不同时期军队疗养员消化性溃疡的流行病学调查分析和对比

目的分析对比不同时期军队疗养员消化性溃疡（PU）的患病情况。方法采用相同的病史采集和问卷调查法，以胃镜检查资料为确诊手段，对1990年和2005年两个年度的疗养员进行消化性溃疡流行病学调查。结果1990年军队疗养员消化性溃疡的患病率为158／1168人（13．53％）；2005年为56／1239人（4．52％），二者相比有显著性差异P〈0．01。结论由于保健意识、生活方式和药物治疗的干预，十五年间，军队疗养员消化性溃疡的发病率显著下降。     

Lack of evidence for an impairment of tuberoinfundibolar dopaminergic neurons in aged male rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain

Circulating prolactin (PRL) levels, dopamine (DA) content, in vitro basal and stimulus-evoked endogenous DA release from arcuate-periventricular nuclei median-eminence fragments were studied in young (4 months) and old (24-25 months) male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain. Serum PRL levels did not differ in young and aged animals. In addition DA tissue content, basal and K+- or d-amphetamine evoked endogenous DA release did not show age-related differences. These results suggest that in male rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain the activity of tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons does not change during senescence, unlike what happens in other strains of rats.     

Palliation of cardiac malformations associated with right isomerism (asplenia syndrome) in infancy

Right isomerism is characterized by the combination of an obstructed pulmonary outflow tract and a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), which is obstructed in nearly half of the patients. Fourteen patients less than 2 years of age with right isomerism have been seen in our unit. Thirteen of them underwent palliation consisting of a systemic-pulmonary shunt (10 patients) or a combination of shunt and TAPVC repair (3). There were 7 hospital deaths (54%). The presence of obstructed pulmonary venous drainage was the major risk factor in the surgical treatment of these complex cardiac anomalies (p less than .02). Guidelines for the palliative management of right isomerism are suggested.     

Therapeutic apheresis in low weight patients: technical feasibility, tolerance, compliance, and risks.

The use of therapeutic apheresis in very low weight patients is generally thought to have limitations, because of possible severe adverse reactions, potential risk related to the extracorporeal procedure, due to the low weight of the young patients. A careful therapeutic approach using appropriate precautions, and also introducing modifications to the standard procedure, can minimise the risk without compromising the efficacy of the plasmapheresis. The aim of the study was to evaluate apheresis tolerance and acceptability in children [Artif. Organs. 21 (1997) 1126] and infants [J. Clin. Apheresis 5 (1989) 21] with inherited lipid metabolism disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), primary hyperlipoproteinemia (lipoprotein phenotype I), and acute leukemia, weighing on average 20.55 kg. One thousand one hundred twenty three aphereses were completed. Three types of apheresis were performed: leukapheresis, plasma exchange, dextran sulphate cellulose (DSC) low density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis. Three different types of continuous flow systems were used. Technical adaptation depending on patients blood volume, body mass index, hematocrit, type of system used, permitted us to perform complete aphereses, obtaining a high degree of tolerance and acceptability of the treatment. The use of plasmapheresis is regarded to be an extreme therapeutic measure in children. However, when the need for such treatment is undebatable, plasmapheresis must be done. A well-trained and experienced team can overcome the technical difficulties in order to complete the procedures without complications. The most frequently observed adverse effects are vascular relative access insufficiency (2.0%), and mild hypotension (2.0%).     

大白鼠皮肤Ⅱ度、Ⅲ度碱烧伤模型复制

目的 根据大白鼠皮肤碱烧伤创面早期病理组织学观察复制Ⅱ、Ⅲ度碱烧伤模型,研究碱烧伤的临床治疗.方法 Wistar纯种健康大白鼠20只,以不同浓度2mol/l、2.5mol/l、5mol/lNaOH,作用时间分别为30秒、45秒、60秒、75秒,涂抹于脱毛后的表皮.结果 2mol/L(60s)、2.5mol/L(45s),5mol/L(30s)即可直接造成Ⅱ度～深Ⅱ度烧伤;2mol/L(75s)、2.5mol/L(60s)、5 mol/L(45s)即可造成Ⅲ度烧伤,其烧伤深度与NaOH溶液浓度和作用时间呈正比.结论 Ⅱ度、Ⅲ度碱烧伤均为渐进性烧伤,与文献中介绍的潜拙样损伤似乎不同.另外,不同浓度NaOH溶液在相同时间对皮肤组织的损伤及同一浓度NaOH溶液在不同时间对大白鼠皮肤的损伤病理学变化均有差异.
