Acute psychotropic effects of bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa in Parkinson's disease.

High-frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Opposite changes in mood, such as mania or depression, have been reported after surgery, but it is not known whether these side effects are specifically related to STN DBS. To learn whether STN DBS also influences the limbic loop, we investigated acute subjective psychotropic effects related to levodopa or bilateral STN DBS. After a median postoperative follow-up of 12 months, 50 PD patients completed the Addiction Research Center Inventory (ARCI), assessing subjective psychotropic effects in four conditions: off-drug/on-stimulation; off-drug/off-stimulation; on-drug/off-stimulation; and on-drug/on-stimulation. Both levodopa and STN DBS improved all the ARCI subscales, indicating subjective feelings of well being, euphoria, increase in motivation, and decrease in fatigue, anxiety, and tension. A suprathreshold dose of levodopa was significantly more effective than STN DBS, using the same electrical parameters as for chronic stimulation, on four of the five ARCI subscales. We concluded that 1) both STN DBS and levodopa have synergistic acute beneficial psychotropic effects in PD, 2) the psychotropic effects of both treatments need to be considered in the long-term management of chronic STN DBS, and 3) the results indicate an involvement of the limbic STN in mood disorders of PD.     

全喉切除改良气管-咽吻合Ⅰ期发声重建术

目的：探讨全喉切除Ⅰ期发声重建术的改进术式。方法：采用低位气管切开，全喉切除，食管前壁黏膜重建声门，气管切口处造瘘．颈段气管上提并缩窄吻合于舌根的方法行全喉切除及Ⅰ期发声重建木35例。结果：33例(94．29％）术后获得了不同程度的发声功能．不能发声者仅2例(5．71％)。全部患者术后均可经口进食，未出现严重的影响生存质量的误咽。结论：与以往的发声重建术相比，本术式具有发声成功率高、发声质量良好、误咽率低等优点，且无须置人人工发声装置．值得推广。     

EFFECTS OF LIFELONG ETHANOL CONSUMPTION ON RAT LOCUS COERULEUS

The effects of lifelong ethanol consumption and ageing on themorphology of locus coeruleus (LC) were studied in alcohol-preferringAA (Alko Alcohol) rats of both sexes. Ethanol (12% v/v) wasthe only available liquid for the ethanol-consuming rats from3 months up to 24 months of age. Young (3-month-old) and old(24-month-old) control groups were included in the measurements.The LC morphometry was performed by an unbiased disector method.In the old control rats, the total neuron number, neuronal densityand the volume of the LC proper did not differ from the youngcontrols. In the ethanol-exposed rats, the total neuron numberof the LC was decreased by 30% and the LC neuronal density by22%, compared to the age-matched controls. No gender differencewas found in the vulnerability of LC neurons to ethanol-induceddegeneration. The results suggest a remarkable sensitivity ofthe LC neurons to the ethanol-induced degeneration in both maleand female rats. The possible mechanisms and functional implicationsof this neuronal loss are discussed.     

Adrafinil-induced orofacial dyskinesia.

We describe the first case of orofacial abnormal movements induced by adrafinil, a vigilance promoting agent of the same pharmacological class as modafinil. The dyskinesias did not spontaneously recover despite adrafinil withdrawal for a 4-month period. They were secondly dramatically improved by tetrabenazine, a presynaptic dopaminergic depleting drug which was introduced after the 4-month adrafinil-free period.     

湿润烧伤膏治疗外伤性末节指(趾)骨外露体会

目的：探讨MEBO治疗骨外露的临床疗效。方法：对2005年10月至2006年2月处置外伤性指（趾）骨外露3例采用MEBO治疗。结果：3例创面全部愈合,时间均为3周。结论：MEBO治疗外伤性末节指（趾）骨外露简便,实用,疗效可靠,不影响美观。     

Brevibacterium sp.DGCDC-82发酵罐中生产胆固醇氧化酶

用Brevibacterium sp.DGCDC-82在7L发酵罐中分批培养.分别对添加剂吐温-80、培养温度、培养基的pH、通风量和搅拌速度在胆固醇氧化酶的生产中的影响进行了研究.结果显示以上条件均对产酶有影响.在不同的发酵阶段改变发酵操作条件,发酵20 h最高酶活可达1203U/L,生产强度可达60 U/(L·h).既有效地提高了胆固醇氧化酶的产量,又防止了发酵过程中的泡沫外溢.     

脐带夹对防止脐部感染和出血的临床与实验研究

目的应用国产脐带夹用于农村山区破伤风高发区，并经离体试验验证其可靠性。方法经湖南、江西、广西等省基层接生员临床应用、并与当地同期或前一年未用夹者进行对照；同时经离体脐带用脐带夹、气门芯或纱线结扎阻断血管后进行金黄色葡萄球菌和破伤风毒素通透试验以及测试承受气压程度试验。结果1年临床使用2296例中，无1例发生破伤风和败血症。可靠性试验结果证明，粗纱线结扎最差，气门芯虽优于前者，但不如脐带夹。结论该脐带夹由于夹持力持久有力，细菌、毒素难以通过、安全可靠，因此能降低新生儿“病从脐入”的发病率和死亡率，有利干优生优育的贯彻．这是一项花费少、收效大的简而易行的适宜技术，值得推广。     

脆性X综合征的遗传学诊断与产前诊断

脆性X综合征( fragile X syndrome,FraX )是一种常见的遗传性智力低下综合征,其发病率仅次于Down综合征,呈X连锁遗传,占X连锁智力低下的40%[1].1992年,Erster SH等报道其发病率男性为1/1250,女性约为1/2000;1997年,De Vries BB等报道其发病率男性为1/4000,女性为1/6000[2-3].发病率下降的原因可能是随着诊断技术的提高,减少误诊的结果.
