Iridium‐mediated β‐deuteration of enones

Exposure of captodative enone systems to deuterium in the presence of Crabtree's catalyst ( 1 ) results in deuteration at the vinylic site β‐ to the ketone carbonyl, as well as at any accessible ortho‐position. β‐exchange is also observed during the reduction of ethyl cinnamate ( 3 ) catalyzed by 1 .

Enhancing laboratory report contents to improve outpatient management of test results

In today''s environment, providers are extremely time-constrained. Assembling relevant contextual data to make decisions on laboratory results can take a significant amount of time from the day. The Regenstrief Institute has created a system which leverages data within Indiana Health Information Exchange''s (IHIE''s) repository, the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), to provide well-organized and contextual information on returning laboratory results to outpatient providers. The system described here uses data extracted from INPC to add historical test results, medication-dispensing events, visit information, and clinical reminders to traditional laboratory result reports. These “Enhanced Laboratory Reports” (ELRs) are seamlessly delivered to outpatient practices connected through IHIE via the DOCS4DOCS clinical messaging service. All practices, including those without electronic medical record systems, can receive ELRs. In this paper, the design and implementation issues in creating this system are discussed, and generally favorable preliminary results of attitudes by providers towards ELRs are reported.     

探究医院电子信息交换标准HL7

医药信息学在医学应用中的最大领域就是医院信息系统(Hospital Infornation System,HIS),随着HIS的快速发展,需要我们有一个开放的,统一的HIS开发和交换的标准.HL7是1987年开始发展起来的一个专门规范医疗机构用于临床信息,财务信息和管理信息电子信息交换的标准.它特别适合于解决不同厂商开发的医院信息系统、临床实验室系统及药学信息系统之间的互连问题.HL7在国内的发展刚刚起步,但是我国医疗卫生信息化发展很快,尤其是医疗保险、社区医疗和区域卫生信息系统等,都十分需要标准化的支持,HL7将成为建设这些系统的重要基础和关键技术.

血浆置换及大剂量甲泼尼龙治疗蜂螫伤致溶血性贫血的疗效分析

目的比较血浆置换(PE)与大剂量甲泼尼龙治疗蜂螫伤致溶血性贫血的疗效。方法蜂螫伤导致溶血性贫血患者35例,入院后除常规的对症处理外,拒绝行PE治疗的患者分为大剂量甲泼尼龙治疗组(n=13),其余的22位患者采用PE方法治疗,比较两组的溶血控制时间、并发症发生率、死亡率、平均住院天数。结果与大剂量甲泼尼龙治疗组相比,PE治疗组溶血控制的时间相当,差异没有统计学意义,但该组患者的并发症发生率、死亡率、平均住院天数均低于前者,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论 PE治疗能够有效治疗蜂螫伤所致溶血性贫血,且降低并发症的发生率,从而减低死亡率,缩短病程,减少平均住院天数,是早期治疗蜂螫伤中毒的有效手段。     

The Effect of Total Blood Exchange with PHP Solution on Cardiac Xenotransplantation

Abstract: Prevention of hyperacute rejection is a difficult and unsolved problem in xenotransplantation. Natural antibodies and complement activation have been known to play an important role in the xenotransplantation between discordant species pairs. In the present study, total blood exchange (TBE) was performed with pyridox-alated-hemoglobin-polyoxyethylene conjugate (PHP) solution (Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Kawasaki, Japan) before cardiac xenotransplantation in order to remove the immunoglobulins and prolong xenograft survival time. Guinea pigs and rats were used as the discordant species combination for donor and recipient. Two groups were established: Group 1, untreated control (n = 8) and Group 2, TBT with PHP solution (n = 8). The exchange blood transfusion was carried out at the rate of 15–20 ml/h utilizing PHP solution using a blood pump. After the blood exchange was processed, hematocrit (Ht) levels dropped to 4 or 5%, and a cardiac xenotransplantation was performed within 24 h. The levels of serum IgA, IgM, and IgG were decreased to less than 25, 25, and 10% of the base line, respectively, after blood exchange. A mean xenograft survival time in Group 2 was prolonged to 472 ± 74 min and to 10.4 ± 1.8 min in Group 1 (p < 0.01). A titer of the anti-guinea pig lymphocytotoxic antibody in rat serum was decreased to almost nil. The data from this study suggest that total blood exchange with PHP solution may be useful in preoperative removal of xenograft antibodies in xenotransplantation.

The effects of changes to action potential duration on the calcium content of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes

. We have estimated sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content using rapid application of caffeine on voltage clamped, isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Caffeine induces the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and this calcium is extruded from the cells by the sarcolemmal Na/Ca exchange. Integrating the inward Na/Ca exchange current thus allows estimations of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content. Ventricular myocytes were stimulated to reach new steady-states by action potential voltage clamps of varying duration. Once contractile steady-state had been reached caffeine was rapidly applied in place of the next action potential and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content measured. Prolonging the action potential duration increased sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content and vice-versa. This calcium loading may underlie the positive inotropic effect of increased action potential duration.

指示肺通气不均匀性的熵变及其同其他指标的理论比较

熵代表无序的水平，作者使用通气的熵变（ＥＣＶ）指示肺通气的不均匀性，ＥＣＶ定义为当前泡潮气量趋近于零时每摩尔被吸入气体从不均匀通气到均匀通气的熵变的极限。本文从熵的基本公式民地出ＥＣＶ的计算方程。用几个数学模型肺将ＥＣＶ同其他７个洗出指标进行了比较。８个指标中，只有ＥＣＶ仅取决于通气分布，其他７个指标不仅取决于通气分布，还同潮气量和死腔的大小有关。这影响了它们评价肺通气不均匀性的效果，ＥＣＶ的另一     

Brainstem mediates diazepam enhancement of palatability and feeding: microinjections into fourth ventricle versus lateral ventricle

The hypothesis that benzodiazepine-induced hyperphagia is due to a specific enhancement of the palatability of foods has been supported by previous ‘taste reactivity’ studies of affective (hedonic and aversive) reactions to taste palatability. Diazepam and chlordiazepoxide enhance hedonic reactions of rats (rhythmic tongue protrusions, etc.) to sweet tastes in a receptor-specific fashion. A role for brainstem circuits has been indicated by a previous demonstration of the persistence of the taste reactivity enhancement by diazepam after midbrain decerebration. The present study examined whether benzodiazepine brainstem receptors are the chief substrates for palatability enhancement even in intact brains. We compared the effectiveness of benzodiazepine microinjections to elicit feeding and enhance hedonic reactions when delivered into either the lateral ventricle (forebrain) or the fourth ventricle (brainstem) of rats. The results show diazepam is reliably more effective at eliciting feeding and enhancing positive hedonic reactions to oral sucrose when microinjections are made in the fourth ventricle than in the lateral ventricle. We conclude that brainstem neural systems containing benzodiazepine-GABA receptors are likely to be the chief substrates for benzodiazepine-induced palatability enhancement.
