骨髓基质干细胞移植对正常和心肌梗死大鼠心电图及心功能的影响

目的:骨髓基质干细胞移植到心肌梗死的瘢痕心肌组织中可以改善心功能,但以心电图为观察指标的研究不多。实验观察骨髓基质干细胞移植对正常和心肌梗死大鼠心电图及心功能的影响。方法:实验于2004-01/2005-03在哈尔滨医科大学完成。①实验动物:选取4周龄雄性Wistar大鼠80只,随机数字表法分为梗死移植组、正常移植组、梗死非移植组、正常非移植组,20只/组。另选取7d龄Wistar雄鼠30只作为骨髓基质干细胞的来源。②实验方法:采用密度梯度离心法获取鼠骨髓基质干细胞,配成1×109L-1的细胞悬液,使用5-氮胞苷体外诱导培养3～4周,移植前24～48h行Brdu标记。取载有细胞的盖玻片,测定钙释放时将20mmol/L的caffeine快速加在细胞表面。梗死移植组、梗死非移植组大鼠建立心肌梗死模型。造模4周后,梗死移植组将0.25mL诱导的骨髓基质干细胞悬液注射至大鼠心肌梗死后的瘢痕组织,正常移植组同法将骨髓基质干细胞悬液注射至正常心肌组织,梗死非移植组、正常非移植组注射等量不含骨髓基质干细胞的培养液基质。③实验评估:观察骨髓基质干细胞的诱导分化情况及其植入后在瘢痕心肌组织中的生存状态。测定细胞内钙离子浓度。记录术前、冠脉结扎后即刻/细胞移植即刻、术后4周的心电图变化。检测术后4周的超声和血流动力学指标变化。结果:80只大鼠均进入结果分析。①骨髓基质干细胞的诱导分化及其植入后的生存状态:5-氮胞苷诱导3周后,骨髓基质干细胞表达肌钙蛋白Ⅰ和肌凝蛋白重链,细胞内有丰富的肌丝和Z线,细胞器较多。植入4周后在心肌瘢痕组织中分化为心肌细胞。②细胞内钙离子浓度:两组细胞在caffeine刺激下钙离子的释放均呈波峰状,但诱导组应用caffeine后钙离子浓度降低且低于基础状态,钙释放受到抑制,未诱导组不受影响。③心电图观察:与术前比较,梗死移植组QRS波变窄,R波降支出现正常顿挫波,未见显著心律失常。④超声检测及血流动力学分析:术后4周,与梗死非移植组比较,梗死移植组左室收缩末压、左室射血分数和压力变化速率最大值均显著升高(P<0.05或0.01)。结论:骨髓基质干细胞体外诱导后能分化为心肌样细胞,植入到瘢痕心肌组织中生存、增殖良好,可改善心电图及心肌弹性,从而改善心肌梗死大鼠的心功能。     

Patterns of contrast enhancement of benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms during bolus dynamic and delayed CT

Bolus dynamic and delayed computed tomographic (CT) scans of the liver were evaluated in 43 patients with 54 hepatic hemangiomas and 111 patients with primary or secondary malignant hepatic neoplasms. Twelve patterns of contrast enhancement were recognized during the bolus dynamic phase and delayed scanning. A "typical" CT pattern for hemangiomas (present in 29 of 54 hemangiomas [53.7%]) was established: (a) diminished attenuation prior to intravenous contrast medium administration (excluding lesions arising in a liver with diffuse fatty infiltration), (b) peripheral contrast enhancement during the bolus dynamic phase, and (c) complete isodense fill-in on delayed scan images. Using these criteria, we distinguished hemangiomas from malignant neoplasms in most patients. Only one of 63 (1.6%) malignant neoplasms manifested these typical CT criteria of hemangioma. There is an 86% chance that a lesion with the typical CT appearance of hemangioma is actually a hemangioma, even when found in a patient with a known nonhepatic primary neoplasm.     

平胃散对湿阻中焦模型大鼠血浆抗利尿激素及红细胞内钠、钾浓度的影响

目的:探索湿阻中焦证的病理机制,并探讨平胃散对湿阻中焦证的作用机理。方法:选用湿阻中焦证大鼠模型,给予平胃散配伍利水药,观测各组大鼠血浆抗利尿激素(ADH)的浓度及红细胞内电解质Na~+、K~+浓度。结果:湿阻造模组大鼠与正常组相比ADH显著升高(P<0.01);细胞内的Na~+增高,K~+显著降低(P<0.05)。给予平胃散后,高、中、低剂量组及加泽泻组大鼠ADH基本恢复正常;细胞内的Na~+下降至接近于正常,K~+尤明显变化;不造模给药组与正常组比较ADH显著升高(P<0.05),Na~+、K~+明显下降(P均<0.01)。结论:(1)血浆ADH浓度升高、细胞内Na~+增多、K~+降低在湿阻中焦证形成中起重要作用。(2)平胃散治疗湿阻中焦证的作用机理与调节ADH和细胞内Na~+、K~+浓度有关,且可能存在双向调节机制。     

Evaluation of a rapid stoolantigen test for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in Chinese patients

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of a rapid assay that wasdeveloped to detect Helicobacter pylori antigen in the stool,using the principle of immunochromatography, in the Chinese population. METHODS: Eligible patients without prior treatment of H.pylori were recruited. An in‐house rapid urease test (RUT) andhistology were used as the gold standard. The results of the rapidstool antigen test were compared with the gold standard. RESULTS: Valid rapid stool antigen test results for interpretationwere obtained from 94 consecutive patients (mean age: 52.5, range:22?82 years). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictivevalue, negative predictive value and accuracy were, respectively, 77.5%,87.0%, 81.6%, 83.9% and 83.0%.The test was easy to perform and results were available within 15 min. CONCLUSION: The rapid stool antigen test using immunochromatography accuratelydiagnoses H. pylori infection in Chinese patients.
