强直性脊柱炎患者外周血CD62P的表达

目的探讨剖宫产指征的变化情况，分析影响剖宫产率的因素。方法 回顾性分析1393例剖宫产患者的临床资料。结果2年的平均剖宫产率为66．7％，其中2004年的剖宫产率为59．9％，2005年的剖富产率为72．2％，差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。剖宫产率的主要影响因素依次为社会因素（29．43％）、胎儿宫内窘迫（25．13％）、胎位异常（9．62％）、巨大胎儿（7．25％）、中至重度妊娠高血压综合征（6．25％）。结论剖宫产率的上升不只是一个纯医学问题，社会因素使剖宫产指征相对扩大，只有合理掌握剖宫产指征，通过医患双方、社会的共同努力，才能更好地降低剖宫产率。     

强心通脉灵对大鼠急性心肌梗死后心室重构的影响

目的探讨强心通脉灵对急性心肌梗死(AMI)大鼠心室重构(VR)的干预机制。方法选择Wistar大鼠85只,随机分为强心通脉灵大剂量组(QXLmax组)12只、强心通脉灵小剂量组(QXLmin组)14只、卡托普利组11只、模型组15只和假手术组13只,采取冠状动脉结扎造成AMI模型,术后均予口服给药治疗,模型组及假手术组予以相应的生理盐水。4周后处死,放射免疫法测血浆血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)含量,计算左心室质量指数,光镜下观察心尖组织病理形态学改变,采用ABC染色测TGF-β1的表达量。结果模型组及各给药组AngⅡ水平较高,各给药组较模型组有下降趋势,其中QXLmax组较卡托普利组及QXLmin组更低。模型组及各给药组SOD水平较假手术组降低,QXLmax组及QXLmin组较模型组有升高趋势,左心室质量指数模型组较假手术组显著升高,各给药组较假手术组有升高趋势,QXLmax组较QXLmin组及卡托普利组低。卡托普利组及QXLmin组健存心肌细胞周围胶原组织明显减少,QXLmax组病理改变最轻,偶有少量胶原纤维增生。TGF-β1表达QXLmax组较QXLmin组及卡托普利组低(P<0.01)。结论强心通脉灵可降低AMI后大鼠血浆AngⅡ水平,增加SOD活性,降低左心室质量指数及心肌组织TGF-β1表达,从而平稳AMI后VR的进程。     

血半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂C水平对急性脑血管病患者早期肾损害的诊断价值

目的探讨急性脑血管病患者早期肾损害的机制及早期监测指标。方法对194例急性脑血管病患者(包括脑梗死129例,脑出血65例)及60例正常对照者同时测定血半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂C(Cys-C)和血肌酐(SCr)浓度,对其中血Cys-c浓度增高但SCr浓度正常的48例急性脑血管病肾早期损害患者用甘露醇治疗,并检测治疗前后血Cys-c浓度。结果在早期肾损害组,血Cys-c浓度明显高于对照组(P<0.001),而SCr浓度2组无显著性差异(P>0.05)。48例急性脑血管病肾早期损害者经甘露醇治疗后,血Cys-c浓度较治疗前明显降低(P<0.001)。结论血清Cys-c测定有助于早期发现肾功能损害,治疗脑血管病的同时应注意监测肾功能。     

Modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale in Chinese children with obstructive sleep apnea: a retrospective study

Background and objective  The purpose of this study is to assess whether Chinese children with high apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) are sleepier by a modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Materials and methods  Records were retrospectively reviewed. We included children who were between 3 and 12 years old, admitted for overnight polysomnogram because of suspected obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). A modified ESS was used to assess excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) of the children. Results  One hundred ninety-two Chinese children were included. Children with high AHI, defined as AHI > 5.0, were sleepier than children with AHI less than or equal to 5. After adjustment by age, gender, and obesity, children with high AHI remained significantly sleepier. Modified ESS was significantly correlated with AHI (rho = 0.124, 95% CI = 0.004–0.281). Modified ESS score of >8 was the best cutoff point with the sensitivity and specificity of 0.29 and 0.91, respectively. The odds ratio of children with modified ESS > 10 having high AHI was 4.231 (95%CI = 1.248 to 14.338) and children with modified ESS > 8 had the highest odds ratio, 4.295(95%CI = 1.66 to 11.1), of having high AHI. Conclusion   Chinese children with high AHI appear to be sleepier than children with low AHI. Children with suspected OSAS and high modified ESS, i.e., ESS > 8, had significantly higher odds ratio of having high AHI. Increased sleepiness is a specific but not a sensitive symptom in snoring children with high AHI. Screening for EDS in snoring children may help us identify those with high AHI and prioritize the management of those children. All authors worked and the study was carried out in Kwong Wah Hospital in Hong Kong. There was no conflict of interest and no specific source of funding for the study.     

Detection of glaucomatous damage using multifocal ERG

The first‐order kernel analysis in multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) using low contrast stimulation is suggested as a way to detect the inner retinal responses in animal studies. In this case report, this protocol is applied to human patients with glaucoma to demonstrate the possibility of using mfERG as a tool to detect glaucomatous damage. Two patients with glaucoma were recruited and had mfERG measurements with the 103‐scaled hexagonal stimulus pattern at low (50 per cent) contrast. Their responses were analysed and compared with those from normal subjects with the mfERG measured under the same condition. In the normal subjects, there were obvious oscillatory components on the ascending and descending limbs of the first‐order kernel response to 50 per cent contrast. In the glaucomatous patients, the oscillatory component on the descending limb was obviously diminished. In addition, this component was significantly diminished in the quadrant with a glaucomatous visual field defect. This suggests that the low‐contrast stimulation condition in mERG measurement may provide a good way to detect glaucomatous damage and this may help in clinical diagnosis of glaucoma.
