原发性输尿管癌31例临床分析

目的：提高原发性输尿管癌的术前诊断水平。方法：对南京医科大学第一附属医院1989-2002年间收治的31例原发性输尿管癌的临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果：31例中，肉眼血尿22例(71．0％)，腰痛11例(35，5％)。B超、静脉肾盂造影(IVU)、CT和逆行造影检查的阳性率分别为输尿管腔内占位4例(13．0％)、输尿管腔内占位3例(11．5％)、膀胱或合并膀胱占位8例(36．4％)，输尿管充盈缺损6例(40．0％)。29例患者经手术治疗，其中13例行患侧肾、输尿管、膀胱袖状切除。结论：老年患者反复发作的腰痛及血尿应考虑原发性输尿管癌的可能，造影诊断对本病有较高价值，应作CT及MRU无创检查。     

Genome-wide scan identified QTLs underlying femoral neck cross-sectional geometry that are novel studied risk factors of osteoporosis.

A genome-wide screen was conducted using a large white sample to identify QTLs for FNCS geometry. We found significant linkage of FNCS parameters to 20q12 and Xq25, plus significant epistatic interactions and sex-specific QTLs influencing FNCS geometry variation. INTRODUCTION: Bone geometry, a highly heritable trait, is a critical component of bone strength that significantly determines osteoporotic fracture risk. Specifically, femoral neck cross-sectional (FNCS) geometry is significantly associated with hip fracture risk as well as genetic factors. However, genetic research in this respect is still in its infancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To identify the underlying genomic regions influencing FNCS variables, we performed a remarkably large-scale whole genome linkage scan involving 3998 individuals from 434 pedigrees for four FNCS geometry parameters, namely buckling ratio (BR), cross-sectional area (CSA), cortical thickness (CT), and section modulus (Z). The major statistical approach adopted is the variance component method implemented in SOLAR. RESULTS: Significant linkage evidence (threshold LOD = 3.72 after correction for tests of multiple phenotypes) was found in the regions of 20q12 and Xq25 for CT (LOD = 4.28 and 3.90, respectively). We also identified eight suggestive linkage signals (threshold LOD = 2.31 after correction for multiple tests) for the respective geometry traits. The above findings were supported by principal component linkage analysis. Of them, 20q12 was of particular interest because it was linked to multiple FNCS geometry traits and significantly interacted with five other genomic loci to influence CSA variation. The effects of 20q12 on FNCS geometry were present in both male and female subgroups. Subgroup analysis also revealed the presence of sex-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for FNCS traits in the regions such as 2p14, 3q26, 7q21 and 15q21. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings laid a foundation for further replication and fine-mapping studies as well as for positional and functional candidate gene studies, aiming at eventually finding the causal genetic variants and hidden mechanisms concerning FNCS geometry variation and the associated hip fractures.     

COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY IN TUBERCULOUSMENINGITIS

This paper reports computerized tomography(CT) findings in 21 cases of tuberculous meningitis,normal in 5 and abnormal in 16. ' The cases withabnormal CT findings were hydrocephalus, tuber-culoma, exudation in basal cisterns, brain edema andcerebral infarction. The incidence of hydrocephalusincreased with the duration and severity of illness.The Iocations of tuberculomas corresponded withpatients' clinical pictures. The study also indicatedthat patients wih normal or slighly changed scanshad good prognosis, but patients with severe hydrocephalus and exudation m basal cisterns had poorprognosis in spite of active medical treatment. CThas been proved valuable in diagnosis and treatmentof tuberculous meningitis.

Tumors of the skull base

Recognition of the many benign and malignant tumors that occur in the skull base is now simple, given three-dimensional CT scanning and MRI with enhancement. Recent developments in surgical technique have allowed these tumors to be approached, but only in the past two to three years has radical surgery been possible.     

广西武鸣华侨农场心血管病危险因素的调查研究

对广西武鸣华侨农场4158人进行基线普查,410人进行膳食调查和作8小时夜尿电解质测定,并将高血压低发区广西的资料与高发区的北京作对比.结果显示,体重指数高是高血压一个重要的危险因素,而体重过重又与膳食中摄入碳水化合物和总热量大有关.另一主要的危险因素是钠,膳食中摄入钠高,尿Na和Na/K比值高者,血压水平和高血压的患病率亦高.     

Gastric ulceration caused by heater probe coagulation

A double-contrast upper gastrointestinal examination on a woman who had undergone endoscopic heater probe therapy one day earlier for multiple arteriovenous malformations revealed shallow, irregular, and linear ulcers at the sites of heater probe coagulation. Multiple shallow ulcers may therefore develop as a direct complication of heater probe therapy. Radiologists should be aware of this complication to avoid diagnostic confusion in these patients.     

吸碘率曲线下面积与Graves病^131I治疗效果的观察

目的:分析131I治疗格雷夫斯(Graves)病的疗效与吸碘率曲线关系以探讨确定个体化给药剂量的可能。材料和方法:152例应用131I治疗的Graves病患者,根据疗效被分为治愈组和未愈组,比较两组间年龄、甲亢病史、甲状腺重量、血清游离T4、131I治疗剂量、24小时吸碘率以及吸碘率曲线下相对面积等。结果:两组间患者在甲状腺重量、甲亢发病时间、服药剂量、血清游离T4等方面均无显著性差异。未愈组患者年龄小于治愈组,两组间24小时最大吸碘率间无明显差异,但治愈组吸碘率曲线下相对面积(72.6±18.1)明显小于未愈组(81.5±15.4,P<0.005)。所有131I治疗患者的24小时最大吸碘率(88.2±12.5)明显大于吸碘率曲线下相对面积(75.8±17.6,P<0.001)。结论:Graves病患者吸碘率曲线下面积较24小时最大吸碘率更能够反应甲状腺组织的摄碘功能,可能是用来指导给药量计算的更好参数。     

High-specificity in-situ hybridization. Methods and application.

We describe a technique of in-situ hybridization using oligonucleotide probes employing the expression of immunoglobulin VH genes as a model. Optimal conditions for hybridization with the 35S-labeled oligonucleotide probes were established with monoclonal B-cell lines that express VH genes of known nucleic acid sequence. The range of sensitivity and specificity achieved with this technique is documented. Under conditions of high stringency, this method can detect the expression of highly related VH hypervariable regions.
