鼻咽癌放疗性角膜损伤的跟踪研究

目的:探讨鼻咽癌(NPC)放射治疗眼部并发症。方法:对 213 例 NPC 初程放疗患者进行跟踪观察。放疗前、放疗中及放疗后作视功能(包括远视力、裂隙灯活体显微镜、眼底、自动电脑视野及视诱发电位)检查和角膜荧光素染色。结果:发生角膜损伤 19 例,占 8.9 %(19/213)。I～Ⅱ期6 例,Ⅲ期 8 例,Ⅳ期 5 例。全部发病患者均无角膜刺激症状,放疗后 10mo 内,角膜病变消退,但知觉仍较对侧眼明显减退;20mo 后尚未恢复正常。未发现晶状体混浊的患者。结论:NPC 放疗性角膜损伤与鼻咽癌临床分期及照射剂量无密切关系(P>0.05),可能主要与角膜感觉神经损伤导致眼表疾病密切相关;不排除患者不同个体对辐射的敏感差异性。

The sinusoidal pressure during ischemia-reperfusion injury in perfused mouse liver pretreated with or without L-NAME

BACKGROUND: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is accompanied by liver weight gain and ascites formation possibly caused by an increase in the sinusoidal pressure, a determinant of hepatic transvascular fluid movement. However, changes in the sinusoidal pressure during hepatic I/R in mice are not known. It is also controversial whether nitric oxide (NO) exerts a beneficial or detrimental effect on hepatic I/R injury. We determined the changes in hepatic sinusoidal pressure and liver weight, and the effect of a NO synthase inhibitor, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on I/R injury of isolated mouse liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Isolated liver from 20 male outbred ddY mice was perfused portally with diluted blood (Hct 3%). After pretreatment with L-NAME (100 microm) or D-NAME (100 microm), ischemia was induced at room temperature by occlusion of the inflow line of the portal vein for 1 h followed by 1-h reperfusion in a recirculating manner. The sinusoidal pressure was assessed by the double vascular occlusion pressure (Pdo), and pre- and postsinusoidal resistance was determined. Liver injury was assessed by blood levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT). RESULTS: In the d-NAME group (n=7), immediately after reperfusion, the portal pressure increased by 2.8 +/- 0.1 (SE) mmHg, which was accompanied by an increase in Pdo of 1.5 +/- 0.1 mmHg, indicating increases in pre- and postsinusoidal resistance to a similar degree. Then, presinusoidal, but not postsinusoidal, resistance sustained increased until 60 min after reperfusion. Liver weight increased to 0.14 +/- 0.04 g/g liver after reperfusion, followed by a gradual return to baseline. Blood ALT levels increased at 60 min after reperfusion. There were no significant differences in changes in the variables between the D- and L-NAME (n=7) groups. In the time-matched non- I/R control group (n=6), no changes in variables were observed for 2 h. CONCLUSIONS: Mouse hepatic I/R causes marginal liver weight gain associated with a small and transient increase in the sinusoidal pressure, and nitric oxide does not play any significant roles in this injury.     

Methods for siting emergency stomas in the absence of a stoma therapist

Introduction

Stomas often have to be sited in emergencies by trainees who may have had little training in this. Emergency stomas and stomas where the site has not been marked preoperatively by a stoma therapist are more prone to complications. These complications may severely affect a patient’s quality of life. Advice in the literature on how to best site stomas is conflicting. We compared two easy anatomical methods of siting stomas to sites chosen by a stoma therapist and looked at how this site was affected by the patients’ body mass index (BMI).

Methods

Patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery were seen either pre or postoperatively. Each patient’s BMI was recorded and the positions of three different potential stoma positions (site G: the gold standard, marked by a stoma therapist; site S: marked using a pair of scissors against the umbilicus; site H: halfway between the umbilicus and anterior superior iliac spine) were compared.

Results

The two fixed anatomical methods described (method S and method H) both gave poor results. The most common reason for poor siting was the proximity of a skin crease. There was a statistically significant correlation between the patient’s BMI and the laterality of the gold standard site.

Conclusions

The two simple anatomical methods described here do not provide a shortcut to effective siting. A more effective method may be calculating the laterality of the site using the patient’s BMI, and then moving up/down to avoid a skin crease and improve the patient’s view for changing the bag. This deserves further study.     

综合医院ICU护士人文关怀能力的培养

目的探索ICU护士人文关怀能力培养的策略与效果。方法在界定ICU护士人文关怀能力的基础上,根据不同的能力维度采取不同的培养策略并进行评价。结果 ICU护士理论考试中认知能力维度得分较高(46.15±1.98),人际沟通与合作能力维度得分次之(38.00±4.87);自评和他评的工作能力较评判性思维能力与学习创新能力的评分要高。结论经过1年的培训,提高了ICU护士对人文关怀重要性的认知,但人际沟通与合作能力还需要采取更合适的策略进行培养;在具备较强工作能力的基础上,ICU护士评判性思维能力与学习创新能力提高的策略还需要进一步的研究和探索。

Significance of plasma von Willebrand factor level and von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease activity in patients with chronic renal diseases

Background von Willebrand factor （vWF） mediates the initial capture of platelets to vascular subendothelium and is essential for platelet aggregation under high fluid shear stress as in arterial stenosis. On release from endothelial cells, vWF is rapidly cleaved by ADAMTS13/vWF-cleaving protease （vWF-CP）. We investigated the clinical significance of changes in plasma vWF and vWF-CP activities in chronic renal disease.
Methods Plasma vWF and vWF-CP activities were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and residual collagen binding assay respectively in patients with lupus nephritis （n=31）, primary nephritic syndrome （n=25）, diabetic nephropathy （n=45）, chronic glomerulonephritis （n=38） and 40 normal controls. The relation of their levels with pathological and renal status was analyzed.
Results In all diseased patients the levels of vWF were significantly higher and vWF-CP activity significantly lower than the controls （both P〈0.01）. vWF in the four subgroups did not correlate with the stage of disease but correlated negatively with vWF-CP activity, vWF-CP activity was not changed two weeks after renal transplantation. Renal biopsy demonstrated that the vWF level in stage IV was higher than in stages II and III while vWF-CP activity was lower in patients with lupus nephritis. After eight-week treatment, the vWF level significantly decreased and the vWF-CP activity significantly increased in systemic lupus erythema, disease activity index 〈9, but not with index 〉9. Even though the vWF-CP activity was significantly lower in membranous nephropathy than in minimal change disease, mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis or IgA glomerulonephritis, the vWF level was not significantly different.
Conclusions The alterations of plasma vWF and vWF-CP activities were associated with different renal pathologies. Injury to endothelial cells and autoantibodies against vWF-CP activity may result in higher vWF level and lower vWF-CP activity in chronic renal disease an
