Interactions of cholecystokinin and glucose in rat pancreatic islets

The effects of sulfated cholecystokinin (CCK-8S) and glucose on insulin secretion and polyphosphoinositide (PPI) metabolism were studied in isolated rat islets. Both agonists stimulate PPI hydrolysis, inositol phosphate accumulation, 3H efflux from [3H]inositol-prelabeled tissue, and 45Ca efflux from prelabeled cells. However, the effects of CCK-8S on PPI metabolism are considerably greater than those of glucose. Furthermore, the effects of CCK-8S on PPI and Ca2+ metabolism are observed whether islets are incubated in either 2.75 or 7 mM glucose, but CCK-8S only stimulates insulin secretion (a biphasic response) when the higher glucose concentration is present. Addition of 1 microM forskolin to islets incubated in media containing 2.75 mM glucose does not influence basal insulin secretion but sensitizes the islets to the action of CCK-8S. In the presence of forskolin, CCK-8S induces a very marked first phase but no second phase of insulin secretion. We postulate that CCK-8S acts in this tissue via receptor-linked PPI hydrolysis, leading to an inositol trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ efflux. These receptor-mediated effects of CCK-8S are not altered either by the ambient glucose concentration or the cAMP content of the islets, but these two factors determine the responsiveness of the islets (in terms of insulin secretion) to a given CCK-8S signal.     

体重、体质指数、腰围和腰臀比对正常成人骨密度的影响

目的探讨体重、体质指数(BMI)和腰围、腰臀比(WHR)对正常成人骨密度的影响。方法采用MarcomMx8000多层螺旋CT测定560例正常成人腰椎松质骨密度,将受试者按年龄不同分为青年组、中年组和老年组,然后在同年龄组根据BMI及腰围的不同将受试者分为肥胖组和正常体重组,分析骨密度与体重、BMI、腰围及WHR的关系。结果①以BMI分组,老年肥胖组BMD高于体重正常组(P<0.05);②以腰围分组,中年女性肥胖组BMD低于非肥胖组(P<0.05);③青年组和中年组BMD与腰围及WHR呈负相关,老年组BMD与体重和BMI呈正相关与腰围和WHR不相关。结论预防骨质疏松症在中青年应提倡运动锻炼,避免肥胖,在老年人不应该过分强调降低体重减少肥胖以避免骨量的丢失。     

中医对恶性循环的理论探讨及思考

在疾病的发生发展过程中,原因和结果间可以相互交替和相互转化,这种变化反复交替发展常可形成恶性循环,从而使疾病恶化直至死亡。本文作者试图从中医角度对这一现象进行理论阐释,并力图将其某些优势借鉴应用到中医上来,以解释一些中医问题。     

Early and late results of orthotopic liver transplantation

Between 4/1986 to 1/1989, 74 orthotopic liver transplantation were performed in 62 patients (62 first liver transplants, 10 as second graft and two as a third graft); 57 in adults and 17 in children. The main indication for the operation was liver cirrhosis (61.4%) (the most frequent etiology was alcoholic cirrhosis, 28.5%). Six cirrhotic patients had a hepatocarcinoma (9.6%). Two received a liver and kidney transplant due to terminal renal insufficiency and hemodialysis. The most frequent indication in children was biliary atresia (33.3%). Six patients had a fulminal liver failure (9.6%). AB0 blood group compatibility was identical in 87.5%, compatible in six and incompatible in three patients. Total orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in 67 patients, and size-reduced liver was indicated in 7 patients. Extracorporeal veno-venous bypass was used in adults but never in children. In 93.1% of the transplants a single hepatic artery was anastomosed to the recipient and in 6.9% a double anastomosis was performed. In 62.5% of the patients a end-to-end choledocho-choledochostomy was performed and in 34.8% hepatico-jejunostomy was indicated. Three months postoperative mortality rate was 12.9%. Arterial stenosis and thrombosis were the most frequent complication.

肾上腺外嗜铬细胞瘤的诊断与治疗(附18例报告)

目的 探讨肾上腺外嗜铬细胞瘤的诊断和治疗方法。方法 回顾性分析18例肾上腺外嗜铬细胞瘤的临床资料。男13例，女5例。平均发病年龄30岁。18例均有不同程度的血压升高，头痛头晕(67％)、心悸多汗(44％)、视物不清(33％)及肉眼血尿(28％)为主要临床症状。尿儿茶酚胺(CA)和(或)3-甲氧4—羟苦杏仁酸(VMA)阳性者16例，阳性率89％。经B超、CT、MRI及膀胱镜等检查，肿瘤位于膀胱7例、腹主动脉旁5例、肾门4例、脐尿管1例、盆腔1例。结果 18例中行肿瘤切除术15例，探查术3例。病理诊断良性16例，恶性2例。5例术后3个月～10年复发。结论 尿CA和VMA测定是定性诊断和监测复发的有效方法。围手术期控制血压和扩容是保障手术安全的关键。术后应长期严密随访。
