瘢痕成纤维细胞中TGF-β受体与整合素相互作用的实验研究

目的:了解TGF-β受体和整合素在瘢痕增生和挛缩过程中的作用.方法:通过荧光定量PCR法(FQ-PCR)测定经TGF-β受体、整合素和粘着斑激酶(FAK)抗体阻断后培养的瘢痕成纤维细胞TGF-β受体以及整合素表达量的变化.结果:经不同抗体阻断后培养的瘢痕成纤维细胞其TGF-β RI和整合素β 1的基因拷贝数均较阴性对照组有不同程度的下降(P＜0.05).结论:TGF-β受体和整合素介导的信号传导途径间可能存在着正反馈的效应,共同促进瘢痕的增生和挛缩.FAK是两条信号传导途径的交汇点和作用的中心环节.     

Fractal analysis of the PDL-bone interface and implications for orthodontic tooth movement

BACKGROUND: The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a soft tissue interposed between the tooth and the alveolar bone. It is responsible for transmission of forces in vivo; this promotes bone remodeling. The purpose our study was to use fractal analysis to quantify the complex morphology of the PDL-bone interface. METHODS: We used Scion Image (Scion Corp, Frederick, Md) and Benoit fractal analysis (Tru Soft International, St. Petersburg, Fla) programs to calculate the fractal dimension of the PDL-bone interface in rats via the box-counting method. Rats in the experimental groups received an initial force of 0.1N or 0.5N with customized springs for 6 hours. RESULTS: Our studies showed an increase in normal fractal dimension at the root apices of the rats' maxillary molars. We also found evidence that the fractal dimension varies along the entire root length from the apex to the cementoenamel junction. CONCLUSIONS: Mechanical loading might lead to an increase in fractal dimension at the PDL-bone interface apart from mechanisms of bone cell directed remodeling. These changes in fractal dimension are proportional to loading and could provide a new parameter for force determination in orthodontic tooth movement.     

泰素蒂加顺铂治疗进展期NSCLC的临床研究

目的观察泰素蒂加顺铂方案治疗进展期非小细胞肺癌的临床疗效、毒副作用。方法收集可评价疗效的进展期非小细胞肺癌50例,以泰素蒂加顺铂方案进行化疗,泰素蒂75 mg/m2静脉滴注,第1天;顺铂25 mg/m2～30 mg/m2静脉滴注,第2天～第5天,每3周为一个周期,2～3周期后评价疗效和毒副反应并随访。结果50例患者中,总有效率为50.0 %,其中初治病例为53.1 %,复治病例为44.4 %,初复治病例间差异无显著性(P >0.05)。中位缓解期为5个月。中位生存期为9.5个月,1年生存率为61.0 %。毒副反应主要为骨髓抑制,白细胞下降达Ⅲ度、Ⅳ度者52.0 %,血小板下降达Ⅲ度、Ⅳ度者为14.0 %。血红蛋白下降不严重。其他毒副反应还有脱发、过敏反应、水钠潴留、静脉炎、末梢神经炎、口腔炎、腹泻等,但发生率均较低。结论泰素蒂加顺铂方案治疗进展期非小细胞肺癌,特别是复发病例,临床疗效比较满意,毒副反应能够耐受。辅以G蛳CSF可防治重度的骨髓抑制,有较好的临床应用价值。     

A PC-based free text retrieval system for health care providers

The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and development of the Clinical Practice Library of Medicine (CPLM). CPLM is an investigational project aimed at providing health care practitioners with critical in-depth information similar to that obtained from a medical reference library or consultant. When used in conjunction with the physician's knowledge, CPLM can provide valuable diagnostic prompting information to assist in rapidly reaching a suitable diagnosis for timely administration of appropriate treatment. This system may also be used to assist paramedical professionals working in remote areas where other expert medical assistance may not be available.

Use of a computer-based health risk appraisal by older adults

BACKGROUND. A health risk appraisal (HRA) is a tool for health promotion. Conversational microcomputer-based HRAs may be more cost effective than other HRA formats. The acceptability of conversational HRAs, however, has not been demonstrated for older adults. METHODS. We studied the acceptability of a conversational microcomputer-based HRA in a sample of 247 adults at the Minnesota State Fair and the Senior Options Exposition. All users were offered the appraisal via mouse or keyboard interface. Acceptability was measured in terms of user-reported helpfulness, intent to change, time of use, and willingness to view HRA health recommendations. Data on completion time and willingness to view HRA recommendations were collected for Senior Exposition users only. Regression analyses were used to examine the combined impact of interface (mouse or keyboard), location (State Fair or Senior Exposition), age, and sex on user acceptability. Results. Interface and location had no effect on helpfulness or change ratings. Older users rated the appraisal more helpful (P less than .007). Both older and female users reported more intent to change behavior (P = .016, both). Time to use the appraisal was related to interface, age, and sex. Mouse users (P less than .0001), older users (P less than .0001) and female users (P less than .05) took significantly longer to use the appraisal. Significantly more mouse users declined to see recommendations (P less than .02). CONCLUSIONS. Older users can derive as much or more value from conversational health risk appraisals as younger users; however, a mouse interface may be less effective for this age group.     

Partial purification and osteoinductive activity of swine bone morphogenetic protein.

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) was isolated from the bone matrix of swine and partially purified by means of differential precipitation and molecular sieve chromatography. The molecular weight of BMP estimated by SDS-gel electrophoresis was 19,000 dalton. Bioassay by implanting two milligrams of BMP fraction into thigh muscles of mice resulted in bone formation in 100% of the experimental animals.
