Neurofibromatosis type 1: brain stem tumours

We describe the clinical and imaging findings of brain stem tumours in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The NF1 patients imaged between January 1984 and January 1996 were reviewed and 25 patients were identified with a brain stem tumour. Clinical, radiographical and pathological results were obtained by review of records and images. Brain stem tumour identification occurred much later than the clinical diagnosis of NF1. Medullary enlargement was most frequent (68 %), followed by pontine (52 %) and midbrain enlargement (44 %). Patients were further subdivided into those with diffuse (12 patients) and those with focal (13 patients) tumours. Treatment for hydrocephalus was required in 67 % of the first group and only 15 % of the second group. Surgery was performed in four patients and revealed fibrillary astrocytomas, one of which progressed to an anaplastic astrocytoma. In 40 % of patients both brain stem and optic pathway tumours were present. The biological behaviour of brain stem tumours in NF1 is unknown. Diffuse tumours in the patients with NF1 appear to have a much more favourable prognosis than patients with similar tumours without neurofibromatosis type 1.

消炎痛及乙胺嗪对动物急性缺氧性肺、脑血管反应的影响

研究消炎痛及乙胺嗪对家兔肺、脑血管和大鼠脑微动脉缺氧反应的影响。发现吸入10％氧使家兔肺血管阻力(PVR)增加,脑血管阻力(CVR)降低,大鼠脑微动脉扩张。用消炎痛明显增强家兔缺氧性肺、脑血管反应。△PVR％由用药前26.6±16.7％增至44.2±7.7％;△CVR％则由一12.9±4.5％减至-30.7±4.7％;大鼠微动脉直径增大率(△D％)由用药前28.2±2.0％增至41.3±5.8％;用乙胺嗪则使缺氧时△PVR％由 84.6±18.1％降至 23.8±8.5％;△CVR％由-16.7±4.5％变为 6.9±2.8％;△D％由 29.7±5.8％减至 25.6±5.0％。结果表明前列腺素在缺氧性肺血管收缩反应及脑血管扩张反应中起调节作用,而白三烯则在缺氧性肺血管收缩反应中起介导作用。     

Retrograde air insufflation in MRI: A technical note

Retrograde air insufflation was employed to distend the colon and the ileum in 18 patients and five volunteers for magnetic resonance examination. Good and moderate marking of the ileum was obtained in 18 cases. The colon was nearly completely distended in every case. Intraluminal tumor, mural thickening, and extraluminal lesion were outlined by intraluminal air and surrounding air-distended bowel. This study shows that retrograde air insufflation is a useful method to mark the colon and most parts of the ileum.     

儿科住院病人药物不良反应监测

通过4家医院儿科病人为期1年的药物不良反应协作监测，对1856例住院病人的药物不良反应进行前瞻性观察。发现107例发生了药物不良反应，发生率为5．8％。其中A型反应79例（73．8％），B型28例（26．2％）。药物不良反应致停药者48例，需处理者31例，致死者1例。因药物不良反应致住院者27例、不良反应发生率与庄院时间，共用药物数量，疾病构成有关。小儿某些生理特征对药物不良反应发生有显著影响。     

药物浓度和病因对三磷酸腺苷治疗阵发性室上性心动过速的影响

本文报告23例次ATP治疗PSVT的效果,总有效率56.5％,9例次高浓度快速注射者8例转复。器质性心脏病者副作用较多,1例冠心速注高浓度ATP后,发生心室颤动和阿-斯氏综合征。这一结果提示:药物浓度和注射速度是影响疗效的主要因素,PSVT伴AVB者疗效也很低;病因和药物浓度是决定副作用的因素。因此,对于器质性心脏病者,尤其冠心病人,应避免高浓度快速静脉注射ATP。     

The role of oxygen free radicals in craniocerebral injury

Serum LPO content was measured by means of TBA in 41 patients suffering from craniocerebral injury in present study. The relationships between OFR and progressing course of craniocerebral injury, level of LPO and patient condition of an injury and prognosis were analysed. Results showed that serum LPO increased obviously in 24 hours after injury. The more severe the condition of an injury was, the higher the serum LPO content was, the worse prognosis would be. Serum LPO content increased statistically in group of death in 24 to 72 hours after injury, while it didn't change significantly in group of survival. The author suggest that the reaction of OFR enhanced after craniocerebral injury, and which was an important factor giving rise to secondary brain injury. Measurement of serum LPO content plays an important role in estimating the patients condition of injury and their prognosis.     

日本血吸虫感染小鼠脾细胞IL—2及IFN—γ动态观察

本文观察８ｗｋ龄Ｃ５７ＢＬ／６小鼠感染日本血吸虫尾蚴后不同时期脾细胞经ＳＥＡ或ＣｏｎＡ刺激，体外诱生的ＩＬ－２和ＩＦＮ－γ活性变化。结果表明两种细胞因子活性均在感染后第４－６ｗｋ开始上升，第６—８ｗｋ达高峰，第１２—１４ｗｋ恢复至感染前水平。ＩＦＮ－γ高峰时间略先于ＩＬ－２。非特异性刺激原诱生组和特异性刺激原诱生组各阶段细胞因子活性动态基本一致，前组活性高于后组。提示ＩＦＮ－γ与ＩＬ－２活性与血吸虫卵肉芽肿的诱导、成熟与维持有密切关系。
