四参三根二花汤治疗鼻咽癌放疗不良反应80例临床观察

放射治疗（放疗）是鼻咽癌患者首选的治疗方法。在放疗过程中，许多患者经常出现口咽部反应，如咽部充血、疼痛、白膜、口腔粘膜溃疡等不良反应，轻者影响进食，重者迫使放疗停止，直接或间接地影响患者的治疗效果和生存期。笔者在临床中自拟四参三根二花汤在鼻咽癌患者放疗中使用，进行临床观察，收到良好效果，现总结如下：     

Inhibition of inward rectifier K+ currents by angiotensin II in rat atrial myocytes: lack of effects in cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats.

We examined the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on inward rectifier K+ currents (IK1) in rat atrial myocytes. [125I]Ang II-binding assays revealed the presence of both Ang II type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) receptors in atrial membrane preparations. Ang II inhibited IK1 in isolated atrial myocytes with an IC50 of 46 nmol/l. This inhibition was abolished by the AT, antagonist RNH6270 but not at all by the AT2 antagonist PD123319. Treatment of cells with pertussis toxin or a synthetic decapeptide corresponding to the carboxyl-terminus of Gialpha-3 abolished the inhibition by Ang II, indicating the role of a Gi-dependent signaling pathway. Accordingly, Ang II failed to inhibit IK1 in the presence of forskolin, dibutyryl-cAMP or protein kinase A catalytic subunits. In spite of the increased binding capacities for [125I]Ang II, Ang II failed to affect IKI in cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). AT, immunoprecipitation from atrial extracts revealed decreased amounts of Gialpha-2 and Gialpha-3 proteins associated with this receptor in SHR as compared with controls. The reduced coupling of AT, with Gialpha. proteins may underlie the unresponsiveness of atrial IK1 to Ang II in SHR cells.     

1例成人Still病的临床观察与护理

成人Still病(AOSD)又称变应性亚败血症,病因及发病机制不明,临床表现复杂多样,主要以弛张热、一过性多形性皮疹、关节痛为主要临床表现,并伴有周围血粒细胞增生,严重者可出现多脏器功能损害[1],激素治疗有效。该病临床较少见,早期临床表现缺乏特异性,所以极易误诊。我科2006年2月9日收治1例AOSD病人,现报告如下。1临床资料病人,男,18岁。于2006年1月3日无明显诱因出现咽痛、发热,体温最高达39.3℃,鼻塞,伴周身酸痛、关节疼痛,2006年1月7日晨起排血尿1次,门诊血常规检查:白细胞14.2×109/L,中性粒细胞0.918,淋巴细胞0.053,单核细胞0.029,…     

新生儿听力筛查研究及其评价

我国每年有两千万新生儿出生，约有2万～6万新生儿患有听力障碍，远高于目前已开展的两病筛查（先天性甲状腺功能低下1：7000，苯丙酮尿症1：16500）。开展新生儿听力筛查，是一项社会意义重大的优生工程。本院已将新生儿听力筛查作为重点工作，由专职听力筛查的儿科医生和主管护师共同承担此项工作，并对患儿进行追踪随访，为早诊断、早干预提供帮助，同时调查家长对筛查结果的评价。现介绍如下。

临床护士针刺伤调查及职业安全管理探讨

目的 了解护士的职业安全意识，以探讨职业安全管理模式。方法 采用随机抽样方法对100名临床护士进行针刺伤经历及相关问题的回顾性问卷调查。结果97．0％被调查护士在工作期间发生过针刺伤，77.30／被针刺伤〉1次／年，71．6％在操作和处置中被污染针头所伤，54．6％的针刺伤不能确定感染源；与针刺伤有关的主要操作有清洗、处置注射器、回套针帽、处置临床医疗废物等；在针刺伤发生后40．0％护士不知道报告的程序和处理措施；所有护士都希望获得针刺伤相关的知识及帮助与支持。结论 临床护士针刺伤发生率高．防护意识不强，职业安全制度不健全。建议卫生行政管理部门及医疗单位管理部门建立、健全职业安全制度，加强医护人员职业防护培训，以促进医疗职业安全．     

激光荧光检测仪对乳牙合面患龋敏感位点的流行病学研究

目的：定量分析乳牙合面的龋病敏感点位，为指导临床预防和治疗龋病提供依据。方法：采用激光荧光检测仪（DIAGNOdent）检测156名5～6岁儿童共561颗患龋的乳磨牙合面，记录合面龋坏最严重的位点。结果：在上颌第2乳磨牙中，龋坏最严重的位点有60．1％发生在远中窝。在下颌第2乳磨牙中，龋坏最严重的位点有51．2％发生在舌沟；而在下颌第1乳磨牙中，龋坏最严重的位点则易发生在远中窝，占该牙记录位点的34．9％。结论：不同的牙合面患龋严重部位具有统计学规律，提示这些位点是龋坏容易发生和发展的地方，是临床上预防和治疗不可忽略的重要部位。     

What is the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging using rubidium-82 positron emission tomography?

OBJECTIVES: The objective was to determine the prognostic value of rubidium-82 (82Rb) positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). BACKGROUND: 82Rb PET MPI accurately diagnoses coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are limited data evaluating its prognostic value. METHODS: Follow-up (3.1 +/- 0.9 years) was obtained in 367 patients who underwent dipyridamole 82Rb PET MPI. Patients were divided into groups based on their summed stress score (SSS): group I, normal (<4); group II, mild (4 to 7); and group III, moderate (8 to 11) to severe (> or =12). RESULTS: There were significant differences among patients in the 3 SSS groups for hard events (cardiac death and myocardial infarction [MI]) (p < 0.001) and total cardiac events (hard events, revascularization and hospitalization) (p < 0.001). The annual hard events rates were 0.4%, 2.3%, and 7.0% in the normal, mild, and moderate-severe groups, respectively. In adjusted survival models, 82Rb PET SSS was the strongest predictor of total cardiac events and a significant predictor of hard events. Among patients referred for PET after 99mTc single-photon emission computed tomography, the annual total event rate was higher with abnormal versus normal SSS on PET (15.2% vs. 1.3%, p < 0.001). In patients with obesity, the annual total event rate was 11.1% with an abnormal scan and 1.5% with a normal scan (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that 82Rb PET MPI has significant prognostic value for predicting cardiac events, including death and MI. It also seems to have prognostic value in patients whose diagnosis remains uncertain after single-photon emission computed tomography MPI and in obese patients. The prognostic value of PET MPI may improve the management of cardiac patients.     

Relationship between Mandarin speech reception thresholds and pure-tone thresholds in the geriatric population.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: In the geriatric population, the reliability of pure-tone threshold (PTT) is sometimes poorer than that in young adults because of various reasons. This study assessed the relationship between Mandarin speech reception thresholds (SRTs) and PTTs in the aged and developed SRT as a measure for corroborating PTT. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled 46 consecutive subjects over 60 years of age. The results of SRT and PTT were collected from one ear randomly selected from each subject. Simple linear and multiple regressions were used to determine the correlation and linear regression coefficients between SRTs and PTTs at various frequencies. RESULTS: In the simple regression analysis, the correlation coefficient was highest at 1000 Hz (r = 0.949) and 500 Hz (r = 0.922), followed by 250 Hz (r = 0.850) and 2000 Hz (r = 0.792). In the multiple regression model with SRT as the dependent variable and PTTs as predictor variables, the resultant multiple correlation coefficient R was 0.967, while R2 was 0.936. In this model, PTTs at the frequencies of 500 Hz and 1000 Hz contributed significantly to the variance in SRTs with p values of 0.029 and < 0.001, respectively. These results demonstrated that the Mandarin SRT is strongly associated with PTTs at the frequencies of 500 Hz and 1000 Hz. CONCLUSION: This study established the agreement between Mandarin SRTs and PTTs in the low tone area of speech frequencies in the geriatric population. In clinical settings, SRT test can be rapidly and easily performed and is relatively inexpensive. It is a vital indicator of the accuracy of PTT measurement.
