肾综合征出血热患者T细胞亚群数量与白细胞介素2,4水平变化的关系

采用ABC免疫组化染色法及单克隆抗体夹心法ELISA，同步检测了34例肾综合征出血热（HFRS）患者外周血T细胞亚群数量和血清白细胞介素2和4（IL－2、IL－4）水平。发现HFRS病程中各T细胞亚群数量均有不同程度的升高，其中CDS阳性T细胞在各病期均有升高。IL－4水平升高仅见于发热期．而IL－2的升高主要在低血压期和少尿期。病程中有CD4／CD8比值的下降甚至倒置。这种比值的变化与IL－2和IL－4的动态变化有一定的相关性。结果揭示，在HFRS发病机理中存在Thl型和Th2型免疫反应等多种免疫病理机制。     

Basic fibroblast growth factor mRNA, bFGF peptide and FGF receptor in epiretinal membranes of intraocular proliferative disorders (PVR and PDR)

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been shown to be involved in epiretinal membrane formation in proliferative vitreoretinal disorders. However, up to now, little knowledge exists, as to the actual cellular source of this potent mitogen.We examined 20 epiretinal membranes from patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) (n = 12) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) (n = 8) for the presence of bFGF peptide, fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) and bFGF messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA).Using a specific antibody, we detected bFGF peptide in most (8/10) examined PDR membranes and in all (8/8) PVR membranes. Moreover, we found positive staining for the corresponding receptor.Local production of bFGF in epiretinal membranes was confirmed by nonisotopic in situ hybridisation for bFGF mRNA in some (4/7) examined PDR membranes and some (3/4) examined PVR membranes. All membranes which contained bFGF mRNA were also positive for bFGF peptide.In conclusion, bFGF is produced and stored in epiretinal membranes. Together with the corresponding receptor, bFGF may play a role in the auto- and paracrine control of the proliferative processes at the vitroretinal interface.Abbreviations aFGF acidic fibroblast growth factor - bFGF basic fibroblast growth factor - FGFR-1 fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 - mRNA messenger ribonucleic acid     

Precise and limited decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis

Summary Fifty-eight consecutive patients with lumbosacral nerve root entrapment due to spinal stenosis were treated with modified microsurgical decompression. Only the clinically relevant sides and levels were decompressed while the spinous processes, the interspinous ligaments, the medial portion of ligamentum flavum and the functionally important parts of the facet joints were preserved. The reviewers rated recovery as good or excellent in 71% of patients while patient self-assessment indicated 76% good or excellent outcome. These data suggest that microsurgical decompression of spondyloarthritic changes can effectively relieve the signs and symptoms of nerve root compression and that with careful evaluation of all available data the number of nerve roots requiring decomperession is often fewer than what is suggested by diagnositic images alone.     

艾滋病142例临床表现分析

目的艾滋病(AIDS),是严重危害人类健康的疾病,临床上症状多变,应提高对AIDS的认识。现将作者在西非工作期间收治的142例AIDS病例的临床表现作一介绍。方法病例均为当地黑人居民,男性89例,女性53例,年龄14～45岁,平均年龄27.65岁。用酶联免疫吸附法和快速法检测患者血清中HIV—1和 HIV—2抗体。结果 HIV—1型25例(35.00％);HIV-2型74例(52.11％);混合型32例(22.53％)。临床表现为脑膜脑炎或脑炎7例(4.93％);肺型27例(19.01％);胃肠道感染84例(59.15％):包括急性48例(33.80％),慢性24例(16.90％),急腹症12例(8.45％);皮肤粘膜损害18例(12.68％):卡波齐肉瘤6例(4.23％),带状疱疹2例(1.41％),皮炎10例(7.04％),病死率19.72％(28/142)。其传播途径以性传播为主,高达78.87％(112/142),其次是密切生活接触,未发现吸毒或输血者。结论艾滋病病死率高,病情复杂,且目前尚无特效药物,必须引起医护人员高度重视。     

Acute Leukemia in an Infant with Marfan's Syndrome: A Case Report

We describe a familial case of Marfan's syndrome with associated intrathoracic stomach detected during the neonatal period. The patient developed a primitive leukemia at 3 months of age. Acute leukemia in a patient with Marfan's syndrome has not previously been reported.     

Large granular lymphocyte expansions in patients with Felty's syndrome: analysis using anti-T cell receptor V beta-specific monoclonal antibodies.

Felty's syndrome (FS), the association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and idiopathic neutropenia, remains an unexplained phenomenon. HLA-DR4 is found in over 90% of cases. Patients with FS may have a T cell lymphocytosis of CD3+CD8+CD57+ large granular lymphocytes (LGL syndrome). In this study of 47 patients with FS, 19% had clear evidence for LGL expansions, while in total 42% had variable evidence for the LGL syndrome using currently available techniques. Of these T cell expansions, 76% were clonal, as demonstrated by Southern blotting and analysis with T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain constant region probes. This technique may fail to detect clonal populations in some patients. Cytofluorographic analysis using antibodies specific for TCR V beta chains identified patients with clonal LGL expansions with results comparable to those obtained with Southern blotting. No evidence for shared V beta usage among expansions from different patients was seen. The role of LGL in RA and FS is currently unclear, but this technique offers a practical and accessible means of identifying patients with LGL expansions, as a starting point for further investigation.     

筋膜间隔综合征的高压氧治疗与血浆纤粘素变化的关系

本文首次报道采用253kPa的高压氧治疗24例创伤后筋膜间隔综合征(PACS)病人并采用免疫单扩散法检测了治疗前后血浆纤粘素(FN)的变化与预后的关系。30例健康人作为血浆FN的对照组。结果表明:16例早期PACS病人,经3～5次高压氧治疗,症状和体征逐渐好转,无1例作筋膜切开减压。6例筋膜切开减压后行高压氧治疗者,水肿、炎症消退,体温降低,临床症状好转。2例坏死期PACS虽然临床症状好转,但效果差。高压氧治疗后,病人血浆FN显著高于治疗前。分别较治疗前高43(18.9％;P<0.01)、61(24.7％;P<0.01)、49(17.2％;P<0.01)、57(17.4％;P<0.05)和55mg/L(16.6％;P<0.05)。根据本组研究的结果,提示高压氧是治疗早期PACS的有效非手术疗法和筋膜减压后有效辅助疗法。     

The neutrophil oxidative burst in diarrhoea – associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome

. Neutrophil-mediated tissue damage has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (D+ HUS). This study evaluates priming and activation of the neutrophil oxidative burst in D+ HUS using chemiluminescent techniques. Peripheral blood neutrophils from 11 children with acute D+ HUS were examined. No difference was found in the oxidative burst of neutrophils from patients and controls. Serum elastase levels were measured in 8 patients and found to be significantly elevated. Although elastase results suggest neutrophil activation, chemiluminescence studies do not confirm this in the peripheral blood neutrophil. This does not support a significant role for circulating agents in priming and activating the peripheral blood neutrophil.
