胃癌癌前病变癌变机制及其逆转的研究进展

胃癌癌前病变与胃癌的发生关系,日益受到重视,近几年来特别强调幽门螺杆菌为引起慢性萎缩性胃炎与胃癌的重要危险因子.因此,许多学者进一步深入研究幽门螺杆菌感染对发生胃癌的危险性,胃癌癌前病变发生癌变的机制以及如何使其逆转,是预防和降低胃癌发病的重要课题.     

SELECTIVE ENDOSCOPY IN MANAGEMENT OF INGESTED FOREIGN BODIES OF THE UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT: IS IT SAFE?

During a four-year period, 308 patients presented following ingestion of foreign bodies. Ingestion was accidental in 272 cases (88.3%) and deliberate in the remainder. Symptoms at presentation included dysphagia, odynophagia, nausea and vomiting, chest pain and pharyngeal discomfort. Sixty-eight patients were asymptomatic. A policy of expectant management and selective endoscopy was employed. Following initial assessment 202 patients (65.6%) were discharged without treatment, 30 (9.7%) of whom were later reviewed as outpatients and did not require admission. Forty-nine patients (16%) were admitted for treatment; 27 had oesophagoscopy, five bronchoscopy and two had foreign body extraction with direct laryngoscopy. In nine patients who were endoscoped, no foreign body was identified. Twenty-seven others were referred to the otorhinolaryngology service in another hospital. There were no deaths in the group and morbidity was 1.2%. We conclude that a policy of selective endoscopy is safe and effective in the management of patients following ingestion of foreign bodies.     

Persistent diarrhea associated with AIDS

Chronic diarrhea and wasting are very common manifestations of AIDS in adults in developing countries. Etiologic studies show that protozoa (including Cryptosporidium parvum, Isospora belli , and Enterocytozoon bieniusi ) and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulara are the most frequently identified pathogens. Limited data in children suggest that common enteric pathogens are equally as likely in HIV⁺ and HIV^- babies. Preliminary analysis of an ongoing longitudinal study of 469 babies born to mothers with known HIV serostatus in Kinshasa, Zaire, reveals progression of acute to persistent diarrhea is six times greater in HIV⁺ compared to HIV^- babies, and 3.5 times greater in HIV^- babies born of HIV⁺ mothers in comparison to HIV^- babies with HIV^- mothers. HIV⁺ babies were also at greater risk than HIV^- babies to have recurrent episodes of diarrhea (RR = 2.3). Fifty percent of the deaths were due to acute or persistent diarrhea, and were strongly associated with HIV infection. Efforts to improve child survival in AIDS infected populations will need to address HIV infections in both mothers and infants.     

柱切换HPLC法研究米托蒽醌毫微粒冻干静脉注射剂的药代动力学

建立了血浆中米托蒽醌的柱切换高效液相色谱测定法,测定和比较了米托蒽醌溶液型注射剂和毫微粒冻干静脉注射剂在家兔体内的血药曲线,并研究比较了二者的药代动力学参数。米托恩醌毫微粒冻干注射剂使米托蒽醌在血中浓度大为降低,血中分布容积增大了近5倍,体内平均驻留时间延长了2倍多。表明米托蒽醌毫微粒有明显的体内长效作用,结合其体内分布试验研究结果,表明其具有明显肝靶向分布作用。
