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.

Educating the Public About Stroke

Acute stroke affects large numbers of people worldwide. It causes significant morbidity and mortality. Data support the hypothesis that the public is not familiar with either the risk factors or the signs of stroke. Educating the public about stroke may result in a lower incidence of the disease as individuals modify their risk factors, and in improved outcomes as a result of reductions in delays to treatment. There is clear and convincing evidence that reducing delays to treatment of patients with acute stroke results in improved outcomes. Public education programs should be broad-based, tailored to individual audiences, and carry a common theme.     

Recurrent locking of knee joint caused by intraarticular migration of bioabsorbable tibial interference screw after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction

Two cases are reported in which, after ACL reconstruction with autologous hamstring grafts, tibial polylactide interference screws migrated into the knee joint. Clinically, both patients presented with recurrent locking of the joint. In one case, a broken 15 mm-long tip of the screw was found intra-articularly. In the other case, the whole screw had migrated into the joint cavity. The degradation process of polylactic acid, operative technique and bone quality are discussed as possible reasons for these complications.     

获得性纯红再障患者外周血T细胞亚群分析

目的　本研究通过分析获得性纯红再障患者外周血T细胞亚群 ,进一步探讨该病的细胞免疫发病机制。方法　用抗人CD3、CD4、CD8、IFN γ及IL 4单抗结合人外周血单个核细胞 ,流式细胞术分析单个核细胞中CD3 +、CD4+、CD8+细胞数Th1、Th2、Tc1、Tc2细胞数以及CD4+/CD8+、Th1/Th2、Tc1/Tc2比值。结果　贫血组患者 ,外周血CD3 +细胞和CD8+细胞明显增加 (P <0 .0 1) ,CD4+/CD8+比例倒置 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;Tc2细胞明显增加 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,Tc1/Tc2比值降低(P <0 .0 5 ) ,治疗后血象恢复的患者各增高的亚群细胞均有所恢复 ,接近正常。结论　在获得性纯红再障患者T细胞明显增高 ,其中主要是CD8+细胞 ,而在CD8+细胞中 ,是Tc2细胞发挥了重要作用。经治疗有效的患者 ,其增高的T细胞亚群降低 ,提示以纠正病人细胞免疫异常为主的治疗方案有益于获得性纯红再障的治疗。
