LES modelling of flow in a simple airway model

Detailed information about the flow field pattern is highly important in accurately predicting particle deposition sites in the human airway. Flow in the upper airway during heavy breathing can have a Reynolds number as high as 9300, and therefore presents turbulent features. Although turbulence is believed to have an important effect on the airflow and other transport processes in the bronchial tree, to date both theoretical and numerical studies have predominantly assumed the flow to be laminar. In this paper, transitional/turbulent flow during inspiration is studied using a large eddy simulation (LES) in a single asymmetric bifurcation model of human upper airway. The influence of the non-laminar flow on the patterns and the particle paths is investigated in both 2D and 3D models. Throughout the investigation, comparisons with the laminar and conventional k- models for the same configuration and flow conditions are made. The LES model is also carefully validated against published experimental data in a stenotic tube model. The results demonstrate that the LES model is capable of capturing instantaneous eddy formation and flow separation in (almost) laminar, transitional and turbulent flow regimes, and hence may be used as a powerful and practical tool to provide much of the detailed flow information required for tracing the particle trajectories and particle deposition in human airways.     

FAM19A4基因启动子甲基化检测在宫颈癌及其癌前病变筛查的研究

宫颈癌是最常见的妇科恶性肿瘤之一。目前人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)检测及细胞学检查是宫颈癌及其癌前病变(CCPL)的主要筛查手段。由于上述传统筛查方法,仍然存在对CCPL漏诊的风险,因此寻找有效识别CCPL的特异性分子标志物,具有重要临床意义。对具有序列相似性家族19成员A4(FAM19A4)基因启动子甲基化定量检测,可有效检出CCPL组织,较传统筛查方法有较高特异度,有望成为CCPL筛查的特异性分子标志物。笔者拟就FAM19A4基因启动子甲基化定量检测,在CCPL筛查中应用的最新研究现状进行阐述,旨在为进一步推进CCPL筛查方法的开发,提供思路。

白细胞进入腹腔是引起蛋白质经腹腔丢失的关键

目的为了研究细菌性腹膜炎时经腹腔蛋白质丢失的机制,阐明白细胞移行与蛋白质丢失的关系。方法给兔腹腔内注射大肠杆菌(E.coil)4×106CFU+生理盐水(35ml/kg),做成急性腹膜炎动物模型。通过测定实验6或8h期间腹透液中白细胞总数(WBC)及中性粒细胞(PMNs)计数情况以及腹膜对蛋白质的通透性(蛋白质D/P比值)。设立了两个系列的实验系列一,应用氮介(mustine),1.2mg/kg,实验前3天静脉注射,以耗尽循环血中的白细胞;系列二,用单克隆抗体(mAb)60.32mg/kg,实验前5min静脉注射,以阻滞PMNs上的粘附分子CD18,从而抑制PMNs向腹腔移行。同时设立了阳性对照组(即腹膜炎组)及阴性对照组(无腹膜炎组)。结果系列一中mustine降低87%循环血中白细胞及93%循环血中PMNs,此时即使腹腔内注射细菌,白细胞向腹腔的移行及腹腔蛋白质的渗出均较未注射mustine的腹膜炎组明显降低,而与无腹膜炎的正常对照组结果相似。系列二,静脉注射mAb60.3同样也明显降低白细胞及PMNs向腹腔的移行及经腹腔蛋白质的丢失。结论急性细菌性腹膜炎时白细胞向腹腔移行导致了经腹腔蛋白质的丢失。     

乳腺髓样癌的超声检查与组织病理的相关性分析

目的:探讨超声检查在诊断乳腺典型髓样癌中的临床意义。方法:按严格的病理诊断学标准将病例重新分类为乳腺典型髓样癌和非典型髓样癌,比较两者间声像学特征的异同。结果:32例中有13侧重新诊断为乳腺典型髓样癌;另外19例为非典型髓样癌。13例典型髓样癌患者中的10例边界整齐光滑;全部19例非典型髓样癌病人没有一例边界光滑,或者边界呈锯齿状(16例),或者边界光滑伴局部不规则(3例)。非典型与典型髓样癌间肿瘤边界的规则性有明显的差异。结论:如果超声检查提示肿瘤边界呈锯齿状或肿瘤边界光滑伴局部不规则,应行整个肿瘤的病理评估防止典型髓样癌的过诊断。
