血管内氧合器的研制

为了探索呼吸辅助的新方法，我们采用国产聚丙烯中空纤维，自行设计、制造模具，研制出一种血管内氧合器。该氧合器是一个小的、细长的可经单侧股静脉或颈静脉切开，置入腔静脉内的装置。氧合器有效长度４０ｃｍ，膜交换面积０．０９ｍ＾２。经负压调节通过血管内氧合器的氧流量，以防止纤维破裂造成的血管内气栓的危险。一根双腔导气管使气体经同一静脉切开部位循环，气体经内芯管流经血管内氧合器尖端，然后经中空纤维束流出。目前     

Purification and chemical modification of porcine bone morphogenetic protein

Implantation of porcine bone morphogenetic protein (pBMP) in the muscle induces differentiation of mesenchymal-type cells and results in endochondral bone formation. pBMP was isolated from porcine demineralized bone matrix and purified by hydroxyapatite chromatography, Sephadex G75 gel filtration, preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), preparative isoelectric focusing (IEF), and chromatofocusing fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). Porcine BMP has an MW of 26 K and a range of pI from 4.65 to 4.73 determined by SDS-PAGE and IEF, respectively. Reconstitution with the citrate buffer supernatant fraction enables as little as 50 micrograms of the soluble pBMP fractions to induce osteogenesis in an in vivo assay. Chemical modification studies indicate that the osteoinductive potential of the pBMP molecule depends on tyrosine, carboxyl groups, and disulfide bonds and can be increased by modification of sulfhydryl groups. Modification of arginine and tryptophan has no effect on bioactivity. By pepsin-limited proteolysis, fragments of pBMP with an MW of 6-14 K show definite, although reduced, BMP activity.

Propionic acidemia: report of a case that is successfully managed by peritoneal dialysis and sodium benzoate therapy

Propionic acidemia is a rare hereditary disease which is an autosomal recessive disorder. Defect of propionyl CoA carboxylase results in abnormal accumulation of propionate and its metabolites which interfere the pathway of glycine cleavage and the urea cycle. This organic acidemia is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical and biochemical findings, including recurrent vomiting, difficult feeding, lethargy, hypotonia, metabolic ketoacidosis, hyperglycinemia and hyperammonemia during the acute episodes. We present a male newborn infant who sustained this disorder and was managed successfully with blood exchange transfusion, peritoneal dialysis, supplemented with sodium benzoate and sodium bicarbonate therapy. Urine gas chromatography disclosed significant elevation of propionate and its metabolites which subsided 2 days after peritoneal dialysis. Special designed formula was then given with restriction of protein intake and supplement with sodium benzoate and sodium carbonate. Prenatal genetic counseling is necessary in further pregnancy. Diagnosis can be obtained when propionyl CoA carboxylase activity is low in cultured amniotic fluid cells or chorion villi sample or when there is abnormally high methylcitrate level in amniotic fluid.     

严重鼻衄行颌内动脉栓塞术并发脑梗塞死亡

报道１例严重鼻衄伴高血压、动脉硬化患者，经常规方法止血无效，行患侧颌内动脉超选择性栓塞术。术后鼻出血停止，但出现脑梗塞、昏迷，经抢救无效，于术后第９天死亡。认为对有动脉硬化的患者，应不用或慎用超选择性动脉栓塞术。     

Inhaled natural human interferon alpha induces bronchospastic reactions in asthmatics.

There is a relationship between viral infection and aggravation of bronchial asthma symptoms. Viruses belong to the strongest and fast acting inducers of interferon (IFN), which, in turn, may enhance histamine release from effector cells. We have administered IFN intrabronchially to 49 patients suffering from bronchial asthma. The impairment of lung ventilation with significant decrease of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) have been observed in majority of the patients who inhaled crude or purified IFN preparations.     

A Bronchial Response Comparison of Exercise and Methacholine in Asthmatic Subjects

The authors compared the inhaled methacholine and exercise responses in 22 stable unmedicated asthmatic patients. The exercise and methacholine challenges were performed at one to three week intervals. Bronchial responsiveness to methacholine was measured in relation to the concentration of methacholine (PC₂₀M). The response to exercise was expressed as the percentage of fall in FEV₁, from the pre-exercise FEV₁ The findings showed that 21 of 22 subjects demonstrated a fall in FEV₁, of more than 20% after methacholine challenge, while only 9/22 subjects experienced a similar decrease in FEV₁. All 9 of these positive response exercise cases completed three consecutive exercise challenges prior to the methacholine challenge. Of these cases, five were refractory to the repeated exercise challenge, and the PD₂₀M at the nonexercise stage was significantly lower than the postexercise state. In fact, the methacholine challenge sensitivity actually decreased (PD₂₀ increased) after repeated exercise. The authors concluded that methacholine seems to be a more sensitive bronchial provocation test than exercise. Second, only 55.6% of the exercise test-positive subjects were refractory to the second exercise challenge. Therefore, other factors besides the release of mediators should be considered in exercise induced asthma. Third, methacholine sensitivity actually decreased (PD₂₀ increases) after repeat exercise challenge.
