An etiological study on fulminant viral hepatitis]

Viral markers were studied in 79 cases of viral hepatitis with hepatic failure. The results were shown as follows: 8 cases were positive for anti-HAV IgM (10.12%); 76 cases positive for HBsAg or anti-HBc IgM (96.20%) and 41 cases positive for anti-HCV antibodies (51.89%). Among those with anti-HCV positive, 35 cases were co-infected with HBV, 5 cases with HAV and/or HCV, only one was infected with HCV alone 2 cases were HD-Ag positive (2.52%) and one not identified (1.27%). With the reference of clinical findings, patients co-infected with HBV/HCV or anti-HBc IgM positive were more critical and usually entail higher mortality. In cases with HCV co-infections, the positive HBV replication markers seems to be reduced. Hepatic failure without HBV replicative markers had a high rate of hepatic coma as well as poor outcome.     

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula associated with a primitive trigeminal artery

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas are not rare, but they have never been reported in association with persistent primitive trigeminal artery. We recently encountered such a case. The Jaeger-Hamby procedure was employed, with mandatory occlusion of the primitive trigeminal artery.     

Structure and promoter organization of the human monoamine oxidase A and B genes.

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B play an important role in regulating levels of biogenic amines. MAO A and B cDNAs have been cloned and the deduced amino acids share 73% sequence identity. The genes for MAOA and B are comprised of 15 exons interspersed by 14 introns, span at least 60 kb and exhibit identical exon-intron organization. These findings suggest that the MAOA and MAOB genes are derived from the duplication of a common ancestral gene. The core promoter region of MAOA is comprised of two 90 bp repeats, each of which contains two Spl elements and lacks a TATA box. The MAOB core promoter region contains two sets of overlapping Spl sites which flank a CACCC element all upstream of a TATA box. The different organization of the MAOA and MAOB promoters may underlie their different cell and tissue specific expression.     

子宫颈上皮不典型增生与宫颈癌细胞超微结构的观察比较

光镜和电镜观察慢性宫颈炎上皮不典型增生42例,宫颈癌21例,正常对照7例。上皮不典型增生之一是位于深部的储备细胞增生,细胞的核质比大,细胞器少,分化较低。鳞状上皮不典型增生细胞特点是核质比增大,核形不整,核膜内陷,细胞器增多,桥粒和张力原纤维减少。鳞癌细胞的核质比更大,核膜内褶深,细胞器更多,桥粒和张力原纤维很少或消失,分化低的癌细胞尤明显。粘液性腺癌腺上皮深部可见储备细胞转化的癌细胞。     

脊髓手术中体感诱发电位监测的临床研究

报告３０例脊髓手术中体感诱发电位（ＳＥＰ）连续监测的临床研究结果。ＳＥＰ记录包括脊髓ＳＥＰ（ＳＳＥＰ）和皮层ＳＥＰ（ＳＣＥＰ）。麻醉药物对ＳＥＰ有一定程度影响，ＳＣＥＰ相对较大。认为，至少术中ＳＥＰ潜伏期延长不超过８％和波幅降低不超过５０％，不会引起术后并发症，超过该范围由于病例较少，尚不能肯定与预后的关系，需进一步探讨。     

PCR法检测淋球菌的临床应用

应用PcR法提高了淋球菌阳性检出率并与培养法做比较。118例拟诊淋病患者的样本采自尿道分泌物或宫颈分泌物,部分采自前段尿。用双盲法测定,结果检出率分别为73.7％和49.1％,PcR法的阳性检出率明显高于培养法,P<0.05。总阳性符合率分别为92.7％和69.8％,PcR法显著高于培养法P相似文献   

Electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxytryptophol. I: Studies in acid solution

The oxidation chemistry of the endogenous central nervous system indole 5-hydroxytryptophol (5-HTOL) has been studied at pH 2 using electrochemical methods. The first voltammetric oxidation peak (I) appears to involve an initial one-electron abstraction giving a transient radical cation that, in the rate-controlling step, deprotonates to give a neutral radical. A radical-substrate reaction then occurs to give a dimer radical which is further oxidized to yield three simple dimers (4,4'-,4,6'-, and 2,4'-linked). The neutral radical can be further oxidized (1e) to a quinone imine that, as a result of very fast follow-up chemistry and electrochemistry, yields tryptophol-4,5-dione (B) which has been isolated in pure form. Reactions between intermediate species also result in three dimers containing residues of 5-HTOL and B and an unusual oxygen-bridged trimer.     

进一步重视脂肪新功能对创面愈合作用的研究

创面愈合的研究范围正随着相关领域的研究进展而不断拓展和完善。以皮下脂肪组织为例 ,以往多数的研究认为 ,脂肪组织来源于间充质细胞 (mesenchymalcell,MC) ,其功能仅是一个能量贮存仓库。但近年来的研究表明 ,脂肪组织还可能是一个重要的内分泌器官 ,在发育学、信号转导 ,以及干细胞作用等多方面与组织修复存在着密切联系。有专家认为 ,加强对脂肪细胞新功能的研究和开发 ,有可能对创面修复和组织再生机制产生新的认识 ,并寻找出新的促愈合手段。脂肪细胞参与创面愈合首先表现在它可能作为一个内分泌器官。迄今为止 ,已经发现人的脂肪细…
