A comparison of conventional and fast spin-echo sequences for the measurement of lesion load in multiple sclerosis using a semi-automated contour technique

Changes on serial assessments of brain MRI lesion load are used for monitoring therapeutic efficacy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We assessed the accuracy and reliability of conventional spin-echo (CSE) and fast spin-echo (FSE) sequences for measurement of lesion volume using a semiautomated contour technique. Cranial CSE and FSE examinations of 18 patients with secondary progressive MS were studied. The mean lesion load was slightly higher with the CSE sequence (p = 0.002). Intraobserver variability was significantly higher for FSE than for CSE, according to both the coefficient of variation between two measurements (mean 2.48 % and 1.35 % respectively, p < 0.05) and back-transformed 95 % limits of agreement (1.005–1.060 for FSE; 0.988–1.019 for CSE). Although FSE sequences are quicker and the total lesion volume measurements are similar to those obtained with CSE, the poorer reproducibility raises doubts about the use of FSE to replace CSE in clinical trials.

Effects of bile acids on ventricular muscle contraction and electrophysiological properties: studies in rat papillary muscle and isolated ventricular myocytes

Summary The effects of sodium salts of various bile acids on the contractile force and the electrophysiological properties of rat ventricular muscle were studied in vitro. Primary, conjugated, and secondary bile acids were studied in a concentration range of 10^–9–10^–6 mol/l, which corresponds to concentrations found in the plasm of patients with cholestatic jaundice. In general, the bile acid induced a negative inotropic effect which was manifested as a reduction in active tension, maximum rate of tension activation, and maximum rate of tension relaxation. Twitch duration and time to peak tension were unaffected by the bile acids. The negative inotropism was associated with a reduction in ventricular action potential duration. Resting potential, action potential amplitude, and maximum upstroke velocity of phase 0 depolarization were unaffected. Voltage clamp experiments in rat ventricular myocytes demonstrated that sodium taurocholate decreased the slow inward current and slightly increased the outward potassium current. Hence, these effects on the membrane currents are probably responsible for the negative inotropic effect. Send offprint requests to O. Binah at the above address

住院脑血管病人主要照顾者负荷

目的 探讨影响住院脑血管病人主要照顾负荷的相关因素。方法采用问卷方式对1997年～2000年60名符合研究对象进行调查。结果脑血管病人的主要照顾中60％为配偶，且年龄较大，知识水平偏低，使其身体、心理、社交方面的负荷增大。同时发现雇用身体及心理压力明显低于家属，但两社交负荷无差异。结论临床护理人员应给予住院病人主要照顾一定的协助及指导，减轻家属的压力，使主要照顾能有效地承担起照顾责任。

Discordance in HIV-1 viral loads and antiretroviral drug concentrations comparing semen and blood plasma

Objectives

For individuals not on antiretroviral therapy, the risk of heterosexual transmission of HIV appears negligible when blood plasma (BP) viral loads are <1500 HIV‐1 RNA copies/mL. It is not clear whether this observation can be extrapolated to individuals on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Because of differential tissue penetration, antiretroviral drug concentrations may be sufficient to maintain an undetectable viral load in the BP yet not achieve adequate levels to suppress HIV in the genital tract. Therefore, we wanted to correlate HIV viral loads and drug concentrations in semen plasma (SP) and BP.

Methods

Thirty‐three men were included. All were on combination antiretroviral therapy with an undetectable BP viral load for at least 1 year. Blood and semen samples were collected within 2 h of each other and tested for HIV RNA by the NucliSens QT (bioMerieux, St Laurent, QC, Canada) method; drug concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.

Results

Two of the 33 patients (6.1%) with BP viral loads below detection had time‐matched HIV viral loads in SP ≥700 copies/mL. Both patients were on efavirenz, the SP concentrations of which were ≤10% of the levels in BP and well below the minimal therapeutic drug monitoring target concentration required to suppress HIV.

Conclusions

Because, at least in part, of poor drug penetration into the genital tract, an undetectable HIV viral load in the BP does not guarantee an undetectable viral load in semen. In view of this, caution should be taken in concluding that patients on HAART with suppressed viraemia are sexually non‐infectious.

影响终末期肾衰竭患者心脏扩大的因素

目的了解成都铁路分局医院血液进化中心终末期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析患者心脏扩大的影响因素,以便提高患者的血液透析质量和生存率。方法回顾本血液净化中心收治的216例终末期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析2月以上患者,根据心脏彩色多普勒检查,分为心脏扩大与心脏未扩大2组,对可能影响心脏扩大的因素:年龄、血液透析病程、每周血液透析时间、高血压、容量超负荷、血红蛋白水平、低蛋白血症等用SPSS10.0软件作Logistic回归分析。结果终末期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析患者216例,心脏扩大者183例,未扩大者33例,心脏扩大的发生率为84.72%。心脏扩大与容量超负荷呈显著正相关,P=0.002,OR值42.619;心脏扩大与高血压呈正相关,P=0.026,OR值15.353;心脏扩大与血红蛋白水平呈负相关,P=0.043,OR值0.934。心脏扩大与年龄、血液透析病程、每周血液透析时间和低蛋白血症无相关关系。结论终未期肾衰竭并维持性血液透析患者心脏扩大发生率高,而容量超负荷、高血压、血红蛋白水平是影响它的关键,高血压及容量超负荷是促进心脏扩大的独立危险因素,血红蛋白水平下降亦是促进心脏扩大的独立危险因素。
