Sarcomas of head and neck — A 10 yrs experience

38 cases of sarcoma of head and neck region were analysed in a retrospective way in relation to age, anatomic location, histological, clinical profile, and surgical approaches. Compared to other types of head and neck neoplasms, such as squamous cell carcinoma, soft tissue sarcomas have low rates of regional metastases. However the biological behaviour of soft tissue sarcoma is more aggressive specially in paediatric age group. In the present series, CT scan was considered as the primary modality of investigation. Surgery generally has been recommended as the primary method of treatment for achieving local control, except in those high-grade tumours arising in sites not amenable to resection. 3-year and 5-year survival rates in this present series 50% and 31.6% respectively.     

Sex differences in the distribution of adipose tissue in the Djungarian hamster Phodopus sungorus

Female Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) have proportionately more adipose tissue in superficial depots than males of similar age and body composition. In both sexes, the proportion in superficial depots increases with increasing fatness. This species may be useful as a model for human obesity because it becomes as obese as modern humans without genetic, surgical or dietary manipulation and the sex differences in adipose tissue distribution resemble those of humans.     

大鼠胎胰胰岛组织培养及移植的实验观察

本实验对培养中的大鼠胎胰胰岛组织及其移植后的形态功能进行了观察。结果表明,大鼠胎胰经短期培养,不仅内分泌胰岛β细胞的活力保存良好,而且胰外分泌腺泡大大减少以致消失。21只糖尿病大鼠,同种移植经过7天培养的胎胰胰岛,未用免疫抑制剂,术后糖尿病缓解率76.2％。     

三块游离组织组合移植I期修复复杂手外伤

研究复杂性手外伤的修复方式和游离组织组合移植的方式。方法：对36例严重手外伤采用在块游离组织组合移植修复。共有4种组合类型。结果：36例108块游离组织组合移植，全部成活，所覆盖的创面全部愈合，经过1年以上随访，移植足趾和Mu甲瓣恢复触痛、温度觉，两点瓣别觉在6-12mm，所有病例恢复了对掌、对指功能，能完成日常生活功能。结论：用三块游离组织组合移植修复复杂手外伤，虽手术时间长、创伤大，但可减少手术次数和减轻患者精神和经济负担，缩短疗程，并能早期进行康复训练，最大程度恢复手指的功能治疗。     

Review of non‐positron emission tomography functional imaging of primary musculoskeletal tumours: Beyond the humble bone scan

Bone and soft tissue tumours are rare neoplasms. There are five major roles of imaging in the management of primary musculoskeletal tumours, that is, to differentiate between benignity and malignancy, to evaluate for local tumour extension, to screen for metastases, to judge the effect of chemotherapy, and to monitor for recurrence. To accomplish this, multiple modalities are required because no single examination is able to complete all these tasks. These modalities include plain radiography, CT, MRI, conventional nuclear medicine as well as positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Elsewhere, PET imaging has been discussed at length, because it is likely to be superior in the assessment of bone and soft tissue tumours over conventional nuclear medicine procedures. However, conventional nuclear medicine may be of value when PET is unavailable. In this review, an overview of anatomical imaging will be given and the role of non‐PET functional imaging will be discussed in detail. A variety of illustrative cases will be presented.     

神经活素对Pc12细胞作用的初步观察

从胎脑、颌下腺、肌肉组织中制备神经活素。其性能同脑活素一样：可促进Ｐｃ１２细胞的突起生长，提高其胞浆内乳酸脱氢酶活性，电泳显示二者有相同的三条带。提示：神经活素有可能替代脑活素应用于临床。     

血清TPS浓度在消化道肿瘤中价值的研究

共选择３０例消化道肿瘤病人，其中食管癌，胃癌，大肠癌各１０例，设健康献血者３０例，对两组血清特异型组织多肽抗原浓度进行了检测，结果肿瘤组血清ＴＰＳ浓度明显高于健康人。消化道肿瘤阳性检出经达７０％，其中食管癌８０％，胃癌６０％，大肠癌７０％。消化道肿瘤合并淋巴转移阳性检出率达７６．９％，其中食管癌１００％，胃癌６６．７％，大肠癌７０．０％。随着病程发展，血清ＴＰＳ浓度呈现升高趋势。     

傅立叶变换红外光谱用于不同状态胆囊组织的初步研究

目的:探索正常、炎性和癌变胆囊组织各自特异的傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)表现。方法:应用FT-IR对7例正常胆囊组织、7例炎性胆囊组织和2例胆囊癌组织标本进行检测,总结与组织状态相关的光谱特征。结果:胆囊正常、炎性和癌组织具有不同的FT-IR光谱表现,1550cm~(-1)处的酰Ⅱ带在癌组织中表现较弱,峰形低平,而在正常组织中则较强,峰形高尖。相叶强度Ⅰ1550与Ⅰ1647的比值在7例正常组织中为0.33,0.48.0.54,0.38,0.41,0.52,0.45,炎性组织中为0.32,0.27,0.34,0.25,0.33,0.28,0.29,2例癌组织分别为0.25和0.28;Ⅰ1080与Ⅰ1550的比值在正常组织中为0.059,0.042,0.077,0.085,0.092,0.100,0.081,炎性组织中为0.046,0.040,0.053,0.053,0.048,0.078,0.100,2例癌组织中为0.110和0.170。正常组织中1453cm~(-1)处的峰值高于1402cm~(-1)处,而在癌组织中则相反。结论:胆囊正常、炎性和癌组织的FT-IR表现不同,FT-IR有望成为胆道疾病临床诊断的一种新手段。     

Effects of food restriction and refeeding on adipocyte glucose metabolism in Zucker rats

Chronic food restriction has been shown to enhance glucose metabolism in adipocytes from lean Zucker rats at 10, 26, and 52 weeks of age compared to ad libitum-fed lean rats. Only adipocytes from food restricted 10-week-old obese rats demonstrated this response. In this study, lean and obese rats were food restricted from 5 until 14 weeks of age to determine the age at which adipocytes from obese rats were no longer affected by this intervention. Effects of 1 week of refeeding were also determined. When the rats were killed, body weights were highest in control rats followed by restricted/refed and then restricted rats within each genotype. Epididymal pad weights of lean rats were resistant to dietary intervention, while those of obese-restricted and obese-restricted/refed rats weighed less than pads of obese-control rats. Retroperitoneal pad weight was lowered by food restriction in both genotypes; but only that of lean-restricted/refed rats totally recovered with refeeding. Adipocytes of lean-restricted rats had the highest conversion of glucose to CO₂. Glyceride-glycerol production was higher in obese compared to lean rats, but restricted rats had elevated conversion of glucose to fatty acids. In general, these results indicate that by 14 weeks of age obese Zucker rats no longer respond to food restriction with an elevated rate of glucose metabolism in adipocytes.
