Comparison of the structure of human intervertebral discs in the cervical,thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine

Posterior and anterior heights, cross-sectional area and shape were measured for all the intervertebral discs in four spines from elderly human cadavers. Disc height was a minimum at the T4-5 level; thoracic discs were less wedge-shaped than those in the cervical and lumbar regions. Cross-sectional area increased from the cranial to caudal extremity; at the L5-S1 level the nucleus pulposus occupied a high proportion of this area. Cervical discs tended to have an elliptical cross-sectional shape, thoracic discs were more circular and lumbar discs tended to have an elliptical cross-section which was flattened or re-entrant posteriorly. This shape distribution was quantified by defining a shape index which had a maximum value of 1 for a circular cross-section. Orientations of the reinforcing fibres in the outer lamellae of the anterior annulus fibrosus were measured from 27 discs by X-ray diffraction. For these measurements, C3-4, T7-8 and L2-3 were chosen as representative of cervical, thoracic and lumbar discs. The fibre tilt, with respect to the axis of the spine, was significantly less in the cervical discs (at 65 degrees) than in the thoracic and lumbar discs (about 70 degrees). These findings are interpreted in relation to differing functional requirements and possible mechanisms of failure in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine in the light of current knowledge on the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc.     

内洋地黄素拮抗剂上调缺血再灌注损伤大鼠心肌细胞膜钠泵亚基的表达

目的： 观察内洋地黄素特异性拮抗剂地高辛抗血清对心肌缺血再灌注（MIR）损伤大鼠心肌组织内洋地黄素水平、钠泵活性、线粒体总钙浓度以及钠泵各亚基基因表达的影响，探讨内洋地黄素在心肌缺血再灌注损伤中的作用及其机制。方法: 将56只雄性SD大鼠随机分成7组，每组8只。假手术对照组（sham）：丝线穿过左冠状动脉前降支，但不结扎；缺血再灌注组（MIR）：结扎左冠状动脉前降支30 min，再灌注45 min；生理盐水组（NS）、维拉帕米组（Ver）、小剂量、中剂量、大剂量地高辛抗血清组（ADA）：于再灌注前5 min经股静脉分别注射生理盐水、维拉帕米5 mg·kg^-1、地高辛抗血清8.6 mg·kg^-1、 17.3 mg·kg^-1、34.5 mg·kg^-1，容积均为5 mL·kg^-1，5 min内注射完毕，其余同MIR模型组。再灌注结束后，立即取缺血区左室心肌检测心肌匀浆内洋地黄素水平、心肌细胞膜Na+ K+_ATP酶和Ca2+_Mg2+_ATP酶活性、线粒体总钙浓度；分别采用RT-PCR及Western blotting方法和免疫组化方法检测心肌钠泵α₁、α₂、α₃和β₁亚基mRNA及蛋白水平基因表达的改变。结果: 心肌缺血再灌注损伤时，心肌组织内洋地黄素水平明显升高，心肌细胞膜钠泵和Ca2+_Mg2+_ATP酶活性显著下降，线粒体总钙浓度升高，钠泵α₁、α₂、α₃和β₁亚基在mRNA及蛋白水平基因表达均明显下降；维拉帕米除具有降低线粒体总钙浓度外，对其它各项指标无明显影响。地高辛抗血清呈剂量依赖性地显著降低心肌组织内洋地黄素水平，恢复细胞膜钠泵和Ca2+_Mg2+_ATP酶活性，降低线粒体总钙浓度，上调钠泵α₁、α₂、α₃和β₁亚基mRNA及蛋白水平的基因表达。结论: 心肌缺血再灌注促进机体内洋地黄素分泌增加，后者通过下调心肌细胞膜上的钠泵α₁、α₂、α₃和β₁亚基基因表达抑制钠泵活性，进而抑制Ca2+_Mg2+_ATP酶活性，导致线粒体内钙超载，介导心肌缺血再灌注损伤。内洋地黄素特异性拮抗剂地高辛抗血清通过阻断内洋地黄素的生物学作用，上调钠泵各亚基的基因表达，发挥其抗心肌缺血再灌注损伤的作用。     

Reduction of adhesion formation in rabbits by intraperitoneal administration of lazaroid formulations

Adhesion formation is a major source of postoperative morbidity and mortality. In this study, the ability of a variety of lazaroid formulations [the antioxidant 21-aminosteroid PNU74006F (tirilazad) and the non-steroidal 2-methylaminochroman derivative PNU83,836E] to reduce i.p. adhesion formation in three rabbit models was examined. In initial studies, PNU83836E was administered via Alzet miniosmotic pump to the site of injury. In the sidewall and double uterine horn models, PNU83,836E was administered via Alzet miniosmotic pump for the entire postoperative interval. In the sidewall model, there was a dose- dependent reduction in the area of the sidewall injury that was involved in adhesions. In the double uterine horn model, PNU83,836E was administered via Alzet miniosmotic pump to the area of injury for 1, 2, 3 or 7 days. Administration for as little as 24 h after surgery significantly reduced the extent of adhesion formation and the reduction was increased if it was administered for longer. Further studies were conducted in which various lazaroid formulations were administered as a bolus at the end of surgery. In both the sidewall and double uterine horn models, administration of either PNU83,386E (in citrate buffer) or PNU74006F (in cyclodextrin or lipid emulsion vehicles) at the end of surgery reduced adhesion formation. Administration of a bolus of PNU74006F 10 min prior to initiation of surgery with or without additional treatment at the end of surgery further increased its efficacy in the reduction of adhesion formation. Administration of a minimum of 1.5 mg before and after surgery (3 mg total) was required for maximal efficacy. These studies demonstrate that pre- and postoperative administration of either a steroidal (PNU74006F) or non-steroidal (PNU83,836E) lazaroid intraperitoneally reduced the formation and reformation of postoperative adhesions in three animal models.

目的评价综合治疗对难治性便秘的疗效及影响因素。方法将84例难治性便秘分为非重叠组和重叠组。应用个体化综合治疗4周,观察便秘症状评分变化及总有效率,分析IC患者的重叠症状和心理障碍状态对疗效的影响。结果(1)84例便秘患者中,重叠组和非重叠组分别占40.5%和59.5%。(2)重叠组和非重叠组的总有效率分别为50.0%和78.0%(P<0.05)。(3)对37例IC患者的心理测试调查显示,59.4%(22/37)有心理障碍状态,重叠组和非重叠组伴有心理障碍状态对治疗的总有效率分别为4.8%和31.5%(P<0.05)。结论适合个体化的综合治疗使多数难治性便秘缓解症状,但伴有重叠症状,尤其心理障碍状态则影响疗效。     

Localization of cellular retinoid-binding proteins in human cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive carcinoma.

Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP) and cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) were localized in biopsies of normal squamous epithelium, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and invasive squamous cell cancer of the cervix uteri by immunohistochemistry. In both the normal stratified squamous epithelium of the exocervix and low-grade CIN, CRABP I was present predominantly in the basal layer of the epithelium. The more superficial, differentiated cell layers lacked immunoreactive protein. In high-grade CIN (CIN2-3), the distribution of CRABP I was altered. Immunoreactive CRABP I was detected in all layers of high-grade CIN. In squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, CRABP I was detected in cells throughout the tumor but was minimal in cells demonstrating squamous differentiation. In contrast to CRABP I, CRBP was diffusely present throughout the cervical epithelium irrespective of the state of differentiation or the presence of disease.     

基于信息化的急诊患者早期分级预警方案效果分析

基于早期预警评分系统,构建了急诊患者早期分级预警方案,并借助信息化手段,将方案嵌入急诊护理信息系统中,设置了颜色分级提醒功能,实现了分级预警闭环管理。实施后,急诊患者生命体征监测频次增加,抢救成功率提高,护理不良事件发生率降低。认为基于信息化的急诊患者早期分级预警方案提高了急救质量,保障了患者安全,但需在医护协作、护理人力分配、信息资源整合等方面持续改进。

2019年广东省部分地区感染性腹泻病原学及人轮状病毒分子流行病学特征

目的 对感染性腹泻样本进行检测鉴定,并对轮状病毒A组进行病毒分离,研究2019年广东省部分地区感染性腹泻病原学及轮状病毒分子流行病学特征。方法 2019年1月1日至2020年1月12日,采集广东省广州市、东莞市和江门市临床感染性腹泻患者粪便样本,进行多重RT-PCR扩增和微球杂交技术检测鉴定,并对轮状病毒A组阳性样本进行分离后,采用半巢式PCR试验对阳性细胞培养物进行G/P基因分型。结果 共纳入706例合格病例,病原体总检出率43.06%,病毒检出率18.13%高于细菌检出率8.36%高于寄生虫检出率1.27%。病毒病原谱以轮状病毒A组G9P[8]和诺如病毒GII型感染为主,细菌病原谱以沙门菌和艰难梭菌为主,寄生虫以蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫为首。不同季度、不同年龄组病原谱构成各不相同。轮状病毒A组主要受累群体为≤5岁儿童,主要时间分布于1—4月,基因型呈现多样性,包括G2P[4]、G3P[8]和G9P[8]。结论 2019年广东省部分地区感染性腹泻病毒类病原体高于细菌类高于寄生虫类,轮状病毒A组G9P[8]、诺如GII型、沙门菌和蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫是最主要的病原体,且G9P[8]型A组轮状病毒毒株在轮状病毒感染中占主导趋势。在防控病毒性和细菌性腹泻的同时,应警惕寄生虫所致腹泻并重视混合感染的病原学监测。
