TGF-β1、Smad 3和P-Smad 2/3在病理性瘢痕中的表达

目的检测瘢痕疙瘩、增生性瘢痕和正常皮肤组织中转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)、Smad3和P-Smad2/3的表达情况,探讨上述细胞因子对瘢痕产生的重要性及影响。方法采用免疫组织化学的方法检测上述3种细胞因子在3种不同组织共36例标本中的表达,ImagePro-Plus6.0软件进行阳性面积测量和细胞计数。结果TGF-β1在瘢痕疙瘩和增生性瘢痕中均为增强高表达,而在正常皮肤中几乎不表达;Smad3在三组标本间表达水平无显著性差异;P-Smad2/3在瘢痕疙瘩中表达最强,增生性瘢痕次之,正常皮肤组织中最低。结论TGF-β1表达增强是病理性瘢痕产生的重要原因,P-Smad2/3的表达水平则可认为与瘢痕增生程度密切相关。     

Effects of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus on the risk of total cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with hypercholesterolemia: implications from the Japan Lipid Intervention Trial (J-LIT).

Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (DM) are well-established risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We analyzed the cardiovascular events in hyperlipidemic patients with or without DM who were administered open-labeled simvastatin in groups stratified by blood pressure level using data from the Japan Lipid Intervention Trial (J-LIT). Hyperlipidemic patients with DM (n=6,288) had significantly more cardiovascular events than those without DM (n=33,933). The incidence rates of total cardiovascular events in the Non-DM and DM groups were 15.40 and 25.76 per 1,000 patients for the 6-year period, respectively. The relative risk of total cardiovascular events in the DM vs. the Non-DM group was 1.68, and the relative risk was significantly higher in the DM than in the Non-DM group. The relative risks of total cardiovascular events were significantly higher in DM and Non-DM patients whose systolic blood pressure (SBP) was greater than or equal to 130 mmHg compared to that of Non-DM patients whose SBP was less than 130 mmHg, and in DM and Non-DM patients whose diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was greater than or equal to 80 mmHg compared to that of Non-DM patients whose DBP was less than 80 mmHg. In all groups stratified by SBP and DBP, relative risks of total cardiovascular events were higher in DM patients than in Non-DM patients. For patients with hypercholesterolemia and DM, blood pressure should be strictly controlled in order to prevent both coronary events and stroke. These results are in good agreement with the JNC 7 and the ESH/ESC guidelines for DM patients, which recommended that the SBP and DBP be less than 130 and 80 mmHg, respectively.     

The remucosalizing alar cartilage flap: a reconstructive option for repairing nasal septal perforations

The objective of this study is to assess the results of repairing septal perforations with a vascularized pedicled alar cartilage island flap. Using the external rhinoplasty approach, a vascularized flap of alar cartilage, harvested as a cephalic trim and pedicled on the ascending columellar branches of the superior labial artery was raised. Bilateral mucoperichondrial septal flaps were elevated and the alar flap was transposed and secured within the defect and bilaterally overlaid with temporalis fascia. Silastic sheets were placed and remained in situ until the grafts were revascularized from the peripheries of the defect as well as centrally from the alar flap. The revascularized temporalis fascia acted as a scaffold for nasal remucosalization. The alar flap also increased the long-term structural robustness of the repair. Between 1999 and 2003, 14 patients with septal perforations ranging from 10 to 31 mm underwent septal reconstruction using this technique. There were nine males and five females. The flap was successfully raised in all cases and long-term closure was maintained in 12 patients (86%). The alar cartilage flap is an effective technique for repairing septal perforations in selected patients. It provides vascularized tissue which nourishes the grafts during remucosalization, and a cartilaginous framework, which affords long-term structural support to the repair. It also obviates the need to transpose nasal mucosa and create a secondary defect. The rhinoplasty approach furthermore permits additional nasal deformities to be corrected at the same time.

重症急性胰腺炎早期治疗的探讨及分析

目的 探讨重症急性胰腺炎（SAP）早期治疗体会及外科手术治疗时机和手术方式的选择。方法 对比分析1989—1995年以早期手术为主的36例SAP（A组）与1996—2003年7年中非手术治疗为主的44例SAP（B组）的治愈率和死亡率。结果 B组的死亡率明显低于A组，A组的治愈率低于B组。结论 SAP早期的急性炎症反应期，手术只能加重对机体的打击，加重SAP全身炎症反应，增加手术死亡率。故SAP早期治疗应以非手术疗法为主。当内科治疗无效，手术治疗是唯一的选择，而手术时机的掌握和手术方式的选择更为重要，直接影响手术结果。     

烧伤病人耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌及其肠毒素的检测和耐药性分析

目的:评价乳胶结合实验,检测重症监护病房(ICU)耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)及其肠毒素(SE),并进行耐药性分析。方法:收集260株金黄色葡萄球菌临床分离株,通过药敏试验将其分为耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌和甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(MSSA),用反向间接血凝试验(RPHA)检测金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素。结果:MRSA产肠毒素为134株,MSSA产肠毒素为38株,MRSA产肠毒素率为100％,MSSA产肠毒素率为30％。结论:重症监护病房应重视MRSA的检测和金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素的检测,合理使用广谱抗菌药物。     

Extracellular matrix remodeling in oral submucous fibrosis: its stage-specific modes revealed by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization

BACKGROUND: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chewing habit-related pre-cancerous condition of the oral mucosa affecting predominantly south Asians. It is histopathologically characterized by epithelial atrophy and fibrosis of the subepithelial connective tissue. Fibrosis extends all the way into the muscle layer, leading to difficulty in mouth opening. However, the dynamics of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling with OSF progression is largely unknown. METHODS: Forty biopsy specimens of OSF and 10 of normal buccal mucosa were examined for expression/deposition modes of eight ECM molecules by histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization. RESULTS: In the early stage of OSF, tenascin, perlecan, fibronectin, collagen type III were characteristically enhanced in the lamina propria and the submucosal layer. In the intermediate stage, the ECM molecules mentioned above and elastin were extensively and irregularly deposited around muscle fibers. In the advanced stage, such ECM depositions decreased and were entirely replaced with collagen type I only. Their gene expression levels varied with progression of fibrosis, but the mRNA signals were confirmed in fibroblasts in the submucosal fibrotic areas. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the ECM remodeling steps in OSF are similar to each phase of usual granulation tissue formation. Restricted mouth opening may be a result of loss of variety of ECM molecules including elastin into the homogeneity of collagen type I replacing muscle fibers.
