对芸香科芦荟不会发生接触性过敏

芦荟自古就被用作化妆品和药物添加剂，近来更受喜爱。虽应用广泛，但过敏反应罕有报道。作者用芦荟叶的油性提取物、来自整个植株的芦荟粉及浓缩的芦荟凝胶，对相继就诊的702例患者做斑贴试验。设计专门的问卷调查芦荟的使用、使用原因、使用部位、不良反应、患者职业、个人爱好及是否为遗传性过敏体质。患者均未对任一制剂发生任何反应。需对芦荟所含的两种成分加以鉴别：即芦荟叶皮含有的具有促进肠蠕动、潜在抗菌及抗癌特性的蒽醌类物质。     

Troubles psychotiques révélateurs de maladie de Creutzfeldt-Jakob sporadique

The onset of the sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is usually characterized by dementia or neurological symptoms. We are reporting the case of a 31 year-old man with a sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease characterized by a schizophrenia-like onset. The schizophrenic symptoms developed for sixteen months before the neurological symptoms appeared. The psychiatric onset of the present case was linked with the early age of onset and the long duration of the disease and could have been influenced by polymorphism of the codon 129 of the prion protein gene (PRNP) and a type of pathological prion protein (PrPres).     

超短波对大鼠坐骨神经损伤后脊髓内GAP-43和CGRP表达的影响

目的探讨超短波对坐骨神经损伤后大鼠脊髓中GAP-43和CGRP表达的影响。方法60只成年雌性SD大鼠制成右侧坐骨神经钳夹损伤模型，随机分为超短波治疗组和非治疗对照组。免疫荧光方法观察术后1周、2周、4周、8周和12周不同时间点两组大鼠脊髓中GAP-43和CGRP表达的动态变化规律。结果大鼠坐骨神经损伤后脊髓内GAP-43和CGRPmRNA表达增强。术后1、2、4和8周超短波治疗组的变化与对照组比较差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05），且GAP-43的表达在时间上早于对照组。结论超短波在早期能够明显增加GAP-43和CGRP的表达量，提示早期应用超短波治疗能够促进周围神经的
