Visualization of patent foramen ovale by biplanar transesophageal echocardiography

Summary It is difficult for conventional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), by which precise and accurate images of interatrial septum (IAS) can not be acquired, to diagnose patent foramen ovale (PFO) clearly. To evaluate the diagnostic value of biplanar transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for PFO, TTE and biplanar TEE were performed simultaneously in 270 patients. It was found that in 7 patients patent foramen ovale was detected only through longitudinal planes of biplanar TEE. IAS, which consists of primitive septum and membrane of fossa ovalis, can be directly visualized by two-dimensional images of TEE; in patients with PFO, a dull color flow, which shunts from the right atria to the left atria through the gap between primitive septum and fossa ovalis, can be detected by color Doppler flow images. Furthermore, some right-to-left shunting microbubbles through the valve of patent fossa ovalis can be discovered by cardiac acoustic contrast echocardiography. In conclusion, biplanar TEE combined with color Doppler image and cardiac acoustic contrast facilitates a definite diagnosis of patent foramen ovale as the excellent anatomic images of IAS can be obtained from multiple views under this kind of performance.     

猪心肌球蛋白及其轻,重链亚基的纯化和鉴定

采用一种改进的方法，从１００ｇ猪心室肌中提取心肌肌球蛋白３７０ｍｇ，并进一步分离和纯化其亚基成分，分别得到肌球蛋白轻链２４ｍｇ和重链２１０ｍｇ，核酸含量＜１％，不含有肌动蛋白、原肌球蛋白、肌钙蛋白及其它杂蛋白；ＳＤＳＰＡＧＥ显示，猪心肌球蛋白重链为２００～２２０ＫＤ一条带，肌球蛋白轻链则为２７ｋｄ、２１．４ｋｄ、１９ｋｄ三条带；纯化猪心肌球蛋白的Ｃａ２＋激活ＡＴＰ酶活性为０．２４μｍｏｌＰｉ／（ｍｇ·ｍｉｎ），但其分离后的亚基则无此活性。     

某部队急性腹泻病监测报告 Ⅰ.流行病学部分

１９９１年６月～１９９２年５月在驻粤某部队进行了急性腹泻病的主动监测。年发病率为０．６４～１．０次／人／年。发病率与相对湿度（Ｘ２）、气温（Ｘ３），特别是雨量（Ｘ１）的关系经多元回归分析表明呈正相关。ｙ＝１．９８＋０．０２ｘ１＋０．０２ｘ２＋０．０７ｘ３，ｒ＝０．８７２７，Ｐ＜０．０１。病例－对照研究结果提示，饭前、便后不洗手等生活习惯用腹泻发病有密切关系。２６．３％的患者有淋雨、腹部受凉或感冒等     

卵巢浆液性囊腺癌的CT诊断（附三例报告）

作者报告了三例经手术病理证实的卵巢浆液性囊腺癌的临床及CT表现，分析了其中2例经化疗后转移的CT特点，CT主要表现为：（1）盆腔内囊实性肿块，部分肿块内有钙化；（2）肉膜饼状转移。（3）脏器的浆膜及系膜播散；（4）钙化性转移，CT对本病的诊断与分期均优于临床检查。

对３３例完全性大动脉转位施行了手术治疗，其中全腔静脉肺动脉连接３例、改良Ｆｏｎｔａｎ手术２例、Ｍｕｓｔａｒｄ及大动脉调转术各１例，Ｒａｓｔｅｌｉ手术２６例，包括１５例心内隧道和心外管道，１１例心内、外双管道。这２６例心外管道中，除４例采用同种主动脉管道外，其余为经处理的猪肺动脉人工管道。全组手术死亡１０例，晚期死亡１例。结论：完全性大动脉转位病理解剖变异性大，应按不同类型的病理解剖特征选择手术方法     

Basic fibroblast growth factor enhances bone-graft incorporation: Dose and time dependence in rats

In a previous study, we found that basic fibroblast growth factor could stimulate bone-graft incorporation. In the present study, the effects of different doses and implantation times were further studied, using the bone conduction chamber, in rats. Inside the chamber, the graft is isolated from the surrounding tissues except at one end, where small openings embedded in host bone allow ingrowth of tissue. The distance that new tissues had reached from the openings into the graft was measured on histological slides. Bone grafts were obtained from the proximal tibiae of donor rats, frozen at ?70°C, and lipid-extracted. Before implantation, they were soaked overnight in a hyaluronate gel with or without basic fibroblast growth factor and then were fitted into the chambers, which were implanted in the proximal tibiae of recipient rats. In a doseresponse experiment, grafts containing 0.3, 8, 40, 200, or 1,000 ng of basic fibroblast growth factor were compared with grafts treated with carrier gel only, after an implantation time of 6 weeks. Fibrous tissue always penetrated the grafts further than the ingrown bone; the distance that it reached from the ingrowth openings (total ingrowth distance) was increased by all of the doses except 0.3 ng per implant. The distance of bone ingrowth was increased by 8, 40, and 200 ng. The increased total ingrowth with 1,000 ng was due to an increased amount of fibrous tissue ahead of the bone, whereas with the lower doses the increase was due to more bone. Thus, the dose had an effect on the type of ingrown tissue found in the graft. In a time-effect study, grafts treated with 40 ng of basic fibroblast growth factor had a higher uptake of [^99mTc]MDP at 2 and 4 weeks and an increased bone ingrowth distance at 10 weeks. The radioactivity from [¹²⁵I]basic fibroblast growth factor declined with a half-life of 17 hours. The results suggest that basic fibroblast growth factor may be beneficial for the incorporation of contained bone grafts; studies using more clinically relevant models are required.
