Automatic algorithm for correcting motion artifacts in time-resolved two-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography using convex projections.

Time-resolved contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may suffer from involuntary patient motion. It is noted that while MR signal change associated with motion is large in magnitude and has smooth phase variation in k-phase, signal change associated with vascular enhancement is small in magnitude and has rapid phase variation in k-space. Based upon this observation, a novel projection onto convex sets (POCS) algorithm is developed as an automatic iterative method to remove motion artifacts. The presented POCS algorithm consists of high-pass phase filtering and convex projections in both k-space and image space. Without input of detailed motion knowledge, motion effects are filtered out, while vasculature information is preserved. The proposed method can be effective for a large class of nonrigid motions, including through-plane motion. The algorithm is stable and converges quickly, usually within five iterations. A double-blind evaluation on a set of clinical MRA cases shows that a completely unsupervised version of the algorithm produces significantly better rank scores (P=0.038) when compared to angiograms produced manually by an experienced radiologist.     

cNO头颈鳞癌哨位淋巴结示踪法的研究进展

颈部哨位淋巴结是头颈部鳞癌最早发生转移的淋巴结,其所在位置及有无转移或微转移,是决定是否行区域性颈淋巴清扫的一个重要指标.对于哨位淋巴结阴性的cNO患者,为减少过度治疗,精确定位哨位淋巴结十分重要.目前多采用示踪法检测哨位淋巴结,本文就其判断cNO头颈鳞癌隐匿性转移的研究进展作一综述.     

Survivin和Bcl-2在尖锐湿疣中的表达

目的:测定survivin和Bcl-2在尖锐湿疣(CA)组织中的表达并探讨两者表达的关系。方法:应用免疫组织化学链霉菌抗生物素蛋白过氧化物酶方法(SP法)分别检测60例CA组织及10例正常包皮组织中survivin、Bcl-2基因的表达。在镜下观察切片并计算阳性细胞百分比。结果:CA组织中survivin的表达率为86.67%,显著高于正常包皮的表达率20%(P<0.01)。其中棘层的表达率85.00%显著高于基底层的表达率70.00%和颗粒层的表达率66.67%(P<0.05),基底层与颗粒层的表达率之间无显著性差异(P>0.05)。Bcl-2在CA的表达率为66.67%,正常包皮组织中未见Bcl-2蛋白表达。survivin在CA中的表达与Bcl-2呈正相关(P<0.01)。结论:本实验检测出survivin基因在CA组织中有异常表达,提示survivin蛋白引起的细胞凋亡抑制在CA的发生中起到重要的作用。survivin与Bcl-2在CA的发生发展过程中起到协同作用。     

IDEC-131 (Anti-CD154), Sirolimus and Donor-Specific Transfusion Facilitate Operational Tolerance in Non-Human Primates

CD154-specific antibody therapy prevents allograft rejection in many experimental transplant models. However, initial clinical transplant trials with anti-CD154 have been disappointing suggesting the need for as of yet undetermined adjuvant therapy. In rodents, donor antigen (e.g., a donor blood transfusion), or mTOR inhibition (e.g., sirolimus), enhances anti-CD154's efficacy. We performed renal transplants in major histocompatibility complex-(MHC) mismatched rhesus monkeys and treated recipients with combinations of the CD154-specific antibody IDEC-131, and/or sirolimus, and/or a pre-transplant donor-specific transfusion (DST). Therapy was withdrawn after 3 months. Triple therapy prevented rejection during therapy in all animals and led to operational tolerance in three of five animals including donor-specific skin graft acceptance in the two animals tested. IDEC-131, sirolimus and DST are highly effective in preventing renal allograft rejection in primates. This apparently clinically applicable regimen is promising for human renal transplant trials.     

立体着床模型--小鼠囊胚与子宫内膜的共培养

目的:建立小鼠囊胚体外着床的三维模型,为着床机制的研究提供重要工具.方法:将小鼠囊胚与其自身子宫内膜分别共培养在空气、含500,750和950 mL/L O2的混合气体与组织培养液的气液界面上,比较不同O2浓度下小鼠囊胚的贴附率,确定体外共培养的最佳O2浓度;同时将确认有囊胚贴附的子宫内膜取出作HE染色.结果:不同O2浓度下,囊胚的贴附率分别为64.75%,47.86%,42.37%和30.97%,x2检验提示其差异有显著性(x2=28.145,P=0.000);且随着混合气体中O2浓度的逐渐升高,囊胚贴附率呈逐渐降低趋势.因此50 mL/L CO2 950 mL/L空气对囊胚与子宫内膜的共培养是最有利的;同时,囊胚贴附子宫内膜后并无扩展行为而是直接侵入子宫内膜.结论:50 mL/L CO2 950 mL/L空气最有利于囊胚与子宫内膜的共培养;且囊胚贴附子宫内膜后不发生外延生长,而是直接侵入子宫内膜.本实验成功地建立了小鼠囊胚体外着床的三维模型.     

Sputum drainage by ultrasonic nebulization and the diagnosis of pulmonary carcinoma]

From June 1984 to June 1989, the sputum drain age by ultrasonic nebulization was done in 1155 cases of suspected lung cancer. From 286 positive cases, 157 (54.9%) were confirmed to be pulmonary cancer histologically. The general cytological and histological identification coincidence rate is 86%.     

不同免疫剂治疗扩张型心肌病患儿心功能和临床预后评价

目的观察比较泼尼松联用硫唑嘌呤和大剂量静脉用免疫球蛋白(IVIG)对扩张型心肌病(DCM)患儿心功能及预后的影响。方法将DCM患儿20例分为治疗Ⅰ和Ⅱ组,分别在传统抗心衰治疗基础上加泼尼松联用硫唑嘌呤和大剂量IVIG,治疗1个疗程后评价心功能,检测治疗前后左房横径(LA)、左室舒张期内径(LV)、左室射血分数(LVEF)、心脏指数(CI),并计算其治疗前后变化。所有病例随访1年,计算1年存活率。结果治疗Ⅱ组心功能明显优于治疗Ⅰ组(P均<0.05);两组LA、LV、LVEF和CI治疗后较治疗前均有明显改善(P均<0.05);治疗Ⅰ组各参数变化明显低于治疗Ⅱ组(P均<0.05),其1年存活率明显低于治疗组Ⅱ(P<0.05)。结论泼尼松联用硫唑嘌呤和大剂量IVIG均能改善DCM患儿心功能,但IVIG疗效优于泼尼松联用硫唑嘌呤。     

间接免疫荧光法检测婴幼儿急性下呼吸道合胞病毒感染的特异性IgM

本文对1984年1～3月和1985年3～8月共107例急性下呼吸道感染的住院患儿,采用间接免疫荧光法检测其急性期血清抗RSV特异性IgM抗体,并与病毒分离和/或中和试验比较,敏感性为82.1％,特异性为71.8％。RSV感染患儿发病后3天内大多数病例即可从血清中检测出RSV-IgM,因此该法具有早期诊断价值。     

脑梗塞患者脑脊液中三种阿片肽含量变化

用放射免疫法对144例脑梗塞患者及24例对照者脑脊液中β—内啡肽(β—EP)、亮脑啡肽(LEK)、强啡肽A_(1-13)(D_(yn)A_(1-13))含量进行检测,结果显示脑梗塞急性期3天内β—EP、LEK含量较对照组显著增高.D_(yn)A_(1-13)较对照组显著降低,一周后逐渐接近或达到对照组水平。同时也发现基底节区脑梗塞患者脑脊液中β-EP、LEK较其它部位梗塞为高,D_(yn)A_(1-13)较其它部位梗塞为低,与对照组相比差异显著。提示脑脊液中二种阿片肽含量变化与脑梗塞时缺血性应激反应有关。三者不平衡变化,参与了急性脑梗塞时缺血性脑水肿等病理生理过程。也提示脑梗塞急性期(尤其3天内)适量应用阿片受体拮抗剂或激动剂,有利于减轻缺血性脑水肿,缓解神经受损症状。
