ISOLATION OF VIRULENT TREPONEMA PALLIDUM FRQM HUMAN AORTA THIRTY-TWO HOURS AFTER DEATH FROM CARDIOVASCULAR SYPHILIS

After a comprehensive rernew of the literature on syphilitic aortitis, Longcope, (1) stated in 1913; ": . . . the presence of spiro: chetes in these lesions, as might be expected, cannot by any means be constantly demonstrated with Levaaiti stain. . . . . . . That these organisms are ''Treponema pallidum seems almost certain thouS:h actual proof of such by culture from the arterial lesions, a most difficult task, or direct inoculation into animals, has not as yet been accomplished."

乳房聚丙烯酰胺水凝胶取出术的手术配合

对81例患者行乳房内聚丙烯酰胺水凝胶（PAHG）取出术。结果手术均获成功，手术时间1．5～5．5h，平均2．6h。术中出血量90～1080ml，平均645．0ml。住院时间7～15d，平均8．9d。无血肿、感染等并发症，MRI复查PAHG清除率均达95．0％。提出术前加强心理护理并完善术前准备，术中密切监测生命体征和出入量，及时补充血容量，保证手术野照明，充分灌洗手术腔隙，减少PAHG在体内残留等措施是保证手术成功的重要环节。     

被美术馆环绕的工厂

2005年4月中旬，应EIZO Nanao Corporation的邀请，我们来到日本对EIZO公司进行了参观访问。以为只是一个例行公务的采访，没想到的是，几天的行程下来，又因为几座美术馆，而让我对EIZO有了新的看法，并且有了意外的收获。     

腹腔镜肝切除术患者的护理

笔者报道腹腔镜肝切除术患者的护理。术前进行心理护理和呼吸训练；术后注意早期活动，加强腹腔镜CO2气腹后的观察、护理，做好皮下气肿、胆漏、出血、高碳酸血症和下肢静脉血栓等术后并发症的观察及护理。认为周到细致的护理是手术成功的重要保证。

在模型上应用Cerec Ⅲ制作全瓷冠

目的:应用间接法制作cerecⅢ全瓷冠,避免了直接法的缺点,使完成的修复体更为精确.方法:从2002年1月至2003年7月采用间接法制备cerecⅢ全瓷冠35个单位,对后牙采用功能法进行设计;对前牙采用数据库法进行设计.戴牙后1个月随访检测颈缘密贴性、牙周状况和与邻牙的邻接状况.结果:后牙采用功能法制备,在模型上调改较少,而前牙采用数据库法制备,在模型上调改较多.戴入患者口内1个月有一后牙病例破损.其它病例全瓷冠颈缘与基牙肩台密贴,与邻牙的邻接状况良好,牙周状况未见异常.结论:对于大多数CerecⅢ的初学者来说,应用间接法可利用较长的时间来反复制取光学印模,光学印模较直接法更准确.还可更为精细地进行修复体的设计并在模型上调改精修修复体.完成修复体后也会有较长时间来总结经验.     

Effect of hepatitis C antibody screening in blood donors on post-transfusion hepatitis in Taiwan

A national screening programme for antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in blood donors in Taiwan began in July 1992 using a second-generation immunoassay. To study the impact of this screening on post-transfusion hepatitis in Taiwan, a prospective study on post-transfusion hepatitis, that was started in 1987, was continued. As of June 1994, 245 patients who received a blood transfusion after July 1992 had completed a follow-up period for more than 6 months post-transfusion. Of them, seven (2.8%) recipients developed acute post-transfusion hepatitis. The hepatitis in six cases could not be attributed to infection by hepatitis A, B, C, D, E viruses or cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The remaining patient seroconverted to both IgG and IgM anti-CMV. All seven patients recovered in 6 months without development of chronicity, and the mean peak alanine aminotransferase level was lower compared with that of the cases before anti-HCV screening (i.e. pre-July 1992). These results indicate that the current anti-HCV screening has effectively interrupted HCV transmission through blood transfusion in Taiwan.     

AUGMENTATION OF ANGIOTENSIN II RELEASE FROM ISOLATED MESENTERIC ARTERIES OF WISTAR-KYOTO AND SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RATS FOLLOWING NEPHRECTOMY

1. We previously reported that angiotensin II release from the mesenteric arteries of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) increased in a time-dependent manner as a result of the isolation of the arteries and perfusion. This phenomenon appeared to be due to the withdrawal of circulating angiotensin II (AII). 2. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that vascular AII generation may be negatively regulated by circulating AII in WKY and SHR, and to clarify the role of this vascular angiotensin II in the sustained hypertension of SHR following nephrectomy. 3. The mesenteric arteries from kidney-intact and nephrectomized WKY and SHR were perfused and the amount of AII released into the perfusate was measured. The effects of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, and the effects of supplementation of renal renin and circulating angiotensins to nephrectomized rats, by blood exchange between kidney-intact and nephrectomized rats, on AII release were examined to clarify the pathway of vascular AII generation after nephrectomy. 4. Nephrectomy caused augmentation of vascular AII release both in WKY and SHR in spite of the abolishment of circulating renin. Captopril reduced this enhanced release of AII, but blood exchange did not affect it. There was no significant difference in these responses between WKY and SHR. 5. These results suggest that WKY and SHR have in common a potent pathway for production of vascular AII in response to the withdrawal of circulating AII, although this pathway is not responsible for the sustained hypertension of SHR after nephrectomy. The precise pathophysiological role of this pathway remains to be elucidated.
