Infantile hypopituitarism: etiological variability evidenced by MRI

In this study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to document potentially present morphostructural abnormalities of the hypothalamopituitary region in seven infants (age 0–21 months) who presented very early in life with clinical and biochemical evidence of hypopituitarism. Four infants had associated congenital cerebro-facial malformations.The following anatomical abnormalities were identified in variable combinations: ectopic neurohypophysis absence of the pituitary stalk, extreme elongation of the pituitary stalk, aplasia of the anterior pituitary lobe and no identification of the hypothalamopituitary complex.MRI proved to be very sensitive in the identification of structural malformations of the hypothalamopituitary region in infants with or without cerebro-facial malformations. AllhwuLll the magnetic resonance image does not appear to be a good predictor of endocrine dysfunction, it provides us more insight into the precise aetiology of this disorder and may be therefore of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic importance.     

2型糖尿病患者胆结石发生的高危因素分析

目的：探讨2型糖尿病患者胆结石与高胰岛素、脂代谢紊乱的关系。方法：采用病例对照研究的方法，观察50例伴胆结石与60例不伴胆结石的2型糖尿病患者血清胰岛素、胰岛素敏感指数、C肽、血脂的变化。结果：发现伴胆结石患者的血清胰岛素、C肽、甘油三酯、胆固醇显著高于不伴胆结石组（P＜0．05），高密度脂蛋白、胰岛素敏感指数显著低于不伴胆结石组（P＜0．05），载脂蛋白－A1明显降低（P＜0．01），而两组低密度脂蛋白、脂蛋白－a、载脂蛋白－B1无差异。结论：高胰岛素血症、脂代谢异常可能中老年2型糖尿病患者胆结石 形成的高危因素。     

妊娠期肝内胆汁淤积症与血清甘胆酸的关系

检测了７４例正常足月妊娠妇女和５６例妊娠期肝内胆汁淤积症（ＩＣＰ）患血清甘胆酸（ＣＧ）的浓度，结果ＩＣＰ患血ＣＧ浓度显升高（１３．５２±９．５４ｍｇ／Ｌ），为正常孕妇（２．６７±１．９２ｍｇ／Ｌ）的５～１０倍，根据血ＣＧ浓度将ＩＣＰ患分为〈１０、１０～２０，〉２０ｍｇ／Ｌ３组，将３组胎儿出生情况与正常组相对照，结果显示血ＣＧ浓度〈１０ｍｇ／Ｌ组羊水胎粪污染率及新生儿窒息率与正常组无差异，而     

Aldose reductase inhibition with imirestat — effects on impulse conduction and insulin-stimulation of Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase activity in sciatic nerves of streptozotocin-diabetic rats

Summary This study describes reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and increased resistance to hypoxia-induced conduction failure in sciatic nerves of rats after four weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes (both effects were significant at p <0.05). These changes occurred in the absence of any deficit in the steady-state ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of sciatic nerve endoneurial homogenates. The addition of 10 nmol/l insulin to endoneurial homogenates from control animals resulted in a 34% increase in ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity and a 19% reduction in ouabain-insensitive ATPase activity (both p <0.01). This stimulation of ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity by insulin did not occur in homogenates from diabetic rats. Treating diabetic rats daily with the aldose reductase inhibitor, imirestat (1 mg/kg) improved nerve conduction velocity (p <0.05) but was without effect upon the resistance to hypoxic conduction blockade or the deficit in insulin-stimulated oubain-sensitive ATPase activity. These data suggest that in streptozotocin-diabetic rats the functional disorders of reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and increased resistance to hypoxic conduction blockade do not share a common aetiology and that impaired nerve conduction is not related to reduced maximal potential oubain-sensitive ATPase activity.     

2型糖尿病患者外周血白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的变化及意义

目的研究2型糖尿病DM患者外周血白细胞中iNOSmRNA表达的变化及其与糖尿病肾病DN发生、发展的关系。方法101例2型DM患者,根据尿微量白蛋白排泄率和血肌酐水平分为单纯DM组和不同的DN组,用原位杂交法检测外周血白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的阳性细胞的百分率,并与21例健康体检者进行比较。结果早期DN组白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的百分率明显高于对照组、DM组及晚期DN组(P<0.001)。结论外周血白细胞iNOSmRNA表达的变化参与了DN的发生、发展。     

消化道恶性肿瘤确诊初期患者社会支持与生命质量的调查

目的 调查消化道恶性肿瘤确诊初期的患者半年中的社会支持和生命质量变化。方法 采用社会支持评定量表和CARES-SF对146名患者的社会支持和生命质量进行为期半年的追踪调查。结果 消化道恶性肿瘤确诊初期患者的生命质量为中等，其中婚姻关系维度、性关系维度得分半年后下降。患者所获得的社会支持最多的是情感支持，其次是实际支持，信息支持为第三位。情感支持大多来源于家庭成员，信息支持大多来源于医务人员。患者大多很少参与社交活动。在半年中情感支持、实际支持、信息支持的变化模式不一。诊断初期的患者不能有效地利用社会支持。结论 应对确诊初期患者加强咨询，以充分识别和利用社会资源。应持续评估患者的生命质量和社会支持，并制订干预方案，提高消化道恶性肿瘤确诊初期患者的社会支持程度，最终提高其生命质量。     

外科围手术期糖尿病的治疗

目的:探讨外科手术病人伴发糖尿病的治疗及围手术期处理。方法:对1998年至2000年收治的125例外科手术伴发糖尿病病例进行回顾总结。结果:93例给予补液、降糖等处理无1例死亡。其他32例未进行有效的降糖处理,死亡5例。结论:外科手术病人伴发糖尿病时,围手术期要控制血糖,可以降低手术并发症及死亡率。     

老年病人鼻饲方法的改进

目的探讨增加置管深度并抬高床头对预防老年鼻饲病人食物反流的效果。方法将 5 75例需鼻饲的卧床老年病人按鼻饲医嘱时间顺序及不平衡指数最小原则分成三组 ,分别给予教科书中的常规置管深度置管 (对照组 )、置管深度延长 10cm(观察 1组 )、置管深度延长 10cm并抬高床头 30～ 45°(观察 2组 )进行鼻饲。结果三组病人食物反流率比较 ,P <0 .0 1;观察 1、2组分别与对照组比较 ,P <0 .0 5、P <0 .0 1;观察 1组与观察 2组比较 ,P <0 .0 1。增加置管深度并抬高床头其食物反流率最低 ,仅增加置管深度次之 ,常规置管最高。结论增加置管深度并抬高床头可显著降低老年鼻饲病人食物反流发生率。
