二维血流显像技术与彩色多普勒在颈动脉疾病诊断中的应用比较

目的比较二维血流显像技术（B-Flow）与彩色多普勒血流显像（CDFI）和能量多普勒（PDI）在颈动脉疾病诊断中的应用价值。方法对160例颈动脉疾病患者分别进行CDFI、PDI及B-Flow技术检查,对比分析。其中41例患者进行了数字减影血管造影（DSA）检查。结果B-Flow技术是一种新型血管疾病影像学检查方法,具有更高帧频、高分辨率和全景显像功能,能同时显示血流和背景组织结构,B-Flow与CDFI、PDI结合使用,可提高异常图像显示率;对于颈动脉狭窄和闭塞的判断与DSA结果比较,B-Flow技术与DSA相关性明显高于后两者。结论B-Flow显像技术较CDFI及PDI显像在颈动脉疾病中的应用范围更广,可以弥补CDFI、PDI显像上的不足。     

Lymph node non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidentally discovered during a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma

We report the case of a left laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with the incidental discovery of a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in one of the lymph nodes of the renal hilum. A laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was decided on for a 64-year-old man. Renal cell carcinoma in the kidney and one lymph node of the renal hilum with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was found. Chemotherapy was not started for the lymphoma discovery. There are no signs of relapse after two years of follow up. Coexistence in the same patient is an extremely rare condition. We review the literature about this issue to clarify this association.     

氯胺酮对人肺癌A549细胞生长的影响及相关机制研究

目的:探讨麻醉类药物氯胺酮和吗啡对人肺癌A549细胞生长的影响及相关作用机制?方法:体外培养肺癌细胞系A549,细胞培养24 h后,随机分为3组:对照组(NC组,加0.9% NaCl处理)?氯胺酮组(K1?K2?K3组,分别加氯胺酮100?200?400 ?滋g/mL处理)和吗啡组(M1?M2?M3组,分别加吗啡25?50?100 ?滋g/mL处理)?持续作用24 h后,Transwell小室培养体系测定肿瘤细胞的迁移率;双荧光素酶报告基因法测定NF-κB转录活性;48 h后MTT法测定细胞增殖抑制率;Western blot技术测定NF-κB P65的蛋白表达;QPCR技术检测细胞内IL-1β和COX-2的mRNA表达?结果:①与NC组比较,M1?M2组表现为促进A549细胞迁移(P < 0.05),M3组作用不明显;K1?K2?K3组表现为抑制A549细胞迁移(P < 0.05);②与NC组比较,M1?M2组表现为促进A549细胞增殖(P < 0.05),M3组作用不明显;K2?K3组表现为抑制A549细胞增殖(P < 0.05),K1组不明显;③与NC组比较,M1?M2?M3组表现为促进IL-1β?COX-2的mRNA表达(P < 0.05);K2?K3组表现为抑制IL-1β?COX-2的mRNA表达(P < 0.05),K1组不明显;④与NC组比较,M1?M2?M3组表现为促进P65的转录和蛋白表达(P < 0.05),K1?K2?K3组表现为抑制P65的转录和蛋白表达(P < 0.05)?结论:与阿片类药物不同,氯胺酮通过NF-κB信号通路及其下游因子IL-1β和COX-2抑制人肺腺癌细胞A549的迁移和增殖,可能更适用于肺癌患者的术后镇痛?     

Clinical Evaluation of Intravitreal Injection of Ganciclovir in Refractory Corneal Endotheliitis

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ganciclovir (GCV) injection in refractory endotheliitis.

Methods: Retrospectively recruited 25 eyes with endotheliitis, proved by clinical manifestations, positive PCR for viral DNA and responded poor to topical and systemic antiviral medications. All patients received additional continued intravitreal GCV injections.

Results: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA were detected in 64.0%, 28.0%, and 8.0% of the eyes, respectively. Within 2 weeks after the last injection, 16/25 eyes recovered corneal clarity; active keratic precipitates (KPs) were eliminated in 21/25 eyes; intraocular pressure (IOP) was controlled in 12/15 eyes with elevated IOP on study entry. Best-corrected visual acuity increased at the last follow-up (p = 0.016). Clinical recurrence occurred in three patients. No complications were detected.

Conclusions: CMV endotheliitis was the main type of refractory endotheliitis. Despite its invasive nature, intravitreal GCV injection appears to be an effective method for refractory endotheliitis.

Transformation of standardized clinical models based on OWL technologies: from CEM to OpenEHR archetypes

Introduction The semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) systems is a major challenge in the medical informatics area. International initiatives pursue the use of semantically interoperable clinical models, and ontologies have frequently been used in semantic interoperability efforts. The objective of this paper is to propose a generic, ontology-based, flexible approach for supporting the automatic transformation of clinical models, which is illustrated for the transformation of Clinical Element Models (CEMs) into openEHR archetypes.Methods Our transformation method exploits the fact that the information models of the most relevant EHR specifications are available in the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The transformation approach is based on defining mappings between those ontological structures. We propose a way in which CEM entities can be transformed into openEHR by using transformation templates and OWL as common representation formalism. The transformation architecture exploits the reasoning and inferencing capabilities of OWL technologies.Results We have devised a generic, flexible approach for the transformation of clinical models, implemented for the unidirectional transformation from CEM to openEHR, a series of reusable transformation templates, a proof-of-concept implementation, and a set of openEHR archetypes that validate the methodological approach.Conclusions We have been able to transform CEM into archetypes in an automatic, flexible, reusable transformation approach that could be extended to other clinical model specifications. We exploit the potential of OWL technologies for supporting the transformation process. We believe that our approach could be useful for international efforts in the area of semantic interoperability of EHR systems.
