肌源性耳鸣的声导抗测试特征（附3例报告）

本文报道了１１例病例,并以３例典型病例就肌源性耳鸣的声导抗测试的基本方法和特征作了探讨。腭肌阵挛的幅度较大,在鼓室导抗图和声反射曲线上均可出现锯齿状波。镫骨肌阵挛在表情肌运动时可诱发,为持续性,镫骨肌声反射对其无影响或可掩盖之。鼓膜张肌阵挛与面部三叉神经受刺激有关,易疲劳,表现为一短暂的声顺变化波形。     

生物电子阻抗测定用于评估腹部肿瘤病人手术前后的营养状况

目的：评估生物电子阻抗测定对腹部肿瘤病人手术前,后营养状况分析的有效性。方法;选择２４例腹部肿瘤病人,用ＢＩＡ分别测得术前和术后第５天的电阻和感应电阻,通过计算机ＲＪＬ系统计算出身体细胞质量,脂肪和身体总水含量值,并与白蛋白和体重的变化相比较。结果;术后５天时,ＢＣＭ的下降具有显著性差异,这与白蛋白,ＦＡＴ,ＴＢＷ和体重的下降是一致的。     

Bioelectrical impedance methods in clinical research: a follow-up to the NIH Technology Assessment Conference

In 1994, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) convened a Technology Assessment Conference "to provide physicians with a responsible assessment of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology for body composition measurement." In 1997, Serono Symposia USA, Inc., organized an invited panel of scientists and clinicians, with extensive research and clinical experience with BIA, to provide an update. Panel members presented reviews based on their own work and published studies for the intervening years. Updates were provided on the single and multifrequency BIA methods and models; continued clinical research experiences; efforts toward establishing population reference norms; and the feasibility of establishing guidelines for potential diagnostic use of BIA in a clinical setting. This report provides a summary of the panel's findings including a consensus on several technical and clinical issues related to the research use of BIA, and those areas that are still in need of additional study.     

Hypertension in the elderly: Age- and disease-related complications and therapeutic implications

Summary Effective treatment of hypertension in the elderly requires an understanding of both the progressive course of the disease and the impact of aging on the cardiovascular system, including physiological, genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Review of the literature that has attempted to define the impact of an aging process on cardiovascular structure and function reveals a diversity of findings and interpretations. However, in general, normotensive elderly subjects exhibit the heart and vascular characteristics of muted hypertension, including many features of younger hypertensive patients: cardiac hypertrophy, diminution in resting left ventricular early diastolic filling rate, increased arterial stiffness and aortic impedance, diminution in the baroreceptor reflex, a diminished response to catecholamines and diminished renal blood flow, and an increase in peripheral vascular resistance (PVR). Treatment of elderly hypertensives is more challenging because of the greater likelihood of the presence of concomitant diseases, most importantly, coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis, renal dysfunction, and diabetes mellitus. Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), the most common form of hypertension in the elderly, has also been clearly shown to be an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and stroke. Treatment of ISH has been shown to lower systolic pressure safely and effectively in the elderly. By reducing PVR, and possibly the arterial stiffness, and thus the early reflected pulse waves, vasodilators, including calcium antagonists, may lower these three components of arterial impedance, and hence lower the arterial load on the heart. The cardiac hypertrophy and reduced left ventricular filling rate associated with hypertension in older individuals can also be ameliorated, to some extent, by calcium channel blockers.Proceedings of a symposium held in Atlanta, Georgia on March 2, 1991.     

Quantitative analysis of paradoxical inward rib cage movement during sleep in children

Paradoxical inward rib cage movement in children is quantified by the labored breathing index (LBI) on the respiratory inductive plethysmography. Labored breathing index during rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) in 59 children without obvious sleep disordered breathing (SDB) declined with age, and decreased to the mature low level at 35 months of age. The LBI was also found to reflect well the severity of SDB. Paradoxical inward rib cage movement, which was quantified by LBI, is concluded to be an important finding in diagnosing SDB in child patients.     

针灸治疗青光眼的临床及实验研究进展

综述了近10年针灸治疗青光眼的临床及实验研究进展。     

电针治疗对老年性痴呆大鼠血清β淀粉样蛋白及生长因子水平的影响

目的:观察电针对老年性痴呆(AD)模型大鼠β-淀粉样蛋白及转化生长因子(TGF-α)的影响,揭示针灸治疗的作用机理和针灸治疗AD的免疫基础。方法:建立AD大鼠模型,随机分为电针组、喜得镇组、模型自然恢复组、假手术组,观察血清β-AP和TGF-α水平。结果:电针组和喜得镇组大鼠血清β-AP水平明显下降(P<0.05),但仍明显高于假手术组。结论:电针能降低AD模型大鼠血清中β淀粉样蛋白及TGF-α。     

针灸治疗单纯性肥胖症及机理研究探讨

单纯性肥胖症是当今社会常见病、多发病之一。近年来 ,针灸治疗单纯性肥胖症无论在临床方面还是在实验机理研究方面 ,均取得较大进展。但针灸减肥的机理研究大多局限在中枢神经核团神经递质含量的研究 ,没有新的突破 ,在临床方面有待于更多、更科学、更规范的临床研究报道。     

针药结合治疗周围性面瘫200例

目的观察针药结合治疗周围性面瘫的疗效。方法将200例周围性面瘫病人按病位、病程、年龄、是否用药饼灸分为4组。观察以上闪素对疗效的影响。结果病位越低、病程越短、年龄越小。用药饼灸疗效越好。     

推拿、针刺对急性脑梗死大鼠细胞凋亡相关基因蛋白表达的影响

从细胞凋亡及其相关基因蛋白表达方面探讨推拿、针剌治疗急性脑缺血的作用机理。用线栓法制成SD大鼠大脑中动脉阻塞再灌注模型，在阻塞2小时再灌注24小时后，应用TUNEL法和免疫组织化学法检测针刺、推拿治疗后大鼠脑组织细胞凋亡及Bel-2、Bax蛋白表达。结果：推拿、针刺均可减少缺血所致TUNEL阳性表达，提高梗死周边区皮层Bcl-2／Bax的比值。提示推拿、针刺对急性脑缺血的治疗作用可能与其可抑制细胞凋亡有关，从而保护脑神经细胞。
