Solitary bronchioloalveolar carcinoma: CT criteria

The computed tomographic (CT) scans of 30 patients with solitary bronchioloalveolar carcinoma were reviewed. Common features at CT included the peripheral or subpleural location of a pulmonary mass (25 cases), pseudocavitation (18 cases), heterogeneous attenuation (17 cases), irregular margins forming a star pattern (22 cases), and pleural tags (21 cases). Using these CT criteria, four independent observers attempted to identify cases of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from a larger sample of lung cancers and benign lesions by categorizing a series of test cases into four probability categories. Although the bronchioloalveolar carcinomas were correctly ranked in the two highest probability categories 75% of the time (in 45 of 60 cases), there was considerable overlap with other lung lesions, particularly with adenocarcinoma and large cell undifferentiated carcinoma. However, even though the typical features of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma are not invariable or highly specific, they are characteristic enough to suggest the diagnosis.     

川芎嗪和维拉帕米对缺血性急性肾衰初期保护效应的实验研究

１８只犬切除右肾，钳夹左肾动脉６０分的肾缺血模型，再灌注５小时。将动物随机分成对照组、川芎嗪组及维拉帕米组。观察尿量、菊糖清除率、利钠指数、平均动脉压及心率；再灌注５小时取肾组织作形态学检查。结果显示川芎嗪对肾功能及形态有保护作用，维拉帕米则无此作用，提示在手术中有肾缺血时以川芎嗪作为肾保护药物优于维拉帕米。     

医科院校师生对考试现状看法的调查与分析

医科院校的考试主要是学科考试。调查显示，教师和学生对目前的学科考试模式评价均不高，存在的最主要弊端是考试方法单一，考试管理不够科学、严谨，考风不好；认为作弊的主要原因在于学生自己学习不努力、社会风气影响以及学校对教师和学生要求不够严格。因此，要搞好考试改革，提高考试质量，必须着重从改革考试方法、加强考试管理的改革与研究、整顿考风、制定科学的成绩评定方法、加强能力考核、实施教考分离等方面进行探索与实践。     

放射线照射对体外培养的骨巨细胞瘤细胞作用的实验研究

目的 :对体外培养的骨巨细胞瘤细胞进行放射线照射 ,并观察其效应。方法 :对 6例经临床、X线和病理组织学检查证实的骨巨细胞瘤标本进行体外细胞培养 ,传代后实验组进行放射线照射处理 ,对照组未进行放射线处理。分别采用倒置显微镜观察、台盼蓝染色后计数、MTT法测定和FCM分析来观察放射线照射对体外培养的骨巨细胞瘤细胞的细胞毒性和细胞周期的影响。结果 :放射线照射后 ,体外培养的骨巨细胞瘤细胞可见逐渐发生皱缩和脱落 ,细胞存活率为 8 2 7%～ 13 5 0 % ,细胞毒性指数为 83 19% ,FCM分析显示G0与G1期比例明显增加 ,G2与M期比例明显减少。结论 :放射线照射对体外培养的骨巨细胞瘤细胞有较强的细胞毒性作用     

核酸杂交反应中影响因素分析

以光敏生物素标记的R3 cDNA克隆为模型,采用正交设计的方法,对影响核酸杂交反应的主要因素:杂交反应温度,反应时间,探针浓度及甲酰胺浓度作了综合性分析。当探针浓度为800μg/L,甲酰胺浓度为10mol/L,50℃杂交反应6h,可获得最高灵敏度(10pg)。     

胫骨平台骨折合并软组织损伤的临床分析与治疗

目的:总结分析各种胫骨平台骨折合并不同类型软组织损伤中的相互关系,探索其诊断与治疗策略。方法:自1995年10月至2004年1月共治疗胫骨平台骨折合并软组织损伤143例。所有病例均行开放复位内固定,对不同类型软组织损伤同时采取相应的处理方法。结果:术后随访129例,随访时间6到27个月,平均16个月;骨折均于12周内愈合,所有患者均恢复了患肢的正常力线,患肢稳定。结论:胫骨平台骨折合并软组织损伤的诊断必须早期、全面、详细、明确,坚强的内固定基础上,对不同类型的软组织损伤必须正确处理,术后应注意被动伸膝及CPM功能锻炼,这样才能最大程度挽救膝关节功能,减少晚期并发症。     

64层螺旋CT在冠状动脉支架置入术后评估中的价值

目的:评价64层螺旋CT在冠状动脉支架置入术后复查中的临床价值。方法:采用64层螺旋CT对27例冠状动脉支架置入术后的患者(共47个支架)进行CT冠状动脉成像。观察支架及其支架血管和非支架血管的通畅性。结果:支架通畅43例,支架内狭窄3个、闭塞1个,支架前后血管狭窄25支(包括两近端狭窄4例),非支架血管狭窄26支。结论:64层螺旋CT比16层螺旋CT观察冠状动脉内支架优越,可作为冠状动脉支架置入术后效果随访观察和了解原有冠心病进展情况的重要手段。     

Monitoring the protective effects of minocycline treatment with radiolabeled annexin V in an experimental model of focal cerebral ischemia.

Minocycline is an antibiotic now recognized to have antiapoptotic and antiinflammatory properties. Because of these properties, minocycline may be of benefit in reducing neuronal apoptosis from ischemia and subsequent postischemic inflammation if administered soon after a stroke. We now explore the feasibility of using (99m)Tc-annexin V, an in vivo marker of apoptosis, with SPECT to monitor the antiapoptotic effects of minocycline therapy. METHODS: CB6/F1 adult male mice underwent unilateral distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCA) occlusion and were imaged and sacrificed at 1, 3, 7, or 30 d after injury. Animals were given minocycline (or vehicle) 30 min and 12 h after dMCA occlusion and then given 22.5 mg/kg twice daily for up to 7 d. Before imaging, behavioral tests were performed to evaluate the neurologic function. After imaging, brains were collected for histology and assessed for the degree of apoptosis and microglial activation. RESULTS: (99m)Tc-Annexin V uptake in injured hemispheres was significantly decreased 2- to 3-fold by minocycline at all time points. Minocyline reduced infarct size as seen histologically and improved behavioral indices as late as 30 d. Infarct volume as seen histologically correlated with radiolabeled annexin V uptake seen by SPECT. In situ fluorescent microscopy demonstrated that annexin V bound primarily to neurons at 1 and 3 d, with a shift toward microglia by 7 and 30 d. CONCLUSION: We found that minocycline significantly reduces neuronal apoptosis and infarct size and improves neurologic outcome in mice after acute focal cortical ischemia.

Background  

We present the design of an open randomized multi-centre study on surgical versus conservative treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of conservative treatment in reducing complications when treating acute Achilles tendon rupture.
