Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Vitamin B12 Levels in Demented Patients with CH3—B12 Treatment—Preliminary Study—

Abstract: The vitamin B12 (VB12) parameter was studied in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 14 demented patients. Eleven of these patients were in a state of dementia of the degenerative type such as Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia and Pick's disease. The serum VB12 concentration in all the patients was within normal limits, I.e. 500–1,300 pg/ml. There was no significant difference between the CSF-VBl2 levels and the severity of dementia. The serum and CSF-VB12 levels of the demented patients did not show any significant elevation after the oral administration of CH3–Bl2, 2 mg per day. On the other hand, there was a marked elevation of both the serum and CSF-VB12 after an oral medication (2 mg per day) plus intramuscular administrations (500 μg per day). These results confirm that the intramuscular administration of CH3–B12 is an effective way to get a higher value of the serum and CSF-VB12 levels.     

3D kinematic analysis of the acromioclavicular joint during arm abduction using vertically open MRI.

Many researchers have evaluated the motions of the shoulder girdle, especially scapular and humeral motion. However, few reports exist that describe motions of the acromioclavicular joint. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the 3D kinematics of the acromioclavicular joint during arm abduction using 3D MR images obtained by a vertically open MRI. Fourteen shoulders of seven volunteers were examined in seven static positions from 0 degrees to the maximum abduction in a seated position. 3D surface models of the clavicle and scapula were created, and the movements of the acromioclavicular joint from 0 degrees to each position were calculated using the volume-based registration technique. From these calculations, the translations were evaluated and the rotational motions were analyzed using the concept of the screw axis. In the anteroposterior direction, the clavicle translated most posteriorly (-1.9 +/- 1.3 mm) at 90 degrees of abduction and most anteriorly (1.6 +/- 2.7 mm) at maximum abduction. In the superoinferior direction, the clavicle translated slightly superiorly (0.9 +/- 1.9 mm). When analyzing relative motion of the scapula with respect to the clavicle, the scapula generally rotated about a specific screw axis passing through the insertions of both the acromioclavicular and the coracoclavicular ligaments on the coracoid process. The average rotation was 34.9 +/- 8.4 degrees.

Recommendations for the topical treatment of psoriasis

Several topical treatments are available for patients with psoriasis. Although individualization of the treatment remains important, there is a need for treatment recommendations to identify the best treatment out of the available treatments and to help with improvement in treatment compliance. In this communication we give our views on the assessment of severity of psoriasis. We provide recommendations for selection of treatments, reconciling the clearance phase and the long‐term management. Finally, we provide recommendations for the treatment of particular localizations: the scalp and psoriasis at sensitive sites.     

长链核酸扩增技术评价病毒灭活效果的研究

目的:探讨用长链核酸扩增技术评价病毒灭活效果的可行性.方法:针对伪狂犬病毒(pseudorabies virus,PRV)糖蛋白gD基因前后的保守区设计预计产物长短不一的5对引物,用半巢式PCR技术扩增经低pH法(4.0±0.1)、巴氏消毒法[(60±1.0)℃]和s/D法(有机溶剂/洗涤荆)处理后的PRV核酸,同时以细胞感染法做平行对照.结果:低pH对PRV核酸有破坏作用,处理时间越长,核酸损伤程度越明显,处理60 min时,6.62 lgTCID50的PRV完全被灭活.5条不同长度PCR扩增产物中,只有3.9 kb的长片段检出与细胞培养结果一致.7.25 lgTCID50的PRV经(60±1.0)℃处理20 min后即被完全灭活,7.13 lgTCID50的PRV经s/D法处理1 h后被完全灭活,但各长度核酸片段扩增均为阳性,与细胞感染试验结果不符.结论:低pH对PRV核酸的损伤程度随处理时间的延长而增加;用长链PCR(3.9 kb)技术来评价经低pH法灭活病毒的效果是可行的,而该法不适合评价巴氏消毒法和S/D法灭活病毒的效果.

舟月骨间韧带在腕尺桡偏时舟月骨三维运动中的作用

目的 观察在腕关节尺桡偏运动时,舟月骨间韧带(scapholunate interosseous ligament,SLIL)及其各亚区分级切断后对舟骨与月骨三维运动的影响,从亚区水平对SLIL在舟月骨三维运动中的作用进行研究.方法 取12例新鲜冰冻成人上肢标本(左、右侧各6例),共分为正常对照组、断SLIL近侧组、断SLIL近+背侧组、断SLIL近+掌侧组、SLIL全断组(每组6例).采用三维激光扫描及图像重建技术,测定在腕关节尺桡偏时舟骨与月骨的三维运动数据,并进行统计学处理.结果 在正常腕关节做尺桡偏运动时,舟、月骨同时也做尺桡偏运动,但还伴有明显的屈伸方向上的运动;与此同时,舟、月骨还做一定的旋前、旋后活动.在切断近+掌和近+背侧亚区组,舟月骨的活动受到影响.全切断SLIL会导致舟骨掌屈度增加,月骨掌屈活动减弱.结论 采用三维激光扫描及图像重建技术可准确测定腕舟月骨的三维活动度,从SLIL亚区水平上进行的研究表明,部分或全部切断SLIL后会对舟月骨的掌屈程度产生明显影响,但SLIL近侧亚区在控制舟、月骨的活动上不起主要作用.     

Current state of vitiligo therapy – evidence-based analysis of the literature

Vitiligo is a skin disease with a worldwide prevalence ranging from 0.5% to 4%. Conservative therapies include photochemotherapy, phototherapy with UVB radiation (broadband UVB 290–320 nm, narrow band UVB 311 nm), systemic steroids and pseudocatalase. Modern therapeutic options include treatment with topical immunomodulators (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus), analogues of vitamin D3, excimer laser and surgery/transplantation. Our analysis compares these therapies for vitiligo and the evidence levels supporting their effectiveness. Conclusions: The face and neck respond best to all therapeutic approaches, while the acral areas are least responsive. For generalized vitiligo, phototherapy with UVB radiation is most effective with the fewest side effects; PUVA is the second best choice.Topical corticosteroids are the preferred drugs for localized vitiligo. They may be replaced by topical immunomodulators which display comparable effectiveness and fewer side effects.The effectiveness of vitamin D analogues is controversial with limited data. Surgical therapy can be very successful, but requires an experienced surgeon and is very demanding of time and facilities, thus limiting its widespread use. L-phenylalanine therapy appears effective on the face but enjoys neither widespread use nor extensive data support. No single therapy for vitiligo can be regarded as the most effective as the success of each treatment modality depends on the type and location of vitiligo.
