两种隐匿阴茎大鼠模型的建立及比较

目的:建立稳定的大鼠隐匿阴茎模型,为探索阴茎包埋对海绵体结构和功能的影响提供实验动物模型。方法:90只2周龄雄性SD大鼠随机均分为A、B、C3组,A组采用阴茎根部内荷包缝合法,B组采用包皮折叠缝合法包埋阴茎,C组为假手术组。在180d内观察两种方法的包埋效果。结果:A组术后4只死于急性尿潴留,5只因尿道口周围软组织感染、皮肤破溃导致包埋失败,3只因包埋过松阴茎伸出;B组术后1只死于麻醉,2只死于急性尿潴留;因阴茎发育和勃起,A组有7只、B组有10只阴茎伸出;C组1只死于麻醉。A组和B组中其余大鼠均有较好的包埋效果,A组包埋成功率为36.7%,B组为56.7%,而且可以在实验中任何时候解除包埋。结论:包皮折叠缝合法和阴茎根部内荷包缝合法均能建立稳定的、且与人类隐匿阴茎自然病程较为一致的2周龄大鼠隐匿阴茎动物模型。     

有限内固定结合外固定支架治疗胫骨远端骨折

目的探讨有限内固定结合Hybrid外固定支架治疗胫骨远端骨折的疗效。方法从2003年1月～2005年7月,使用Hybird外固定支架治疗胫骨远端骨折21例,按AO分类:A1型4例;A2型5例;A3型4例;C1型2例;C2型3例;C3型3例,其中开放性骨折8例,手术采用有限切开,骨片钉固定,Hybrid外固定支架不跨踝关节固定。结果术后21例均获随访,平均随访时间12.3个月,骨折平均愈合时间7.6个月。功能评定采用Bone的踝关节活动度进行评价,优良率达76%。结论Hybrid外固定支架设计合理并能维持骨干的轴线,骨片钉能很好的固定骨折块,同时避免了软组织的并发症,可使踝关节早期活动,防止踝关节僵硬,因而是治疗胫骨远端骨折有效的方法之一。     

急性心肌梗死与肺炎衣原体关系的多因素分析

急性心肌梗死(AMI)属动脉粥样硬化性冠心病最严重的临床类型,而动脉粥样硬化(As)的感染机制日益受到人们的重视。本次研究旨在通过对AMI患者进行血清流行病学调查,探讨AMI与肺炎衣原体(Cp)感染的关系。     

Endoscopic T-tube placement in the management of lye-induced esophageal perforation: Case report of a safe treatment strategy

Esophageal perforation is associated with a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. We report herein a case of lye-induced esophageal perforation managed successfully by employing endoscopic T-tube placement with a successful outcome.     

Liposome-mediated transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor cDNA augments survival of random-pattern skin flaps in the rat.

Tissue engineering is an application for gene therapy that is in its infancy. We show that simple liposomal-mediated gene transfer could result in a potentially useful biological effect in the field of wound healing. cDNA encoding the 165 amino acid form of vascular endothelial growth factor complexed to commercially available liposomes was injected into rat skin 1 week before raising a random pattern 3 x 10 cm flap. The flap survival was enhanced by 14 percent, and was accomplished without accessing the arterial inflow of the territory. These results were statistically significant (p<0.002) and reproducible. No adverse effects were seen. Histological analysis of the angiogenesis localized much of the new vessel formation to the area around the hair follicles. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of extracted flap tissue confirmed the presence of the transgene.     

Efficient high-frequency body coil for high-field MRI.

The use of body coils is favored for homogeneous excitation, and such coils are often paired with surface coils or arrays for sensitive reception in many MRI applications. While the body coil's physical size and resultant electrical length make this circuit difficult to design for any field strength, recent efforts to build efficient body coils for applications at 3T and above have been especially challenging. To meet this challenge, we developed an efficient new transverse electromagnetic (TEM) body coil and demonstrated its use in human studies at field strengths up to 4 T. Head, body, and breast images were acquired within peak power constraints of <8 kW. Bench studies indicate that these body coils are feasible to 8 T. RF shimming was used to remove a high-field-related cardiac imaging artifact in these preliminary studies. P41RR13230     

单蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣乳房再造中Ⅳ区皮瓣的取舍

目的探讨单蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣乳房再造术中Ⅳ区皮瓣的取舍。方法通过16例实施单蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣乳房再造术，术中观察皮瓣的皮色、断面出血颜色，并利用近红外血氧监测仪测定皮瓣各区的组织血氧饱和度，决定Ⅳ区皮瓣的取舍。术后观察指标包括术后并发症及美学效果。结果16例中5例Ⅳ皮瓣的肤色正常、断面出血呈鲜红色而非暗红色、组织血氧饱和度不低于Ⅲ区组织血氧饱和度的95％。在接受了保留Ⅳ区皮瓣的单蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣乳房再造术后，再造乳房全部成活，无严重术后并发症，患者对再造乳房均很满意。结论近红外血氧无创检测有助于决定Ⅳ区皮瓣的取舍。有选择地实施保留Ⅳ区皮瓣的单蒂横行腹直肌肌皮瓣乳房再造术，可用于大面积胸壁缺损或乳腺尾叶的修复重建。     

Compromised late-stage motion processing in schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Visual motion processing is compromised in schizophrenia, as shown in deficient velocity discrimination. Processing of motion signals comprises progressive stages along the geniculate-striate-extrastriate-cortex pathway. Based on neurophysiologic and brain lesion studies, a velocity discrimination deficit can implicate early-stage motion processing if it is contrast-dependent or late-stage motion processing if it is contrast-independent. METHODS: To determine which stage underlies the deficient velocity discrimination in schizophrenia, we examined the effects of visual contrast on velocity discrimination. We measured velocity discrimination thresholds in schizophrenia patients (n = 34) and normal control subjects (n = 17) at both low and high contrasts, using each subject's contrast detection threshold to equate contrast levels. RESULTS: Schizophrenia patients showed poor velocity discrimination that improved little with high contrast, whereas normal control subjects showed enhanced velocity discrimination with increased contrast. CONCLUSIONS: The finding that the velocity discrimination deficit in schizophrenia is independent of contrast modulation implicates the later, rather than the earlier, stages of motion processing, which is mediated in the extrastriate cortex.
