic therapy for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Fibroproliferative lung disease is prevalent and associated with high mortality. The pathogenesis of fibrotic lung disease involves inflammation, mesenchymal cell proliferation, and deposition of interstitial matrix components, such as collagen and fibronectin. Corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive medications have been routinely employed, but have demonstrated only marginal efficacy. Even though this information has been known for some time, the optimal medical regimen for treating pulmonary fibrosis remains largely undefined. This article addresses the rationale for, and efficacy of, antifibrotic regimens used to treat humans with fibrotic lung diseases.     

Decellularized dermis in combination with cultivated keratinocytes in a short- and long-term animal experimental investigation

Decellularized human dermis as a potentially ideal scaffold for dermal substitution in severe burns was examined in a two‐staged animal experiment. In an initial step, an in vitro generated composite graft consisting of human keratinocytes and decellularized dermis (AlloDerm®) was transplanted onto nude mice in a short‐term trial (n = 20, 14 days). Subsequently, a combined one‐step grafting of full thickness wounds with both decellularized dermis (in part preincubated with fibroblasts) and cultivated autologous keratinocytes as a cell suspension in fibrin glue was done in a long‐term porcine animal model (n = 10, 6 months). In both series, macroscopic wound healing was evaluated by planimetry. Histological investigations included morphological as well as immunohistochemical parameters. The short‐term study showed both successful integration of the composite grafts and reduction of wound contraction compared with the control group (epithelial grafts). The long‐term porcine study displayed reduced myofibroblast formation and contraction in the wounds that had been treated with fibroblast‐preincubated dermis. After 4 weeks, a decline of the structural integrity of the dermal matrix could be noticed. The utility of decellularized dermis as template for both dermal reconstitution and keratinocyte delivery vehicle was shown. The closure of full thickness wounds by a single‐step combination of an autologous keratinocyte fibrin sealant suspension and acellular dermis in a pig animal model could be shown. Incorporation of fibroblasts led to reduced wound contraction but could not prevent the loss of dermal integrity. The engineered ‘skin’ remained viable and stable over a period of 6 months.
