氯胺酮对荷包牡丹碱诱导PC12细胞内Ca2+浓度波动方式的影响

目的研究氯胺酮对荷包牡丹碱诱导PCI2细胞内Ca^2＋浓度波动方式的影响。方法使用含25ng／LNGF的DMED培养基在多聚赖氨酸包被的培养皿中培养PCl2细胞；与终浓度10gmol／L的Ca^2＋指示剂Fluo-3 AM ester共孵育30min洗涤后，加入终浓度50gmol／L荷包牡丹碱；在激光共聚焦显微镜选定多个细胞分别测定荧光强度的变化；随后加入氯胺酮，记录细胞荧光强度的改变。在试验结束前依次加入Triton X-100和EGTA分别记录单个细胞最大荧光强度（Fmax）和最小荧光强度（Fmin），以计算细胞内Ca^2＋的相对强度。结果氯胺酮不改变荷包牡丹碱诱导PCl2细胞内Ca^2＋浓度波动的基线，但抑制细胞内Ca^2＋浓度升高的幅度（P〈0．05），缩短相邻波峰间的时间间隙（P〈0．05）。结论氯胺酮不仅改变荷包牡丹碱诱导PCl2细胞内Ca^2＋浓度升高的幅度，而且改变Ca^2＋浓度波动的周期。

Clinical Impact of Community-Acquired Respiratory Viruses on Bronchiolitis Obliterans After Lung Transplant

Community-acquired viral respiratory tract infections (RTI) in lung transplant recipients may have a high rate of progression to pneumonia and can be a trigger for immunologically mediated detrimental effects on lung function. A cohort of 100 patients was enrolled from 2001 to 2003 in which 50 patients had clinically diagnosed viral RTI and 50 were asymptomatic. All patients had nasopharyngeal and throat swabs taken for respiratory virus antigen detection, culture and RT-PCR. All patients had pulmonary function tests at regular intervals for 12 months. Rates of rejection, decline in forced expiratory volume (L) in 1 s (FEV-1) and bacterial and fungal superinfection were compared at the 3-month primary endpoint. In the 50 patients with RTI, a microbial etiology was identified in 33 of 50 (66%) and included rhinovirus (9), coronavirus (8), RSV (6), influenza A (5), parainfluenza (4) and human metapneumovirus (1). During the 3-month primary endpoint, 8 of 50 (16%) RTI patients had acute rejection versus 0 of 50 non-RTI patients (p=0.006). The number of patients experiencing a 20% or more decline in FEV-1 by 3 months was 9 of 50 (18%) RTI versus 0 of 50 non-RTI (0%) (p=0.003). In six of these nine patients, the decline in FEV-1 was sustained over a 1-year period consistent with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Community-acquired respiratory viruses may be associated with the development of acute rejection and BOS.     

False positive accumulation in 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan due to sarcoid reaction following induction chemotherapy for lung cancer

We present a case of lung cancer that showed false positive accumulation in an ¹⁸F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan following induction chemotherapy for suspected metastasis and progression of malignancy. A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in the lung, classified as clinical stage IIIA (T2N2M0), and underwent induction chemotherapy. An FDG-PET scan prior to chemotherapy demonstrated accumulation only in the tumor, whereas following treatment it revealed a strong accumulation not only in the tumor, but also in the supraclavicular lymph nodes, which indicated lymph node metastasis. The patient underwent a biopsy of the right supraclavicular lymph node and mediastinoscopy, after which all dissected lymph nodes showed sarcoid reactions and no tumor cells were found pathologically. We concluded that when evaluating the effect of induction chemotherapy for malignancy, a sarcoid reaction might lead to the false positive accumulation of FDG.     

Acute Renal Failure after Lung Transplantation: Incidence, Predictors and Impact on Perioperative Morbidity and Mortality

The incidence, predictors and clinical significance of acute renal failure (ARF) after lung transplantation are not well described. We retrospectively collected data on 296 patients transplanted at our center between April 1992 and December 2000; follow-up was extended until December 2002. Patients were initially divided into two groups: ARF (doubling of baseline creatinine within 2 weeks after surgery) and NoARF. The ARF group was subdivided into ARFD (dialyzed) and ARFnD (not dialyzed). The incidence of ARF was 56% (166/296), but most cases were ARFnD (n = 143). Independent predictors of ARFD (n = 23) were: baseline GFR (OR 0.98, CI 0.96-0.99, p = 0.012), pulmonary diagnosis other than COPD (OR 6.80, CI 1.5-30.89, p = 0.013), mechanical ventilation > 1 d (OR 6.16, CI 1.70-22.24, p = 0.006) and parenteral amphotericin B use (OR 3.04, CI 1.03-8.98, p = 0.045). Both ARFnD and ARFD were associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation, increased hospital stay and increased early mortality. One-year patient survival was 92.3%, 81.8% and 21.7% in the NoARF, ARFnD and ARFD groups, respectively (p < 0.0001). After controlling for important covariates, ARFD remained associated with an increased hazard of dying (HR 6.77, CI 4.00-11.44, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, ARF occurs commonly after lung transplantation and affects important clinical outcomes, especially when dialysis is required.     

Factors affecting coronal fracture of anterior teeth in North Jordanian children

Abstract –  The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of coronal fracture of the anterior teeth in North Jordanian schoolchildren and to study the main predisposing factors and the factors that may affect the severity of this fracture. A study group (958) comprising schoolchildren aged 13–15 years was chosen by a simple random method from five geographical areas in Irbid Governate, Jordan. All children completed a questionnaire related to history of trauma to their anterior teeth before they had a clinical examination for lip competence, lip line and amount of fracture. Overjet was recorded from a study cast made for each student. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test. The results showed a prevalence of 11% of coronal fracture with female-male ratio of 1:1. An increase in the overjet more than 3 mm doubled the incidence of coronal fracture while overjet more than 6 mm increased the incidence fourfold. There was higher incidence of coronal fracture associated with lip incompetence and low lip line ( P  < 0.01). The severity of fracture increased in children with a larger overjet ( P  < 0.001). It was concluded that overjet, lip competence and lip line were important predisposing factors to coronal fracture of the anterior teeth while the severity of the fracture was mainly determined by overjet.     

早期尘肺病的肺功能评定和劳动能力鉴定探讨

目的：为探讨早期尘肺病患者肺功能评定及其劳动能力鉴定中的应用。方法：本文做了Ⅰ期77例尘肺病人通过临床表现即呼吸困难的判定、高仟伏X线胸片检查、肺功能测定等检查进行了肺功能损伤分级及劳动能力鉴定。结果：矽肺组的肺功能较铸工尘肺明显下降。吸烟组肺功能测定结果低于不吸烟者，尤其是矽肺组，两组有显著性差异（P〈0．05）。77例尘肺病例中，44例尘肺病人为轻度损伤，其中矽肺33例，铸工尘肺11例，可定为伤残六级，33例尘肺肺功能测定正常，全部为铸工尘肺，伤残等级为七级。结论：我们测定的四项指标中有2项或2项以上指标有改变，并结合临床结果一致时，可诊断为该级别肺功能损伤较为合理。
