AUGMENTATION OF ANGIOTENSIN II RELEASE FROM ISOLATED MESENTERIC ARTERIES OF WISTAR-KYOTO AND SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RATS FOLLOWING NEPHRECTOMY

1. We previously reported that angiotensin II release from the mesenteric arteries of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) increased in a time-dependent manner as a result of the isolation of the arteries and perfusion. This phenomenon appeared to be due to the withdrawal of circulating angiotensin II (AII). 2. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that vascular AII generation may be negatively regulated by circulating AII in WKY and SHR, and to clarify the role of this vascular angiotensin II in the sustained hypertension of SHR following nephrectomy. 3. The mesenteric arteries from kidney-intact and nephrectomized WKY and SHR were perfused and the amount of AII released into the perfusate was measured. The effects of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, and the effects of supplementation of renal renin and circulating angiotensins to nephrectomized rats, by blood exchange between kidney-intact and nephrectomized rats, on AII release were examined to clarify the pathway of vascular AII generation after nephrectomy. 4. Nephrectomy caused augmentation of vascular AII release both in WKY and SHR in spite of the abolishment of circulating renin. Captopril reduced this enhanced release of AII, but blood exchange did not affect it. There was no significant difference in these responses between WKY and SHR. 5. These results suggest that WKY and SHR have in common a potent pathway for production of vascular AII in response to the withdrawal of circulating AII, although this pathway is not responsible for the sustained hypertension of SHR after nephrectomy. The precise pathophysiological role of this pathway remains to be elucidated.     

Observation on 108 Normal Ophthalmic Arteries in 80 Patients by Digital Subtraction Angiography

By digital subtraction angiography(DSA), the authors made observations on 108 normal ophthalmic arteries in 80 patients with regard to the origins, courses, branching, morphology and anastomoses of the vessels. The merits and demerits of DSA in observing the ophthalmic artery were discussed. Eye Science 1994; 10: 157- 162.     

氟对人体T细胞数目的影响及硼砂拮抗作用的观察

将３８例地氟病人分为硼砂治疗组和治疗对照组，通过对病人外周血Ｔ淋巴细胞亚群含量的检测，观察了氟对人体Ｔ３、Ｔ４、Ｔ８淋巴细胞含量的影响以及硼砂的拮抗作用。结果表明，在本研究条件下，地氟病人外周血Ｔ３、Ｔ４淋巴细胞数目明显减少，硼砂对此变化无明显的拮抗作用。     

汽车驾驶员心电多相频谱分析

对１１７例汽车司机应用ＨＢＤ－１心电多信息诊断仪进行心电多相频谱分析，其功率谱，传递相移，幅度直方图等五项指标总分阳性率明显高于对照组，随着驾车年限的增加，总分阳性率有升高趋势，心电频谱分析对２３０例冠心病病人阳性检出率８４．７８％。研究认为汽车司机是易发高血压，冠心病的危险人群，该方法在冠心病的环境流行病学研究中具有重要的临床，亚临床意义。

An analytical framework of physician productivity and variation in utilization.

The utilization of medical services by patients is an important determinant of doctor productivity, but this factor does not appear to have been given much attention in previous studies. In order to answer the question of why is there a wide variation in doctor output at low level medical facilities in China, an analytical framework of doctor productivity and utilization is developed. The simulation model is used to produce data that can be analyzed by such a framework. Great uncertainty about patient flows is one reason for the average lower and varying doctor productivity in lower level health facilities. Until uncertainty can be reduced, more flexibility is needed at the lower level to cope with changing utilization patterns and patient characteristics. The management by doctors of non-patient care activities (preventive programmes, medical research, teaching, and administration) is crucial to any approach to using doctor resources more effectively and efficiently.     

Effect of cholestyramine on the formation of pigment gallstone in high carbohydrate diet-fed hamsters.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of cholestyramine on the formation of pigment gallstones in high carbohydrate diet-fed hamsters and whether that effect occurred because of cholecystokinin action. Forty seven hamsters were divided into three groups: group I(n = 16) was fed on normal rodent chow(43% carbohydrate), group II(n = 14) was fed on a high CHO diet(65% carbohydrate), group III(n = 17) was fed on a high CHO diet containing 4% cholestyramine. Gallstones developed in 0% of group I, 42.9% of group II and 5.9% of group III(P < 0.05, group II vs III). To evaluate the chronic status of cholecystokinin level, the wet weight of pancreas and the average area of pancreatic acinar in microscopic high power field were measured. There was no significant difference between group II and group III in pancreatic weight and average area of pancreatic acinar(P > 0.05). In gallbladder bile analysis, there was also no significant difference between group II and group III in cholesterol, phospholipid, total calcium, total bilirubin and bile acid levels. In conclusion, cholestyramine decreases the frequency of pigment gallstone formation in high CHO diet-fed hamsters, but it is not clear whether the mechanism of cholestyramine decreasing the gallstone formation is due to the action of cholecystokinin.

传统腺样体切除术后腺样体残留情况调查

体统的腺样体手术为腺样体刮除术，为非直视下的手术，虽然多数患者手术后症状得得缓解，但临床上也常常看到手术后短时间内症状复发或者缓解不彻底的患儿，这类情况往往和腺样体手术切除不彻底有关。本院自2003年1月-2004年9月间对腺样体切除术后复发再次手术患者，以鼻内镜观察记录腺样体残留情况，对初次手术患者在进行传统腺样体刮除术并止血后，立即进行鼻内镜检查，了解腺样体残留情况并进行鼻内镜下处理，报告如下。
