110例癫痫患者24hAEEG临床应用报告

目的对１１０例癫痫患者的２４ｈ动态脑电图（ＡＥＥＧ）的应用价值进行了初步探讨。方法使用英国的ＯｘｆｏｒｄＭｅｄｉｌｏｇ９２００型８导磁带记录仪进行２４ｈ描记后作离线回放分析，并与普通ＥＥＧ相比较。结果１１０例中ＡＥＥＧ异常６２例（５６．４％），９８例中ＥＥＧ发现异常３２例（３２．７％）。ＥＥＧ正常而ＡＥＥＧ异常３０例，ＥＥＧ异常而ＡＥＥＧ正常９例。结论ＡＥＥＧ明显优于ＥＥＧ，但有时ＡＥＥＧ也不能捕获到间歇期的发作波。分析ＡＥＥＧ记录必需注意将睡眠Ⅰ、Ⅱ期出现的高幅顶尖波、纺锤波与痫样波区分开来，以免导致错误诊断。ＡＥＥＧ对颞叶和额叶底面的致痫灶反应较差，需补做特殊电极的ＥＥＧ，如蝶骨电极。     

HLA-B40, B18, B27, and B37 allele discrimination using group-specific amplification and SSCP method

We developed a system for discriminating HLA-B40, B18, B27, and B37 alleles using a two-step PCR method followed by SSCP analysis. Fragments (0.8 kb) including exon 2, intron 2, and exon 3 were amplified in the first PCR. We used two sets of primers, one specific for HLA-B60-related alleles and the other specific for HLA-B6l-related, B18, B27, and B37 alleles. No amplifications of other class I genes or pseudogenes were observed. In the second PCR, exon 2 and exon 3 were amplified separately, using diluents of the first PCR products as templates. HLA-B6l-related, B18, B27, B37, and B60-related alleles were clearly discriminated in the SSCP analysis of the second PCR products. In a population study in which B6l alleles were analyzed, B^*4003 was detected in two Japanese individuals in addition to two B6l alleles previously reported to occur in Japanese, B^*4002 and B^*4006. The relative frequencies of B^*4002, B^*4006, and B^*4003 in Japanese were 58, 35, and 6%, respectively. The individuals having B^*4003 are the first non-South Americans in whom this allele has been detected. The SSCP banding patterns of 18 HLA-B60-positive Japanese population samples were identical to those of a B^*40012 sample for both exon 2 and exon 3. We also demonstrated that the B37 allele occurring in some Japanese is B^*3701.     

Two dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms at the D8S1442 and D8S1443 loci

Two polymorphic dinucleotide (CA) repeat clones were isolated from cosmids, cCI8-1121 and cCI8-1199, mapped to chromosome 8p11.2-p12.     

Cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic studies of a case of interstitial deletion of proximal 15q

A 4-month-old child with multiple anomalies was determined to have an interstitial deletion of chromosome 15, i.e., del(15) (q12q14). The deletion appears not to be a typical deletion of 15q12 such as seen in Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes, but appears to be more distal, involving either loss of all of 15q12 and part of 15q14, or part of 15q12 and most of 15q14. In either case, 15q13 is missing. Fluorescent in situ hybridization with probes for 15 centromere (D15Z), pericentromeric satellite sequences (D15Z1), and chromosome 15 painting probes shows the deleted chromosome to involve only 15 and no other acrocentric chromosome. Hybridization with probes for the AS and PWS loci (D15S11 and GABAB3, Oncor) show both sites to be intact in the deleted 15. The case is compared with two other reports with overlapping interstitial deletions of proximal 15q, neither of which shows typical features of Angelman or Prader-Willi syndromes.

基于小波分解的多尺度医学图像融合技术

给出了一种基于小波分解的多尺度图像融合新方法。其基本思想是 ,先对源图像进行小波多尺度分解 ;其次 ,采用了基于区域特性量测选择的加权算子的融合规则进行小波系数融合 ;最后通过小波逆变换重构融合图像。实验结果表明 ,该融合方法十分有效 ,融合图像完好地显示了源图像各自的信息。     

老年与中青年癌症病人心理健康状况比较研究

癌症是一种心身疾病 ,心理社会因素在癌症的发生、发展及预后中均起着重要作用。反过来 ,癌症对病人来说又是一种恶性刺激 ,会给病人带来沉重的心理负担 ,影响疾病的康复和生活质量 ,并可加速癌症的恶性进展 ,造成不良后果。有研究表明 ,老年与中青年癌症病人因社会地位、社会经验及社会责任的不同而各具特点[1] 。了解不同年龄癌症病人的心理状况 ,并采取相应的处理策略 ,对癌症的治疗和康复具有积极作用。我们对 1999年 7月～ 2 0 0 0年 8月收治的 12 6例老年和 96例中青年癌症病人的心理健康状况进行了对比分析 ,结果总结如下。1　材料和…     

Electron microscopic studies on the location of bacterial proliferation in the liver in murine salmonellosis.

Highly susceptible inbred male C57BL/6 mice were infected with 2 X 10(7) virulent Salmonella typhimurium by intraperitoneal inoculation. Samples of the liver were removed 2 or 3 days post-infection for examination by electron microscopy. Rapid infiltration of polymorphs and macrophages was observed in the site of infection. Visual evidence is presented to confirm the destruction of salmonellae within these inflammatory phagocytes as previously reported. The proliferation of the pathogens occurred in the extracellular locations of sinusoids and early lesions, and within hepatocytes.     

Acute immune complex mediated glomerulonephritis in a Chinese girl with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome variant

This study presents a 12-year-old girl with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome variant, who developed acute glomerulonephritis without history of transfer factor therapy and the efficacy of splenectomy for the control of the patient's thrombocytopenia. The patient presented with eczema, severe thrombocytopenia and immunodeficiency. The impaired immunity was featured by impaired delayed hypersensitivity and lymphoproliferative response to nonspecific mitogen, low serum IgM, low isohaemagglutinins, recurrent infections and high IgE. She developed hematuria about one month prior to admission. For her severe thrombocytopenia splenectomy was performed and proved to be effective. At the time of splenectomy, renal biopsy was done and showed proliferative glomerulonephritis with coarse granular deposition of immunoglobulins (IgA and IgM) and C3. Electron microscopy demonstrated granular electron-dense deposits in the glomerulus, indicating an immune complex glomerulonephritis.     

Bacteremia in HIV-infected patients: short-term predictors of mortality

To identify characteristics associated with mortality in HIV-infected patients with bacteremia, 88 bacteremic episodes in 80 HIV-infected patients were prospectively identified over a 5-month period and observed for 30 days. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiologic data were collected. Mean and median age was 41 years. Most study subjects were homosexual men. Median CD4 count was 20 cells/mm3. Gram-positive organisms predominated (65%). The most common source of bacteremia was intravascular catheters (45%). Overall mortality was 30%. A history of malignancy, three or more opportunistic infections, shock, low hemoglobin, source of bacteremia other than an intravascular catheter, resistance to therapy, and a second bacteremic episode during the study period, were all found to be independent predictors of mortality. In this cohort of HIV-infected patients, most of whom were severely immunosuppressed, several factors were found to be significantly and independently associated with mortality.
