Identification of testis development and spermatogenesis-related genes in human and mouse testes using cDNA arrays

We have constructed cDNA microarrays from the human testis large insert cDNA library, containing 9216 genes, together with several housekeeping genes. The cDNA microarrays were used to identify gene expression differences between human fetal and adult testes. Of >8700 hybridized clones, 731 exhibited significant differential expression characteristics. About 7500 genes were identified when the same cDNA microarrays were used for hybridization with cDNA probes from mouse testis, with 256 genes having significant differential expression between the age of 1-4 weeks. Among these genes, 101 were identified as critically related to testis development and possibly to spermatogenesis since they were found in both human and mouse testes, and expressed differentially at different stages of testis development. Of the 101 development-related genes, 59 full-length cDNAs have been sequenced previously, while the full-length cDNAs of the other 42 genes have not been published. We have obtained 11 full-length sequences of the 42 genes and deposited them in the GenBank. The conserved testis development-related genes found in both human and mouse testes may include genes that are likely to be involved in testicular functions, especially spermatogenesis, thus providing a basis for further functional characterization of the genes in mouse models.     

Functional magnetic resonance imaging evidence for binocular interactions in human visual cortex

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we explored the binocular interactions occurring when subjects viewed dichoptically presented checkerboard stimuli. A flickering radial checkerboard was presented to each eye of the subject, while T2*-weighted images were acquired over the visual cortex with gradient-echo, echoplanar sequences. We compared responses in striate and extrastriate visual cortex under four conditions: both eyes were stimulated at the same time (binocular condition), each eye was stimulated in alternation (monocular condition) or first the one eye then the other eye was stimulated (left eye first - right eye trailing, or vice versa). The results indicate that only the striate area, in and near the calcarine fissure, shows significant differences for these stimulation conditions. These differences are not evident in more remote extrastriate or associational visual areas, although the BOLD response in the stimulation-rest comparison was robust. These results suggest that the effect could be related to inhibitory interactions across ocular dominance columns in striate visual cortex.

八珍汤对血虚模型小鼠造血调控因子影响的实验研究

探讨八珍汤对由环磷酰胺引起的小鼠骨髓造血功能抑制的调控作用。采用环磷酰胺致小鼠血虚模型 ,测定八珍汤对骨髓抑制小鼠外周血象及其细胞因子产生的影响。结果表明 ,八珍汤对环磷酰胺所致血虚模型小鼠骨髓细胞有促进增殖作用 ;经八珍汤诱导制备的巨噬细胞、脾细胞、肺条件培养液和骨骼肌条件培养液能促进血虚模型小鼠骨髓细胞增殖 ,促进血虚模型小鼠骨髓基质细胞分泌肿瘤坏死因子 (TNF)。八珍汤对环磷酰胺所致化疗损伤的造血调控作用可能与直接或间接刺激造血微环境的基质细胞分泌正性和负性造血生长因子有关。     

全膝关节置换后不放置引流的相关管理策略

背景:近年来,随着全膝关节置换技术提升、手术时间缩短、术中及术后止血药的应用,其总失血量不断减少,术后引流量也逐渐减少,术后快速康复理论应运而生,引流管放置也再次成为骨科医生所热议的问题,越来越多的医生认为可以常规取消放置引流,引流似乎已可有可无。目的:旨在复习既往文献,对全膝关节置换后引流放置的相关问题归纳总结,提供围术期引流管理的相关经验。方法:检索中国知网、万方、维普、中国生物医学文献数据库等中文数据库,以及PubMed、The Cochrane Library、WebofScience、EMBASE、OVID等外文数据库,以"引流,膝关节置换术"及"totalknee arthroplasty,drainage"为检索词,检索自建库始至2020年2月为止所有与主题相关的文献,总结归纳全膝关节置换后不放置引流管围术期各方面需综合考虑的要素。结果与结论:①引流管的放置问题关乎全膝关节置换手术的最终结果,与术后出血、血肿、血栓、感染等并发症的发生关系密切;②目前全膝关节置换术后不推荐常规放置引流,但不意味着不需要管理,其实际上对临床医护在围术期各方面的管理提出更高的要求,包括但不限于术前适应证选择、手术操作、止血带使用、术中及术后药物使用、物理疗法的使用等。     

距骨颈骨折疗效分析

目的探讨距骨颈骨折治疗方案的选择以及疗效相关因素分析。方法距骨颈骨折15例，男13例，女2例。年龄16～63岁，平均40．5岁，合并腰椎、髋臼、跟骨、外踝骨折各1例。开放骨折2例。陈旧性骨折2例（〉1个月）。按Hawkins骨折分类：Ⅰ型3例、Ⅱ型9例、Ⅲ型3例。Ⅰ型骨折采用膝下管型石膏固定，其中1例复诊中因移位行切开复位松质骨螺钉固定。Ⅱ型骨折均行切开复位，克氏针或松质骨螺钉固定。Ⅲ型骨折1例开放性骨折，急诊行清创缝合，手法＋撬拔复位，脱位整复。一周后在C臂机引导下，采用二枚直径4．0mm中空螺钉由后向前固定距骨颈，1例急诊手术切开复位，克氏针内固定。结果本组13例获得随访，时间4～24个月，平均12.3个月。13例中发生距骨体缺血性坏死5例，其中Ⅱ型骨折4例，Ⅲ型骨折1例。另2例未统计在内。1例外院病例术后并发伤口感染长期不愈，行小腿截肢术。1例患者拒绝手术治疗。按Hawkims疗效标准，优4例，良4例，可3例，差2例，优良率69％。结论对无移位的距骨颈骨折，行膝下管型石膏固定6～12周，并定期拍片复查，距骨颈骨折脱位应急诊复位和可靠的内固定。以2枚拉力螺钉内固定为宜，尽量减少并发症。对距骨体缺血性坏死，或创伤性关节炎，则根据患者的实际情况采取相应治疗措施。
