Proton MR spectroscopy in Coats disease.

We describe a case of acute left-sided visual loss in a 4-year-old boy. CT showed hyperdense retinal detachment with a tiny calcification, and MR imaging showed subretinal hyperintensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Proton MR spectroscopy showed a large peak between 1 and 1.6 ppm that we believe corresponds mainly to lipids, which are characteristic of the exudate present in Coats disease.     

女性飞行学员高空飞行生理生化耐受能力研究

为从高空缺氧耐力训练前后生理、生化角度探讨中国女飞行员驾驶战斗机的可行性,在地面模拟高空缺氧及高空飞行训练前后行心电图、心率、血氧饱和度、血压、血尿酸(BUA)、肌酸激酶(CK)、血红蛋白(Hb)、乳酸(BLA)、肌酐(Cr)和天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)测定,并与男飞行学员的测定结果比较.发现男女飞行学员的心电图、心率、血氧饱和度、血压、Cr、CK、BUA和AST均无显著性差异;女飞行学员在高空耐缺氧Hb代偿反应高于男飞行学员(P<0.05),而BLA水平低于男飞行学员(P<0.05).认为中国女飞行学员在生理生化耐受能力上能胜任飞战斗机.     

Ovarian cysts are common in premenarchal girls: a sonographic study of 101 children 2-12 years old.

Previous studies of sonograms in premenarchal girls have reported the typical ovary to be homogeneous in echogenicity, with cysts an uncommon finding, particularly in children less than 6 years old. These studies found no macrocysts (cysts greater than 9 mm in greatest length) in patients less than 11 years old. This information contradicts published pathology studies and our sonographic experience. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of cysts in the ovaries of premenarchal girls. The pelvic sonograms of 101 consecutive premenarchal girls between 2 and 12 years old, without known gynecologic or endocrinologic disease, were prospectively studied. One hundred fifty-five ovaries were adequately imaged in three dimensions. Ovaries were evaluated for the presence or absence of cysts (as defined by sonographic criteria), and the length of the cyst or of the largest cyst, if several were noted, was measured. Cysts were identified in 106 ovaries (68%). Cysts were seen in patients of all ages, particularly in the younger children (2-6 years old). Thirteen of the cysts, noted in 11 patients between 2 and 10 years old, were macrocysts. The typical sonographic appearance of the ovary in premenarchal girls is not homogeneous. Cysts are common in premenarchal girls between 2 and 12 years old and are the cause of the typical heterogeneous image. Macrocysts can be seen in healthy girls less than 11 years old.     

Lichen planus and oral cancer: is there a connection between the two?

Oral lichen planus has been regarded as a condition with potential for malignant transformation. Critical evaluation of carcinoma cases arising in purported LP shows findings that raise several questions about the accuracy of initial LP diagnoses.     

脑干梗死的MRI和MRA征象

目的：探讨脑干梗死的MRI和MRA征象特点。方法：搜集我院1998年～2002年49例经MRI和MRA检查并经临床治疗证实的脑干梗死病例，其中21例行Gd-DTPA增强扫描，对比临床症状进行分析。结果：中脑梗死11例，桥脑梗死32例，延髓梗死6例。病灶直径以6～15mm为主，病灶形态主要因为不规则斑片状。病灶信号为长T1、长T2信号，行Gd—DTPA增强扫描，大部分呈斑片状或环状强化。MRA检查异常发现主要为椎动脉、基底动脉的狭窄或闭塞，基底动脉纡曲扩张。结论：脑干梗死主要因为椎-基底动脉异常，病灶部位可提示其临床意义。     

VEGF基因体外转染大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞的实验研究

目的:探讨脂质体介导血管内皮细胞生长因子(VEGF)基因转染大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(MSCS)应用于基因治疗的可行性、安全性。方法:体外分离、培养、鉴定MSCs,PcDNA3.1(-)/VEGF165质粒转染MSCs,转染后用免疫荧光和ELISA检测MSCs表达VEGF蛋白的情况,MTT检测MSCs对VEGF质粒转染的敏感性。结果:骨髓中分离得到MSCs,流式细胞检测显示MSCs不表达CD34和CD45,但表达CD90。透射电镜观察可见细胞浆中含大量粗面内质网和分泌颗粒。VEGF基因转染MSCs后第5天抗VEGF免疫荧光染色约90%的MSCs呈阳性,ELISA检测结果显示PcDNA3.1(-)/VEGF165质粒转染组细胞培养上清液中VEGF含量明显高于对照组,并于转染后第5天达到峰值。MTT检测结果显示VEGF质粒转染对MSCs增殖无影响。结论:MSC可作为VEGF基因转染的靶细胞用于基因治疗。     

磷酸化肌球蛋白轻链及其激酶在耐药颞叶癫(癎)患者脑组织中的表达

目的探讨耐药性癫癎颞叶和海马脑组织中磷酸化肌球蛋白轻链(phosphorylation of myosin light chain,P-MLC)及其激酶(myosin light chain kinase,MLCK)的表达在癫癎芽生形成中的作用。方法免疫组化检测32例耐药性颞叶癫癎中P-MLC及其激酶MLCK的蛋白质表达水平,并与对照组比较。结果P-MLC免疫组化结果显示,耐药性颞叶癫癎组颞叶光密度值(0.35±0.13)高于对照组(0.19±0.027,P<0.05);耐药组海马光密度值(0.41±0.02)高于对照组(0.10±0.06,P<0.05)。免疫组化结果显示耐药组的MLCK表达水平在颞叶组织和海马组织中较对照组无统计学差异(P>0.05)。结论P-MLC及其激酶MLCK的功能与苔藓纤维芽生关系密切,P-MLC蛋白质产物在耐药性癫中明显升高,但其磷酸化激酶MLCK的表达并不升高,提示MLCK和去磷酸化酶间动态平衡被打破是P-MLC升高的原因,而P-MLC的升高可能在苔藓纤维芽生的形成中发挥重要作用。     

Long-term treatment outcomes of coretherm microwave feedback thermotherapy

The gold standard for definitive management of symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Despite its efficacy, TURP has significant morbidity/mortality concerns such as hemorrhage and transurethral resection syndrome. This is especially worrisome for the medically high-risk patient, but the high rates of retrograde ejaculation found with TURP also pose a problem for young patients. A minimally invasive, outpatient alternative to TURP that has long-term efficacy, low morbidity/mortality, and provides a cost-effective advantage is in high demand. This review article discusses microwave thermotherapy as such an option and reports the long-term experience with the CoreTherm (CoreTherm Operations AB, Sweden) device.
