Anatomic and spiral computed tomographic study of the genial tubercles for genioglossus advancement.

OBJECTIVE: To measure and compare Chinese mandibular genial tubercles measured anatomically and with computed tomography (CT). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Spiral CT scans were taken of 40 adult human skulls; the superior genial spines were measured using anatomic and CT methods. RESULTS: The height and width of the superior genial spines, mandible thickness, and distance from the menton to the inferior and superior margins of the superior genial spines were 5.82 +/- 0.71, 6.98 +/- 1.35, 11.95 +/- 1.59, 11.08 +/- 2.05, and 16.91 +/- 2.30 mm from anatomic measurements and 6.17 +/- 0.71, 7.01 +/- 1.13, 12.19 +/- 1.64, 10.41 +/- 1.55, and 15.73 +/- 2.12 mm using spiral CT, respectively. The anatomic and CT measurements were correlated. CONCLUSION: Spiral CT of the genial tubercles can help locate the osteotomy in genioglossus advancement. SIGNIFICANCE: This study acquired reference data on Chinese genial tubercles demonstrating that CT measurements of the genial tubercles reflect their anatomy, which should allow accurately locate the osteotomy.

脐带夹对防止脐部感染和出血的临床与实验研究

目的应用国产脐带夹用于农村山区破伤风高发区，并经离体试验验证其可靠性。方法经湖南、江西、广西等省基层接生员临床应用、并与当地同期或前一年未用夹者进行对照；同时经离体脐带用脐带夹、气门芯或纱线结扎阻断血管后进行金黄色葡萄球菌和破伤风毒素通透试验以及测试承受气压程度试验。结果1年临床使用2296例中，无1例发生破伤风和败血症。可靠性试验结果证明，粗纱线结扎最差，气门芯虽优于前者，但不如脐带夹。结论该脐带夹由于夹持力持久有力，细菌、毒素难以通过、安全可靠，因此能降低新生儿“病从脐入”的发病率和死亡率，有利干优生优育的贯彻．这是一项花费少、收效大的简而易行的适宜技术，值得推广。

NGF prevents the changes induced by monocular deprivation during the critical period in rats

Photic evoked responses were recorded from the striate cortex of Long-Evans hooded intact, monocular visual deprivation (MD) and MD treated with NGF rats. The averaged visual evoked responses (AVER) were obtained from both hemispheres and provided comparison after binocular photic stimuli between the contralateral and the ipsilateral striate cortex with relation to the MD eye. One month of monocular visual deprivation at the critical period of development resulted in marked reduction of the amplitudes of AVER components as compared to the control recordings (P < 0.001). These changes of the AVER could be prevented by NGF infusion to lateral ventricle at the dosage of 2.0–2.4 μg/day for four weeks during the monocular deprivation. In conclusion, the change of AVER amplitudes induced by monocular visual deprivation during the critical period of development can be prevented by NGF infusion to lateral ventricle.     

“90增血剂”对特发性血小板减少性紫裥患者的T细胞亚群的作用

作者根据现代免疫学观点,自1989年起采用自制中药“90增血剂”治疗ITP46例。期间,应用间接免疫荧光技术检测了患者外周血T淋巴细胞亚群,结果表明病例组全T细胞(CD_3)、T辅助/诱导细胞(CD_4)降低,T抑制/细胞毒细胞(CD_8)增高,CD_4/CD_8比值明显降低。治疗后,患者T亚群恢复常态,血小板数上升,骨髓产板型巨核细胞数增加,临床总有效率达91.2%,明显优于激素组(71.4%)。提示中药具有显著的疗效和良好的免疫调节作用。同时,动态观察ITP患者T细胞亚群的变化,对帮助临床判断治疗反应和预后有很大意义。     

Genetic basis of tobacco smoking: strong association of a specific major histocompatibility complex haplotype on chromosome 6 with smoking behavior

The genetic basis for addiction to tobacco smoking--particularly that of the perception of olfactory stimuli that may be important in reinforcing smoking addiction--is largely unknown. A cluster of genes for olfactory receptors is in close proximity to the MHC region on chromosome 6. Polymorphisms of MHC class III genes (RCCX modules, TNFA promoter polymorphisms) were determined in 101 healthy subjects and 232 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients from Hungary with defined tobacco smoking habits. A highly significant association between ever smoking (past + current smokers) and a specific MHC haplotype was observed (odds ratios = 2.14-4.13; P-values = 0.012 to <0.001). This haplotype is characterized by the presence of C4A null alleles and a solitary short C4B gene linked to the TNF2 allele of the promoter for TNFA gene. This haplotype occurred more frequently in the ever smokers than in the never smokers [odds ratio: 4.97 (1.96-12.62); P = 0.001], and such associations were stronger in women (odds ratio = 13.6) than in men (odds ratio = 2.79). An independent study of complement C4 protein polymorphism and smoking habits in Icelandic subjects (n = 351) yielded similar and confirmative results. Considering the documented link between olfactory stimuli and smoking in females, and the presence of a cluster of odorant receptor genes close to the MHC class I region, our findings implicate a potential role of the MHC-linked olfactory receptor genes in the initiation of smoking.
