A constrained tracking algorithm to optimize plug patterns in multiple isocenter gamma knife radiosurgery planning

We developed a source blocking optimization algorithm for Gamma Knife radiosurgery, which is based on tracking individual source contributions to arbitrarily shaped target and critical structure volumes. A scalar objective function and a direct search algorithm were used to produce near real-time calculation results. The algorithm allows the user to set and vary the total number of plugs for each shot to limit the total beam-on time. We implemented and tested the algorithm for several multiple-isocenter Gamma Knife cases. It was found that the use of limited number of plugs significantly lowered the integral dose to the critical structures such as an optical chiasm in pituitary adenoma cases. The main effect of the source blocking is the faster dose falloff in the junction area between the target and the critical structure. In summary, we demonstrated a useful source-plugging algorithm for improving complex multi-isocenter Gamma Knife treatment planning cases.     

皮下通道型胆囊肝胆管成形术治疗肝胆管结石 和胆管狭窄的临床研究

目的：总结皮下通道型胆囊肝胆管成形术的临床效果。方法：统计了1994年以来我院76例行STHG手术患者的适应症、临床效果及术后早期并发症。并选择同期实施的125 列行传统胆肠吻合（CJ）的患者进行对照。结果：STHG的手术适应症与传统胆肠吻合基本相同;STHG组患者的手术时间、住院时间、术中出血量明显少于CJ组,术后恢复良好,仅2例次并发症。结论;该术式既保存了胆囊及Oddi括约肌功能,又保证了胆汁的生理流向;防止了肠液的反,所以避免了消化功能紊乱,防止了反 流性胆管炎,对患者的影响小,是一种较为理想的治疗肝胆管结石和肝门胆管狭窄的术式。     

Specific cerebellar reductions in children with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Children with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome commonly are found to have morphological brain changes, cognitive impairments, and elevated rates of psychopathology. One of the most commonly and consistently reported brain changes is reduced cerebellar volume. Here, we demonstrate that, in addition to the global cerebellum reductions previously reported, volumetric reductions of the anterior lobule and the vermal region of the neo-cerebellum in the mid-sagittal plane best differentiate children with the deletion from typically developing children. These results suggest that the morphological changes of specific portions of the cerebellum may be an important underlying substrate of cognitive impairments and increased incidence of psychopathology in this group.     

CBN对脑缺血再灌注小鼠线粒体损伤的影响

目的：观察CBN对脑缺血再灌注小鼠的线粒体损伤的影响。方法：分离提纯脑缺血再灌注小鼠脑的线粒体。用分光光度法检测线粒体的膜肿胀度，用激光拉曼光谱检测脑线粒体的生物大分子的变化。结果：小鼠脑缺血再灌注后。其线粒体出现膜肿胀，CBN50、100mg／kg iv对此有明显的抑制作用。各组脑线粒体的Raman和IR光谱基本一致。CBN组与假手术组比较接近。模型组只是在量上有一些差异。结论：CBN对脑缺血再灌注小鼠的线粒体损伤的有一定的保护作用。     

芬太尼透皮贴剂治疗中重度癌痛433例临床观察

目的:进一步评价芬太尼透皮贴剂治疗中、重度疼痛的疗效、安全性及对生活质量的影响,为临床合理用药提供参考资料.方法:采用多中心随机开放方法,对433例中、重度疼痛患者使用芬太尼透皮贴剂进行观察,芬太尼的初始剂量是2.5mg或参照吗啡芬太尼折算表计算,贴膜每3日更换1次,在使用期间根据疼痛情况进行剂量调整,直到患者无痛或基本无痛.结果:可评价患者336例,其癌痛缓解率100%,41.6%的患者第1次使用后未再进行剂量调整,57.3%的患者调整过1～3次.芬太尼的中位剂量7.5mg,其中92.9%患者在2.5～10mg之内.不良反应轻,主要为恶心、便秘、头晕、呕吐、嗜睡、排尿困难等.治疗后生活质量有明显改善.结论:芬太尼透皮贴剂治疗中、重度疼痛的疗效显著,使用方便,不良反应轻,能明显改善患者的生活质量,绝大多数患者的调整次数在3次以内,大多数患者的使用剂量在每3天2.5～10mg.     

Infants born to narcotic dependent mothers: Physical growth patterns in the first 12 months of life

Objectives: To describe the physical growth patterns of infants born to narcotic dependent mothers (INDM) over a 12 months period and, if possible, to relate the growth to drug taking patterns during pregnancy.
Methodology: The growth of a cohort of 43 INDM was measured during the first 12 months of life. Weight and length measurements were compared with percentile charts and converted to Z scores. Questionnaire data about drug taking practices, demographic variables and the neonatal period (including withdrawal scores) were obtained.
Results: Twenty-four (55.8%) of INDM had evidence of neonatal drug withdrawal requiring treatment with phenobarbitone. At birth, Z scores for weight and length indicated relative intrauterine growth retardation. By 12 months, there had been some catch up growth, but Z scores for weight and length were still below zero. Persistent weight retardation at 12 months was correlated with methadone dosage during pregnancy, but not the need for phenobarbitone therapy.
Conclusions: The growth patterns of INDM in the first 12 months of life indicated that at birth there was evidence of intrauterine growth retardation, but by 12 months the growth was little different from the rest of the community. There appears to be some influence of narcotic agents taken while pregnant on subsequent growth of INDM.     

利用"分层法"评价中药复杂体系药效时有关权重设立的讨论

本文讨论了以分层法进行中药药效评价时权重设立的问题，主要由以下几部分组成：1．建立递阶层次结构；2．构造两两比较判断矩阵；3．计算单一准则下元素的相对权重；4．计算各层元素的组合权重。由于中药作用具有多途径、多靶点的特性，因此评价过程中权重的设立就占有重要位置。它直接影响对被评价对象药效作用的评判。全面解决中药作用多途径、多靶点药效学评价的数学方法，客观量化的评价中药的综合药效，是中药现代化进程中一个值得研讨的命题。
