Additional bedtime H2‐receptor antagonist for the control of nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough: A Cochrane systematic review

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness and safety of additional bedtime H₂‐receptor antagonists (H₂RAs) in suppressing nocturnal gastric acid breakthrough (NAB) via a systematic review. METHODS: Eligible trials were identified by searching the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2004), MEDLINE (January 1966–June 2004), EMBASE (January 1980–June 2004) and CINAHL (January 1982–June 2004). Additional hand‐searching was conducted on the proceedings of correlated conferences, eight important Chinese journals and references of all included trials. All randomized controlled trials evaluating H₂RAs for the control of NAB were eligible for inclusion. The systematic review was conducted using methods recommended by The Cochrane Collaboration. RESULTS: Only two randomized crossover studies, comprising 32 participants, met the inclusion criteria. Because the design, dosage and duration of the treatments were different between the studies, it was not possible to conduct meta‐analysis. There were no consistent conclusions found between the two included studies in evaluating H₂RAs for the control of NAB. CONCLUSIONS: No implications for practice at this stage can be concluded. Appropriately designed large‐scale randomized controlled trials with long‐term follow up are needed to determine the effects of additional bedtime H₂RAs in suppressing NAB.     

Per‐oral transgastric abdominal surgery

Laparoscopic surgery has several advantages over traditional surgery because it has been shown to be less invasive. The next logical step in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery may be to eliminate all abdominal incisions. The natural orifices provide a port of entry via the gastrointestinal tract to the peritoneal cavity. This approach would require the creation of a perforation, which is considered to be a major complication of endoscopy with significant morbidity and mortality. However, there are several recent studies that have described the technical feasibility and safety of a per‐oral transgastric approach to the peritoneal cavity using conventional endoscopes. Theoretically, this approach could reduce postoperative abdominal wall pain, wound infection, hernia formation, and adhesions. This article aims to summarize the current status of transgastric surgery, currently referred to as natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), and to address some of its future challenges.     

大鼠脑血肿周围组织半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达变化与尼莫地平的影响

目的：观察脑出血后血肿周围半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3的表达。及尼莫地平对其的影响。方法：实验于2004—07在大连医科大学中心实验室进行。取120只SD雄性大鼠随机分为3组：①尼莫地平组（n=50）：尾壳核注射自体股动脉血50μL复制脑出血模型，造模即刻腹腔注射尼莫地平1．6mg／kg（即8μL／g），以后每天1次。②模型组（n=50）：同前造模，术后腹腔注射等量生理盐水。③假手术组（n=20）：手术，但进针人尾壳核后不注血。各组分为术后6，24，48，72h、5d 5个时间点。造模动物醒后进行Bederson评分，评估其行为和神经功能缺陷（0—3分。评分越高，神经功能缺陷越重，评分≥2分为造模成功）。人组动物在以上5个时间点进行Bederson评分后，麻醉状态下处死取脑，经尾壳核行冠状切片，行免疫组化测定半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达。结果：80只大鼠进入结果分析。①Bederson评分：模型组、尼莫地平组大鼠醒后迅速出现偏瘫，24h后评分趋于稳定，至72h之间评分最高，然后逐渐下降，5d时仍有体征。模型组、尼莫地平组各时间点评分均高于对照组（P〈0．01），尼莫地平组术后48，72h评分低于模型组（P〈0.05）。②血肿周围组织半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达：假手术组进针侧脑组织表达很少，模型组6h后即有表达，24h达高峰，持续72h后逐渐下降，5d后仅有少量表达；尼莫地平组动态变化趋势与模型组相同，但各时间点的数值均较低，尤其是术后24～72h（P〈0．01）。结论：①脑出血后血肿周围组织中半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达升高，提示其与脑出血血肿周围组织损伤有一定关系。②尼莫地平降低脑出血后血肿周围组织中半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达，从而减轻细胞凋亡程度，对神经细胞起到保护作用，降低神经功能缺陷。

髓内钉在矫治儿童成骨不全严重肢体畸形中的应用

[目的]探讨用髓内钉治疗儿童成骨不全严重肢体畸形中的矫形和防止再骨折的作用。[方法]2000年1月-2004年8月期间，共治疗8例，男3例，女5例。术中均将弯曲股骨或胫骨行多段截骨后髓内钉固定。其中2．0mm克氏针置入2例，Ender钉3例，Nancy弹性髓内钉3例。[结果]术后8例畸形改善明显，随访9个月．5a，平均2．4a，随访中肢体未再发骨折，未见髓内针合并感染、骨不连等并发症。1例术前轮椅患儿术后可扶拐行走；1例发生克氏针骨外部分断裂。[结论]多段截骨矫形后内置髓内钉治疗儿童成骨不全，对矫正肢体畸形、减少再次骨折机会，效果确实可靠。     

γ-干扰素对大鼠胚胎基底前脑及隔区核团胆碱能神经元分化的影响

为了研究γ-干扰素(IFNγ)对大鼠胚胎基底前脑及隔区核团胆碱能神经元分化的作用,采用免疫组织化学方法对胆碱能神经元的特异性标记酶-胆碱乙酰基转移酶(ChAT)进行染色,ChAT阳性细胞的数量反映了胆碱能神经元的数量,并用14C-乙酰CoA作底物来检测ChAT活性。结果显示,IFNγ处理过的实验组,ChAT阳性细胞数量显著增加,ChAT活性也增加,这种增加被大鼠抗小鼠IFNγ单克隆抗体(Ab-IFNγ)完全拮抗。采用流式细胞术对细胞周期进行分析,细胞周期及细胞百分率无明显改变。用MAP2标记神经细胞,神经细胞数基本未增加。以上结果提示:IFNγ不能促进基底前脑和隔区神经元增殖,胆碱能神经元表达增加不是因为神经元数目增加而是分化的结果。
