食管胃吻合口-胸腔瘘的影像学诊断和介入治疗

目的：探讨食管胃吻合口-胸腔瘘的影像学特征及其介入治疗方法。方法：回顾性分析6例具有完整临床资料的食管胃吻合口-胸腔瘘的口服碘水造影及CT表现；透视下，置入蘑菇状覆膜内支架封堵瘘口。结果：6例口服碘水造影显示对比剂均经吻合口溢入胸腔；6例螺旋CT检查，其中5例显示吻合口与胸腔相通，1例瘘口小而未显示。全部病例顺利置入内支架，既完全封堵了瘘口，又解决了进食问题。结论：根据口服碘水造影和螺旋CT征象可以诊断食管胃吻合口-胸腔瘘，置入蘑菇状覆膜内支架封堵瘘口操作简单、安全、近期疗效明显，是一项值得推广的新技术。

目的:探讨青少年精神分裂症患者的发病和家庭因素的相关性.方法:采用父母养育方式评价量表(EMBU)及家庭环境量表中文版(FES-CV)对60名青少年精神分裂症患者进行测评并与60名健康青少年进行对照及相关分析.结果:青少年精神分裂症患者父母养育方式与正常组对照显示:其父亲惩罚严厉、拒绝否认因子分显著高于对照组,情感温暖、理解因子分显著低于对照组(P＜0.05或P＜0.01);其母亲过分干涉过度保护、偏爱被试因子分显著高于对照组;母亲的情感温暖理解、过度保护、偏爱被试因子分高于父亲(P＜0.05或P＜0.01).家庭环境的亲密度、情感表达、文化性、娱乐性的因子分低于对照组,矛盾性和控制性均高于对照组(P＜0.05或P＜0.01).相关分析显示:父亲过度保护与母亲拒绝否认,及母亲过度保护与父亲拒绝否认因子之间呈负相关(r≥0.8);父亲与母亲EMBU相同因子得分具有相关关系(r≥0.6).结论:不良的家庭环境和父母养育方式对青少年精神分裂症的发病起一定作用,具有相关性.     

In-vitro fertilization and the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Eight patients who developed severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) were identified among 1302 patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) over a 1 year period (prevalence of 0.6%); 63% had ultrasonically diagnosed polycystic ovaries (PCO) and 75% were undergoing their first attempt at IVF. Pretreatment with a superactive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue significantly increased the prevalence of severe OHSS (1.1% versus 0.2%, P less than 0.05) compared with ovarian stimulation with clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG). The mean serum oestradiol concentration on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration was 8200 +/- 2300 pmol/l. A mean of 19.6 +/- 6.8 follicles had been aspirated and 13.1 +/- 7.7 oocytes recovered at transvaginal ultrasound-directed oocyte recovery. All patients had an embryo transfer and luteal support in the form of HCG. The clinical pregnancy rate was 88%, multiple pregnancy rate 71% and implantation rate 63.5 +/- 41.3%. In a group of seven patients who were hospitalized for moderate OHSS during the same period, peak oestradiol levels were significantly lower than in those with severe OHSS (P less than 0.05). Of the group with moderate OHSS, 57% had PCO, the clinical pregnancy rate was 100% and multiple pregnancy rate 43%. Patients with ultrasound-diagnosed PCO have an increased risk of developing OHSS and the dose of HMG administered to them should be minimized. In patients at risk of developing OHSS, progesterone instead of HCG should be used for luteal support. Transfer of a maximum of two embryos or freezing all embryos for transfer in a subsequent cycle may reduce the likelihood of multiple pregnancy.     

Osteoclastogenesis in the nonadherent cell population of human bone marrow is inhibited by rhBMP-2 alone or together with rhVEGF.

During bone development and repair, angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and bone remodeling are closely associated processes that share some common mediators. In the present study nonadherent human bone marrow mononuclear cells under the induction of sRANKL and M-CSF, differentiated into osteoclasts with TRAP-positive staining, VNR expression, and Ca-P resorptive activity. The effects of various combinations of rhBMP-2 (0, 3, 30, and 300 ng/mL) and rhVEGF (0 and 25 ng/mL) on osteoclastogenesis potentials were examined in this experimental system. The percentages of TRAP-positive multiple nucleated cells represent osteoclast differentiation potential, and the percentages of resorptive areas in the Ca-P coated plates resemble osteoclast resorption capability. The presence of rhBMP-2 at 30 and 300 ng/mL showed inhibitory effects on osteoclast differentiation and their resorptive capability in the human osteoclast culture system. rhVEGF (25 ng/mL) enhanced the resorptive function of osteoclast whenever it was used alone or combined with 3 ng/mL rhBMP-2. However, rhVEGF-induced resorptive function was inhibited by 30 ng/mL and 300 ng/mL rhBMP-2 in a dose-dependent manner. Statistical analysis demonstrated that an interactive effect exists between rhBMP-2 and rhVEGF on human osteoclastogenesis. These findings suggested that an interactive regulation may exist between BMPs and VEGF signaling pathways during osteoclastogenesis; exact mechanisms are yet to be elucidated.     

The hepatitis B immunization programme in Singapore

A voluntary immunization programme to prevent perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Singapore was implemented on 1 October 1985 as an integral component of the national childhood immunization programme. Up to April 1988, a total of 68,845 mothers who attended government maternal and child health clinics were screened for the disease. Of these, 2432 (3.5%) were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and 904 (1.3%) for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Virtually all the babies born to carrier mothers completed the full immunization schedule; and in addition, those of HBeAg-positive mothers were given a dose of hepatitis B immunoglobulin at birth. The hepatitis B immunization programme was extended on 1 September 1987 to cover all newborns. About 90% of the 15,943 babies delivered in government institutions from September 1987 to April 1988 were immunized at birth, with the subsequent doses being administered at maternal and child health clinics at 4-6 weeks and 5 months later. More than 85% of the children given the full course of plasma-derived and yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccine from birth continued to have protective antibody to HBV two years after immunization. The programme is being closely monitored to assess the duration of immunity and the need for booster doses, while seronegative adults are also being encouraged to be vaccinated.     

围产儿与儿童胸腺的病理改变

The most outstanding pathological changes of perinatal babies and children, based on the review of the autopsy files in the 1st Affiliated Hospital of West China University of Medical Sciences, are lymphocytic depletion, and reticuloepithelial cell swelling and/or fusiform malformation in the cortex, while in the medulla apoptosis is more prominent. We suppose that these alterations are due to immaturity of cortical thymocytes, and in the diseased condition, they are easily affected by extraordinary factors, especially the influence of corticosterone inducing acute severe necrosis, so the number of lymphocytes are obviously diminished. But, in the medulla, as intact mature lymphocytes exist, physiological phenomenon such as apoptosis is rather prominent in it. While in the medulla, Hassall's corpuscles have various characteristic changes, such as cornification, calcification, fusion, cystic change and disintegration. Besides, we observed a new alteration in the thymus defined as vacuolization. All the above pathological changes reached the peak in the 28- day group; there after, they might become either worse or better according to the condition of the disease and growth of the body. However, these are still problems to be further studied separately.
