Sebaceous glands and hair follices in the cervix uteri

We report a case of ectopic ectodermal structures in the ectocervix of a 51-year-old female. Sebaceous glands and numerous abnormal hair follicles were present in the stroma of an otherwise normal cervix.

Evidence for reduced cerebellar volumes in trichotillomania.

BACKGROUND: Limited knowledge exists regarding the neurobiology of trichotillomania (TTM). Cerebellum (CBM) volumes were explored, given its role in complex, coordinated motor sequences. METHODS: Morphometric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were obtained for 14 female subjects with DSM-IV diagnoses of TTM and 12 age-, education-, and gender-matched normal control (NC) participants. Parcellation was performed utilizing a recently developed methodology to measure subterritory volumes of the CBM. Regions were defined based on knowledge of the structural and functional subunits of the CBM. RESULTS: As predicted, significant group differences were reported for CBM raw cortical volumes (p = .008) that survived correction for total brain volume (TBV; p = .037) and head circumference (HC; p = .011). A priori and post hoc group raw volume comparisons for CBM subterritories and functional clusters revealed many significant differences. However, most differences failed to withstand correction for total CBM volumes (TCV). Smaller volumes were consistently reported for the TTM versus NC cohorts. Total Massachusetts General Hospital Hair Pulling Scale (MGHHPS) scores were significantly inversely correlated with left primary sensorimotor cluster volumes (p = .008), with smaller volumes associated with more severe TTM symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: These findings implicate the CBM in the neurobiology of TTM, with reduced subterritory volumes reported for the TTM versus NC groups.     

二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸钠驱镍作用的实验研究

本文用大鼠研究了带-SH基的二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸钠(Dithiocarb,简称Na-DDC或称铜试剂)和不带-SH基的新螯合剂(H-73-10)的驱镍作用。结果表明,Na-DDC对羰基镍(Ni(CO)_4〕的驱镍作用明显优于H-73-10;与此相反,H-73-10对硝酸镍〔Ni(NO_3)_2〕染毒大鼠的驱镍作用却明显优于Na-DDC。     

Transforming growth factor alpha treatment alters intracellular calcium levels in hair cells and protects them from ototoxic damage in vitro

To determine if transforming growth factor alpha (TGFα) pretreatment protects hair cells from aminoglycoside induced injury by modifying their intracellular calcium concentration, we assayed hair cell calcium levels in organ of Corti explants both before and after aminoglycoside (i.e. neomycin, 10⁻³M) exposure either with or without growth factor pretreatment. After TGFα (500ng/ml) treatment, the intracellular calcium level of hair cells showed a five-fold increase as compared to the levels observed in the hair cells of control cultures. After ototoxin exposure, calcium levels in hair cells of control explants showed an increase relative to their baseline levels, while in the presence of growth factors pretreatment, hair cells showed a relative reduction in calcium levels. Pretreatment of organ of Corti explants afforded significant protection of hair cell stereocilia bundle morphology from ototoxic damage when compared to explants exposed to ototoxin alone. This study correlates a rise in hair cell calcium levels with the otoprotection of hair cells by TGFα in organ of Corti explants.

立体视锐度与发样十五种元素关系初探

本文采用X－射线荧光分析法测定抚州市区152名健康中小学生（其中立体视锐度异常29人）的头发中Ca、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、As、Mg、Pb、Cd、Mo、Se和Ge等15种元素的含量。结果表明立体视锐度异常儿童头发中Se元素含量较正常组低（P＜0．05），而Zn／Cu比值则明显高于正常组（P＜0．05），提示给予富含硒元素的食物，提高体内硒含量，调整Zn／Cu比值．对防治立体视税度导常发生具有重要作用。

The effects of anesthesia on otoacoustic emissions

We have measured transient-evoked and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) in the chinchilla and compared them in the awake and anesthetized animal (using either ketamine or barbiturate agents). We report a significant increase in OAE amplitudes during anesthesia, particularly using ketamine. These effects are most evident for transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) as measured in the non-linear mode. Our data support the hypothesis that tonic activity levels in cochlear efferents may be reduced by anesthetic effects, either directly or indirectly (e.g., by general reductions in descending pathway activity), and that reduced cochlear efferent activity will result in the observed increase of OAE amplitudes.
