Coronary permeability and left ventricular function following thrombolytic therapy

We study 40 patients, 55 +/- 7 years old with acute myocardial infarction treated early by thrombolytic therapy (20 STK and 20 rt-PA). All patients were angiographically studied in the following conditions: 1) baseline, before initiating therapy. 2) Three hours after treatment. 3) Twenty four hours later. 4) Before discharge. The infarct related artery was patent 24 hours after treatment in 31 patients (78%); five of them were patent before treatment, and we observed an early reperfusion in 20 patients (57%) and late reperfusion in 6 patients (17%). The number of patients with angiographic evidence of intraluminal thrombus decreased progressively through conditions while the grade TIMI of coronary perfusion increased in the absence of reocclusion. Final regional wall motion of infarct related myocardial zones and their degree of recovery were significantly higher in recanalized patients, as compared with non-reperfused patients. Similarly, left ventricular functional recovery was higher in patients with antegrade of collateral flow to the infarct area, as compared with totally occluded patients.     

Spectroscopic imaging of the pilocarpine model of human epilepsy suggests that early NAA reduction predicts epilepsy.

Reduced hippocampal N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) is commonly observed in patients with advanced, chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). It is unclear, however, whether an NAA deficit is also present during the clinically quiescent latent period that characterizes early TLE. This question has important implications for the use of MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) in the early identification of patients at risk for TLE. To determine whether NAA is diminished during the latent period, we obtained high-resolution (1)H spectroscopic imaging during the latent period of the rat pilocarpine model of human TLE. We used actively detuneable surface reception and volume transmission coils to enhance sensitivity and a semiautomated voxel shifting method to accurately position voxels within the hippocampi. During the latent period, 2 and 7 d following pilocarpine treatment, hippocampal NAA was significantly reduced by 27.5 +/- 6.9% (P < 0.001) and 17.3 +/- 6.9% (P < 0.001) at 2 and 7 d, respectively. Quantitative estimates of neuronal loss at 7 d (2.3 +/- 7.7% reduction; P = 0.58, not significant) demonstrate that the NAA deficit is not due to neuron loss and therefore likely represents metabolic impairment of hippocampal neurons during the latent phase. Therefore, spectroscopic imaging provides an early marker for metabolic dysfunction in this model of TLE.     

前臂逆行骨间背侧皮瓣的临床应用

目的总结前臂逆行骨间背侧皮瓣的临床疗效。方法回顾性分析42例前臂逆行骨间背侧皮瓣，并结合文献阐明其变异程度及变异的处理。结果骨间背侧血管在前臂中1／3缺如1例．皮瓣边缘坏死；皮瓣向近端延伸超过4cm者4例，远端坏死，延迟愈合；其余均一期愈合：结论虽然前臂骨间背侧血管有变异，但前臂逆行骨间背侧皮瓣仍是修复手背中等大小创面较为理想的方法，以近点皮肤穿支向近端延伸皮瓣不要超过4cm。     

Comparison of fMRI statistical software packages and strategies for analysis of images containing random and stimulus-correlated motion.

The objectives of this study were to use computer-generated phantoms containing real subject motion to: (1) compare the sensitivity of four commonly used fMRI software packages and (2) compare the sensitivity of three statistical analysis strategies with respect to motion correction. The results suggest that all four packages perform similarly in fMRI statistical analysis with SPM2 having slightly higher sensitivity. The most sensitive analysis technique was to perform motion correction and include the realignment parameters as regressors in the general linear model. This approach applies to all four packages examined and can be most beneficial when stimulus-correlated motion is present.     

头面部复杂动静脉畸形的栓塞治疗

目的　研究经导管栓塞技术在头面部动静脉畸形治疗中的应用。方法　 3 0例头面部动静脉畸形患者共接受 40次栓塞治疗。其中使用国产TH胶栓塞者为 18例 2 0次 ,使用进口PVA微粒栓塞者为 12例 2 0次。结果　 3 0例患者均成功实行瘤灶供血动脉栓塞术。所有患者栓塞术后临床症状明显改善 ,如瘤体缩小甚至消失 ,皮温降低 ,搏动感和血管杂音减弱或消失等。术后随访3～ 6个月 ,12例复发。全部病例均无严重并发症。结论　对于头面部动静脉畸形的患者来说 ,经导管栓塞术是一种较好的非手术治疗方法 ,在栓塞剂的选择方面 ,则以PVA微粒栓塞更为理想。     

Solitary Small Hepatic Angiosarcoma: Initial and Follow-up Imaging Findings

We report an uncommon case of solitary, small hepatic angiosarcoma that was initially considered as a hemangioma. We present the imaging findings, with an emphasis on the initial and follow-up CT and MR findings, as well as report on the more suggestive findings of angiosarcoma than those of a hemangioma.     

冷冻食品中损伤大肠菌群的修复探讨

Hand hygiene and glove use behavior in an Italian hospital.

In an Italian hospital, we observed that hand hygiene was performed in 638 (19.6%) of 3,253 opportunities, whereas gloves were worn in 538 (44.2%) 1,218 of opportunities. We observed an inverse correlation between the intensity of care and the rate of hand hygiene compliance (R2=0.057; P<.001), but no such association was observed for the rate of glove use compliance (R2=0.014; P=.078). Rates of compliance with hand hygiene and glove use recommendations follow different behavioral patterns.
