功能性矫治器在正畸矫治中运用的伦理思考

功能性矫治器是正畸临床中常用的一种矫治器，作者从口腔正畸学理论基础出发，探讨了功能性矫治器在正畸矫治作用中存在的伦理道德问题，主要有（1）不能正确的诊断、制定周密的矫治计划。（2）操作不规范、不细致、缺乏敬业精神。（3）态度简单，粗曝，缺乏与患者良好的交流。并提出解决方法（1）刻苦学习专业知识，不断提高诊疗水平及个人修养。（2）建立高度的道德责任感，以严谨的作风，规范的操作为病人服务。（3）尊重、善待青少年，建立良好的医患关系。

目的:测定肺结核、肺肿瘤及非特异性炎症患者注射结核菌素前后痰巨噬细胞的不同数量变化,由此提供一种新的鉴别诊断方法。方法:皮内注射结核菌素、收集注射前、后痰液,测定痰巨噬细胞在不同时间的数量变化。结果:肺结核病人在结核菌素试验后痰巨噬细胞明显增加,肺部肿瘤及非特异性炎症则无显著性变化。结论:肺部患者测定结核菌素前后痰巨噬细胞变化,可作为菌阴肺结核与肺部肿瘤及非特异性炎症鉴别诊断依据之一。     

Enhanced in vivo cytotoxicity of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor with etoposide in human renal cell carcinoma

Summary The combination of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and etoposide (ETP) was evaluated for potential cytotoxic efficacy against a human renal cell carcinoma xenograft using an in vivo assay employing an athymic mouse host with tumor implanted a the subrenal capsule site. Both antitumor efficacy (relative survival or RTS) and toxicity (weight loss) of TNF and ETP alone and in combination were evaluated. While TNF and ETP alone were mildly inhibitory (RTS 90% and 71%, respectively), the combination caused marked tumor inhibition (45% of controls). Host toxicity encountered with the combination did not exceed the toxicity associated with ETP alone, suggesting that the therapeutic index may have been augmented. It is concluded that enhanced antitumor activity without substantial augmentation of toxicity is observed with this combination, providing a rationale for further evaluation of tumor necrosis factor-based regimens for the treatment of advanced renal carcinoma.Supported by a Merit Review grant, VA Medical Research Service, Durham, NC 27710, USA     

老年肝外胆管梗阻85例治疗分析

目的：探讨老年性肝外胆管梗阻的治疗。方法：85例老年胆管梗阻中良性疾病引起的梗阻为59例，主要是由于胆管结石嵌顿MIRRIZI‘S综合征；恶性肿瘤引起的梗阻为26例，主要为壶腹部周围癌，肝门区肿瘤等。手术分别采取胆囊切除术、胆总管切开取石＋T管引流术、胰十二指肠切除术、腹部探查＋内外引流术以及ERCP下行置管内支撑术后引流和ENBD等。结果：良性疾病引起的梗阻中仅1例术后死于ARDS，恶性肿瘤 引起的梗阻者中有11例术后死于肝肾综合征、ARDS和DIC等。结论；手术仍是老年肝外胆管梗阻的首选方法。老年患者合并其它脏器病变，病情较重者如先行胆管引流，能有效降低病死率及延长生命。     

蛋白芯片检测系统(多肿瘤标志物C12系统)的应用评价

目的：应用并评价蛋白芯片检测系统(多肿瘤标志物C12)的临床价值。方法：应用雅培电化学发光系统(ECL)和C12系统双盲法检测41份血清标本。结果：在对照检测达10份标本的AFP、CEA、β-HCG三个项目，C12系统和ECL系统符合性达81．8％以上；C12系统多个指标间可相互支持其准确性，并有助于判断肿瘤来源。结论：C12系统具有较高准确性，其指标间可相互支持，并有助于判断肿瘤源性。     

Serum digoxin and beta-methyldigoxin in elderly patients on hospital admission: correlation with home compliance and clinical variables

Summary Serum digoxin and beta-methyldigoxin (BMD) were measured in 165 elderly patients (age >60 years) admitted to hospital, of whom 109 had been treated at home with digoxin and 56 with BMD.The mean BMD level was significantly lower than that of digoxin (1.1 vs. 1.4 ng/ml). Creatinine clearance and daily dose were the variables most strongly associated with digoxin level, and the prescribed dose and serum albumin were the best predictors of the BMD concentration. Compliance was assessed by a compliance index (CI), namely the ratio of the measured glycoside concentration, corrected for creatinine clearance, over the expected steady-state dose, calculated from a hospitalized reference group. Compliant individuals in both treatment groups, i.e. those with a CI > the median value, were characterized by a lower daily dose and dosage frequency.Toxicity, whether clinical or electrocardiographic, was present in 9% of the patients and was associated only with a significantly higher mean serum level of the drug.     

婴幼儿患者手术的护理要点

目的进一步认识婴幼儿患者实施外科手术的危险性及规范手术配合程序的重要性,提高配合质量,提出手术配合要点。方法回顾近几年168例婴幼儿患者外科手术护理配合,同时结合自己的临床实际经验和手术配合中的体会,提炼出婴幼儿患者手术的护理配合要点。结果婴幼儿患者手术的配合要做好术前评估,掌握患者心肺主要脏器的功能情况,做好充分准备,手术室感染控制,术中的各项检测,监测输液量、速度及体温维持情况。结论掌握婴幼儿患者手术的护理配合要点,可提高手术配合质量和手术成功率。     

Biological characteristics of newly diagnosed poor prognosis acute myelogenous leukemia

A pilot study was conducted of the biological characteristics of the leukemia cells of newly diagnosed patients with poor prognosis acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). This study included measurements of the pretherapy proliferative rate of the leukemia cells in vivo, assessment of differentiation in vivo during remission induction therapy, and the level of expression of the fms, myc, and IL1β genes in pretherapy leukemia cells. Short cell cycle times were characteristic of the best prognostic category and were associated with a rapid reduction in marrow leukemia cells in cytosine arabinoside (araC)-sensitive patients. Expression of c-fms was associated with rapid reduction in marrow leukemia cells during araC therapy and with a successful treatment outcome. Expression of the IL1β gene was associated with short remissions. These studies suggest that when compared to newly diagnosed standard prognosis AML, the leukemia of poor prognosis patients is more likely to exhibit long cell cycle times, low levels of fms expression, and is less likely to be associated with myeloid differentiation during remission induction therapy. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Phase I trial of the polyelectrolyte carbetimer administered i.v. once every four weeks

Summary Carbetimer, a new synthetic low molecular weight polyelectrolyte with a novel structure displayed antitumor activiy in a number of animal tumor model systems and in vitro investigations. Based on these findings it was brought to a phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced malignant disease after failure of conventional treatment or with no conventional treatment available. Forty-eight patients received 98 courses. The schedule was a one hour i.v. infusion every four weeks. The starting dose was 180 mg/m² and dose escalation was performed according to a modified Fibonacci formula up to 16,690 mg/m². At least three patients were treated at each dose level and each patient was eligible to receive repeat courses at the same dose, until progressive disease or dose-limiting toxicity intervened. No hematological toxicity was encountered. Some adverse effects such as reversible proteinuria, hypercalcaemia, pain at infusion site, nausea and vomiting and fatigue were seen partly in a dose-related manner but did not represent the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The limiting toxicity at the highest dose level of 16,690 mg/m² consisted of ocular symptoms (light flashes) accompanied by a modest decrease of blood pressure and nausea or vomiting during a one hour infusion. 16,690 mg/m²/1 hour was considered the MTD. There were four deaths on study, all considered diseaserelated. Fourteen patients had stable disease for more than two courses, which, however, could also be explained by the natural course of disease. No clear-cut antitumor responses were noted in our study center.The recommended dose for phase II trials derived from our results is 12,550 mg/m²/2 hours. However, with regard to experiences in other phase I studies, the subsequent phase II studies will be performed with a dose of 6,500 mg/m².
