城市血吸虫病综合防治措施的研究

目的探索快速控制城市血吸虫病流行的综合措施。方法在城市血吸虫病流行区选择3个试点现场,南津港、太平桥2个点采取以化疗为主的综合防治措施,小柳叶洲点采取以环境改造灭螺为主的综合防治措施。结果南津港点3年居民血吸虫感染率分别为2.80%、2.60%和2.24%,并发生急性血吸虫病2例;感染螺平均密度分别为0.0009、0.0027、0.0020只/0.1m2。小柳叶洲点3年无居民粪检阳性者,无急性血吸虫病例,哨鼠感染率为0,没有查到感染性钉螺。太平桥点3年居民感染率分别为1.18%、0.20%和0.26%,无急性血吸虫病例,家畜感染率分别为6.35%、3.57%和3.85%,2004年发现感染性钉螺,平均密度为0.0001只/0.1m2。结论在城市血吸虫病流行区,采取以环境改造灭螺为主、人群化疗、健康教育、药物灭螺灭蚴的综合防治措施能快速控制疫情。采取以化疗为主的综合防治措施,难以有效控制疫情。     

Body weight and comorbidity predict mortality in COPD patients treated with oxygen therapy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between clinical variables and all-cause and respiratory mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). The authors retrospectively studied a historic cohort of 128 patients with COPD (126 males, mean age+/-SD 68.9+/-9.7 yrs, body mass index (BMI) 25.1+/-4.5 kg.m-2, and forced expiratory volume in one second 25.4+/-8.8% predicted), who were being treated with long-term oxygen therapy in a tertiary teaching hospital between 1992 and 1999. Comorbidity, assessed with the Charlson Index, was present in 38% of the patients. Vital status and cause of death were assessed through the population death registry. A total of 78 patients (61%) had died by the end of follow-up. Three-year survival was 55%. Death was due to respiratory causes in 77% of cases. On Cox analysis, BMI<25 kg.m-2, comorbid conditions, age>or=70 yrs and cor pulmonale were associated with all-cause mortality. The BMI and comorbidity were the only significant predictive factors when the analysis was restricted to respiratory mortality. In conclusion, body mass index<25 kg.m-2 and comorbidity were predictors of all-cause and respiratory mortality in a cohort of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients treated with long-term oxygen therapy. These factors should be taken into account when considering the management and prognosis of these patients.     

全膝关节置换术后的骨溶解：胫骨盘表面的修饰及聚乙烯衬垫灭菌方法对其的影响术 后5至10年的报告

背景：从关节和胫骨假体聚乙烯衬垫后表面转移磨损碎屑，是全膝关节置换术后假体周围骨溶解的主要原因。全膝人工关节假体设计随时问而发生变化，例如对胫骨盘近端表面的粗糙度和聚乙烯衬垫的灭菌方法。我们假设胫骨盘表面抛光和采用空气中γ射线照射之外的其他方法对衬垫灭菌，可降低骨溶解的发生率。方法：从1987年至1998年，我们采用后十字韧带保留型的解剖型组配式全膝人工关节假体系列。对300名患者施行365例全膝关节置换术。术后5至10年，对这些患者的膝关节摄正、侧位X线片。由两位关节置换专家对X线片上的骨溶解状况进行单独评定（骨溶解的界定标准为假体周围存在边缘清晰的非线性松质骨丢失区）。结果：在粗糙表面的胫骨盘的242例膝关节中，使用空气中γ射线照射灭菌的衬垫固定，有34％（82例）骨溶解阳性。用惰性气体中γ射线照射或没有照射的衬垫与抛光表面连接的98例膝关节中，有9％（9例）骨溶解阳性。骨溶解与六项因素相关，这些因素为：一项与患者（男性）相关、一项与胫骨盘（近端表面抛光）相关、三项与聚乙烯衬垫（加工的原材料、灭菌方法及存放时间）相关及一项与手术技术（股骨假体与胫骨假体间的过伸）相关。结论：在这类假体设计中，胫骨盘近端表面采用抛光及衬垫采用更为先进的灭菌方法（不用空气中γ射线照射灭菌）能显著减少骨溶解的发生率，但不能避免骨溶解。     

衰老对大鼠阴茎组织NO-cGMP通路及端粒酶活性的影响研究

目的探讨衰老对大鼠阴茎组织结构、NO(nitric oxide)-cGMP(cvclic Guanosine Monophosphate)通路及端粒酶活性的影响作用。方法本课题以不同月龄大鼠阴茎组织及培养的平滑肌细胞为研究对象,检测不同月龄大鼠阴茎组织中NO量、NOS(Nitric Oxide Synthase)活性、cGMP量、端粒酶活性及海绵体结构的变化,并比较大鼠、人阴茎组织及大鼠原代海绵体平滑肌细胞的端粒酶活性。结果(1)大鼠阴茎组织中NO量、NOS活性均先升高后降低,各月龄组间有显著差异。阴茎组织cGMP含量逐渐降低,各月龄组间差别显著；(2)随龄增加,平滑肌纤维逐渐减少,胶原纤维增多,粗大成团,窦状隙变少、变窄：(3)大鼠阴茎组织端粒酶活性以2月龄活性最高,随龄增加逐渐下降。人阴茎组织中无端粒酶活性。结论(1)衰老对大鼠阴茎组织结构、NO．cGMP通路及端粒酶活性有显著影响,提示衰老与ED关系密切；(2)大鼠阴茎组织有端粒酶活性,可作为研究细胞衰老与ED关系有关端粒酶的模型。     

Evidence that the Receptor for Soluble CD14:LPS Complexes may not be the Putative Signal-Transducing Molecule Associated with Membrane-Bound CD14

Membrane-bound CD14 acts as a receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils. Studies have suggested that the activation of monocytes/macrophages by the binding of LPS to membrane-bound CD14 may require the association of a signal-transducing molecule with membrane-bound CD14. The observation that non-CD14 expressing cells, such as endothelial cells, can nevertheless be activated by a complex of LPS and a soluble form of CD14 (sCD14) suggests that the receptor for this complex may be identical to the signal transducing molecule associated with membrane-bound CD14. The studies described show that two CD14-specific MoAb are able to block the LPS-induced activation of endothelial cells but do not affect the response of monocytes to LPS. This suggests that the interaction of the sCD14:LPS complex with endothelial cells is distinct from the interaction of membrane-bound CD14 with its putative signal-transducing molecule.     

Plasmid DNA encoding transforming growth factor-beta1 suppresses chronic disease in a streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis model.

Transforming growth factor beta is a potent immunomodulator with both pro- and antiinflammatory activities. Based on its immunosuppressive actions, exogenous TGF-beta has been shown to inhibit autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. To further explore the potential therapeutic role of TGF-beta, we administered a plasmid DNA encoding human TGF-beta1 intramuscularly to rats with streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis. A single dose of 300 microg plasmid DNA encoding TGF-beta1, but not vector DNA, administered at the peak of the acute phase profoundly suppressed the subsequent evolution of chronic erosive disease typified by disabling joint swelling and deformity (articular index = 8.17+/-0. 17 vs. 1.25+/-0.76, n = 6, day 26, P < 0.01). Moreover, delivery of the TGF-beta1 DNA even as the chronic phase commenced virtually eliminated subsequent inflammation and arthritis. Both radiologic and histopathologic as well as molecular evidence supported the marked inhibitory effect of TGF-beta1 DNA on synovial pathology, with decreases in the inflammatory cell infiltration, pannus formation, cartilage and bone destruction, and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines that characterize this model. Increases in TGF-beta1 protein were detected in the circulation of TGF-beta1 DNA-treated animals, consistent with the observed therapeutic effects being TGF-beta1 dependent. These observations provide the first evidence that gene transfer of plasmid DNA encoding TGF-beta1 provides a mechanism to deliver this potent cytokine that effectively suppresses ongoing inflammatory pathology in arthritis.
