乳猪肝细胞的分离、培养及功能检测

目的 为构建生物人工肝进行肝细胞的准备。方法 采用胶原酶半原位灌流法分离单个乳猪肝细胞,并对其活力及单层和聚集培养后的白蛋白、尿素合成功能进行检测。结果 采用本方法从每头乳猪中分离到的单个肝细胞数为(3.1±1.5)×10~(10),活性超过95％。在加入激素和生长因子的培养基中单层培养时,肝细胞功能良好,可维持2周左右。而在未加入激素和生长因子的培养中肝细胞虽能存活1周,但功能于24h后即丧失。球形聚集培养可实现肝细胞的大量培养,且生物学活性较单层培养显著提高。结论 采用胶原酶半原位灌注法所得单个乳猪肝细胞基本能满足构建生物人工肝对肝细胞数量的要求。聚集培养接种密度大,细胞生物学活性高,可用于构建生物人工肝。     

自身免疫性感音神经性聋豚鼠的子代内耳生理功能研究

目的 :观察自身免疫性感音神经性聋 (ASHL)母豚鼠所产子代内耳生理功能的变化 ,探讨针对内耳的自身免疫因素对子代内耳生理功能的影响及其改变特点。方法 :同种内耳抗原 (CIEAg)持续免疫孕豚鼠 ,采用耳蜗电图 (记录cAP、CM )和眼震电图仪 (记录自发性眼震和冷热空气试验 )测试母鼠和子鼠的听觉和前庭功能 ,并检测血清特异性体液免疫反应。结果 :ASHL模型母豚鼠所产子鼠血清中发现有特异性抗体水平升高 ,部分 (3 /9)出现听觉损伤。非ASHL母鼠和对照组母鼠所产子代未见明显异常。结论 :ASHL雌鼠所产子代可出现感音神经性聋 ,其内耳损伤和功能障碍极可能与针对内耳组织的自身免疫反应 (尤其是体液免疫 )有关 ,从而提示内耳自身免疫因素可能为部分先天性非遗传性感音神经性聋的病因之一。     

Carotid intima-media thickness in Parkinson's disease.

There have been a few studies and inconsistent results regarding the coincidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atherosclerotic diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a known marker for subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the carotid IMT between PD patients and controls. We studied 43 patients with PD and 86 matched controls. The carotid IMT in PD patients was significantly smaller than in controls (0.796 +/- 0.179 mm vs. 0.913 +/- 0.237 mm, P < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, the carotid IMT was inversely associated with the duration of levodopa medication and the severity of PD. These results suggest that PD patients have a lower risk of atherosclerosis.     

Nuclear Factor κB and Anesthetic Preconditioning during Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion

Background: Volatile anesthetic preconditioning (APC) protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, but the precise mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain undefined. To investigate the molecular mechanism of APC in myocardial protection, the activation of nuclear factor (NF) [kappa]B and its regulated inflammatory mediators expression were examined in the current study.

Methods: Hearts from male rats were isolated, Langendorff perfused, and randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) the control group: hearts were continuously perfused for 130 min; (2) the IR group: 30 min of equilibration, 15 min of baseline, 25 min of ischemia, 60 min of reperfusion; and (3) the APC + IR group: 30 min of equilibration, 10 min of sevoflurane exposure and a 5-min washout, 25 min of global ischemia, 60 min of reperfusion. Tissue samples were acquired at the end of reperfusion. NF-[kappa]B activity was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. The NF-[kappa]B inhibitor, I[kappa]B-[alpha], was determined by Western blot analysis. Myocardial inflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor [alpha], interleukin 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, were also assessed by Western blot analysis.

Results: Nuclear factor [kappa]B-DNA binding activity was significantly increased at the end of reperfusion in rat myocardium, and cytosolic I[kappa]B-[alpha] was decreased. Supershift assay revealed the involvement of NF-[kappa]B p65 and p50 subunits. APC with sevoflurane attenuated NF-[kappa]B activation and reduced the expression of tumor necrosis factor [alpha], interleukin 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and inducible nitric oxide synthase. APC also reduced infarct size and creatine kinase release and improved myocardial left ventricular developed pressure during IR.     

新生儿重症呼吸道感染氧气雾化吸入疗效分析

新生儿重症呼吸系统感染引起的新生儿慢性肺部疾病、重症肺炎、胎粪吸入性肺炎,病情重,发展快,易导致呼吸衰竭,死亡率高. 常用的方法除抗炎、改善通气、纠正缺氧和上用呼吸机外，雾化吸入治疗也起到重要的辅助作用。传统的地塞米松超声雾化吸入治疗，疗效差，且具有许多副作用。     

VEGF、EGF在再生障碍性贫血患者血清中的表达及意义

目的 检测再生障碍性贫血患者血清中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)与表皮生长因子(EGF)的浓度,探讨VEGF和EGF在再生障碍性贫血患者血液中的表达及二者之间的关系和意义.方法 应用酶联免疫技术(ELISA法)检测20例再障患者及40名健康人血清中VEGF和EGF浓度.结果 20例再生障碍性贫血患者血清VEGF的含量为50.5±34.8pg/ml,对照组血清VEGF的含量为108.5±50.6 pg/ml,两组比较有统计学意义(P＜0.05).20例再生障碍性贫血患者血清EGF含量为0.15±0.11 μg/L,40例正常对照组血清EGF含量为0.76±0.80 μg/L.结论 再生障碍性贫血患者血清VEGF、EGF浓度显著低于健康对照组,且二者呈显著正相关.     

重型颅脑损伤后凝血功能变化的研究

目的研究重型颅脑损伤后凝血功能的变化及临床意义。方法对本院2005年3月至2006年2月收治的26例重型单纯性颅脑损伤患者（GCS≤8分）进行前瞻性研究，监测其入院当时、入院第2天、第3天及第7天的部分凝血活酶时间（APTT），凝血酶原时间（PT），纤维蛋白原（FIB）及凝血时间（TT）的变化。并检测14例单纯头部外伤患者在入院时的APTT、PT、FIB和TT值。结果APTT在入院3天明显升高。1周后仍未达到正常（P〈0．05）；PT在入院当天即升高（P〈0．05），1周左右逐步恢复正常；FIB在入院当天即升高，第3天下降（P〈0．05），1周左右逐步恢复正常。有3例按照DIC诊断标准诊断为DIC，结果在观察期间均死亡。结论重型颅脑损伤后可发生凝血功能异常，且外凝性凝血途径的启动早于内源性凝血途径。伤后早期即可发生高凝状态，至第3天左右向低凝状态转变，1周左右恢复正常。     

Spontaneous disappearance of a suprasellar arachnoid cyst: case report and review of the literature

Introduction Suprasellar arachnoid cysts are uncommon developmental anomalies that are most often diagnosed in childhood. Because the natural history and pathogenesis of these remain poorly defined, optimal treatment guidelines are not yet established.Case report We report a case of spontaneous disappearance of a suprasellar arachnoid cyst that persisted after a ventriculoperitoneal shunt performed 10 years earlier. A 5-year-old boy presented with impaired visual acuity and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed a large suprasellar cyst with noncommunicating hydrocephalus. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was put in place to alleviate current aggravation of hydrocephalus symptoms. Because of the persistent size of the cyst and signs of brainstem compression on a repeat computed tomography (CT), we recommended surgical exploration and decompression. However, the boy’s parents declined any further surgical treatment, and the patient was subsequently lost to follow-up for 10 years. When the patient returned to our clinic at the age of 15 years, a repeat MR scan showed a complete disappearance of the cyst. His family denied any significant interval history.Discussion This case represents only the third reported case of spontaneous disappearance of a suprasellar arachnoid cyst. We discuss possible mechanisms and clinical characteristics of the disappearance of the arachnoid cyst with review of the literature.     

理性看待高密度脂蛋白

由于新药toreetrapib的临床研究未获预期结果 ,以及残存心血管危险性这一概念的提出,近年人们再次对高密度脂蛋白(HDL)及高密度脂蛋白-胆固醇(HDL-C)给予高度关注.研究提示,在关注HDL-C水平的同时,不能忽视HDL的功能状态.目前最有效和安全的升高HDL-C水平的方法 还是生活方式调节,主要包括锻炼、减轻体重和戒烟等.
