NMDA受体与NOS在大鼠脊髓中间外侧柱的定位和生后发育

目的 探讨N-甲基-天冬氨酸受体（NMDAR1和NMDAR2A/B亚基）、一氧化氮合酶（NOS）及还原型辅酶Ⅱ硫辛酰胺脱氢酶（NADPH-d）活性在大鼠脊髓中间外侧柱（IML）的定位与生后发育特征。方法 在甲醛固定的脊髓切片上,进行ABC法免疫染色和NADPH-d组织化学反应与半定量分析。结果 MMDAR1,NMDAR2A/B,NOS I和NADPH-d反应产物丰富地分布于IML,主要定位于神经元胞体、树突和轴突样纤维终末。在生后早期发育中它们具有明显的动态变化,生后7d(P7）有微弱或中等的表达,随后逐渐上调,P21或P28达到高峰,然后保持于此水平于成体动物。结论 NMDA受体-NO通路可能是脊髓交感节前神经元一条重要的细胞内信号途径,并参与神经元生后发育成熟的调控过程。

Estrogen replacement therapy among elderly women: results from the 1995 medicare current beneficiary survey

Research Objectives: To develop population-based estimates of estrogen replacement therapy use rates in 1995 among women over age 65 living in the community; to estimate the impact of socioeconomic and health characteristics on estrogen use. Method: Estimates are based on a large, nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries; detailed self-report data were merged with Medicare claims. Results: Overall, 13.1% of women reported use of estrogen replacement therapy in 1995. Estrogen users were more likely to be white, age 65–74, with private insurance, high income, history of osteoporosis and heart problems, no history of breast cancer, and a patient of gynecologists. Conclusions: Estrogen use was substantially lower among the socioeconomically disadvantaged, controlling for medical history variables, suggesting considerable inequity in access to estrogen replacement therapy treatment.

Histological outcome of acute cellular rejection in kidney transplantation after treatment with methylprednisolone

BACKGROUND: Several studies comparing the response of acute cellular rejection (ACR) episodes to different corticosteroid regimens have been conducted. However, in most of them, the histological evaluation of the infiltrate and its correlation with clinical response was not studied. The clinical and histological outcomes of 37 episodes of ACR treated with methylprednisolone (MP) were studied, with the aim to determine how long the infiltrate takes to be cleared after therapy. METHODS: A total of 37 patients with biopsy-proven ACR were treated with 8 or 16 mg of MP/kg/day. Allograft biopsies were repeated at 5 and 10 days after the end of corticotherapy. Clinical and histological outcomes were compared. RESULTS: Six patients were excluded; 15 (48.4%) patients responded to therapy; the mean serum creatinine of these patients reached normal levels in the 2 weeks that followed treatment. Nine patients (60%) of this group had signs of ACR on biopsies done 5 days after corticotherapy, and four (26.7%) maintained them on the 10th day. Among 16 patients with no clinical response, none reached normal serum creatinine levels; 15 (93.7%) had signs of rejection 5 days after treatment and maintained them on the 10th day. Histological signs of ACR disappeared in 73.3% of patients with clinical response 10 days after therapy, but in only 6.3% of patients with no response (P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Biopsies performed 5 days after treatment show a high incidence of features of ACR; such features take on average 10 days to disappear in nearly 75% of cases with successful therapy with MP.     

Back to the future for wound care?

The European Renaissance was a time of enormous change and rapid progress in the arts, sciences, and medicine. A glimpse of wound care in the last phase of the European Renaissance is provided by the analysis of work by Wilhelm Fabry, the "father of German surgery," as provided in his book De Combustionibus ("Burns") which details his range of treatments for the burn wound, as well as his approach to the later problems of scarring and contracture. We describe some of the historic events which may have stimulated Fabry's writings, in particular, the influences passed down from the medical school of Padua which thereby advanced the cause of wound care and surgery. Finally, we briefly explore the potential of such an approach to the works of our medical forefathers.     

Reading, Demographic, Social and Psychological Factors Related to Pre-adolescent Smoking and Non-smoking Behaviors and Attitudes

The purpose of this study was to examine reading, demographic, social and psychological factors related to pre-adolescent smoking and non-smoking behaviors and attitudes. The school-home humanistic education program was implemented in a large, urban public school system. It stressed responsible decision-making, increased self-esteem and the inter-relationships among the acquisition of knowledge of the consequences of smoking, personal feelings, family relationships and behavior. The results showed that family involvement was necessary to affect smoking attitudes and behaviors. Of all the variables studied, reading had a most pervasive relationship. Peer influence and self-esteem also were related to smoking knowledge, smoking attitude, future smoking intentions and the "purchase" of cigarettes. Two of several conclusions drawn from the results are: 1. Family involvement is necessary to affect attitudes and behaviors. 2. Health education research that does not investigate the relationship between program outcomes and reading achievement may be misleading.
