The relationship between interstitial cystitis and endometriosis in patients with chronic pelvic pain.

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the relationship between interstitial cystitis (IC), endometriosis (endo), and chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in individuals in whom nongynecological and nonurological problems had been previously ruled out. METHODS: A prospective study of 162 consecutive women with a complaint of chronic pelvic pain seen in the clinic was performed between August 2002 and December 2005. These patients underwent a workup to exclude other causes of pelvic pain, had PUF (Pain Urgency and Frequency) questionnaires filled out, and underwent a laparoscopy and a cystoscopy with hydrodistention. Pain levels were determined, and treatment was reviewed and enumerated. Results were obtained and quantified. RESULTS: In this study, 123 (76%) patients were diagnosed with active endometriosis, 133 (82%) were diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, and 107 (66%) had both disease entities simultaneously. Thirteen (8%) patients were diagnosed with pathologies unrelated to endometriosis and interstitial cystitis. Pain levels were seen to decrease at 6 months in all groups of patients with the exception of those patients with endometriosis only. CONCLUSION: CPP is a difficult, taxing, and frustrating concern for many women in the United States. These individuals have traditionally been difficult to treat. A large number of women with CPP in our patient population have been shown to have endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, or both. Therefore, a workup for premenopausal individuals with CPP involves obtaining a history that keys into possible nongynecologic causes of pain, a complete accounting of urinary problems, and a thorough history of gynecological problems. A physical examination with a comprehensive history should be performed, and the investigation may include the possibility of a simultaneous laparoscopy and cystoscopy if warranted. These procedures can serve as both a means for diagnosis and treatment of these problems when encountered.     

Characterization of hindlimb motoneuron membrane properties in acute and chronic spinal cats

The purpose of this study was to determine if changes in hindlimb motoneuron membrane electrical properties occur 4–6 months after spinal transection in the adult animal. Eight acute and nine chronic animals were spinalized at T₁₂. Intracellular recordings from motoneurons innervating the triceps surae were performed. Membrane electrical properties, including resting potential, action potential peak amplitude, afterhyperpolarization duration, rheobasic current, input resistance and axonal conduction velocity were measured. There were no statistical differences found between group means or frequency distributions in the membrane properties of motoneurons assessed from acute and chronic spinal animals. Thus, alteration of motoneuron membrane properties does not appear to be a major contributing factor to the hyperexcitable hindlimb reflex activity demonstrated by chronic spinal animals.

Expression of epithelial matrix molecules collagen and laminin and corresponding integrins in chronic wounds

Re-epithelialization of cutaneous wounds is a coordinated process of proliferation and migration of keratinocytes at the wound edge. The study objective was to identify the differences in epidermal morphology, keratinocyte proliferation and matrix molecules (laminin 1, laminin 5, type IV collagen) and their specific integrin (α3, α6) expression in biopsies of meshed split thickness grafted and chronic wounds. The mean mitotic index of keratinocytes (ratio of cell cycle associated antigen Ki-67 expressing keratinocytes to basal keratinocytes) was highest in chronic wounds (38.7%) compared to acute wounds (22.25%, range 5.7% to 54%). The mean thickness of the hyper-proliferative epithelium at the wound edge of chronic wounds was 0.69 mm compared to 0.15 mm at the wound margin of split thickness grafted wounds. Both chronic wounds and skin grafted wounds exhibited strong laminin 5 immunoreactivity at the basal side of the epithelium, which extended under the most forward keratinocytes. Laminin 1 and type IV collagen immunoreactivity did not extend to the wound margin in either skin grafted or chronic wounds. In both transplanted skin and chronic wounds, the integrin sub-units α3 and α6 exhibited a strong pericellular immunoreactivity on the leading keratinocytes of the wound margin. Our data demonstrates that the proliferation of keratinocytes and the expression of associated integrins are not impaired in chronic wounds.

生脉注射液对慢性心力衰竭患者凝血功能的影响

目的研究大剂量生脉注射液对慢性心功能衰竭（简称心衰）患者凝血功能的影响。方法将60例慢性心衰患者随机分为治疗组（即生脉注射液组）和对照组，每组各30例，治疗组给予生脉注射液加西药常规治疗，对照组仅西药常规治疗，观察用药前后心功能改善程度及血浆P-选择素、血管性血友病因子（vWF）和D-二聚体水平的变化。结果治疗组临床显效率与总有效率明显高于对照组。心是患者血浆P-选择素、vWF和D-二聚体水平明显高于健康人，治疗后两组患者血浆P-选择素、vWF和D-二聚体水平均下降，治疗组优于对照组。结论慢性心衰患者，体内存在着高凝状态，大剂量生脉注射液可改善慢性心衰患者的凝血功能，可能在一定程度上减少心衰患者血栓事件的发生和发展？     

无创通气不同呼吸界面对COPD患者的生理学影响

目的 探讨无创正压通气(NPPV)时不同呼吸界面对慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)急性加重期并呼吸衰竭患者的生理学影响.方法 选择30例COPD急性加重期并呼吸衰竭患者.无创正压通气时患者随机先后接受不同呼吸界面(面罩、鼻罩和鼻塞).动态观察不同呼吸界面时患者呼吸方式、血气分析和对呼吸界面耐受性等的差异.结果 (1)与自主呼吸相比,无创正压通气时三种不同呼吸界面均可改善患者的潮气量、分钟通气量和呼吸频率(P＜0.01),三种不同呼吸界面时的呼吸频率相似(P＞0.05),但面罩时的潮气量和分钟通气量比鼻罩时更高(P＜0.05);(2)与自主呼吸相比,无创正压通气时三种不同呼吸界面均可改善患者的动脉血气(P＜0.05),面罩和鼻塞时的PCO2比鼻罩时更低(P＜0.05);(3)患者均可耐受三种不同的呼吸界面,但患者对鼻罩的耐受性比面罩和鼻塞更好(P＜0.01).结论 本生理学研究证实了无创正压通气可改善COPD急性加重期并呼吸衰竭患者的呼吸方式和动脉血气,面罩和鼻塞时的疗效更佳,而鼻罩时的耐受性更好.

慢性乙型肝炎伴肝胆结石病人胆汁、外周静脉血、门静脉血中HBsAg和HBV-DNA的存在探讨

对29例慢性乙型肝炎伴肝胆结石患者.采用Elisa和斑点杂交技术检测外周静脉血、胆管胆汁和门静脉血中乙型肝炎两对半及HBV-DNA.并比较HkAg含量.结果，外周静脉血、胆汁和门静脉血中HBsAg浓度分别为;2244.73±59722ng／ml、1181.65±370.91ng／ml、2013.62±483.47ng／ml;HBV-DNA阳性检出率分别为62.07％（18例），72.41％（21例）及68.97％（20例）.提示肝细胞内复制的HHV在进入血循环的同时，部分随胆汁的分泌排入肠道，并可能通过受损肠粘膜进入门静脉再回到肝脏，造成HBV对肝脏的重复感染。

慢性肺心病左心功能探讨

通过42例重型肺心病、7例轻型肺心病、16例肺心病伴发冠心病患者和30例正常人在静息状态下的左右心脏射血分数及其临床资料的分析表明,重型肺心病患者在病情的急性发作期,存在有不同程度的左心功能不全,而轻型肺心病患者则无左心功能不全的表现。表明慢性肺心病仅在病程晚期,才由以右心为主的疾病发展成为全心病。本文还对重型肺心病与肺心病伴发冠心病患者的左心功能进行比较,结果表明,肺心病伴发冠心病患者左室功能受损程度更为明显,双重病因导致的左室功能减退,常造成心肌更严重的损害而且不容易恢复。
