嗜铬细胞瘤患者围手术期处理的改进

目的：探讨提高嗜铬细胞瘤患者围手术期安全性的措施。方法：对15例嗜铬细胞瘤患者、术前采用选择性α1受体阻滞剂多沙唑嗪控释片(可多华)控制高血压；11例患者采用3D DCEMRA进行肿瘤定位；术中均采用联合高容量血液稀释(AHH)和术中患者自体血回输纠正血容量。结果：除1例持续性高血压患者需联合钙离子拮抗剂和ACEI药物降压外．其余患者血压控制均为满意；根据3D DCEMRA定位选择手术径路者均顺利完成手术；AHH联合术中自体血回输使14例患者避免了异体输血。结论：本文围手术期处理改进．可多华可明显减少药物的不良反应；采用3D DCEMRA进行肿瘤定位，可增加手术安全性；AHH联合术中自体血回输可减少医疗成本和异体输血，以及由此而引起的并发症。     

Sexual sequelae of antihypertensive drugs: Treatment effects on self-report and physiological measures in middle-aged male hypertensives

Antihypertensive drugs are commonly associated with adverse side effects in both clinical and laboratory studies. We investigated the sexual sequelae of several major classes of antihypertensive drugs (e.g., beta blockers, central alpha agonists, diuretics) in normal males and in hypertensive patients. We compared the effects of four widely used agents (methyldopa, propranolol, atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide-triamterene) and placebo, in a selected sample of 21 sexually dysfunctional male hypertensives, 13 of whom completed all five phases of the study. Each study drug was administered for a 1-month treatment period, followed by a 2-week, single-blind washout phase, according to a randomized, Latin square crossover design. Dependent variables for the study included a broad range of hormonal, NPT, and self-report measures of sexual response. Results indicated a lack of consistent drug effects on measures of sexual response, although more frequent sexual and nonsexual side effects were observed with methyldopa and propranolol. As in our previous studies, age was negatively correlated with both hormonal and NPT measures, whereas changes in blood pressure were not significantly related to sexual function scores. Results do not support the hypothesis that sexually dysfunctional males are at greater risk for adverse sexual sequelae when treated with centrally active agents or diuretics.     

磁疗及特定电磁波促进小儿肺功能恢复78例

Background: Under magnetic field,magnetic therapy can enhance resistance of biological individual,regulate qi and blood,improve local blood circulation and tissue permeability,promote absorption and removal of exudates,strengthen non specific immunity,activate phagocytosis ability of white cells and hence resist inflammation.TDP affect blood dynamics and thereby improving local blood circulation and metabolism and tissue regeneration,tissue nutrition,enhance immune function,promote tissue and cell metabolism and repair through its thermal effect.     

Horizontal cell axon terminals in growing goldfish

In the retina of teleost fish, cone horizontal cell axons penetrate the inner nuclear layer, where they enlarge into fusiform terminal swellings. The present study shows that horizontal cell axon terminals enlarge disproportionately during postembryonic growth of the retina in juvenile and adult goldfish: the relative volume of axon terminals increases almost 20-fold, while the volume of the entire retina increases only about fourfold during a 2-3-yr period. The enlarging axon terminals fill in the gaps created as the numerical density of nuclei in the inner nuclear layer falls. Horizontal cell axon terminals are thought to participate in cone-dominated visual pathways, although their precise role is unclear. The results of this study suggest that a comparison of horizontal cell function in small and large fish might help to resolve this issue.     

Role of nuclear cardiology for determining management of patients with stable coronary artery disease

Both radionuclide angiography and myocardial perfusion imaging provide important insights that determine the management of patients with stable coronary artery disease. Both nuclear cardiology procedures have clearly demonstrated use in the noninvasvie identification of severe (left main or three-vessel) coronary artery disease and the noninvasive assessment of prognosis and thereby determine which patients should be sent to coronary angiography. Both radionuclide angiography and myocardial perfusion imaging provide prognostic information that is independent of resting left ventricular function and coronary anatomy and thereby influence the decision regarding which patients should be sent to coronary revascularization. This review considers the evidence supporting the uses of these nuclear cardiology procedures and provides suggestions regarding their cost-effective application.     

正常人及大鼠心脏内皮素转换酶的分布

目的:了解正常人和大鼠心脏各部分内皮素转换酶(Endothelin-conveerting en-zyme,ECE)的分布。方法:采用半定量RT-PCR法检测ECE mRNA表达,同时根据外源性的巨内皮素-1转变为内皮素-1的量判定ECE活性。结果:正常人心脏各部位心肌均存在ECE,ECEmRNA表达和活性的分布特点一致:心房显著高于心室,左、右心房间及左、右心室和室间隔间无显著性差异。大鼠的ECE mRNA表达和活性分布规律与人相似。结论:正常人和大鼠心脏各组分均存在ECE,且两者的分布规律相似。
