Comparative study on healing process between vascularized and non-vascularized autogenous bone grafts]

This study made a histological comparison (light microscope and transmission electron microscope) between vascularized bone graft (VBG) and non-vascularized bone graft (NVBG) in mandible of dog.The study showed:the healing process of VBG was the same as that of bone fracture.The "creeping substitution" process of NVBG was imbued with the inflammation induced by dead bone.There was no significat difference on the bone union between VBG and NVBG perhaps for the recipient region was better vascularized.     

米氮平治疗神经性厌食症的疗效对照研究

目的：观察米氮平对神经性厌食症的疗效。方法：42例符合CCMD-3神经性厌食症患者被随机分成2组，分别给予米氮平和5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs）治疗12周，而后随访12周。比较患者治疗前后的体重变化、汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAMD）和汉密尔顿焦虑量表（HAMA）评分及药物不良反应。结果：共38例患者完成治疗全过程，其中米氮平组20例，SSRIs组18例。在治疗6周时，米氮平组的体重增加大于SSRIs组，差异有显著性（P〈0．01）；治疗12周时，两组体重增加值差异没有显著性。治疗后两组HAMD和HAMA评分均明显减低（P〈0．01），但两组间差异无显著性（P〉0．05）。两组均未出现严重的药物不良反应，主要不良反应SSRIs组为胃肠道不适，米氮平有嗜睡、体重增加等。结论：米氮平能明显提高神经性厌食症患者的食欲和体重，改善焦虑抑郁情绪，依从性好，起效时间早于SSRIs，值得在临床上选用。     

Artificial Circulation of the Liver: Machine Perfusion as a Preservation Method in Liver Transplantation

Due to the sharp increase in liver transplant candidates and the subsequent shortage of suitable donor livers, an extension of the current donor criteria is necessary. Simple cold storage, the current standard in organ preservation has proven to be insufficient to preserve extended criteria donor livers. Therefore a renewed interest grew toward alternative methods for liver preservation, such as hypothermic machine perfusion and normothermic machine perfusion. These “new” preservation methods were primarily assessed in rat models, and only a few clinically relevant large animal models have been described so far. This review will elaborate on these alternative preservation methods. Anat Rec, 291:735–740, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

白细胞介素—1对大鼠下丘脑室旁核Fos癌蛋白和CRF的诱导作用

将白细胞介素-1(IL)注入大鼠侧脑室,用Fos癌蛋白抗体免疫组化法检测了下丘脑室旁核的激活神经元:大量位于含促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子(CRF)相应区域的室旁核小细胞部神经元呈Fos免疫强阳性。Fos和CRF的免疫双染色显示了许多Fos免疫阳性神经元也呈CRF免疫阳性。此外,在IL-1注射动物中,CRF的免疫阳性显著加强,提示CRF合成增加。     

Study of severe hepatitis treated with a hybrid artificial liver support system

Artificial liver support system (ALSS) has been used to treat hepatic failure and has significantly decreased the mortality. TECA hybrid artificial liver support system (TECA-HALSS), which combines the hollow fiber bioreactor with a plasma exchange circuit, was used to assess the efficacy, safety and feasibility in treating severe hepatitis patients. The hybrid artificial liver support system (HALSS) consists of a bioreactor containing more than 5 x10(9) porcine hepatocytes and plasma exchange device. Fifteen patients with severe hepatitis were treated with this hybrid system. All patients experienced a reduction in symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal distention or ascites. After each treatment serum total bilirubin decreased markedly while prothrombin activity increased. There were ten patients whose progress of hepatocyte necrosis was stopped after HALSS treatment, and finally they recovered completely. One patient received liver transplantation after HALSS therapy and survived. No serious adverse events were noted in the fifteen patients.     

IL-1β诱导体外培养的大鼠中脑黑质神经元c-jun表达

应用细胞原位杂交技术，观察经重组小鼠白细胞介素-19（IL-1β）处理后的体外培养的新生1d大鼠中脑黑质神经元c－jun基因的表达．结果显示，培养的黑质细胞多为酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元，IL-1β可诱导体外培养的黑质神经元c－junmRNA表达，高水平的表达出现在IL-1β处理后2～4h。说明IL－1β有兴奋黑质神经元的作用，并提示黑质神经元上可能存在IL－1β受体．     

应用聚合酶链反应技术检测肝组织中的HBV－DNA

采用聚合酶链反应（ＰＣＲ）技术，对４２例肝活切组织石蜡切片中乙型肝炎病毒（ＨＢＶ）ＤＮＡ进行检测，并与乙肝表面抗原（ＨＢｓＡｇ）的免疫组织化学及血清学检测进行比较，ＨＢＶ－ＰＣＲ阳性率为７３．８％，高于组织及血清ＨＢｓＡｇ阳性率（分别为５９．５％和５０．０％）。３例病理形态呈肝炎改变，而血清ＨＢｓＡｇ（─）的肝组织中有２例检出ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ，提示ＰＣＲ的高度敏感性和准确性。８３．３％的门脉性肝硬变和８７．５％的肝细胞癌组织中ＨＢＶ－ＰＣＲ呈阳性，进一步证实了上述两病与ＨＢＶ的关系密切。我们还发现肝细胞淤胆患者ＨＢＶ感染率较高，ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ及组织ＨＢｓＡｇ阳性比例各为６／９和４／８。
