骨桥蛋白在人脑动静脉畸形的表达及意义

目的研究骨桥蛋白(OPN)在脑动静脉畸形(CAVM)的血管组织及其在放射、栓塞治疗后血管病理变化中的表达。方法采用免疫组化方法检测42例CAVM病理标本及对照组10例内减压手术所获脑组织血管中OPN的表达。结果26例无术前治疗史的畸形血管组织中22例有OPN的表达,主要见于CAVM的静脉部分,在粥样硬化样病变的动脉处也有表达。对照组脑组织的血管中未见OPN的表达;有伽玛刀治疗史的5例中,2例在早、中期放射反应的动脉中可见OPN的明显表达;在经历栓塞治疗的11例中,7例在新生内膜组织或异物巨细胞中有强阳性表达。结论人CAVM血管组织中多有OPN的表达,这可能是其适应于适应血流动力学状态而具有的血管重塑的表现,并可能在放射及栓塞治疗后的血管重塑中发挥重要作用。     

Characterization of an immunologic polymorphism (D79H) in the heavy chain of factor V.

BACKGROUND: During the study of a family with hereditary factor (F)V deficiency (FV Amersfoort, 1102 A > T in exon 7) we identified an individual with 5% FV heavy chain antigen (FV(HC)) and 50% FV light chain antigen (FV(LC)). Further testing revealed that apart from the FV Amersfoort allele a second variant FV allele was segregating in this family, which encodes for a FV molecule with a reduced affinity for mAb V-23 used in the FV heavy chain ELISA (ELISA(HC)). OBJECTIVE: Identification and characterization of the molecular basis responsible for the reduced affinity of the variant FV for mAb V-23. METHODS: Family members of the proband were screened for mutations in the exons coding for the heavy chain of FV, after which the recombinant variant FV could be generated and characterized. Next, the cases and controls of the Leiden Thrombophilia Study (LETS) were genotyped for carriership of the variant FV. RESULTS: In the variant FV allele a polymorphism in exon 3 (409G > C) was identified, which predicts the replacement of aspartic acid 79 by histidin (D79H). Introduction of this mutation in recombinant FV confirmed that it reduces the affinity for binding to mAb V-23. The substitution has no effect on FV(a) stability and Xa-cofactor activity. In Caucasians the frequency of the FV-79H allele is approximately 5%. Analysis of the LETS revealed that the FV-79H allele is not associated with FV levels (FV(LC)), activated protein C sensitivity (using an activated partial thromboplastin time-based test) or risk of venous thrombosis (OR 1.07, CI 95: 0.7-1.7). CONCLUSION: The D79H substitution in FV should be considered as a neutral polymorphism. The monoclonal antibody V-23, which has a strongly reduced affinity for FV-79H, is not suitable for application in diagnostic tests.

三维CT脑血管造影在脑动脉瘤诊断中注意点

目的探讨三维CT脑血管造影(3D-CTA)在诊断脑动脉瘤时的注意事项。方法回顾总结3D-CTA检查的106例蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)病例,其中14例初次3D-CTA显示动脉瘤不清或发现颅内非动脉瘤样血管异常者,对其进行DSA脑血管造影检查。结果初次3D-CTA检查正确诊断脑动脉瘤92例,其中16例为多发脑动脉瘤,共检出115个。余14例因诊断不明确进而实施DSA脑血管造影检查,其中确诊动脉瘤合并烟雾病2例、严重脑血管痉挛致动脉瘤显示不清2例、脑动静脉畸形1例(此5例与3D-CTA所见一致);在3D-CTA扫查范围外发现脑动脉瘤2例。对上述阳性诊断的99例进行手术,并得到证实。另7例在3D-CTA和DSA检查未发现引起SAH的原因病灶,给予保守治疗。结论在脑动脉瘤诊断中,3D-CTA具有较好的精确性。在判断动脉瘤与颅骨位置关系、操作的便捷性和经济性等方面明显优于DSA。在应用3D-CTA对脑动脉瘤进行诊断时,有必要根据患者和设备的具体情况进行个性化设计,方能减少漏诊、误诊。     

Von Willebrand factor, platelets and endothelial cell interactions

Summary.  The adhesive protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) contributes to platelet function by mediating the initiation and progression of thrombus formation at sites of vascular injury. In recent years there has been considerable progress in explaining the biological properties of VWF, including the structural and functional characteristics of specific domains. The mechanism of interaction between the VWF A1 domain and glycoprotein Ibα has been elucidated in detail, bringing us closer to understanding how this adhesive bond can oppose the fluid dynamic effects of rapidly flowing blood contributing to platelet adhesion and activation. Moreover, novel findings have been obtained on the link between regulation of VWF multimer size and microvascular thrombosis. This progress in basic research has provided critical information to define with greater precision the role of VWF in vascular biology and pathology, including its possible involvement in the onset of atherosclerosis and its acute thrombotic complications.

目的了解脑梗死患者OCSP临床分型的构成及不同亚型与预后及复发的关系。方法采用回顾性队列研究,登记2002年1月~2005年6月第四军医大学西京医院神经内科确诊的617例脑梗死患者,按照OCSP标准分型并进行随访,分析各亚型与预后及复发的关系。结果OCSP各亚型构成比分变为:TACI占7.3%,PACI23.3%,POCI6.0%,LACI63.4%,分型与预后明显相关,TACI的预后最差,POCI和LACI预后相对较好,PACI次之,卒中复发与分型无明显相关。结论OCSP分型作为一种脑梗死临床分型方法,可以为脑梗死的预后判断提供参考依据。     

Decreased Risk of Renal Allograft Thrombosis Associated With Interleukin-2 Receptor Antagonists: A Report of the NAPRTCS

Graft thrombosis is the most common cause of first year graft failure in pediatric renal transplantation. The North American Pediatric Renal Transplant Cooperative Study (NAPRTCS) database was analyzed for cases of graft failure due to thrombosis among patients transplanted from 1998 to 2004. The impact of interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor antagonists as induction therapy was determined. There were a total of 51 graft failures due to thrombosis among the 2750 reported renal transplants (1.85%) (95% CI (1.39%, 2.41%)). This represents the most common cause of graft loss during the first year post-transplant accounting for 35% of first year losses and 18% of all graft losses. The incidence of thrombosis among patients who received IL-2 receptor antibodies was 1.07% (12/1126) compared to 2.40% (39/1624) among patients who did not (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.23, 0.84, p = 0.014). Use of IL-2 receptor blockade was the only significant prognostic factor in a multivariate model with previously identified risk factors. Analysis of NAPRTCS data found that the use of IL-2 receptor antibodies as induction therapy is associated with a significantly decreased risk of graft failure due to thrombosis. This provocative finding requires further investigation to determine whether thrombotic failure can be decreased by this therapeutic strategy.     

TCD观察动脉瘤性SAH后脑血管痉挛的血流动力学改变

目的探讨动脉瘤性蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)后脑血管痉挛的血流动力学改变。方法经CT、DSA证实为动脉瘤性SAH患者179例,床旁经颅超声多谱勒(TCD)在术前、术后1~3d、5~7d、9~11d、12~14d记录并分析大脑中动脉(M CA)的血流参数及频谱改变。结果M CA平均血流速度(Vm)于SAH后1~3d开始升高,5~7d、9~11d达到高峰;L I(血管痉挛指数)为3~6时预后良好;>6时可以出现神经系统功能损害,颅内压增高且有脑血管痉挛(CV S)者预后较差。结论TCD能无创、实时评价SAH后CV S的动态变化,可以推断SAH后CV S的严重程度及临床转归。     

细胞内游离Ca2+在发育中大鼠皮层神经元无镁诱导惊厥性损伤中的作用

目的: 观察细胞内游离Ca2+([Ca2+]i)在培养的不同发育阶段皮层神经元无镁诱导惊厥性损伤中的作用,探讨惊厥性脑损伤年龄依赖性的可能机制.方法:体外培养6 d、17 d的胚胎大鼠皮层神经元用无镁细胞外液处理3 h,或于无镁处理前用NMDA(N-甲基-D-门冬氨酸)受体拮抗剂或Ca2+通道阻滞剂预处理,用MTT代谢率测定的方法检测神经元损伤,以Fluo-3作标记用激光共聚焦显微镜扫描的方法检测[Ca2+]i.结果:体外培养6 d、17 d的神经元单纯无镁组MTT代谢率较同期对照组降低.应用MK-801 10 μmol*L-1、AP-5 50 μmol*L-1、尼莫地平10 μmol*L-1预处理后再给无镁处理,培养6 d、17 d的神经元MTT代谢率均不同程度高于同期单纯无镁组.培养6 d、17 d的神经元相对荧光强度之间差异有显著性,两者与基线荧光强度比较差异亦有显著性.应用上述各种拮抗剂后,[Ca2+]i改变的峰值均明显低于同期单纯无镁组.结论: 在体外不同发育阶段的神经元,短暂无镁处理诱导惊厥样放电所引起的神经元线粒体功能损伤以及[Ca2+]i改变程度不同.这种[Ca2+]i改变的年龄依赖性可能是惊厥导致神经元损伤的年龄依赖性的机制之一.NMDA受体-Ca2+通道激活是导致这种[Ca2+]i改变及神经元损伤的关键环节.
