生物活性材料义眼台

由于病变和外伤等原因，使一些人眼球摘除，留下外现缺陷。医学上使用义眼台植入眼眶，在上面按装义眼以矫治外形。从前使用的义眼台用玻璃球或硅橡胶制作，使用中均有种类不同的缺点，即无生物活性、密度大等。医学界希望有新型医用材料临床应用。采用液态化学方法合成羟基磷灰石，使羟基磷灰石和微晶玻璃混匀，制成生物活性材料。生物材料和粘结剂、造孔剂，辅助剂一同制成生坯，以适当的温度焙烧成多孔结构义眼台。对材料进行了动物实验与临床应用。动物实验表明，材料具有优异的生物相容性和一定的生物活性。临床应用效果良好。本材料是制备义眼台的新材料。本文就材料研究、动物实验、义眼台的生产工艺进行了探讨。     

Induction of HSP72 in Rat Liver by Chronic Ethanol Consumption Combined with Exercise: Association with the Prevention of Ethanol-Induced Fatty Liver by Exercise

Ethanol-induced fatty liver in rats was attenuated by repeated running exercise, and the protective effect of exercise was associated with the synergistic expression of heat shock proteins (HSP72). Rats were placed in four groups of six. The two ethanol-fed groups of rats received a liquid diet (Lieber-DeCarli formulation) in which 36% of the calories were derived from ethanol. One group remained sedentary (S/E), whereas the other was trained to run on a rodent treadmill at a speed of 27 m/min, 1 hr/day, 5 days/week, for 7 weeks (R/E). Two other groups–one exercised as previously mentioned (R/C) and one sedentary (S/C)–received control-liquid diets in which the ethanol was isocalorically substituted with a dextran/maltose mixture. The degree of fatty infiltration in liver sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin was graded on a 0–4 scale and the data analyzed by ANOVA on ranks. Ethanol significantly induced fatty infiltration in the S/E group, whereas fatty infiltration in the livers of the R/E group was not different from the S/C group. Electrophoresis and Western blotting of liver homogenates demonstrated that HSP72 was not expressed in either the S/C or S/E groups and was only slightly expressed in the R/C group. The combination of exercise and ethanol, however, resulted in an elevated expression of HSP72 in the R/E group. The content of HSP73 was unaffected by any treatment.

Pharmacist involvement in a thyroid clinic

The patient-care activities of a pharmacist in a thyroid clinic are described. Since 1978 a pharmacist has been an active member of the staff of a thyroid clinic associated with a 500-bed university hospital. More than 1500 patients are referred to the clinic each year. The pharmacist initiates, maintains, or modifies the drug therapy of selected patients with physician-diagnosed thyroid disorders under the guidance of written protocols approved by the chief endocrinologist. Most patients treated by the pharmacist are receiving thyroid-suppression therapy, antithyroid drugs for Graves' disease, or thyroid hormone supplementation after surgery or after radioactive iodine therapy. The pharmacist assesses patients, prescribes medications, orders laboratory tests, charts visits and therapeutic plans, and educates patients about their conditions. Major changes in thyroid status and drug therapy are always discussed with the chief endocrinologist. The pharmacist also participates in educational programs to influence prescribing by physicians, provides drug information, serves as a preceptor to pharmacy students, and is investigating the equivalence of levothyroxine preparations in vivo and in vitro. An audit of patient outcomes showed that the pharmacist is highly effective in her role as a giver of direct patient care. A pharmacist's role in a thyroid clinic can consist of clinical practice, education, preceptorship, and research.     

胃癌D17S261和D17S799位点二核苷酸重复序列不稳定性的意义

目的研究二核苷酸重复序列不稳定性〔ＤＲＳＩ〕在胃癌发生中的作用及其临床意义．方法采用ＰＣＲ方法检测了Ｄ１７Ｓ２６１和Ｄ１７Ｓ７９９位点二核苷酸重复序列不稳定性．结果胃癌总ＤＲＳＩ发生率为３４％（１７／５０），其中高中分化腺癌ＤＲＳＩ阳性率（６６７％，１０／１５）显著高于低分化癌（１９４％，６／３１，Ｐ＜００１）；肠型胃癌ＤＲＳＩ阳性率（５５６％，１０／１８）显著高于胃型胃癌（２０％，６／３０，Ｐ＜００５），ＤＲＳＩ与胃癌部位、大小、浸润、分期、淋巴结转移无显著相关．结论ＤＲＳＩ在胃癌的发生中可能起重要作用．     

Epoxyalkanoyls as novel ACE inhibitors

The epoxyalkanoyl derivatives were designed and synthesized as ACE inhibitors. Coupling of unsaturated carboxylic acids with amino acids and following epoxidation with dimethyldioxirane gave the epoxyalkanoyls with high yield. The inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds on angiotensin converting enzyme was IC₅₀ values of 0.06≈5.5 μM.

间断缺血心停搏在冠脉搭桥术中的应用

１９９２～１９９３年间为１８０例冠脉病变的病人施行冠脉搭桥术，全部病人均采用核甙抑制剂利多氟嗪预处理和低温（２８℃）间断缺血心停搏进行术中心肌保护。平均每例病人作冠状动脉端吻合３～４个，每个吻合口用９分钟，主动脉阻断累加时间约２５分钟，体外循环时间９０分钟，术后医院死亡率１．６％（３／１８０），无术后心梗发生。作者认为，冠脉搭桥术的术中心肌保护可采用核甙抑制剂和间断缺血心停搏方法，而不用心肌停搏液。     

Detection ofHelicobacter pylori in gastric biopsy tissue by polymerase chain reaction

To evaluate the sensitivity of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay using nested primers in detectingHelicobacter pylori, gastric tissue biopsy specimens were collected on endoscopy from 17 patients with a duodenal ulcer. DNA was extracted by phenol/chloroform treatment or boiling in water, and then subjected to a nested PCR using two primer pairs from the urease gene ofHelicobacter pylori. Fourteen of the 17 patients were positive forHelicobacter pylori using DNA samples extracted by either method. The PCR results correlated well with the results of an enzyme immunoassay to detect IgG antibody. However, there were two culture negative patients. The three PCR negative patients were both culture negative and serologically negative. DNA from 9 of the 14 patients was randomly selected and subjected to semiquantification by serial dilutions, and then PCR. The results showed that phenol/chloroform extraction yielded 10–1000 times more DNA than the boiling method. It is concluded that the PCR assay is a rapid and sensitive method for detectingHelicobacter pylori, and that phenol/chloroform extraction is superior to simple boiling in obtaining DNA samples for PCR.
