慢性肺心病左心功能探讨

通过42例重型肺心病、7例轻型肺心病、16例肺心病伴发冠心病患者和30例正常人在静息状态下的左右心脏射血分数及其临床资料的分析表明,重型肺心病患者在病情的急性发作期,存在有不同程度的左心功能不全,而轻型肺心病患者则无左心功能不全的表现。表明慢性肺心病仅在病程晚期,才由以右心为主的疾病发展成为全心病。本文还对重型肺心病与肺心病伴发冠心病患者的左心功能进行比较,结果表明,肺心病伴发冠心病患者左室功能受损程度更为明显,双重病因导致的左室功能减退,常造成心肌更严重的损害而且不容易恢复。     

Obstructive and restrictive ventilatory impairment in polyvinylchloride fabrication workers

Responses to a standardized respiratory symptom questionnaire, spirometry, and cross-shift decreases in lung function between 70 current employees of a polyvinylchloride (PVC) fabrication plant and a control group consisting of 48 men employed in a vegetable packing plant were compared. FEV1/FVC was significantly lower in the PVC workers. Cross-shift drops in Vmax75 of 15% or more were also more prevalent in the exposed group (p = .01). When examining the association between months of work within the exposed workforce and spirometric indices of airway obstruction, no relationship could be demonstrated. However, an inverse dose-response relationship was seen between level of FVC and duration of employment, suggesting a restrictive impairment. While the specific exposures have not been identified, it appears that employment in PVC fabrication may be associated with both obstructive and restrictive ventilatory effects.     

红细胞不同温度长期冻存后形态和免疫功能的变化及其临床意义

目的 探讨一种简便、有效的红细胞长期保存的方法。方法 红细胞在－40℃、80℃及－196℃（液氮）不同温度下长期保存18个月后，分别测定冻存前后红细胞平均体积（MCV）、红细胞渗透脆性（RFT）及红细胞免疫功能（RBC－C3bRR、ERPN）。结果 红细胞－40℃长期冻存后，MCV和RFT较冻存前显著提高（P＜0.05)，RBC－C3bRRt ERPN较冻存前显著降低（P＜0.05)。红细胞－80℃、－196℃长期冻存后，MCV、RFT、RBC－C3bRR及ERPN较冻存前无明显改变（P＞0.05)。结论 红细胞经－80℃、－196℃长期冻存后，其形态、结构和免疫功能保存良好。－80℃低温冻存是一种简便、有效的红细胞长期保存的方法。     

Respiratory health status in swine producers using respiratory protective devices

A cross-sectional survey on respiratory health in swine producers showed that 30% of 301 examined men usually used a dust mask when working inside a barn. They did not differ significantly from dust mask nonusers in respect to respiratory symptoms and lung function. This analysis was undertaken to determine whether the respiratory health of dust mask users was associated with reasons why they had started individual respiratory protection. The subjects were recontacted in order to identify those who started using a mask to deliberately prevent symptoms (42 men) and those who started protection because of pre-existing respiratory symptoms (44 men). Not unexpectedly, betweengroup comparisons of respiratory symptoms and lung function suggest that swine producers who wear dust masks for preventive purposes have better respiratory health than those who wear dust masks because of symptoms or those who do not use individual respiratory protection. The individual reasons for starting dust mask usage should be examined among potential determinants of the outcomes of prospective studies which can then provide more valid assessment of the effect of individual respiratory protection. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Safety pharmacology of the respiratory system: Techniques and study design

The known effects of drugs from a variety of pharmacologic/therapeutic classes on the respiratory system and worldwide regulatory requirements support the need for conducting respiratory evaluations in safety pharmacology. The objective of these studies is to evaluate the potential for drugs to cause secondary pharmacologic or toxicologic effects that influence respiratory function. Changes in respiratory function can result either from alterations in the pumping apparatus that controls the pattern of pulmonary ventilation or from changes in the mechanical properties of the lung that determine the transpulmonary pressures (work) required for lung inflation and deflation. Defects in the pumping apparatus are classified as hypo- or hyperventilation syndromes and are evaluated by examining ventilatory parameters in a conscious animal model. The ventilatory parameters include respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute volume, peak (or mean) inspiratory flow, peak (or mean) expiratory flow, and fractional inspiratory time. Defects in mechanical properties of the lung are classified as obstructive or restrictive disorders and can be evaluated in animal models by performing flow-volume and pressure-volume maneuvers, respectively. The parameters used to detect airway obstruction include peak expiratory flow, forced expiratory flow at 25 and 75% of forced vital capacity, and a timed forced expiratory volume, while the parameters used to detect lung restriction include total lung capacity, inspiratory capacity, functional residual capacity, and compliance. Measurement of dynamic lung resistance and compliance, obtained continuously during tidal breathing, is an alternative method for evaluating obstructive and restrictive disorders, respectively, and is used when the response to drug treatment is expected to be immediate (within minutes post-dose). The species used in the safety pharmacology studies conducted in our laboratory are the same as those used in toxicology studies since pharmacokinetic and toxicologic/pathologic data are available in these species. These data can be used to help select test measurement intervals and doses and to aid in the interpretation of functional change. The techniques and procedures for measuring respiratory function parameters are well established in guinea pigs, rats, and dogs.     

糖尿病患者微血管病变与血小板功能

测定21例有微血管病变和27倒无并发症的糖尿病人血小板功能，并与40例正常人作比较。结果发现糖尿病人，尤其是微血管病变者血浆血栓烷素（TXB2）、第八因子相关抗原（VWF）浓度及血小板膜糖蛋白（G、P）Ib显著高于对照组。提示血小板功能异常可能对糖尿病患者做血管并发症的发生起重要作用。     

职业接触氯乙烯对生殖功能影响的调查

对全国１２个城市中１３个聚氯乙烯制造工厂中２７３６名接触氯乙烯的工人及３４４２名对照厂工人，进行了生殖功能的流行病学调查研究，结果表明，接触氯乙烯男、女工人的各项生殖结局指标与对照组比较无显著性差异，但女工氯乙烯接触组妊娠合并症的发生率明显高于对照组，表明氯乙烯对女工的妊娠过程有一定影响，因此积极改善劳动条件，不仅对保护工人健康，而且对保护其子代的正常发育成长也有重要意义。     

高频电磁场对工人行为功能的影响

采用世界卫生组织推荐的神经行为核心测试组合（ＷＨＯ－ＮＣＴＢ），对高频作业工人４１名（平均工龄１３．９ａ（年）及年龄、性别、文化程度与接触组相匹配的对照组工人３９名（平均工龄１３．３ａ）分别进行了行为功能测试。结果表明高频作业工人部分情感状态得分和某些行为功能得分与对照组相比差异有显著性。长期接触高频电磁场可能引起工人情感状态改变，记忆力减退、注意力分散及心理运动稳定度下降。
