Polymyxin B antagonizing biological activity of lipopolysaccharide

Objective ： To investigate the mechanism of polymyxin B （ PMB ） antagonizing the biological activity of Hipopolysaccharide （LPS）. Methods： The affinity of PMB for LPS and lipid A was assayed by biosensor, and the neutralization of PMB for LPS （2 ng/ml ） was detected by kinetic turbidimetric limnins test. The releases of TNF-α and IL-6 in murine peritoneal macrophages （PMφ） after exposure to LPS （ 100 ng/ml） were detected, and the expression levels of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA in PMφ induced by LPS （100 ng/ml） were measured by RT-PCR. Results： PMB had high-affinity to LPS and lipid A with dissociation equilibrium constants of 18.9 nmol/L and 11.1 nmol/L, respectively, and neutralized LPS in a dosedependent manner. Furthermore, PMB could markedly inhibit the expressions of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA and the release of cycokines in LPS-stimniated murine PMφ. Conclusions： PMB neutralizes LPS and inhibites the expression and release of cycokines in macrophages, in which the affinity of PMB for lipid A plays an important role.

大鼠视神经损伤定量模型的建立

目的建立标准化视神经损伤大鼠动物模型，对致伤强度、损伤程度及两者之间的关系进行量化分析。方法在立体定位下，利用微电极毁损视神经颅内段，毁损电压为5V，频率为60kHz，通过改变电毁损的电流强度，造成不同程度视神经损伤。然后进行视网膜切片，计数视神经节细胞层细胞，定量视神经损伤。结果析因方差分析结果显示：视神经节细胞计数存不同刺激时间之间，差异硅著（F=3472，14，P〈0．001）；在不同电流强度组间，差异显著（F=335．83，P〈0．001）；经LSD法多重比较，视神经节细胞计数在刺激电流之间及刺激时间之间差异在α=0．05水平均有显著性意义。刺激强度和刺激时间的单独效应：同一电流组随着刺激时间增加．视神经节细胞计数呈下降趋势；除对照组和90s组外（F=0．79，P=0．548；F=1．54，P=0．242），刺激时间相同时，随电流强度增加．细胞计数也呈下降趋势，刺激电流强度与刺激时间之间交互效廊显著（F=27．30，P〈0．001）：结论立体定向电毁损大鼠颅内段视神经模型可以测定致伤强度和视神经损伤程度，是较理想的视神经损伤模型。

Stenting of coronary bifurcation lesions by using modified crush technique with double kissing balloon inflation (sleeve technique): immediate procedure result and short-term clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Sleeve technique is a modified version of crush technique. It is specifically designed to increase the success rate of final kissing balloon inflation, which used to be a major limitation of the latter. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility, safety, and early clinical outcomes of sleeve technique in stenting different types (de novo, in-stent restenotic or in-stent bifurcation) of coronary bifurcation lesions at different locations. METHODS: From August 2005 to May 2006, 41 consecutive patients with symptomatic, nonleft-main coronary bifurcation stenoses of diameter narrowing >or=50% were treated with two-stent strategy, using sleeve technique. RESULTS: The mean age was 63.6 +/- 11.6 years with male predominance (70.7%). High prevalence of diabetes mellitus (31.7%), total occlusion (22.0%), and multi-vessel disease (65.9%) was observed in this cohort. Intravenous abciximab was given in 35 (85.4%) patients. Final kissing balloon inflation was successfully performed in all patients. The minimal luminal diameter in main vessel and side branch was increased from 0.97 +/- 0.53 mm and 0.81 +/- 0.45 mm to 2.76 +/- 0.34 mm and 2.22 +/- 0.35 mm, respectively. The mean procedure time was only 66.6 +/- 24.6 min. There was one (2.4%) case of subacute stent thrombosis presented as non-Q-wave myocardial infarction at day 3 postprocedure. The resultant in-hospital and 30-day major adverse cardiac event rate were both 2.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Sleeve technique is a feasible and efficient approach in stenting of coronary bifurcation stenoses.     

Parallel angioplasty dilatation catheter and guide wire: A new technique for the dilatation of calcified coronary arteries

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of heavily calcified rigid coronary arteries has decreased success and increased complication rates. Three cases are presented describing a new technique for the dilatation of severely calcified coronary arteries that were not dilatable by conventional angioplasty methods. This technique involves the use of a balloon dilatation catheter system parallel to a guide wire. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Dynamic aspects of expanding cava septi pellucidi et Vergae

Summary Two paediatric patients with expanding cysts of the cava Vergae et septi pellucidi are presented. In the first patient, consecutive CT scans showed agrowing cavum thought to be responsible for his dramatic increase in head circumference. In the other patient, the expanding cavum was discovered because a routine skull X-ray after minor head trauma revealed marked impressiones digitatae.Both patients were successfully treated with stereotactically placed internal shunts from the cysts via the lateral ventricle to the subarachnoid space. During this procedure, contrast medium was instilled, and the cysts were visualized on postoperative CT scans.Some dynamic aspects of such expanding cava are discussed.     

Effects of famotidine and cimetidine on plasma levels of epidurally administered lignocaine

The effects of two H2-receptor antagonists, famotidine and cimetidine, on the plasma levels of epidurally administered lignocaine were studied. Group A (n = 20) received famotidine 20 mg orally the night before surgery and 20 mg intramuscularly 60 minutes before induction of anaesthesia. Group B (n = 15) received cimetidine 200 mg orally the night before the surgery and 400 mg orally 60 minutes before the anaesthetic induction. Group C (n = 20) received neither famotidine nor cimetidine and served as controls. Twelve millilitres of 2.0% lignocaine with adrenaline 1:200,000 was injected into the epidural space in all patients, after the establishment of general anaesthesia with nitrous oxide, oxygen, and enflurane (0.3-0.5%). The patients who received cimetidine showed significantly higher plasma concentrations of lignocaine compared with either group A or group C at all investigation times (p less than 0.01). The mean peak plasma concentrations were 2.4 (SEM 0.1), 3.2 (SEM 0.2) and 2.3 (SEM 0.1) micrograms/ml in group A, B, and C, respectively. This study suggests that famotidine is preferable to cimetidine for control of gastric acidity before the use of lignocaine as the epidural anaesthetic.
