癫痫患者执行功能损害特点及影响因素研究

目的分析癫痫患者执行功能损害的特点及相关影响因素。方法1999年1月～2006年4月在我院癫痫专病门诊就诊或长期随访的109例成年癫痫患者和75例正常对照者进行神经认知心理测验，包括语义流畅性试验、数字广度测验、数字符号测验、色词干扰测验和连线试验检查。结果癫痫患者组语义流畅性显著差于正常对照组，数字广度、数字符号亦显著低于正常对照组．癫痫组连线时间、Stroop试验反应时显著延长，Stroop试验错误数显著增加（P〈0．01）。颞叶癫痫患者数字广度低于额叶癫痫患者。多元线性回归显示：文化程度高、非颞叶癫痫对语义流畅性有保护作用：文化程度高、单一抗癫痫药物治疗、病程短、年龄大对数字广度有保护作用；病程短、文化程度高和颅内无病灶对数字符号有保护作用。结论癫痫患者在多项执行功能方面均存在损害．文化程度高的患者执行功能相对较好；颞叶癫痫患者语义流畅性差；病程、药物、年龄对数字广度有影响：病程、有无病灶对数字符号有影响。     

A nationwide survey of excessive daytime sleepiness in Parkinson's disease in France

To determine the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and that of dozing and sudden onset of sleep episodes (SOS) while driving in ambulatory patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in France, a national sample of private and public neurologists was asked to recruit the first 10 consecutive nondemented PD patients. Each patient completed a questionnaire including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the likelihood of dozing off and experiencing SOS episodes behind the wheel. Clinical and demographic data were collected. One thousand six hundred and twenty‐five patients with PD were included in the survey. Twenty‐nine percent of the patients suffered from EDS (ESS score ≥10) but only 0.8% declared a high chance of dozing while driving and 0.5% reported totally unpredictable SOS episodes while driving. Risk factors for EDS were male gender, reduced activity of daily living, and a high daily levodopa equivalent dosage. Risk factors for SOS episodes while driving were an ESS score ≥10, male gender, and low Hoehn and Yahr staging. EDS is common in ambulatory patients with PD and is a major risk factor for dozing and for SOS episodes behind the wheel in patients who drive. © 2007 Movement Disorder Society     

头发、血浆、红细胞中铅对评价职业性接触水平的作用

[目的]探讨发铅、血浆和红细胞中铅对评价职业性铅接触水平的作用。[方法]用原子吸收分光光度计测定接触铅组与不接触铅对照组工人的血浆、红细胞及发中铅、铁、铜、镁、钙含量，测量数据用SAS软件处理。[结果]用0．25mol／L的HCl处理发样，能有效去除发表面的铅污染。接触组与对照组血浆铅无显著差异，而红细胞铅、发铅差异显著，血中其他元素含量无显著差异。[结论]去除表面污染的发铅和红细胞铅可作为铅接触指标。血浆铅则无意义。

Prevalence of occupational allergy due to live fish bait

BACKGROUND: Larvae of insects and worms, used as live fish bait (LFB), are a common source of allergy in anglers and occupationally exposed workers, but the prevalence and predictors have not yet been investigated. OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of occupational allergy in workers exposed to LFB. METHODS: We assessed the prevalence of sensitization to LFB and work-related symptoms (WRS) in 76 workers occupationally exposed to it. All workers completed a case history questionnaire and underwent skin prick tests (SPT) for common aeroallergens and bluebottle (Calliphora vomitoria), bee moth (Galleria mellonella), mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), and gusano rojo (Cilecomadia moorei). Specific IgE were tested in 64 subjects. Two-thirds of the workers had a high level of LFB exposure. RESULTS: Sensitization to LFB was found in 24 workers (31.6%). Seven subjects (9.2%) reported WRS (asthma in 3, rhinoconjunctivitis in 5, and contact urticaria in 1), and 5 were positive for SPT and serum IgE to one or more LFB extracts. One was also exposed to LFB while fishing. Sensitization to LFB extracts and WRS were strongly associated (Odds Ratio = 6.6, P < 0.05). The 7 subjects with WRS had been exposed longer than asymptomatic subjects with positive skin tests to LFB (P < 0.05). No differences in sex, age, smoking habit, duration or level of exposure, and atopy were detected in symptomatic or in sensitized subjects, compared with normal workers. CONCLUSION: Sensitization to LFB and WRS are relatively frequent in occupationally exposed workers. No associated factors of occupational allergy to LFB could be detected.     

骨髓细胞移植上调血管内皮生长因子及其受体的表达并改善缺血心脏功能

目的：通过骨髓细胞移植对心肌梗死大鼠模型血管内皮生长因子及其受体表达的影响，探讨骨髓细胞移植改善缺血心脏功能的可能机制。方法：利用左前降支冠状动脉结扎术制备大鼠心肌梗死模型，然后行异体骨髓细胞移植；分别于术后1d，3d，7d，14d和28d取材；利用免疫荧光和RT—PCR技术分析细胞移植对血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)及其受体(Flk一1)表达的影响和移植细胞的分化情况；通过免疫组化计算血管数量；应用血流动力学检测大鼠心脏功能在术后各时间点的变化。结果：VEGF和Flk-1在移植组动物的心肌梗死区残存细胞、梗死周边区细胞以及部分移植细胞内表达。移植组VEGF和Flk-1的mRNA表达明显高于对照组。分别于术后3d和14d达到高峰，以后逐渐减弱。术后7d，14d和28d移植组血管数量较同期对照组明显增加，移植组心脏功能较对照组明显改善。术后14d可在部分移植细胞中检测到心肌细胞或血管内皮细胞特异性蛋白的表达。结论：骨髓细胞移植通过上调移植细胞及受者内源性VEGF和Flk—1的表达，促进血管新生，进而改善缺血心脏功能。     

Malignant lymphoma. Pathology, diagnosis, therapy

Summary Malignant lymphomas can be subdivided into Hodgkin's disease and low- or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The principal therapeutic options are polychemotherapy and radiotherapy. Besides the histological classification, staging of the disease with particular regard to risk factors is an essential prerequisite for the therapeutic decision. Diagnostic imaging modalities such as computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography have improved the accuracy of clinical staging such that invasive pathological staging is only necessary in exceptional cases. A novel therapeutic approach is high-dose chemotherapy with autologous haematopoietic stem-cell support. This treatment improves the survival of patients with relapsed high-grade NHL. The place of high-dose therapy as the primary therapeutic option in malignant lymphoma is now being assessed in prospective studies following encouraging results from single-centre studies, including those involving the treatment of low-grade lymphoma. The effects of antibodies directed against lymphatic cells are currently being examined in experimental treatments. An assessment of the viability and rate of proliferation of lymphoma tissue on completion of therapy using sensitive radiological and nuclear medical methods is an important aim for the future.

Risk of death from acute pancreatitis

Summary Conclusions The analysis of all the data available in 192 patients at 24 h from admission shows that only serum glucose above 250 mg/dL (13.88 mmol/L) and serum creatinine above 2 mg/dL (176.8 μmol/L) are prognostic factors of death (P<0.0001). When, however, pathological chest X-rays are also considered in a subset of 149 patients, these and serum creatinine are prognostic factors of death with odds ratios of 2.9 (95% CL 1.3–6.3) and 9.4 (95% CL 2.2–40.7), respectively (P<0.0001). Background In patients suffering from acute pancreatitis, neither Ranson scores nor Glasgow criteria evaluation at 24 h yield a sufficiently reliable prognosis of the risk of death from the first acute attack. Methods After excluding posttraumatic, postsurgical, and post-ERCP acute pancreatitis, we selected 192 consecutive patients admitted in the first instance to our center for a first attack, distinguishing between patients who died and patients who survived. We used Cox's model to analyze the prognostic weight of variables available within 24 h of admission (sex, age, alcohol intake, smoking habits, 17 biochemical tests, body mass index, chest X-rays, body temperature, and shock status). Results Seventeen (8.8%) patients died; mortality showed a decreasing trend over the period of years considered and was correlated, among other things, with necrotizing type of pancreatitis, idiopathic etiology, and shock status on admission.
