二尖瓣置换术围手术期硝普钠的应用

本文介绍了20例二尖瓣置换术病人围手术期使用硝普钠的经验。术中和术后早期使用硝普钠可降低肾素-血管紧张素系统的活性、减轻外周血管阻力和后负荷,增强泵血功能,从而使心脏指数升高,降低术后高血压和肺水种的发生率。体外循环停止后,硝普钠与低浓度升压药并用可增强心肌收缩力,预防低排综合征     

A novel DRB1*09 allelic sequence in the Jing ethnic minority of China.

A new DRB1 allele, DRB1*0902, has been identified in an individual of the Jing ethnic minority. Its sequence was confirmed by sequencing of PCR products and clones. This allele differed by three nucleotides from DRB1*09012 at positions 157, 161 and 166, and resulted in amino acid motif substitution from VAES to DAEY.     

超声热疗临床应用的研究

目的：通过超声热疗配合常规放疗治疗晚期恶性肿瘤的临床研究，评价超声热疗的疗效及与疗效有关的加热参数。材料和方法： 对１７ 例晚期恶性肿瘤的１７ 个病灶用常规放疗加超声热疗。放疗用直线加速器外照射，每次２ Ｇｙ、周５ 次， 总剂量４０～７０ Ｇｙ。热疗在放疗后３０ ｍ ｉｎ 内进行，每周加热１～２ 次，每次加温时间 ６０ ｍ ｉｎ，６～８ 次一疗程。全例病人每次加温时实测肿瘤内温度。结果：在可评价的１３例中，ＣＲ ２３．１％ （３／１３）、ＰＲ ４６．２％ （６／１３）、ＮＣ ２３．１％ （３／１３）、ＰＤ ７．７％ （ １／１３） ， 有效率（ＣＲ＋ ＰＲ）为６９．３％ 。肿瘤中心部温度达到４２．５℃以上的累积时间和总加热次数是决定疗效的重要参数。在１７ 例患者的 ８９ 次加温中，副作用的发生率相对较低。结论：使用超声热疗配合放疗，只要实现满负荷加温，进一步提高肿瘤的局部控制率是完全可能的     

Impact of cognitive rehabilitation therapy on neuropsychological impairments as measured by brain perfusion SPECT: a longitudinal study

Three patients,with known brain injury and neuropsychological impairments, are followed through an individualized cognitive rehabilitation programme and post discharge from the treatment programme. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) of the brain was employed to evaluate resting relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during the process of recovery from brain injury. All patients experienced significant improvements on measures of neuropsychological functioning and improvements in rCBF during this longitudinal study. The specific changes in rCBF appear to be related to the location of the patient s brain injury and strategies particular to cognitive rehabilitation therapy. Continued improvements in rCBF, functional abilities, and cognitive skills were documented in these three cases up to 45 months post brain injury.     

胃肠道肿瘤病人围手术期细胞因子及蛋白质代谢的变化

目的 :探讨胃肠道肿瘤病人手术后肿瘤坏死因子 α (TNF α)、白介素 6 (IL 6 )、白介素 10 (IL 10 )的变化以及与蛋白质代谢的关系。　方法 :用酶联免疫法 (ELISA)检测 19例胃肠道肿瘤根治术病人术前和术后 1、3、5天血清TNF α、IL 6和IL 10水平 ,同时检测蛋白质分解代谢相关指标、2 4h尿中尿素和肌酐排泄量。　结果 :胃肠道肿瘤根治术后病人TNF α呈下降趋势 ,术后第 1天较术前明显下降 (P <0 .0 5 )。IL 6和IL 10术后升高 (P <0 .0 1) ,尤以术后第 1天升高明显。术后 2 4h尿中尿素和肌酐排泄量明显升高。　结论 :胃肠道肿瘤根治术后病人IL 6和IL 10的升高支持手术应激导致的细胞因子释放变化 ,但TNF α呈下降趋势 ,可能与胃肠道肿瘤病人术前TNF α的高表达有关。术后蛋白质分解代谢增加 ,可能与细胞因子IL 6和IL 10的升高有关。     

Familial Juvenile Nephronophthisis in Two Siblings — Histological Findings at an Early Stage —

We present two female siblings with familial juvenile nephronophthisis (FJN) which was diagnosed at the early stage of renal failure. Diagnosis was made during the investigation of anemia in case 1 and by a subsequent family survey in case 2. Most patients with FJN are not identified until the terminal stage of renal failure and such cases have rarely been reported in Japan. Case 2 had a reduction in the maximum urinary concentration ability but no azotemia, and among the FJN patients reported in Japan so far she has the least advanced renal disease. Histological examination of the renal biopsy in case 1 showed typical findings of FJN, such as thickening and lamination of the tubular basement membrane (TBM), interstitial fibrosis, and round cell infiltration of the interstitium. In case 2, renal biopsy revealed an irregular marked thickening of the TBM with trivial interstitial changes and a normal glomerular appearance. The histology of these two cases suggests that the TBM may be the primary site affected in FJN.     

Fulminant childhood hemophagocytic syndrome mimicking histiocytic medullary reticulosis. An atypical form of Epstein-Barr virus infection.

Ten cases of pediatric fulminant hemophagocytic syndrome, encountered between 1986 and 1989, are described. They occurred in the summer, and the patients presented with fever, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, coagulopathy, and abnormal liver function. Bone marrow studies revealed infiltration by atypical T-lymphoid cells, rare B immunoblasts, and mature histiocytes with hemophagocytosis. Initially, histiocytic medullary reticulosis was suspected in six cases. The clinical course was characterized by rapid deterioration, with a mean period of 16 days from onset of fever to death. The main causes of death were coagulopathy with multiple organ failure and opportunistic infection. In seven of eight cases studied by serologic assay and Southern blot hybridization, acute or active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection was documented. It is suggested that an atypical or fulminant form of primary EBV infection distinct from classic infectious mononucleosis was prevalent in previously healthy children in Taiwan. Younger age involvement and seasonal clustering were characteristic of the disorder described.
