川芎嗪和维拉帕米对缺血性急性肾衰初期保护效应的实验研究

１８只犬切除右肾，钳夹左肾动脉６０分的肾缺血模型，再灌注５小时。将动物随机分成对照组、川芎嗪组及维拉帕米组。观察尿量、菊糖清除率、利钠指数、平均动脉压及心率；再灌注５小时取肾组织作形态学检查。结果显示川芎嗪对肾功能及形态有保护作用，维拉帕米则无此作用，提示在手术中有肾缺血时以川芎嗪作为肾保护药物优于维拉帕米。     

Functional changes of myocardial contraction and relaxation in hypertension patients as affected by reflexotherapy

49 patients with initial stages of essential hypertension (EH) were investigated using phase systole analysis and echocardiography during acupuncture (reflexotherapy) treatment. It was established that even at the initial stages of EH increasing of myocardial mass and the disturbances of contractile and diastolic activity of myocardium take place. As a result of acupuncture a stable hypotensive effect, improvement or normalization of contractile function and diastolic values, a decrease of energy loss, reversal of myocardial hypertrophy were achieved. It is the decrease of sympathetic influences on the circulation system that plays an important part in the onset of these positive changes.     

Determinants of elderly residential mobility in Southern China: Exploration and implications

It is a widely accepted observation that many older Hong Kong residents have lived periodically on the Chinese mainland since the relaxation of restrictions on cross-border mobility and the closer connection between Hong Kong and the mainland. This paper explores and compares the determinants of various modes of residential mobility by Hong Kong retirees to the Pearl River Delta based on the data of two samples—one from Hong Kong and the other from the mainland. The findings support those of studies in Western societies that the decision of elderly residential mobility can be effectively predicted by the personal attributes, place ties, and person ties of the retirees, and that the effects of these factors vary with different modes of retiree mobility. The implications of these findings for the formulation of migration and housing policies for the older population and the economic development of amenity communities are discussed. He is also a Research Associate at the Joint Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement in Toronto, Canada. His research interests are elderly residential mobility, gerontology and geriatrics education, and the help-seeking behavior of older people. Dr. Ma’s latest study concerns the utilization and accessibility of human services for older residents in Hong Kong. He is also a reviewer of several international journals. Dr. Chow’s research interests are social security policies and practice, social policies and services for older people, and family support. The focus of his latest research project is the service needs of new immigrants to Hong Kong.     

Triploid origin of the gibel carp as revealed by 5S rDNA localization and chromosome painting

5S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was isolated and sequenced from the gibel carp Carassius auratus gibelio with 162 chromosomes and crucian carp Carassius auratus with 100 chromosomes, and fluorescent probes for chromosome localization were prepared to ascertain the ploidy origin and evolutionary relationship between the two species. Using fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), major 5S rDNA signals were localized to the short arms of three subtelocentric chromosomes in the gibel carp and to the short arms of two subtelocentrics in the crucian carp. In addition, some minor signals were detected on other chromosomes of both species. Simultaneously, six chromosomes were microdissected from the gibel carp metaphase spreads using glass needles, and the isolated chromosomes were amplified in vitro by degenerate oligonucleotide primed-polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR). Significantly, when the DOP-PCR-generated probes prepared from each single chromosome were hybridized, three same-sized chromosomes were painted in each gibel carp metaphase, whereas only two painted chromosomes were observed in each crucian carp metaphase spread. The data indicate that gibel carp is of triploid origin in comparison with diploid crucian carp.     

中国古代的男性生殖崇拜

当男性在社会生产中的地位日趋重要，并且人们开始将生殖与男性相联系时，男阴便受到崇拜，古人常以鸟作为男性生殖器的像征，这或许是因为鸟头和颈具有与男性生殖器有相似的伸缩功能的缘故，     

新疆哈萨克族常用食品对离体动物细胞染色体的损伤作用

本文报道以叙利亚地鼠胚胎(SHE)细胞和Wistar大鼠胚胎(WRE)细胞为靶细胞,运用体外姊妹染色单体交换试验、染色体畸变分析试验和微核试验检测哈萨克族(哈族)常用食品——烟熏肉和酸奶疙瘩对染色体的损伤作用。结果显示,烟熏肉和霉变酸奶疙瘩提取物均可明显增加SHE细胞姊妹染色单体交换频率和微核率,霉变酸奶疙瘩提取物亦可以使WRE细胞微核率显著升高(P<0.05);烟熏肉提取物还可明显诱导SHE细胞染色体畸变(P<0.05)。提示烟熏肉、霉变酸奶疙瘩中含有诱发动物细胞DNA损伤的致突变物质。     

血清白细胞介素－2受体的测定在脑血管性痴呆诊治中意义的探讨

目的 :检测脑血管性痴呆患者血清中可溶性白细胞介素 - 2 (s IL- 2 R)水平 ,评价 s IL- 2 R的测定在诊治脑血管性痴呆中的价值。方法 :采用双抗体夹心的 EL ISA法检测脑血管性痴呆患者血清中 s IL- 2 R的水平。结果 :脑血管性痴呆患者血清中的 s IL- 2 R水平较健康对照组显著增高 ,两组比较差异非常显著 (P <0 .0 1)。结论 :检测脑血管性痴呆患者血清中 s IL- 2 R水平 ,有助于了解患者的免疫功能变化及疗效观察     

Rectus sheath haematoma requiring laparotomy

Rectus sheath haematoma is a well‐documented but unusual cause of acute abdomen. Combination of clinical features and appropriate radiological investigations can make for a prompt diagnosis. Most authors advocate conservative management and it has been reported that patients were directly discharged from the emergency department. We report a case of rectus sheath haematoma which progressed with clinical deterioration and necessitated surgical intervention for clot evacuation. Causes, physical signs, radiological features and classification of rectus sheath haematoma are discussed. It may be necessary to continue close clinical monitoring after diagnosis of rectus sheath haematoma.     

单纯2型糖尿病患者的风险分层：对冠状动脉钙化成像联合选择性心肌灌注成像的前瞻性评价
