心包积液中几种多肽类物质的观察

目的 :为探讨C型利钠多肽 (CNP)、神经肽Y(NPY)、降钙素基因相关肽 (CGRP)在心包积液时的变化及其作用。方法 :用放射免疫分析测定心包积液患者的血液和心包积液中的CNP、NPY、CGRP水平。并与正常对照组的血液中的水平进行比较。结果 :血液和心包积液中的CNP显著高于对照组 (p <0 0 1) ,血液中NPY和CGRP则与对照组无显著性差异 (p >0 0 5 ) ,心包积液中NPY水平显著低于血液中 (p <0 0 5 ) ,心包积液中的CGRP水平则显著高于血液中 (p <0 0 1)。心包积液的量与心包积液中CNP、CGRP呈正相关 (r=0 71,p <0 0 1,r=0 5 7,p <0 0 1)与NPY呈负相关 (r=- 0 6 7,p <0 0 1) ,心包积液中的CNP、NPY和CGRP与其血液中的浓度间无显著相关性 (p >0 0 5 )。结论 :心包积液中有一定量的CNP、NPY和CGRP ,很可能由心包分泌。心包积液患者体内的CNP、NPY和CGRP的改变可能对心包积液的病理生理状况起到重要的调节作用。     

认知暴露疗法治疗创伤后应激障碍的研究

目的 探讨认知暴露疗法治疗创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的效果.方法 连续病例20名被随机分成两组,一组采取药物干预,另一组采用认知暴露疗法结合药物干预.疗效采用创伤后应激障碍症状清单量表(PCLS)、症状自评量表(SCL-90)、贝克抑郁问卷(BDI)、状态-特质焦虑问卷(STAI-Form Y)、汉密顿抑郁量表(HAMD)、汉密顿焦虑量表(HAMA)进行盲法评定.结果 药物治疗和结合治疗都在一定程度上改善了PTSD的症状,但是在再经历方面,结合治疗组下降稳定.其余各量表纵向效应明显.随访时用创伤后应激障碍症状清单量表(PCLS)进行测量,发现结合治疗组有两名被试已经不再符合PTSD诊断阶段,但是统计检验显示两治疗组之间并无差异.结论 认知暴露疗法有助于PTSD患者的心理康复.

Surveying the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema in school-children in Khon Kaen, Northeastern Thailand using the ISAAC questionnaire: phase III

This is the second survey of schoolchildren in Khon Kaen, Northeastern Thailand, using the Thai version of the ISAAC questionnaire to examine the trend in the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema, and to compare the results with the ISAAC Phase I data. We analyzed 5,075 questionnaires comprising 2,119 six- to seven- and 2,956 thirteen- to fourteen-year-old children (48 and 42 percent male, respectively). The cumulative vs. 12-month prevalence according to the written questionnaires were: 14.3 vs. 9.8% for wheezing, 42.6 vs. 33.3% for rhinitis and 13.5 vs. 11.2% for eczema, respectively. The cumulative vs. 12-month prevalence for the wheezing module, based on the video questionnaire, was 9.2 vs. 6.3%, respectively. Most Phase III prevalence was significantly lower than the first survey except for the steady, 12-month prevalence of wheeze. Our study confirms the high prevalence of allergic diseases among school-children in Northeastern Thailand; albeit, prevalence has not increased in recent years. The Thai version of the English-language ISAAC questionnaire needs to be validated before further use in epidemiological research.     

Rapid identification and susceptibility testing using the VITEK(R) 2 system using culture fluids from positive BacT/ALERT(R) blood cultures

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In order to reduce the turnaround time for laboratory diagnosis of bacteremia, the efficacy of identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing using samples taken directly from positive BacT/ALERT(R) standard aerobic and standard anaerobic blood culture bottles was evaluated. METHODS: 160 positive blood culture bottles were examined and incubated at 35 degrees C in 5% carbon dioxide for 4-24 h, and an aliquot of the culture fluid was Gram stained. Samples containing Gram-negative bacilli were inoculated on VITEK(R) 2 ID-GNB (identification-Gram-negative bacilli) and AST (antimicrobial susceptibility testing)-GN04 cards, and those containing Gram-positive cocci were inoculated on ID-GPC (identification-Gram-positive cocci) and AST-P526 cards. The same samples were also examined by the standard method, involving subculture from positive BacT/ALERT standard blood culture bottles. RESULTS: Eighty seven of 97 Gram-negative bacilli (89.7%) and 21 of 63 Gram-positive cocci (33.3%) were correctly identified to the species level. For antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the direct method had an overall error rate of 5.4% for Gram-negative bacilli, with 0.9% very major, 0.9% major, and 3.6% minor discrepancies compared to the standard method. The overall error rate in antimicrobial susceptibility testing for the 13 Staphylococcus spp. was 10.3%, with 6.0% very major, 2.6% major, and 1.7% minor discrepancies. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that VITEK 2 cards inoculated with samples taken directly from positive Bact/ALERT blood culture bottles would provide acceptable identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results for Gram-negative bacilli, but not for Gram-positive cocci. Compared to the standard method, the direct method would reduce turnaround time by at least 24 h.

目的 探讨视黄醇结合蛋白4(RBP4)的血清水平及-G 803 A SNP与代谢综合征的关系.方法 收集116名伴2型糖尿病的代谢综合征患者和93名正常体检者,放射免疫法测定RBP4血清水平,聚合酶链式反应及序列分析检测G 803 A多态性基因型.结果 (1)RBP4水平在所有受试者中与体质指数(BMI)、腰围、空腹胰岛素(FINS)、胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)、三酰甘油(TG)正相关,对照组中与TG、TC、LDL-C正相关,男性组中与DBP正相关,女性组中与年龄、FINS、HOMA-IR、TG、SBP正相关,多元逐步回归分析发现腰围、BMI、TG和年龄是独立相关因素;RBP4水平在代谢综合征组和男性组显著升高,在有规律运动组显著降低.(2)代谢综合征组与正常对照组的RBP4-G 803 A多态性基因型分布未见显著差异,按不同基因型分组的代谢指标亦无显著性差异.结论 在中国汉族人群中,RBP4水平与多个代谢参数相关,RBP4基因-G 803 A SNP与代谢综合征没有关联.     

Intratracheal administration of liposomal clodronate accelerates alveolar macrophage reconstitution following fetal liver transplantation

To facilitate study of alveolar macrophages in vivo, we developed a method to rapidly and efficiently replace resident alveolar macrophages with macrophages of a different (donor) genotype. Chimeric mice were generated by lethal irradiation followed by fetal liver transplantation (FLT) using green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic reporter mice as donors. Kinetics of peripheral blood monocyte (PBM) and alveolar macrophage reconstitution was determined 4 and 10 weeks post-FLT by quantifying the percentage of GFP+ cells. To enhance the recruitment of donor monocytes into the lung after FLT, mice were treated with intratracheal administration of liposomal clodronate to deplete host alveolar macrophages at 6 weeks post-FLT. PBM reconstitution occurred by 4 weeks after FLT (85.7+/-1.6% of CD11b+/Gr-1+ monocytes were GFP+), and minimal alveolar macrophage repopulation was observed (9.5% GFP+). By 10 weeks following FLT, 48% of alveolar macrophages were GFP+ by immunostaining of macrophages on lung tissue sections, and 55.1 +/- 1.6% of lung lavage macrophages were GFP+ by fluorescein-activated cell sorter analysis. Clodronate treatment resulted in a significant increase in GFP+ alveolar macrophages 10 weeks after FLT. By immunostaining, 90% of macrophages were GFP+ on lung tissue sections and 87.5 +/- 1.1% GFP+ in lung lavage (compared with GFP-transgenic controls). The ability of newly recruited alveolar macrophages to clear Pseudomonas aeruginosa and activate nuclear factor-kappaB in response to Eschericia coli lipopolysaccharide demonstrated normal macrophage function. Optimizing this methodology provides an important tool for the study of specific genes and their contribution to alveolar macrophage function in vivo.
