大白鼠肾上腺的血管构筑

本实验采用血管铸型扫描电镜,注射明胶卡红组织切片显微镜下观察和注射铅丹乳胶追踪血管来源三种方法对14只健康大白鼠肾上腺血管构筑进行了研究。大白鼠肾上腺动脉发自腹主动脉和肾动脉。它们在行程中发出分支至腺体表面,再次分支穿入囊内,逐级分支至毛细血管。皮质动脉发自囊内血管,它们在皮质中分支分布。球状带的毛细血管与囊的毛细血管相连,毛细血管在球状带围绕细胞团形成网眼状;在束状带呈放射状排列;在网状带吻合增多形成网状。髓质动脉亦发自囊的血管,它们在皮质中不发分支直抵髓质,在髓质分成毛细血管。网状带的毛细血管越向髓质口径越粗,它们在皮髓交界处互相吻合形成更粗的静脉,这些静脉逐级吻合,最后形成一主干——中央静脉,它穿出皮质出现于肾上腺门处。左侧的中央静脉注入在肾静脉,右侧的注入下腔静脉。     

BTA在膀胱癌诊断中的应用

为了探求对膀胱肿瘤诊断及术后复发监测的理想手段，从１９９５年９月～１９９６年６月，采用ＢＴＡ试剂检测方法对２０２例血尿患者及７１例膀胱肿瘤术后的患者进行了诊断检测，诊断膀胱癌的敏感度为９６％、特异度为８３％、准确度为８６％，２６例膀胱肿瘤患者中仅６例（２３％）尿脱落细胞阳性，正常对照均为阴性。认为ＢＴＡ试剂是一种快速、有效、无创性诊断膀胱肿瘤的方法。     

Histological comparison of implanted cadaveric and porcine dermal matrix grafts.

OBJECTIVES: Histological comparison of human-based (AlloDerm) and porcine-based (ENDURAGen) dermal matrices regarding tissue incorporation and neovascularization as potential soft tissue augmentation materials. STUDY DESIGN: In vivo, rat model. METHODS: Subcutaneous implantation of 1-mm thick, 1 cm x 1 cm pieces of AlloDerm, ENDURAGen, and meshed ENDURAGen was performed in 24 Sprague Dawley rats. Implant materials were harvested at 4 (n = 12) and 8 weeks (n = 12). Histological quantification of soft tissue ingrowth and microvascular density was performed following hematoxylin-eosin staining and CD34 immunohistochemistry, respectively. RESULTS: AlloDerm showed significantly greater soft tissue ingrowth and microvascular density compared with both ENDURAGen and meshed ENDURAGen at 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Although these results may differ in human host tissues, AlloDerm seems to be a more suitable dermal matrix implant than ENDURAGen for cases in which tissue incorporation and neovascularization are sought for the optimal outcome based on this animal model.

急性心肌梗塞患者血清唾液酸含量测定

本文测定了５０例正常人，３２例急性心肌梗塞，５４例冠心病无梗塞者血清ＳＡ水平，结果表明，急性心肌梗塞组血清ＳＡ水平与冠心病无梗塞组及正常人相比，具显著性差异，可能与心肌梗塞造成心肌细胞受损所致使细胞表面成份释放入血有关，所以血清ＳＡ测定可提供一新的心肌梗塞诊断依据。     

Upper Gastrointestinal Irritation and Arrhythmia

Abstract: The influence of endoscopic examination on the occurrence of arrhythmia was investigated electrocardiographically in 30 patients with cardiovascular disease who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (group A) and 38 patients with digestive tract disease who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) (group B). The mode and frequency of arrhythmia during the examination were compared between the two groups. (1) Arrhythmia was more frequently observed in group A (22 of 30, 73.3%) than in group B (9 of 38, 23.7%) patients (p<0.001). The common arrhythmias in both groups were supraventricular premature beat and ventricular premature beat. Serious arrhythmias, such as 2nd degree atrioventricular block and ventricular fibrillation were detected only in group A patients. (2) The region of the esophagus where the tip of the probe or scope was located was classified into three segments: upper (0–15 cm), middle (15–35 cm) and lower (35 cm<). Arrhythmias tended to be frequent when the tip of the probe or scope was located in the middle segment of the esophagus. These data indicate that arrhythmias observed during TEE or UGIE are related to the underlying heart disease. Furthermore, the middle segment of the esophagus appears to be particularly susceptible to the provocation of arrhythmia.     

戊四氮诱发大鼠全身强直-阵挛性癫痫发作诱导丘脑c-fos癌基因表达

首次运用Fos癌蛋白抗体免疫组化法详细研究了戊四氮诱发大鼠全身强直-阵挛性癫痫发作诱导丘脑c-fos癌基因表达的动态分布。主要结果是:腹腔内注入戊四氮诱导大鼠癫痫发作后0.5h,丘脑室旁核出现低密度的Fos-免疫阳性(Fos-ir)细胞核标记;3h时,中等密度的Fos-ir标记扩布至大部分丘脑中线和板内核群及网状核;6h时,所有上述丘脑核群的Fos-ir标记普遍增为中等至高密度。结合文献报道,上述结果提示:丘脑室旁核很可能是戊四氮诱发大鼠全身强直-阵挛性癫痫发作的重要起源部位之一;丘脑中线和板内核群及网状核很可能在此种癫痫发作的病理生理机制中起重要作用。     

Pre-operative parenteral nutrition in patients with oesophageal cancer: a prospective, randomised clinical trial

A prospective randomised clinical trial was conducted to examine the efficacy of 2 weeks pre-operative parenteral nutrition (PPN) for the prevention of complications following surgery for oesophageal cancer. Forty patients were studied, the diet of twenty being supplemented by pre-operative parenteral nutrition. There were no significant differences in age, nutritional status, tumour staging and histology between the two groups of patients. The use of PPN resulted in a significant gain in body weight and nitrogen but failed to produce an overall reduction in post-operative morbidity and mortality rates. However patients receiving PPN exhibited two types of changes in serum albumin levels. Those with a fall in serum albumin levels associated with an increase in body weight (indicating an expansion of extracellular volume) had a significantly higher incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications than the group exhibiting a rise in serum albumin levels concomitant with increase in body weight. These data suggested that two weeks PPN might not be adequate in certain patients and a longer period of PPN is required. They also show no clinical benefit from the routine use of pre-operative parenteral nutrition in all patients, but do not exclude benefit in selected groups.     

A Study of Early Pregnancy Factor Activity in Preimplantation

PROBLEM and METHOD: Early pregnancy factor (EPF), an Immunosuppressive substance, which appears in pregnant women's sera 48 h after fertilization, is a kind of pregnancy-specific protein. To determine whether the EPF activity could be a super early indicator of pregnancy, we used rosette inhibition assay to detect EPF activity in the sera, collected from 70 women 2–7 days after ovulation intending to conceive monitored by ultrasonography. Simultaneously we selected 40 non-pregnant sera and 12 early-pregnant sera as negative control and positive control, respectively. RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrated that EPF activity is detected in 35 women's sera out of 70 women within 2–7 days after ovulation, and 28 women out of the 35 were pregnant, which was known by follow-up, and 7 were not pregnant, possibly due to either false positive results or embryo loss because of preimplantation failure, thus causing no pregnancy. The other 35 out of 70 had no EPF activity and 34 of them were not pregnant, which was known by follow-up, but one case became pregnant, which was false negative result. Our study showed that diagnosis of the super early pregnancy could be made by detecting EPF activity in maternal serum within the time of preimplantation. The accuracy of pregnancy diagnosis by this method is 88.6%, with a false negative rate of 3.4% and a false positive rate of 17.1%. The β-HCG level was measured from the above 70 women's sera in order to contrast EPF activity. All of the sera collected 2–6 days following ovulation indicated that there were lower β-HCG values in very early pregnancy (≥a5 mIU/ml). On the seventh day after ovulation, EPF activity was detected in 11 out of 15 sera with only 2 of them with a b-HCG level that reached or slightly surpassed that of the early pregnancy diagnosis (5 mIU/ml and 5.4 mIU/ml, respectively). This demonstrated that β-HCG is not the earliest signal of pregnancy; otherwise the EPF activity is one that appears 2–6 days earlier than β-HCG appears. We measured the progesterone level of the 48 sera from the 70 collected above within 2–7 days postovulation and found most of them reached the level of progesterone in the luteal phase (7.5–98.3 nmol/L). This indicated that ovulation had taken place in these women, which was in accordance with observations by ultrasonography. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that diagnosis (of 88.6%) of super early pregnancy could be made with an accuracy of 88.6% by detecting EPF activity in maternal serum within 2-days after ovulation. This offers a basis for pregnancy diagnosis for the women who attempt to terminate their pregnancy safely or who conceive unexpectedly, and it contributes to family-planning.
