A new interstitial deletion of chromosome No. 4 del(4) (q22::q25)

A female child is described with multiple anomalies including epicanthus, frontal bossing, short sternum, polydactyly, cleft of the larynx, renal cysts, and unusual dermatoglyphics. She died aged 3 months and was found to have a unique de novo deletion of chromosome No. 4 (q22-q25). This case is compared with other long arm deletions of 4q and reference made to assignment of genetic markers to chromosome No. 4.     

微波体模

用水、盐,聚氯乙烯粉和羧甲基纤维钠四种材料配制成一种适用的微波体模(模拟肌肉组织)。该体模的复介电系数在300～2500MHz范围内与实际人体肌肉组织的误差≤5％。这种体模的优点是材料立足国内,价廉,室温下配制,使用方便。本文也给出这种体模的温度特性,稳定性和热学特性,供电磁场生物效应和微波热疗等研究使用。     

Screening for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Illinois

Objective: To determine the incidence of infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a tertiary referral center in Chicago, where a similar study had been performed in 1984, to evaluate cases of disease reported to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) in 1993, and to determine laboratory practices used to detect this infection throughout the state.
Methods: During a 6-month period in 1993, all stool specimens at Rush-Presbyterian-St Luke's Medical Center (RPSLMC) were tested for E. coli O157:H7. Reports of diagnosed E. coli O157:H7 cases investigated by IDPH were also reviewed. A survey of 73 hospitals in the Chicago area was performed to determine routine culturing practices, specifically, the selection of stool specimens for evaluation for this pathogen.
Results: In the RPSLMC survey, two cases were identified among 1985 samples (incidence 0.1%), similar to the 0.08% incidence detected in a similar study conducted at the same institution in 1984. Through passive surveillance, the IDPH received 44 reports of E. coli O157:H7 in 1993. The hospital survey revealed that, in the seven labs testing all stool specimens for E. coli O157:H7, an incidence of 16/8137 specimens (0.2%) was determined.
Conclusions: These data suggest that sporadic E. coli O157:H7 remains uncommon in Illinois and that the incidence may not have changed over a 9-year period. The low yield and substantial cost of culturing all stools suggest that only specimens from patients with bloody diarrhea should be evaluated routinely in areas of low endemicity.     

睫状前动脉的巨微解剖及其临床意义

对30只成人和6只新生儿眼球的睫状前动脉的数目、起点外径、长度、行径及侧支吻合进行观测.上、下、内睫状前动脉多为二支,各占76.7%;73.3%;83.3%.外睫状前动脉多为一支(76.6%).上、下、内、外睫状前动脉的长度分别为5.58土0.44mm;4.79士0.72mm;4.43土0. 76mm;8.00土1.07mm.起点外径分别为0.20mm;士0.04mm;0.I8士0.02mm;0.21土0.03mm.在巩膜表面和虹膜大环处睫状前动脉的侧支之间以及侧支与睫状后长动脉之间相互吻合,这些吻合在眼前节侧支循环方面起一定作用.文中对眼直肌手术时如何减少或避免睫状前动脉损伤等问题做了探讨.     

红细胞聚集与取向对其悬浮液电阻抗的影响——I.实验研究

本文通过测量具有不同流变特性的红细胞悬浮液电阻抗的动态与静态变化，研究了红细胞聚集与取向对其悬浮液电阻抗的影响。首次得出以下结论：１．红细胞聚集使其悬浮液电阻抗显著减小。２．由于低切变率下红细胞聚集与高切变率下红细胞取向的共同影响，使血液电阻抗随切变率的变化具有双相特性。这增加了对血液电特性的新认识，表明可利用电阻抗测定红细胞聚性。     

16例尤文(Ewing)肉瘤报告及文献复习

对16例尤文肉瘤作临床病理回顾。本组年龄平均17.4岁,男女比例为4.3:1。2/3见于长骨,股骨最多,次为盆骨。病程平均9.5月。最常见的症状是疼痛,其次是肿块,发热一般为低中度热,WBC轻度升高。巨检肿瘤自髓腔经骨皮质浸润软组织,鱼肉状,常见出血坏死。镜下为密集、一致的小圆细胞;纤维组织小梁和形成的不规则小叶;常见假菊团以及出血坏死。本组诊断及治疗大多己属晚期,预后很差,约83%病例1年内死亡。建议重视临床、X光和病理三方面相结合,使本病获早期诊治。

补肾中药对老年大鼠脑组织中胆碱能M受体分布的影响

采用受体放射配基结合分析、原位杂交和放射自显影术等方法,研究胆碱能M受体、M1受体mRNA在脑组织中的分布,观察补肾中药对胆碱能M受体的含量、功能及分布的影响,探讨补肾中药延缓脑组织衰老的机理.结果显示:老年大鼠大脑皮层、海马、纹状体中M受体明显减少,放射自显影的灰度值降低,胆碱能M1受体mRNA在老年大鼠纹状体部位的表达减少,在其他部位的不明显.补肾中药明显增加老年大鼠胆碱能M受体的数量,对脑内胆碱能M1受体mRNA转录水平降低的部位有改善作用.补肾中药可通过改善胆碱能M1受体的mRNA表达、增加脑内胆碱能M1受体数量来延缓脑组织衰老.
