Expression of measles virus nucleocapsid protein in osteoclasts induces Paget's disease-like bone lesions in mice.

We targeted the MVNP gene to the OCL lineage in transgenic mice. These mice developed abnormal OCLs and bone lesions similar to those found in Paget's patients. These results show that persistent expression of MVNP in OCLs can induce pagetic-like bone lesions in vivo. INTRODUCTION: Paget's disease (PD) of bone is the second most common bone disease. Both genetic and viral factors have been implicated in its pathogenesis, but their exact roles in vivo are unclear. We previously reported that transfection of normal human osteoclast (OCL) precursors with the measles virus nucleocapsid (MVNP) or measles virus (MV) infection of bone marrow cells from transgenic mice expressing a MV receptor results in formation of pagetic-like OCLs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on these in vitro studies, we determined if the MVNP gene from either an Edmonston-related strain of MV or a MVNP gene sequence derived from a patient with PD (P-MVNP), when targeted to cells in the OCL lineage of transgenic mice with the TRACP promoter (TRACP/MVNP mice), induced changes in bone similar to those found in PD. RESULTS: Bone marrow culture studies and histomorphometric analysis of bones from these mice showed that their OCLs displayed many of the features of pagetic OCLs and that they developed bone lesions that were similar to those in patients with PD. Furthermore, IL-6 seemed to be required for the development of the pagetic phenotype in OCLs from TRACP/MVNP mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results show that persistent expression of the MVNP gene in cells of the OCL lineage can induce pagetic-like bone lesions in vivo.     

介绍一种针头拔出器

临床工作中，医务人员在分离注射器、输液器针头时，常用止血钳、纱布或直接用手分离，这些方法易被针头刺伤。在许多医院使用自动针头毁形器。现介绍一种低成本、易制作及安装的简易针头拔出器。     

足底深支或(和)第一跖背动脉逆行足背岛状皮瓣的临床应用

目的探索足部远端软组织缺损修复的较佳方法。方法采用足底深支或(和)第1跖背动脉逆行足背岛状皮瓣对6例足部远端软组织缺损创面进行修复。结果6例患者均一次性修复,软组织缺损最大面积8cm×6cm,术后随访1~4年,足部功能与外观均较满意。结论足底深支或(和)第1跖背动脉逆行足背岛状皮瓣血管解剖比较恒定,操作简单,是修复足远端软组织缺损的较好方法。     

联合应用经腹腹膜前腹腔镜疝修补术和腹腔内网片植入术治疗成人腹股沟疝

目的联合应用经腹腹膜前腹腔镜疝修补术(transabdominal preperitoneal prosthetic,TAPP)和腹腔内网片植入术(intraperitoneal onlay mesh,IPOM),探讨理想的腹腔镜下腹股沟疝修补的方法。方法2006年1月~12月,对30例成人腹股沟疝行腹腔镜下修补。以腹壁下血管内侧缘为界,把疝薄弱区纵行分成内侧和外侧,内侧采用改进的TAPP方法,外侧仍用IPOM方法。沿腹壁下血管内侧缘纵行剪开腹膜后向内侧游离的区域内基本上是无血管区,亦无重要的神经,组织疏松极易游离,数分钟内即可分离出所需要的面积(7.5 cm×6.5 cm)。补片的材料亦分为内侧和外侧,内侧是聚丙烯材料,外侧应用Proceed补片。结果30例均在硬膜外麻醉下完成,手术时间单侧30~40 min,平均35 min,双侧50~60 min,平均55min,术中出血1~5 ml,术后第2天可离床活动,术后3~4天出院,术后2周均恢复工作。术后随访2~12个月,平均9个月,无粘连性肠梗阻,腹股沟部和全身无不良反应。结论联合应用TAPP和IPOM后,能体现微创的原则,易掌握,损伤少,手术时间短,恢复快,手术效果确切。     

Th1/Th2炎症极化与肺气肿和肺纤维化

肺气肿具有Ⅰ型T辅助细胞（Th1）炎症极化的特征，表现为损伤过度和修复不足，肺实质的破坏增加，肺间质变薄。与之相反，肺纤维则具有Ⅱ型T辅助细胞（Th2）炎症极化，表现为损伤后修复过度，肺间质增厚，胶原沉积。通过调控Th1和Th2的炎症趋势来控制肺组织的损伤和修复的结局可能会为肺气肿和肺纤维化的防治提供新思路。     

Performance and comparison of the Cockcroft-Gault and simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formulae in estimating glomerular filtration rate in a Chinese Type 2 diabetic population.

AIMS: Our aim was to assess performances of the Cockcroft-Gault and simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formulae in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in Chinese diabetic populations and their association with vascular risks. METHODS: A total of 1009 patients with Type 2 diabetes were categorized into low estimated GFR groups (GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) and control groups by the two equations. The performances of these formulae were assessed at different stages of kidney function. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy or albuminuria were compared among the groups. The ability of these formulae to identify established vascular risk markers using sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were also compared. RESULTS: The prevalence of low estimated GFR was 32.7% with the Cockcroft-Gault formula and 5.2% with the MDRD formula, respectively. In low estimated GFR subjects by the MDRD formula, IMT was significantly thicker than those by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (1.2 mm vs. 1.0 mm; P < 0.05), with a higher prevalence of albuminuria (78.4 vs. 52.8%, P < 0.05) and diabetic retinopathy (46.5 vs. 30.5%; P < 0.05). The Cockcroft-Gault formula gave a specificity of 71.7% and a sensitivity of 37.0%, and the MDRD formula gave a specificity of 96.6% and a sensitivity of 7.9% in estimating low GFR relevant for established vascular risks. CONCLUSIONS: These formulae performed differently in Chinese diabetic populations. The simplified MDRD formula is minimally superior to the Cockcroft-Gault formula for its high specificity and positive predictive values in estimating low GFR relevant for vascular risks.
