本文对104侧上肢桡动脉第一段和63例成人离体心脏之冠状动脉及其主要分支,根据临床应用进行了观测。结果:桡动脉长度为22.10±1.2cm;外径(下同):上端为3.00±0.6mm,下端为2.60±0.6mm。后降支(房室交点下1cm处)为2.41±0.4mm,左右心耳与肺劝脉交角下1cm处的前降支为3.83±0.6mm,右冠状动脉主干为3.79±0.7m。距离:自主动脉前窦上2cm至前降支中点的长度为6.61±0.5cm,经右冠状沟至房室交点的长度为11.80±1.5cm。测量数据提示:以桡动脉为移植体足以吻接任何冠状动脉。本文尚阐述和讨论了该术式的局解手术学基础和操作程序,对冠状动脉旁路术(CABO)中常用的几种移植体之利弊进行了评     

Donor conditions and graft survival - a retrospective study

In a retrospective study (one centre) the influence of donor and recipient factors were evaluated (n = 308). Head injury as the cause of death and anastomotic time less than 35 min were associated with a significantly better graft survival rate (P < 0.05). Although some of the donor factors influence graft survival, a stricter selection of grafts is not advisable, firstly because fewer kidneys would then be offered, and secondly because even comparatively bad graft survival rates are still better than dialysis.     

A simple model describes large individual differences in simultaneous colour contrast

We report experimental evidence for substantial individual differences in the susceptibility to simultaneous colour contrast. Interestingly, we found that not only the general amount of colour induction varies across observers, but also the general shape of the curves describing asymmetric matching data. A simple model based on von Kries adaptation and crispening describes the data rather well when we regard its free parameters as observer specific. We argue that the von Kries component reflects the action of a temporal adaptation mechanism, while the crispening component describes the action of the instantaneous, purely spatial mechanism most appropriately labeled simultaneous colour contrast. An interesting consequence of this view is that traditional ideas about the general characteristics of simultaneous contrast must be considered as misleading. According to Kirschmann’s 4th law, for instance, the simultaneous contrast effect should increase with increasing saturation of the surround, but crispening predicts the converse. Based on this reasoning, we offer a plausible explanation for the mixed evidence on the validity of Kirschmann’s 4th law. We also argue that simultaneous contrast, the crispening effect, Meyer’s effect and the gamut expansion effect are just different names for the same basic phenomenon.     

The Evolution of Nonimmune Histological Injury and Its Clinical Relevance in Adult-Sized Kidney Grafts in Pediatric Recipients

To describe the evolution, risk factors and impact of nonimmune histological injury after pediatric kidney transplantation, we analyzed 245 renal allograft protocol biopsies taken regularly from the time of transplantation to 2 years thereafter in 81 consecutive rejection-free pediatric recipients of an adult-sized kidney. Isometric tubular vacuolization was present early after transplantation was not progressive, and was associated with higher tacrolimus pre-dose trough levels. Chronic tubulo-interstitial damage and tubular microcalcifications were already noted at 3 months, were progressive and had a greater association with small recipient size, male donor gender, higher donor age and female recipient gender, but not with tacrolimus exposure. Renal function assessment showed that older recipients had a significant increase in absolute glomerular filtration rate with time after transplantation, which differed from small recipients who showed no increase. It is concluded that progressive, functionally relevant, nonimmune injury is detected early after adult-sized kidney transplantation in pediatric recipients. Renal graft ischemia associated with the donor-recipient size discrepancy appears to be a greater risk factor for this chronic histological injury, suggesting that the exploration of additional therapeutic approaches to increase allograft perfusion could further extend the graft survival benefit of adult-sized kidneys transplanted into small children.     

Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation in the United States, 1996–2005

Kidney and pancreas transplantation in 2005 improved in quantity and outcome quality, despite the increasing average age of kidney graft recipients, with 56% aged 50 or older. Geography and ABO blood type contribute to the discrepancy in waiting time among the deceased donor (DD) candidates. Allocation policy changes are decreasing the median times to transplant for pediatric recipients. Overall, 6% more DD kidney transplants were performed in 2005 with slight increases in standard criteria donors (SCD) and expanded criteria donors (ECD). The largest increase (39%) was in donation after cardiac death (DCD) from non‐ECD donors. These DCD, non‐ECD kidneys had equivalent outcomes to SCD kidneys. 1‐, 3‐ and 5‐year unadjusted graft survival was 91%, 80% and 70% for non‐ECD‐DD transplants, 82%, 68% and 53% for ECD‐DD grafts, and 95%, 88% and 80% for living donor kidney transplants. In 2005, 27% of patients were discharged without steroids compared to 3% in 1999. Acute rejection decreased to 11% in 2004. There was a slight increase in the number of simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplants (895), with fewer pancreas after kidney transplants (343 from 419 in 2004), and a stable number of pancreas alone transplants (129). Pancreas underutilization appears to be an ongoing issue.     

去除外膜的外周神经移植对大鼠脊髓损伤的影响

目的检测大鼠脊髓损伤经显微外科技术处理的自体外周神经移植后神经纤维的再通及后肢功能恢复情况。方法利用改良Allen撞击方法建立脊髓打击损伤模型，12周后，将大鼠分为2组，实验组切取后肢腓肠神经，利用显微外科技术去除神经外膜，将其修剪成小段，游离移植于脊髓损伤处，对照组仅显露脊髓损伤段，不作神经移植。分三个时相点（1、2、3个月）进行辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）逆行示踪，并观察损伤移植处的形态学变化及大鼠后肢运动功能恢复情况。结果损伤移植处脊髓的形态学明显好转；损伤移植处上段脊髓中，移植1个月组有HRP阳性标记物，以后逐渐增多；移植组大鼠后肢运动功能明显恢复。结论经显微外科技术预处理外周神经组织移植后可促进大鼠脊髓结构和功能的恢复。     

Vascular PET Prostheses Surface Modification with Cyclodextrin Coating: Development of a New Drug Delivery System

PURPOSE: Cyclodextrins (CDs) are torus shaped cyclic oligosaccharides with a hydrophobic internal cavity and a hydrophilic external surface. We performed and analysed an antibiotic binding on Dacron (polyethyleneterephtalate, PET) vascular grafts, previously coated with CDs based polymers. METHODS: The CDs coating process was based on the pad-dry-cure method patented in our laboratory. The Dacron prostheses were immersed into a solution containing a polycarboxylic acid, a cyclodextrin and a catalyst, and placed into a thermofixation oven before impregnation with an antibiotic solution (Vancomycin). Biocompatibility tests were performed with L132 human epithelial cells. The antibiotic release in an aqueous medium was assessed by batch type experiments using UV spectroscopy. RESULTS: Viability tests confirmed that the CDs polymers coating the Dacron fibers were not toxic towards L132 cell. Cell proliferation was similar on coated and uncoated grafts. A linear release of Vancomycin was observed over 50 days. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate the feasibility of coating CDs onto vascular Dacron grafts. Biological tests show no toxicity of the different cyclodextrins coated. A linear release of antibiotics was depicted over 50 days, demonstrating that cyclodextrin grafting was an efficient drug delivery system.     

Value of albumin dialysis therapy in severe liver insufficiency

Abstract A blood purification system, molecular adsorbents re-circulating system (MARS), is based on the removal of both protein-bound and water-soluble substances and toxins in the liver. We treated a total of 88 patients within 2 years. Of these patients, 45 had acute liver failure (ALF), 31 had acute decompensation of chronic liver disease, eight had graft failure and four had miscellaneous conditions. Of the patients with ALF, 80% survived; in 23 patients their own liver recovered and 13 patients underwent successful transplantation. Only 23% of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure survived. Most of them were not considered for transplantation due to their having liver failure from alcoholism and from not abstaining from drinking. MARS is a promising therapy for ALF, allowing the patient's own liver to recover or allowing enough time to find a liver graft. Best results were achieved in patients who had been intoxicated with a lethal dose of toxin. On the other hand, we did not observe much benefit in patients with severe acute-on-chronic liver failure (AcoChr) who did not undergo liver transplantation.     

局部手法按摩用于扩张皮瓣的初步探讨

目的总结局部手法按摩用于扩张皮瓣的初步经验。方法自2006年至2007年，我们将手法按摩用于扩张器置入预扩张皮瓣患者21例（35个扩张器）。采用预定的按摩手法，对置入扩张器的皮瓣进行适当按摩。结果本组21例患者，1例因感染取出扩张器，余20例效果满意。与以往未经手法按摩扩张器置入术比较，注水速度明显增快，扩张周期明显缩短。结论局部手法按摩用于扩张皮瓣，安全可靠，效果明显，值得推广。     

额部扩张皮瓣的手术设计

目的 探讨额部扩张皮瓣的手术设计。方法 对121例额、颞部瘢痕、斑痣、血管瘤等皮肤病变切除后的患者采用额部扩张皮瓣进行修复，并比较滑行皮瓣、易位皮瓣及旋转皮瓣的手术效果。结果 115例患者取得良好的手术效果，修复后皮肤弹性良好、颜色较理想、瘢痕较细小；4例患者扩张皮瓣的远端有0．5～1．0cm的坏死，行Ⅱ期瘢痕切除缝合术；2例患者有单侧眉上提，半年后好转。结论 易位皮瓣术后瘢痕明显，尽量少用或不用；旋转皮瓣可以充分利用扩张后“过剩”的皮肤。是一种值得推广的额部皮瓣设计方法。对皮瓣的周密设计并了解不同皮瓣的优缺点。对手术效果及术后并发症的预防非常重要。
