Anatomic and spiral computed tomographic study of the genial tubercles for genioglossus advancement.

OBJECTIVE: To measure and compare Chinese mandibular genial tubercles measured anatomically and with computed tomography (CT). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Spiral CT scans were taken of 40 adult human skulls; the superior genial spines were measured using anatomic and CT methods. RESULTS: The height and width of the superior genial spines, mandible thickness, and distance from the menton to the inferior and superior margins of the superior genial spines were 5.82 +/- 0.71, 6.98 +/- 1.35, 11.95 +/- 1.59, 11.08 +/- 2.05, and 16.91 +/- 2.30 mm from anatomic measurements and 6.17 +/- 0.71, 7.01 +/- 1.13, 12.19 +/- 1.64, 10.41 +/- 1.55, and 15.73 +/- 2.12 mm using spiral CT, respectively. The anatomic and CT measurements were correlated. CONCLUSION: Spiral CT of the genial tubercles can help locate the osteotomy in genioglossus advancement. SIGNIFICANCE: This study acquired reference data on Chinese genial tubercles demonstrating that CT measurements of the genial tubercles reflect their anatomy, which should allow accurately locate the osteotomy.     

Excretion of 1,2,4-benzenetriol in the urine of workers exposed to benzene

Urine samples were collected from 152 workers (64 men, 88 women) who had been exposed to benzene, 53 workers (men only) exposed to a mixture of benzene and toluene, and 213 non-exposed controls (113 men, 100 women). The samples were analysed for 1,2,4-benzentriol (a minor metabolite of benzene) by high performance liquid chromatography. The time weighted average solvent exposure of each worker was monitored by diffusive sampling technique. The urinary concentration of 1,2,4-benzentriol related linearly to the intensity of exposure to benzene both in men and women among workers exposed to benzene, and was suppressed by toluene co-exposure among male workers exposed to a mixture of benzene and toluene. A cross sectional balance study in men at the end of the shift of a workday showed that only 0.47% of benzene absorbed will be excreted into urine as 1,2,4-benzenetriol, in close agreement with previous results in rabbits fed benzene. The concentration of 1,2,4-benzenetriol in urine was more closely related to the concentration of quinol than that of catechol. The fact that phenol and quinol, but not catechol, are precursors of 1,2,4-benzentriol in urine was further confirmed by the intraperitoneal injection of the three phenolic compounds to rats followed by urine analysis for 1,2,4-benzenetriol.     

α_2受体阻滞后肾上腺素诱导的心衰病人血小板的聚集功能

先前的研究表明血小板α_2受体变化表征交感神经突触前α_2受体的变化。为了解心衰病人血小板α_2受体功能状况,我们观察了10例Ⅲ、Ⅳ级心功能的心衰病人及10例配对正常人由肾上腺素诱导的血小板聚集率在α_2受体阻滞前后的变化。结果表明肾上腺素诱导的血小板聚集率在两组无显著性差异,但应用α_2阻滞剂Rauwolscine(0.25mg/L)后,0.25,0.5,1.0mg/L E诱导的心衰病人血小板聚集率显著低于对照组,提示血小板α_2受体在心衰时有数量的减少或(和)功能的降低,表征交感神经突触前NE释放的负反馈机制被抑制。     

大肠菌群MPN检测法在药品微生物限度检查中的应用

地高辛和卡托普利相互作用的监测

本文选择20例充血性心力衰竭患者。联合应用地高辛和卡托普利治疗,观察两药的相互作用。先口服地高辛0.25mg,1次/d,达稳态血浓度后,加服卡托普利12.5mg～25mg,3次/d。监测加服卡托普利前后的血清地高辛浓度。两者问无显著性差异,提示卡托普利对血清地高辛浓度影响不大,无明显相互作用。     

三种去神经法对清醒大鼠动脉压力感受性反射功能的影响

目的：测定急、慢性去主动脉神经（ＡＤ）、去颈动脉窦神经（ＳＤ）、同时去主动脉和窦神经（ＳＡＤ）后大鼠动脉压力感受性反射对血压控制（ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ）和心动周期控制（ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ）的影响。方法：测定ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ采用阻断动脉压力感受性反射传出通路前后，比较机体对去氧肾上腺素升压反应面积差异的方法，所得数值与改良的Ｓｍｙｔｈ方法测定的ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ值进行比较。结果：（１）大鼠ＳＡＤ后ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ为零，且代偿不明显；而ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ约为３０％，且代偿明显；（２）ＳＤ后ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ与ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ无显著差异，而ＡＤ和ＳＡＤ后ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ的作用显著大于ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ的作用。结论：（１）大鼠的ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ传入冲动全部来自于主动脉弓和颈动脉窦的压力感受器，而ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ传入冲动大部分来自于这两处的感受器；（２）主动脉神经和窦神经感受传入在ＡＢＲ－ＢＰ中的作用是相当的，并有明显的相互代偿；而在ＡＢＲ－ＨＰ中，主动脉神经的作用比窦神经重要，其代偿能力也比窦神经显著。

亚急性重症肝炎与淤胆性肝炎黄疸成因的组织学差别

对29例亚急性重症肝炎及13例次淤胆性肝炎肝穿刺标本的光、电镜检查,测算了18例亚急性重症肝炎,9例淤胆性肝炎肝细胞内淤胆的容积百分比、胆汁凝固性坏死的容积百分比与临床资料进行统计学处理,指出这两类肝炎都有肝细胞内淤胆和胆汁凝固性坏死,但淤胆性肝炎肝小叶结构完整,胆汁流出道不破坏,亚急性重症肝炎肝小叶破坏。认为除肝细胞大量坏死外,胆汁流出道破坏是影响预后的另一个重要因素。本文详细描述了胆计凝固性坏死的超微结构改变。
