Prevention of venous thromboembolism in orthopedic surgery with vitamin K antagonists: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The benefit-to-risk ratio of vitamin K antagonists (VKA), relative to active comparators, especially low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH), for preventing venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery is debated. OBJECTIVES: We performed a meta-analysis of all randomized trials in orthopedic surgery comparing adjusted doses of VKA to control treatments. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An exhaustive literature search, both manual and computer-assisted, was performed. Studies were selected on the basis of randomization procedure (VKA vs. a control group). At least one of the following outcome measures was to be evaluated: deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), death, major hemorrhage or wound hematoma. Four reviewers assessed each article to determine eligibility for inclusion and outcome measures. RESULTS: VKAs were more effective than placebo or no treatment in reducing DVT [567 patients, relative risk (RR) = 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.37, 0.84, P < 0.01] and clinical PE (651 patients, RR = 0.23, 95% CI 0.09, 0.59, P < 0.01). These results were obtained at the cost of a higher rate of wound hematoma (162 patients, RR = 2.91, 95% CI 1.09, 7.75, P = 0.03). VKAs were also more effective than intermittent pneumatic compression (534 patients, RR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.25, 0.82, P = 0.009) in preventing proximal DVT. In contrast, VKAs were less effective than LMWH in preventing total DVT and proximal DVT (9822 patients, RR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.27, 1.79, P < 0.001; and 6131 patients, RR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.04, 2.17, P = 0.028, respectively). The differences between VKA and LMWH in major hemorrhage and wound hematoma were not significant. CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, VKAs are less effective than LMWH, without any significant difference in the bleeding risk.

白介素-12家族与实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎的研究进展

实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)是自身反应性CD4+T细胞,即辅助性T细胞(Th细胞)介导的自身免疫性中枢神经系统脱髓鞘性炎症,在EAE的发病中,Th细胞分泌的细胞因子起了重要的调节作用。白介素-12(IL-12)家族由IL-12和最近发现的白介素-23(IL-23)、白介素-27(IL-27)组成,是一类结构相似、具有共价结合的杂化双链的细胞因子,在细胞免疫尤其是Th1型炎症反应中,起重要的调节作用。本文综合论述了IL-12家族各成员与EAE的关系的研究,揭示了各因子在EAE发生发展中的作用。

实验性大鼠大脑皮层梗死后继发丘脑损害与DNA氧化损伤

目的观察大鼠大脑皮层梗死后丘脑腹后外侧核(ventroposterior nucleus of the thalamus,VPN)的继发性损害是否有DNA氧化损伤,并研究抗氧化剂依布硒啉(ebselen,EB)对这种远隔部位损伤是否具有改善作用。方法采用易卒中型肾血管性高血压大鼠(stroke-prone renovascular hypertensive rats,RHRSP),建立大脑中动脉皮层支闭塞(middle cerebral artery occlusion,MCAO)模型后分为:①假手术组,②模型组,③溶剂组,④抗氧化剂EB10mg.kg-1组,⑤抗氧化剂EB30mg.kg-1组,每组5只大鼠。2周后行肢体运动神经功能评估并取VPN后行尼氏染色,免疫组化检测VPN的8-羟基-2-脱氧马苷(8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine,8-ohdG)表达。结果EB10mg.kg-1组和EB30mg.kg-1组神经功能评分优于假手术组(1.80±0.56,1.72±0.48vs2.28±0.33,P<0.05)。尼氏染色可见假手术组同侧VPN细胞形态规整。而梗死同侧VPN神经细胞出现细胞体积变小,胞核固缩,尼氏体退变为萎缩的深色细胞。EB30mg.kg-1组尼氏染色观察到改善作用。溶剂组同侧VPN的8-ohdG阳性细胞数目(0.1mm2)显著增加(146.8±12.1vs108.4±19.2,P<0.05);与溶剂组相比,EB10mg.kg-1组和EB30mg.kg-1组阳性细胞数目显著下降(123.6±14.7,123.4±17.4vs146.8±12.1,P<0.05)。结论实验性大脑皮层梗死后2周,同侧VPN存在DNA氧化性损伤。抗氧化剂EB对VPN的DNA氧化损伤有抑制作用,并可改善神经功能。     

肺挫伤致肺水肿患者血浆中E-SLT,IL-8,TNF-α和ET-1的变化

目的本研究观察胸部外伤所致肺水肿病人血中E-选择素、TNF、白细胞介素-8和内皮素的变化.方法用固相双夹心酶联免疫吸附法和放免技术共测定了24例胸部外伤病人在治疗前后血中E-选择素、肿瘤坏死因子、白细胞介素-8和内皮素浓度.结果临床肺水肿病人血中E-选择素、肿瘤坏死因子、白细胞介素-8和内皮素的浓度在发病时明显升高,与正常对照组比较,差异有显著性(P＜0.001).治愈后恢复正常,治疗后各项指标与正常对照组比较差异无显著性(P>0.05),但治疗前后差异有显著性(P＜0.001).结论E-选择素、肿瘤坏死因子、白细胞介素-8和内皮素在肺水肿发病机制中起着重要,随着这些因子的升高出现肺水肿并逐渐加重,这些因子降低后肺水肿逐步消失.因此对这些因子的检测有助于估计病情和评价疗效.     

The Protective Role of Glutathione, Cysteine and Vitamin C against Oxidative DNA Damage Induced in Rat Kidney by Potassium Bromate

The roles of glutathione (GSH), cysteine, vitamin C., liposome-encapsulated superoxide dismutase (L-SOD) and vitamin E in preventing oxidative DNA damage and cytotoxicity in the rat kidney after administration of potassium bromate (KBrO₃) to male F344 rats were investigated by measuring 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG), an oxidative DNA product, lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels and relative kidney weight (RKW). Combined pre- and posttreatment of animals with 2 × 800 mg/kg GSH i.p. inhibited the increase of 8-OH-dG, LPO levels and RKW caused by 80 mg/kg KBrO₃ i.p. administration. In contrast, pretreatment with 0.3 ml/kg diethylmaleate (DEM) i.p., a depletor of tissue GSH, was associated with elevation of 8-OH-dG, LPO levels and RKW after a 20 mg/kg KBrO₃ i.p. treatment, which itself caused no change. Administration of KBrO₃ itself reduced renal non-protein thiol levels, but this was inhibited by the two doses of exogenous GSH. Combined treatment with DEM and KBrO₃ lowered the non-protein thiol level in the kidney more than did DEM treatment alone. Protective effects against the oxidative damage caused by KBrO₃ were also observed for pre- and posttreatment with 400 mg/kg cysteine i.p., another sulfhydryl compound, and daily i.g. application of 200 mg/kg vitamin C for 5 days. However, no influence was evident after pre- and posttreatment with 18,000 U/kg L-SOD i.p. or daily i.g. 100 mg/kg of vitamin E for 5 days. The results suggest that intracellular GSH plays an essential protective role against renal oxidative DNA damage and nephrotoxicity caused by KBrO₃.     

Ubiquitous Presence in Mammalian Cells of Enzymatic Activity Specifically Cleaving 8-Hydroxyguanine-containing DNA

Here we report the finding of enzymatic activity that specifically cleaves DNA containing 8-hydroxyguanine (oh⁸Gua) residues in various mammalian cells. To detect this activity, we used a synthetic double-stranded DNA containing a single oh⁸Gua at a defined position as the substrate, and analyzed the products of enzymatic digestion by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two cleavage sites near the oh⁸Gua residue were detected with partially purified fractions from cow brain and rat liver, and also with preparations from all mammalian tissues examined. These results suggest that enzymatic activity for the removal of oh⁸Gua from DNA is widely distributed in mammalian cells.
