IFN-gamma promotes apoptosis of the uterus and placenta in pregnant rat and human cytotrophoblast cells.

Growth and development of placentas in all pregnancy periods and that of fetuses in late pregnancy were inhibited after administration of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Apoptosis can be detected by TUNEL at the maternal-fetal interface during normal rat pregnancy. Apoptosis locations at the maternal-fetal interface changed according to the period of pregnancy. The results of immunohistochemistry and the DNA ladder assay showed that IFN-gamma could promote the apoptosis levels during the entire pregnancy, but it did not change the apoptosis locations. IFN regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), FasL, and p53 expressions were modulated by IFN-gamma during the entire pregnancy. In vitro cell proliferation assay indicated that IFN-gamma could inhibit proliferation of human cytotrophoblast cells, and flow assay showed that this effect was mainly due to apoptosis induction. TUNEL and Hoechst staining also showed that IFN-gamma could induce apoptosis of human cytotrophoblast cells. Expression of IRF-1 was induced and expression of active caspase-3 was promoted by IFN-gamma treatment, but IFN-gamma did not affect the expression of IFNGR and p53.

中国第一例反垄断案追踪

一向被指“价格过低”而频遭反倾销调查的中国企业,这回却意外地被冠以恰恰相反的“限产保价操纵市场价格”的罪名,遭到来自美国的反垄断调查。这是第一例美国企业依据本国反垄断法指控中国企业的事件。2005年6月12日,华源制药发布公告,其控股企业江山制药接到来自美国的反垄断诉状。至此,国内四大维生素C制造商——维尔康药业、维生药业、东北制药、江山制药已全部接到来自美国的反垄断诉状。中国医药企业首次反垄断之战终于上演。     

医卫湘军:布阵管理年

作为我国工作史上第一次全面反思医院弊病,重塑医院管理的重大举措——“以病人为中心,以提高医疗服务质量为主题”的医院管理年正在各地如火如荼展开。自6月中旬以来,湖南的各级医院开始了自查自纠,全面、客观地分析了医院管理的现状。医院院长们坦言:管理年活动的开展,触及了医院建设中的深层次问题,抓住了医院健康发展的关键。     

一例~(192)Ir极不均匀外照射局部极重度放射损伤的临床观察

目的对１例１９２Ｉｒ极不均匀外照射局部极重度放射损伤病人进行临床观察。方法系统观察了病变的临床过程和应用红外线热成像技术测定了损伤部位的温度变化。结果照射后２小时出现肢体麻木、抽搐，最早照后４小时出现红斑、肿胀，５４小时出现水疱，第５天出现坏死和剧痛，最晚出现红斑、肿胀是照射后４１天，４７天出现水疱和糜烂创面。红外线热成像显示：损伤早期温度升高，水疱、坏死区和损伤后期温度降低，温度升高越早，损伤越重，温度改变区域与损伤范围相一致。结论大剂量极不均匀外照射放射损伤的初期反应早，放射病与局部损伤相互加重病情，症状先后不一，轻重不等，致残率高和疼痛剧烈，红外线热成像温度变化可以作为临床诊断的指标之一。     

牛磺酸对高血压和血管活性物质的影响

本文在原发性高血压(EH)患者,大鼠腹主动脉狭窄的高盐摄入引起高血压模型上,观察到口服牛磺酸治疗4周后均明显降低平均动脉压和收缩压,42.2%的患者血压恢复正常,并能抑制EH患者和高血压大鼠血浆内皮素(ET)和血管紧张素Ⅱ(AⅡ)水平的升高,增加高血压大鼠血浆降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)和主动脉组织中的牛磺酸含量,以上结果表明牛磺酸在降压作用同时伴有缩血管物质的降低和舒血管物质的增加,为牛磺酸抗高血压辅助用药提供依据.     

卡氏肺孢子虫的超微结构观察

采用皮下注射醋酸可的松和低蛋白饲养方法诱发SD大鼠自然感染卡氏肺孢子虫后,取其肺组织,按常规方法进行透射电镜的系统观察。结果除为Yoshida提出的卡氏肺孢子虫生活史的有性增殖和无性增殖循环的最新设想提供了某些形态学依据外,还继Vossen等之后再次发现该病原在1型肺泡上皮细胞内寄生的情况。本文最后就卡氏肺孢子虫对宿主的致病机理进行了讨论。     

Laparoscopic cholecystostomy for acute acalculous cholecystitis

Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) can occur in up to 18% of severely injured patients. Diagnosis is made by positive ultrasound findings of gallbladder sludge, hydrox, and wall thickening. There may also be recent-onset jaundice, positive ultrasound induced Murphy's sign, and unexplained sepsis. Mortality can be as high as 50%. Laparoscopic confirmation was obtained in six ICU trauma patients when omentum was drawn up over a distended gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was done by first directly decompressing the gallbladder through the fundus. This trocar was replaced by a 16 French Foley catheter passed through an Endoloop into the gallbladder and secured by tightening the loop around a cuff of gallbladder. Sepsis resolved in all cases. Only one required subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. LC has a low morbidity and may be life saving during the early stages of AAC. It is not indicated in gangrene or perforation of the gallbladder.     

准分子激光冠状动脉成形术的初步临床应用经验

目的：介绍准分子激光冠状动脉成形术（ＥＬＣＡ）治疗冠状动脉狭窄的临床应用经验。材料和方法：１０例冠心病患者作冠状动脉造影确认有１４支冠状动脉狭窄（狭窄率７０％～７５％者５支，９０％～１００％者９支）。全部病例均作ＥＬＣＡ手术。ＥＬＣＡ采用脉冲间期为１８０－２２０ｍｓｅｃ，光导纤维直径为１．３～１．６ｍｍ，能量密度１４．５～２１．０ｍＪ，激光频率为２０Ｈｚ。ＥＬＣＡ术后辅以球囊扩张血管成形术（ＰＴＣＡ）。结果：９例１３支狭窄动脉中，９支狭窄率＞９０％者，作ＥＬＣＡ＋ＰＴＣＡ成功，其中７支动脉狭窄率减至１５％以下，２支减至４０％～４５％，１例因术中导丝头断裂，失败。成功的９支动脉术后冠状动脉造影示：内膜光滑４支，毛糙３支，夹层动脉瘤１支（２月后随访消失），术中出现血栓１支。术后６个月内造影随访，３例动脉再度狭窄。结论：准分子激光冠状动脉成形术可用于ＰＴＣＡ难以成功的有钙化硬斑、挟窄段较长（＞２．０ｃｍ）和闭塞的冠状动脉，安全有效。但它并不能避免术后再狭窄的发生。     

细小病毒H－1对正常仓鼠肝细胞DNA周期动力学的影响

健康成年金黄仓鼠腹腔内接种ＰＶＨ－１（５×１０６ｐｆｕ），ＦＣＭ动态检测肝细胞ＤＮＡ周期动力学变化，结果显示：ＰＶＨ－１接种后处于Ｇ０＋Ｇ１期的肝细胞与对照组动物相比无显著差异。Ｓ期肝细胞在第３天显著高于对照组动物（Ｐ＜０．０５），且在第７天时仍呈上升趋势，第１４天到３０天趋于正常水平。Ｇ２＋Ｍ期肝细胞在ＰＶＨ－１接种后第３０天升高（Ｐ＜０．０５）。结果提示，动物在ＰＶＨ－１接种后第３到第７天是病毒在肝细胞中的复制高峰，并阻滞仓鼠处于Ｓ期肝细胞分裂进入Ｇ２＋Ｍ期，但是这种阻滞作用较短暂、并可逆，在ＰＶＨ－１接种后１４～３０天自然消失。
