A case of primary omental torsion presenting as an acute abdominal pain]

Torsion of greater omentum is a rare cause of acute abdomen. However, it should be included in the differential diagnoses in addition to acute cholecystitis, acute appendicitis, cecal diverticulitis, and other variable causes of acute abdomen. Diagnosis is usually made at laparotomy for suspected appendicitis. In some cases, computed tomography demonstrates a successful preoperative detection of omental torsion. We report a case of surgically and pathologically proven torsion with subsequent infarction of greater omentum presented as an acute abdominal pain.     

A new antisense oligonucleotide delivery system based on self-assembled ODN-PEG hybrid conjugate micelles.

The conjugate of antisense c-raf oligonucleotide (ODN) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was synthesized for intracellular ODN delivery. When combined with polyethylenimine (PEI), the ODN-PEG conjugate self-associated to form polyelectrolyte complex micelles in aqueous solution. The effective hydrodynamic diameter of the micelles was ca. 70 nm with a narrow size distribution. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that the cellular uptake of the micelles by A2780 cells was much higher than that of ODN alone. The micelles also showed a superior antiproliferative activity against ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

Parvalbumin 3 is an Abundant Ca2+ Buffer in Hair Cells

Ca2+ signaling serves distinct purposes in different parts of a hair cell. The Ca2+ concentration in stereocilia regulates adaptation and, through rapid transduction-channel reclosure, underlies amplification of mechanical signals. In presynaptic active zones, Ca2+ mediates the exocytotic release of afferent neurotransmitter. At efferent synapses, Ca2+ activates the K+ channels that dominate the inhibitory postsynaptic potential. A copious supply of diffusible protein buffer isolates the three signals by restricting the spread of free Ca2+ and limiting the duration of its action. Using cDNA subtraction and a gene expression assay based on in situ hybridization, we detected abundant expression of mRNAs encoding the Ca2+ buffer parvalbumin 3 in bullfrog saccular and chicken cochlear hair cells. We cloned cDNAs encoding this protein from the corresponding inner-ear libraries and raised antisera against recombinant bullfrog parvalbumin 3. Immunohistochemical labeling indicated that parvalbumin 3 is a prominent Ca2+-binding protein in the compact, cylindrical hair cells of the bullfrog's sacculus, and occurs as well in the narrow, peanut-shaped hair cells of that organ. Using quantitative Western blot analysis, we ascertained that the concentration of parvalbumin 3 in saccular hair cells is approximately 3 mM. Parvalbumin 3 is therefore a significant mobile Ca2+ buffer, and perhaps the dominant buffer, in many types of hair cell. Moreover, parvalbumin 3 provides an early marker for developing hair cells in the frog, chicken, and zebrafish.     

小檗碱对兔颈动脉粥样硬化中内膜增生和巨噬细胞趋化作用的影响

目的观察小檗碱对家兔颈动脉粥样硬化的内膜中膜比和巨噬细胞变化的影响。方法24只雄性日本大耳白兔随机分为3个试验组,正常组每天肌肉注射生理盐水,普通饲料喂养,对照组高脂喂养,1周后行颈动脉内膜空气干燥术并每日肌肉注射生理盐水,小檗碱干预组高脂喂养,1周后行颈动脉内膜空气干燥术并肌肉注射小檗碱,5周时取手术侧的颈动脉做弹力纤维染色,计算内膜中膜比;巨噬细胞免疫组化检测巨噬细胞在颈动脉粥样硬化病变中的变化,计算巨噬细胞的阳性率。结果对照组内膜厚度明显增加,中膜萎缩变薄,经计算I/M为1.20±0.007,小檗碱组的I/M为0.65±0.008。两组间有显著差异(P<0.01);巨噬细胞免疫组化染色对照组内膜下和中膜有大量巨噬细胞,小檗碱干预组内膜和中膜下也可以见有巨噬细胞沉积,通过计算巨噬细胞阳性率,小檗碱干预组的巨噬细胞阳性率明显小于对照组(P<0.01)。结论小檗碱可以降低家兔颈动脉粥样硬化中的血管内膜厚度、减少粥样斑块中的巨噬细胞数目,从而干预颈动脉粥样硬化的形成。     

Cleft lip and palate, sensorineural deafness, and sacral lipoma in two brothers: a possible example of the disorganisation mutant.

We report two brothers of Chinese origin who have an apparently unique syndrome of cleft lip/palate, profound sensorineural deafness, and a sacral lipoma. Additional findings which were not common to both were aberrant digital appendages on the heel and thigh of one boy and an anterior sacral meningocele and dislocated hip in the other. Intelligence is normal in both. Both boys suffer from functional constipation but biopsy studies showed no evidence of Hirschsprung's disease. The parents, who are normal, are not related. Inheritance is probably autosomal or X linked recessive. A possible link with the disorganisation mouse mutant is discussed.     

直肠癌患者手术前后凝血状态变化的研究

目的：通过研究直肠癌患者凝血与纤溶系统的变化，观察其与手术切除与否、淋巴结转移、细胞分化程度等的关系。方法：选取直肠癌患者58例，于术前及术后两周检测PAGT、PT、APTT、TFPI、D－二聚体、t-PA:a等指标；同期52例非肿瘤病人作为对照组。结果：直肠癌患者较对照组血小板聚集增强（P＜0．05），凝血酶原时间、活化部分凝血活酶时间明显缩短，组织因子途径抑制物降低（P＜0．05），D－二聚体和t-PA:a显著升高（P＜0．01），存在淋巴结转移和低分化腺癌者尤为明显（P＜0．05或P＜0．01），手术切除后有所改善。结论：直肠癌患者处于高凝和纤溶亢进状态，在淋巴结转移和癌细胞分化差的病人中尤为明显；应用抗凝和抗纤溶药物可能对直肠癌的预防有一定作用。
