根据桂枝汤的效应消除半衰期和表观消除半衰期制订给药方案的探讨

为探讨药效法估测的效应消除半衰期和效量法估测的表观半衰期对合理制订给药方案的意义和作用,以桂枝汤解热和抗炎的药物动力学实验中所得的相应参数值设计了给药方案,观察了它们在提高药效上的作用。结果表明在给药总剂量相等、首次给药同时开始的情况下,以半衰期设计的给药方案组的药效均明显高于习惯的一次给药组;而以效应消除半衰期设计给药方案组药效增强率又高于以表观半衰期设计的方案组。提示效应消除半衰期比表观半衰期似更有实践意义。     

中风后癫痫的临床研究

本文报告３６例中风后癫痫发作的临床和ＣＴ资料。通过回顾性病历复习和随访发现，中风后癫痫的发生率占同期住院中风患者的５．２６％，以蛛网膜下腔出血和脑栓塞发生癫痫比率最高，分别为１５％和１２．５％。癫痫发作与ＣＴ所见病灶分布密切相关，皮质病灶较皮质下病灶更易发生病病。癫痫发作可发生于中风后任何时期，但早期癫痫以出血性中风多见，而迟发性癫痫则更多见于脑梗塞患者。     

Absence of relaxation to lactate in human placental vessels of pregnancies with severe preeclampsia

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine whether the observed relaxation to lactate and other agents in placental vessels of normal pregnancies is altered in severe preeclampsia.STUDY DESIGN: Isolated placental arteries and veins from women with severe preeclampsia and uncomplicated term pregnancies were precontracted with prostaglandin F_2α under 5% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide with the balance nitrogen (Po₂ 35 to 38 torr) and then exposed to lactate (1 to 10 mmol/L, pH 7.4, n = 8 to 15), arachidonic acid (0.01 to 10 μmol/L, n = 6 to 13), nitroglycerin (1 nmol to 1 μmol/L, n = 4 to 12), or forskolin (0.01 to 10 μmol/L, n = 6 to 9). The response to lactate was also examined in placental vessels from appropriate-for-gestational-age preterm deliveries (n = 8) for comparison with a similar group with severe preeclampsia (n = 8). The t test and analysis of variance statistics were used.RESULTS: Relaxation to lactate was markedly inhibited in both placental arteries and veins of women with severe preeclampsia compared with vessels from uncomplicated term or preterm pregnancies. Responses to the other relaxing agents were not altered in the severely preeclampsia vessels.CONCLUSIONS: In severe preeclampsia absence of lactate-induced dilatation of placental vessels may contribute to the fetal complications associated with impaired blood flow and vasospasm.     

Influence of Size, Dosage, and Surface Structure on Clearance and Tissue Distribution of Intravenous Microspheres

Intravenously injected polystyrene microspheres with functional amino groups (AP-MSs, 0.2,1.0, and 4.0 urn in diameter) were cleared from the blood very rapidly. The calculated half-lives for 0.2-, 1.0-, and 4.0-μm AP-MSs were about 55,60, and 50s; no significant differences were found with 10⁶,10⁷, and 10⁸ microspheres/rat. Loading experiments showed that the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and heart had a very high capacity to take up AP-MSs. The AP-MSs were distributed mainly to the liver, lung, and spleen, whereas other organs contained less than 1 % of injected AP-MSs. In terms of numbers of AP-MSs per gram of tissue, the highest contents were found in spleen, liver, and lung for 0.2-, 1.0-, and 4.0-um AP-MSs, respectively. There was indication of redistribution of particles from one organ to another during the first 6 h after injection. Chondroitin sulfate A (Chon) and hyaluronic acid (Hya) adsorbed or covalently linked to AP-MSs increased uptake in the liver, with Chon AP-MSs (adsorbed or linked) showing the best effect: about 25% increase compared with unadsorbed 1-μm AP-MSs. Experiments with separated cells in vitro demonstrated that 1 um AP-MSs, intravenously injected, associated only with Kupffer cells. When the microspheres were adsorbed with Chon, there was also association with liver endothelial cells. This finding indicates that conjugation of microspheres with ligands for endothelial receptors may be a useful method for directing microspheres to specific organs, even if the receptors are not by themselves phagocytic     

Lung cancer and prior tuberculosis infection in Shanghai

In a population-based case-control study of lung cancer in Shanghai involving interviews during 1984-86 with 1,405 cancer patients and 1,495 controls, a significant 50% elevation in the risk of lung cancer, adjusted for cigarette smoking, was observed among persons who had a history of tuberculosis. Among those diagnosed with tuberculosis within the past 20 years, the risk exceeded 2.5-fold. In males the lung cancers tended to occur on the same side as the previous tuberculosis infection. For both sexes, the effect of recent tuberculosis was most apparent for adenocarcinoma and peripheral tumours. No relationship was found between lung cancer risk and the type of tuberculosis therapy, including use of isoniazid. The findings suggest that tuberculosis may predispose to lung cancer, with the association most apparent among recent survivors of the infection.

缺血再灌流肾组织内皮素—1动态变化的实验研究

在大鼠肾缺血６０分钟再灌注的模型上观察不同时相肾静脉血、肾皮质、外髓和内髓的内皮素１（ＥＴ１）浓度变化，肾组织ＥＴ１光镜和电镜免疫组织化学变化。结果发现：缺血再灌流肾组织ＥＴ１基因表达及分泌明显增强，主要分布在血管内皮细胞及平滑肌细胞、系膜细胞、肾小管上皮细胞。其分布特点与细胞类型和活性有关。本实验结果提示了缺血再灌注肾内ＥＴ１的变化规律。
