重度烧伤患者休克期血浆B型钠尿肽含量变化及意义

Objective To study the plasma content of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with severe burn during shock stage and probe its clinical significance. Methods Forty-two patients aged 18-60 years, with total burn surface area ≥30%TBSA or full-thickness burn area ≥10% TBSA, hospital-ized within 4 hours after burn, were divided into A group (with total burn surface area 30% -50% TBSA or full-thickness burn area 10% -20% TBSA, n = 21 ), and B group (with total burn surface area 50% TB-SA or full-thickness burn area > 20% TBSA, n = 21 ). Twenty patients admitted during the same time for plastic surgery were enrolled as control group. The plasma levels of BNP, creatine kinase (CK), CK-MB, troponin I (Tnl) of all patients were determined on admission. The levels of BNP, Tnl and fluid resuscita-tion volume were examined at 8, 16, 24, 48 post burn hour (PBH) in A and B groups. Analysis of correla-tion between BNP and fluid resuscitation volume was performed. Results On admission: BNP level in A group (68±19 ng/L) and B group (99±38 ng/L) , respectively, was increased as compared with that in control group (17±7 ng/L, P <0.01 ). Tnl level in A group (2.13±0.67 μg/L) and B group (2.98± 0.58μg/L), respectively, was increased as compared with that in control group (0.12 ± 0.03 μg/L, P < 0.01). There was no obvious difference in CK, CK-MB levels among A, B, and control groups ( P > 0.05). BNP levels in A, B groups continuously rose during 8 - 48 PBH, and they were positively correlated with fluid resuscitation volume. TnI level peaked at 24 PBH, and decreased at 48 PBH. Conclusions The plasma level of BNP is sensitive to reflect changes in myocardial ischemia and hypoxia as a rise in level of TnI in shock stage of severe burn, and it was positively correlated with fluid resuscitation volume. BNP can be used to guide fluid resuscitation during shock stage.     

缬沙坦对急性心肌梗死患者左室结构和功能的影响

目的　观察缬沙坦对急性心肌梗死 (AMI)患者左室结构和功能的影响。方法　将 72例AMI患者随机分为两组 ,常规治疗组 36例 ,口服消心痛 10mg,3次 d;缬沙坦组 36例 ,口服消心痛 10mg ,3次 d ,缬沙坦80mg ,1次 d,并于治疗后 2周、 2 4周分别进行超声心动图和平衡法核素心室造影 ,测定左室心肌重量、左室收缩和舒张功能 ,了解缬沙坦对AMI后左室重塑的阻抑作用。结果　AMI治疗 2 4周时两组患者的室间隔厚度 (IVST)、左室后壁厚度 (LVPWT)、左室舒张末内径 (LVDd)和左室心肌重量指数 (LVMI)、左室射血分数 (LVEF)、左室峰射血率时间 (LPER)、左室高峰充盈率 (LPFR)和左室高峰充盈率时间 (LTPFR)的各均值间差别均有显著性意义 (P<0 0 5 )。结论　缬沙坦能明显减轻心肌梗死后心肌肥厚和左室重塑 ,改善左室功能。     

外伤性脾破裂切脾后及脾组织移植术后免疫功能观察分析

1952～1987年收治158例腹部闭合性损伤单纯脾破裂患者,其中全脾切除135例;脾切除并自体脾组织移植21例,脾破裂缝合修补2例。治愈率为98.1%,死亡率为1.9%。脾移植组及缝合修补组无1例死亡。92例获得免疫功能检验随访观察半年至35年,发现成人切脾后细胞免疫及体液免疫功能无明显影响,也未见脾切除后严重感染发生。认为成人除脾破裂表浅和局限易于修复或部分切除者外,均应行脾切除术,且无需行自体脾组织移植。小儿在脾切除后应行自体脾移植。     

人鼻粘膜表面超微结构及纤毛输送功能的研究

研究结果表明:①人鼻粘膜的上皮在胚胎期的发育并不完善。在新生儿,纤毛上皮细胞的融合刚刚开始,其表面的纤毛呈微绒毛状。②在最常见的四种鼻粘膜炎症病变中,其超微结构的损害程度以伴有化脓性感染者最重,慢性肥厚性鼻炎与萎缩性鼻炎次之,变态反应性鼻炎最轻。③上述四种炎症病人的鼻纤毛输送能力均较正常人差,其中以伴有化脓性感染者最差,慢性肥厚性鼻炎和萎缩性鼻炎次之,变态反应性鼻炎最轻。     

Changes in cardiovascular function induced by verapamil in healthy subjects and in patients with ischemic heart disease

Alterations in cardiovascular function induced by the acute intravenous administration of verapamil (5 or 10 mg) in 52 patients (29 with ischemic heart disease and 23 without heart disease) were evaluated with use of invasive techniques (right and left heart catheterization, left ventricular cineangiography, and coronary arteriography). The most significant changes were represented by a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and systemic arterial pressure, and an increase in heart rate and cardiac output. Contractility indexes were not depressed in either group, and altered ventricular wall motion tended to improve to a slightly smaller degree than in patients treated with nitroglycerin. The use of verapamil in patients with ischemic heart disease appears to be safe, and concern about the negative inotropic influences in humans no longer seems justified.     

An investigation of the neuropsychological profile in adults with velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS).

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) is associated with deletions on the long arm of chromosome 22, mild intellectual disability, poor social interaction and a high prevalence of psychosis. However, to date there have been no studies investigating the neuropsychological functioning of adults with VCFS. We compared 19 adults with VCFS with 19 age, gender and IQ matched controls using a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. Compared to controls, adults with VCFS had significant impairments in visuoperceptual ability (Visual Object and Space Perception Battery), problem solving and planning (Tower of London) and abstract and social thinking (Comprehension WAIS-R). It is likely that haploinsufficiency (reduced gene dosage) of a neurodevelopmental gene or genes mapping to chromosome 22q11 underlies the cognitive deficits observed in individuals with VCFS.     

Platelets as targets of snake venom metalloproteinases

For centuries snake venoms have been known to interfere with haemostasis and this is now known basically due either to toxins activating/inhibiting clotting factors, having effects on blood vessels or interfering with platelet function. In this short review, the interaction of one major group of toxins, the snake venom metalloproteinases, with platelets is considered. This is relevant for understanding the mechanism of haemorrhage induced by these toxins.
