膜荚黄芪毛状根中异黄酮成分的反相高效液相色谱分析

对膜荚黄芪毛状根中6种异黄酮成分进行了反相高效液相色谱法测定。色谱柱为NucleosilC₁₈柱,流动相为甲醇—水(3∶2和3∶1,v/v),检测波长为254nm和280nm。6种异黄酮成分为:10-羟基-3,9-二甲氧基紫檀烷,(3R)8,2’-二羟基-7,4’-二甲氧基异黄烷,芒柄花素(7-羟基-4’-甲氧基异黄酮),8,3’-二羟基-7,4’-二甲氧基异黄酮,2’-羟基-3’,4’-二甲氧基异黄烷-7-O-葡萄吡喃糖甙,毛蕊异黄酮(7,3’-二羟基-4’-甲氧基异黄酮)。异黄酮浓度在2.5～12.5μg范围内与峰面积有良好的线性关系;加样回收率为96.47%～103.33%;精密度试验相对标准偏差为2.57%～6.52%;测得黄芪毛状根中6种异黄酮成分的含量在0.0005%～0.0065%之间。     

紫胡皂甙的高效液相色谱分离与测定

建立了高效液相色谱法，应用反相柱，以甲醇－水（６６∶３４）为流动相，分离了柴胡中的主要有效成分柴胡皂甙ａ、ｃ、ｄ（Ｓａｉｋｏｓａｐｏｎｉｎａ，ｃ，ｄ）并用紫外法进行含量测定。     

Observation on 108 Normal Ophthalmic Arteries in 80 Patients by Digital Subtraction Angiography

By digital subtraction angiography(DSA), the authors made observations on 108 normal ophthalmic arteries in 80 patients with regard to the origins, courses, branching, morphology and anastomoses of the vessels. The merits and demerits of DSA in observing the ophthalmic artery were discussed. Eye Science 1994; 10: 157- 162.     

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus and the orbital apex syndrome

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) commonly causes isolated ophthalmoplegic syndromes. Visual loss caused by optic neuritis secondary to HZO can be reversible or irreversible. HZO rarely presents as an orbital apex syndrome, when an association with meningo-encephalitis has been reported. We report a case of orbital apex syndrome secondary to HZO treated with systemic steroids and acyclovir. Our patient suffered no systemic complications and displayed a rapid resolution of optic neuropathy. We discuss this case in the light of previous reports and explore the possible pathogenic mechanisms involved.     

Suppurative corneal ulceration in Bangladesh

Suppurative keratitis is an important preventable cause of blindness, particularly in the developing world. This study analyses 142 cases of suppurative keratitis referred to Chittagong Eye Infirmary, Bangladesh. Some 53.5% of cases were bacterial and 35.9% were fungal. The five most common pathogens were: Pseudomonas sp. 24%, Streptococcus pneumoniae 17%, Aspergillus sp. 13%, Fusarium sp. 7% and Curvularia sp. 6%. Gram stain and culture results were consistent in 62.6% of cases. Previous antibiotic treatment was a significant factor for failure of culture isolation and less so for Gram stain failure. On Gram stain, 55.9% of pseudomonal cases were missed, but only 2% of fungal cases were missed. Over all, Gram stain had a sensitivity of 62% and positive predictive value of 84% for bacterial cases, and 98% and 94% for fungal cases, respectively. Fungal ulcers were typically filamentous, but an antecedent history of trauma was not common. The most frequent injury was due to rice grains, but the inoculum appeared to be introduced during eye washing with contaminated water. Pseudomonal ulcers occurred most frequently in the monsoon season, and Fusarium cases were seen only in the hot, dry season.     

Desmoplastic malignant melanoma presenting with orbital involvement

Desmoplastic malignant melanoma (DMM) is a rare variant of spindle cell melanoma. We report a case of DMM of the forehead secondarily involving the orbit. The diagnosis was based on light microscopic features, including prominent peripheral cell nest formation and spindle cell fascicles in densely collagenous stroma. Immunohistochemical studies showed strong uniform staining for S100 antigen throughout the tumour. It was negative for HMB 45, smooth muscle actin, desmin, cytokeratins and Type IV collagen. Electron microscopy showed neither melanosomes nor myelin figures. The clinical and histological characteristics of desmoplastic malignant melanoma, and its differential diagnosis of malignant schwannoma, are discussed. DMM has a poor prognosis, since it tends to invade deeply, recur locally and metastasise readily.     

Uveal effusion syndrome

The history and clinical findings are presented of a patient who suffered from the uveal effusion syndrome over a 10-year period from 1956. The funduscopic appearance is illustrated both at the time of initial presentation and 36 years later. This condition typically affects healthy middle-aged men and causes recurrent, spontaneous, serous retinal and ciliochoroidal detachments, often resulting in significant visual impairment. Two separate hypotheses have been postulated to explain the pathogenesis of the uveal effusion syndrome, one relating to abnormally thickened sclera, the other to chronic bulbar hypotony. Both are discussed, as is the rationale behind the current management of this unusual condition.     

氟对人体T细胞数目的影响及硼砂拮抗作用的观察

将３８例地氟病人分为硼砂治疗组和治疗对照组，通过对病人外周血Ｔ淋巴细胞亚群含量的检测，观察了氟对人体Ｔ３、Ｔ４、Ｔ８淋巴细胞含量的影响以及硼砂的拮抗作用。结果表明，在本研究条件下，地氟病人外周血Ｔ３、Ｔ４淋巴细胞数目明显减少，硼砂对此变化无明显的拮抗作用。     

汽车驾驶员心电多相频谱分析

对１１７例汽车司机应用ＨＢＤ－１心电多信息诊断仪进行心电多相频谱分析，其功率谱，传递相移，幅度直方图等五项指标总分阳性率明显高于对照组，随着驾车年限的增加，总分阳性率有升高趋势，心电频谱分析对２３０例冠心病病人阳性检出率８４．７８％。研究认为汽车司机是易发高血压，冠心病的危险人群，该方法在冠心病的环境流行病学研究中具有重要的临床，亚临床意义。
