阵发性睡眠性血红蛋白尿症患者3种GPI锚定蛋白表达的改变

目的 比较阵发性睡眠性血红蛋白尿症(PNH)患者血细胞表面3种糖基化磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚定蛋白表达情况。方法 流式细胞术检测25例PNH患者粒细胞表面GPI锚定蛋白CD55、CD59和CD87的表达水平，并分析它们在不同疾病状态下的改变。结果 PNH患者粒细胞表面3种GPI锚定蛋白间具有较好的相关性(P均＜0．05)，红细胞表面CD55和CD59也表现出相关(P＜0．01)，但与粒细胞表面CD55和CD59的缺乏情况并不一致。结论 PNH患者同一系血细胞表面GPI锚定蛋白呈平行关系，这有助于对PNH发病机制的进一步了解。

Filtration of fentanyl is not the cause of the elevation of arterial blood pressure associated with post-bypass ultrafiltration in children

Modified ultrafiltration after cardiopulmonary bypass in children has been shown to be associated with an increase in arterial blood pressure. As part of a series of studies to investigate the possible causes of this blood pressure elevation, the hypothesis that if filtration was removing a significant amount of fentanyl, then the increase in blood pressure might be due to pain was proposed. Ten children, aged between 0.5 and 9.3 years (median 3.8 years), weighing 5.9 to 25..5 kg (median 15.7 kg), underwent corrective cardiac surgery (incorporating modified ultrafiltration). A standard anesthetic protocol was followed, with up to 78 μg/kg of fentanyl given prebypass for analgesia. After completion of cardiopulmonary bypass, modified ultrafiltration was commenced at 100 mL/min until a hematocrit of 35% was reached. Samples were taken of arterial blood (prefiltration, 3, 10, and 20 minutes postfiltration), the venous reservoir blood (prefiltration) and the filtrate (5 and 10 minutes into filtration). Hemodynamic data were recorded both prefiltration and postfiltration. The hemodynamic data showed the expected rise in both systemic arterial pressure and cardiac index after ultrafiltration. The plasma fentanyl concentrations did not significantly change after ultrafiltration: 1.59 to 12.39 ng/mL (median 6.27 ng/mL) prefiltration and 2.05 to 15.59 ng/mL (6.29 ng/mL) at 3 minutes, 2.22 to 12.64 ng/mL (6.87 ng/mL) at 10 minutes, and 1.83 to 11.52 ng/mL (5.85 ng/mL) at 20 minutes postfiltration. The concentration of fentanyl in the venous reservoir, 2.06 to 11.64 ng/mL (7.04 ng/mL), was not significantly different from the plasma levels. The level of fentanyl in the filtrate was significantly less than the plasma levels, 0.243 to 1.87 ng/mL (0.894 ng/mL) at 5 minutes and 0.385 to 1.688 ng / mL (0.952 ng / mL) at 10 minutes into filtration; (P < 0.02 by the Wilcoxon signed-rank method). The data show that the plasma fentanyl concentration was not significantly reduced by modified ultrafiltration. The fentanyl levels found prefiltration were maintained postfiltration, and the observed changes in systemic arterial pressure were not due to an acute fall in the plasma concentration of analgesic drug.     

Complex segregation analyses of bone mineral density in Chinese

China has the largest population in the world; approximately 7% of the total population suffers from primary osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is mainly characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD). In the present study, familial correlation and segregation analyses for spine and hip BMDs have been undertaken for the first time in a Chinese sample composed of 401 nuclear families with a total of 1,260 individuals. The results indicate a major gene of additive inheritance for hip BMD, whereas there is no evidence of a major gene influencing spine BMD. Significant familial residual effects are found for both traits, and heritability estimates (±SE) for spine and hip BMDs are 0.807(0.099) and 0.897(0.101), respectively. Sex and age differences in genotype‐specific average BMD are also observed. This study provides the first evidence quantifying the high degree of genetic determination of BMD variation in the Chinese.     

Improved Assessment of Significant Activation in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI): Use of a Cluster-Size Threshold

The typical functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) study presents a formidable problem of multiple statistical comparisons (i.e, > 10,000 in a 128 x 128 image). To protect against false positives, investigators have typically relied on decreasing the per pixel false positive probability. This approach incurs an inevitable loss of power to detect statistically significant activity. An alternative approach, which relies on the assumption that areas of true neural activity will tend to stimulate signal changes over contiguous pixels, is presented. If one knows the probability distribution of such cluster sizes as a function of per pixel false positive probability, one can use cluster-size thresholds independently to reject false positives. Both Monte Carlo simulations and fMRI studies of human subjects have been used to verify that this approach can improve statistical power by as much as fivefold over techniques that rely solely on adjusting per pixel false positive probabilities.
