结直肠癌中雄激素受体及其与临床病理学特征关系的研究

应用放射性配基结合分析法，检测了４０例结直肠癌及部分癌旁正常粘膜组织中的雄激素受体（ＡｎｄｒｏｇｅｎＲｅｃｅｐｔｏｒ，ＡＲ），同时分析了ＡＲ水平与临床病理学变化的关系。证实结直肠癌ＡＲ数目（３３．７±２３．３ｆｍｏｌ／ｍｇ蛋白）明显低于癌旁５ｃｍ以外粘膜（５３．９±３２．４ｆｍｏｌ／ｍｇ蛋白），Ｐ＜０．０１，而其亲和力则无变化；结直肠癌时ＡＲ数目变化与女性、直肠癌、高分化癌及早期癌关系密切。提示ＡＲ与结直肠癌关系密切，本实验为临床上结直肠癌的诊断及内分泌治疗提供了初步资料。     

癌胚抗原及粘液组织化学在胃癌中表达的研究

对60例胃癌进行了粘液组织化学和癌胚抗原免疫组织化学研究。结果表明:胃癌发病率肠型和胃肠混合型占多数。60例胃癌中含大肠型粘液者占50例,而单纯含胃型粘液为极少数。癌胚抗原分布方式,肠型胃癌与胃肠混合型胃癌比较无显著差异性(P>0.05)。癌胚抗原的阳性率,胃肠混合型胃癌高于肠型胃癌,两者之间有非常显著差别(P<0.01)。认为选用能显示硫粘蛋白和氧乙酰基唾液酸粘蛋白的粘液组织化学方法,作为胃癌组织分型和确定胃粘膜肠化性质,对癌前病变诊断有一定价值。     

Differential effect of interleukin 1 on naive and memory CD4+ T cells.

Freshly derived murine CD4+ T cells are divided into naive and memory cells based on the expression of CD45 isoforms. Cross-linking the T cell receptor CD3 complex either by plastic-bound anti-CD3 antibodies or the antibody presented on non-lymphoid Fc gamma receptor type II-positive Chinese hamster ovary cells in absence of competent antigen-presenting cells fails to activate naive cells to either secrete cytokines or to proliferate. In contrast, memory cells secrete their characteristic cytokines [interleukin (IL) 2, IL4, and interferon-gamma] and show significant proliferation to this stimulus. IL 1 however, is required for their optimal clonal expansion. Differential expression of IL 1 receptor mRNA in memory cells also correlate with their responsiveness to IL 1. Thus, these data reveal a basic difference in the requirements for activation of naive and memory CD4+ T cells.

舒张功能障碍对冠心病的诊断价值

目的应用超声多普勒方法评价冠心病患者的左室整体舒张功能及舒张功能障碍的发生率，探讨舒张功能障碍在冠心病无创诊断中的价值。方法对入选病人行常规检查，同时进行二尖瓣血流频谱、肺静脉血流频谱及二尖瓣环组织多普勒检查，对比临床标准与舒张功能障碍标准对冠心病的诊断率。结果舒张功能障碍标准对冠心病的检出率显著高于临床标准。结论舒张功能检查可作为冠心病诊断的初筛检查。     

Evaluation of the clinical, hemodynamic and neurohormonal response to levosimendan administration in decompensated heart failure patients. One-month follow-up.

INTRODUCTION: Levosimendan is an inodilatory drug with hemodynamic effects in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure. AIM: Short-term (one month) evaluation of clinical, hemodynamic and neurohormonal changes in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure undergoing levosimendan therapy. METHODS: Twenty-six (21 male) consecutive patients were studied, corresponding to 32 levosimendan administrations (bolus + 24h infusion), aged 56.7+/-13.0 years, with decompensated chronic heart failure, in NYHA functional class III-IV (78.1% in class IV), and cardiac index (CI) <2.5 l/min/m2. Clinical (NYHA class), non-invasive hemodynamic (echocardiography) and neurohormonal (Elecsys ECLIA NT-ProBNP) evaluations were performed before levosimendan administration and on days 1, 4, 10 and 30. RESULTS: 1) Until day 10, there was a progressive decrease in NT-ProBNP values and weight (p<0.001), with an increase in CI (p<0.001); 2) NYHA functional class improved progressively, with 76% of the patients in NYHA class II at day 30; 3) NT-ProBNP values at day 1 correlated inversely (r=-0.414; p=0.024) with CI at day 4; and 4) the absolute decrease in NT-ProBNP values at day 4 (relative to baseline values) correlated with weight loss at day 4 (r=0.495, p=0.005), day 10 (r=0.424, p=0.031) and day 30 (r=0.486, p=0.030). CONCLUSION: Levosimendan therapy in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure contributes to progressive NYHA class improvement. The variations seen in NYHA class and hemodynamics was reflected in changes in NT-ProBNP.     

针灸加推拿刮法治疗胫骨结节骨骺炎16例

Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis due to Streptococcus constellatus infection.

Adult septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) due to Streptococcus constellatus infection has not been reported. We report a case of CST due to S. constellatus in a 39-year-old man who had typical presentations of septic CST including headache, fever, and ophthalmoplegia, with an evolving course for 10 days before he was sent to our emergency room. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study revealed CST, which was confirmed by cerebral angiography study. Multiple positive blood cultures grew viridans streptococci and further species identification with conventional methods, API-20 STREPT system analysis, and polymerase chain reaction sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA revealed S. constellatus. The presence of sphenoid sinusitis in this patient was also demonstrated by cranial MRI study, and the presence of meningitis by meningeal irritation signs and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings. Chronic alcohol consumption for more than 10 years was the only predisposing condition to this infection. He had a full recovery after 6 weeks of intravenous penicillin G therapy (24 x 10(6) U/day). Almost complete regression of cavernous sinus lesion and resolution of sphenoid sinusitis were shown on follow-up cranial MRI study about 6 months later.     

β-防御素在慢性鼻-鼻窦炎和正常鼻黏膜中的表达

近年来研究表明，鼻黏膜及黏膜下腺体中存在大量的免疫活性细胞并分泌大量的生物活性分子，如各类白介素、溶菌酶、抑菌肽等。研究这些生物活性分子对如何提高鼻腔黏膜的防御功能及慢性鼻-鼻窦炎的防治有重要意义。人类β-防御素（human β-defensins，hBD），包括hBD-1和hBD-2是近几年发现的广泛分布于口腔、呼吸道、胃肠道、泌尿道黏膜上皮及黏膜下腺体组织的重要蛋白质分子，
