EVALUATION OF IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL DIAGNOSIS OF RHABDOMYOSARCOMA

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of regularly used immunohistochemical markers, including Vimentin (Vim), Desmin (Des), Myoglobin (MG), Myosin (MS), Smooth-muscle actin (SMA) and Sarcomeric actin ( Sr-A ) , in the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Methods After resection, 24 RMSs and other childhood tumor specimens were fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin and embeded in paraffin. The immunohistochemical staining was performed by LSAB procedure. Heat-induced epitope retrieval of Des, MS, Sr-A was processed in order to enhence positive rate and positive strength. Results Vim, MG, MS, Des, Sr-A, SMA were arranged in the order of sensitivity from higher to lower. About specificity, Sr-A, Des, SMA, MG, Vim standed in a sequence from higher to lower ( the data of MS is insufficient) ; Des, MG, Sr-A possessedhigher experimental efficiency, followed by SMA, Vim in a succession. Conclusion Vim and MG are of the higher sensitivity but lower specificity. On the reverse, Sr-A and Des hoM the better specificity but lower sensitivity. So the combination of multiple antibody reactions shouM be considered to improve the diagnostic ability in poorly differentiated RMS. According to the result of experimental efficiency, we suggest that the combination of Des, MG and Sr-A can make it possible to diagnose the majority of RMS clearly.

一次阿扑吗啡注射对大鼠视觉辨别学习和工作记忆的影响

目的探讨多巴胺受体激动剂 -阿扑吗啡对大鼠视觉辨别学习和工作记忆的影响。方法利用旋转T迷宫装置 ,通过食物强化 ,分别训练大鼠正常和逆反的视觉辨别学习任务。动物达到规定的标准次数后 ,腹腔注射 2mg/kg体重的阿扑吗啡 ,3 0分钟后观察药物对工作记忆的影响。 结果对于正常学习 ,阿扑吗啡注射组动物的正确次数与生理盐水对照组相比无显著性差异 ,且两组动物继续进行逆反学习训练 ,达到学习标准所需的总次数亦无显著性差异 ;对于逆反学习 ,阿扑吗啡注射组动物的正确次数较对照组显著降低。结论单独一次阿扑吗啡注射可能干扰大鼠逆反学习的工作记忆 ,但不影响正常学习的工作记忆和逆反学习的过程。     

王霞芳治疗小儿泄泻的经验

小儿泄泻的病因病机因其自身稚阴稚阳的生理特点而较成人为多发,泄泻久甚,易耗伤气液,甚至出现伤阴伤阳的重证、变证。故要重视及时正确地治疗,以防产生危候。王霞芳老师治疗小儿泄泻首先注重审证求因,在精确辨证基础上立法选方而施治,并在病变过程中法随症变,灵活化裁,刻刻护卫脾气胃津,斡旋脾胃气机,重视清浊升降枢机作用。尝用葛根、扁豆衣、荷叶等轻灵升清之品,宣发清阳,泄泻自和。对屡治不愈、迁延日久者,王师认为应辨证细致,选药精到,且又及时而适当地参入止涩药物。固肠止涩法之运用,必须具备苔净,腹软,溲通,无表证和里积等条件,方为合宜。     

寡克隆区带及IgG指数在多发性硬化中的临床意义

目的研究寡克隆区带（OCB）和IgG指数在多发性硬化（MS）中的临床意义。方法收集MS患者54例和其他神经系统疾病（OND）患者271例,包括中枢神经系统感染性疾病62例及非感染性疾病209例的脑脊液和血清标本,分别进行OCB检测（聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳）和IgG指数的计算（免疫火箭电泳法）。结果MS组OCB阳性率为35.2%;OND组为8.9%,其中感染组为24.2%,非感染组为4.5%。MS与OND组整体比较OCB阳性率有显著性差异（P〈0.05）,但与感染组相比无显著性差异（P〉0.05）。MS组IgG指数阳性率为83.3%,OND组为78.2%（P〉0.05）。结论OCB对MS有一定的辅助诊断价值,但需除外CNS感染性疾病。IgG指数阳性可作为参考。

阀门植入术治疗儿童青光眼的进展

儿童青光眼作为一种严重的潜在性致盲眼病,因儿童患者的特殊性,治疗困难,效果不佳.近年来,随着阀门植入手术的日益开展,有关青光眼阀门应用于儿童青光眼治疗的相关报道日渐增多.与其他手术方式相比,阀门植入手术对婴幼儿难治性青光眼显示出较好的疗效和安全性,表现在结膜下瘢痕较小,滤过泡壁纤维化少、渗透性更好,从而能够长期有效地控制眼压.它能够很好避免因瘢痕形成所致的滤过失败,并且滤过泡渗漏和感染等严重并发症的发生率也明显降低.但目前还缺乏有关于此的大样本、长期疗效和安全性研究.     

Conditional estimation of sensitivity and specificity from a phase 2 biomarker study allowing early termination for futility

Development of a disease screening biomarker involves several phases. In phase 2 its sensitivity and specificity is compared with established thresholds for minimally acceptable performance. Since we anticipate that most candidate markers will not prove to be useful and availability of specimens and funding is limited, early termination of a study is appropriate, if accumulating data indicate that the marker is inadequate. Yet, for markers that complete phase 2, we seek estimates of sensitivity and specificity to proceed with the design of subsequent phase 3 studies. We suggest early stopping criteria and estimation procedures that adjust for bias caused by the early termination option. An important aspect of our approach is to focus on properties of estimates conditional on reaching full study enrollment. We propose the conditional‐UMVUE and contrast it with other estimates, including naïve estimators, the well‐studied unconditional‐UMVUE and the mean and median Whitehead‐adjusted estimators. The conditional‐UMVUE appears to be a very good choice. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
