Endoscopic T-tube placement in the management of lye-induced esophageal perforation: Case report of a safe treatment strategy

Esophageal perforation is associated with a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. We report herein a case of lye-induced esophageal perforation managed successfully by employing endoscopic T-tube placement with a successful outcome.     

Liposome-mediated transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor cDNA augments survival of random-pattern skin flaps in the rat.

Tissue engineering is an application for gene therapy that is in its infancy. We show that simple liposomal-mediated gene transfer could result in a potentially useful biological effect in the field of wound healing. cDNA encoding the 165 amino acid form of vascular endothelial growth factor complexed to commercially available liposomes was injected into rat skin 1 week before raising a random pattern 3 x 10 cm flap. The flap survival was enhanced by 14 percent, and was accomplished without accessing the arterial inflow of the territory. These results were statistically significant (p<0.002) and reproducible. No adverse effects were seen. Histological analysis of the angiogenesis localized much of the new vessel formation to the area around the hair follicles. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of extracted flap tissue confirmed the presence of the transgene.     

Efficient high-frequency body coil for high-field MRI.

The use of body coils is favored for homogeneous excitation, and such coils are often paired with surface coils or arrays for sensitive reception in many MRI applications. While the body coil's physical size and resultant electrical length make this circuit difficult to design for any field strength, recent efforts to build efficient body coils for applications at 3T and above have been especially challenging. To meet this challenge, we developed an efficient new transverse electromagnetic (TEM) body coil and demonstrated its use in human studies at field strengths up to 4 T. Head, body, and breast images were acquired within peak power constraints of <8 kW. Bench studies indicate that these body coils are feasible to 8 T. RF shimming was used to remove a high-field-related cardiac imaging artifact in these preliminary studies. P41RR13230

随机系统的最小熵控制

本文放弃传统的MSE准则,从信息论观点出发,发展了随机系统的一种最小熵(ME)控制方法,并从ME控制的等价性、控制限度、存在性、唯一性及必要条件等方面,研究了ME控制的合理性和实用性。ME方法是一种全局分析法,它不仅包含了MSE和MAP准则,且由于全文在整个推导中并未假定高斯性、线性和非时变等,因而原则上适用于诸如非高斯、非线性、时变等传统方法难以处理的复杂系统;不仅适用于工程系统,将其推广到决策、社会、经济等领域会更为自然和切合实际。

老年男性心肌缺血患者心率变异分析（附67例报告）

采用正常搏动ＲＲ间期的标准差（ＳＤ）及心率变异指数（ＨＲＶ ｉｎｄｅｘ）作为指标，分析６７例老年男性心肌缺血患者的心率变异，并与正常老年男性组及正常青壮年男性组进行了对比，发现前组的ＲＲ间期ＳＤ、ＨＲＶｉｎｄｅｘ均明显低于后两组，其结果有显著性差异（Ｐ均〈０．０１）。提示心肌缺血可破坏交感与迷走神经的均衡性，造成心率变异降低。     

NO对兔局灶脑缺血脑水肿和脑梗塞灶的影响

本文在兔MCAO局灶脑缺血模型基础上,利用外源性一氧化氮(NO)前体物质L-精氨酸和NOS抑制剂L-NNA研究NO对脑缺血后脑水肿和脑梗塞的影响。NZW兔42只随机分为7组,每组6只,计对照组、假手术组、MCAO组、MCAO+NS组、MCAO+L-Arg组、MCAO+D-Arg组及MCAO+L-Arg+L-NNA组。结果提示:与单纯MCAO组比较,L-Arg组的脑组织H_2O、Na~+、Ca~(2+)含量明显下降(P<0.01),脑梗塞灶亦明显缩小(P<0.01)。从而显示L-Arg系通过产生NO促使血管舒张而减轻脑水肿和缩小梗塞灶,为临床改进脑缺血的治疗提供依据。
