The modification of the new type of end-to-side anastomosis between carotid arteries in rats: A technical and Scanning Electron Microscopic study

Summary Modification of a type of end-to-side anastomosis that has been described before is studied. The recipient artery is occluded for only 3–4 minutes to complete the anastomosis by using only the running suture. The anastomotic site was studied by inspection and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) at different times after the operation on 30 rats.     

肝动脉化疗,栓塞与肝静脉暂时闭塞治疗肝癌

本文报道在10例肝癌患者中运用肝静脉暂时闭塞和肝动脉内灌注化疗、栓塞的方法治疗取得较好疗效。7例甲胎蛋白阳性患者5例下降大于50%,2例转阴。4例肿瘤缩小>50%。2例合并肝动-静脉瘘者成功实行碘油栓塞,1例经治疗后肝动-静脉瘘消失。对肝功能的影响与普通介入治疗相同。消化道反应相对较轻。并可提高肿瘤局部药物浓度,延长药物作用时间。配合肝段动脉或靶血管的插管可进一步提高疗效,减少并发症。     

子宫外蜕膜结节的病理学观察

采用ＰＡＳ、波形蛋白（ｖｉｍｅｎｔｉｎ）、上皮膜抗原（ＥＭＡ）、雌激素抗体（ＥＲ）和孕酮抗体（ＰＲ），对３例卵巢蜕膜结节（其中２例伴有腹膜结节），进行了免疫组织化学染色和光镜观察。结果３例均表达波形蛋白，而上皮膜呈阴性，支持蜕膜样细胞来源于体腔上皮。雌激素受体和孕激素受体显强阳性。说明妊娠期间，雌激素和孕激素的大量存在对异位蜕膜的形成和生长具有决定性的作用。     

五种螯合剂对大鼠体内微量元素影响的观察

观察了５种常用螯合剂对大鼠体内微量元素排出量、组织分布的变化。结果表明，５种螯合剂可不同程度地增加机体必需微量元素Ｚｎ、Ｃｕ、Ｍｇ和Ｃａ经尿液排出量。ＥＤＴＡ和ＤＴＰＡ的影响尤为明显。ＥＤＴＡ和ＤＴＰＡ可使Ｚｎ经尿液的排出量增加１６－５２倍，ＤＴＰＡ使肝脏Ｚｎ含量减少１５．９％（Ｐ〈０．０５），肝脏Ｃｕ含量下降６０％（Ｐ〈０．０５）。ＥＤＴＡ和ＤＴＰＡ注射后，肾中Ｚｎ含量明显增高，相当对照大鼠３．     

An analysis of edentulous maxillary arch width and palatal height.

This study involving 500 edentulous patients (250 males, 250 females) was undertaken to introduce a dimensionless factor termed the "palatal height ratio," defined as the ratio of the width of the edentulous maxillary arch to the height of the palate. The authors categorized the height, width, and anteroposterior dimensions of the edentulous maxillae. Measurements were made on diagnostic casts at five defined points. The difference between males and females was statistically analyzed and the variables were categorized. The results of this study may be helpful for a better standardization of the same variables in future studies.     

The KBG syndrome: confirmation of autosomal dominant inheritance and further delineation of the phenotype

We report on a Turkish family in which the father and his two sons were diagnosed as having the KBG syndrome. Large upper central incisors were the diagnostic finding in all three patients along with mental retardation, cryptorchidism, skeletal abnormalities, and short stature. Our report clearly confirms that the inheritance is autosomal dominant in KBG syndrome, although a high male to female ratio has been observed in published cases.     

超声成像的相位偏差校正

由于人体组织的各向异性，超声成像中存在相位偏差。相差制约了超声成像分辨率的进一步提高。互相关及其类似相位估计技术可以用于相差校正，jitter是此类算法的基本限制。并行自适应接收补偿算法可以校正较小的相差，结合互相关技术能够得到比较理想的相差校正效果。     

IL—6基因转染的瘤苗体内诱导的抗肿瘤免疫功能与效果

经丝裂霉素C体外处理后,将IL-6基因转染的、高分泌的IL-6的B16黑色素瘤细胞制成瘤苗。结果发现,体内注射IL-6基因转染的瘤苗后,小鼠脾脏CTL活性、NK活性及IL-2诱导的LAK活性显著升高。经IL-6基因转染瘤苗体内治疗后,荷瘤小鼠的皮下肿瘤生长显著减慢、肺转移结节数显著降低、存活期显著延长,若同时合用低剂量IL-2,则上述治疗效果更好。可见IL-6基因转染的瘤苗能有效地通过诱导机体抗肿瘤免疫功能而发挥抗肿瘤作用,与低剂量IL-2合用后,IL-6基因转染的瘤苗的抗肿瘤效果更佳。     

Structural change in dopamine D2 receptor gene in a patient with neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Dysfunction of the dopaminergic system has been suggested as a pathogenic mechanism in neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Therefore, we examined the complete coding sequences of the dopamine D₂ receptor (DRD₂) gene for structural abnormalities in 12 patients with a history of NMS, including two cases of familial NMS. Mutational analysis was performed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), a highly sensitive technique for detecting sequence differences. We found in one patient with a history of NMS a nucleotide substitution at codon 310 (CCG→TCG) of exon 7 of the DRD₂ gene which predicts the replacement of proline to serine in the third cytoplasmic loop of the receptor, a part of the receptor that interacts with G-proteins. A larger series of patients with NMS needs to be investigated to establish whether this allele is associated with an increased susceptibility to NMS. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
