Localization of dystonic muscles with 18F-FDG PET/CT in idiopathic cervical dystonia.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether (18)F-FDG PET/CT is useful for localizing dystonic cervical muscles in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia (ICD) by comparing disease severity before and disease severity after botulinum toxin (BT) injection into hypermetabolic muscles. METHODS: Six patients with ICD underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT. Dystonic muscles suitable for BT injection therapy were defined as those showing diffusely increased (18)F-FDG uptake. RESULTS: Hypermetabolic cervical muscles were identified in all 6 patients. In 2 patients who underwent PET/CT both in a supine position and in a sitting position during (18)F-FDG uptake, abnormal hypermetabolic muscles were observed by PET/CT only when patients were in the sitting position with their heads and necks in the adopted abnormal involuntary posture. Symptoms were significantly improved in 4 patients who underwent BT injection therapy guided by PET/CT and who were clinically monitored. CONCLUSION: (18)F-FDG PET/CT is potentially useful for identifying dystonic cervical muscles for BT therapy in patients with ICD.     

理性看待高密度脂蛋白

由于新药toreetrapib的临床研究未获预期结果 ,以及残存心血管危险性这一概念的提出,近年人们再次对高密度脂蛋白(HDL)及高密度脂蛋白-胆固醇(HDL-C)给予高度关注.研究提示,在关注HDL-C水平的同时,不能忽视HDL的功能状态.目前最有效和安全的升高HDL-C水平的方法 还是生活方式调节,主要包括锻炼、减轻体重和戒烟等.     

Central Nervous System Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis Presenting with Parkinsonism

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) is a potentially malignant lymphoproliferative disorder. The lung is the most common involved site, followed by the skin and nervous system. However, LG of the central nervous system presenting with Parkinsonism is very rare. We report a patient with LG who presented with parkinsonian features such as bilateral rigidity, bradykinesia, and agitation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multifocal punctuate enhanced lesions in both supra- and infratentorial areas. Steroid pulse therapy resulted in a dramatical improvement in the symptoms and MRI abnormalities.     

组织工程小血管摩擦力测量方法的研究与应用

目的设计一套用于组织工程小血管内壁摩擦力测量的装置并对组织工程血管的材料进行初步的测量,以验证装置的可靠性和相关结论。方法根据血液动力学的原理,对血管的力学模型进行分析,确定组织工程血管内皮细胞摩擦力的测量方法,从而设计完成整套装置并对弹性元件进行测量,并进行组织工程降解材料聚羟基乙酸PGA构成的管状支架进行摩擦力的测量。结果设计完成了测量组织工程血管内壁摩擦力的实验装置,弹性元件的牵拉力与位移的关系呈良好的线性关系。聚羟基乙酸PGA管状支架的摩擦力随流速的增加而增加。结论测量组织工程血管内壁摩擦力的实验装置是可行的,聚羟基乙酸PGA管状支架的摩擦力与流速基本呈现线性关系。     

关节镜下改良张力带固定治疗髌骨骨折患者的康复护理

对38例新鲜髌骨骨折患者行关节镜直视下骨折复位,改良张力带固定,术前和术后给予及时有效的功能康复和护理指导,取得满意的效果。平均随访18.6个月,骨折平均愈合时间7.5周,所有病例愈合良好,无并发症出现。关节镜治疗髌骨骨折为髌骨骨折提供了一种新的治疗方法。应针对其解剖特点制订科学、有效的护理方法。     

不同负荷运动训练对大鼠红细胞膜特性的影响

本文采用实验研究方法,通过对大鼠运动后红细胞数量,Hb浓度及体重等一般情况的检测,拟对其施加不同负荷的训练,观察训练后大鼠红细胞膜流动性及红细胞膜脂质成分的变化,进一步讨论运动后红细胞功能及机体机能所发生的变化。实验结果表明,小负荷的运动训练通过改善RBCM脂质组成,增加p/c比值、增强其抗氧化能力等增加RBCM流动性,使红细胞的变形能力增加,有利于其运氧功能的发挥。大负荷训练后RBCM流动性下降,提示不同负荷的运动训练会引起机体产生不同的变化,进而导致机体运动水平上的差异,整体携氧能力下降。
