《金匮要略》痈脓辨治探讨

回顾《内经》相关理论，指出痈脓病机关键在于气血凝滞、经络阻塞、脏腑失和，可分期论治。总结《金匮要略》治疗痈脓的方法，认为痈脓应尽早治疗，防邪深入；并根据证情辨证使用清热解毒，活血消散；排除脓毒，泄浊于外等治法。对现代临床仍具实用价值。      

膝痹宁对膝骨关节炎模型大鼠滑膜纤维化的影响

目的观察膝痹宁对膝骨关节炎(KOA)模型大鼠滑膜纤维化的影响。方法大鼠分为空白组、KOA组、膝痹宁组;KOA组、膝痹宁组造模。分别在膝痹宁灌胃治疗的第1、14、28、42、56天测量各组大鼠的膝关节横径;第56天处死大鼠提取滑膜组织,解剖学观察滑膜组织形态;天狼星红染色评估滑膜组织胶原沉积情况;WB和PCR检测纤维化标记物生长转化因子-β(TGF-β)、Ⅰ型胶原α1链(COL1α1)、金属蛋白酶抑制剂1(TIMP1)的蛋白和基因表达。结果膝痹宁用药14天,28天时,膝关节横径变化并不显著,但膝痹宁用药42天,56天时,膝关节横径则较KOA模型明显减小,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);用药56天后对大鼠进行膝关节解剖学观察,KOA大鼠滑膜组织较正常大鼠有一定程度的增厚、充血、欠规则;而上述表现在膝痹宁大鼠有所减轻;天狼星红染色显示膝痹宁用药大鼠滑膜组织胶原沉积较少;纤维化标记指标物TGF-β、COL1α1、TIMP1的基因和蛋白表达在膝痹宁组均较KOA组降低,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论膝痹宁对能有效减轻KOA滑膜纤维化,以“温经活血”立法的中药复方对组织纤维化具有良性干预效应。     

Next-generation sequencing through multigene panel testing for the diagnosis of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa in Chinese population

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heritable blistering disorder. We performed a next-generation sequencing-based multigene panel test and successfully predicted 100% of the EB types, including, 36 EB simplex (EBS), 13 junctional EB (JEB), 86 dystrophic EB (DEB), and 3 Kindler EB. Chinese JEB and recessive DEB (RDEB) patients have relatively mild phenotypes; for severe type separately accounts for 45.5% and 23.8%, respectively. We identified 96 novel and 49 recurrent pathogenic variants in 11 genes, although we failed to detect the second mutation in one JEB and five RDEB patients. We identified one novel p.E475K mosaic mutation in the clinically normal mother of one out of 13 EBS patients with KRT5 mutations, one recurrent p.G2034R mosaic mutation, and one novel p.G2043R mosaic mutation in the clinically normal relatives of two out of 19 dominant DEB patients. This study shows that next-generation technology could be an effective tool in diagnosing EB.     

生殖专科机构预防新型冠状病毒肺炎感染的措施

新型冠状病毒肺炎(简称新冠肺炎, COVID-19)是近期流行的一种新发传染病,已造成大量人员感染,其中包括医务人员。为预防生殖医学的医院感染,有效降低新冠肺炎在生殖专科机构传播的风险,通过查询相关文献、指南和规范等,并结合生殖医学特点,制定生殖医学有关的临床区、手术室和实验室及相关人员预防新冠肺炎的措施。
