间硝苯地平对血管紧张素Ⅱ促进血管平滑肌细胞增殖和蛋白质合成的影响

以培养血管平滑肌细胞(vascularsmcothmusclecell,VSMC)为模型,观察了间硝苯地平(m-nifedipine,m-Nif)对血管紧张素Ⅱ(angiotensinⅡ,ANGⅡ)促进VSMC增殖和蛋白质合成的影响。结果表明,m-Nif抑制ANGⅡ(100nmol·L^-1)引起VSMC[³H]thymidine和[³H]leucine参入,并呈剂量依赖性。m-Nif(2×10^-6mol·L^-1)可抑制ANGⅡ对VSMC的刺激、DNA及蛋白质合成速率,分别降低了46%,58%,53%。提示m-Nif可抑制ANGⅡ对VSMC增殖和蛋白合成的促进作用。     

Tumoral calcinosis infiltrating the biceps brachii tendon - excision and reconstruction with allograft: a case report

Two patients with limited elbow motion due to tumoral calcinosis underwent resection of calcified masses around the elbow joints. This necessilated removal of the distal two thirds and three fourths of the biceps muscles. The resulting defects were reconstructed with homologous Achilles tendon grafts. Both patients regained M4 muscle power and no recurrences were observed.     

Emergency repair of lacrimal canaliculus

Twenty-three patients with canalicular injuries who underwent emergency treatment are presented. A round-tipped pigtail probe was used to position the silicone tube for canalicular intubation. Four patients had the injury in the common lacrimal canaliculus. After tubing both canaliculi, the silicone tube ends were retrieved from the inferior meatus. The rest of the patients had inferior canalicular injury. In those cases, a circle was formed by a silicone tube between the upper and lower canaliculi. The silicone tube was held in place for 4–6 months. After removal of the silicone tube, the lacrimal drainage system was evaluated by the dye disappearance test and radiological methods. The drainage system was patent in all cases with a consequent lack of epiphora.This study was partly presented at the European Appointed 20th National Congress of the Turkish Society of Plastic Surgeons on 5 September 1998.

Increasing sexually transmitted infection rates in young men having sex with men in the Netherlands, 2006–2012

Background

Men having sex with men (MSM) remain the largest high-risk group involved in on-going transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI), including HIV, in the Netherlands. As risk behaviour may change with age, it is important to explore potential heterogeneity in risks by age. To improve our understanding of this epidemic, we analysed the prevalence of and risk factors for selected STI in MSM attending STI clinics in the Netherlands by age group.

Methods

Analysis of data from the national STI surveillance system for the period 2006–2012. Selected STI were chlamydia, gonorrhoea, infectious syphilis and/or a new HIV infection. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with these selected STI and with overall STI positivity. Analyses were done separately for MSM aged younger than 25 years and MSM aged 25 years and older.

Results

In young MSM a significant increase in positivity rate was seen over time (p?<?0.01), mainly driven by increasing gonorrhoea diagnoses, while in MSM aged 25 and older a significant decrease was observed (p?<?0.01). In multivariate analyses for young MSM, those who were involved in commercial sex were at higher risk (OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2-1.9). For MSM aged 25 years and older this was not the case. Having a previous negative HIV test was protective among older MSM compared to those not tested for HIV before (OR: 0.8, 95% CI: 0.8-0.8), but not among younger MSM.

Conclusions

MSM visiting STI clinics remain a high-risk group for STI infections and transmission, but are not a homogenous group. While in MSM aged older than 25 years, STI positivity rate is decreasing, positivity rate in young MSM increased over time. Therefore specific attention needs to be paid towards targeted counselling and reaching particular MSM sub-groups, taken into account different behavioural profiles.

     

商陆多糖Ⅱ体外对小鼠脾细胞增殖及产生集落刺激因子的影响

用[³H]TdR参入法检测小鼠脾细胞增殖能力及产生集落刺激因子(colony stimulating factor. CSF)含量.证明商陆多糖Ⅱ(PAP-Ⅱ)在31～500 μg·m^-1范围内显著促进小鼠稗细胞增殖。PAP-Ⅱ,31～125 μg·ml^-1可剂量依赖性地促进Con A(1,2.8μg·ml^-1),LPS(3,10,30 μg·ml^-1)诱导的淋巴细胞细咆增殖,随着PAP-Ⅱ剂量加大,对丝裂原诱导的淋巴细胞增殖反呈抑制作用。PAP-Ⅱ。10～500μg·ml^-1呈剂量及时间依赖性地促进脾细胞产生CSF,其最适剂量为100 μg·ml^-1。最佳时间为5 d,提示PAP-Ⅱ能增强免疫及促进造血功能。     

红外光谱法和X-射线粉末衍射法研究棉酚的多晶型

棉酚是棉子中的一种色素,具有广泛生理活性。棉酚、醋酸棉酚、甲酸棉酚曾初步试用于男性节育,但有一定毒副作用,影响了临床进一步试用。目前国内外学者仍在进一步研究。棉酚的结构式如下:
