磁场强度的变化对膝关节成像质量的影响

目的 评价1.5T和3.0T两种不同的磁场强度对膝关节影像质量的影响.方法 采用同一厂家、同一系列、不同磁场强度的两种成像设备,对16位健康自愿者在1.5T和3.0T两种不同的磁场强度下,分别进行膝关节成像,序列使用相同的参数,不校正磁场强度的变化对TR的影响.分别测量半月板、肌肉、脂肪和骨骼的信噪比、对比噪声比和相对对比度,进行定量分析.结果 3.0T条件下膝关节图像的信噪比和对比噪声比明显优于1.5T,差异有统计学意义;3.0T条件下膝关节图像的相对对比度与1.5T比较,没有明显的统计学差异.结论 膝关节图像的信噪比和对比噪声比均随着场强的增加而提高,膝关节图像的相对对比度随场强的变化并不敏感.     

甘露醇和低温对兔骨骼肌缺血再灌流损伤的保护作用

通过兔后肢缺血模型，观察了甘露醇和低温对骨骼肌缺血再灌流损伤的保护作用。结果：甘露醇和低温可以不同程度地降低再灌流后患肢静脉回流血中细胞内酶（ＣＰＫ、ＬＤＨ、ＡＳＴ）的活性和脂质过氧化反应终末代谢产物丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）的含量，减轻骨骼肌细胞超微结构的破坏。两者单独应用效果不明显（Ｐ＞０．０５），联合应用效果非常明显（Ｐ＜０．０１）。提示自由基介导的脂质过氧化反应参与骨骼肌缺血再灌流损伤，甘露醇和低温对其具有协同保护作用。     

中风后癫痫的临床研究

本文报告３６例中风后癫痫发作的临床和ＣＴ资料。通过回顾性病历复习和随访发现，中风后癫痫的发生率占同期住院中风患者的５．２６％，以蛛网膜下腔出血和脑栓塞发生癫痫比率最高，分别为１５％和１２．５％。癫痫发作与ＣＴ所见病灶分布密切相关，皮质病灶较皮质下病灶更易发生病病。癫痫发作可发生于中风后任何时期，但早期癫痫以出血性中风多见，而迟发性癫痫则更多见于脑梗塞患者。     

Effects of Intraventricular Injection of Calmodulin Antagonist （Trifluoperazine） on Pregnancy in Rats

Injection of TFP (a specific antagonist of CaM) into the lateral ventricles of the rat brain on the fourth day of pregnancy causes marked antifertility effect in 83% of the rats (0% in the control group). Examination with the pontamone blue reaction for the implantation elucidated that the antifertitity effect was due to the blockage of implantation of the follicle. Injection of TFP into the lateral ventricles of the brain markedly reduced the concentration of CaM in hypothalamus, ovary and uterus. Serum progesterone was also reduced. However, injection glven on day 7 was ineffective to terminate the pregnancy. Injection given on certain time of pregnancy was able to reduce the cellular CaM content and to cause antifertitity. This finding demonstrated that CaM played an important rote during the course of pregnancy.     

格林—巴利综合征患者血清和脑脊液中的抗硫脂抗体

探讨抗硫脂抗体与格林－巴利综合征（ＧＢＳ）的关系。方法采用固相酶联免疫吸附法对急性期ＧＢＳ患者血清和脑脊液（ＣＳＦ）中抗硫脂ＩｇＧ和ＩｇＭ抗体进行检测。结果ＧＢＳ患者血清和ＣＳＦ中抗硫脂ＩｇＧ及ＩｇＭ抗体的阳性率均明显高于正常对照组；血清中抗硫脂ＩｇＭ抗体滴度与标本收集时患者发病天数呈负相关（Ｐ＜０．０５），而血清中抗硫脂ＩｇＧ抗体滴度与临床分级（Ｐ＜０．０１）、ＣＳＦ中抗硫脂ＩｇＧ抗体滴度（Ｐ＜０．０１）呈正相关；血清中抗硫脂ＩｇＧ或ＩｇＭ阳性的ＧＢＳ患者，体检时有不同程度的感觉障碍患者为５６％，而血清中抗硫脂抗体阴性患者仅为１６％，两者之间差异有显著意义（Ｐ＜０．０５）。结论抗硫脂抗体可能在ＧＢＳ的病理过程中起重要作用     

锌离子对大鼠海马突触体Ca^2＋—Mg^2＋ATP酶活性及蛋白合成的影响

行为实验己经证明，锌过多或缺锌均可影响脑功能。锌作为体内重要的微量元素，影响多种酶的活性及蛋白质和核酸的台成。本实验通过体外分离大鼠脑海马突触体，观察不同浓度锌离子对Ca2 －Mg2 ATP酶的活性和3H－Leu掺入突触蛋白合成的影响．结果表明：1．锌离子浓度在25μmol／L时增加该酶的活性（＜0．01），并促进3H－Leur掺入蛋白质的合成（＜0．05）。2．锌离子在50,100，200μmol／L的较高浓度时对Co2 －M2 ATP酶的活性有显著的抑制作用（分别为：P＜0.05．P＜0．01，P＜0.01），仅200μmol／L对3H—Leu掺入突触蛋白合成有抑制作用。本研究提示：适量的锌对突触体功能的维持是必要的，但剂量过高则起相反作用。

Epinephrine-induced pulmonary oedema in rats is inhibited by corticotropin-releasing factor.

In various animal models of injury to skin, mucous membranes, muscle and brain, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) attenuated vascular leakage in the injured tissues. Here, the effects of CRF on a rat model of pulmonary oedema were examined. Male albino rats (220-290 g) received saline or CRF s.c., 30 min before pentobarbital anaesthesia, 60 mg/kg i.p., and 1 h before 1-epinephrine bitartrate (Epi), 30 micrograms/kg i.v. Within 30 min after Epi all (n = 27) saline-pretreated rats were dead from pulmonary oedema, but animals receiving human/rat CRF at doses of 7 to 57 micrograms/kg s.c. (n = 25) were all alive. Body wt, wet and dry wt of lungs were used to calculate an oedema index. This index increased from 3.6 +/- 0.1 to 9.6 +/- 0.3 after Epi but was inhibited by 87% after CRF 28 micrograms/kg s.c. The ED50 of CRF for reducing pulmonary oedema was 3.2 (1.3-7.4) micrograms/kg s.c. Mean arterial pressure increased from 119 +/- 4 to 167 +/- 2 mmHg after Epi 10 micrograms/kg i.v., but was not different (118 +/- 3 to 169 +/- 4 mmHg) after CRF pretreatment, 6 micrograms/kg s.c., a dose which reduced lung oedema. Pharmacokinetic estimates suggest that plasma levels of CRF sufficient to attenuate lung oedema in rats approximate those seen in pregnant women at delivery, raising the possibility that endogenous CRF may protect the maternal organism during parturition.
