2‐deoxy D‐glucose treatment does not elicit a hair growth response in alopecia areata

2‐deoxy D‐glucose (2DG) was tested for efficacy in treating alopecia areata using the C3H/HeJ skin graft model. 2DG has proven to be efficacious in treatment of various mouse models of autoimmunity with minimal serious side effects noted. This agent has been shown to normalize abnormally activated T‐cell populations while also preventing cell surface expression of NKG2D; key factors defining alopecia areata disease progression. Daily oral ingestion of 2DG via drinking water to mice with patchy or diffuse alopecia areata for 16 weeks failed to prevent expansion of alopecia or cause regrowth of hair in treated mice. Histologically, there were no differences between treated and control groups. These results indicate that, while 2DG is effective for some autoimmune diseases, it was not efficacious for the cell‐mediated autoimmune mouse disease, alopecia areata.     

不同浓度氯氮平对小鼠空腹血糖和骨骼肌葡萄糖转运蛋白4基因表达的影响

目的探讨氯氮平对雄性C57BL/6小鼠空腹血糖和骨骼肌葡萄糖转运蛋白4(GLUT4)基因表达的影响。方法将63只雄性C57BL/6小鼠随机分为3组,每组21只,分别灌胃给予蒸馏水、氯氮平4mg/kg及氯氮平20mg/kg,于给药后3h、1周、4周以试纸法测定各组空腹血糖,用逆转录-聚合酶链反应测定GLUT4mRNA表达。结果(1)灌药后3h、1周氯氮平4mg/kg组和氯氮平20mg/kg组空腹血糖和GLUT4mRNA的表达与空白对照组相比,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);(2)灌药后4周氯氮平4mg/kg组和20mg/kg组的空腹血糖值[(5.6±0.5)mmol/L和(5.8±0.5)mmol/L]高于空白对照组[(4.6±0.6)mmol/L],而GLUT4mRNA的表达(0.50±0.14和0.48±0.12)却低于空白对照组(0.85±0.27),差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论氯氮平可以慢性升高空腹血糖,降低GLUT4mRNA的表达,可能是抗精神病药长期应用后血糖升高的发生机制之一。     

Kinetic modeling of PET-FDG in the brain without blood sampling

The aim in this work is to report a new method to calculate parametric images from a single scan acquisition with positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the human brain without blood sampling. It is usually practical for research or clinical purposes to inject the patient in an isolated room and to start the PET acquisition only for some 10–20 min, about 30 min after FDG injection. In order to calculate the cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (CMRG), usually several blood samples are required. The proposed method considers the relation between the uptake of the tracer in the cerebellum as a reference tissue and the population based input curve. Similar results were obtained for CMRG values with the present method in comparison to the usual autoradiographic and the non-linear least squares fitting of regions of interest.     

用患者样本进行方法学对比及在两种葡萄糖测定法中的应用

目的 用患者样本分析葡萄糖氧化酶-氧电极法(简称电极法)和己糖激酶(HK)法测定血清葡萄糖(GLU)时的偏倚。方法 依据美国临床实验室标准化委员舍(NCCLS)EP9—A文件，每天取患者样本8份，分别用两种方法测定血清葡萄糖含量，共测定5d，记录检验结果，去除离群点，计算线性方程和相关系数，并进行偏倚估计。结果 在进行患者葡萄糖测定时，电极法(Y)和HK法(X)测定结果的回归方程为：Y＝0．9857X 0．08967，r^2=0．9992；电极法和HK法测定结果的预期相对偏倚在GLU＝15mmo1／L时为0．80％，GLU＝9mmo1／L时为0．44％，GLU＝6mmo1／L时为0．00％，GLU＝3mmo1／L时为1．67％。结论 电极法和HK法测定血清葡萄糖时，测定结果在低浓度时偏倚较大，在中、高浓度时偏倚较小，两法间有良好的相关性。     

氯氮平、氟哌啶醇和氯丙嗪对慢性精神分裂症患者糖、脂代谢及体质量的影响

目的 探讨氯氮平、氟哌啶醇和氯丙嗪对慢性精神分裂症患者的糖、脂代谢和体质量的影响。方法 对服用氯氮平（89例，氯氮平组），服用氟哌啶醇（87例，氟哌啶醇组）及服用氯丙嗪（83例，氯丙嗪组）治疗的慢性精神分裂症患者于治疗前后的不同时间进行血糖、胰岛素、血脂及体质量测定，并做相关因素分析。结果 氯氮平组治疗第90天和第180天空腹血糖异常（空腹血浆血糖〉7.0mmo/L）的发生率分别为8％及24％，氟哌啶醇组分别为1％和2％，氯丙嗪组分别为1％及4％。治疗第90天氯氮平组和氯丙嗪组的空腹及餐后2h血糖浓度均较治疗前升高，治疗第180天的血糖浓度高于第90天，氟哌啶醇组各时点的变化则不明显；差异均有统计学意义（P均〈0．01）。治疗第90天，氯氮平组的体质量平均高于治疗前5．5％，氯丙嗪组高于治疗前4．8％；治疗第180天两组分别高于治疗前9．1％和7．4％；氟哌啶醇组则无明显变化；三组间的差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）。三组患者治疗第180天的胰岛素浓度均高于治疗前，差异均有统计学意义（P均〈0．01），但三组间的差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。氯氮平组和氯丙嗪组的胆固醇和甘油三酯浓度均高于治疗前，差异均有统计学意义（P均〈0．01），氟哌啶醇组则无明显变化。治疗第180天氯氮平组和氯丙嗪组患者血糖、胰岛素、血脂浓度与体质量均有一定相关性（r=0．23-0．39）；氯氮平组的血糖、体质量、血脂代谢还与血药浓度呈显著性相关（r=0．28-0．62），差异均有统计学意义（P〈0．05或〈0．01）。结论 氯氮平和氯丙嗪治疗影响慢性精神分裂症患者的糖、脂代谢及体质量。     

Frustration Intolerance Beliefs: Their Relationship with Depression, Anxiety, and Anger, in a Clinical Population

Beliefs regarding the toleration of frustration and discomfort are often described as underlying psychological disturbance, and represent a fundamental concept in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Nevertheless, there has been little systematic analysis of the content of these beliefs, which are often treated as a unidimensional construct. This paper investigates the relationship between a multidimensional Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS) and measures of depressed mood, anxiety, and anger, in a clinical population. Results indicated that FDS sub-scales were differentially related to specific emotions, independent of self-esteem and negative affect. The entitlement sub-scale was uniquely associated with anger, discomfort intolerance with depressed mood, and emotional intolerance with anxiety. These results supported the validity of the FDS, the importance of distinguishing between frustration intolerance dimensions, and of separating these beliefs from those related to self-worth.Copies of the Frustration Discomfort Scale are available from the author on request     

糖化血红蛋白及糖化血清蛋白与糖尿病肾功能衰竭患者的血糖监测

糖化血红蛋白(Hb)A1c是血糖监测的苇要指标,反映检测前2～3个月的平均血糖水平.慢性肾功能衰竭(CRF)患者存在贫血、酸中毒、氧化应激、胰岛素抵抗、血液透析及促红细胞生成素(EPO)的应用等因素,对HbA1c的测定会造成影响.糖化血清蛋白(GSP)反映检测前2～3周的平均血糖水平,仅受血浆蛋白的影响,几乎不受血红蛋白和EPO治疗等以上因素的影响,且对短时间内的血糖变化更为敏感.将GSP作为糖尿病肾功能衰竭患者血糖监测指标可能比HbA1c更理想.     

Evaluation of bedside blood glucose monitoring by the phlebotomy team in an acute general care hospital

A feasibility study was undertaken to evaluate laboratory phlebotomists performing bedside glucose monitoring (BGM) over a 3-month period on a medical and surgical floor. Specific questions included: feasibility of providing testing on a 24-h basis, accuracy, appropriate utilization, effect on patient care, and an analysis of cost. In all, 1975 tests were performed on 114 patients. BGM results were within 15% of the laboratory's result 97% of the time. Patient and physician satisfaction was high. Although the cost of BGM is slightly higher than a laboratory glucose test, its use appeared to reduce the length of hospital stay by 0.47 days. Practical information on initiating a highly successful BGM program is provided.
