Potential contribution of nuclear factor-kappaB to cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rabbits.

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays a key role in inflammation, which is involved in the development of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, we assessed the potential role of NF-kappaB in regulation of cerebral vasospasm. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA-binding activity was measured in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with hemolysate and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC, 80 micromol/L), an inhibitor of NF-kappaB. Forty-two rabbits were divided into three groups: control, SAH, and PDTC groups (n=14 for each group). The caliber of the basilar artery was evaluated. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA-binding activity and the gene expression levels of cytokines and adhesion molecules in the basilar artery were measured. Immunohistochemical study was performed to assess the expression and localization of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, and myeloperoxidase (MPO). It was observed that NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity was significantly increased by treatment with hemolysate in cultured VSCMs, but this increase was suppressed by pretreatment with PDTC. Severe vasospasm was observed in the SAH group, which was attenuated in the PDTC group. Subarachnoid hemorrhage could induce increases of NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity and the gene expression levels of TNF-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, ICAM-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, which were reduced in the PDTC group. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that the expression levels of TNF-alpha, ICAM-1, and MPO were all increased in the SAH group, but these increases were attenuated in the PDTC group. Our results suggest that NF-kappaB is activated in the arterial wall after SAH, which potentially leads to vasospasm development through induction of inflammatory response.     

梅花髓内针和交锁髓内钉治疗股骨干骨折的比较

目的 :比较梅花髓内针和交锁髓内钉治疗股骨干骨折的疗效。方法 :采用梅花针和交锁髓内钉内固定治疗股骨干骨折共 70例 ,比较两组的固定方法、术后处理、愈合时间、肢体与关节功能恢复情况、适应症的选择以及交锁髓内钉的应用体会。结果 :随访 10月～ 2 4月 ,骨折全部愈合 ,梅花针组 4 7例 ,平均愈合时间 7.5个月 ;交锁髓内钉组平均愈合时间 6 .5个月。肢体关节功能恢复 :梅花针组术后肢体成角畸形 15°2例 ,占 4 % ;膝关节活动 <70°3例 ,占 6 %。交锁髓内钉组 ,无成角畸形 ,膝关节活动均恢复正常。结论 :梅花髓内针最好的适应症是股骨干峡部的短斜或横行新鲜骨折 ;交锁髓内钉适应症较广泛 ,可用于所有的股骨干新鲜和陈旧性骨折 ,愈合时间较梅花针短 ,功能恢复良好 ,疗效明显优于梅花髓内针。

以计算机为基础的教学(CBE)在护理领域的应用现状

随着计算机和网络技术的普及应用，以计算机为基础的教育(Computer Based Education，CBE)特别是多媒体课件的应用在护理教育中越来越受重视。然而，我国CBE在护理领域的应用尚处于起步阶段，也存在着一些缺陷和不足，有待于进一步完善。

西安市2～3岁儿童的气质结构探讨

本文采用幼儿气质问卷(TTS)对233名2～3岁入托儿童的气质结构进行了研究。结果显示:该年龄组不同性别儿童的气质结构无明显差异;本组儿童的主要气质类型为中间偏易型(I一E),其次为容易抚育型(E);同西方(美国纽约)儿童比较,我国儿童的气质结构有一定特征。     

免疫荧光法与 Giemsa 氏法检测沙眼衣原体的比较

本文用免疫荧光法与 Giemsa 氏法检测明显沙眼患者,两法阳性率相差无几。但在临床肉眼观察认为正常时,其阳性率分别为24.77%及11.58%(P<0.05),差异有显著意义,表明免疫荧光法检测早期沙眼较 Giemsa 氏法敏感。临床认为正常眼,经实验室检查25.56%为阳性,说明开展沙眼的实验室诊断是必要的。     

抗人生长激素免疫血清的制备和鉴定

Using small dosage of human growth hormone to immunize rabbit or guinea pig, it is able to induce anti-hGH antibody formation with high titre and high affinity that could be applied to hGH RIA. In the present study five rabbits and three guinea pigs were immunized with 125-200 micrograms and 250-285 micrograms per animal of hGH respectively, followed by boosters of 10-20 or 160-250 micrograms of hGH at 2-4 week intervals for 6 or 3 months. Blood was drown 1-2 weeks before each booster for determination of antibody formation. Antibody titre and affinity were successively observed and specificity of antibody was determined for the final bleeding. It was shown that titres of immune sera from guinea pigs were much higher than those of rabbit immune sera, but vice versa for antibody affinity. This might be due to larger immunogen dose used for guinea pigs than for rabbits. Fourteen different peptide hormones were tested in reference to cross-immunoreactivity to anti-hGH antibody. It could be demonstrated that the major cross-reactive hormones are hFSH and hLH, and hTSH also reacts to rabbit anti-hGH immune sera at a lesser degree. These cross reactivities are obviously owing to the molecular homogeneities between hGH and these hormones especially of their alpha-subunits.
