26万女性队列人群中乳腺癌与人工流产关系的研究（上海）

目的：评估人工流产（指手术流产）对乳腺癌危险性的可能影响。方法：研究在上海267040例妇女的一项乳房自我检查随机试验的队列人群中进行，由队列研究和巢式病例对照研究两部分组成。结果：依据基线调查表采集的资料分析，人工流产不增加乳腺癌危险性。调整潜在的混淆因素后，OR=1．06（95％CI：0．91～1．25）。人工流产次数增加无危险性趋势增加。从更详细的652例乳腺癌病例和694例对照资料分析，得出相似的结果。人工流产发生在首次生育后不增加危险性；少数妇女在首次生育前人工流产以及妊娠13周后人工流产，虽然被观察到危险性有增加，但无显著性统计学意义。结论：在中国，人工流产不是乳腺癌发生的重要原因。     

开设综合性生理学实验课的实践与体会

生理学探索性、综合性实验有利于提高学生的系统综合和创新能力，为此，根据实验室现有条件，我们对传统实验教学进行改革，设计成为探索性综合性实验并在七年制学生中开展。该实验既与课本知识紧密结合，又与临床密切相关。实践证明，该实验使学生系统性掌握生理学知识的同时为他们临床分析解决问题奠定了基础。

目的：探讨止痛消痔膏对痔疮的临床治疗效果。方法：采用完全随机的方法,将110例受试对象分配到治疗组（60例）和对照组（50例）。治疗组采用止痛消痔膏,对照组采用马应龙痔疮膏。根据疗效标准判断疗效。结果：治疗组60例患者中,有效率为99.99%,对照组50例患者中,有效率达78%。结论：止痛消痔膏治疗湿热性痔病疗效肯定。     

Remission following an elemental diet or prednisolone in Crohn's disease

The short- and long-term effects of an elemental diet in children with acute Crohn's disease were compared with those of prednisolone in historical controls. Clinical remission was induced in 25 of 30 and in 18 of 28 episodes treated for six weeks with an elemental diet and prednisolone. Patients with proximal disease had longer remission after treatment with an elemental diet (p < 0.05) than did patients with colonic disease after treatment with prednisolone (p < 0.01). Disease activity index score improved in both groups compared with the pretreatment scores (p < 0.05). However, the improvement in the elemental diet group was significantly better than in the prednisolone group (p < 0.001). Changes in linear growth were better after treatment with an elemental diet compared with steroids (p < 0.001). Serum albumin and haematocrit concentrations all improved significantly in the children treated with an elemental diet (p < 0.001) but not in those treated with steroids. Thus an elemental diet was better than prednisolone in proximal disease and confirmed improved growth and nutritional status.     

层流洁净技术在烧伤治疗中的应用

目的 探索层流洁净技术治疗大面积烧伤的价值。方法 对室内空气及创面进行细菌培养；监测病房使用时间的细菌微粒数比较，各洁净级别杀菌率。不同级别地点细菌培养结果比较。结果 千级以上层流病房细菌培养为“0”，与普通病房对照有较大差别，患者死亡率明显降低，疗程缩短，医疗费用下降，手术植皮及其他伤口均达Ⅰ期愈合，无交叉感染。结论 层流洁净病房应用于烧伤治疗，疗效非常满意。     

Resistance of Copenhagen rats to chemical induction of glutathione S- transferase 7-7-positive liver foci

Copenhagen (Cop) rats are completely resistant to the chemical induction of mammary adenocarcinomas, but their susceptibility to hepatocarcinogenesis is virtually unknown. Rat liver is a well- characterized and easily manipulated tissue in which to study carcinogenesis. Therefore, if Cop rats are resistant to hepatocarcinogenesis, studies into resistance mechanisms may be feasible. Male Cop and F344 rats, 7-8 weeks old, were initiated using either N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) (200 mg/kg, i.p.) or a two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PH) followed by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) (60 mg/kg, i.p.). The rats were then promoted using a modified resistant hepatocyte (RH) protocol (a combination of four doses of 2- acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) and a single dose of CCl4 that provides a selective mitotic stimulus for initiated cells). Six weeks after initiation the rats were killed and liver sections were stained for glutathione S-transferase 7-7 (GST 7-7), a marker for putative preneoplastic hepatocytes. Cop rats were found to be highly resistant, having a approximately 9- and approximately 27-fold smaller percentage of liver area occupied by GST 7-7-positive foci than susceptible F344 rats following initiation by DEN and MNU respectively. Furthermore, gross liver nodules did not form in any of the Cop rats, whereas all F344 rat livers contained nodules. Hepatic necrosis caused by DEN during initiation, and CCl4 during promotion is necessary to stimulate compensatory hepatocyte division. We demonstrated that these agents do indeed increase serum transaminase levels and produce histologic evidence of necrosis in Cop rats. In order for liver foci to grow rapidly in the RH protocol, the surrounding normal hepatocytes must be mito-inhibited by 2-AAF. We found that the degree of mito-inhibition of normal hepatocytes by 2-AAF is the same in Cop and F344 rats. These results show that the Cop rat is highly resistant to the chemical induction of putative preneoplastic liver foci and nodules.      

Vertical transmission of Kaposi's sarcoma

AIDS related Kaposi's sarcoma is commonly seen in homosexual men, only occasionally in men and women with heterosexually acquired HIV, and extremely rarely in children. The case of an HIV infected mother and her vertically infected child who both developed visceral Kaposi's sarcoma is reported. It is proposed that the putative Kaposi's sarcoma agent may also be transmitted vertically.     

Extracorporeal life support in paediatrics

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support technique based on modifications of heart-lung bypass technology. It is used to support severe but potentially reversible pulmonary or cardiopulmonary failure. There is increasing use of the technique for neonates and a return of interest in its use for adults. The number of non-neonatal paediatric patients receiving pulmonary support with ECMO worldwide is, however, small, and survival rates average less than 50%. Initial experience in 15 patients aged 3 months to 5 years with a high survival and low morbidity is reported.     

Pathological complications of non-survivors of newborn extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

The pathology was reviewed of the early deaths identified from the first 50 neonates treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during its introduction to the UK. Fifteen neonates died during or shortly after ECMO between August 1989 and June 1992. Data on 12 are presented (three did not have a postmortem examination). The clinical diagnoses at referral for ECMO were as follows: persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (six infants), primary congenital pneumonia (one infant), community acquired pneumonia (two infants), birth asphyxia (one infant), respiratory distress syndrome (one infant), and meconium aspiration syndrome (one infant). In our group, at necropsy, five had significant haemorrhage (three intracranial, one pulmonary, one pericardial and intraventricular). Three of five infants with evidence of haemorrhage also had signs of sepsis. Six infants had evidence at necropsy of systemic sepsis, five showed evidence of severe anoxic brain injury, and four infants had cerebellar haemorrhages. Three infants had evidence of myocardial ischaemia. It is difficult to discriminate between the relative influence of the primary diagnosis, the mode of treatment, and the severity of presentation in the genesis of this pathology. It is likely that the extent and severity of some of the findings represent a pathological progression that would have been interrupted by the death of the patient, had ECMO not been instituted.
