1H-NMR spectroscopy of cerebrospinal fluid of fetal sheep during hypoxia-induced acidemia and recovery

The purpose of the study was to investigate the sequence of processes occurring during and after hypoxia-induced acidemia. We used proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which provides an overview of metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), reflecting neuronal metabolism and damage. The pathophysiological condition of acute fetal asphyxia was mimicked by reducing maternal uterine blood flow in 14 unanesthetized pregnant ewes. CSF metabolites were measured during hypoxia-induced acidemia, and during the following recovery period, including the periods at 24 and 48 h after the hypoxic insult. Maximum values of the following CSF metabolites were reached during severe hypoxia (pH 相似文献   

Hypoxia in fetal lambs: a study with (1)H-MNR spectroscopy of cerebrospinal fluid

In fetal lambs, severe hypoxia (SH) will lead to brain damage. Mild hypoxia (MH) is thought to be relatively safe for the fetal brain because compensating mechanisms are activated. We questioned whether MH, leading to mild acidosis, induces changes in cerebral metabolism. Metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, as analyzed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, were studied in two groups of seven anesthetized near-term fetal lambs. In group I, SH leading to acidosis with an arterial pH <7.1 was achieved. In group II, MH with an intended pH of 7.23--7.27 was reached [start of MH (SMH)], and maintained during 2 h [end of MH (EMH)]. During SH, choline levels in CSF, a possible indicator of cell membrane damage, were increased. Both during SH and at EMH, CSF levels of lactic acid, alanine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, lysine, branched chain amino acids, and hypoxanthine were increased compared with control values and with SMH, respectively. At EMH, the hypoxanthine CSF-to-blood ratio was increased as compared with SMH. These results indicate that prolonged MH leads to energy degradation in the fetal lamb brain and may not be as safe as assumed.     

筛查和诊断糖尿病的新观点

美国约有30％的糖尿病患者（约620万人）被漏诊。超过25％的新诊断糖尿病患者已经患有糖尿病视网膜病变或出现微量白蛋白尿，这意味着患者在2型糖尿病发病和确诊之间被“忽视”了7年。有时发现在糖尿病前期，即空腹血糖（FPG）略有偏高（IFG，空腹血糖受损）或口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT）略有偏高，甚至已存在微血管和大血管并发症。     

青翘和老翘中连翘苷的含量测定

目的：测定青翘与老翘中连翘苷含量。方法：。双波和薄层扫描法。结果：表翘中连翘苷含量为０．０７６％;老翘中仅占０．０１２％,与报道的青翘中连翘酯苷含量高于老翘的实验结果相同,结论;本文结果与文献报道的就抗菌效价而言青翘优于老翘的结论吻合,目前市售药材青老翘混杂,有必要进行深入研究,确定合理的采收期。     

Radiologically guided balloon dilation of gastrointestinal strictures. Part I. Technique and factors influencing procedural success

Radiologically guided balloon catheters were used to dilate 94 gastrointestinal strictures in 92 patients over a 6-year period. Fifty strictures were esophageal and 44 nonesophageal (22 gastroenterostomies, 11 antral-pyloric strictures, four colorectal strictures, four enteroenterostomies, and three miscellaneous strictures). Factors influencing the success of stricture intubation included patient age, stricture location (esophageal vs. nonesophageal and proximal vs. distal esophageal), and association with a surgical anastomosis. Malignancy was associated with greater postdilation irregularity and a smaller increase in stricture diameter, as measured radiographically. Procedural failures occurred in 8% of cases (2% of esophageal and 30% of nonesophageal lesions). Two small, asymptomatic mucosal tears were seen after dilation (one esophageal and one colonic); no other procedural complications occurred. Following successful dilation, 16 patients (17%; six with esophageal and ten with non-esophageal strictures) had recurrence of symptoms during short-term (30-day) follow-up.     

苦楝化学成份的研究

从苦楝(Melia azedarach L.)果中分得苦楝新醇(Ⅰ),苦楝醇(Ⅱ)、苦楝酮(Ⅲ)、苦楝二醇(Ⅳ)、香草醛(Ⅴ)和香草酸(Ⅵ)。根据波谱(IR,MS,¹HNMR,¹³CNMR)分析和理化常数测定,确定了它们的结构。其中苦楝新醇(Ⅰ)为新化合物,对菜青小虫有一定的拒食活性。
