Distribution of rat facial motoneurons and its reorganization following nerve reinnervation]

OBJECTIVE: To examine the distribution of rat facial motoneurons contributing different branches under normal situation and when nerve reinnervation occurred following facial nerve axotomy. METHODS: The normal distribution of motoneurons innervated both buccal and marginal mandibular branches and its reorganization after facial nerve reinnervation was observed using retrograde labeling with fluorescein. RESULTS: Under normal situation, the motoneurons contributing buccall and marginal mandibular branches were primarily distributed in the intermedial and lateral subnucleus in facial nucleus and almost completely overlapped. The two types labeled neurons organized closely, but there were no double-labeled neurons. Although the motoneurons contributing buccall and marginal mandibular branches were primarily overlapped 4 month post-anastomosis, the number of the labeled neurons obviously decreased and the organization got more scattered. There were 10% of buccall branches, 5% of marginal mandibular motoneurons in the dorsal subnuleus, 1% of buccall and 4% of marginal mandibular in dorsal ventral and medial subnucleus. The distribution pattern of the motoneurons 6 month post-anastomosis was similar to that of 4 month post-anastomosis, but the number of the labeled neurons increased, and there were 1%-2% double-labeled neurons. CONCLUSION: The distribution pattern of motoneurons innervated both buccal and marginal mandibular branches indicates that it should exist wide-spread communicating branches, and its reorganization after facial nerve reinnervation suggests that misdirected regeneration occurs among motoneurons innervating different branches.     

辣椒中辣椒素含量的测定

本文作者改进了辣椒中辣椒素含量的测定法。即通过增设洋品空白管以消除色素的干扰;改变 Na_2CO_3溶液的浓度以缓和其操作条件及防止在低温时产生沉淀。本改良法具有简便、快速和重现性好之优点。     

Pleural cryptococcosis in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome

Pleural cryptococcosis is extremely rare. We report the first case of cryptococcal pleural effusion in association with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Pleural effusion without the evidence of pulmonary parenchymal involvement was the initial and only clinical finding leading to the diagnosis of disseminated cryptococcosis. The pleural effusion resolved spontaneously prior to amphotericin B therapy.     

农民工结核病健康教育效果评价

目的 探讨开展结核病健康教育对提高农民工相关知识知晓率和态度正确率的作用.方法 对重庆市南岸区农民工进行结核病相关知识的健康教育,教育方式是由专科医生进行专题讲座.健康教育讲座前后在同一现场统一发放问卷,并当场收回,对教育前后农民工的结核病相关知识作一一配对比较.结果 调查15项内容,其中有14项内容教育前后有显著性差异.教育前农民工结核病知识知晓率为67.5%,教育后知晓率为99.5%;正向态度报告率从教育前的44.1%提高到60.1%.结论 健康教育能提高农民工防治结核病知识知晓率和态度正确率,此方法值得推广.     

VEGF、EGF在再生障碍性贫血患者血清中的表达及意义

目的 检测再生障碍性贫血患者血清中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)与表皮生长因子(EGF)的浓度,探讨VEGF和EGF在再生障碍性贫血患者血液中的表达及二者之间的关系和意义.方法 应用酶联免疫技术(ELISA法)检测20例再障患者及40名健康人血清中VEGF和EGF浓度.结果 20例再生障碍性贫血患者血清VEGF的含量为50.5±34.8pg/ml,对照组血清VEGF的含量为108.5±50.6 pg/ml,两组比较有统计学意义(P＜0.05).20例再生障碍性贫血患者血清EGF含量为0.15±0.11 μg/L,40例正常对照组血清EGF含量为0.76±0.80 μg/L.结论 再生障碍性贫血患者血清VEGF、EGF浓度显著低于健康对照组,且二者呈显著正相关.
