Model invariant method for extracting single-channel mean open and closed times from heterogeneous multichannel records.

We present a proof that the mean open (and closed) times of the individual channels in a multichannel record can be found in a model-independent fashion. As the results are model independent, they can be derived by assuming the simplest model for all the channels, namely that they all have the basic CLOSED in equilibrium with OPEN scheme. In particular, the method can be applied to patches where the channel population is heterogenous with respect to open probability. Multichannel simulations are performed to test the limits of applicability of this method to restricted amounts of data. One conclusion is that increasing the number of channels does not substantially reduce the errors in estimating the mean times, in spite of the 'increased information' present. We also prove the general applicability of the algorithm of Fenwick et al. (1982) in estimating the mean times without knowledge of the number of channels present, and discuss its limitations. An illustration using experimental data is also given.     

原子吸收光谱法测定糖尿病患者血清锌、镁、钙含量的研究

采用原子吸收光谱法测定了30例糖尿病患者血清锌、镁、钙的含量,并与30例正常人相比较。结果表明,其锌和镁较正常人为低(P<0.05),但钙与正常人无显著性差别。另外,本文还对锌、镁与糖尿病的关系进行了探讨。     

血管缺损断指的回植

某些断指的伤情复杂，常合并血管缺损，回植难度大。我们在微血管移植动物实验和尸体手指显微解剖的基础上，据情分别采用了１２种方法，修复断指中血管缺损共２０７例（２６１指），成活２４０指，成活率９２％。我们认为精湛的显微外科技术和正确选择处理方法，是手术成功的关键。     

EVALUATION OF INDOCYANINE GREEN RETENTION AND AMINOPYRINE BREATH TESTS IN PATIENTS WITH MALIGNANT BILIARY OBSTRUCTION

Impaired hepatic function is a major contributory factor to the high incidence of postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Dynamic hepatic function tests such as indocyanine green (ICG) retention and aminopyrine breath tests were evaluated in such patients to define whether they were clinically useful for prediction of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Forty-four patients with malignant biliary obstruction undergoing surgery for relief of obstructive jaundice were recruited into the study. Indocyanine green retention and aminopyrine breath tests were carried out in all patients pre-operatively and repeated in 36 patients postoperatively. The ICG retention was abnormal in all patients before surgery and there was significant improvement 2 weeks after surgery (32.8 ± 2.5%vs 18.3 ± 2.8%, P= 0.001). The change in ICG retention levels correlated with the serum bilirubin levels but the pre-operative ICG retention value could not predict postoperative morbidity and mortality. The aminopyrine breath test was abnormal in all but one patient. It correlated with pre-operative prothrombin time of the patients before surgery but it did not improve significantly after surgery and was not predictive of postoperative outcome. It is concluded that both ICG retention and aminopyrine breath tests have limited clinical value in the pre-operative evaluation of patients with malignant biliary obstruction.     

脆性X综合征中不稳定的DNA序列和异常甲基化研究

采用ＰＣＲ结合序列胶分析的方法，对８２条正常中国人Ｘ染色体ＦＲＡＸＡ位点（ＣＧＧ）ｎ重复序列拷贝数的多态性进行了测定，其范围为２１～３１，高峰为２７。并通过Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交分析了来自６个Ｆｒａ（Ｘ）家系的１５名成员（ＣＧＧ）ｎ的拷贝数与该重复序列上游ＣｐＧ岛的甲基化状态。Ｆｒａ（Ｘ）患者（ＣＧＧ）ｎ大量扩增并伴随ＣｐＧ岛异常甲基化。Ｆｒａ（Ｘ）携带者女性（ＣＧＧ）ｎ扩增较少，有嵌合现象。其子代或产生更大扩增，或保持原来状态，呈动态突变遗传特征。     

正常人在静态和运动状态下"死腔/潮气"估测值和实测值的比较

目的研究正常人静态及运动状态下死腔/潮气(VD/VT)估测值和实测值的关系.方法23名受试者行心肺运动试验,同步实时测定摄氧量和二氧化碳排出量,分别在运动前及运动高峰时抽取动脉血,根据Bohr的公式,得出VD/VT实测值,同时再用呼气末CO2分压(PetCO2)代替PaCO2,计算VD/VT,得出VD/VT估测值.结果根据病史、体检、肺功能和运动前后的心电图判断23名受试者均为正常受试者.静态时的VD/VT估测值和VD/VT实测值分别为0.359±0.109和0.354±O.106,两者无显著性差异(P=0.710),相关分析显示两者高度相关(r=0.911,P＜0.001).运动高峰时的VD/VT估测值和VD/VT实测值分别为0.234±0.070和0.248±0.094,两者无显著性差异(P=0.748),相关分析表明两者显著相关(r=0.783,P＜0.001).与静态时比较,运动时估测和实测VD/VT均明显下降.结论对于正常成人,无论是在静态或最大运动状态下,可用无创方法计算VD/VT代替VD/VT实测值.

青年性腰椎弓根崩裂直接修复后TSRH钩钉系统固定12例初步报告

[目的]评价TSRH钩钉系统对青年患者腰椎弓崩裂直接修复后固定的临床疗效。[方法]自2001年7月~2003年10月,对12例男性单纯腰椎弓崩裂患者(16~31周岁)行腰椎弓崩裂自体骨直接修复峡部裂后TSRH椎板钩、椎弓根钉固定术。术后随访,根据术后X线、CT结果评价修复效果,并根据MacNab's标准进行临床评价。[结果]经过6~19个月随访,所有患者腰椎弓崩裂影像学全部融合;临床下腰痛显著缓解,按MacNab's标准,优8例,良3例,一般1例;无手术及内固定相关并发症发生。[结论]直接修复后TSRH钩钉系统固定治疗青年性腰椎弓崩裂能充分保留腰椎运动节段,在减少融合节段的同时能有效恢复腰椎稳定,操作简便、安全,固定可靠,是一种合乎逻辑的治疗青年性腰椎弓崩裂方法。
