为改善技术论证的定量程度，作者用层析法对Ｘ－ＣＴ的选型操作进行了研究，并提出此方法可推广应用于一般医院的大型装备。     

偏头痛患儿的大脑血流动力学变化

目的　研究偏头痛患儿的脑动脉血流动力学改变 ,探讨其在小儿偏头痛发生中的作用。方法　应用经颅多普勒 (TCD)技术 ,检测 90例 7～ 14岁头痛间歇期的偏头痛患儿和 80例健康同龄儿童脑动脉血管血流动力学指标。结果　 90例偏头痛患儿中脑动脉血流动力学异常者 77例 (86 % ) ,其中 6 0例 (6 7% )流速增快 ,9例 (10 % )减慢 ,与对照组相比 ,差异具有显著性 (P <0 0 1) ;90例中 2 3例 (2 6 % )存在双侧同名动脉血流速度不对称 ,其中伴有血流速度异常者15例 ,血流速度正常者 8例 ,差异具有显著性 (P <0 0 1)。结论　脑动脉血流动力学因素异常改变 ,在小儿偏头痛的发生中具有重要作用。尤其值得注意的是 ,双侧同名动脉流速不对称的改变 ,在小儿偏头痛的发生中同样可能起着重要的作用。     

两种不同血管紧张素ⅡⅠ型受体拮抗剂治疗轻中度原发性高血压的临床研究

目的:探讨缬沙坦和氯沙坦治疗轻中度原发性高血压的临床疗效及安全性。方法:117例轻中度原发性高血压患者随机分为两组,缬沙坦(治疗)组59例,80～160mg/d,口服,疗程半年;氯沙坦(对照)组58例,50～100mg/d,口服,疗程半年。治疗前后测偶测血压、动态血压、肝肾功能、血脂、血糖、血尿酸,血浆肾素活性(PRA)、血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)醛固酮(ALd)、内皮素(ET)等,并观察心脑事件发生情况。结果:治疗组总有效率74.6％(44/59例),降压幅度26.2/15.1mmHg,谷/峰(T/P)比值:收缩压(SBP)0.28、舒张压(DBP)0.78,与对照组总有效率74.1％(43/58例),降压幅度25.9/15.8mmHg,T/P比值:SBP 0.81、DBP 0.79均相似(P均>0.05)。两组治疗后PRA、AngⅡ均升高(P均<0.05);Ald、ET均降低(P均<0.05),但组间对照无显著性差异(P>0.05)。血尿酸也明显下降(P均<0.05),且基础值越高,降幅越大,对于治疗前高尿酸血症患者,对照组降压大于治疗组(P<0.05)。半年随访,两组心脑血管事件发生率相似(P>0.05),治疗组不良么应轻微。结论:缬沙坦是一种安全、作用持久、稳定、耐受性好、用药方便的治疗轻中度原发性高血压的新型AngⅡⅠ型受(AT1)拮抗药物之一,值得临床推广应用。     

Toll- like receptor 2 polymorphism and IL-6 profile in relation to disease progression in chronic HBV infection: a case control study in Egyptian patients

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) has a wide range of outcomes depending on host immune responses mainly Toll-like receptors (TLRs) signaling and released cytokines. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) may influence the course of CHB. We aimed to elucidate the relation between TLR-2 polymorphism, IL-6 profile, and CHB progression. We analyzed TLR-2 polymorphism (SNP; rs3804099) in 185 CHB patients and 60 controls using TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Serum IL-6 levels were assessed by ELISA. IL-6 levels were considerably higher in active CHB and cirrhotic patients compared with inactive carriers and controls (P < 0.001). IL-6 showed positive correlation with ALT and advanced fibrosis in active CHB patients (r = 0.31, P = 0.02). A significant positive correlation was noticed between IL-6 and HBV DNA PCR in all CHB groups. TT genotype of rs3804099/TLR-2 was significantly more prevalent in inactive carriers compared to active hepatitis patients (P = 0.04, OR = 0.39 and 95% CI: 0.16–0.95). Both heterozygous CT and mutant TT genotypes were significantly more frequent among inactive carriers compared to cirrhotic patients (P = 0.01, OR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13–0.81 and P = 0.009, OR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13–0.77). TT genotype was significantly related to lower IL-6 levels in active hepatitis and cirrhotic groups (P = 0.005 and P = 0.001, respectively) showing that TLR mutations would be associated with milder hepatitis activity and lower possibility for disease progression. There may be a positive association between TLR2 rs3804099 polymorphism and hepatitis B activity. IL-6 is a good indicator of CHB disease progression.
