MR评价垂体腺瘤质地及与其胶原含量的关系

目的利用MR测量垂体腺瘤不同质地的信号强度,并分析其与肿瘤胶原含量间的关系。方法57例经手术证实的垂体腺瘤标本,术前均行MR检查,根据术中肿瘤硬度分为质地韧组(8例)与质地软组(49例),标本行天狼猩红染色检测其胶原含量。结果纤维化与非纤维化组T1WI瘤体/灰质信号强度比分别为1.31±0.31、1.16±0.26;T1WI瘤体/白质信号强度比分别为1.01±0.25、0.91±0.18,两组间差异无统计学意义(P(0.05);T1+WI瘤体/灰质信号强度比分别为1.83±0.28、1.84±0.51;T1+WI瘤体/白质信号强度比分别为1.56±0.24、1.46±0.37,两组间差异无统计学意义(P(0.05);T2WI瘤体/灰质信号强度比分别为1.15±0.26、1.57±0.46(P(0.05);T2WI瘤体/白质信号强度比分别为1.48±0.39、2.10±0.61,两组间有统计学意义(P(0.01);胶原含量分别为20.03%±7.99%、7.87%±4.82%,两组间有统计学意义(P<0.01);且T2WI瘤体/灰质、T2WI瘤体/白质与胶原含量呈显著负相关(r=-0.531、r=-0.726,P均(0.01)。结论术前MR可以预测垂体腺瘤的质地;其中以T2WI瘤体/白质为预测指标为最佳。胶原含量影响垂体腺瘤质地,MRI上T2WI可以反映其胶原含量的多少。     

Bilateral Implantation of Centromedian‐Parafascicularis Complex and GPi: A New Combination of Unconventional Targets for Deep Brain Stimulation in Severe Parkinson Disease

Objectives. Traditional deep brain stimulation (DBS) at the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has proved to be efficacious on core Parkinsonian symptoms. However, very disabling l ‐dopa–induced abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) and axial signs are slightly affected, suggesting that we target less conventional targets. Our candidates for DBS were the globus pallidus internus (GPi) plus the intralaminar thalamic complex (Pf or CM), given its extensive functional links with basal ganglia nuclei. Materials and Methods. The routine utilization of our innovative stereotactic apparatus allows us to implant, at the same time, both the CM‐Pf complex together with the GPi in six Parkinson disease patients. Both intraoperative and postoperative neurophysiologic assessments helped us recognize functional subregions while optimizing implantation of electrodes. Unified Parkinson disease rating scale (UPDRS) motor scores, AIMs, and freezing were carefully blindly evaluated for each condition. Results. A significant amelioration of UPDRS scores was achieved by simultaneous activation of both targets. CM‐Pf activation was only slightly effective in reducing rigidity and akinesia, but more efficacious on freezing. Not surprisingly, AIMs were peculiarly decreased by the activation of the permanent electro‐catheter in the posteroventral GPi. Conclusions. These findings confirm that, in selected patients, it is conceivable to target structures other than the conventional STN in order to maximize clinical benefit.     

高同型半胱氨酸血症与脑卒中相关性研究

目的探讨血浆同型半胱氨酸(H cy)水平对脑卒中临床亚型、复发及痴呆的影响,并研究高同型半胱氨酸血症(HH)与脑卒中传统危险因素之间的相关性。方法应用酶联免疫吸附试验(EL ISA)检测90例急性脑卒中患者血浆H cy水平。将研究对象分为不同临床亚型,脑白质损伤组与非脑白质损伤组,青年组与老年组,痴呆组与非痴呆组。对不同类型脑卒中患者血浆H cy水平进行比较,对HH脑卒中传统危险因素进行相关与回归分析。结果首次发作(FCS)组血浆H cy水平明显低于复发(RCS)组(P<0.01),HH发生率比较RCS组明显高于FCS组(P<0.05)。痴呆组血浆H cy水平与对照组有差别(P<0.01)。饮酒者血浆H cy含量明显高于不摄入酒精者(P<0.05)。结论HH是脑卒中的独立危险因素,脑卒中患者普遍存在HH,在复发性脑卒中患者中尤其明显。血浆H cy水平随年龄增加而增加,同时HH与血管性痴呆和/或变性性痴呆有关。

Food preservatives sodium sulfite and sorbic acid suppress mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Antioxidant preservatives prolong the quality of food and ensure the nutritional adequacy, palatability and safety of many processed foods and beverages. Effects of sodium sulfite (E221) and sorbic acid (E200) were investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) which were purified from blood of healthy donors. Cells were stimulated with the mitogen phytohaemagglutinin in vitro, which induces proliferation of T-cells and the production of Th1-type cytokines like interferon-γ. The latter triggers enzyme indoleamine (2,3)-dioxygenase, which degrades tryptophan, and GTP cyclohydrolase I, which leads to increased neopterin production, in monocyte-derived macrophages. Sodium sulfite and sorbic acid suppressed both these biochemical changes in a dose-dependent way (P < 0.01 at 1 mM sodium sulfite and 50 mM sorbic acid). Data demonstrate a suppressive influence of sodium sulfite and sorbic acid on the activated Th1-type immune response.

LONG‐TERM FOLLOW UP OF PATIENTS WITH SMALL GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMORS IN THE STOMACH USING ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY‐GUIDED FINE‐NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are one of the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. GIST are defined by positive immunohistochemical staining for KIT or CD34 and thus are generally diagnosed after surgery. Because small GIST are rarely diagnosed before surgery, the clinical course of these small tumors is not clear. The aim of the present study was to follow changes in size and configuration of small GIST that were pathologically confirmed using endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNAB). Methods: Between July 1997 and December 2003, 16 tumors in 16 patients (10 men and 6 women) with an immunohistochemical diagnosis of GIST were regularly followed in our hospital. The median patient age when EUS‐FNAB was performed was 62 years (range 26–82 years) and the median follow‐up period was 4.9 years (range 0.5–9.6 years). Results: Fourteen tumors showed no remarkable changes in size and shape during follow up compared with the initial diagnosis. Two tumors enlarged: one tumor approximately doubled its diameter in 8 years and the other tumor increased from 1.8 cm at diagnosis to up to 10 cm after only 2 years. Doubling time of the latter tumor was calculated as 3.1 months. Conclusions: We conclude that EUS‐FNAB might be a good modality for final diagnosis of GIST without surgery, and that GIST without rapid growth on follow up can be endoscopically followed.
