缺血性脑血管病患者血清基质金属蛋白酶水平及影响因素分析

目的 比较急性脑梗死、短暂脑缺血发作(TIA)和陈旧脑梗死患者血清基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)水平并分析其影响因素.方法 缺血性脑血管病患者136例,分为急性脑梗死组57例,TIA组22例,陈旧脑梗死组57例,进行神经功能评分及血压、血常规、血脂、血糖检查.依据ELISA法进行血MMP-9测定.结果 MMP-9水平分别为急性脑梗死患者(444.13±418.46)ng/ml,TIA患者(374.36±278.31)ng/ml,陈旧脑梗死患者(231.11±367.43)ng/ml.急性脑梗死和TIA患者血MMP-9水平明显高于陈旧脑梗死患者(P＜0.05).MMP-9水平与血白细胞水平(r=0.192,P=0.025)、低密度脂蛋白(r=0.261,P=0.002)、收缩压(r=0.232,P=0.006)呈正相关;与高密度脂蛋白(r=-0.219,P=0.011)和血糖(r=-0.254,P=0.003)呈负相关.MMP-9与收缩压(β=0.259,P=0.001)、血白细胞(β=0.209,P=0.008)、低密度脂蛋白(β=0.586,P=0.000)、胆固醇(β=-0.458,P=0.007)和血糖(β=-0.200,P=0.014)具有线性关系.结论 MMP-9水平在急性脑梗死及TIA时升高,收缩压、血白细胞和低密度脂蛋白均可能为其影响因素.

新生小猪脑含氧量和O-酪氨酸在双侧颈动脉结扎和失血中的变化

采用小猪双侧颈动脉结扎伴失血模型检测双侧颈动脉的结扎伴失血对脑氧分压和O-酪氨酸变化的影响,结果发现小猪脑氧分压为(51±4)托.颈动脉结扎和失血后60min降为(10±1.5)托(P<0.001),当颈动脉恢复通畅和失血再灌注后,脑氧分压增至(40±6)托,此值与预试验时的脑氧分压无明显差异.对照组中脑纹状体中的O-酪氨酸的含量为(0.57±0.19)nmoles/g组织.缺血试验后1h其含量明显升为(29±0.5)nmoles/g组织(P<0.005),显示缺血后再灌注导致脑纹状体O-酪氨酸显著上升.提示组织中羟基产生增加,可能与新生小猪脑缺血和再灌注损伤有一定作用.

Inflammatory central nervous system disease in lupus-prone MRL/lpr mice: comparative histologic and immunohistochemical findings

The brains of pathogen-free autoimmune MRL/lpr, NZBWF1 and NZB mice were examined for central nervous system (CNS) inflammation in premoribund 8-week-old animals and at ages when active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was present. CNS inflammation was observed only in MRL/lpr mice. Immunohistochemical studies of brains from young MRL/lpr mice found that infiltrates were composed primarily of CD4+ cells. Older MRL/lpr mice (22 and 26 weeks of age) had CD4+ cells predominantly, but CD8+ and B220+ cells were also present. Perivascular leakage of IgG was a prominent and unexpected finding in the MRL/lpr model. Congenic MRL/+ mice with late-onset autoimmunity had no inflammatory cells in brain tissue, and there was no perivascular staining with IgG or albumin. Our findings suggest that MRL/lpr mice are a useful model for studies of lupus-associated CNS inflammatory disease, and perivascular leakage may be a primary mechanism for entry of IgG into the brain.     

Excitation of locus coeruleus neurons by an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-activated inward current: extracellular and intracellular studies in rat brain slices

The firing rate of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons in rat brain slices was increased reversibly by agents that either elevate intracellular levels of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) or mimic its actions (e.g., forskolin, and activator of adenylate cyclase, 8-Br-cAMP, a membrane permeable analog of cAMP, and Ro20-1724, a preferential inhibitor of cAMP-phosphodiesterase). Intracellular recordings showed that 8-Br-cAMP and forskolin induce a depolarization of LC neurons, accompanied by a decrease in input resistance. The 8-Br-cAMP- and forskolin-elicited depolarization persisted in the presence of cobalt, a calcium channel blocker. Steady-state current-voltage curves revealed that in the voltage range of -50 to -120 mV, 8-Br-cAMP and forskolin induced an inward current, which did not reverse at the potassium equilibrium potential and could not be blocked by tetrodotoxin. Partial replacement of sodium with Tris or choline markedly reduced the depolarization elicited by 8-Br-cAMP. We conclude that 8-Br-cAMP and forskolin act through a common mechanism to increase the firing rate of locus coeruleus neurons by inducing a cAMP-activated inward current, carried out at least in part by sodium ions.

Hypothalamic hamartoma with bilateral anophthalmia

Introduction Hypothalamic hamartomas are congenital malformations. Clinically, they can be asymptomatic, but they cause seizures, mental retardation and precocious puberty in many cases. Case report A 20-day-old boy with hypothalamic hamartoma and bilateral anophthalmia was presented. Except those, no other congenital anomaly was detected. Conclusion This is a rare case of hypothalamic hamartoma with bilateral anophthalmia. The mutations at SOX2 has an important role in the developing brain and eyes.     

Spectra of central nervous system melioidosis

Burkholderia pseudomallei infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is rare with less than 50 cases reported over the last 30 years. The retrospective melioidosis study at University Malaya Medical Centre has documented three cases of CNS melioidosis out of more than 160 cases of melioidosis since 1978. There were two patients with brain abscess and one with spinal epidural abscess. The predisposing factors were: one patient was an aboriginal farmer and the other two were diabetic. Their age ranged from 17 to 45 years. Prominent neurological features were limb weakness, cranial nerve palsy (6th and 7th) and visual disturbance. CT brain scan and MRI spine showed abscess formation, subdural collection, and spinal epidural collection, osteomyelitis of vertebra and occipital bone and also sagital sinus thrombosis. All these patients underwent surgical drainage leading to bacteriological diagnosis as well as appropriate long-term antibiotic therapy. All had good recovery at 6 months after completion of treatment.     

额、枕部直接冲击导致中脑损伤的力学机制研究

目的分析额、枕部直接冲击造成中脑应力响应,探讨颅脑直接冲击导致脑干损伤的力学机制。方法构建头颅三维有限元模型,模拟计算额、枕部直接冲击损伤,分析中脑上、下交界面节点应力分布,总结中脑应力响应。结果中脑-间脑界面在冲击初始阶段,2ms即出现应力增高,中脑-桥脑界面应力升高开始于冲击后期(10ms),两交界面节点应力在冲击时程中均持续升高,额部冲击比枕部冲击在中-间脑界面造成的应力峰值高。结论中脑在颅脑直接冲击伤的致伤机制中占有突出地位,中脑的应力改变可解释脑震荡的意识障碍及部分原发脑干伤的临床表现。
