Endoscopic pH monitoring for patients with suspected or refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease.

BACKGROUND: Wireless pH studies can offer prolonged pH monitoring, which may potentially facilitate the diagnosis and management of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the detection rate of abnormal esophageal acid exposure using prolonged pH monitoring in patients with suspected or refractory GERD symptoms. METHODS: Patients undergoing prolonged ambulatory pH studies for the evaluation of GERD-related symptoms were assessed. Patients with a known diagnosis of GERD were tested on medical therapy, while patients with suspected GERD were tested off therapy. The wireless pH capsules were placed during upper endoscopy 6 cm above the squamocolumnar junction. RESULTS: One hundred ninety-one patients underwent a total of 198 pH studies. Fifty ambulatory pH studies (25%) were excluded from the analysis: 27 patients (14%) had insufficient data capture (less than 18 h on at least one day of monitoring), 15 patients had premature capsule release (7%), seven were repeat studies (3.5%) and one had intolerable pain requiring capsule removal (0.5%). There were 115 patients undergoing pH studies who were off medication, and 33 patients were on therapy. For the two groups of patients, results were as follows: 32 (28%) and 22 (67%) patients with normal studies on both days; 58 (50%) and five (15%) patients with abnormal studies on both days; 18 (16%) and three (9%) patients with abnormal studies on day 1 only; and seven (6%) and three (9%) patients with abnormal studies on day 2 only, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged 48 h pH monitoring can detect more abnormal esophageal acid exposure but is associated with a significant rate of incomplete studies.     

靶重建放大扫描对肺孤立性结节病变的诊断意义

目的：探讨靶重建放大扫描技术对肺孤立性结节病变的诊断价值。方法：对63例患者先行常规CT平扫，选定结节处为兴趣区，行薄层靶重建放大扫描，层厚、层距为2mm，FOV为160。结果：42例恶性病变中有37例表现为深分叶，占88．1％；21例良性病变中有15例表现为浅分叶，占71．4％。恶性结节中15例内部出现条状低密度支气管征；7例出现血管集中征；8例出现空泡征；病变内部出现液化坏死13例，其中恶性病变ll例。22例出现钙化，包括12例良性病变和10例恶性病变。2例错构瘤内均见小面积脂肪性低密度影。结论：靶重建放大扫描比普通CT扫描可提供更多的信息，对良恶性病变的鉴别诊断有一定价值。恶性病变大多数为深分叶，良性病变大多数为浅分叶或无分叶。     

护士对护理记录理解的偏差及对策

一般护理记录单是住院病历的一部分，根据卫生部、中医药管理局公布的《病历书写基本规范》（试行）的规定，一般护理记录的定义是：护士根据医嘱和病情对一般病人住院期间护理过程的客观记录，内容包括病人姓名、记录日期和时间、病情观察、护理措施和效果、护士签名。现将护士在一般护理书写中存在认识上的理解偏差分析如下。     

抗凝剂对AFU活性的影响

α-L-岩藻糖苷酶（AFU），是一种溶酶体酸性水解酶，广泛分布于机体组织细胞一血液和体液内，参与含岩藻糖基的糖蛋白、糖脂的分解代谢。血清AFU测定对原发性肝癌诊断的阳性率在64％～84％之间，特异性在90％左右。AFU以其对检出小肝癌的高敏感性，对预报肝硬变并发肝癌的高特异性，和与AFP测定的良好互补性，而越来越被公认为是肝癌诊断、随访和肝硬变监护的不可或缺的手段。许多文献都主张联合检测AFU和AFP活性，对肝癌高发人群的筛查和肝癌的早期诊断有重要意义。笔者在一次偶然机会中，因几位门诊体检人员的血清标本不够而采用EDTA-K，抗凝的血浆测定AFU活性，发现这几个标本AFU结果均明显增高。为了验证是否因EDTA-K：抗凝剂的影响，笔者专门做了以下实验，现将结果报道如下。     

二氧化碳吸收剂中水分对七氟醚分解反应的影响

目的　研究模拟紧闭反应器内干燥的二氧化碳 (CO2 )吸收剂及自身含水对七氟醚分解的影响。方法　在紧闭反应器 (1 6 0ml)内 ,分别装钠石灰、钡石灰、干燥钠石灰和干燥钡石灰 (各 2 5g)。在密闭状态下注入液态的七氟醚 4 0 0 μl,放入 5 0℃水浴内反应 6h ,分别在 5、1 5、30、4 5、6 0min、以后每 30分钟至 36 0分钟采样 ,用气相色谱法分析。测定七氟醚的分解产物。结果　钠石灰组出现复合物A、B ,在其他组七氟醚产生 5种分解产物。复合物A∶干燥钡石灰 >干燥钠石灰 >钡石灰和钠石灰组。干燥钡石灰组明显高于其他两组 (P <0 0 5 )。复合物B∶干燥钡石灰组 <钡石灰组 <干燥钠石灰组 (P <0 0 5 )。复合物C、D、E ,以干燥钡石灰组最为明显 (P <0 0 5 )。各组均未检测到CO。结论　在 5 0℃的紧闭反应器内 ,七氟醚与干燥的CO2 吸收剂反应剧烈 ,未产生CO ;国产钠石灰优于钡石灰 ,在紧闭容器内自身含水可以抑制分解反应     

论传统文化在艾滋病预防中的作用

当前,在艾滋病的防治工作中,对使用避孕套的安全性行为极为重视,而对性行为本身是否需要节制则较少言及.以传统文化去规制性行为具有可能性和可行性,同时,有助于产生自律的行动,阻止艾滋病和性传播疾病的蔓延.     

Efficient high-frequency body coil for high-field MRI.

The use of body coils is favored for homogeneous excitation, and such coils are often paired with surface coils or arrays for sensitive reception in many MRI applications. While the body coil's physical size and resultant electrical length make this circuit difficult to design for any field strength, recent efforts to build efficient body coils for applications at 3T and above have been especially challenging. To meet this challenge, we developed an efficient new transverse electromagnetic (TEM) body coil and demonstrated its use in human studies at field strengths up to 4 T. Head, body, and breast images were acquired within peak power constraints of <8 kW. Bench studies indicate that these body coils are feasible to 8 T. RF shimming was used to remove a high-field-related cardiac imaging artifact in these preliminary studies. P41RR13230     

桡骨远端关节内骨折外固定器治疗的相关机制和原则探讨

目的 分析和探讨桡骨远端关节内骨折外固定器治疗的相关机制和原则.方法 笔者采用Orthofix外固定器和国产组合式外固定器治疗桡骨远端关节内骨折45例46肢,以齐藤英彦法对资料完整的37例38肢病例进行分型,分析其影像学表现、损伤和治疗相关机制以及特点.结果 各型复位方向和外固定腕关节位置均与致伤暴力方向相反.骨折愈合时间平均为43 d(37～62 d),平均随访时间14个月(3～56个月),按Dienst标准评估腕关节功能及疗效:优21例22肢,良10例10肢,可6例6肢.结论 闭合复位外固定能很好地解决桡骨远端关节内骨折的治疗问题,特别适用于粉碎型关节内骨折.其治疗原则是复位方向及腕关节外固定位置与损伤机制、移位情形相反,个别骨折块辅以切开复位时须强调有限切开,必须重视部分病例伴有的同侧桡骨中远段骨折和同侧尺骨远段骨折的处理.
