近视性屈光参差的功能性磁共振成像研究

目的利用血氧水平依赖性功能性磁共振成像(BOLD-fMR I)技术,探索人类近视性屈光参差是否对大脑皮层功能和结构造成影响。方法采用无磁MR I专用眼镜纠正屈光不正,以1.5T磁共振成像系统采集8例近视性屈光参差者枕叶视皮层兴趣区BOLD-fMR I数据,比较双眼皮层激活部位及范围的不同,及视力较差眼屈光纠正前后皮层激活情况的变化,分析其改变特点及机制。结果矫正屈光基础上,近视性屈光参差者双眼激活范围没有明显差异(P>0.05);视力较差眼屈光矫正前后皮层激活范围有明显差异(P<0.05)。结论人类近视性屈光参差可能没有发生明显的皮层功能损害及优势眼的转移;配镜可明显提高视力较差眼的皮层激活,应尽早配镜或手术矫正。

Genetic variation in serotonin transporter alters resting brain function in healthy individuals.

BACKGROUND: Perfusion functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the effect of genetic variation of the human serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene (5-HTTLPR, SLC6A4) on resting brain function of healthy individuals. METHODS: Twenty-six healthy subjects, half homozygous for the 5-HTTLPR short allele (s/s group) and half homozygous for the long allele (l/l group), underwent perfusion functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging during a resting state. The two genotype groups had no psychiatric illness and were similar in age, gender, and personality scores. RESULTS: Compared with the l/l group, the s/s group showed significantly increased resting cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the amygdala and decreased CBF in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. The effect of functional modulation in these regions by 5-HTTLPR genotype cannot be accounted for by variations in brain anatomy, personality, or self-reported mood. CONCLUSIONS: The 5-HTTLPR genotype alters resting brain function in emotion-related regions in healthy individuals, including the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Such alterations suggest a broad role of the 5-HTT gene in brain function that may be associated with the genetic susceptibility for mood disorders such as depression.

大鼠大脑中动脉闭塞后丘脑钙调磷酸酶含量与活性的研究

目的 揭示大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)后丘脑钙调磷酸酶(CaN)的时空变化规律，探讨CaN的作用机制。方法 制备大鼠大脑中动脉永久性闭塞模型，分别测定缺血后不同时间点病灶侧丘脑CaN的活性和含量。结果 缺血后24h始丘脑CaN的含量下降且不恢复；CaN的活性在缺血后2h和4h减弱，6h始恢复至正常水平。可见，CaN的活性与含量分离。结论 大脑中动脉闭塞后丘脑CaN活性独特的时间变化规律显示其参与介导继发性丘脑损伤，可能具有毒性作用。

Interobserver Agreement for the Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism on Computed Tomography Chest Angiography and Indirect Venography of the Lower Extremities in Emergency Department Patients

Objectives: To determine interobserver agreement between radiologists for computed tomography (CT) angiography and venography. CT venography of the lower extremities combined with standard CT angiography of the chest may result in an increased overall diagnosis rate of venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis).
Methods: The study had a retrospective cohort design. The population consisted of emergency department patients who were evaluated for suspected pulmonary embolism. A random sample of 50 patients diagnosed and treated for venous thromboembolism and 50 age- and gender-matched patients whose CT angiograms and venograms were read as negative were enrolled. The original reading (R1) was compared with readings of two study radiologists: R2, a general radiologist, and R3, a radiologist with fellowship training in cross-sectional imaging. All readers were blinded to each other.
Results: Both R2 and R3 found both CT angiogram and venogram components technically adequate in 95% (95% CI = 89% to 98%) and 86% (95% CI = 78% to 92%) of studies, respectively. The agreement was very good for CT angiography (lowest agreement = 92%; lowest κ = 0.83) and was good for CT venography (85%, κ = 0.65). In nine cases, R1 read the CT angiogram as negative but the venogram as positive for DVT, whereas both R2 and R3 read both components as negative in four of these nine, suggesting a false-positive isolated DVT rate of 44% (95% CI = 19% to 73%). In no case did R1 read both scan components as negative when R2 and R3 agreed on presence of pulmonary embolism or DVT.
Conclusions: Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism on CT angiography is more reliable than diagnosis of isolated DVT on CT venography.

在深静脉血栓—肺栓塞病程中腔静脉滤器的应用价值分析

目的：探讨腔静脉滤器(Vena cava filter VCF)在深静脉血栓(Deep venous thrombosis DVT)—肺栓塞(Pulmonary embolism PE)病程中的应用价值。方法：结合本组25例高危深静脉血栓一肺栓塞患者，对其中24例置放5种构型的永久型或临时型下腔静脉滤器(IVCF)26枚的临床疗效、影响病程与预后因素及病生理改变，复习文献分析讨论。结果：DVT有可能脱落导致PE或致死性肺栓塞；置放IVCF可有效预防肺栓塞，早期进行溶栓治疗，改变预后。结论：严格按适应证植入IVCF，对DVT—PE的早期治疗和预防致死性肺栓塞有重要意义，但其应用价值需进行综合评价和进一步探讨。
