螨类接种豚鼠气管引起的肺部病变

本文首次报导了螨类接种豚鼠气管所引起的肺部病变。螨类接种后的第6天发现肺部已形成典型的结节性病灶。结节呈圆锥形,淡黄色,直径1～5mm之间。镜下主要表现为细支气管和细支气管周围的病变。和早年报导的猴肺螨病肺部病变比较,有以下不同,肺实质内有明显的异物肉芽肿形成,炎症反应中嗜酸性细胞浸润不明显,而有更多的异物巨细胞形成;细支气管周围的小动脉受到损害:部分小动脉壁平滑肌明显增厚,以致腔隙变窄,部分小动脉腔内可见到虫体。根据我们实验研究证明,螨类接种豚鼠气管可引起肺部的典型病变.因而认为用豚鼠作为肺螨病的动物模型是有希望的。     

广西壮、汉族体重指数与血压、血脂、脂肪肝等相关因素的关系

目的：探讨广西地区人群体重指数（BMI）与血压、血糖、血脂、脂肪肝、心电图异常、性别、民族及其他心脑血管病史等因素的相关性，并比较这些因素在壮族与汉族人群中的差异。方法：对在本院及田阳县、田东县参加体检的1105例壮族与汉族人群询问病史并检查身高、体重、血压、空腹血糖、血脂、肝脏B超、心电图等。结果：在按制其他因素后，汉族人群BMI与脂肪肝、舒张压水平及高血压病史呈密切正相关关系，男性BMI高于女性；壮族人群BMI与脂肪肝、血清甘油三酯浓度及收缩压水平有密切正相关关系，汉族人群的年龄、BMI、血清甘油三酯浓度、胆固醇浓度、收缩压水平、脂肪肝检出率及心电图异常检出率均较壮族人群高。结论：肥胖与脂肪肝、血压、血脂密切相关，且广西汉族人群肥胖、脂肪肝、高血脂、高血压及心电图异常较壮族人群更常见。     

Symptoms of contruction workers exposed to whole body vibration and local vibration

Summary To study the effects of construction machinery operation on subjective symptoms, a questionnaire survey was caried out among construction machinery operators by a self-reporting method. Subjects were 184 power shovel operators, 127 bulldozer operators, 44 forklift operators as operator groups, and 44 office workers as a control. Their ages were in a range of 30–49 years. The questionnaire contained 20 symptoms referring to fatigue, digestive problems, and upper or lower limbs or back problems. The prevalence rate and symptom characteristics were examined. The dominant symptoms of the operator groups were stiff shoulder, low back pain, and stomack symptoms. The prevalence rate of low back pain was significantly different between forklift operators and controls. No significant differences were found in the symptoms of upper limbs and fingers between operator groups and controls. The prevalence of Raynaud's phenomenon was 0.5%–2.3% in the operator groups and 2.3% in the control group.     

Treatment of established osteoporosis with 1α (OH) vitamin D3 and low dose intermittent elcatonin (eel calcitonin derivative)

In addition to estrogen widely used all over the world for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, calcitonin and vitamin D derivatives are commonly employed to treat established osteoporosis at higher age in Japan. In order to critically assess the usefulness of vitamin D derivatives and calcitonin alone or in combination on the advancement of vertebral deformity at higher age, 32 osteoporotic patients with vertebral deformity with the mean age of 79 were randomly divided into 4 groups with indistinguishable age and severity of the vertebral deformity. Group 1 served as the control without specific medications for osteoporosis. Group 2 was treated with 10 units elcatonin (eel calcitonin derivative) injected intramuscularly twice a week. Group 3 was given 0.75 to 1.5μg/day 1α (OH) vitamin D₃ orally. Group 4 was given a combination of treatments used in Groups 2 and 3. In the lateral X-ray film of the spine taken prior to the test and every 6 months thereafter, the shape of the vertebral body T₈ through L₄ was monitored by measuring the anterior, central and posterior heights. Decrease of the vertebral height ratio; anterior or middle height/posterior or adjacent intact posterior height, by more than 20% of the original value or from above to below 0.80 both appeared to be inhibited during administration of 1α (OH) vitamin D₃. Such effect seems to be augmented by simultaneous administration of elcatonin. Actual decrease of vertebral height ratio values and the per cent fall from the original value significantly less in Groups 3 and 4 than in Group 1. Development of vertebral deformity assessed by the changes of the vertebral height thus appears to decrease during treatment with 1α (OH) vitamin D₃ especially together with calcitonin in established osteoporosis.     

A Double Blind,Placebo-Controlled Trial of Ipriflavone for Prevention of Postmenopausal Spinal Bone Loss

One hundred ninety-eight postmenopausal women (aged 50–65 years) with vertebral bone density (VBD) 1 SD below the mean value for normal, age-matched, postmenopausal subjects were enrolled in six Italian centers and 134 completed 2 years of treatment. All subjects were randomly allocated to a 2-year treatment with oral ipriflavone (200 mg t.i.d.) or a matching placebo, according to a double-blind, parallel group design. All patients also received an oral daily calcium supplement of 1 g as calcium carbonate. VBD and markers of bone turnover were measured at baseline, and every 6 months. A complete routine analysis of liver and kidney functions along with hematological parameters were measured before and at the end of treatment period. The valid completers analysis showed a significant increase of VBD in ipriflavone-treated women with average percent changes of +1.4 after 1 year, and +1% at the end of treatment period (P < 0.05). The placebo group presented a significant decrease of VBD after 2 years of treatment (P < 0.05). The difference between treatments was significant (P < 0.01). The intention to treat analysis confirmed the significant decrease of VBD in the placebo group, with no changes in ipriflavone-treated women. Skeletal ALP significantly decreased in ipriflavone-treated women (P < 0.05). Serum BGP and urine HOP/Cr showed a significant decrease only in ipriflavone-treated women, suggesting an inhibitory effect on bone turnover rate. Adverse reactions, mainly gastrointestinal, occurred to a similar extent in the two treatment groups. The evaluation of patients' compliance, assessed by residual tablets count, revealed a drug intake of more than 80% after 2 years in 92.5% and 92.8% of patients treated with ipriflavone or placebo, respectively. This study demonstrates that ipriflavone can prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women with low bone mass. Received: 1 April 1996 / Accepted: 5 March 1997     

Thoracoscopic Retrieval of Foreign Bodies After Penetrating Chest Trauma

Video-assisted thoracic surgery or thoracoscopy has proved to be valuable in many settings in thoracic surgery. The use of video-assisted thoracic surgery in trauma has been limited, especially with respect to penetrating trauma. We report the use of thoracoscopy to remove intrathoracic fragments of glass and avert the need for a thoracotomy.     

Voluntary head stabilization in space during oscillatory trunk movements in the frontal plane performed in weightlessness

 The ability voluntarily to stabilize the head in space during lateral rhythmic oscillations (0.59±0.09 Hz) of the trunk has been investigated during microgravity (μG) and normal gravity (nG) conditions (parabolic flights). Five healthy young subjects, who gave informed consent, were examined. The movements were performed with eyes open or eyes closed, during phases of either μG or nG. The main result was that head orientation with respect to vertical may be stabilized about the roll axis under μG with, as well as without vision, despite the reduction in vestibular afferent and muscle proprioceptive inputs. Moreover, the absence of head stabilization about the yaw axis confirms that the degrees of freedom of the neck can be independently controlled, as was previously reported. These results seem to indicate that voluntary head stabilization does not depend crucially upon static vestibular afferents. Head stabilization in space may in fact be organized on the basis of either dynamic vestibular afferents or a short-term memorized postural body schema.
