Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number Is Associated With Treatment Response and Cognitive Function in Euthymic Bipolar Patients Receiving Valproate

BackgroundBipolar disorder (BD) is associated with cognitive impairment and mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the associations among mitochondrial DNA copy number (MCN), treatment response, and cognitive function remain elusive in BD patients.MethodsSixty euthymic BD patients receiving valproate (VPA) and 66 healthy controls from the community were recruited. The indices of metabolic syndrome (MetS) were measured. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of blood leukocytes was used to measure the MCN. Cognitive function was measured by calculating perseverative errors and completed categories on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). The VPA treatment response was measured using the Alda scale.ResultsBD patients had significantly higher MCN, triglyceride, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, waist circumference, and worse performance on the WCST than the controls. Regression models showed that BD itself and the VPA concentration exerted significant effects on increased MCN levels. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that an MCN of 2.05 distinguished VPA responders from nonresponders, with an area under the curve of 0.705 and a sensitivity and specificity of 0.529 and 0.816, respectively. An MCN level ≥2.05 was associated with 5.39 higher odds of being a VPA responder (P = .006). BD patients who were stratified into the high-MCN group had a higher VPA response rate, better WCST performance, lower CRP level, and less MetS.ConclusionsThe study suggests a link between the peripheral MCN and cognitive function in BD patients. As an inflammatory status, MetS might modulate this association.     

全肠外营养诱导线粒体应激介导的肝细胞凋亡的研究

目的探讨全肠外营养诱导新生乳猪线粒体应激介导的肝细胞凋亡的作用机制。方法以肠内营养乳猪作为对照,建立全肠外营养新生乳猪实验动物模型,喂养7d后获取肝脏组织,分离原代肝细胞,部分肝组织应用琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测肝细胞DNA凋亡条带,通过凋亡蛋白活性测定、免疫组织化学、Western blot印迹法等检测全肠外营养诱导肝细胞发生凋亡的蛋白表达。结果全肠外营养组乳猪肝细胞活率为（49±21）％,明显低于肠内营养组的（88±14）％（P〈0．05）。全肠外营养乳猪肝组织DNA电泳呈现典型梯形凋亡条带,细胞凋亡ELISA检测发现细胞凋亡定量高达对照组的2．6倍,半胱天冬氨酸蛋白酶（caspase）-3活性也明显升高,与肠内营养相比增高9．9倍,但ATP酶活性下降了24％。Westernblot显示全肠外营养组肝组织中相关凋亡蛋白酶PARP、caspase-9和-7蛋白酶原被活化,Bcl-2蛋白表达量下调,Bax蛋白量表达上调;同时线粒体内细胞色素C释放至胞浆内,使胞浆内细胞色素C表达水平升高。免疫组织化学也显示全肠外营养组Bax表达上调。结论全肠外营养可以损伤肝组织,并通过线粒体应激信号传导通路诱导肝细胞凋亡。

下颌骨牵引成骨过程中血运重建方式初步探讨

目的通过建立兔下颌骨牵引成骨实验动物模型,观察其动态过程,初步探讨血运重建方式及机制。方法选用新西兰白兔30只,6只动物做空白对照组;24只动物行右侧下颌骨植入外置式颌骨牵引器。经7d延迟期后,按1mm/d速率延长下颌骨7d,然后固定8周。在延迟期第7天,牵引期第2、4、7天,固定期第1、3、6、8周时分别处死3只动物,用X线片、苏木精-伊红染色、免疫组化方法检测血管和新骨生成情况,以及微血管密度变化规律。结果实验组22只兔成功进行下颌骨牵引延长,牵引区血管生成方式以芽生和血管上皮岛为主。在牵引期第2天,骨断端微血管密度为28.2±7.0,明显高于其他各组(P<0.01),在固定期下降明显,固定第8周时,微血管密度为4.3±1.3,与正常组无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论在牵引初期牵引骨断端有强烈的微血管反应,血运重建先于新骨重建;固定期微血管密度降低,血管成熟,血运重建随新骨生成改建完成而结束。     

手术治疗对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征患者夜间微觉醒与心率变异的影响

目的:探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)患者微觉醒与心率变异(HRV)的关系及手术后的变化。方法:对54例重度OSAHS患者行手术前后PSG。分析1 h内每个呼吸紊乱相关微觉醒开始前10 s的平均心率(HR)和微觉醒开始后10 s的最高HR比较。同时计算1 h内呼吸紊乱相关微觉醒指数(B-Arl)和脉率升高指数(PRRI)并作相关分析。比较不伴微觉醒事件和伴有微觉醒事件的心率差(△HR)及手术后的影响。结果:微觉醒开始后10 s的最高HR显著高于微觉醒开始前的平均HR,且B-Arl与PRRI呈显著正相关,伴有微觉醒的呼吸事件终止前后△HR显著高于不伴微觉醒的呼吸事件的△HR,手术后患者△HR显著低于术前。结论:B-Arl与夜间HRV相关,提示微觉醒可影响心血管调节功能,频繁的微觉醒是导致心血管疾病的重要原因之一。手术可通过减少微觉醒来减轻患者的心血管损害。

Acute appendicitis after colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection: a case report

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was originally described in 1973 and is currently a popular practice used in treating polyps, small adenomas, and early cancers. Although the safety of EMR has been proven in numerous studies, complications occur occasionally. We report a case in which the patient complained of severe upper abdominal pain and who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after colorectal EMR. The patient recovered well after surgery. Cautious observation is necessary when resuming oral intake in patients who undergo colorectal EMR and who complain of postoperative abdominal pain. Observation is especially important for patients with a fecalith that may have originally existed in the appendix or in the colon near the appendix.
