Reduction in sodium chloride intake: effects on urinary Na, K and aldosterone output in healthy free-living adults

Eleven healthy free-living adults (six women, five men) weighed and recorded all food and drink consumed and collected all urine for two non-consecutive 7-day periods whilst eating their usual diet (Period 1) and attempting to reduce salt intake (Period 2). Bread (including pitta bread) provided on average a quarter of total Na intake of subjects in Period 1 so that wholemeal bread made without added salt was made available in Period 2. All subjects achieved substantial reductions (mean 65%) in Na intake in Period 2 with no change in K intake so that the Na:K molar ratio fell from 1.3 to 0.5. Urinary Na output closely followed intakes and there was a large increase (mean 11.2 μg/d) in aldosterone excretion with a non-significant increase in K output. Simple linear relationships which allow prediction of Na and K intake from the more easily measured urinary output were derived.     

Jejunal carcinoma with adenoma —Report of a case and review of the Japanese literature—

A rare case of jejunal carcinoma coexisting with adenoma, situated 120 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz in a 53 year old male, is reported herein. We also review cases of adenoma and carcinoma in the jejunum and ileum from the Japanese literature, and discuss the histogenesis of carcinoma of the jejunum and ileum.     

上海市闵行区流动人口中的孕产妇保健状况

通过对上海市闵行区580名外来孕产妇及580名作为对照的本地孕产妇的孕产期保健现况调查分析,表明外来孕产妇缺乏必要的孕产期保健措施,有47.6％的外来孕产妇从未做产前检查,产后保健则完全没有,并由此而造成外来产妇在急产、死产、甚至孕产妇死亡等方面令人忧虑的现状。为适应和促进当前经济发展的新形势,改善流动人口的孕产妇保健状况,应对流动人口中孕产妇保健状况深入研究,并采取相应的措施。     

An unusual dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: a case report

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) previously called Morbus Darier is an intermediate grade sarcoma with a fairly high rate of recurrence, it occurs most commonly on the trunk and extremities but may also occur in the head and neck region. Treatment of choice is wide excision. A 69-year-old female patient with a 57-year history of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is presented. The lesion appeared on the right forehead and both eyelids at the age of 12 years. The patient required 64 surgeries mostly for the head and neck lesions.     

Surgical management for mentosternal contractures by flap procedures

Mentosternal contractures still represent a surgical challenge due to their prominent position. They require early operative treatment for both function and aesthetic reasons. Careful clinical examination of scar position and traction forces, both at rest and when functioning, in addition to proper evaluation of the surrounding soft tissue are mandatory for precise preoperative planning of the required reconstruction. In general, the technically most feasible operation is favored if the functional and aesthetic results are good and postoperative risk for recurrence is low. Between 1987 and 1994, 21 patients with cervical, mentosternal, and mentothoracic contractures were operated upon. Eight patients were reconstructed with local flaps and 13 with microvascular free flaps.     

镍作业工人细胞免疫功能、血清硒和过氧化脂质含量的变化

９６名镍作业工人测定结果：非特异酯酶阳性细胞百分率（ＡＮＡＥ＋％）为７６．８％±８．０％，Ｔ细胞亚群ＣＤ２、ＣＤ４、ＣＤ８阳性细胞百分率（ＣＤ＋２％、ＣＤ＋４％、ＣＤ＋８％）及ＣＤ＋４／ＣＤ＋８比值分别为６５．６％±１０．５％、５６．３％±１２．１％、３４．３％±８．２％和１．７６±０．６；酵母多糖刺激的外周血多形核白细胞化学发光（ＰＭＮ－ＣＬ）本底和峰值分别为４８±２３和３０７３±６８４ＣＰＳ／１０６ＰＭＮ；血清硒和丙二醛含量分别为１．２２±０．２３和４．７６±０．８８μｍｏｌ／Ｌ。与非镍作业的地区对照组比较，Ｔ细胞ＣＤ＋８％增高，ＣＤ＋４／ＣＤ＋８比值下降，化学发光的本底值降低，峰值增加，血清Ｓｅ含量下降，丙二醛含量升高。分析镍作业工人工龄与后三项指标变化的关系，工龄大于２０年与小于１０年有统计学上明显差别。这些观察指标为镍作业人员医学观察增加新的监护指标提供依据。     

垂体后叶素和硝酸甘油联合治疗食管静脉曲张破裂大出血

３０例肝硬化食管静脉曲张破裂大出血患者，用垂体后叶素０．２～０．４Ｕ／ｍｉｎ连续静脉滴注和硝酸甘油含服联合治疗。结果表明，近期止血有效申达８０％，死亡率１０％；无一例出现严重心绞痛和心电图异常。     

Study on lymphocyte activation and proliferation induced by anti-CD3 McAb

Summary T cell activation and proliferation via CD₃-TCR complex were investigated by lymphocyte DNA synthesis in vitro. Several interfering factors were also discussed. The result indicated that lymphocyte activation and proliferation are calciumdependent. A rise of cytoplasmic free Ca²⁺ quickly following activation with CD₃ McAb is mainly due to intracellular mobilization of Ca²⁺, while lymphocyte proliferation needs both intracellular mobilization of Ca²⁺ as well as influx of extracellular Ca²⁺. It was confirmed that CTX sensitive G protein plays a role in regulating T cell proliferation by pretreatment with CTX suppressing lymphocyte³H-TdR incorporation obviously. PLC and PKC inhibitor neomycin and P. S. S could also decrease T cell proliferation.     

瘤体骨切除灭活再植治疗四肢长骨巨细胞瘤

体内刮除及灭活植骨治疗骨巨细胞瘤（ＧＣＴ）的复发率高。我科从１９８６年６月～１９９６年２月治疗四肢长骨ＧＣＴ２４例。随访１１个月～８年４个月。其中７例采用局部切刮体内灭活植骨和（或）骨水泥充填治疗。结果１例感染，６例复发，１例恶变后死于肺转移。作者自１９９１年１月采用瘤体骨切除，离体灭活再植，与骨残端体内灭活相结合，骨缺损采用自家腓、髂骨移植，Ｌ－梯形加压钢板（Ｌ－ＴＣＰ）或梯形加压钢板（ＴＣＰ）固定治疗１７例，其中１２例保留关节，５例做膝关节融合。本组无菌创口感染１例，１例复发。在保留关节的１２例中９例关节功能恢复优良，１例尚可，２例差。充分说明瘤段骨切除体外灭活再植术疗效确实，复发率低。保留关节术式适于关节破坏较轻（＜＝１／２）者，结合关节残端体内灭活和有效的骨结构重建，有利于恢复关节功能。如关节面累及＞１／２，宜做骨关节端切除，灭活再植，下肢宜做关节融合或人工关节置换术。
