Identification of Leishmania donovani isolates from different kala-azar foci in China by kDNA hybridization.

kDNA sequence homology of Leishmania donovani isolates from three types of kala-azar foci in China were analyzed by using dot and Southern hybridization with biotin- and 32P-labelled probes. The results revealed kDNA sequence heterogeneity among Leishmania donovani isolates from the three kala-azar foci: sequence homology between isolates of hill and desert foci was higher than that between hill and plain foci isolates. The kDNA hybridization technique was also found to be specific and sensitive for direct identification of Leishmania in animal tissues. In a preliminary survey, kDNA hybridization of cutaneous tissue blots of 71 dogs from endemic regions showed a positive rate of 40.8%, and the rate of double positive cases (touch blot hybridization and bone marrow smear) reached 91.3%. The direct identification of Leishmania in tissues by kDNA hybridization seems to be a useful and convenient method for epidemiological study and clinical diagnosis, especially for species/strain characterization.     

选择性髂内动脉结扎与栓塞对盆腔血供的影响

目的：旨在探讨选择性髂内动脉结扎与栓塞两种方法对盆腔血供的影响。方法：将两组犬在膀胱上动脉分支以下之髂内动脉分别行结扎与栓塞，对比观察两组膀胱创面出血、盆腔动脉造影及盆腔脏器组织学变化，以确定其盆腔脏器的血供情况。结果：①结扎组膀胱创面出血明显大于栓塞组；②结扎组髂内动脉侧支循环建立时间明显早于且数目多于栓塞组；③两组盆腔脏器均未见缺血坏死。结论：栓塞组阻断髂内动脉侧支循环的数目多于结扎组，故对盆腔血供的影响大于结扎组。避免髂内动脉阻断范围过广可减少盆腔脏器缺血坏死的机会。     

Influence of anesthesia on the threshold of pacing-induced ischemia.

Increased myocardial oxygen demand, induced by increased heart rate, may cause myocardial ischemia in the presence of significant coronary artery disease. Alterations in anesthetic depth or technique might put at risk or protect myocardium with compromised blood flow. In 20 dogs with critical left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) stenosis, atrial pacing rates from 100 to 160 beats/min were achieved, with end-tidal halothane 0.7% (LowH) and 1.1% (HighH), end-tidal isoflurane 1.1% (LowI) and 1.5% (HighI), as well as with continuous fentanyl plus midazolam (FM) infusion anesthesia. Despite significantly different mean arterial and coronary perfusion pressures, rate-pressure product, and left ventricular dP/dtmax, the pacing rate at which systolic shortening decreased below the lower limit of the physiologic response, indicating regional dysfunction, was the same in all investigated anesthesia conditions (LowH: 127 +/- 4 beats/min; HighH: 128 +/- 5 beats/min; LowI: 125 +/- 4 beats/min; HighI: 122 +/- 5 beats/min; FM: 124 +/- 4 beats/min [mean +/- SEM], P greater than 0.05). None of the investigated anesthesia conditions either increased ischemia tolerance or showed a detrimental effect on myocardium with compromised coronary blood flow.     

Acupuncture Treatment of Frequent Urination

Patient Liu （a male office worker of a company in Beijing）, aged 49, paid his first visit on March 10, 2003, with the chief complaint of frequent urination at night for over one year. One year ago, he started to have frequent urination 4-5 times every night, which disturbed his sleep and made him fatigue during the day. Though he tried to drink less water, the above symptoms couldn＇t be alleviated. The condition was accompanied by such symptoms as listlessness, general lassitude,

髌骨关节面的应用解剖学研究

本文利用150例髌骨(干燥髌骨100例,福尔马林固定膝关节内的髌骨50例)观测了髌骨关节面和关节软骨的形态及其与股骨内外侧髁关节面在屈膝0～135度范围的对应关系。结果发现中间纵嵴向后突起并由下向上逐渐变凸占100％;内侧纵嵴明显突起者占62％,此时其髌骨内侧部关节面与股骨关节面之间的间隙较大;在膝关节屈曲过程申两关节面接触的顺序为髌骨关节面自下而上、股骨内外侧关节面从前向后相对滑动,伸膝时则相反;髌骨关节面的表面积为1019±20(650～1540)mm~2。并讨论了髌骨关节面的解剖学特点及其临床意义。     

In vivo multiple-mouse imaging at 1.5 T.

A multiple-mouse solenoidal MR coil was developed for in vivo imaging of up to 13 mice simultaneously to screen for tumors on a 1.5 T clinical scanner. For the coil to be effective as a screening tool, it should permit acquisition of MRIs in which orthotopic tumors with diameters >2 mm are detectable in a reasonable period of time (<1 hr magnet time) and their sizes accurately measured. Using a spin echo sequence, we demonstrated that this coil provides sufficient sensitivity for moderately high resolution images (156-176 microm in plane-resolution, 1.5 mm slice thickness). This spatial resolution permitted detection of primary brain tumors in transgenic/knockout mice and orthotopic xenografts. Brain tumor size as measured by MRI was correlated with size measured by histopathology (P < 0.001). Metastatic tumors in the mouse lung were also successfully imaged in a screening setting. The multiple mouse coil is simple in construction and may be implemented without any significant modification to the hardware or software on a clinical scanner.
