三种不同品系小鼠在肺肿瘤短期诱发试验中的敏感性比较

用不同剂量尿烷一次腹腔注射，对ＫＭ、ＢＡＬＢ／ｃ和Ａ／Ｊ系小鼠进行肺肿瘤短期诱导试验，以比较其敏感性，为环境化学物致癌性鉴定的实验条件提供依据。结果显示：以肺肿瘤发生率和平均发瘤数两项指数来衡量发瘤危险，Ａ／Ｊ系均在最低染毒剂量（２５ｍｇ／ｋｇ）即出现发瘤危险明显增高；ＫＭ系以发生率衡量时，１００ｍｇ／ｋｇ为发瘤危险增高的最低剂量，而以平均发瘤数衡量时，最低剂量为２００ｍｇ／ｋｇ；ＢＡＬＢ／ｃ系前     

眼内异物合并外伤性白内障的联合手术治疗：附88例分析

眼内异物合并外伤性白内障是眼外伤常见的致盲原因之一,各地报告的致盲率为20%～48.9%。本文对88例眼内异物合并外伤性白内障患者采用联合手术治疗,收到较好疗效,术前视力0.05以下占85.2%,术后矫正视力0.05以下占27.3%,矫正视力0.06～1.5占73.7%,其中矫正视力0.6～1.5者占22.8%。根据异物的性质、在眼内部位和晶体损伤情况选择不同的手术方式一次联合手术摘出异物和白内障,术后采用中西药配合治疗。联合手术可提高疗效,减少术后并发症.减少手术次数,减轻病人的痛苦,缩短病程,减少医疗费用.眼科学报1993;9:216—218.     

表浅性膀胱肿瘤的预后

从１９８０年１月至１９９１年１２月，对１２１例表浅性膀胱肿瘤进行回顾性研究，首次手术采用经尿道肿瘤电灼术，电切术或膀胱部分切除术，术后配合膀胱内灌药辅助治疗。其中６０例术后复发（４９．６％），术后１、２、３和５年的无瘤率分别为８６．８％、７６．８％、７３．５％和６８．６％。资料表明，初诊时呈多发者、直径大于１ｃｍ和细胞恶性分级高的肿瘤术后无瘤率分别低于单发者、直径小于１ｃｍ和细胞恶性分级低的肿瘤，有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０５）。术后６个月内肿瘤复发者经治疗后肿瘤再次复发的机会高。术后膀胱内灌药可以预防肿瘤复发，以灌注丝裂霉素和卡介苗效果好。     

急性病毒性肝炎住院患者血清学分型与流行病学分布研究

本文收集了西安市住院急性病毒性肝炎患者血清标本２９３份，用ＥＬＩＳＡ进行分型检测，并作流行病学调查。结果发现：甲肝占６５．１９％，乙肝占１０．９２％，丙肝占４．７８％，丁肝占３．７５％，戊肝占４．４４％，诊断不明者占１０．９２％。结果表明，在西安市住院的急性病毒性肝炎中，甲肝为主要类型；与以往结果比较，甲肝患者的发病年龄明显后移；除乙肝外，各型肝炎中男性均多于女性，尤以丁肝和戊肝为著；甲肝有明显的     

Quantitative evaluation of recall and precision of CAT Crawler,a search engine specialized on retrieval of Critically Appraised Topics

Background

Critically Appraised Topics (CATs) are a useful tool that helps physicians to make clinical decisions as the healthcare moves towards the practice of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). The fast growing World Wide Web has provided a place for physicians to share their appraised topics online, but an increasing amount of time is needed to find a particular topic within such a rich repository.

Methods

A web-based application, namely the CAT Crawler, was developed by Singapore's Bioinformatics Institute to allow physicians to adequately access available appraised topics on the Internet. A meta-search engine, as the core component of the application, finds relevant topics following keyword input. The primary objective of the work presented here is to evaluate the quantity and quality of search results obtained from the meta-search engine of the CAT Crawler by comparing them with those obtained from two individual CAT search engines. From the CAT libraries at these two sites, all possible keywords were extracted using a keyword extractor. Of those common to both libraries, ten were randomly chosen for evaluation. All ten were submitted to the two search engines individually, and through the meta-search engine of the CAT Crawler. Search results were evaluated for relevance both by medical amateurs and professionals, and the respective recall and precision were calculated.

Results

While achieving an identical recall, the meta-search engine showed a precision of 77.26% (±14.45) compared to the individual search engines' 52.65% (±12.0) (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The results demonstrate the validity of the CAT Crawler meta-search engine approach. The improved precision due to inherent filters underlines the practical usefulness of this tool for clinicians.

     

Butyrate increases production of human chimeric IgG in CHO-K1 cells whilst maintaining function and glycoform profile

The influence of sodium butyrate on the production and glycosylation of recombinant mouse/human chimeric antibody by transfected CHO-K1 cells was investigated. We selected cells expressing 'wild-type' antibody with a human IgG3 heavy chain and a mutant of this molecule in which Phe 243 is replaced by Ala. These proteins have previously been shown to exhibit very different glycoform profiles with the mutant IgG being comprised of glycoforms having a high galactose and sialic acid content. Cell culture with 0-5 mM butyrate was shown to effect a 2-4-fold increase in antibody production whilst the induction of apoptosis was observed in a dose-dependent manner. The optimal butyrate concentration was observed to be 2 mM. The glycoform profile of each antibody produced in the presence of butyrate was analyzed by HPAEC-PAD and shown to be unchanged, relative to that produced in the absence of butyrate. Biological activity was evaluated by the ability of the antibodies to trigger superoxide generation, through Fc gamma RI, and shown to be independent of production in the presence or absence of butyrate. A similar increase in production was observed for a high antibody-producing cell line when expanded in a hollow fibre bioreactor under low-serum conditions (1%). These results demonstrated that butyrate is of value for increasing the productivity of CHO-K1 for recombinant IgG and does not compromise either glycosylation or biological activity.     

涎腺癌肉瘤临床及病理分析

目的：探讨涎腺癌肉瘤的临床病理学特点及其鉴别诊断。方法：对3例涎腺癌肉瘤患者的临床资料进行回顾性研究并复习相关文献，对全部病例的组织学标本重新进行镜下观察。结果：涎腺癌肉瘤临床表现常为迅速增大的颜面部肿物并伴疼豢。光匀下组织学观察常可见肉瘤和癌两种成分并存，癌多为鳞状细胞癌和腺癌，肉瘤以骨或软骨肉瘤为主。结论：涎腺癌肉瘤的临床特点与涎腺其他恶性肿瘤较难区别，但涎腺癌肉瘤的恶性程度极高。
