Rat model of distraction osteogenesis

Prior studies of distraction osteogenesis in dog and rabbit models have shown predominantly intramembranous bone formation. Other models of fracture healing normally display mixtures of both endochondral and intramembranous bone formation. We have established a rat model of tibial lengthening that reliably reproduces the pattern of zonal osteogenesis previously observed in dog and rabbit models. A distraction rate of 0.25 mm twice a day with a 0-day latency period produced intramembranous bone with zones of progressive mineralization from collagen. With this protocol, rats bridged the distraction gap with a 25% increase in the tibial bone length. After 20 days of distraction and 50 days of consolidation, the three-point bending stiffness, as a percentage of the contralateral control, reached a level equivalent to that measured in the canine model for a 15% lengthening (28-day distraction and 84-day consolidation). Radiodensitometric analysis of the regenerate bones measured 97% of the unaffected contralateral tibial densities, and mineral analyses demonstrated that calcium and phosphorus levels in the regenerate bone reached 78% of contralateral tibial levels by day 70. We concluded that a rat model of distraction ostegenesis will be useful for a wide range of studies involving rapid intramembranous bone formation.

Reversal of diastolic cerebral blood flow in infants without brain death

The reversal of diastolic cerebral blood flow has been regarded as a characteristic waveform of brain death and a useful confirming sign. We report 2 patients who had diastolic flow reversal but survived. One, a 1-month-old boy with status epilepticus, had reversal of diastolic cerebral blood flow detected by Doppler ultrasound soon after admission. Reversal disappeared after medical management for increased intracranial pressure and seizure control. He recovered without sequelae. The other, a 6-month-old girl with choroid plexus papilloma, had reversal of diastolic flow during abrupt clinical deterioration. Emergent surgical removal of the tumor was performed and she survived with hemiparesis and psychomotor retardation. Our patients demonstrated that even in the presence of diastolic reversal of cerebral blood flow, prompt and effective treatment can avoid a fatal outcome.     

SELECTIVE IgA DEFICIENCY PRESENTING WITH HYPERSPLENISM

SUMMARY A young patient presenting with splenomegaly and hypersplenism was inadvertently found to have selective IgA deficiency. There were no symptoms of immunodeficiency and the patient responded well to splenectomy, with return of blood counts to normal without adverse effects. No other cause for the hypersplenism was found. We postulate selective IgA deficiency as a cause of splenomegaly and hypersplenism.     

类风湿因子IgM-RF、IgG-RF和IgA-RF的临床意义分析

目的　探讨 3种类风湿因子 (RF)诊断类风湿关节炎 (RA)、反映病情活动度和疗效的临床意义。方法对关节痛 /关节炎 (A组 )、确诊的RA (B组 )、其它免疫结缔组织病 (C组 )患者和正常人 (D组 )共 6 18例用酶联免疫法进行 3种RF的动态检测并随访观察。结果　 4组人群中 3种RF的阳性率和浓度以B组最高 [IgM RF为 92 4 % ,(182 5± 5 1 4 )IU/ml;IgG RF为 6 7 8% ,(2 2 9 7± 75 6 )IU/ml;IgA RF为 78 8% ,(2 35 8± 80 7)IU/ml],组间比较依次为B组 >A组 >C和D组 (均为P <0 0 5 )。B组中高活动期RA患者的 3种RF浓度明显高于其它 3组 (P <0 0 5 ) ,IgM RF和IgA RF在稳定期和低活动期较高活动期均明显降低 (均为P <0 0 5 ) ,而IgG RF变化无显著性。随访 3～ 18个月 ,A组中最后确诊为RA的比率以 3种RF同时阳性者最高 (10 0 0 % ) ,2种RF同时阳性者次之(90 9%～ 93 3% ) ,以单一RF作比较则IgG RF >IgA RF >IgM RF阳性者。结论　早期诊断RA以IgM RF的敏感性最高 ,以IgG RF的特异性最高 ,任何 2种以上RF阳性可提高RA诊断的可靠性 ,RF浓度可作为判断RA活动度及药物治疗效果的指标之一。     

中国食管癌高发区食管原发性腺癌组织病理学研究Ⅰ．食管原发性腺癌的临床病理学分析

中国食管癌高发区河南省近１５年（１９８０～１９９４）病理确诊的７３６４例食管癌中，其中食管原发性腺癌（ＰＥＡ）２３９例，占３．２５％。通过对２３９例ＰＥＡ手术标本（包括早期癌２０例，其余为中、晚期癌）切片系统观察，指出中国食管癌高发区ＰＥＡ主要起源于食管固有腺体的各级导管部分。ＰＥＡ的病理组织学可分６型：腺导管癌（１０９例）、腺鳞癌（５４例）、腺样囊性癌（２９例）、粘液表皮样癌（２０例）、基底细胞样癌（１５例）、胃型腺癌（１２例）。每型的组织图象及预后均各有特点，提示ＰＥＡ组织学再分型有意义。

Application of median-effect in quantitative analysis of antitumor drugs in vitro

Objective: To analyze quantitatively the synergistic and antagonistic effects of combined oxymatrine (OMT) and 5-fluorouracil (5-GU) on a cell line of human liver cancer (HepG2) with median-effect principle in vitro. Methods: The median-effect principle and MTT method were used in the quantitative analysis of effects of the two drugs. Results: Cytotoxic activity of the individual drugs enhanced as drug concentration increased. As fa=0.41, a CI equal to 1 indicated additivity; fa<0.41, a CI less than 1 indicated synergy; and fa>0.41, a CI greater than 1 indicated antagonism. The sequence of administration did not influence the cytotoxic activity of the combined antitumor drugs. The ratio of drug concentration was a factor that can influence the killing effect. Conclusion: The combined drugs interaction (CI<1) was synergistic at lower concentration and antagonistic at higher concentration. The ratio of drug concentration is a factor that can influence the killing effect. Biography: HE Song(1965–), male, doctor of medicine, associate professor, Chongqing Medical University, majors in gastroenterology.
