慢性肾脏病非透析患者脑钠素与动脉粥样硬化及心功能的关系

目的 研究脑钠素（BNP）与慢性肾脏病（CKD）非透析患者动脉粥样硬化及心功能不全的关系。 方法 采用双抗夹心免疫荧光法检测203例CKD非透析患者与16例高血压患者对照组全血BNP水平，分析其与颈动脉超声结果、心脏彩超结果及既往心血管疾病史的关系。 结果 CKD非透析患者BNP水平与对照组相比显著升高[M（范围）：54.40(15.10～ 173.00) ng/L比9.35(7.35～15.00) ng/L，P < 0.01]。Spearman相关分析显示CKD患者BNP与颈动脉内膜中层厚度（IMT）、左室心肌重量指数（LVMI）等呈正相关。存在颈动脉斑块、左室肥厚或既往发生过心血管事件的患者血BNP水平显著增高。多元回归分析显示LVMI、既往心血管事件均是影响BNP水平的独立因素。 结论 CKD非透析患者BNP水平和动脉粥样硬化性疾病、左室肥厚及心功能不全相关，提示BNP水平可作为一项评价CKD非透析患者心功能及动脉粥样硬化的敏感生物学指标。     

精神分裂症患者事件相关电位P300改变对语词记忆能力的影响

目的探讨精神分裂症患者的语词记忆能力与认知电位之间的相互关系。方法对102例精神分裂症患者首先进行了听觉诱发电位P300测定，然后按有无P300潜伏期延长或/和波幅降低分为P300正常与异常组，再采用选择性提醒测验方法对其进行语词记忆测验。结果P300正常组30例在10次语词记忆测验中通过总例数28例，占93.3%，前6次通过的比例为56.7%；而P300异常组72例在10次语词记忆测验中通过的总例数只有43例，占59.7%，前6次通过的比例只有25%；两组之间的差异非常显著（P〈0.001）。P300异常组回忆总数、保持数、长时再现数及恒定长时再现数减少，而不恒定长时再现数、提醒总数及插入数显著增多，两组比较有显著性差异（P〈0.01）。结论P300异常的精神分裂症患者较P300正常的精神分裂症患者存在更严重的语词记忆障碍。     

心脏手术后的认知功能障碍

大脑功能障碍是指智力下降等不同程度脑功能改变。随着心脏外科的发展，有关中枢神经系统并发症日益受到重视。 1 危险因素 术前已有中风、主动脉近端硬化、贫血与老龄化、高血压和糖尿病等均可使体外循环后中风风险增加。术中发生中风的主要风险因子是体外循环时间和反复地钳夹主动脉。其他如围术期心律失常、低心排综合征等情况也会使体外循环后认知功能障碍增加。     

Determination of diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in metals and their elastic modulus by generalised impedance

Transport of hydrogen in elastic metals has been analysed in terms of an impedance-like non-linear transfer function (TF). The equilibrium in a membrane specimen is perturbed by a sinusoidal signal of the concentration of hydrogen, of large amplitude, applied to one of its surfaces. The fundamental harmonics of periodically reproducible flux at the same surface is considered as a response. The TF is defined as the ratio of the signal to the response. The power of the said TF in determining the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in a metal–hydrogen system and its bulk elastic modulus was analysed for the example of α-phase Pd–H and Pd₈₁Pt₁₉–H systems. It has been found that such a TF is suitable for determination of the above parameters. Also, the sensitivity of these estimates to the uncertainty of concentration of hydrogen in the metal, its partial molar volume and the thickness of the specimen has been explored.

Assessment of anti-inflammatory activity of Poria cocos in sodium lauryl sulphate-induced irritant contact dermatitis

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of Poria cocos (PoCo) on experimentally induced irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) in a repeated sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) irritation model. METHODS: The anti-irritative effect of PoCo was evaluated with a visual score and quantified by non-invasive bioengineering methods, namely chromametry and transepidermal water loss. Three concentrations of PoCo in base cream DAC (amphiphilic emollient; German pharmacopoeia) were tested in a 4-day repetitive irritation test using SLS. RESULTS: A statistically significant anti-inflammatory activity was observed for PoCo by all three methods when applied in parallel to the induction period of ICD. Application of PoCo after induction of ICD once a day for 5 days, starting just at the end of 4 days, was without any effect. CONCLUSION: An anti-inflammatory efficacy of PoCo on the elicitation phase of the ICD induced by repeated SLS test could be observed and quantified by three independent, non-invasive biophysical assessment parameters. This effect can be explained by its influence on pro-inflammatory enzymes, namely phospholipase A2.

Neuropsychological test for the detection of dementia in elderly individuals: the Nishimura Dementia Test

Background: Progression of the core and accessory symptoms of dementia can be slowed if drug therapies and psychosocial interventions are administered at an early stage. The aim of this study was to develop and standardize a neuropsychological test for the elderly that can detect dementia at an early stage with high sensitivity and can evaluate a wide range of severities of dementia based on assessments of various cognitive functions. Methods: A preliminary test consisting of 23 items and the Nishimura Mental State Scale for the Elderly (NM Scale), which evaluates the mental functions of elderly individuals by observing their actual behaviors in daily life, were administered to 448 elderly subjects. After applying Hayashi’s quantification theory type I to the results, we revised the preliminary test to construct a neuropsychological test for the elderly, which we named the Nishimura Dementia Test (ND Test), and standardized it. Then, we examined its validity and test–retest reliability. Results: Among the 448 subjects, there was a strong correlation between the ND Test scores and NM Scale scores. The ND Test showed a good general agreement rate for the discrimination of the severity of dementia, and good sensitivity and specificity of discrimination of dementia when compared with the actual NM Scale. Using different groups of elderly subjects, the ND Test showed validity and test–retest reliability, and the ND Test scores showed strong correlations with the Revised Hasegawa Dementia Scale scores and the Mini‐Mental State Examination scores. Conclusions: The ND Test is based on assessment of a variety of cognitive functions and can evaluate a wide range of severities of dementia with good validity and reliability.     

腔隙性脑梗死和动脉粥样硬化血栓性脑梗死患者微量蛋白尿的研究

目的明确脑梗死患者微量蛋白尿(MA)阳性率及腔隙性脑梗死(lacunar infarction,LI)和动脉粥样硬化血栓性脑梗死(atherothrombotic infarction,AI)患者MA阳性率是否存在差别。方法采用竞争性放射免疫分析方法对未合并肝肾功能不全等影响尿蛋白排泄率(UAER)检测结果的83例LI和78例AI患者,以及40例原发性高血压对照者进行UAER测定。统计脑梗死患者MA的阳性率,比较合并高血压的LI、AI与高血压对照组MA阳性率。结果161例脑梗死患者MA阳性率为42·9%;单纯合并高血压病史的45例LI患者和34例AI患者MA阳性率分别为51·1%和58·8%,均高于高血压对照组(P<0·05),但两组间比较无统计学意义。结论脑梗死患者呈现MA高发率;合并高血压病史的LI和AI患者MA阳性率无差别;MA会增加脑梗死的发生风险。
