目的评估体外循环主动脉阻断期间应用含氧血持续肺动脉灌注对肺功能的保护作用.方法选择杂种上海犬(上海农科院犬养殖厂)12只,体重7～12 kg.随机分成应用含氧血持续肺动脉灌注的实验组和对照组,分别测定体外循环前、结束即刻、结束后1 h的肺功能,体外循环术后2组左、右心房内血白细胞记数以及肺水含量的变化.体外循环转流前、后分别在右肺门处随机切取肺组织(3 cm×3 cm大小)送病理检查.结果术后实验组的肺功能明显改善,左、右心房血白细胞记数差异无显著性,肺水含量与对照组比较差异无显著意义.对照组显示肺泡间质明显水肿,肺泡内大量的中性粒细胞渗出,实验组保留了正常的肺组织结构.结论含氧血持续肺动脉灌注可减轻主动脉阻断期间肺组损伤,保护术后肺功能.     

The value of myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography in screening asymptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation for coronary artery disease.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine if screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) with stress single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is of value in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who do not have symptoms of chest pain or dyspnea. BACKGROUND: Although noninvasive stress testing is often done to screen for CAD in asymptomatic patients with AF and is considered to be appropriate in selected patients, its potential utility has not been demonstrated. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of 374 asymptomatic patients with AF referred for the detection of CAD. Mean follow-up was 5.7 +/- 3.8 years. The study group was compared with a control group of 374 asymptomatic age and gender-matched patients without AF. RESULTS: The mean summed stress score (SSS) was not significantly different between AF patients and control subjects (3.6 +/- 5.3 vs. 3.5 +/- 5.9; p = 0.35). Compared with controls, asymptomatic AF patients had similar rates of abnormal SPECT studies (51.6% vs. 48.4%; p = 0.38) and high-risk studies (14.4% vs. 14.4%; p = 1.0). The SSS was a significant predictor of outcome in both AF patients and control subjects. However, total mortality was significantly greater in AF patients (5-year overall mortality 27% vs. 18%, 10-year overall mortality 47% vs. 40%; p < 0.001), and this difference persisted (p = 0.01) after adjusting for multiple clinical variables and the SSS. CONCLUSIONS: Screening for CAD using stress SPECT in asymptomatic AF patients has a yield similar to age- and gender-matched control patients without AF. Although SSS predicts mortality in patients with and without AF, patients with AF have increased total mortality independent of the findings on stress SPECT. These results suggest that factors other than obstructive CAD are responsible for the increased mortality in AF.     

大鼠体外循环模型的建立与应用

由于操作简便、节省人力物力，大鼠体外循环模型的应用愈加广泛。大鼠在小型呼吸机辅助下，应用颈静脉插管入右心房引流血液至贮血瓶，在蠕动移液泵作用下，经膜式氧合器氧合、变温器变温，通过股动脉或尾动脉插管注入动脉系统，建立体外循环回路。有血预充、减少总预充量和维持足够的转流流量是建立大鼠体外循环模型的关键。

Risk indicators for third molar caries and periodontal disease in senior adults.

PURPOSE: This study was designed to identify risk indicators for the prevalence at enrollment and incidence over 36 months of periodontal pathology and coronal caries experience affecting third molars in a community-based study of people over 65 years of age. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Data from a subsample of 810 dentate subjects from the Piedmont 65+ Study were available for analyses. All visible teeth were examined. Periodontal probing measures were taken at 2 sites, mesiobuccal and buccal/facial. Clinical data on caries experience were collected by visual-tactile examination. At enrollment, 340 subjects had at least 1 visible third molar; all were examined for caries experience. Periodontal probing measures were available for 277 of these same subjects. The significance of the possible risk indicators for periodontal pathology and caries affecting third molars was determined by chi(2) tests. Statistical significance was set at .05. Logistic multivariable models were used to derive odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: African-American subjects were more likely to have visible third molars (P < .01). Caucasian subjects were more likely to have third molar coronal caries experience (P < .01), as were subjects with greater than a high school education and those with a dental visit within 3 years (both P < .01). However, African American subjects were more likely to have periodontal pathology, CALs >/= 3 mm on third molars (P < .01), as were those who used tobacco (P < .01). None of the other risk indicators we studied were associated with progression of periodontal pathology or coronal caries experience on visible third molars. CONCLUSION: In this population study of senior adults, Caucasians and African Americans appear to have different levels of risk for caries experience and periodontal pathology affecting retained third molars.

PCR-SSO typing for DR4-Dw subtypes: application to unrelated bone marrow transplant donor selection

Thirty-seven DR4-positive patient-unrelated bone marrow donor pairs previously DR/DQ restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typed and tested in mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC), have been DR4-Dw subtyped retrospectively using sequence specific oligonucleotide probes. We found that DR4-Dw subtyping substantially increased the accuracy of pre-MLC matching and could potentially accelerate donor searches by avoiding unnecessary MLC tests on Dw-mismatched donors.     

Migration and schizophrenia: an examination of five hypotheses

Summary Data are presented on rates of admission for schizophrenia for the native born and the four largest foreign born populations living in England in 1981 (Irish, Indian, Pakistani and Caribbean born). These data show that, in general, the foreign born have higher rates of admission for schizophrenia, and a higher proportion of all diagnoses accounted for by this disorder than do the native born. The exception is Pakistani born women who have conspicuously low rates. Five hypotheses are examined to account for these differences. The apparently high rates of schizophrenia found for the Indian born of both sexes, and Pakistani born men can be accounted for to a large extent by the demographic differences that exist between them and the native born. The Irish born residents of England have rates comparable with the Irish in Ireland who also show much higher rates than do the native English. There is no completely satisfactory account for the very high rates found for Caribbean born men and women but a combination of adverse post migration experiences and tendency to misdiagnose schizophrenia in this group is offered as a tentative explanation for at least some of the excess. The low rates of admission for schizophrenia of Pakistani women is attributed to a tendency on their part to opt out of the formal mental health system after an initial encounter, possibly to return to their native land.
