白细胞介素6和肿瘤坏死因子—α在分泌性中耳炎渗出液中表达及…

Using enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), we measured levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in middle ear effusions (MEE) from patients with secretory otitis media (SOM) undergoing auripuncture to study the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of the disease. Significant levels of IL-6 (> 62.5 ng/L) were found in 19 (86.36%) of 22 MEEs and those of TNF-alpha (> 37.5 ng/L) in 19 (70.37%) of 27 MEEs. The mean (+/- s) levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha were 507.68 +/- 813.11 ng/L and 186.86 +/- 166.93 ng/L, respectively. It revealed that the shorter the course, the higher the concentration of IL-6 in MEE: the longer the course, the higher the concentration of TNF-alpha in MEE. These findings suggested that during the early stages of SOM, IL-6 might participate in the defensive reaction of organism, while TNF-alpha might be closely related to the persistence of SOM, resulting in an excessive inflammatory reaction with a potential for pathological changes. It is concluded that the immunological mechanisms probably play a significant role in the pathogenesis of SOM.     

对41例儿童旋毛虫病的临床观察

为了解儿童旋毛虫病的临床特征，对１９９２～１９９５年就诊的４１例儿童旋毛虫病进行分析。结果表明，患儿来自河南６个地区，主要因食猪肉馅饺子、烤羊肉串或食涮猪肉而感染。冬季为本病的高发季节。患儿平均年龄为８．８岁，男女之比为２．７１。长期发热和嗜酸性粒细胞增多为本病的主要表现，仅少数患儿有肌痛、胃肠道症状和皮疹。眼睑水肿仅见于发病早期。血清学检查对诊断本病有重要意义。预防本病的关键措施是加强肉检和改变不良的饮食习惯。     

Examination of the relation between periodontal health status and cardiovascular risk factors: serum total and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and plasma fibrinogen

Using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994), the authors examined the relation between periodontal health and cardiovascular risk factors: serum total and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and plasma fibrinogen. A total of 10,146 participants were included in the analyses of cholesterol and C-reactive protein and 4,461 in the analyses of fibrinogen. Periodontal health indicators included the gingival bleeding index, calculus index, and periodontal disease status (defined by pocket depth and attachment loss). While cholesterol and fibrinogen were analyzed as continuous variables, C-reactive protein was dichotomized into two levels. The results show a significant relation between indicators of poor periodontal status and increased C-reactive protein and fibrinogen. The association between periodontal status and total cholesterol level is much weaker. No consistent association between periodontal status and high density lipoprotein cholesterol was detectable. Similar patterns of association were observed for participants aged 17-54 years and those 55 years and older. In conclusion, this study suggests that total cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen are possible intermediate factors that may link periodontal disease to elevated cardiovascular risk.     

多囊卵巢综合征患者血清生长激素和泌乳素对左旋多巴反应的研究

目的：探讨多囊卵巢综合征（ＰＣＯＳ）患者生长激素（ＧＨ）和泌乳素（ＰＲＬ）异常分泌的机理。方法：对黄体生成素（ＬＨ）／卵泡刺激素（ＦＳＨ）≥３的１５例患者（Ｉ型组）、ＬＨ／ＦＳＨ＜３的１５例患者（Ⅱ型组）以及２０例月经周期正常妇女（对照组），行左旋多巴（Ｌ－ＤＡ，５００ｍｇ）兴奋下丘脑－垂体轴功能试验，观察３组ＧＨ和ＰＲＬ的浓度变化。结果：在基础状态下，Ⅰ、Ⅱ型组的ＧＨ较低（Ｐ＜０．０１）、ＰＲＬ较高（Ｉ型组，Ｐ＜０．０５）；Ｌ－ＤＡ兴奋试验后，Ⅰ、Ⅱ型组ＧＨ的升高程度和ＰＲＬ的下降程度均低于对照组。结论：ＰＣＯＳ的ＧＨ和ＰＲＬ异常分泌可能与其中枢ＤＡ活性不足有关。     

Direct gamete uterine transfer in patients with tubal absence or occlusion

Purpose: Our aim was to examine the potential of the uterine cavity to affect fertilization and early embryo development. Design: A prospective IRB-approved protocol for patients fulfilling study eligibility criteria was used. Methods: Patients studied included those with primary or secondary infertility, aged less than 38 years, with no history of severe male-factor infertility, and with hysterosalpingogram-and laparoscopic-confirmed bilateral proximal tubal occlusion. Superovulation induction was accomplished with a combination of GnRH agonist and menotropins, with serum hormonal and sonographic monitoring. Within 24 hr prior to, and again at the time of, ovulatory hCG administration, progesterone (P4) was given. Sonographic-guided transvaginal retrieval was performed 35 hr after hCG. Between four and six oocytes were returned to the uterine cavity, admixed with sperm, immediately following retrieval. Luteal support consisted of daily P4 administration. Results: Of the 20 patients recruited for the study, all completed the retrieval and transfer procedure. A total of four clinical pregnancies was achieved, with one early first-trimester loss, one late first-trimester loss (Trisomy 14), and two healthy term infants delivered. IVF of surplus oocytes demonstrated a 82.5% fertilization rate and 66.7% cleavage following cryopreservation. Conclusions: Human fertilization can be achieved through direct uterine transfer of gametes. Furthermore, administration of P4 prior to the ovulatory dose of hCG is compatible with in vitro or in vivo fertilization and implantation.     

Trace element levels in drinking water and cognitive function among elderly Chinese

The relation between trace element levels in drinking water and cognitive function was investigated in a population-based study of elderly residents (n = 1,016) in rural China in 1996-1997. Cognitive function was measured using a Chinese translation of the Community Screening Interview for Dementia. A mixed effects model was used to evaluate the effect of each of the elements on cognitive function while adjusting for age, sex, and educational level. Several of the elements examined had a significant effect on cognitive function when they were assessed in a univariate context. However, after adjustment for other elements, many of these results were not significant. There was a significant quadratic effect for calcium and a significant zinc-cadmium interaction. Cognitive function increased with calcium level up to a certain point and then decreased as calcium continued to increase. Zinc showed a positive relation with cognitive function at low cadmium levels but a negative relation at high levels.
