首发精神分裂症患者精神药物使用调查

目的 了解首发精神分裂症患者精神药物使用情况。方法 采用回顾性调查研究方法对我院2001年1-6月住院的206例首发精神分裂症患者精神药物使用情况进行调查。结果 单一用药到出院者114例，因用药后疗效不好致换药者24例，合并用药者68例；单一用药频度排列前4位的是氯氮平，氯丙嗪、舒比利，维思通；联用抗胆碱药物者63例。结论 非典型抗精神病药物氯氮平仍是一线抗精神病药物，我院对首发精神分裂症患者精神药物使用基本合理，但应减少联合用药。

构建7q32区域鼻咽癌和正常鼻咽上皮细胞部分基因的表达图谱

目的构建７ｑ３２区域鼻咽癌细胞和组织及原代培养人正常鼻咽上皮细胞的部分基因表达图谱。方法通过差异ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ和Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ杂交的方法检测定位于７ｑ３２区域的２０个ＥＳＴ在鼻咽癌细胞和鼻咽癌组织及原代培养人正常鼻咽上皮细胞ｍＲＮＡ的表达水平。结果８个ＥＳＴ在鼻咽癌细胞ＨＮＥ１和原代培养人正常鼻咽上皮细胞中表达量较一致，７个ＥＳＴ在两种细胞中均无表达，３个ＥＳＴ（Ｗ７２６８８、Ｈ１９８３０、ＡＡ１３０６３０）在鼻咽癌细胞株中表达上调，而２个ＥＳＴ（ＡＡ０７０４３７、Ｈ９０８８２）在原代培养人鼻咽上皮细胞中表达上调。在１３例鼻咽癌活检组织中３０．７％（４／１３）的ＡＡ０７０４３７表达下调，７７％（１０／１３）的Ｗ７２６８８和７７％（１０／１３）的Ｈ１９８３０表达上升。结论构建了７ｑ３２区域鼻咽癌细胞和组织及原代培养人正常鼻咽上皮细胞部分基因表达图谱，并初步认为Ａ０７０４３７的表达下调和Ｗ７２６８８、Ｈ１９８３０的过表达与鼻咽癌的发生有关。     

益尔力口服液对饥饿运动小鼠肝糖原含量的影响

益尔力口服液主治强力疲劳、气血虚损引起的肢体疲倦、精神不振、举动乏力。用葸酮法研究表明,其对肝糖原合成有明显促进作用,可作为扶正固本指标之一。     

牙龈组织基膜超微结构的破坏与慢性牙周炎相关性之研究

对17例慢性牙周炎患者牙龈组织基膜进行电镜观察发现,随着病情加重基膜出现增生,断裂,分离及多层化等不同程度的改变,与基膜关系密切的微原纤维亦称耐酸纤维,同时严重受损并形成颗粒样物,沉集在基膜附近,在基膜断裂之穴口中可见有胶原纤维嵌入。这样既破坏了基膜的防御屏障,也阻碍了牙周其它正常组织的修复,从而进一步加深了牙周病的发展。     

Fusion of a scid Pre-B Cell with a Wild Type (Myeloma) B Cell Results in Correct Rearrangement of a V(D)J Recombination Substrate

Mice with the scid mutation have a defect in the V(D)J recombinase. In order to determine whether the SCID product is normally present in mature B cells that do not have the recombinase activity, scid pre-B cells were fused with myeloma cells. It was found that in the hybrid cells, a rearrangement test gene was correctly joined immediately after fusion. The same test gene was aberrantly rearranged in the scid pre-B cells. Stable hybrids between the scid pre-B and the myeloma cells had lost the expression of RAG-1 and RAG-2 genes, supporting the previous finding of an inhibitor of rearrangement in myeloma cells that acts shortly after fusion. Thus, mature B cells apparently contain the SCID product, the wild type SCID function is not competitively interfered with by products present in scid pre-B cells, and the SCID product seems not to be a target for the recombinase inhibitor.     

肾小管上皮细胞转分化过程中ILK的表达变化及大黄素对其的干预效应

目的:研究信号蛋白ILK在IL-1β诱导的肾小管上皮细胞-肌成纤维细胞转分化(TEMT)中的表达变化以及大黄素是否是通过抑制ILK的表达而影响IL-1β诱导的肾小管上皮细胞-肌成纤维细胞转分化.方法:以体外培养的正常大鼠肾小管上皮细胞株(NRK52E)为研究对象,分为空白对照组、大黄素对照组、IL-1β诱导组、IL-1β加大黄素组.在倒置相差显微镜下观察细胞形态变化;免疫双标法检测a-平滑肌肌动蛋白(a-SMA)和E-钙黏连素(E-cadherin)的表达;免疫单染检测ILK的表达;ELISA法测定培养细胞分泌的纤维连接蛋白(FN)含量.结果:IL-1β诱导细胞转变为明显类似成纤维细胞形态,增加a-SMA的表达[(65.5±1.7)vs(140.4±3.0),P<0.05],减少E-cadherin的表达[(82.5±1.0)vs(36.0±2.8),P<0.05),促进ILK的表达[(36.1±3.1)vs(82.4±1.2),P<0.05],促进FN的合成[(54.6±3.1)mg/Lvs(124.8±3.2)mg/L,P<0.05],加入大黄素后上述变化受到明显抑制.结论:在IL-1β诱导的TEMT中ILK的表达是明显上调的,大黄素可能通过下调ILK的表达而抑制IL-1β诱导的TEMT.     

Vancomycin-resistant enterococcal bacteremia: comparison of clinical features and outcome between Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens. This study was conducted to clarify the clinical features and outcome of patients with vancomycin-resistant enterococcal bacteremia. METHODS: Patients with vancomycin-resistant enterococcal bacteremia treated at a medical center in northern Taiwan between November 1998 and July 2006 were reviewed. Clinical and bacteriological characteristics of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were compared. RESULTS: Twelve patients (6 males and 6 females) were included for analyses. The mean age was 69.3 years (range, 40 to 86 years), and 8 cases (66.7%) were older than 65 years. All patients had underlying disease. Two patients received total hip replacement before development of VRE bacteremia. Twelve patients had prior exposure to broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy. Ten patients had prior intensive care unit stay and prior mechanical ventilation before VRE bacteremia. All of the patients (n = 12) had an intravascular catheter in place. Bacteremia was caused by E. faecalis in 4 patients and by E. faecium in eight. The portals of entry included urinary tract (8.3%), skin, soft tissue and bone (41.7%) and unknown sources (50.0%). E. faecium showed a higher rate of resistance to ampicillin and teicoplanin than E. faecalis (87.5% vs 0.0%, p=0.01). The 60-day mortality rate was higher in patients with E. faecium bacteremia than E. faecalis bacteremia (62.5% vs 0.0%), although statistical significance was not obtained (p=0.08). CONCLUSIONS: VRE bacteremia may have an impact on the mortality and morbidity of hospitalized patients. Patients with bacteremia caused by vancomycin-resistant E. faecium had a grave prognosis, especially immunosuppressed patients. The prudent use of antibiotics and strict enforcement of infection control may prevent further emergence and spread of VRE.
