血脂监测在防治Ⅱ型糖尿病患者继发动脉粥样硬化中的意义

目的探讨血脂代谢紊乱跟Ⅱ型糖尿病(ⅡDM)患者继发动脉粥样硬化并症的关系。方法采用奥林巴斯Au-640全自动生化分析仪,测定Ⅱ型糖尿病患者和健康对照组的空腹血糖(GLU)、胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白(HDL-C)、载脂蛋白Al(ApoAl)和载脂蛋白B100(ApoBloo),并进行统计、比较并与患者的病情进行对比分祈,并对高血糖、血脂组患者跟踪观察、治疗。结果Ⅱ型糖尿病组同健康对照组比较、Ⅱ型糖尿病患者中有合并症组跟无合并症组、高血糖组跟血糖正常组比较,CHO、TG和ApoBloo的含量均升高(P<0.05),而HDL-C和ApoAI含量降低(P<0.05)。而高血糖、血脂组患者,已经初步出现或在随后的观察中出现了动脉粥样硬化等相关的临床表征,且治疗效果不佳。结论Ⅱ型糖尿病患者血脂的异常,特别是CHO、TG的大幅升高,提示患者在出现动脉硬化性心血管合并症之前,体内已经具备了诱发合并症的生化基础,应早期采取针性治疗和预防措施。     

Localization of a gene for otosclerosis to chromosome 15q25-q26

Among white adults otosclerosis is the single most common cause of hearing impairment. Although the genetics of this disease are controversial, the majority of studies indicate autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance. We studied a large multi- generational family in which otosclerosis has been inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Five of16 affected persons have surgically confirmed otosclerosis; the remaining nine have a conductive hearing loss but have not undergone corrective surgery. To locate the disease- causing gene we completed genetic linkage analysis using short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) distributed over the entire genome. Multipoint linkage analysis showed that only one genomic region, on chromosome 15q, generated a lod score >2.0. Additional STRPs were typed in this area, resulting in a lod score of 3.4. STRPs FES (centromeric) and D15S657 (telomeric) flank the 14. 5 cM region that contains an otosclerosis gene.      

Vergleichende Untersuchung von niedermolekularem Dextranoder Hydroxyäthylstärkelösungen als Volumenersatzmittel bei Hämodilutionstherapie

Summary Rheological therapy, as an immediate treatment in conjunction with physical therapy and the removal of risc factors, plays a significant role in the management of patients with peripheral vascular disease experiencing reduced walking tolerance. An essential element of rheological therapy is hemodilution. Currently, is still uncertain which plasma substitute solution would be the most appropriate in such cases. This study compared the effectiveness of low molecular hydroxyethyl starch to low molecular dextran during a 16-day hemodilution in combination to physical therapy. The clinical improvement observed with both plasma substitute solutions was comparable, yet in view of the cardiac volume overload, dextran demonstrates greater circulatory stress due to the transient pressure increase and more side effects. For this reason, we prefer to administer low or middle molecular hydroxyethyl starch in the dilution treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease as a chronic degenerative vascular disease.

EEG findings and language patterns in autistic children: clinical correlations

Several authors have used the EEG as a diagnostic tool to identify distinctive patterns of cerebral dysfunction in autistic children. However, evidence is needed to support the hypothesis that their level of functioning correlates with their EEG profile. In this study EEG's were obtained in 17 autistic children without sedation and following sleep deprivation. These children were also evaluated in a double blind procedure with regard to their speech and communication abilities. We did not find a statistically significant correlation between EEG changes and speech performance. None of the autistic children using an augmentative system of communication had any EEG abnormalities. However, a normal EEG is not sufficient to predict successful response to communication therapy. Since the effect of sedative drugs on brain electrical activity limits the value of tracings, we recommend the sleep deprivation techniques when "difficult" children have to undergo EEG testing. Parents' or guardians' participation during the procedure is encouraged.     

L—门冬酰胺酶前体脂质体对小鼠毒性及对实验性肿瘤作用

目的：研究L－门冬酰胺酶（L－Asparaginase,L-A)前体脂质体（Proliposome,PL)[L-APL]iv对小鼠的毒性及对荷瘤小鼠的抗肿瘤活性。方法：以小鼠的急性毒性和外周血中白细胞数及血小板数为指标观察药物对小鼠的毒性及以荷瘤小鼠的瘤重和生命延和工率观察药物的抗肿瘤活性;结果：L－APL iV对小鼠的急性毒性与L－A相比明显降低,L－APL对正常小鼠外周血中白细胞数,血小板数无明显影响,而相同剂量L－A对小鼠外周血中白细胞数,血小板数明显降低。与对照组相比,L－APL和L－Aip可明显延长腹水型小鼠移瘤L1210,P388的存活天数,与同剂量L－A相比,L－APL高剂量有明显延长腹水型小鼠移植瘤的存活天数作用。L－APL及L－A ip对小鼠移植瘤Heps,EC实体型的肿瘤生长具有明显的抑制作用,两者抑瘤作用相近。结论：L－APL对小鼠的毒性明显小于相同剂量的L－A,L－APL不仅保持了L－A的抗肿瘤活性,而且有明显的增效作用。     

Determination of clindamycin in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography using coupled columns

A rapid automated method has been developed for the determination of clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic, in human plasma. Coupled column HPLC was used after precipitation of plasma proteins with a saturated ammonium sulfate solution. As a first step, the drug and internal standard were trapped on a precolumn of LiChrospher 60RP-select B. A reversed-phase Nucleosil 100 C18 HD column then separated drug and internal standard from each other and from remaining plasma components. The assay was validated in the range 0.2-10.0 micrograms ml-1 plasma. The results obtained for accuracy, intra- and inter-day precision complied very well with the generally accepted criteria for bioanalytical assays.
