Lymphoid Neogenesis in Murine Cardiac Allografts Undergoing Chronic Rejection

Lymphoid neogenesis is the process by which ectopic lymphoid accumulations that resemble lymph nodes arise in nonlymphoid tissues. Such lymphoid accumulations, known as tertiary lymphoid organs (TLO), are observed in chronic autoimmunity and they propagate immune pathology by setting up local antigen presenting sites. Whether lymphoid neogenesis occurs in transplanted organs and contributes to rejection is not well understood. To begin to address this question, we retrospectively analyzed 319 murine cardiac allografts for microscopic evidence of lymph-node-like structures. We found 78 allografts that had either classical TLO, characterized by discrete T- and B-cell zones and high endothelial venules (HEV) expressing peripheral node addressin (PNAd) (n = 34), or PNAd(+) HEV without organized lymphoid accumulations (n = 44). These changes were present in both short- and long-lived allografts and were invariably associated with rejection. Importantly, they occurred in 78% of allografts undergoing chronic rejection (n = 85) but in only 7% of allografts undergoing primarily acute rejection (n = 184). These findings indicate that, like autoimmunity, alloimmunity is associated with lymphoid neogenesis in the target organ and suggest a role for local T-cell activation in chronic allograft rejection.     

面神经评分标准

Sunnybrook（多伦多）面神经评定系统是近年来发展起来的一种新的面神经功能主观评定系统[1,2],得到了很多学的认可,在2005年9月在荷兰召开的国际面神经大会上,有近1/4的论用到了这一评分标准;而国内学们很少使用此标准,所以有必要向国内的同道作一介绍.     

西药对中医脉象的影响

笔者毕业后十余年中,临床上遇到心脑血管病人大部分正在应用西药治疗,中医讲究辨证论治,西药是否影响中医的辨证,临床上脉象是否随着西药运用而改变呢?中医脉象学是中医诊病、治病重要手段,望闻问切中“切诊”是主要组成部分。脉象变化是辨证论治重要依据,求证离不开脉象,组成脉象的主要因素及原因有:①脉位:脉动显现部位的浅深,脉位表浅为浮脉,深沉为沉弦;②至数:脉搏的频率,以一个呼吸周期为单位,一息脉来四~五至为平脉,一息六至为数脉,一息三至为迟脉;③脉长:脉动应指的轴向范围长短,越超三部脉象称为长脉,应指不及三部,但见关部或寸部者…

腰椎节段形态对峡部、小关节应力及小关节接触力影响的有限元分析

目的:探讨腰椎形态结构变化对峡部裂性滑脱及小关节退变的作用和意义。方法:采用改良的“非种子区域分割方法”及非平行“最佳切割平面”等一系列新型计算机辅助设计(CAD)方法精确建立包括椎间盘高度、腰椎小关节角、椎间盘前凸角改变的L4~L5活动节段有限元模型;在2700N轴向压缩载荷条件下,分别对各有限元模型的峡部、小关节应力、小关节接触力以及椎间盘负载进行测试。结果:压缩载荷下,腰椎活动节段峡部、小关节等效应力及小关节接触力随椎间盘高度的减小而减小,随小关节角的增大而增加,随椎间盘前凸角的增加而减小。结论:椎间盘高度、腰椎小关节角、椎间盘前凸角等形态结构变化对腰椎节段有限元模型的峡部、小关节应力及小关节接触力有明显的影响。提示腰椎峡部应力性骨折及小关节退变的发生与椎间盘高度、腰椎小关节角、椎间盘前凸角等解剖形态因素有关。     

Laparoscopic Local Resection Based on Sentinel Node Evaluation for Early Gastric Cancer: A Preliminary Report

We previously reported that lymphatic mapping using isosulfan blue can be used to identify sentinel nodes (SNs). This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of using the SN technique in treating early gastric cancer and to explore its usefulness for minimal invasive surgery. Twenty-three patients with early gastric cancer who underwent SN biopsy were retrospectively evaluated. Based on SN evaluation, individualized surgery was performed in five patients with T1N0M0 gastric cancer. When pathological examination of frozen sections revealed metastasis in SNs, we performed a standard D2 gastrectomy. Laparoscopic local resection was applied when the SN biopsy was negative. Our results showed that the success rate with SN biopsy in early gastric cancer was 100%, as were the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. All five patients with early gastric cancer had SNs negative for metastases both by frozen section and by postoperative pathology. Thus, all these patients underwent laparoscopic local resection without extended lymphadenectomy. We conclude that SN biopsy is a useful tool to individualize the operative procedure, and laparoscopic local resection can be safely performed using SN guidance in selected patients with early gastric cancer.     

端粒酶逆转录酶、环氧化酶-2在乳腺癌中的表达及其意义

目的 探讨端粒酶逆转录酶(hTERT)和环氧化酶(cox)-2在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的表达及其临床意义.方法 使用免疫组织化学法分别检测45例乳腺浸润性导管癌和22例乳腺良性病变标本的hTERT和COX-2蛋白表达情况.结果 hTERT在乳腺浸润性导管癌中阳性表达率fig71.11%,明显高于乳腺良性病变9.09%,两者比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).hTERT阳性表达与乳腺浸润性导管癌患者的年龄、肿瘤大小、腋窝淋巴结转移情况及雌、孕激素表达水平无相关性(P>0.05),与Her-2表达存在显著相关性(P<0.05).COX-2在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的阳性表达率为82.22%,明显高于乳腺良性病变50.00%,两者比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).COX-2阳性表达与乳腺浸润性导管癌患者腋窝淋巴结转移情况、Her-2、ER阳性表达有关(P<0.05).在乳腺浸润性导管癌中hTERT阳性表达与COX-2阳性表达呈正相关(r=0.557,P<0.01).结论 hTERT与COX-2在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的表达显著高于在乳腺良性病变中的表达,hTERT与COX-2在乳腺癌的发生、发展中起重要作用.hTERT表达与COX-2表达存在显著相关性,COX-2的过度表达可能是端粒酶激活和调节的机制之一.     

自制32P敷贴器治疗瘢痕疙瘩

目的：观察自制32P敷贴器局部敷贴治疗不同类型瘢痕疙瘩的临床疗效。 方法：105例瘢痕疙瘩患者中，39例病变厚度≤ 0.3 cm的行单纯敷贴治疗，病变厚度> 0.3 cm的66例随机分为2组，单纯敷贴组36例，手术+敷贴组30例。单纯敷贴根据病变表面积大小及形状剪取敷贴片，根据剂量率和衰变校正计算每天敷贴时间，直接贴于病变表面，每天4.0~5.0 Gy/(部位•次)，连续4 d为一疗程，每疗程间隔4周，总治疗4~6个疗程。幼儿单次剂量控制在每天4 Gy/(部位•次)以下。手术+敷贴组患者手术切除瘢痕疙瘩，待手术伤口无渗出后根据伤口形状剪取敷贴片对准伤口敷贴，剂量及疗程同单纯敷贴组。 结果：单纯敷贴治疗对病变厚度≤0.3 cm的39例瘢痕疙瘩治愈32例(82%)，总有效率98%；对病变厚度> 0.3 cm的瘢痕疙瘩单纯敷贴和手术+敷贴两组治疗总有效率分别为56%和93% ，两组差异有显著性意义(P < 0.01)，其中病程< 9个月的患者治疗有效率分别为25%和75%，病程较长患者治疗有效率分别为13%和77%。治疗过程中有26例在敷帖过程中出现局部皮肤烧灼和刺痛感，均以炉甘石洗剂局部外用处理后缓解；5例出现Ⅰ度放射性皮炎，2例出现Ⅱ度放射性皮炎，以百多邦软膏局部外用后缓解，无出现Ⅲ度以上放射性皮炎病例。治愈患者局部皮肤均有不同程度的色素沉着或皮肤颜色改变。 结论：32P敷贴治疗瘢痕疙瘩治疗安全有效，对病程较短或病变厚度小于0.3 cm的患者可单纯敷贴治疗，病程较长或病变厚度大于0.3 cm患者建议先手术后再敷贴治疗。
