血清脂质结合唾液酸测定对肺部病变的诊断价值

本文介绍正常人113名,肺部恶性病变49例及肺部良性病变33例的血清LSA测定结果,正常人血清LSA含量平均值为0.1243±0.0358g/L。特异性97.40％,男女间无差异,48例肺癌血清LSA平均值0.2698±0.0915g/L,敏感性85.40％;33例良性病变LSA平均值0.1712±0.0767g/L,特异性78.79％。肺癌患者血清LSA较良性病变明显升高,故测定血清LSA对鉴别良恶性病变有一定价值。     

Prospective randomized study of D-Trp6-LHRH versus buserelin in long desensitization protocols for medically assisted conception cycles

In a prospective, controlled, randomized study where two differentagonists were used, we compared three different long desensitizationprotocols for induction of multiple follicular growth in medicallyassisted conception cycles. In protocol A, 30 patients wereinjected with buserelin twice a day for 15 days prior to ovarianstimulation until human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration.In protocol B, 30 patients were injected with a single doseof long acting Triptorelin (3.75mg) 15 days before the ovarianstimulation onset. In protocol C, 30 patients were injectedwith the long acting Triptorelin 4 weeks before ovarian stimulationfollowed by daily administration of 0.1 mg of the same agonistuntil HCG injection. There was no difference in the ovarianresponse to exogenous gonadotrophin stimulation, except forthe presence of premature luteinization in two patients in groupB. A significantly higher number of mature oocytes was collectedfrom patients with protocol A; however, the fertilization andcleavage rate demonstrated no significant difference among thethree groups of patients. The ongoing pregnancy rate and theimplanation rate per treatment cycle were very similar in thethree study groups. When the convenience, cost and side-effectsfor the patient are being considered, protocol B should be selectedas the first choice when the agonist is utilized for the purposeof inducing pituitary desensitization before and during ovarianstimulation.     

北京地区361名孕妇乙型肝炎流行病学研究

从1985年4月到1986年4月对361名孕妇进行的乙型肝炎流行病学横断面研究以及196名产妇一年随访研究的结果表明,361例孕妇的HBsAg阳性率为2.5%,抗-HBs阳性率为23.8%,抗-HBc阳性率为22.1%,HBV总感染率为31.3%;抗-HBs阳性、抗-HBs和抗-HBc共存阳性者占总阳性者的76.1%,说明人群感染HBV后大多产生了免疫力.1986年4月复查了196例产妇,133名在1985年HBV标记阴性者中有6人获得了HBV标记,HBV新感染率为4.5%;1例为急性乙型肝炎病人,5例为亚临床感染.HBV新感染者的感染途径不明,但医源性传播不能排除.1986年检查的148对夫妇中,男性HBsAg阳性率是女性的3.1倍(6.1%对2.0%),男性单独抗-HBc阳性率是女性的2.3倍(6.1%对2.7%),抗-HBs、抗-HBs和抗-HBc共存以及HBV感染率男女性间都无显著差异.     

反义寡核苷酸抗乙型肝炎病毒的研究进展

反义寡核苷酸(ASODN)是近十年来迅速发展起来的一种新的生物技术。它为乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)治疗提供了一种新的基因治疗途径。本文就ASODN抗HBV的研究进展:ASODN抗HBV的反义与非反义作用机制研究;ASODN的化学修饰;针对HBV各基因区关键位点的ASODN抗HBV效果评价以及利用联合或串联ASODN和靶向技术抗HBV作用的研究分三部分进行综述。     

Statistical properties of the allelic and genotypic transmission/disequilibrium test for multiallelic markers

The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) is extended in two ways for a multiallelic marker: (1) to compare transmitted and nontransmitted alleles from a single heterozygous parent and (2) to compare genotypes formed by the two transmitted alleles and genotypes formed by the two nontransmitted alleles using the information on both parents, heterozygous or not, simultaneously. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Measurement of free and total hydroxyproline by automated flow injection of serum or urine samples from maintenance hemodialysis patients with renal osteodystrophy

An automated measurement of total and free hydroxyproline in serum or urine is presented that uses flow injection analysis. After exclusion of nonspecific substances, hydroxyproline was oxidized by chloramine- T and L-cysteine with Ehrlich's reagent. The linearity obtained was from 3.8μmole/ L to 1.22 mmole/L with good precision (CV <3%). Comparison of the proposed method with HPLC yielded r = 0.939 as the correlation coefficient. Reference intervals of free and total hydroxyproline are 1.4–9.7 μmole/L, 3.8–27.2 μmole/L for serum, and 10.0–72.5 μmole/L, 25.2–303.6 μmole/L for urine, respectively. Serum free and total hydroxyproline levels in renal osteodystrophy patients on maintenance hemodialysis (N = 71) were significantly higher than in controls (P<0.0001). This method is superior to the use of HPLC with regard to stability of the color reaction. The measurement of serum free and total hydroxyproline is a useful marker for therapeutic observation of renal osteodystrophy patients. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

The Impact of Exacerbations on the Asthmatic Patient's Preference Scores

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exacerbations on mild to moderate asthmatic patients' preference-based, health-related, quality of life scores and also to describe the effect of these exacerbations on daily life. In a survey, 100 mild to moderate asthmatic patients in the United Kingdom were asked to rate three different health marker states on a scale between 0 (death) and 100 (perfect health), defined as: your asthma of today, a mild exacerbation, and a severe exacerbation of asthma. They were also asked to describe their symptoms and what they did when experiencing an exacerbation. During exacerbations the vast majority of asthmatic patients have significant symptoms and consume a considerable amount of health care resources, which often overlap. The health marker state “your asthma of today” was given a mean score of 81.0, a mild exacerbation a score of 62.1, and a severe exacerbation a score of 25.6, indicating a large impact on patients' daily life and their health-related quality of life. In conclusion, asthmatic patients are severely affected in their health and daily living by mild and severe exacerbations. Considerable effort should be made to reduce the number and severity of exacerbations.
