动脉波形分析计算心排出量及临床应用

动脉波形分析技术用于测量心排出量(arterial pressure-based cardiac output,APCO)和每搏输出量变异指数(stroke volume variation,SVV)是一项新的微创血流动力学技术,它能够连续通过对外周动脉的波形特征结合患者的基本信息(年龄、性别、身高、体重等)进行分析测定心排出量(CO),并且不需要通过其他方法来校准.临床上已经显示出可以接受的准确性和良好的即时性和方便性,但也存在一定的局限性,如在一些心脏疾病如主动脉返流、二尖瓣返流或给予α1受体激动药,APCO并不能准确反映心排血量.

ONE-STAGE ARTERIOVENOUS REVERSAL FOR REVASCULARIZATION OF SEVERELY ISCHEMIC LIMBS

Staged arteriovenous reversal has been successfully established forrevascularization of severely ischemic limbs since 1984. The authors tried to constrict thecentral venous limb immediately after the arteriovenous fistula formation to make the pres-sure distal to the anastomosis raising to its maximum to shorten the time required for thedistal valves to become incompetent. Thus, the revascularization of the severely ischemiclimbs may be established much sooner than the staged arteriovenous reversal, and more di-seased limbs will be saved. Forty-two patients with a total of 60 upper and lower limbshave been operated on with good results.     

Extensive allelic sequence variation in the J region of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus

During the initial stages of B lymphocyte differentiation heavy chain variable (VH), diversity (DH) and joining (JH) gene segments recombine to form a functional heavy chain variable region (VDJ) gene. Evidence for genetic polymorphism of the human JH gene segments has been obtained from mature rearranged VDJ sequences. We conducted an analysis of the published rearranged JH gene sequences and found that the JH alleles present in the two published germ-line JH region sequences were rare (approx. 2%) in the rearranged sequences. As an attempt to explain this discrepancy a 2.5-kb strech of DNA containing all the six heavy chain JH region genes and the most 3' DH gene segment, DHQ52, was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction from 39 individuals and analyzed for restriction fragment length polymorphism. Five new JH region haplotypes were found and sequenced. These new haplotypes contained the coding segment alleles that were frequent in antibody genes. Surprisingly, a high number of interallelic differencies in the non-coding sequence was found between the new and the two previously published haplotypes implying that the haplotypes had been separated early in evolution. In this respect the JH locus resembles HLA loci.

Fragmentation process of current laser lithotriptors

Background and Objective: Flashlamp pumped dye (FPDL), Q-switched Nd:YAG, and alexandrite lasers are the most clinically used laser lithotriptors. Although calculi are fragmented by laser induced mechanical stresses for all lithotriptors, different fragment sizes and fragmentation efficiencies have been reported. In this work the effect of the pulse duration and pulse shape on the fragmentation processes is studied. Material and Methods: Fragmentation processes are characterized on model stones and on sensing target fibers. Stone fragmentation and cavitation bubble generation are observed by video flash photography. Shock wave occurrence and strength are monitored with an hydrophone. Results: For the FPDL, stone fragmentation is induced by the collapse of the large cavitation bubble formed. For the Q-switched Nd:YAG, fragmentation is already observed during the laser pulse, at the plasma onset, although further fragmentation can occur at the bubble collapse. For pulse durations corresponding to the alexandrite, an intermediate fragmentation regime is observed. Conclusion: For the first time the physical basis of the observed differences in the fragmentation efficiencies of current laser lithotriptors is described. For nanosecond durations the fragmentation processes are governed by plasma induced shock waves. On the contrary, for microsecond durations fragmentation is governed by cavitation. The high fragmentation efficiency of microsecond lasers is due to a high laser energy transfer into cavitation. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

The relation between conduction velocity and axonal length

Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) obtained by electrical root stimulation and F waves were used to examine the proximal nerve conduction velocity (CV) to tibialis anterior (TA), extensor digitorum brevis (EDB), flexor carpi radialis (FCR), and abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscles in 40 humans. By subtracting motor latencies obtained by stimulating the peripheral nerve at the same point from the F-wave and MEP latencies, we could measure the CV over identical proximal segments. It was found that proximal CV to TA and FCR was significantly higher than to EDB and APB, respectively. Combining the data of the proximal CV to all four muscles in relation with axonal length resulted in a highly significant inverse relationship (r² = 0.77). Thus the axonal length explained to a large extent the higher CV of the arm nerves and also the inverse relation between body height and CV. The distal CV was always lower than proximal CV; however, there was no support for an additional effect of this gradient in explaining the relationship between CV and height since it was constant for all body heights. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Ischemic stroke in infancy,childhood, and adolescence

The authors studied 34 patients with juvenile ischemic cerebrovascular disease over a 15-year period. Of the 34 patients, 23 had intracranial occlusions attributed to cerebral thrombosis or embolism and 11 had occlusions resulting from moyamoya disease. Clinicopathological features were evaluated in the 23 cases with ischemic stroke, but not those with moyamoya disease. The cause of the arterial occlusion remained undetermined in 11 patients and was found to be an embolism based on congenital heart disease in 8, on trauma in 3, and on infection in 1. Cerebral angiography was performed in 21 patients. Of these, 17 had stenoses or occlusions corresponding to their symptoms. CT scans were performed in 10 patients; the lesion in question showed no stenosis or occlusion with cerebral angiography. With regard to prognosis, patients with unknown etiology had good outcomes compared with those with congenital heart disease. With respect to acute infantile hemiplegia, 10 patients had convulsive seizures and 4 had a history of an earlier infection. Angiography and CT scans in patients with congenital heart disease demonstrated arterial occlusive sites in the middle cerebral artery region. Three patients had abscesses after their ischemic lesions.
