Reconstruction of the two-dimensional distribution of p53 positive staining patches in sun-exposed morphologically normal skin

1,320 serial sections were microscopically examined from 11 excisions of human skin with a variety of neoplastic lesions. In total about 1 cm(2) of morphologically normal epidermis was scrutinized. The emphasis was on the topography of epidermal 'p53 patches' of morphologically normal keratinocytes apparently driven into clonal expansion by a mutation of the p53 gene or an analogous mechanism causing constitutive nuclear accumulation of p53. The p53 patches were only rarely in contact with dysplasia or carcinoma in situ supporting previous somatic genetic evidence that patches are not common precursors of squamous cell neoplasia. The size of the p53 patches varied from 0.03 to at least 12 mm(2). About 34% of epidermis was covered by p53 patches deduced to be originally derived from an average of 40 cells per cm(2) by clonal expansion. This implies that a large number of skin cells are at risk of contracting further mutations in the p53 gene and other parts of the genome, if the 'guardian of the genome hypothesis' of the p53 gene is correct and exposure to sun-light continues. This finding together with calculations based on number of basal cells/mm(2) skin area suggest that prevalence of mutations which apparently drive stem cells into clonal growth is about 1:15,000 stem cells in 70-80 years old Caucasian sun-exposed skin at latitude 60 degrees North.     

15例原发性淀粉样变性的临床与病理分析

目的 加强对有突出肾损害的原发性淀粉样变性的认识,提高诊断水平。方法 对１５例有突出肾损害的原发性淀粉样变性病例资料从多脏器受累情况。骨髓穿刺及活检。血／尿蛋白电泳和电泳及治疗预后等方面进行总结和分析。结果 肾脏、消化、循环和血液系统有不同程度受累,部分病例有骨髓浆细胞增生,血／尿中检出单克隆蛋白。结论本病肾损害有一定特点,尤其特异性的肾脏病理改变可明确诊断 。     

电热手术刀在妇产科手术中的应用

目的：观察新型电热手术刀在妇产科手术中的应用效果。方法：对６５ 例需手术的妇产科病人,用新型电热手术刀做手术,与同期用普通手术刀（２５ 例） 和高频电刀（２０ 例） 做手术进行比较。结果：电热手术刀可在锋利切割组织的同时快速止血,止血作用类似于高频电刀;和普通手术刀相比,电热手术刀能明显减少出血量,加快手术速度,且无脂肪液化,无刀片粘连,切口愈合良好,热损伤轻微。结论：电热手术刀结合了普通手术刀和高频电刀的优点,适合在妇产科手术中推广使用。     

三叉神经鞘瘤的外科治疗

目的 探讨三叉神经鞘瘤最佳外科手术入路。方法 回顾性分析７５例三叉神经鞘瘤的临床资料和随访结果。按时间先后分为早期组和后期组进行对比。结果 早期组（１９７８￣１９８４年）应用常规硬脑膜内入路：后期组（１９８５￣１９９５年）除颅后窝型应用枕下硬膜内入路外,均用颅底开颅硬脑膜外入路。早期和后期组肿瘤全切率分别为５８％（２０／３５）和８０％（３２／４０）（Ｐ〈０．０５）,暂时和永久颅神经障碍分别为６３％     

四甲基偶氮唑盐法用于非小细胞肺癌药敏试验条件的筛选

目的筛选非小细胞肺癌药敏试验的条件。方法取25例非小细胞肺癌患者的瘤细胞,用四甲基偶氮唑盐（MTT）法观察9种化疗药物,在不同浓度、不同时间对瘤细胞的敏感性。结果9种化疗药物对瘤细胞的敏感性,有随着药物浓度的增加、作用时间的延长而增高的趋势,但每个药物都有各自的特点。结论非小细胞肺癌细胞MTT法药敏试验的浓度应为临床用药量的计算值,药物作用时间应以48h为宜。     

围手术期心脏起搏临床应用探讨

报道５８例非心脏手术的围手术期心脏起搏临床应用,重点讨论围手术期心脏起搏的方法与适应症。认为经静脉右室起搏疗效恒定可靠,适应症范围广。对伴有缓慢型或快速型心律失常的心脏病或潜在心脏病患者,围手术期心脏起搏适应症可适当放宽,以确保麻醉手术顺利进行     

Cancer chemotherapy in the elderly: a series of 51 patients aged>70 years

Summary A total of 2,238 new cancer patients were treated in our institution in 1988; among the 423 (18.9%) who were>70 years old, 51 underwent chemotherapy. The median age was 75.8 years, and the Karnofsky performance status (KPS) was 70% for 40 patients. Malignancies were hematopoietic in 24 cases (47%) and digestive in 15 patients (29%), and 12 subjects (24%) had other types of cancers. The first chemotherapy course was given at the full dose to 23/51 (45.1%) patients. The drug dose was reduced for 28/51 (54.9%) patients, due in 25 cases to the subjects being>70 years old. Neither age, KPS, pretreatment assessment, nor cancer extent was correlated with the modifications made to the first cycle. An overall toxicity of grade 3+4 (WHO grading scale) was noted in 10 subjects (19.6%). Although these elderly patients were probably selected, analysis of their charts did not evidence an increase in chemotherapy toxicity, regardless of the dose they received.Presented at the EORTC Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism Group Meeting, Bordeaux, November 1990     

Intramural hematoma of the esophagus caused by minor head injury 6 hours previously

The diagnosis of extensive intramural hematoma of the esophagus due to a bicycle trauma was considerably delayed because symptoms did not develop until 6 h after the accident. This report underscores the importance of a barium meal and computed tomographic (CT) scan in cases of unexplained chest pain, even after minor trauma.
