Infantile spasms. A retrospective study of 105 cases.

This paper is a summary of our observations on 105 cases of infantile spasms. The age of onset was around six months after birth, but the patients came for treatment mainly about one year after onset. Fever of unknown cause, asphyxia, birth injury, infection of the central nervous system, tuberous sclerosis, phenylketonuria and recent immunization etc. were complained. Clinically, it is characterized by head nodding, mental retardation, myoclonic jerks and various neurologic deficits. EEG findings showed classical or modified arrythmia or other epileptiform patterns. About one third of 22 cases examined had abnormal brain stem auditory evoked potentials. Among 42 patients who underwent CT scanning before ACTH treatment, 18 were normal and 7 abnormal; during ACTH treatment 3 normal and 4 abnormal; after completion of treatment, 4 normal and 6 abnormal, suggesting no further atrophy of the brain. Examination of trace elements of the hair by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method in 23 patients revealed a significant difference in lead, calcium and zinc contents between patients and 101 controls, but no statistical difference in iron and copper contents between the two groups. Sodium valproate, prednisone and ACTH appear to be effective in the treatment of infantile spasms. Eight patients fully recovered, and they can go to school without difficulty. Many patients derived various degrees of improvement to the satisfaction of their parents. Two patients were still amented and often attacked by myoclonus. The effects, side effects of these drugs, and the possible pathogenesis were discussed.

     

小骨窗术和碎吸术治疗脑出血的临床应用研究

目的对比研究颅内血肿小骨窗清除术和颅内血肿(钻孔)碎吸清除术治疗脑出血的疗效。方法87例脑出血患者分为小骨窗组(行颅内血肿小骨窗清除术)、碎吸组(行颅内血肿碎吸清除术)和对照组(行内科保守治疗)。分别比较小骨窗组、碎吸组、保守组治疗前后的GCS评分及3组的GCS评分差。采用t检验、χ2检验和单因素方差分析比较。结果小骨窗组、碎吸组与保守组的GCS评分差比较均有差异(P<0.05);小骨窗组和碎吸组的GCS评分差比较也有差异(P<0.05)。结论小骨窗颅内血肿清除术、碎吸颅内血肿清除术、内科保守疗法在脑出血治疗中均能发挥一定的作用。小骨窗术和碎吸术在治疗中均能提高疗效、加快神经功能恢复,但小骨窗术较碎吸术能更好地发挥疗效、提高病人的生存质量。     

The influence of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the retraction of collagen lattices.

The effects of some antirheumatics on the formation and retraction of collagen lattices seeded with fibroblasts have been studied. Among the antirheumatics, diclofenac was the most active inhibitor of lattice retraction, then tropesin and to a lesser extent indomethacin. Ibuprofen which is known as a very slight inhibitor of protein synthesis was able to significantly enhance lattice retraction when 10 micrograms/ml (48.5 microM) and 50 micrograms/ml (242 microM) were used.     

巨噬细胞移动抑制因子与鼻咽癌微血管生成和淋巴结转移的关系

[目的]研究巨噬细胞移动抑制因子(macrophage migration inhibitory factor,MIF)和血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)在鼻咽癌组织中的表达水平及其与肿瘤新生血管的关系,探讨细胞因子在鼻咽癌细胞侵袭转移过程中的作用.[方法]收集1999-2003年期间45例确诊未治的鼻咽原发癌活检组织标本,用LSAB免疫组化法检测鼻咽癌组织中MIF和VEGF表达,计数癌组织中新生血管热区的CD34阳性微血管密度(intratumoral microvessel density,IMD),并将各检测指标与患者的病理及临床资料相联系.[结果]鼻咽原发癌组织中,癌细胞MIF和VEGF的阳性表达率分别为78%(35/45)和71%(32/45),伴有淋巴结转移的癌组织中MIF和IMD水平均高于无淋巴结转移的癌组织,P=0.029,P=0.026,MIF阳性组的IMD计数为(35.1±13.3)/高倍视野,明显高于MIF阴性病例的(20.9±10.2)/高倍视野,P=0.003.以Schmincke型生长方式分布的癌细胞MIF表达水平(67.4%±35.2%)高于以Regaud型方式分布的癌细胞(32.9%±29.7%),P=0.007.癌细胞MIF与VEGF表达以及IMD计数均显示正相关关系,P＜0.05.但癌细胞VEGF的表达与患者性别、年龄、病理组织学分型以及临床分期无统计学显著意义.[结论]MIF在鼻咽癌细胞的淋巴结转移过程中可能具有重要的促进作用,并可能是影响肿瘤性微血管生成和癌细胞VEGF表达的重要因素.     

综合实践教学模式的实施与护生综合能力的培养

目的在《护理学基础》教学中，运用整体护理思维，探讨课堂综合实践教学模式的实效性，以提高护生的职业素质和能力。方法随机确定实验班和对照班，对照班采取传统的实践教学模式授课，实验班采取小群体综合实践模式教学。结果实验班护生的规范操作能力、沟通能力和知识运用能力与对照班比较有显著提高。结论小群体综合实践教学模式对护生综合能力的培养具有实际意义。     

雌二醇对不同性质的乳腺原代细胞增殖影响的体外研究

目的了解在体外条件下不同浓度的雌二醇对不同性质的乳腺组织原代细胞增殖的影响。方法用胶原酶消化法获取乳腺癌患者的各类乳腺组织原代细胞，并用MTT法检测乳腺癌组织、癌旁组织和正常乳腺组织原代细胞在体外培养下，给予不同浓度雌二醇时细胞的生长增殖情况。结果雌激素在体外对雌激素受体（ER）表达阳性的乳腺癌组织及癌旁组织原代细胞有明显的刺激生长作用；对正常乳腺组织细胞的促生长作用相对较弱，而且与肿瘤组织的ER表达情况无关。结论当体内的雌二醇水平≥10μmol／L时，乳腺癌的发病风险和复发风险会显著增加。     

磁共振胆胰管造影在梗阻性黄疸诊断和治疗中的作用

目的：探讨磁共振胆胰管造影(MRCP)对梗阻性黄疸患梗阻定位和定性的诊断价值及对治疗的指导意义。方法：对48例梗阻性黄疸的患进行MRCP检查，34例(70．8％)行手术治疗，14例(29．2％)行非手术治疗。结果：48例患中45例(93．8％)可通过MRCP明确诊断，并经手术或临床证实；2例(4．1％)硬化性胆管炎需结合其他临床资料做出诊断；1例(2．1％)胆总管结石误诊为胆管癌。结论：MRCP对胆道疾患诊断具有无创性、高灵敏度、高准确率等优点，能为梗阻性黄疸患临床治疗提供有效依据。
