囊性肺纤维化同种异体肺移植1例报告

为1例17岁女性严重囊性肺纤维化患者行右侧单肺移植，术中未用体外循环，供肺采用冷UW液灌注，冷缺血时间280min。术后18h停用呼吸机，第4天下地活动。术后免疫抑制剂选用甲基强的松龙冲击治疗后再用“新三联”(FK506，骁悉，强的松)维持后续治疗。患者术后恢复顺利，复查肺功能基本正常，动脉血气分析显示较术前明显改善。术后第1个月未出现严重排异反应。目前存活状况良好。     

Dynamic observations on NK cell activity and IL-2 and IFNγ productionin vitro in patients on maintenance hemodialysis

Summary In order to study the immune function of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), we assayed NK cell cytotoxicity against K⁵⁶² targets in 40 patients on MHD, and the production of IL-2 and IFN in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) after PHA stimulation, in contrast to those in normal controls. The results showed that NK cell activity and IL-2 and IFN levels were markedly lower in the patients than in the controls. Afeter a single dialysis, NK cell activity as well as IL-2 and IFN levels were elevated to different extent. But there was no significant change in patients after long-term dialysis. There was a positive correlation between the NK cell activity and IL-2 and IFN activity in the controls, but no such correlation was found in the patients on MHD. There was a positive correlation between the NK cell activity and IL-2 activity in patients after dialysis, suggesting that immune function were impaired in the patients on MHD, with a decline in the activity of NK cell and IL-2 and IFN, and a disorder of immune regulation cycle. These abnormal immune impairments in the patients could be partly corrected by hemodialysis. However, long-term hemodialysis is not much helpful in the improvement of patient’s immune function.     

聚合酶β活力的测定方法及其应用

本文作者主要报道了一种测定ＤＮＡ聚合酶β活力的方法，其基本原理是：ＤＮＡ聚合酶α、β等能催化活化ＤＮＡ中的ＤＮＡ合成，将３Ｈ－ＴＴＰ等掺入ＤＮＡ双链缺口中。在选用对ＤＮＡ聚合酶β活力无影响，而对其它ＤＮＡ聚合酶活力有选择性抑制作用的抑制剂Ｎ－乙基马来酰亚胺以后，活化ＤＮＡ中３Ｈ－ＴＴＰ掺入量可以代表ＤＮＡ聚合酶β活力的大小，用该法测定裸鼠肝细胞、肝癌细胞核内ＤＮＡ聚合酶β活力，发现肝癌细胞内ＤＮＡ聚合酶β活力高于正常肝细胞。经γ射线照射３０Ｇｙ后，两种细胞核内该酶活力均无明显下降，本方法操作简单、比较经济、准确可靠，易于在国内推广应用。     

A randomized controlled trial of electromagnetic therapy in the primary care management of venous leg ulceration

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to establish the potential efficacy, tolerabilityand side-effect profile of electromagnetic therapy as an adjunctto conventional dressings in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. METHOD: A prospective, randomized, double blind controlled clinicaltrial was carried out in a dedicated leg ulcer clinic basedin one urban general practice. Nineteen patients with leg ulcersof confirmed venous aetiology were assessed. The main outcomemeasures were rate and scale of venous leg ulcer healing, changesin patient-reported pain levels, quality of life, degree ofmobility, side effect profile and acceptability to patientsand staff. RESULTS: Sixty-eight per cent of patients attending this dedicated clinicachieved improvements in the size of their ulcer (4, 21%, healedfully) and in reduced pain levels (P < 0.05) during the trial,despite the chronicity of ulcer histories. Patients treatedwith electromagnetic therapy at 800 Hz were found at day 50to have significantly greater healing (P < 0.05) and paincontrol (P < 0.05) than placebo therapy or treatment with600 Hz. All patients reported improved mobility at the end ofthe study. The electromagnetic therapy was well tolerated bypatients, with no differences between groups in reporting adverseevents, and proved acceptable to staff. CONCLUSION: Despite the small numbers in this pilot study, electromagnetictherapy provided significant gains in the healing of venousleg ulcers and reduction in pain. Keywords. Electromagnetic therapy, RCT, leg ulcers, primary care.     

Leukaemic mantle cell lymphoma with t(11;14) and trisomy 12 showing clinical features of state A0 B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

The precise diagnosis of lymphoma usually requires the histological examination of lymph nodes or involved tissues. Mantle cell lymphoma is a form of intermediate grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which typical morphological immunophenotypic and cytogenetic features have been recognised. A case of leukaemic mantle cell lymphoma with the characteristic reciprocal translocation t(11;14) together with trisomy 12, a chromosomal abnormality usually associated with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), is presented. This combination of cytogenetic abnormalities has not been reported previously. The lack of lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly in this patient is more in keeping with stage A0 CLL. This case demonstrates the close clinical and biological relationship between mantle cell lymphoma and CLL.     

Evaluation of a Commercial PCR Kit for Diagnosis of Cytomegalovirus Infection of the Central Nervous System

We evaluated the AMPLICOR cytomegalovirus (CMV) PCR kit for the diagnosis of neurologic CMV infections on 43 positive and 112 negative archived cerebrospinal fluid specimens originally tested by an in-house PCR method. The AMPLICOR kit showed sensitivity and specificity of 95 and 100%, respectively, versus the home-grown assay, indicating its utility in this clinical setting.     

母体钙代谢与补钙对妊娠的影响

妊娠期缺钙严重影响母婴的安全健康 ,其原因是由于妊娠期母体钙代谢发生变化 ,使母体血清游离钙离子浓度降低 ,血清铅浓度增高。有关研究表明 ,母体缺钙导致血铅竞争性过高 ,使胎儿身长、体重均小于胎龄儿 ,胎儿宫内发育迟缓的发生率增高 ,甚至发生早产、死胎等。同时发现血清钙离子可能对内源性一氧化氮合成释放起调节作用 ,而内皮素是最强的缩血管物质之一 ,母体补钙可调节一氧化氮与内皮素的平衡 ,从而降低妊高征的发生率。因此孕期补充钙剂是非常重要的。
