核苷类衍生物的合成

以尿嘧啶核苷和HIV-逆转录酶抑制剂扎西他宾为先导化合物,对其5-羟基进行磷酸化修饰,然后以磷原子为桥,引入各种氨基酸酯及取代苯环,从而试图克服这类药物对核苷激酶的依赖性,提高药物的生物活性,降低药物对细胞的毒性,以此为设计思路合成了7个新的核苷类衍生物,其结构经IR,1HNMR,13CNMR,MS分析确定.

舒张功能障碍对冠心病的诊断价值

目的应用超声多普勒方法评价冠心病患者的左室整体舒张功能及舒张功能障碍的发生率，探讨舒张功能障碍在冠心病无创诊断中的价值。方法对入选病人行常规检查，同时进行二尖瓣血流频谱、肺静脉血流频谱及二尖瓣环组织多普勒检查，对比临床标准与舒张功能障碍标准对冠心病的诊断率。结果舒张功能障碍标准对冠心病的检出率显著高于临床标准。结论舒张功能检查可作为冠心病诊断的初筛检查。     

Evaluation of the clinical, hemodynamic and neurohormonal response to levosimendan administration in decompensated heart failure patients. One-month follow-up.

INTRODUCTION: Levosimendan is an inodilatory drug with hemodynamic effects in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure. AIM: Short-term (one month) evaluation of clinical, hemodynamic and neurohormonal changes in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure undergoing levosimendan therapy. METHODS: Twenty-six (21 male) consecutive patients were studied, corresponding to 32 levosimendan administrations (bolus + 24h infusion), aged 56.7+/-13.0 years, with decompensated chronic heart failure, in NYHA functional class III-IV (78.1% in class IV), and cardiac index (CI) <2.5 l/min/m2. Clinical (NYHA class), non-invasive hemodynamic (echocardiography) and neurohormonal (Elecsys ECLIA NT-ProBNP) evaluations were performed before levosimendan administration and on days 1, 4, 10 and 30. RESULTS: 1) Until day 10, there was a progressive decrease in NT-ProBNP values and weight (p<0.001), with an increase in CI (p<0.001); 2) NYHA functional class improved progressively, with 76% of the patients in NYHA class II at day 30; 3) NT-ProBNP values at day 1 correlated inversely (r=-0.414; p=0.024) with CI at day 4; and 4) the absolute decrease in NT-ProBNP values at day 4 (relative to baseline values) correlated with weight loss at day 4 (r=0.495, p=0.005), day 10 (r=0.424, p=0.031) and day 30 (r=0.486, p=0.030). CONCLUSION: Levosimendan therapy in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure contributes to progressive NYHA class improvement. The variations seen in NYHA class and hemodynamics was reflected in changes in NT-ProBNP.     

针灸加推拿刮法治疗胫骨结节骨骺炎16例

胫骨结节骨骺炎是由于股四头肌肌腱对胫骨结节的过度牵拉造成的骨骺疾病，在刚从事运动训练的青少年及刚人体育院校学习的新生中发病率较高，尤其多见于田径、篮球、排球等项目专选的学生。笔者自2000年～2003年中，共收治了16例该病患者，均获满意疗效，现介绍如下。     

MR Findings of Intrathecal Chemotherapy-Related Myelopathy in Two Cases: Mimicker of Subacute Combined Degeneration

We report the findings of spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 2 patients who had undergone intrathecal chemotherapy and presented with the subacute onset of ascending numbness and weakness. MRI revealed a symmetric hyperintensity at the posterior columns of the spinal cord from the lower cervical region down to the conus medullaris level on T2-weighted images, and no abnormal enhancement. The imaging findings are similar to those seen in subacute combined degeneration (SCD), but the serum vitamin B(12) levels were normal in these 2 cases.     

Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis due to Streptococcus constellatus infection.

Adult septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) due to Streptococcus constellatus infection has not been reported. We report a case of CST due to S. constellatus in a 39-year-old man who had typical presentations of septic CST including headache, fever, and ophthalmoplegia, with an evolving course for 10 days before he was sent to our emergency room. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study revealed CST, which was confirmed by cerebral angiography study. Multiple positive blood cultures grew viridans streptococci and further species identification with conventional methods, API-20 STREPT system analysis, and polymerase chain reaction sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA revealed S. constellatus. The presence of sphenoid sinusitis in this patient was also demonstrated by cranial MRI study, and the presence of meningitis by meningeal irritation signs and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings. Chronic alcohol consumption for more than 10 years was the only predisposing condition to this infection. He had a full recovery after 6 weeks of intravenous penicillin G therapy (24 x 10(6) U/day). Almost complete regression of cavernous sinus lesion and resolution of sphenoid sinusitis were shown on follow-up cranial MRI study about 6 months later.     

β-防御素在慢性鼻-鼻窦炎和正常鼻黏膜中的表达

近年来研究表明，鼻黏膜及黏膜下腺体中存在大量的免疫活性细胞并分泌大量的生物活性分子，如各类白介素、溶菌酶、抑菌肽等。研究这些生物活性分子对如何提高鼻腔黏膜的防御功能及慢性鼻-鼻窦炎的防治有重要意义。人类β-防御素（human β-defensins，hBD），包括hBD-1和hBD-2是近几年发现的广泛分布于口腔、呼吸道、胃肠道、泌尿道黏膜上皮及黏膜下腺体组织的重要蛋白质分子，
