动物实验模型中多极导管心室除颤系统电除颤对心脏功能的影响

评价新型的双极和三极导管自动心室除颤系统电除颤对左心室收缩和舒张功能的影响。动物麻醉后,在X光机指导下,分别在10只犬心脏内装置双极导管自动除颤系统（组Ⅰ）;在10只猪心脏内装置三极导管自动除颤系统（组Ⅱ）;并行电除颤试验。使用食管超声心动图在电除颤前后记录二维、M型和多谱勒超声图像。组I动物接受4次电除颤,电量为64J;组Ⅱ接受平均8次电除颤,电量为210J。结果显示：左室收缩面积分数、左室等容舒张时间和二尖瓣血流E波与A波速度比值以及时间-流速积分比值等反映左室舒缩功能的指标在两组动物除颤后均无显著改变。研究表明：两种经静脉导管自动心室除颤系统中反复低能量心内膜电除颤对左室舒缩功能无明显损伤作用;研究结果为经静脉多极导管自动心室除颤系统在临床的应用和电生理研究提供了可靠的实验数据。     

用电子自旋共振成像观测氮氧自由基的透皮特性

在自行研制的电子自旋共振成像(Electron spin resonance imaging, ESRI)系统上建立了活体皮肤电子自旋共振成像的实验模型.观测了氮氧自由基化合物2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶-1-氧(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy,TEMPO)穿透小鼠皮肤组织的动态过程和浓度分布情况.成像结果显示TEMPO化合物对不同方法处理后的皮肤组织的透皮特性有明显差别.TEMPO水溶液难以穿透皮肤,而溶解在二甲基亚枫(Dimethyl sulfoxide,DMSO)中的脂溶性TEMPO溶液可以渗入并穿透皮肤.皮肤表层的角质蛋白对TEMPO有明显的阻隔性, 而且化合物渗入或透过皮肤组织的量具有较强的时间依赖性.本研究结果提示ESRI技术为动态研究某些特殊结构化合物的透皮特性提供了科学有效的分析手段.

Die Wertigkeit der Adenosintriphosphatase Reaktion zur Diagnostik von essentiellen Paraproteinämien

Zusammenfassung Bei 26 Fällen mit essentieller Paraproteinämie wurde die cytochemische Aktivität der Adenosintriphosphatase (ATPase) in den Plasmazellen des Knochenmarks untersucht. 15 Fälle zeigten eine erniedrigte und 11 Patienten eine normale ATPase-Aktivität. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die Erniedrigung der ATPase für die Diagnostik des Plasmocytoms nicht spezifisch ist.Herrn Prof. Dr. W. Hoffmeister, Mannheim, zum 65. Geburtstag.     

吡格列酮对脂质灌注大鼠糖代谢和PPAR-γ表达的影响

目的：探讨吡格列酮 (Pio) 对游离脂肪酸诱导的胰岛素抵抗大鼠糖代谢和PPAR-γ表达的影响。方法:采用扩展正糖钳夹实验和［3-3H］标记葡萄糖示踪技术，观察了4 h脂质灌注导致大鼠血浆游离脂肪酸（FFA）升高引起糖代谢和脂肪组织PPAR-γ表达变化及Pio处理后的影响。 结果:在钳夹稳态期，对照组（N组）血浆FFA水平明显降低，而脂质灌注组（L组）和吡格列酮+脂质组（P/L组）FFA水平明显升高。 P/L组葡萄糖输注率(GIR)较N组明显降低（P<0.01）, 而L组又明显低于P/L组（P<0.01）；N组和P/L组肝糖输出 (HGP) 与基础值相比被明显抑制达85%（均P<0.01），在L组，胰岛素对HGP的抑制作用受到明显障碍（仅抑制8.7%）。L组和P/L组葡萄糖清除率（GRd）明显低于N组（P<0.01）。P/L组脂肪组织PPAR-γ表达明显增加。 结论:脂质灌注诱导了大鼠胰岛素抵抗。吡格列酮干预使大鼠脂肪组织PPAR-γ表达明显增加，并抑制了内源性肝糖产生，从而部分逆转了脂质诱导的胰岛素抵抗。

Obliterative muscularization of the small bowel submucosa in Crohn disease: a possible mechanism of small bowel obstruction

CONTEXT: The pathology of small bowel obstruction in Crohn disease has not been studied extensively. Stricture formation has been attributed mainly to fibrosis, although muscularization of the submucosa has been discussed previously. OBJECTIVE: To identify additional pathologic changes in Crohn disease that could be involved in the formation of strictures. DESIGN: We reviewed 50 ileal resections from patients with Crohn disease. The histopathologic slides were reviewed initially without knowledge of the macroscopic or clinical findings. We identified an unusual muscular proliferation that we refer to as obliterative muscularization of the submucosa, defined as a thick and continuous muscle layer from the mucosal base to the muscularis propria that is at least 1 cm in length. Subsequently, histopathologic findings were correlated with macroscopic and clinical findings. RESULTS: Obliterative muscularization of the submucosa was present in 14 specimens, and in 11 of these 14 it was topographically restricted to strictures. Submucosal fibrosis was observed in sections from adjacent regions. Obliterative muscularization of the submucosa, including thick-walled vessels and hyperplastic nerves but not prominent scarring, was more common in specimens with strictures; the difference was statistically significant (P <.001). CONCLUSIONS: Obliterative muscularization of the submucosa may be pathogenetically involved in the formation of strictures either directly by causing a sustained spasm, or indirectly by minimizing the vasoprotective role of the submucosa, impairing repair and enhancing scarring.     

Genetic basis for individual variations in pain perception and the development of a chronic pain condition

Pain sensitivity varies substantially among humans. A significantpart of the human population develops chronic pain conditionsthat are characterized by heightened pain sensitivity. We identifiedthree genetic variants (haplotypes) of the gene encoding catecholamine-O-methyltransferase(COMT) that we designated as low pain sensitivity (LPS), averagepain sensitivity (APS) and high pain sensitivity (HPS). We showthat these haplotypes encompass 96% of the human population,and five combinations of these haplotypes are strongly associated(P=0.0004) with variation in the sensitivity to experimentalpain. The presence of even a single LPS haplotype diminishes,by as much as 2.3 times, the risk of developing myogenous temporomandibularjoint disorder (TMD), a common musculoskeletal pain condition.The LPS haplotype produces much higher levels of COMT enzymaticactivity when compared with the APS or HPS haplotypes. Inhibitionof COMT in the rat results in a profound increase in pain sensitivity.Thus, COMT activity substantially influences pain sensitivity,and the three major haplotypes determine COMT activity in humansthat inversely correlates with pain sensitivity and the riskof developing TMD.     

Adaptation of cancellous bone to aging and immobilization in growing rats.

Two-and-half-month-old female rats were subjected to right hindlimb immobilization or served as controls for 0, 1, 2, 8, 14, and 20 weeks. The right hindlimb was immobilized by bandaging it against the abdomen, thus unloading it. Cancellous bone histomorphometry was performed on microradiographs and double-fluorescent labeled 20 microns sections of the distal femoral metaphyses. Primary spongiosa bone loss occurred rapidly by 2 weeks, and secondary spongiosa bone loss occurred rapidly by 8 weeks of immobilization, and then equilibrated at 60% less bone mass than age-related controls. The negative bone balance induced by immobilization was caused by transient increase in bone resorption, decrease in bone formation, and longitudinal bone growth. The dynamic data of secondary spongiosa cancellous bone showed that percent eroded perimeter was transiently elevated by 55 to 82% between 1 and 8 weeks, percent labeled perimeter was transiently depressed by 32% to 50% between 1 and 14 weeks, mineral apposition rate was depressed by 23% and 19% at 1 and 2 weeks, and bone formation rate-bone area referent was transiently depressed by 35% and 59% at 1 and 2 weeks. All the above parameters were at age-related control levels by 20 weeks of immobilization. However, bone formation rate-tissue area referent was depressed (-65%) throughout the study. Immobilization depressed completely longitudinal bone growth by 2 weeks and remained so. Only 0.65 mm of new metaphysis was generated in the immobilized versus 2.1 mm in controls during the study period. The immobilization induced an early cancellous bone loss which equilibrated at a new steady state with less bone and a normal (age-related control) bone turnover rate. When these findings were compared to an earlier study of 9-month-old virgin females subjected to right hindlimb immobilization up to 26 weeks, we found the adaptive responses of the cancellous bone were identical except that they occurred earlier and equilibrated sooner in younger rats.
