目的 :研究COPD肺心病急性加重期多个器官的受损情况。方法 :采用日本OLYMPUS公司AU10 0 0全自动生化分析仪测量 10 9例肺心病急性加重期患者的 17项血生化指标。并与 110例健康体检者进行对照研究。结果 :两组之间血肌酐 (Cr)差异不显著 (P >0 .0 5 ) ,总胆红素 (TBIL)及空腹血糖 (GLU)差异显著 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,其余 14项生化指标P值均 <0 .0 1,两组间差异非常显著。结论 :COPD肺心病急性加重期除了心力衰竭 ,呼吸衰竭之外 ,还常常伴有肝损害、肾损害、高血糖、低脂低胆固醇血症、低蛋白血症及营养不良。保肝护肾 ,注意血糖血脂及营养支持治疗不容忽视     

临床神经电生理学专业的现状及思考

目的：调查河南省中华医学会临床神经电生理专科学会的现状及存在问题。探讨解决存在问题的措施。方法：采用分层抽样与整体抽样对84个医疗单位242人进行信访调查，并对资料完整的225人（92．97％）进行分析。结果：男60人，女165人。年龄平均32．8岁。本科学历15．6％，无学历6．6％。高级职称9．3％，无职称5．4％。已专业培训49．3％，未专业培训50．7％。结论：我省临床神经电生理专业发展迅速，但技术人员新，学历、职称偏低，且49．3％的人员未经正规专业培训，人才出现断层，发展后劲不足。因此，采取技术人员许可证制度——执证上岗，有计划的培养高素质的技术人员是当务之急。     

腹泻型、便秘型肠易激综合征和功能性便秘患者的直肠肛管测压比较

目的研究腹泻型、便秘型IBS和功能性便秘患者直肠肛管测压参数的不同，并评价性别和年龄对各项参数的影响，方法腹泻型IBS(n=18)、便秘型IBS(n=14)、功能性便秘(n=30)和健康对照组(n=18)，通过定点牵拉法进行直肠肛管测压。结果腹泻型IBS、便秘型IBS、功能性便秘以及健康对照组直肠肛管测压各项压力参数基本无差异，但三组患者的诱发RAIR所需的最小气体容量均显著高于健康对照组，便秘型IBS和功能性便秘模拟排便时发生矛盾运动的百分比显著高于腹泻型IBS和健康对照组；便秘型IBS和功能性便秘组中，肛管上部和下部最大紧缩压力，以及模拟排便发生矛盾运动的百分比男性均高于女性；腹泻型IBS组内男性模拟排便发生矛盾运动的百分比高于女性；健康对照组内男性肛管下部静息压力和最大紧缩压力高于女性；各组20-50岁人群和50-80岁人群的各项压力参数无显著性差异，但功能性便秘组青年组诱发RAIR所需的最小气体容量低于老年组。结论腹泻型IBS、便秘型IBS和功能性便秘患者的直肠肛管测压各项压力参数无助于这三型功能性肠病的鉴别诊断。男性的直肠肛管测压的多项压力参数显著高于女性，男性更易出现模拟排便矛盾运动，年龄对直肠肛管测压各项参数无明显影响。

目的：研究蛇毒Ⅱ类磷脂酶A2(PLA2)中D49 PLA2和K49 PLA2的功能分化及其功能分化决定位点的鉴定。方法：运用序列比较分析，进化树构建和DIVERGE v1．04软件计算研究D49 PLA2和K49 PLA2的功能分化情况及其分化位点。结果：序列比较分析，进化树构建和DIVERGE v1．04软件计算结果表明蛇毒Ⅱ类PLA2中D49 PLA2和K49 PLA2的确发生了功能分化，对于K49 PLA2来说，1S，7K，11Q，E12，R34，T56，N88，L92，E108，K116，K128可能为功能分化决定位点。对于D49 PLA2，L2，G33，G35，F46和Y118可能为功能分化决定位点。结论：我们首次通过序列比较分析，进化树构建和DIVERGE v1．04软件计算鉴定出蛇毒Ⅱ类PLA2中D49 PLA2和K49 PLA2可能的功能分化位点，为今后通过基因重组和定点突变方法研究蛇毒Ⅱ类PLA2结构功能关系提供了线索。     

左心室造影功能成像的临床应用

为探讨左心室造影功能成像的价值与限度，我们选择冠脉及左心室造影者38例行左室功能成像，观察左室壁运动情况并与节段法室壁运动定量分析比较。结果示左室收缩正常18例，其各节段EF值平均39％，节段性收缩减弱7例，无收缩3例，矛盾收缩4例，普遍性收缩减弱6例，病变节段的EF值平均5～19％，明显低于正常者（P＜0．01）。结论：左室功能成像效果直观且客观，可作为室壁运动定量分析的一个重要补充。     

Factor analysis of bowel symptoms in US and Italian populations

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Functional gastrointestinal disorders are diagnosed by the presence of a characteristic set of symptoms. Aims of this study were to validate the Rome symptom criteria by factor analysis and to determine whether symptoms cluster in the same way in different cultures. METHODS: One thousand forty-one gastroenterology clinic patients in the US (response rate 53%) and 228 family members accompanying clinic patients in Italy (84%) completed a previously validated symptom questionnaire. Factor analysis identified clusters of symptoms which are highly correlated with each other, and these were compared to the Rome diagnostic criteria. RESULTS: In the US, 13 factors were identified. The irritable bowel factor was composed of three core symptoms corresponding to the Rome II classification system. Two dyspepsia factors were identified which correspond to the ulcer- and motility-like subtypes proposed in the Rome I classification system. All symptoms of constipation formed a single cluster as proposed in the Rome II classification system. Symptom clusters in the US agreed well with symptom clusters identified in Italian subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Empirically derived symptom clusters agree in most respects with the Rome II classification system and support their validity. These symptom clusters are independent of cultural differences in diet and behaviour.     

Activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in mice selected for left- or right-handedness

Asymmetry in brain modulation of the immune system has been previously described. In mice, paw preference has been shown to be associated with immune reactivity but the mechanisms involved in such an association are not yet known. The autonomic nervous system and the neuroendocrine system are considered as major candidates for neural influences on the immune system. In the present study, the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis of adult female mice selected for paw preference (left-handers vs. right-handers) was assessed by measuring both adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone plasma levels, as well as the in vitro responses of hypothalamus and adrenocortical cells to various hormone releasing stimuli. The results reported here showed no difference in the activity of the HPA axis between left- and right-handed mice, suggesting that this neuroendocrine axis is not implicated in the association between functional brain asymmetry and immune reactivity. However, our results do not exclude the possibility that the HPA axis could play a role in such an association under other circumstances, such as during development or stressful situations.     

Evaluation of renal first pass blood flow with a functional image technique in hypertensive patients

The renal circulation of patients with essential hypertension and renovascular hypertension was evaluated using ^99mTc-DTPA. The first renal peak count (the first C_max; FC_max), time phase distribution (the first T_max; FT_max), and blood velocity (the FC_max/FT_max) were calculated by digital imaging. This yields a visual image of the renal circulation. We consider that the increase in the renal first pass blood flow in patients with essential hypertension is best observed pixel by pixel. The FC_max and FC_max/FT_max images before and after treatment by percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty in patients with renovascular hypertension clearly show its therapeutic effect. The FI technique, therefore, has the advantage that it can be performed at the same time as the conventional routine examinations of renal function. This makes it very useful clinically.     

Erfahrungen zur PFFB von isolierten radiusköpfchenfrakturen

Zusammenfassung Den Vorteilen einer osteosynthetischen Versorgung einer Fraktur mit sofortiger Aufnahme seiner Funktion, stehen die aus der Literatur bekannten Komplikationen gegenüber. Diese und unsere eigenen unbefriedigenden Ergebnisse nach der operativen Versorgung von Radiusköpfchenfrakturen ließen uns zu einer prospektiven randomisierten Studie einer primär funktionellen Behandlung unter Verzicht auf eine äußere oder innere Stabilisierung greifen. Seit Dezember 1991 haben wir im UKH-Graz bis einschließlich Dezember 1992 insgesamt 70 Patienten nach einem strikten Behandlungskonzept, unter Zuhilfenahme der Computertomographie zur Verlaufsbeobachtung versorgt. Die in 91% der Fälle als sehr gut and gut einzustufenden Frühergebnisse sowie das fehlende Auftreten einer, wie bei operativer Versorgung möglichen Komplikation, ebenso die zusätzlich deutlich frühere Arbeitsfähigkeit bzw. deutlich kürzere, wenn auch aufwendigere Behandlungszeit, lassen uns diese Verfahren nicht nur in unserem Hans weiterführen, sondern können wir auch weiter empfehlen.

Experience with internal fixation of fractures of the head of the radius

The advantages of internal fixation of fractures, with the possibility of immediate resumption of the function of the fractured bone, are in contrast to the well-known complications described in the literature. These complications and our own unsatisfactory results after surgical treatment of fractures of the head of the radius induced us to carry out a randomized prospective study of primary functional treatment of such fractures without external or internal stabilization. From December 1991 through December 1992, a total of 70 patients were treated according to a strict treatment protocol at the Graz Hospital for Accident Surgery, and CT was used for observation of the healing process. The positive early results, which in 91% of all cases were classified as very good or good, the lack of complications that sometimes follow surgical treatment, the markedly earlier recovery of the patient's working capacity, and the clearly shorter — albeit somewhat more expensive — treatment period required have led us to continue using this method at our hospital and also to recommend its use elsewhere.
