Primate endocrine function after pancreatico-duodenal-splenic allotransplantation

In this study the endocrine function following intraperitoneal hetero- and orthotopic pancreatico-duodenal-splenic allotransplantation (PDS) in hemipancreatectomized, non-immune-suppressed chacma baboons was assessed. Significantly reduced K-values and insulin release together with glucose intolerance during IVGTT were observed in hemipancreatectomized recipients (HPS) without grafts. Orthotopic and heterotopic PDS transplantation improved the glucose intolerance of HPS recipients; orthotopically sited grafts rendering the best curves. Normal glucose tolerance was not achieved. Both orthotopic and heterotopic PDS transplantation rendered suboptimal insulin release during IVGTT; heterotopically draining grafts released significantly more insulin than orthotopic grafts. Hyperglucagonaemia during IVGTT was a constant feature in both groups, heterotopic grafts releasing the most glucagon during stimulation. C-peptide release was significantly lower in orthotopic grafts compared to normal animals or heterotopically drained insulin. It is concluded that glucose tolerance was not directly related to insulin or glucagon release in this study as orthotopic grafts rendered near-normal IVGTT curves in the presence of hypoinsulinaemia, hyperglucagonaemia, and reduced C-peptide values. The hormonal response after PDS transplantation was variable and the advantages of portal vs systemic insulin drainage remain to be defined.

Functional signatures of protective antiviral T-cell immunity in human virus infections

Summary: The most common human viruses have different abilities to establish persistent chronic infection. Virus‐specific T‐cell responses are critical in the control of virus replication and in the prevention of disease in chronic infection. A large number of phenotypic markers and a series of functions have been used to characterize virus‐specific CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T‐cell responses, and these studies have shown great phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of the T‐cell responses against different viruses. The heterogeneity of the T‐cell response has been proposed to be specific to each virus. However, over the past 2 years, several studies have provided evidence that the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T‐cell responses is predominantly regulated by the levels of antigen load. The levels of antigen load modulate the phenotypic and functional patterns of the T‐cell response within the same virus infection. Furthermore, the functional characterization of virus‐specific CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T‐cell responses has identified signatures of protective antiviral immunity. Polyfunctional, i.e. interleukin‐2 and interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) secretion and proliferation, and not monofunctional, i.e. IFN‐γ secretion, CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T‐cell responses represent correlates of protective antiviral immunity in chronic virus infections.     

低脉压与晚期慢性心衰患者利钠肽和死亡率升高独立相关

目的:脉压(PP)升高一贯用来预测有心血管疾病危险患者和轻度慢性心衰(CH F)患者的心血管疾病发生率和死亡率增高。相反,PP降低与急性失代偿性心衰患者死亡率升高相关。然而,尚不清楚PP对于晚期CH F患者的预测价值。方法和结果:采用Cox比例风险回归分析研究了1901例N YH A III或IV级CH F患者(平均年龄65岁,平均射血分数26%)的资料,经校正其他危险因素后,分析PP对死亡率的影响。检测了1个亚组患者的利钠肽水平。多元Cox回归分析表明,PP降低与死亡率增高相关(每增加10m m H g的H R为0.91,95%CI0.93～0.99),这一相关性独立于平均…     

农村冠心病易患因素的多元分析

报告1100名35岁以上农民冠心病患病率及易患因素的调查结果。全组中检出冠心病15例,其中陈旧心肌梗塞3例、心绞痛7例、心律失常及不典型心绞痛伴有心电图缺血型改变者5例,冠心病现患率为1.36%。另有单纯ST-T 缺血型改变84例,各种严重心律失常36例,未计入冠心病现患率之内.经单变量线性相关及多变量Logistic 函数分析结果,选出有意义的冠心病易患因素有甘油三酯、年龄及收缩期血压增高,以及血浆高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的降低。

肝癌及癌旁组织中丙型肝炎病毒基因负链的研究

运用巢式聚合酶链反应（ＰＣＲ）等方法检测了５例丙型肝炎病毒核糖核酸（ＨＣＶ—ＲＮＡ）阳性患者的肝癌、癌旁组织和周围血清中ＨＣＶ—ＲＮＡ正链和负链，其中男４例，女１例。结果，正链检测：血清及癌旁组织全部阳性，癌组织中３例阳性。负链检测：血清中均阴性，癌组织３例阳性，癌旁组织５例均阳性。本组５例患者肝脏ＨＣＶ—ＲＮＡ负链阳性，推测ＨＣＶ以ＨＣＶ—ＲＮＡ负链作为模板在感染的肝脏组织中复制，ＨＣＶ持续存在于肝脏组织中对肝癌的发生起了一定的作用。     

Frequent fetal heart-rate monitoring for early detection of abruptio placentae in severe proteinuric hypertension

Abruptio placentae occurred in 16 of 132 patients with severe pre-eclampsia who were admitted to an obstetric high-risk ward before 34 weeks' gestation. These 16 patients were compared with those who did not develop abruptio placentae. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, proteinuria and birth weights did not differ significantly between the two groups. Apgar scores were significantly lower in the abruptio placentae group. There were 6 intra-uterine and 2 neonatal deaths in the abruptio placentae group (50% perinatal mortality (PNM] and 3 intra-uterine and 16 neonatal deaths in the other group (18% PNM). Four patients with abruptio placentae presented with abnormal fetal heart-rate patterns and 8 with abdominal pain. No warning signs were present in 3 patients and the fetal heart-rate pattern before delivery was not available in 1 patient. Abnormal fetal heart-rate patterns were present in 5 of the 8 patients who presented with pain. Abruptio placentae occurring in patients with severe proteinuric hypertension carries a high PNM. Frequent monitoring of the fetal heart rate sometimes helps to diagnose fetal distress before the clinical signs of abruption become apparent.
