Anatomic and spiral computed tomographic study of the genial tubercles for genioglossus advancement.

OBJECTIVE: To measure and compare Chinese mandibular genial tubercles measured anatomically and with computed tomography (CT). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Spiral CT scans were taken of 40 adult human skulls; the superior genial spines were measured using anatomic and CT methods. RESULTS: The height and width of the superior genial spines, mandible thickness, and distance from the menton to the inferior and superior margins of the superior genial spines were 5.82 +/- 0.71, 6.98 +/- 1.35, 11.95 +/- 1.59, 11.08 +/- 2.05, and 16.91 +/- 2.30 mm from anatomic measurements and 6.17 +/- 0.71, 7.01 +/- 1.13, 12.19 +/- 1.64, 10.41 +/- 1.55, and 15.73 +/- 2.12 mm using spiral CT, respectively. The anatomic and CT measurements were correlated. CONCLUSION: Spiral CT of the genial tubercles can help locate the osteotomy in genioglossus advancement. SIGNIFICANCE: This study acquired reference data on Chinese genial tubercles demonstrating that CT measurements of the genial tubercles reflect their anatomy, which should allow accurately locate the osteotomy.     

Altered neuropeptide Y Y1 responses in mesenteric arteries in rats with congestive heart failure

The aim of the present study was to elucidate if the potentiating effect of neuropeptide Y on various vasoactive agents in vitro is (1) altered in mesenteric arteries from rats with congestive heart failure and (2) mediated by the neuropeptide Y Y₁ receptor. The direct vascular effects of neuropeptide Y and its modulating effects on the contractions induced by endothelin-1-, noradrenaline-, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-, U46619-(9, 11-dideoxy-11, 9-epoxymethano-prostaglandin F₂) and ATP, and acetylcholine-induced dilatations were studied in the presence and absence of the neuropeptide Y Y₁ antagonist, BIBP3226 (BIBP3226{(R)-N2-(diphenylacetyl)-N-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]- -arginine-amide}). Neuropeptide Y, per se, had no vasoactive effect in the arteries. The potency of endothelin-1 was significantly decreased in congestive heart failure rats. Neuropeptide Y and neuropeptide Y-(13–36) potentiated the endothelin-1-induced contraction in congestive heart failure mesenteric arteries. In 20% of the congestive heart failure rats, sarafotoxin 6c induced a contraction of 31±4%. Neuropeptide Y also potentiated U46619- and noradrenaline-induced contractions but not 5-HT-induced contractions in congestive heart failure arteries. In sham-operated animals neuropeptide Y potentiated noradrenaline- and 5-HT-induced contractions. These potentiations were inhibited by BIBP3226. Acetylcholine induced an equipotent relaxation in both groups which was unaffected by neuropeptide Y. In conclusion, neuropeptide Y responses are altered in congestive heart failure rats. The potentiating effect differs between vasoactive substances. Neuropeptide Y Y₁ and non-neuropeptide Y₁ receptors are involved.     

Myocardial perfusion and function in dogs with moderate coronary stenosis

MRI studies of first-pass contrast enhancement with polylysine-Gd-DTPA and myocardial tagging using spatial modulation of magnetization (SPAMM) were performed to assess the feasibility of a combined regional myocardial blood flow and 2D deformation exam. Instrumented closed-chest dogs were imaged at a baseline control state (Cntl) followed by two interventions: moderate coronary stenosis (St) achieved by partial occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) and moderate coronary stenosis with dobutamine loading (StD). Hypoperfusion of the anterior region (ANT) of the myocardium (LAD distribution) relative to the posterior wall (POS) based on the upslope of the signal intensity time curve from the contrast-enhanced MR images was demonstrated only with dobutamine loading (ANT:POS Cntl=1.077 ± 0.15 versus ANT:POS StD=0.477 ± 0.11, P<0.03) and was confirmed with radio-labeled microspheres measurements (ANT:POS Cntl=1.18 ± 0.2 ml/min/g versus ANT:POS StD=0.44 ± 0.1 ml/min/g; P<0.002). Significant changes in regional myocardial shortening were only seen in the StD state (P<0.02); the anterior region showed impaired myocardial shortening with dobutamine loading (P=NS), whereas the nonaffected POS region showed a marked increase in shortening when compared with Cntl (Cntl=0.964 ± 0.02 versus StD=0.884 ± 0.03; P<0.001). These results demonstrate that an integrated quantitative assessment of regional myocardial function and semiquantitative assessment of myocardial blood flow can be performed noninvasively with ultrafast MRI.

Wirkung des Äthylazetatextraktes von Chrysanthemum morifolium auf Plasmodium falciparumIn Vitro

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung des ?thylazetatextraktes von Chrysanthemum morifolium auf P. falciparum wurde in vitro untersucht. W?hrend sich die Parasit?mie bei der Kontrollgruppe bis zu 10. 90 % entwickelte, wurde bei dem mit ?thylazetatextrakt in einer Konzentration von 100 μg/ml Medium am 5. Tag der Kultur eine signifikante Hemmwirkung auf die Parasiten beobachtet. Die Parasit?mie blieb bei 1. 00 %.

消化道肿瘤免疫相关不良事件的临床分析

目的探讨消化系统恶性肿瘤中免疫检查点抑制剂(immune checkpoint inhibitors, ICIs）导致免疫相关不良事件(immune-related adverse events, irAEs)的特征及危险因素。方法 回顾性分析2019年4月至2021年10月北京大学肿瘤医院诊治的95例接受ICIs治疗的消化系统恶性肿瘤患者的临床资料和irAEs发生情况。irAEs、内分泌irAEs危险因素分析采用二元Logistic回归分析。结果 95例患者共应用ICIs治疗458例次,中位应用3例次(范围：1~33例次）。irAEs的发生率为55.8%,3~4级irAEs发生率为9.5%。最常见的irAEs为皮肤irAEs(27.4%）和内分泌irAEs(22.1%）。内分泌irAEs中甲状腺功能减退最常见(16.8%）,肾上腺皮质功能减退(2.1%）和垂体炎(1.1%）少见。多数irAEs发生于免疫治疗初期,78.2%发生于12周内。过敏反应、皮肤irAEs最早发生,中位发生时间分别为2周(范围：0.9～3.1周）和3.8周(范围：0.9～17.9周）,内分泌irAEs中位发生时间为6.9周(范围：3.0～52.1周）。多因素分析显示,女性(OR=5.197, 95%CI：1.166～23.154, P=0.031)和微卫星高度不稳定(microsatellite instability-high,MSI-H） (OR=35.048, 95%CI：2.756～445.787, P=0.006)是内分泌irAEs发生风险增加的独立危险因素,免疫治疗联合化学药物治疗(OR=0.107, 95%CI：0.021～0.412, P=0.001）是内分泌irAEs的独立保护性因素。结论在消化系统恶性肿瘤中应用ICIs具有较好的安全性。女性和MSI-H患者出现内分泌irAEs风险增加,联合化学药物治疗可能降低内分泌irAEs发生风险。
