遏制轻型急性胰腺炎向重症转化的非手术 治疗策略

目的 ：探讨遏制急性胰腺炎向重症转化的非手术治疗策略。方法 ：将4年间收治的286例轻型急性胰腺炎分为对照组和治疗观察组。对照组采取常规非手术治疗措施;观察组加用改善胰腺微循环，防治细胞钙超载和抑制胰酶的治疗方法。结果 ：对照组144轻型有20例转化为重症胰腺炎，14例发生全身性并发症;观察组142例轻型有8例转化为重症，2例出现全身性并发症。观察组重症患者血C-反应蛋白和Balthazar CT严重度指数在治疗后各时点较对照组明显降低。结论 ：在常规治疗的基础上加用改善胰腺微循环，防治细胞钙超载和抑制胰酶的治疗措施可能有助于阻止轻型急性胰腺炎向重症化发展。     

血管内皮生长因子与急性冠脉综合征

随着急性冠脉综合征(acute coronary syndrome,ACS)发病率的增加,ACS的治疗越来越显得重要.临床常用的治疗方法包括饮食行为调整、药物治疗、经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术和冠状动脉旁路移植术,尤其内科介入治疗手段取得了突破性进展.但有些患者因血管病变过重、病变范围长且弥漫等原因不适宜介入治疗及外科搭桥手术,故寻求新的治疗手段已成为必然.当冠状动脉逐渐闭塞时,行冠状动脉造影可见缺血区侧支循环形成,使静息状态或负荷状态下的心肌缺血减轻,因此通过给予血管生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)启动或强化侧支血管形成已成为新的治疗ACS的策略.本文通过复习文献来阐述ACS时VEGF的表达及其在ACS治疗中的前景,现综述如下.     

Effect of the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptives on aromatase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in adenomyosis.

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether aromatase expression in the eutopic endometrium and adenomyotic foci is affected by previous use of oral contraceptives containing gestodene, and to determine whether changes in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression occur in adenomyosis during the menstrual cycle. PATIENT AND METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study carried out in paraffin-embedded endometrial tissue obtained from patients with a histological diagnosis of adenomyosis obtained during the proliferative (n = 25) and luteal (n = 10) phases of the menstrual cycle and following the use of continuous oral contraception with gestodene/ethinyl estradiol (n = 7). COX-2 and aromatase expression were measured in both eutopic endometrium and adenomyotic foci using immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS: Aromatase expression was detected in 80% of the endometrial slices by immunohistochemistry. In positive cases, aromatase was mainly detected in the stromal cells of the eutopic endometrium, whereas in the adenomyotic foci this expression was negative in the majority of the cases. Oral contraceptives containing gestodene, on the other hand, were effective in suppressing aromatase expression in both eutopic and ectopic endometrium. COX-2 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in the glandular epithelium of both eutopic endometrium and adenomyotic foci and there were no significant changes in its intensity throughout the menstrual cycle. CONCLUSION: Aromatase expression in the eutopic endometrium and adenomyotic foci is suppressed by oral contraceptives containing gestodene. Increased aromatase activity may be responsible for the persistent COX-2 expression during the luteal phase.     

太阳病"汗法"初探

仲景所著《伤寒论》冠古绝今,书中398条原文,太阳病篇所占178条,足以突出太阳病篇在六经辨证中的重要性.众所周知,太阳病的基本病机是感受风寒,营卫失调;其基本治则为辛温解表;“汗法”在治疗中占有极其重要的地位.用之正确则药到病除,用之不当则变证从生.仲景在太阳病篇中对“汗法”有很详细的描述,初探如下.     

Left pulmonary artery evaluation through transesophageal echocardiography.

INTRODUCTION: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become increasingly useful in the study of patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the usefulness of TEE in the study of the distal part of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) as well as the influence of this procedure on total echocardiographic exam duration. METHODOLOGY: A prospective study in two groups of consecutive patients referred for TEE with a one- year interval between evaluation of Group A: 33 patients, 17 male, mean age 54 +/- 24 years, and Group B: 42 patients, 20 male, mean age 48 +/- 27 years (p = NS). The procedure was considered long when it took more than 3 min to evaluate the distal part of the LPA. RESULTS: In group A we were able to visualize the distal part of the LPA in 24 patients (73%) without significant prolongation of total exam duration in 16 patients (48% of group A). In one of the patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism thrombi were only observed in the distal part of the LPA. In group B we were able to visualize the distal part of the LPA in 36 patients (86%) without significant prolongation of total exam duration in 26 patients (61% of group B). CONCLUSIONS: 1. Visualization of the distal part of the LPA was possible in more patients, and with TEE time prolongation in less patients, in group B. These differences can be accounted for by the training of the operator in this technique. 2. The importance of visualization of this part of the LPA in guiding treatment in the subset of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism confirms the usefulness of this specific procedure.

双波长紫外分光光度法测定贝母中腺苷和胸苷的含量

将4种贝母的甲醇提取物经薄层色谱法粗分离后,直接用双波长紫外分光光度法测定其含量。结果表明,该方法线性关系好,腺苷和胸苷标准曲线的相关系数均为0.9999,同时也发现平贝、炉贝和伊贝中腺苷都占核苷总量60%以上,而浙贝中仅占约40%,提示贝母生药的抗凝血活性可能与贝母中核苷类化合物的种类和含量的差别有关。     

非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者血清唾液酸的改变

测定20例NIDDM伴有心脑血管病变的患者、20例单纯NIDDM患者的血清唾液酸（SA）水平，并与20例正常人进行比较。结果发现所有NIDDM患者的血清SA水平均显著增高（P＜0．01），其中伴有心脑血管疾病患者的血清SA水平显著高于单纯NIDDM患者（P＜0．05），同时血清SA水平与血清胰岛素及C肽水平、收好压之间存在相关。提示血清SA水平与NIDDM患者的心脑血管疾病关系密切，可能是心脑血管并发症发生的一个危险因素。
