目的探讨第三脑室脑膜瘤的组织发生学、临床特点和外科治疗。方法报道9例经影像学、手术和病理学证实的第三脑室脑膜瘤，并回顾相关文献。结果第三脑室前部脑膜瘤5例，第三脑室后部脑膜瘤4例，平均发病年龄25．6岁，无明显性别差异；最常见的症状是梗阻性脑积水，缺乏硬脑膜附着为其影像学特征。肿瘤全切除6例。结论第三脑室脑膜瘤是一种罕见的脑室内脑膜瘤，起源于中间帆脉络组织或脉络丛，经半球间裂-胼胝体-穹隆间入路是合理的手术路径选择。     

Development of anti-G suits and their limitations

Initial anti-G suits were based on the belief that decreased venous return was the critical effect of increased weight of blood during acceleration. Cumbersome water filled, pneumatic gradient or pulsatile pressure suits resulted. Subsequent centrifuge studies implicated arterial pressure, rather than venous return, as the major determinant of G tolerance in the sitting position. Consequently, methods of increasing arterial pressure were developed. Findings that the hypertensive, associated anti-blackout and discomfort effects of suit inflation all increase with bladder system pressure up to arterial occlusive levels resulted in the simplified G-suit used in W.W.II to the present. Recent +Gz loss of consciousness crashes indicate current straining maneuvers plus this suit are inadequate. Furthermore, because of very high pressures to maintain cerebral circulation in the sitting position, very high G suit protection is hazardous. If piloting is essential for full use of super performance fighters, the prone position with counter-weighted head support plus omni-directional surveilance is the surest strategem to obtain this advantage.

C端序列的删除对非出血重组蛇毒纤溶酶的影响

[目的]研究C端序列对非出血重组纤溶酶(rFⅡ)特异性、活性和热敏感性的影响.[方法]通过SOEing PCR方法构建删除C端序列的突变体,突变体和rFⅡ分别在P.pastoris中诱导表达.表达和纯化的蛋白用SDS-PAGE和Westeren blot进行鉴定.之后分析其生化特性.[结果]rFⅡ及突变体通过SDS-PAGE和Westeren blot得到证实.生化分析揭示:①突变体对显色底物N-(p-Tosyl)-Gly-Pro-Lys-pNA的催化效率(Kcat/Km)是rFⅡ的1.9倍;②突变体和rFⅡ对氧化的胰岛素B链拥有共同的优先裂解位点,可是在随后的裂解中开始展现差异;③突变体显示了更高的纤(原)活性;④热处理表明突变体相较r FⅡ对温度的增加更敏感;⑤通过圆二色谱测量,突变体的螺旋比例有所增加.[结论]删除的序列参与rFⅡ的特异性、活性和热敏感性,该序列可作为下一步优化的候选序列.     

Predictors of oral health quality of life in older adults

There is limited information regarding oral health status and other predictors of oral health‐related quality of life. An association between oral health status and perceived oral health‐related quality of life (OHQOL) might help clinicians motivate patients to prevent oral diseases and improve the outcome of some dental public health programs. This study evaluated the relationship between older persons' OHQOL and their functional dentition, caries, periodontal status, chronic diseases, and some demographic characteristics. A group of 733 low‐income elders (mean age 72.7 ISD=4.71, 55.6% women, 55.1% members of ethnic minority groups in the U.S. and Canada) enrolled in the TEETH clinical trial were interviewed and examined as part of their fifth annual visit for the trial. OHQOL was measured by the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI); oral health and occlusal status by clinical exams and the Eichner Index; and demographics via interviews. Elders who completed the four‐year assessment had an average of 21.5 teeth (SD=6.9). with 8.5 occluding pairs (SD=4.6), and 32% with occlusal contacts in all four occluding zones. Stepwise multiple regressions were conducted to predict total GOHAI and its subscores (Physical, Social, and Worry). Functional dentition was a less significant predictor than ethnicity and being foreign‐bom. These variables, together with gender, years since immigrating, number of carious roots, and periodontal status, could predict 32% of the variance in total GOHAI, 24% in Physical, 27% in Social, and 21 % in the Worry subscales. These findings suggest that functional dentition and caries influence older adults' OHQOL, but that ethnicity and immigrant status play a larger role.
