Subclinical hepatic encephalopathy: relationship between neuropsychological deficits and standard laboratory tests assessing hepatic status.

A multivariate analysis of the relationship between biochemical measures of hepatic function and neuropsychological assessments of specific cognitive domains was performed on data obtained from 74 patients with chronic liver disease and subclinical hepatic encephalopathy. Biochemical tests of hepatic protein synthesis correlated significantly with measures of impaired language efficiency, perceptual speed, and psychomotor efficiency. Biochemical indices of impaired processing of nitrogenous compounds correlated with visuopractic deficits. Hepatic blood flow indices correlated with language inefficiency. Interestingly, biochemical measures of hepatic injury did not demonstrate a significant association with any neuropsychological parameter assessed. These results suggest that subclinical hepatic encephalopathy is the consequence of a multifactorial hepatic dysfunction, and that acute hepatic injury, as assessed by elevation of aminotransferases, does not appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of subclinical hepatic encephalopathy.

低强度超短波对小鼠体质及智力的影响

本实验探讨了低强度超短波对小鼠连续三代辐射,对学习、记忆、拉力、运动耐力和周围血象的影响。用81MHz,10～12V/m 的超短波进行辐射,每天辐射2小时,每周6天。结果表明:经过超短波辐射的各代小鼠与对照组相比,学习能力、记忆能力、拉力及运动耐力有明显的降低,且运动耐力有进行性降低的趋势,而经过辐射的三代小鼠红细胞、血红蛋白含量及白细胞数均明显增高,每个红细胞的血红蛋白含量则低于对照组。

重组2型腺相关病毒-转化生长因子β3对实验性肝纤维化大鼠肝脏组织病理学和Ⅰ型胶原表达的影响

Objective To investgate the effects of TGF β 3 on rat hepatic fibrosis. Methods The TGF β 3 cDNA was cloned into rAAV2 vector. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, negative control group and TGF β 3 group. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by hypodermic injection of 40% CCI4. Recombinant AAV2-TGF β 3 viral particles were injected via the vena caudalis one week before CCh treatment. Rats were executed 8 weeks after CCI4 treatment, global histological change was observed after HE staining, the distribution of the collagen fibers was observed after masson staining, his-tochemistry was done to observe the expression of collagen Ⅰ; The positive area rate of the collagen fibers and the average optical rate of collagen Ⅰ were quantified. Results HE staining indicated that collagen fibers were reduced in the TGF β 3 group. Masson staining shown that the collagen fibers were distributed around the blood vessel, in the portal area and disse space. Compared to the model group (13.2%±2.2%) and negative control group (12.3%±1.5%), the collagen fibers in liver tissues of TGF β3 group (7.7% ± 1.5%) were significantly decreased (q = 9.456, P < 0.01; q = 8.217, P < 0.01). Histochemistry indicated that the collagen fibers of liver tissues of TGF 15 3 group (0.185±0.033) were significantly higher than those in the model group (0.252±0.042) and the negative control group (0.230±0.029), (q = 6.228, P < 0.01; q = 4.346, P < 0.01). Conclusion TGF β 3 alleviates the damage to hepatic cell and the level offibrosis in CCI4 treated rats and inhibits the expression of collagen Ⅰ.     

肺螨病的病理观察

本文报道螨类接种豚鼠气管引起的肺部病变,并对5种常见螨类的致病性进行比较。发现螨类接种后6天豚鼠肺部已形成典型的结节性病灶。结节圆锥形淡黄色,直径1～5mm之间。镜下表现为细支气管炎和细支气管周围炎,肺实质内有明显的异物肉芽肿形成,炎症在螨类接种豚鼠20天时,肺部嗜酸粒细胞浸润不明显,但30或40天时则出现明显的嗜酸细胞浸润,细支气管周围小动脉受到损害,部分小动脉内可见到螨体残骸。5种常见螨炎接种于5组豚鼠可引起大致相同的病变。从而证明豚鼠可作为动物模型以供肺螨病的研究,同时也证明5种常见贮藏螨具有相同的致病性。
