Prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency among geriatric outpatients.

BACKGROUND. Healthy people can have low levels of cobalamin (vitamin B12) without symptoms or signs of cobalamin deficiency. Early detection of deficiency is imperative for treatment to be effective. Development of radioimmunoassay tests has greatly improved accurate determination of cobalamin (Cbl) levels. Nevertheless, results of studies of Cbl deficiency vary widely because of the variety of populations studied. METHODS. In a prospective study, we tested 100 consecutive, unselected geriatric outpatients in a primary care setting to determine the prevalence of cobalamin deficiency. All patients, 65 years of age or older, who visited the office of one of the authors during a period of 11 consecutive working days, had their serum Cbl level checked. If the level was 299 pg/mL or lower, serum intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies, serum gastrin, part 1 Schilling test, serum methylmalonic acid, and total homocysteine were done, when possible, for the diagnosis of type A gastritis and intracellular Cbl deficiency. RESULTS. Sixteen percent of geriatric outpatients had serum Cbl levels of 200 pg/mL or below, and 21% had levels between 201 and 299 pg/mL. Among the 16 patients with levels < or = 200 pg/mL, 2 patients had macrocytic anemia, 3 patients had peripheral neuropathy, and 8 patients had type A gastritis. Among the 21 patients with levels of 201 to 299 pg/mL, 2 patients had peripheral neuropathy, 9 patients had type A gastritis, and none of the patients had macrocytic anemia. Among the patients whose methylmalonic acid and total homocysteine levels were determined, the results were high in 80% of those with Cbl levels < or = 200 pg/mL and in 33% of those with levels from 201 to 299 pg/mL. CONCLUSIONS. The prevalence of Cbl deficiency in geriatric outpatients was found to be higher than in any recent report. The lower limit of the normal range for Cbl level should be increased to 300 pg/mL.     

烫伤大鼠细胞免疫抑制与肠源性内毒素血症的关系

采用大鼠４０％ＴＢＳＡⅢ度烫伤模型，将动物随机分烫伤对照组和选择性消脱污染防治组，探讨烫伤大鼠全身性细胞免疫抑制与肠源性内毒素血症的关系。结果显示，大鼠４０％Ⅲ度烫伤后脾细胞对促有丝分裂原增殖应答反应、诱生白介素－２（ＩＬ－２）活性及Ｔ细胞亚群（Ｔｈ／Ｔｓ）比值明显下降，预防性进行ＳＯＤ动物，内毒素血症发生率显著降低，脾细胞增殖应答反应和ＩＬ－２活性的诱生能力均明显恢复（Ｐ〈０．０５￣０．０１），     

脾结核的临床特征

目的 探讨脾结核的临床特点、诊断和治疗。方法 回顾性分析经临床、手术及病理证实的11例脾结核的临床特征。结果 11例患者中，男7例，女4例，平均年龄29岁。6例术后证实，5例经内科保守治疗后证实。多数患者表现为发热、消瘦、血沉增快、贫血、脾肿大，B超发现脾脏肿大11例，其中8例脾内多发占位，3例为孤立性占位；7例行CT检查，6例发现脾脏多发性大小不等的结节状低密度灶，1例为单发类圆形低密度影，边缘不清，增强扫描病灶内部无强化；6例患者伴后腹膜、脾门区等淋巴结肿大，5例患者伴其它脏器结核。结论 不明原因发热、消瘦、血沉增快、贫血、脾肿大为脾结核的主要临床表现，腹部B超和腹部CT能对脾结核作出较准确的判断，脾结核患者经正规治疗可治愈。     

原癌基因C－erb B－2蛋白产物在前列腺癌中的表达

应用抗Ｃ－ｅｒｂＢ－２癌蛋白抗体对３０例前列腺癌进行研究，同时选取１０例正常前列腺组织作为对照。结果表明Ｃ－ｅｒｂＢ－２蛋白与肿瘤分化程度有关。并可能对判断其生物学行为，评估预后有重要意义。     

The postoperative recurrence of crohn's disease: An analysis of 37 patients with crohn's disease who underwent endoscopy during initial surgery

A total 37 patients with Crohn's disease who underwent intraoperative endoscopy during resection of the affected intestine were evaluated in this study. The average age of the patients at surgery was 23.2 years. The residual lesions in the remaining intestine identified by intraoperative endoscopy were classified according to their pathologic profiles into three groups: A, B and C. In group A, comprising patients with longitudinal ulcers and/or a cobblestone appearance, 10 of 12 patients had recurrence. In 5 of these 10, the residual lesions were exacerbated and 2 required a further operation. The remaining 5 patients showed recurrence at the site of previous anastomosis and 2 of these 5 required additional surgery.In group B, comprising patients with small ulcers, aphthoid ulcers, or scars, and group C, comprising patients with no residual lesions, recurrence was observed in 13 of 16, and 3 of 9 patients, respectively. The recurrent lesions were all found proximal to, or at the site of previous anastomosis. Additional operations were performed on 3 of the group B patients. The findings of this study revealed that recurrence requiring additional surgery is more frequent at the site of anastomosis, regardless of the endoscopic appearance of the residual lesions.
