目的：探讨国人心率变异时域分析各项指标的正常值。方法：应用清华－西安兰港监测系统对１３５例１８～７９岁健康成人连续２４ｈ动态心电图监测。结果：①心率变异性时域：ＳＤＮＮ、ＳＤＳＤ、ＳＤＡＮＮ、ＲＭＳＳＤ、ＰＮＮ５０分别为１２９．５２±２７．２５ｍｓ；２１．１８±８．２０ｍｓ；１１４．７８±２６．８４ｍｓ；３１．３６±１２．６７ｍｓ；８．５０ ± ７．８０ｍｓ，所测得正常值范围与国内外研究结果相似。②１８～３５岁组、３６～５９岁组，均与≥６０岁组有非常显著的差异（Ｐ＜０．０１，或Ｐ＜０．０５）。③各年龄组男女间ＳＤＮＮ、ＳＤＳＤ、ＰＮＮ５０无显著差异（Ｐ＞０．０５），但ＳＤＡＮＮ男性较女性大（Ｐ＜０．０５）；女性ＲＭＳＳＤ较男性大（Ｐ＜０．０５）。结论：ＳＤＮＮ＞１００ｍｓ；ＳＤＳＤ＞１２ｍｓ；ＳＤＡＮＮ＞８７ｍｓ；ＲＭＳＳＤ＞１８ｍｓ；ＰＮＮ５０＞０．７％可作为ＨＲＶ时域分析参考正常值。     

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus associated with empty sella

A 70-year-old female presented with the clinical triad of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and senile tremor. Neuroimaging disclosed findings of both NPH and empty sella (ES). A ventriculoperitoneal shunt did not modify the clinical course except for a mild and transient improvement, and shunt malfunction occured later on. The association of NPH and ES may result from a common underlying mechanism such as transient increases in intracranial pressure.     

年龄因素对健康人心率变异性的影响

目的探讨年龄因素对健康人心率变异性（ＨＲＶ）的影响。材料与方法将２３６例健康人分为五个年龄组，使用美国先进医用设备公司５．０版本ＨＲＶ软件做短时时域及频域ＨＲＶ分析。结果年龄因素对健康人ＨＲＶ短时时域和频域分析的多项指标产生显著影响，随着年龄增大，时域指标中的ＨＲＳＤ、ＳＤＡＮＮ、ｒＭＳＳＤ及ＰＮＮ５０均逐渐降低；随着年龄增长，频域指标中各频段下的绝对面积，即：ＶＬＦ、ＬＦ、ＭＦ及ＨＦ均逐渐降低；而频域指标中各频段下的相对面积，即：ＶＬＦＰ、ＬＦＰ、ＭＦＰ、ＨＦＰ随着年龄增长呈不同的发展趋势。ＬＦ／ＨＦ随着年龄的增加而逐渐升高。结论ＨＲＶ随着年龄的增加而下降，尤以迷走神经活性下降为显著。频域指标中各频段的相对面积较绝对面积能更敏感地反映交感、迷走神经张力的消长。     

幼师生自尊与心理健康的相关研究

目的 检验幼师女生自尊水平与心理健康的关系。方法 使用自尊量表和SCL-90量表对196名幼师女生进行测量。结果 幼师女生的心理健康总体水平不高，幼师女生自尊水平与心理健康之间存在的显著的负相关。结论 一方面幼师女生的自尊受心理健康水平的影响，特别是抑郁、强迫和人际敏感等方面；另一方面幼师女生的自尊也会影响她们的心理健康水平。     

Does Low FEV1 in Addition to Fixed Ratio and/or Lower Limit of Normal of FEV1/FVC Improve Prediction of Mortality in COPD? The NHANES-III-linked-mortality Cohort

Purpose

There is presently an ongoing debate on the relative merits of suggested criteria for spirometric airway obstruction. This study tests the null hypothesis that no superiority exists with the use of fixed ratio (FR) of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.7 versus less than lower limit predicted (LLN) criteria with or without FEV1 <80% predicted in regards to future mortality.

The thymus as primary site for antigen-specific T suppressor cells in neonatally induced tolerance to bovine serum albumin

The ontogeny of antigen-specific T suppressor cells in thymus and spleen was analyzed in CBA/Ca mice which were rendered tolerant as neonates by subimmunogenic doses of bovine serum albumin (low-zone tolerance). Activity of T suppressor cells from those mice was assessed by an assay in which spleen cells from animals primed with fluorescein-conjugated human gamma globulin can be stimulated in vitro to produce IgG anti-fluorescein antibodies when cultured in the presence of fluorescein-conjugated bovine serum albumin. Carrier-specific T suppressor cells appear first in the thymus (day 10), and much later (day 30) in the spleen. The data are discussed in connection with the possible role of T suppressor cells during induction of tolerance in newborn mice.     

Predictive value of normal sperm morphology: a structured literature review

The aim of the study was to conduct a structured review of theliterature published on the use of normal sperm morphology,as an indicator of male fertility potential in the in-vitrofertilization (IVF) situation, and to establish the universalpredictive value of this semen parameter. Published literaturein which normal sperm morphology was used to predict fertilizationand pregnancy, during the period 1978-1996, was reviewed. Atotal of 216 articles were identified by the sourcing methodology,but only 49 provided data that could be tabulated and analysed.Of these, only 18 provided sufficient data for statistical analysis.Fifteen studies used the strict criteria to evaluate sperm morphology,two used World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and oneused both the strict criteria and the WHO guidelines. All thestudies (n=10) using the 5 and 14% normal sperm morphology thresholds(strict criteria) produced positive predictive values for IVFsuccess. In the prediction of pregnancy, 82% (9/11) and 75%(6/8) of the studies produced positive predictive values whenusing the 5% and 14% thresholds respectively. Aggregating thedata produced around the 5% normal sperm morphology threshold(strict criteria), the overall fertilization rates were 59.3%(1979/3337; per oocyte) for the 4% group and 77.6% (10345/13327;per oocyte) for the >4% group, and the overall pregnancyrates were 15.2% (60/395; per cycle) and 26.0% (355/1368; percycle) respectively. The no-transfer rates across the 5% thresholdwere 24.0% (86/359; per cycle) in the 4% group compared to 7.4%(80/1088; per cycle) in the >4% group. The inclusion of anaccurately evaluated normal sperm morphology count as an integralpart of the standard semen analysis makes this analysis stillthe most cost-effective means of evaluating the male factor.     

Calretinin expression in human normal and neoplastic tissues: a tissue microarray analysis on 5233 tissue samples

Calretinin is a calcium-binding protein expressed in different normal and neoplastic tissues. Early studies suggested that calretinin is a useful marker to differentiate adenocarcinomas from malignant mesotheliomas of the lung, but subsequent work has shown that calretinin can be expressed in several other tumor types. To systematically investigate the epidemiology of calretinin expression in normal and neoplastic tissues, we used tissue microarrays (TMAs) to analyze the immunohistochemically detectable expression of calretinin in 5233 tissue samples from 128 different tumor categories and 76 different normal tissue types. At least 1 case with weak expression could be found in 74 of 128 (58%) different tumor types and 46 entities (36%) had at least 1 tumor with strong positivity. In normal tissues, a particularly strong expression was found in Leydig cells of the testis, neurons of the brain, theca-lutein and theca interna cells of the ovary, and mesothelium. In tumors, strong calretinin expression was most frequently found in malignant mesotheliomas (6 of 7), Leydig cell tumors of the testis (5 of 5), adenomas of adrenal gland (5 of 9), and adenomatoid tumors (4 of 9). In summary, calretinin is frequently expressed in many different tumor types. Metastases of various different origins must be included in the differential diagnosis of calretinin-positive pleura tumors.
