重视老年胃癌患者的围手术期处理(附370例报告)

目的 总结老年胃癌的临床特点及围手术期处理经验。方法 回顾性分析我院1990年1月至2003年1月间共收治的370例老年胃癌患者的临床资料。结果 370例老年胃癌中290例（78．4％）伴有高血压、心脏病、糖尿病等老年常见病；术后发生并发症110例次，死亡16例；手术前有共存病者术后并发症的发生率（34．5％）明显高于无共存病者（12．5％），P〈0．01。结论 加强围手术期处理是降低老年胃癌患者并发症和死亡率的关键。     

Conditionally replicating luciferase reporter phages: improved sensitivity for rapid detection and assessment of drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TM4 is a lytic mycobacteriophage which infects mycobacteria of clinical importance. A luciferase reporter phage, phAE40, has been constructed from TM4 and was previously shown to be useful for the rapid detection and drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the lytic nature of the phage results in a loss of detectable light output and limits the sensitivity of detection. We describe several strategies aimed at improving the luciferase activity generated by TM4 luciferase phages, including (i) varying the position of the luciferase gene in the phage genome, (ii) isolating host-range mutants of the phage, and (iii) introducing temperature-sensitive mutations in the phage such that it will not replicate at the infecting temperature. Several new phages generated by these methods show increased intensity of luciferase production compared to the first-generation reporter phage phAE40, and one phage, phAE88, also demonstrates an enhanced duration of luciferase activity. This has allowed the detection of as few as 120 BCG cells and the determination of drug susceptibilities of M. tuberculosis in as little as 1 day.     

Investigation of basic imaging properties in digital radiography. 8. Detection of simulated low-contrast objects in digital subtraction angiographic images

We investigated the effects of imaging and display conditions on the detectability of low-contrast objects in digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) images. The test images were produced by superimposition of low-contrast objects on a uniform noisy background obtained with a DSA system. We employed 18-alternative forced-choice (18-AFC) experiments and predictions based on statistical decision theory to study the dependence of the threshold contrasts of the test objects on the object size, incident x-ray exposure, display window width, and display medium. The results indicated that the threshold contrast decreased with increasing object size, and that the detectability of an object of a given size increased with increasing incident x-ray exposure and decreasing width of the display window. We found that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained from the perceived statistical decision theory model, which includes the observer's internal noise, can accurately predict the detectability of low-contrast objects in DSA images. The threshold SNR corresponding to 50% correct detection in the 18-AFC experiments had a constant value of 3.8, in agreement with results reported previously for screen-film systems. The theoretical model will be useful for prediction of the performance of a DSA system based on its physical characteristics, and for evaluation of the tradeoff between patient exposure and diagnostic accuracy for a given DSA unit.

Toxicity, inflammation, and anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 activity following exposure to chemical moieties of C31G.

C31G, which has potent activity against the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and an established record of safety in animal studies and human trials, is a microbicidal agent comprised of a buffered equimolar mixture of two amphoteric, surface-active agents: an alkyl amine oxide (C14AO) and an alkyl betaine (C16B). Studies of long-term in vitro exposure to C31G and its constituents have suggested that the components of C31G may contribute differentially to its toxicity and efficacy. In the present studies, in vitro assays of cytotoxicity and anti-HIV-1 activity demonstrated that C16B was slightly less cytotoxic compared to either C31G or C14AO, whereas the anti-HIV-1 activities of C31G and its individual constituents were similar. In the murine model of cervicovaginal microbicide toxicity, in vivo exposure to C14AO resulted in severe cervical inflammation followed by a delayed disruption of the columnar epithelium. In contrast, exposure to C16B caused severe cervical epithelial disruption and a secondary, less intense inflammatory response. These results demonstrate that (i) there are both mechanistic and temporal differences in toxicity associated with the components of C31G not necessarily predicted by in vitro assessments of cytotoxicity and (ii) contributions of each component to the anti-HIV-1 activity of C31G appear to be equal. In addition, these findings indicate that direct and indirect mechanisms of in vivo toxicity can be observed as separate but interrelated events. These results provide further insight into the activity of C31G, as well as mechanisms potentially associated with microbicide toxicity.
