Sumatriptan nasal spray in the acute treatment of migraine in adolescents and children

About 4-10% of children and adolescents suffer from migraine. In the last few years, several studies have been performed to assess the efficacy and safety of triptans for the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents. Only sumatriptan nasal spray has been approved for the treatment of acute migraine with or without aura in adolescents aged 12-17 years in Europe. This review describes the results of the studies with sumatriptan nasal spray that have been performed in children and adolescents, including a study performed in the Netherlands.     

男性胆囊结石患者血清性激素和前列腺素改变的探讨

借助RIA,对28例胆囊结石男性(平均57.5岁)及26名健康中、老年男性(平均63.3岁)进行了血清雌二醇(E_2)、孕酮、睾酮和前列腺素类(PGs)检测,以探索胆石形成机理。结果,1)在胆石男病人中.平均E_2和平均孕酮水平均高,他们的平均睾酮则低下,与健康对照男性相应诸值比较,差异非常显著或显著(P<0.001,0.05,0.05);2)至于平均PGs,胆石男性组者与健康对照男性相比,前者也相当高(23.01pg/ml对16.31pg/ml),只是两组间差异尚无统计学意义。作者等初步设想,胆石男性小,如同胆石女性那般,本症也可能是某种垂体性腺激素分泌紊乱性疾病。     

绝经后高血压危险因素的Meta分析

脂质比值与代谢综合征的关联及预测价值评价：基于多阶段横断面研究

背景 随着代谢性疾病发病率的上升,代谢综合征(MS)的预防与控制引起广泛的关注。而脂质比值是重要的筛查指标之一,与MS之间的关系成为热点研究话题。目的 基于贵州省多阶段横断面研究人群分析三酰甘油/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(TG/HDL-C)、总胆固醇/HDL-C(TC/HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇/HDL-C(LDL-C/HDL-C)及非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(non-HDL-C)与MS发病风险的关联及预测价值评价。方法 回顾性选取贵州省参与2010年全国疾病监测地区慢性病及危险因素调查、2013年中国慢性病及其危险因素监测、2015年中国成人慢性病与营养监测和2018年中国成人慢性病与营养监测的21 727例自然人群为研究对象,收集研究对象的基线资料,根据是否患有MS将研究对象分为MS组(n=4 981)和非MS组(n=16 746)。绘制受试者工作特征曲线(ROC曲线)分别评价男性和女性TG/HDL-C、TC/HDL-C、LDL-C/HDL-C和non-HDL-C对MS的预测价值。通过Delong检验比较脂质比值预测MS发生的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)的差异。采用多因素Logistic回...     

The GABA hypothesis of kindling: Recent assay studies

The GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) hypothesis of kindling suggests that the permanent changes caused by the kindling procedure result from a loss of GABA-mediated inhibition. Pharmacological studies have generally supported this hypothesis: GABA-complex antagonists accelerate (or stimulate) kindling, whereas GABA-complex agonists retard (or reverse) it. Assay studies, however, have presented an inconsistent picture. Earlier studies found no GABAergic brain changes after kindling, whereas recent studies have reported postkindling changes in a number of GABA-related parameters. The crucial difference seems to be that earlier studies assayed GABA parameters in "whole tissue," whereas recent studies have concentrated on "synaptic" GABA. As indicated by recent studies, when the "metabolic pool" is excluded, kindled subjects show a variety of persistent abnormalities in the GABA system. These data are generally consistent with the GABA hypothesis of kindling.     

Application of adjunct techniques in cytologic material in the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma: case report and review of the literature

A 4(1/2)-yr-old female presented with right-sided pleural effusion and a retroperitoneal mass. Cytologic analysis of the pleural fluid yielded malignant small round blue cells, which were noncohesive, 3-4 times the size of lymphocytes. The malignant cells had hyperchromatic, pleomorphic nuclei with moderate amounts of vacuolated cytoplasm. A few fiber-shaped cells were also seen. Immunostains for desmin, muscle-specific actin were positive; ultrastructural findings of thick and thin actin-myosin filaments confirmed the diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. This case illustrates the importance of performing appropriate immunohistochemical stains and ultrastructural studies on cytological material to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.

Serological studies of monoclonal RH1(D) antibodies with RH1(D) variants

In this paper we chose to emphasize three aspects of our work. First we underlined that “low grade and high grade” D weak red blood cells studied at the DNA level could, when monoclonal antibodies were used, give patterns of positive and negative reactions like partial RH1(D) cells. Secondly, we showed the importance of the technical conditions of the study which are essential for establishing a pattern of reactivity defining an epitope. It appears that the use of papain treated cells at room temperature can be misleading for the definition of epitope especially with IgM antibodies. Lastly we pointed out the interest of Rh variant cells, defined at the gene level, to study the expression of RH1(D) epitopes on the external part of the membrane.
