MHC—I类抗原加工途径异常与肿瘤关系的研究进展

随着免疫学研究的不断深入，MHC－I类抗原呈递细节已逐渐明晰，全面认识肿瘤细胞MHC－I类相关抗原加工途径缺陷或改变与肿瘤生物学及肿瘤临床的关系，将有助于肿瘤的诊治和预防。     

Antegrade interlocking nailing of humeral shaft fractures

The results of 39 humeral shaft fractures (37 patients) treated with antegrade locked nailing using a Russell–Taylor nail were reviewed. There were 30 acute fractures, 6 fractures malaligned in a hanging cast or brace, and 3 pathological fractures. Patient age ranged from 26 to 80 years (average, 59.7 years) and average follow-up was 25.7 months (range, 6–48 months). Fracture union was achieved in 92.3% of our cases, while shoulder function was excellent or good in 87.2% of cases. Antegrade locked nailing offers a dependable solution for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures, especially in polytrauma patients and cases of segmental or pathological fractures. Far less satisfactory results were obtained in comminuted fractures of the proximal third in the humerus, especially in osteoporotic patients, and we therefore advocate caution with the use of intramedullary nailing in this type of fracture. Certain technical aspects such as avoiding nailing the fracture in distraction, properly countersinking the tip of the nail, and achieving adequate fixation stability have been found to be of paramount importance to reduce the incidence of delayed union/non-union rate and to obtain better functional results from the shoulder joint.     

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。     

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch vs. gastric bypass for severe obesity

Conclusion In the year 2003 there is no “one best bariatric operation” for every severely obese patient. The choice of operation must be tailored to each individual patient’s needs and wishes. For the superobese patient, the patient diagnosed with intestinal metaplasia of the stomach, and for those patients who do not wish to undergo the severe dietary restrictions imposed by the RNY-GB, the BPD-DS is a valuable surgical option.     

Advances in the treatment of depression in older adults

Depressive symptoms in older adults are common, but the minority of elderly meet criteria for major depressive disorder. This has led to confusion regarding the recognition of diagnosis, approach to treatment, and monitoring of outcomes in this needy population. Few depressed older adults are willing to seek treatment from psychiatrists or mental health specialists. Treatment approaches to the depressive spectrum of disorders in late life, which encompasses major and minor depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and mood disorders related to medical conditions, must include evidence-based algorithms that can be delivered in a variety of health care settings. Several recent multisite trials have advanced the use of collaborative care models and the systematic stepwise approach to the treatment of depression and anxiety states in older adults. This offers the ability to provide effective treatment of depression for older adults, consistent with current guidelines, in primary care and specialized health care settings.
