An etiological and clinicopathological study of early syphilis in oropharynx]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of the early stage treponema pallidum infected tissue in ear, nose, oropharynx and larynx and to raise relevance ratio of syphilis in nose and oropharynx and enhance doctor's self-protection awareness. METHODS: The histopathologic characteristics were studied by using HE staining, Warthin-Starry (W-S) staining was adopted to examine the treponema pallidum(TP) in lesion issue and its exudates smear for 12 cases biopsy tissues of suspicious syphilis. The diagnosis was confirmed by venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), rapid plasma reagin circle test(RPR), treponema pallidum hemagglutination test(TPHA) and fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test (FTA-ABS). Treat with curing syphilis methods which published by nation. RESULTS: In the 12 cases mucous membrane specimen, the squamous epithelium proliferated, neutrophilic granulocyte infiltrated, within inherent membrane generous plasmacyte and lymphocyte infiltrated. W-S staining: plenty of treponema pallidum were found inside mucous membrane epithelium and exudate smear. Serology examination: 11 cases VDRL(++++), 7 cases RPR (+), 11 cases TPHA(+), 1 case FTA-ABS(+). After systemic treatment, 11 cases are clinically recovered. All patients serology become negative. CONCLUSION: W-S staining method can directly demonstrate histopathologic characteristics in early syphilis, in intrinsic membrane numerous plasmacyte infiltration. Combining with specific syphilis serology examination could increase diagnosis rate of syphilis in nose and oropharynx.

穿琥宁粉针雾化吸入治疗小儿呼吸道病毒感染疗效观察

小儿呼吸道感染是小儿科最常见的疾病，以咽炎、扁桃体炎、气管炎和肺炎多见。病原体以病毒感染为主。未经治疗有诱发心肌炎、脑炎的可能，应积极进行有效治疗。我们自2004年6月至12月应用注射用穿琥宁冻干粉剂雾化吸入治疗小儿呼吸道病毒感染58例，取得满意效果，现总结报告如下：     

多层螺旋CT胸部低剂量扫描对气道三维重建的应用研究

目的:比较低剂量与常规剂量条件下中央气道三维重建图像的差别,探讨低剂量螺旋CT扫描进行中央气道三维重建的可行性。材料和方法:32例病例行低剂量(50mAs)平扫及常规剂量(195mAs)平扫(1例)及增强扫描(31例),将两组原始数据分别普通算法及高分辨算法重叠重建出4组横断面图像,并进行气道SSD及VR重建,由两名放射科医师分析4组图像的质量、支气管显示情况、支气管病变检出情况,将结果进行统计学分析。结果:①图像质量:两组剂量间SSD图像质量无明显差异,高分辨重建图像质量≥普通算法重建图像质量;VR图像质量两种剂量之间无明显差异,高分辨算法图像质量≥标准算法重建图像质量。②支气管显示:两名医生评价结果均表明对段以上支气管显示方面无论SSD图像还是VR图像,低剂量与常规剂量组以及两种算法图像之间均无明显差异。③病变检出:无论SSD还是VR图像4组图像对支气管病变的检出无差异。④剂量差别:低剂量扫描比常规剂量扫描辐射剂量大大降低(13.6～3.6mGy)。结论:与常规剂量扫描相比,低剂量薄层扫描气道三维重建图像质量、对中央气道显示及病变检出都无明显差异,而病人接受的辐射剂量却大大降低,因此低剂量薄层扫描气道三维重建可以代替常规剂量重建图像应用于临床气道病变显示。

Lymphoid Neogenesis in Murine Cardiac Allografts Undergoing Chronic Rejection

Lymphoid neogenesis is the process by which ectopic lymphoid accumulations that resemble lymph nodes arise in nonlymphoid tissues. Such lymphoid accumulations, known as tertiary lymphoid organs (TLO), are observed in chronic autoimmunity and they propagate immune pathology by setting up local antigen presenting sites. Whether lymphoid neogenesis occurs in transplanted organs and contributes to rejection is not well understood. To begin to address this question, we retrospectively analyzed 319 murine cardiac allografts for microscopic evidence of lymph-node-like structures. We found 78 allografts that had either classical TLO, characterized by discrete T- and B-cell zones and high endothelial venules (HEV) expressing peripheral node addressin (PNAd) (n = 34), or PNAd(+) HEV without organized lymphoid accumulations (n = 44). These changes were present in both short- and long-lived allografts and were invariably associated with rejection. Importantly, they occurred in 78% of allografts undergoing chronic rejection (n = 85) but in only 7% of allografts undergoing primarily acute rejection (n = 184). These findings indicate that, like autoimmunity, alloimmunity is associated with lymphoid neogenesis in the target organ and suggest a role for local T-cell activation in chronic allograft rejection.     

A simple and inexpensive particle agglutination test to distinguish recent from established HIV-1 infection.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to modify the Serodia HIV-1/HIV-2 particle agglutination assay (PA), a simple and cost-effective HIV assay that is used globally for the detection of HIV antibodies, as a sensitive/less sensitive test (S/LS) to identify recently infected individuals and to estimate HIV incidence. METHODS: The Serodia PA test was modified as an S/LS test (PA-LS) by using HIV antigen-coated gelatin particles at a dilution of 1:68 and a specific diluent, and calibrated using 37 HIV clade B seroconversion panels (309 samples) from Trinidad and from a commercial source that were tested at dilution intervals from 1:10 to 1:80,000. The greatest sensitivity for correctly classifying samples from recent and established infections was determined by receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis. RESULTS: At a 1:40,000 sample dilution and a days post-seroconversion cutoff of 190 days, the PA-LS test yielded a 97% sensitivity for classifying recent and established infection samples. Furthermore, at a 1:20,000 dilution, the positive predictive value for correctly identifying recently infected individuals was 99%. The PA-LS test offers a 30-44-fold cost saving over currently available S/LS tests. CONCLUSION: A modified, low cost and simple-to-perform PA test is appropriate for use in resource-limited countries, and has exhibited excellence in distinguishing recent from established HIV infection.     

面神经评分标准

Sunnybrook（多伦多）面神经评定系统是近年来发展起来的一种新的面神经功能主观评定系统[1,2],得到了很多学的认可,在2005年9月在荷兰召开的国际面神经大会上,有近1/4的论用到了这一评分标准;而国内学们很少使用此标准,所以有必要向国内的同道作一介绍.
