心率变异性在反映心脏自主神经损伤和重构中的应用

缺血预适应和急性心肌梗死恢复期都会出现心脏自主神经的变化,心率变异性（HRV）是无创测量心自主神经活动的重要方法.研究自主神经的变化能为疾病机理和临床用药研究提供理论基础,所以监测预适应和心梗后的HRV有着重要意义.本文综述了预适应和心梗恢复期在HRV上的体现,并将HRV的变化与生理生化证据相联系,分析了缺血预适应对自主神经的保护作用和心梗后用HRV检测自主神经恢复的可行性.同时还对心率变异性今后的研究方向做了展望.

冲击伤肺肋面的平行出血条纹

本文采用部分肋骨切除术,切除15只家兔双侧5、6、7、8肋中任一肋距脊柱约2cm处一段长约1cm的肋骨。一周后对受冲击波致伤的肺肋面的出血情况进行解剖观察,发现肺肋面的出血条纹呈“工”字形,从而为冲击伤肺肋面的平行出血条纹是肋间压痕这一观点找到了直接的实验证据。     

Separation of human basophils into two fractions with different density and histamine content

We designed experiments in this study to test the hypothesis suggested by recent purification data that blood basophils comprise two populations of different density, which circulate in numbers characteristic for each human subject. Basophils were separated into two density bands by single step centrifugation on a discontinuous Percoll gradient. Band 1 cells were at the interface between plasma and Percoll of density 1.070 gm/ml. Band 2 cells were at the Percoll 1.070 to 1.080 interface. When the number of band 1 basophils was expressed as a percentage of the total in bands 1 and 2, this relative amount generally remained in a narrow range for blood obtained from the same donor on 3 successive days but differed markedly in different individuals. In a series of leukapheresis experiments, we demonstrated that the percentage of band 1 basophils in postleukapheresis venous blood was strikingly similar to the preleukapheresis value. If basophils that repopulated the leukapheresis-depleted circulation came from the bone marrow, we can conclude that blood levels of basophils in bands 1 and 2 are under physiologic control and that the two types of basophils are released in amounts characteristic for each human subject. Additional evidence for two distinct blood basophil populations was provided by histamine measurements. The histamine content per basophil was consistently higher in cells from band 1 than from band 2, the mean difference between pairs of values for 30 subjects being 0.3 +/- 0.04 pg or about 27% of the band 1 basophil histamine content of 1.1 pg.

超短波治疗慢性肺源性心脏病患者的初步探讨

目的:探讨超短波对慢性肺心病CCP患者的临床应用价值。方法:急性发作期CCP患者87例分为超短波治疗组45例和对照组42例,治疗组在常规治疗的基础上给予超短波治疗,对照组行常规治疗。治疗前后分别测定两组患者血浆中血管内皮生长因子VEGF、内皮素(ET-1)含量,动脉血氧分压(PaO2)和平均肺动脉压(mPAP)水平。结果:与对照组比较治疗组治疗后PaO2显著升高(P<0.01),VEGF、ET-1、mPAP明显降低(P<0.01)。VEGF、ET-1与PaO2呈负相关(P<0.01)、与mPAP呈正相关(P<0.01)。结论:超短波可以通过降低肺动脉高压对CCP患者起治疗作用。     

Inhaled lodoxamide tromethamine in the treatment of perennial asthma: a double-blind placebo-controlled study

The efficacy of lodoxamide tromethamine in the treatment of asthma was studied in a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 68 perennial allergic subjects with asthma. Patients received either lodoxamide tromethamine, 0.25 mg four times daily, or placebo, administered by metered-dose inhaler. Response to treatment was assessed by analyzing changes in asthma symptoms, inhaled bronchodilator requirements, and pulmonary function when compared to a 2-week baseline period. Patients treated with lodoxamide tromethamine demonstrated an improvement in daytime breathing difficulty, cough, sputum production, and sleep (p less than 0.01 to 0.05), but improvement was not significantly different from that demonstrated by placebo-treated patients. Patients from both treatment groups were able to reduce their inhaled bronchodilators (p less than 0.01), but again no significant difference was apparent between lodoxamide tromethamine and placebo treatment, nor were there any differences in peak expiratory flow rate or FEV1 between the two groups. Seven patients who received lodoxamide tromethamine withdrew because of a sensation of heat and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thus, although lodoxamide tromethamine possesses potent mast cell-stabilizing activity in vitro, we have failed to demonstrate any useful long-term effect in the treatment of mild allergic asthma.     

Circulating immune complexes during immunotherapy.

Chronic immunization may lead to the production of circulating immune complexes (CICs). This study was undertaken to determine the presence of circulating IgG immune complexes in 95 subjects with allergic rhinitis/asthma receiving immunotherapy, 46 individuals with similar diagnosis but not on immunotherapy, and 64 healthy controls. Modified Raji cell and murine leukemia cell (L-1210) assays, selected for a high density of Fc receptors and devoid of Epstein-Barr virus membrane antigen, were used. Other immunological parameters such as immunologlobulins G, A, M, E, and rheumatoid factor activity were also studied. The CIC concentrations in the treated group did not differ significantly from the untreated group, although both groups did have a significantly higher concentration than the healthy controls. The presence of CICs has no relationship with age or sex of patients, dosage of allergen administered, number and nature of allergens received, period between the time of last injection and the blood sampling, and the duration of immunotherapy. Serum IgG, IgA, IgM, and rheumatoid factor activity did not differ between the treated and untreated groups. IgE was significantly higher in the treated group when compared with the untreated, and IgE levels in treated patients with elevated CICs were significantly increased compared with CIC-negative treated patients. These data suggest that CICs are present in serum of atopic diseases such as allergic rhinitis/asthma. Significantly, an association of elevation of CICs with immunotherapy could not be demonstrated.

A Comparative Analysis of the Murine Thymic Microenvironment in Normal,Autoimmune, and Immunodeficiency States

It is widely accepted that the thymic microenvironment regulates normal thymopoiesis through a highly coordinated and complex series of cellular and cytokine interactions. A direct corollary of this is that abnormalities within the microenvironment could be of etiologic significance in T-cell-based diseases. Our laboratory has developed a large panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that react specifically with epithelial or nonepithelial markers in the thymus. We have taken advantage of these reagents to characterize the thymic microenvironment of several genetic strains of mice, including BALB/cJ, C57BL/6J, NZB/BlnJ, SM/J, NOD/Ltz, NOD/Ltz-scid/sz, C57BL/6J-Hcph m^e/Hcph m^e, and ALY/NscJcl-aly/aly mice, and littermate control animals. We report herein that control mice, including strains of several backgrounds, have a very consistent phenotypic profile with this panel of monoclonal antibodies, including reactivity with thymic epithelial cells in the cortex, the medulla and the corticomedullary junction, and the extracellular matrix. In contrast, the disease-prone strains studied have unique, abnormal staining of thymic cortex and medulla at both the structural and cellular levels. These phenotypic data suggest that abnormalities in interactions between developing thymocytes and stromal cells characterize disease-prone mice.
