角膜地形图与角膜曲率计在白内障手术前后评价

本文应用计算机辅助的角膜地形图系统TMS-1和角膜曲率计TOPCONOM-4同时测定了200例(278眼)的角膜地形图和中央角膜屈光状态。比较了角膜地形图的模拟角膜曲率SIMK值和角膜曲率计的垂直和水平屈光度。结果显示,白内障术前组116例150眼的SIMK平均值分别为44.22D(垂直轴)和44.26D(水平轴),角膜曲率计的中央屈光度垂直轴平均为44.16D,水平轴为44.23D。统计学处理表明,2种组方法的结果之间差异无显著性(P>0.05),第2种术后组67例90眼的SIMK平均值分别为46.37D(垂直轴)和43.06D(水平轴),角膜曲率计的中央屈光度垂直轴平均为46.09D,水平轴平均为42.88D,统计学处理二种方法的结果之间差异无显著性(P>0.05)。研究提示,角膜地形图系统的模拟角膜曲率SIMK值和角膜曲率计的屈光度无论在白内障手术前还是在手术后其结果是一致的,临床应用具有同等的价值。但是,当角膜中央屈光度异常范围小于3毫米,角膜混浊,角膜严重不规则散光时,角膜曲率计不能满足临床需要。而计算机辅助的角膜地形图系统则具有极大的诊断及检测价值。眼科学报 1994;10:85—89。     

石刻雕塑作业劳动卫生学调查及实验研究

测定了石雕作业粉尘浓度，几何平均浓度为８２．３５～３．６７ｍｇ／ｍ３。工人职业性健康检查结果，接尘工人的咽部充血、咳嗽、咯痰检出率高于对照组；肺功能低下的检出率也高于对照组。该厂自１９７２年以来发生尘肺患者１７例，其病情发展和晋期缓慢，发病工龄长。动物实验研究表明，石雕粉尘有轻微的致纤维化作用。     

汤岗子矿泉浴对大鼠血液皮质醇及甲状腺素日生物周期节律影响的实验观察

本文报告大鼠分别在6时、12时、18时、24时接受汤岗子矿泉38～39℃浸浴15分钟后,立即断头取血测定血液皮质醇及甲状腺素(T_4)。在6时、24时的矿泉浸浴组大鼠血浆皮质醇比对照组明显升高。在12时、18时矿泉浸浴组大鼠血清T_4比对照组明显升高。说明肾上腺皮质及甲状腺功能对全身矿泉浸浴热刺激的反应也遵循日周期节律。为矿泉治疗的时间生物学理论提供依据。     

Evaluation of hypothesis testing for comparing two populations using NONMEM analysis.

In a simulation study of inference on population pharmacokinetic parameters, two methods of performing tests of hypotheses comparing two populations using NONMEM were evaluated. These two methods are the test based upon 95% confidence intervals and the likelihood ratio test. Data were simulated according to a monoexponential model and, in that context, power curves for each test were generated for (i) the ratio of mean clearance and (ii) the ratio of the population standard deviations of clearance. To generate the power curves, a range of these parameters was employed; other pharmacokinetic parameters were selected to reflect the variability typically present in a Phase II clinical trial. For tests comparing the means, the confidence interval tests had approximately the same power as the likelihood ratio tests and were consistently more faithful to the nominal level of significance. For comparison of the standard deviations, and when the volume of information available was relatively small, however, the likelihood ratio test was more able to detect differences between the two groups. These results were then compared to results on parameter estimation in order to gain insight into the question of power. As an example, the nonnormality of estimates of the ratio of standard deviations plays an important role in explaining the low power for the confidence interval tests. We conclude that, except for the situation of modeling standard deviations with only sparse information, NONMEM produces tests of significance that are effective at detecting clinically significant differences between two populations.     

An anti-CD44 antibody does not enhance engraftment of DLA-identical marrow after low-dose total body irradiation

920 cGy total body irradiation (TBI) is adequate for consistently successful engraftment of marrow from dog leukocyte antigen (DLA)-identical littermates; however, the dose is inadequate to ensure a marrow graft from DLA-nonidentical unrelated donors. Such mismatched grafts are successful only after 1800 cGy, given in three fractions. While anti-T-cell reagents enhance engraftment of DLA-identical littermate marrow after 920 cGy, they fail to be effective in the DLA-nonidentical setting. However, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to CD44, S5, was found to be very effective in enhancing engraftment of DLA-nonidentical marrow. The current study asked whether mAb S5 was also effective in the setting of DLA-identical littermate transplants. To this purpose, the TBI dose was lowered to 450 cGy, a dose after which 70% of such grafts failed. Four dogs were treated with antibody S5, 0.2 mg/kg on days −7 though −2 (per previously published protocol), given 450 cGy TBI followed by marrow grafts from their DLA-identical littermates. All four dogs rejected their grafts; two of these died from marrow aplasia, and two survived with endogenous marrow recovery. This result was not statistically significantly different from that in 17, historical (n = 5) and concurrent (n = 12), control dogs where 11 of 17 animals rejected. Even if ten experimental animals were transplanted and all six remaining dogs engrafted, the results still would not have been significantly different from control. This result is in contrast to the successful engraftment promoted by pretreatment with antibody S5 of DLA-nonidentical unrelated dogs, consistent with the notion that different host cells are involved in graft rejection in the two disparate histocompatibility settings.

糖对椰酵假单胞菌产毒性能的影响研究

以半固体ＬＡ和营养琼脂为基础培养基，分别加入葡萄糖、蔗糖、可溶性淀粉、甘油等４种成分，研究糖分对椰酵假单胞菌产毒性能影响。结果表明，椰酵假单胞菌在营养琼脂和ＬＡ半固体基础培养基上基本不产毒或产毒量很低，而葡萄糖和甘油的加入使椰酵假单胞菌的产毒能力大幅度提高，产毒量不低于在马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂（ＰＤＡ）中，提示了糖代谢在椰酵假单胞菌生长和产毒过程中的重要作用。建议将ＬＤＡ（含葡萄糖的ＬＡ，新设计）半固体做为一种新的椰酵假单胞菌产毒培养基，有利于实验室研究及不同实验室间的质量控制
