In Vivo Molecular Imaging Characterizes Pulmonary Gene Expression During Experimental Lung Transplantation

Experimental gene therapy is a promising strategy to prevent ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and allograft rejection after lung transplantation, and methods will eventually be needed to characterize pulmonary transgene expression in vivo in humans. Therefore, we studied positron emission tomography (PET) as a means of performing in vivo molecular imaging in rodent models of lung transplantation. Rats were transfected endotracheally with adenovirus encoding a fusion gene of a mutant Herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase and the green fluorescent protein gene (the former serving as an imaging reporter gene). Twenty-four hours after transfection, lungs were transplanted in groups representing normal transplantation, I/R injury and acute allograft rejection. Imaging was obtained either 24 h after transplantation to study reperfusion injury or 4 days after transplantation to study graft rejection. After imaging, lungs were excised and analyzed for thymidine kinase activity. Imaging detected transgene expression in transplanted lungs even in the presence of acute rejection or I/R injury. The PET imaging signal correlated with in vitro lung tissue assays of thymidine kinase activity (r(2) = 0.534). Thus, noninvasive molecular imaging with PET is a feasible, sensitive and quantitative method for characterizing pulmonary transgene expression in experimental lung transplantation.     

Liver and lung resection for colorectal metastasis

Aim: To examine the survival benefit of liver and lung resection for colorectal metastasis and the potential prognostic factors that affect patient survival. Methods: All patients who had resection of lung or liver metastasis for colorectal metastasis in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong from 1995 to 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. The overall and disease‐free survival was analysed, in particularly between liver and lung metastasis. All factors that may have affected the survival were entered into Cox's proportional hazards regression model to identify significant variables associated with survival. Results: At 5 years, the overall survival of patients who had resection of lung and liver metastasis was 44% and 38%, respectively; the disease‐free survival was 26% and 24%, respectively. Overall and disease‐free survival of patients with resection of lung metastasis was comparable to those with resection of liver metastasis. The differentiations of primary tumour and time to metastasis were shown to be significant prognostic factors influencing overall survival. Those patients with systemic chemotherapy after resection of colorectal metastasis demonstrated a significantly higher probability of overall survival. Conclusion: Resection of lung and liver metastases from colorectal origin was safe and both procedures improved survival. The use of chemotherapy after resection of metastasis significantly improved the overall survival.     

蛋白酶激活受体1介导人肺上皮细胞分泌白细胞介素-8

目的探讨蛋白酶激活受体1（PAR1）激动肽和凝血酶对人肺上皮细胞白细胞介索-8（IL-8）分泌的影响。方法人肺上皮细胞系A549细胞分别接种于12孔培养板各孔内，并分别用不同浓度的PAR1激动肽SFLLR和反PAR1激动肽RLLFS以及不同浓度的凝血酶和／或凝血酶抑制剂水蛭索进行刺激，刺激时间为2和16h。用ELISA方法检测上清液中的IL-8水平。结果经过16h的培养，SFLLR可引起浓度相关性IL-8的释放增加，增加到300μmol/L时诱导IL-8的释放量比基础分泌量增加了近16倍，RLLFS不能引起IL-8的释放增加。凝血酶也可引起浓度相关性IL-8释放．凝血酶在浓度1kU／L时就可引起IL-8释放量增加，10kU/L时诱导IL-8释放量达高峰，为基础分泌量的7．5倍。水蛭索可以抑制凝血酶对IL-8的释放作用。时间相关曲线表明，PAR1介导的IL-8释放从2h起即可引起增加，16h达高峰。结论PAR1激动肽和凝血酶可促进人肺上皮细胞分泌IL-8，PAR1拮抗剂和凝血酶抑制剂可能具有抗炎作用。     

切实把握临床医学与ICD-10的关系

要使疾病相关分组系统在我国尽快推广使用就要提高ICD-10编码的准确率,编码人员必须加强临床医学知识的学习,结合ICD-10的编码原则,通过认真阅读病历再进行编码,临床医师也应了解ICD-10的分类轴心和规则,书写好病历.

Densities in dependent lung regions during anaesthesia: atelectasis or fluid accumulation?

In previous studied with computed tomography (CT) prior to and during general anaesthesia, we found that densities developed in dependent parts of the lungs immediately after induction of anaesthesia in all examined patients. It was suggested that the densities were atelectases created by compression of lung tissue but an alternative explanation could be accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung tissue and/or in the pleural space. In the present study the nature of the densities was analysed in further detail. Injections of contrast medium into the pleural space revealed that the densities were located in the lung tissue and not in the pleural space. By injecting contrast medium intravenously and repeating the CT scanning over a 2-min period the passage of contrast through the major vessels and the lung densities could be studied. The transit time of the contrast medium was of the same magnitude in the densities and the major lung vessels. This indicates that there were no regions with an increased amount of extravascular fluid to delay the contrast passage. These findings oppose the idea of fluid accumulation as the cause of the densities, while atelectasis remains the most plausible explanation.
