Functional correlates of Doppler flow study of the female urethral vasculature.

OBJECTIVES: To examine the effect of individual patient factors (age, parity, body mass index, menstrual cycle, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, bladder neck position and urethral mobility) on the appearance of Doppler flow in urethral vessels, to investigate the association between the Doppler flow parameters and intrinsic urethral function, storage and voiding, and to explore differences in the urethral vasculature between subjects with and without urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). METHODS: Over a 4-year period we prospectively performed imaging studies in 355 women, including 244 who denied any lower urinary tract symptoms within the previous 3 months (Group A) and 111 who had had lower urinary tract symptoms (Group B). Studies included morphologic assessment and Doppler flow investigation of the lower urinary tract. Vascular flow velocity and vessel density in the urethral vasculature were measured. For women in Group B, multichannel urodynamic studies were also performed. RESULTS: The urethral vasculature has five main branches of vessels. Their appearance was not affected by the menstrual cycle or menopause except for those of the anterior vaginal vessel and anterior branch of the middle urethral vessel. Other than that of the posterior urethral vessel, in which there was a correlation with parity, the resistance index (RI) was not affected by individual patient factors. However, there was a correlation between the vascular index (VI) and individual factors such as age (r = -0.336, P = 0.002), body mass index (r = -0.287, P = 0.028), menopause (r = -0.402, P < 0.001), and hormone replacement therapy (r = 0.392, P = 0.027). Only the VI and RI of the posterior urethral vessel correlated significantly with the urethral pressure profile. In subjects with lower urinary tract symptoms, the appearance of the urethral vasculature on power Doppler imaging and the corresponding RI and VI values were not correlated with objective evidence of USI. CONCLUSION: Patient factors may affect specific Doppler flow parameters of the urethral vasculature, which are related to intrinsic resting urethral closure. There is no difference in the appearance of the urethral vasculature in subjects with or without USI.     

兔视网膜方向选择性神经节细胞树突的独特分枝模式及其生理意义

本实验研究了兔视网膜中的方向选择性神经节细胞 (direction selective retinal ganglion cells,DS cells)树突野的分枝模式。测量了视网膜中方向选择性神经节细胞和作为经典分枝模式神经元代表的α神经节细胞的树突直径。发现 ,方向选择性神经节细胞的树突在分枝后直径达到 0 .5 μm,进一步分枝树突直径仍保持在 0 .5 μm左右 ,这样 ,在方向选择性神经节细胞树突野中大多数树突直径在 0 .5μm左右。而作为经典分枝模式神经元代表的α神经元的树突每次分枝后都逐级变细 ,最终直径达到 0 .5μm左右 ,这样 ,α神经节细胞的树突直径大部分都大于 0 .5μm。我们应用程序“NEU RON”对在两种神经元模型中 ,抑制点落于兴奋点与胞体之间 (proximal)和抑制点不落于兴奋点与胞体之间 (distal)这两种情况进行模拟。我们发现 ,当抑制点不落于兴奋点与胞体之间时 ,在方向选择性神经节细胞的树突分枝模型中 ,抑制效果更强。那么 ,将使得方向选择性神经节细胞对抑制点落于兴奋点和胞体之间的要求变得不是那么迫切。所以 ,方向选择性神经节细胞的这种独特分枝模式 ,也许可以避免或至少减轻其在发育中可能会产生的连线的复杂性。并且 ,我们对得出的结论进行了电路分析 ,对方向选择性神经节细胞这种独特的分枝模式具有的?     

自体腹白线片修补十二指肠溃疡穿孔(附13例报告)

目的探讨用游离自体腹白线片修补急性十二指肠溃疡穿孔的应用价值。方法从2006年1月至2006年7月对13例用自体腹白线片修补急性十二指肠溃疡穿孔的病人的临床资料和随访情况进行回顾性分析,其中2例穿孔大于2cm2,平均手术时间60分钟,平均失血量20ml,平均住院天数9±1天。结果游离自体腹白线片修补急性十二指肠溃疡穿孔13例均痊愈出院。随访15天至6个月,无手术并发症。结论本方法操作较简单、安全、效果好,其适应症广,是一种可行的新方法。     

手部皮肤套脱伤的治疗

目的探讨手部皮肤套脱伤的治疗方法。方法2002年4月-2004年11月，治疗22例手部皮肤套脱伤患者，其中19例分别通过吻合血管、套脱皮肤修薄回植及多切口引流等方法进行修复。另有3例，因无法行套脱皮肤回植而采用腹部带蒂皮瓣修复。结果术后随访3个月-1年。19例套脱皮肤原位回植患者中，13例皮肤完全成活，4例有部分皮缘坏死，经中药换药后愈合，2例行切痂植皮术后治愈。手功能按ATN功能评分评定：优9例，良7例，中3例，优良率为84％，患者对手外形及功能满意。3例腹部皮瓣修复者，皮瓣全部成活。术后随访5个月-1年，手外形及功能明显差于皮肤原位回植者。结论尽可能地回植手部套脱皮肤，对手功能及外形的恢复具有重要意义。     

颅脑外伤后肢体痉挛状态的显微外科治疗

Inhibitory effect of glycyrrhiza uralensis fish and chelidonium majus L on gastrocarcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N′-nitron-N-nitrosoguanidine

In order to investigate the antagonistic effect of Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Fish (GUF) and Chelidonium maJus L (CML) on gastrccarcinogenesis induced by MNNG in Wastar rats, we treated the rats with MNNG alone (group 1) and with MNNG plus GUF and CML (group 2 and 3) respectively. The incidence of infiltrating adenocarcinoma of the glandular stomach and duodenum in group 2 was significantly lower than that in group 1 (26.7% vs. 67.8%). The differentiation and aggressivenees of carcinomas occured in group 2 were much better and mild than those in group 1. Present study also demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of CML on proliferation of human stomach carcinoma cell line MGC-803 was very remarkable; in addition, GUF and CML were able to antagonise the mutagenic activation of MNNG. These results suggest that GUF and CML may be empoyed in prevention of gastric carcinoma.
