持续压力超负荷对兔左心室细胞凋亡的影响

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of chronic pressure overload on the apoptosis of the left ventricle myocytes in rabbits. METHODS: Rabbit models of chronic pressure overload-induced heart failure were prepared in which dynamic changes of apoptotic myocytes in the left ventricle were observed by way of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay. RESULTS: Only a few apoptotic cells was observed in the sham-operated group, while in the experimental group, the apoptotic left ventricle myocytes significantly increased after operation, presenting a peak level between day 3 and day 7. Seven days after the operation, the apoptotic myocytes began to decrease and till day 14, the apoptotic cell number had been smaller than that measured on day 1. When signs of heart failure set in, the apoptotic myocytes were again increased (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: During chronic pressure overload, myocyte apoptosis in the left ventricle is elevated at the early stages and undulates subsequently, with the peak occurring before hypertrophy is obvious.     

肠外营养与生长激素联合应用对外科大手术术后患者蛋白代谢的影响

目的观察肠外营养与生长激素联合应用对大手术术后患者蛋白代谢的影响。方法将拟实施外科大手术(四类以上手术)熏APACHE-Ⅱ评分>7分的患者30例,入院后随机分为3组熏A组穴n=10雪押肠外营养治疗与生长激素穴金磊赛增雪联合治疗组(PN+GH)鸦B组穴n=10雪押肠外营养治疗组(PN)鸦C组穴n=10雪押正常补液组。其中A组在术后第2天开始给予生长激素皮下肌注,连续7d。结果术后8d内,B、C组患者均处于负氮平衡状态,血清白蛋白与胰岛素样生长因子-Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ)维持较低水平,A组在术后5d机体开始恢复氮平衡,血清白蛋白与IGF-Ⅰ水平逐渐上升,A组与B、C组比较差异有显著性(P<0.05)。结论较大的外科手术打击后,单纯给予常规的肠外营养要素不能被机体有效的利用,GH能够提高机体对肠外营养要素的利用率,促进机体蛋白合成。     

Angioedema due to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use: Radiographic findings in 3 patients

Angioedema of the oropharynx and hypopharynx due to oral angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors is a potentially life-threatening event and has not been well described in the radiology literature. A retrospective review of the clinical and radiologic findings in three patients with angioedema due to ACE inhibitor use was performed.Our subgroup of patients treated with ACE inhibitors presented with varying degrees of dysphagia, dyspnea, and facial swelling. Plain radiographic findings included enlargement of the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, and prevertebral and submental soft tissue. Computed tomography confirmed extensive retropharyngeal and subcutaneous edema. Clinical symptoms resolved in each case in 24–48 hours with cessation of the ACE inhibitor and concomitant steriod therapy.Our cases demonstrate the typical clinical and radiographic presentation of neck angioedema in the setting of ACE inhibitor use. As ACE inhibitors are increasingly being used as first-line agents in the treatment of hypertension, we caution that neck angioedema may be encountered with increased frequency in adults. Early recognition and immediate intervention result in rapid resolution of this potentially life-threatening event.     

氟康唑食管给药与静脉给药的药代动力学对比研究

目的:进行氟康唑食管给药与静脉给药的药代动力学研究。方法:采用HPLC法测定14名受试者静脉及食管给予氟康唑后经时血浓度,比较药代动力学参数及药物生物利用度变化。结果:两种给药途径,氟康唑主要药代动力学参数Cmax为(13.31±1.38)和(10.93±0.73)μg/ml,Tmax为(1.04±0.19)和(1.74±0.73)h,T1/2为(40.77±7.13)和(40.05±4.90)h,AUC为(271.09±30.48)和(261.93±32.60)μg/ml·h。食管给药生物利用度为(95.93±6.49)%,两种给药途径的生物利用度无统计学差异(P>0.05)。结论:食管给药是一种安全有效的给药方法。     

A study on various symptoms of chronic hepatitis treated with radix astragali and its regulative effect to levels of serum hormone

Sixty-seven cases of chronic hepatitis were treated with Radix Astragali. After treatment (2-month course), the clinical improvement rate in 38 cases of the Stagnation of the Liver-Qi and Deficiency of the Spleen type was 92.1%, and in 26 cases of the Deficiency of Liver Yin and Kidney Yin type was 88.5%, more effective than in the control group (P<0.05). The regulative effect to the levels of serum hormone was observed in the patients of the Stagnation of the Liver-Qi and Deficiency of the Spleen type treated with this medicine. The results showed that the levels of serum triiodothyronine, estradiol (female) and testosterone (male) were increased after treatment (1.40±1.38 ng/dl, 129.30±1.23 pg/ml and 496.24±1.47 ng/dl). Pre-treatment levels were 1.22±1.49 ng/dl, 104.60±1.45 pg/ml and 398. 17±1.55 ng/dl respectively (P<0.05); however, the level of serum prolactin (2.75±4.46 ng/ml) was lower after treatment than before treatment (3.20±3.82 ng/ml,P<0.05). No obvious changes were observed in the levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroxine, triiodothyronine uptake ratio and cortisol after treatment.     

强直性肌营养不良毛细血管的超微结构变化

５例强直性肌营养不良患者的腓肠肌活检标本超微结构研究结果发现，除肌纤维变性、萎缩和结缔组织增生外，毛细血管病变特别突出。血管壁严重增厚，基板呈多层性改变，周细胞增生。有些复层的毛细血管基板多达９层。内皮细胞外可有多层周细胞半包绕血管，有些周细胞又发出分支沿管壁延伸。周细胞一般位于内皮细胞下第一层基板之外，也可位于复层基板之中，周细胞与周细胞之间有多层基板。内皮细胞和周细胞内富含吞饮小泡。血管病变程度与肌纤维变性程度呈平行关系。
