Survival and developmental disability in infants with birth weights of 501 to 800 grams, born between 1979 and 1994

OBJECTIVE: Because the survival rate has increased for extremely low birth weight neonates, many have raised the concern that the rate of developmental disability among survivors will also increase. To address this concern, we analyzed changes over time in survival and major neurosensory impairment in a sample of extremely low birth weight infants born between July 1, 1979, and June 30, 1994. METHODS: The study sample included 513 infants with birth weights of 501 to 800 g who were cared for in either of the two neonatal intensive care units that serve a 17-county region in northwest North Carolina and who were born to mothers residing in that region. At 1 year of age (corrected for gestation), survivors were examined by a pediatrician and were tested using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Major neurosensory impairment was defined as cerebral palsy, a Bayley Mental Developmental Index <68, or blindness. A total of 209/216 (97%) of survivors were examined at 1 year of age. Epoch of birth was defined as follows: epoch 1, July 1, 1979 to June 30, 1984; epoch 2, July 1, 1984 to June 30, 1989; and epoch 3, July 1, 1989 to June 30, 1994. RESULTS: Survival rates for epochs 1, 2, and 3 were, respectively, 24/120 (20%), 63/175 (36%), and 129/218 (59%). In contrast, the proportions with a major neurosensory impairment did not increase over time; rates for successive epochs were 6/24 (25%), 17/61 (28%), and 26/124 (21%). Rates of cerebral palsy were 3/24 (13%), 12/61 (20%), and 9/124 (7%); rates of delayed mental development were 4/24 (17%), 12/61 (20%), and 17/124 (14%); and rates of blindness were 2/24 (8%), 0/62, and 5/124 (4%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis suggests that the increasing survival of extremely low birth weight neonates since the late 1970s has not resulted in an increased rate of major developmental problems identifiable at 1 year of age.     

妊娠期糖尿病患者高密度脂蛋白糖基化与妊高征发病的关系

目的：了解妊娠期糖尿病孕妇体内高密度脂蛋白（ＨＤＬ）糖化程度及受体代谢途径情况，探讨其与妊高征发病的关系。方法：用荧光法测定妊娠期糖尿病患者糖化血红蛋白，≤８．０％为组Ⅰ，共３２例、＞８．０％为组Ⅱ，共３４例，并测定正常妊娠组３６例及正常非妊娠组３２例ＨＤＬ糖化值。用酶联免疫受体法观察ＨＤＬ与培养的人胚肺成纤维细胞表面受体特异结合情况。结果：妊娠期糖尿病患者组Ⅰ、组ⅡＨＤＬ糖化值明显高于正常妊娠组和正常非妊娠组（Ｐ＜０．０１）。其细胞结合、摄入和降解糖化ＨＤＬ均较正常妊娠组和正常非妊娠组升高，使细胞内总胆固醇含量升高（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结论：妊娠期糖尿病患者ＨＤＬ糖化值含量的变化及脂质沉积，可能是妊高征小动脉痉挛的原因之一。     

延髓损伤可能会引发局限型和广泛型急性胃粘膜出血

目的：通过动物实验，观察延髓损伤引起胃粘膜出血的表现形式和特点。方法：对１９只成年健康杂种狗，进行延髓一侧性损伤手术（１３只）和对照假损伤性手术（６只）；在损伤后，对胃粘膜表现进行胃镜的动态观察。结果：延髓损伤，可引起胃粘膜出血，而且发生率很高，达１００％；胃粘膜出血的严重程度及其预后有轻、重不同。结论：分析观察结果后认为：胃粘膜出血分可能有局限型和广泛型两个类型；延髓损伤的严重程度与胃粘膜出血的类型密切相关。     

妊高征孕妇血浆硒水平与红细胞内谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的关系

目的 探讨妊高征孕妇血浆中硒浓度与红细胞内谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的关系.方法 应用原子吸收法及细胞化学发光检测法测定49例妊高征孕妇(妊高征组)和34例正常孕妇(正常妊娠组)血浆中硒的水平及红细胞内谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-PX)的浓度.结果 妊高征组血浆硒水平及红细胞内GSH-PX浓度明显低于正常妊娠组,而且孕妇血浆中硒水平与红细胞内GSH-PX浓度之间呈直线回归关系,即随着血浆硒水平的升高,红细胞内GSH-PX也升高.结论 孕妇血浆硒水平与红细胞内GSH-PX浓度与妊高征的发病有一定的关系.

双特异性抗体治疗肿瘤的可行性研究

肽图分析是验证rhIL-2的重要手段之一.rhIL-2具有133个氨基酸,在其一级结构的序列中有四个甲硫氨酸切点,可用化学裂解的方法将甲硫氨酸肽键打开,进行肽谱分析,以对其进行验证.为了有效地对甲硫氨酸进行裂解,我们用70%甲酸溶解CNBr~2,保持CNBr的高浓度小体积,使rhIL-2在1.5mlEppedorf管中,室温条件下有效地打开甲硫氨酸肽键.同时比较了CNBr浓度、裂解时间以及在不同浓度的梯度胶中作SDS-PAGE对实验结果的影响,确定了最佳的实验条件,获得了良好的实验结果.本文虽以rhIL-2为例,但对所有带甲硫氨酸的细胞因子均可用本方法进行肽图分析.     

Absence of 185delAG mutation of the BRCA1 gene and 6174delT mutation of the BRCA2 gene in Ashkenazi Jewish men with prostate cancer.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a clustering of breast and prostate cancers in some families. Moreover, there is an increase in the number of cases of prostate cancer in families with inherited mutations of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1. We assessed the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in prostate cancer. We tested for the BRCA1 185delAG frameshift mutation, found in 0.9% of Ashkenazi Jews, and the BRCA2 6174delT mutation, found in 1% of Ashkenazi Jews, in Ashkenazi Jewish men with prostate cancer. We studied 60 Ashkenazi men with prostate cancer. A family history was obtained by interview or a self-report questionnaire. Histological confirmation of diagnosis was obtained for all subjects. Ethnic background was confirmed for all subjects by self-report or interview. Mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 were detected by amplification of lymphocyte DNA from peripheral blood according to standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and dot blot procedures. Patients'' ages ranged from 55 to 80 years (mean +/- s.d. 70 +/- 5.25). There were six men with a family history of prostate cancer; three of these had a father with prostate cancer. Five of the men had a family history of breast cancer, in a mother, a sister or an aunt. None of the men had a family history of both breast and prostate cancer. None of the 60 men carried the 185delAG BRCA1 or 6174delT BRCA2 mutations. Of 268 Ashkenazi Jewish women with sporadic breast cancer, tested in an unrelated study, 16 carried either the 185delAG mutation of BRCA1 or the 6174delT mutation of BRCA2. There was a significant difference in the incidence of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in the breast and prostate cancer cases (P = 0.05, two-tailed Fisher''s exact test). The contribution of germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations to prostate cancer incidence is probably small and could be limited to specific subgroups.     

体外受精-胚胎移植治疗不孕症85例报道

目的：评价应用体外受精－胚胎移植（ＩＶＦ－ＥＴ）治疗８５例不孕患者的临床结果。方法：用药方案有：①ＧｎＲＨａ／ＦＳＨ／ｈＭＧ；②ＧｎＲＨａ／ＦＳＨ；③ＧｎＲＨａ／ｈＭＧ。培养液包括Ｅａｒｌｅ’ｓ平衡盐液及人类输卵管液（ＨＴＦ）。结果：８５例进行了１０９个ＩＶＦ周期治疗，１２个周期（１１０％）因反应不良而取消。每周期获取卵母细胞（１０２±５４）个，卵子受精率６８９％，卵裂率６０８％，每个转移胚胎植入率７７％（３１／４０２）。９４个移植周期中，每周期移植（４９±２４）个胚胎，获２０次临床妊娠（２１３％）。采用ＨＴＦ妊娠率为２２４％，高于应用Ｅａｒｌｅ’ｓ液的妊娠率（１８５％），但差异无统计学意义。２０次妊娠患者中，１次输卵管妊娠，４次自然流产（２０％），５例足月分娩，１０例继续妊娠。多胎妊娠率４０％，重度ＯＨＳＳ发生率４１％。结论：ＩＶＦ－ＥＴ是治疗输卵管因素、子宫内膜异位症等不孕症的重要而有效的手段。体外培养时用ＨＴＦ可能优于Ｅａｒｌｅ’ｓ液，而有利于提高妊娠率。     

浅谈电子阅览室文献资源的管理与利用

计算机、网络、电子出版物的发展，导致图书馆所采集和收藏的文献资源发生了较大的变化，由原来的印刷型为主向多载体形式并存的方向发展。因此，近几年来有不少医院图书馆开办了电子阅览室。电子阅览室的建立对管理者来说是一种新的挑战，对读者来说其阅读习惯和观念也受到冲击。为更好地发挥电子阅览室的功能，我们从医院图书馆的角度出发探讨其管理和利用。     

针刺取穴与骨折愈合疗效关系初探

目的:初步探讨针刺取穴与骨折愈合疗效的关系,为临床研究和应用提供参考,方法选用48只体重2.0～2.5 kg的雄性纯种大耳白家兔,手术造成新鲜桡骨骨折模型,用区组随机法分为局部和邻近取穴组(A组)、远道和辨证取穴组(B组)、局部和邻近取穴加远道和辨证取穴组(C组)、空白对照组(D组)共四组,术后第一天开始对治疗组分别做电针治疗,于术后7 d、14 d、28 d取材做血液生化学、生物力学、放射学、组织学的观测.比较各组间上述指标的差别.结果:血清碱性磷酸酶含量14 d时A组和C组明显高于B组和D组(P＜0.01),骨折标本抗弯强度在28 d时A组和C组明显高于B组和D组(P＜0.01),X线量化评分14 d和28d时A组和C组明显高于B组和D组(P＜0.05),在各个时段各个指标A组与C组、B组与D组比较均无显著差异(P>0.05).结论:局部和邻近取穴能明显促进骨折愈合,而且具有操作简便,易于推广等优点,远道和辨证取穴则效果不明显,与前者合用也没有明显增强前者的疗效.
