Histopathology of the teeth in segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia: new findings

Histological examination of the deciduous teeth in two cases of segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOMD) showed fibrous enlargement of the pulps, an irregular pulp/dentine interface displaying many pseudoinclusions and pulp stones. There were tubular defects in the coronal dentine from pulp horn to cusp tip, an irregular tubular structure to the circumpulpal dentine of the apical half, a focally deficient odontoblast layer and widespread external resorption. Together with the clinical features of unilateral maxillary enlargement, upper alveolar expansion in the distal segment, increased spacing and delayed eruption of the deciduous molars and absence of premolar teeth, these histological appearances allow distinction of this condition from fibrous dysplasia (FD), segmental hemifacial hypertrophy (SHH) and regional odontodysplasia (ROD).     

Pollen extracts reduce the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol in mice

Cernitins are preparations obtained from plant pollen which contain numerous compounds of potential biological significance. This work deals with the influence of cernitins upon acute paracetamol toxicity in mice. The survival rate and indices of hepatic injury: aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities, bilirubin level in serum, glutathione and cytochrome P-450 content in liver, liver weight, histopathologic picture of the liver and presence of glycogen and lipids in stained liver sections, under different experimental protocols, were determined. It was found that cernitins are able to increase the survival rate of mice and reduce liver injury in acute paracetamol poisoning. Cernitins are more effective when administered after, rather than before, a dose of paracetamol. The possible mechanism through which cernitins may act is discussed.

Comparison between laser and electrical ablation of ventricle in dogs: Hemodynamic,pathologic and electrocardiographic observations

Summary To characterize and compare the pathologic, hemodynamic and electrocardiographic changes of both transeatheter laser and electrical energy on ventricle, 33 subendocardial myocardium lesions were induced at energy 60, 120 and 240 Joules by either transcatheter laser irradiation or electrical shock in 7 anesthetized dogs. The following results were observed: 1) Both laser and electrical ablation on myocardium created nonhomogeneous myocardium injury, but laser ablation caused mainly focal tissue vaporization and necrosis, while electrical shock induced widespread tissue degenerations; 2) Both laser and electrical induced-lesion dimensions increased parallel to the total dosage of energy; 3) Laser ablation caused mainly (90%) single ventricular premature beats and 86 % of them occurred within the first minute after energy discharged, while ventricular tachycardias were found in any electrical energy groups; ventricular fibrillations occurring during laser and electrical ablation were 5 % and 13 % respectively (P< 0.01): 4) A decrease in aortic blood pressure and an increase in central verous pressure induced by laser ablation were significantly less than that produced by the same amount of electrical energy (P<0.0l). Our preliminary results have shown that transeatheter laser ablation has great potential for becoming a practical method in the management of refractory tachycardias.     

胱蛋白酶抑制剂C和内生肌酐清除率与肾脏病理变化的关系探讨

目的　了解血胱蛋白酶抑制剂 (cystatin)C和内生肌酐清除率 (Ccr)与肾脏病理变化的关系。 方法　选择 1999年 1月～ 2 0 0 3年 2月因各种肾脏疾病收治入院行肾穿刺活检术的患儿共 12 4例 ,入院后查血cys tatinC和Ccr ,并行肾穿刺活检术以了解肾脏病理变化 ,然后通过相关及多元线性回归分析了解血cystatinC和Ccr与肾脏病理变化的关系。结果　血cystatinC与肾脏病理变化的复相关系数 (R) =0 .6 91(P <0 .0 1) ,血cys tatinC与肾脏病理变化之间存在直线关系 ,其回归方程为Y =0 .6 0 5 +0 .30 7X1+0 .4 93X2 (F =5 5 .18,P <0 .0 1)。Ccr与肾脏病理变化的R =0 .4 0 5 (P <0 .0 1) ,Ccr与肾脏病理变化之间亦存在直线关系 (F =11.89,P<0 .0 1)。结论　血cystatinC比Ccr更能反映肾脏病理变化的严重程度。血cystatinC和Ccr均与肾间质的变化密切相关 ,尤以血cystatinC更敏感。因此 ,血cystatinC可作为判断肾脏疾病预后的重要参考指标 ,以及时了解肾脏病理变化采取有效的治疗。     

做好当前临床外科教学工作的思考

椎管内原发性孤立性纤维性肿瘤临床病理观察(附2例报告)

目的探讨椎管内孤立性纤维性肿瘤的临床病理特征、诊断和鉴别诊断,以期提高对该肿瘤的诊断水平。方法复习2例椎管内原发性孤立性纤维性肿瘤的临床资料,并观察其组织学特征和免疫组化标记。结果2例患者男、女各1例,年龄分别为23岁和32岁,临床表现为局部神经压迫症状。MRI示椎管内髓外硬膜内占位。组织学特征为梭形、卵圆形细胞呈束状、波浪状或旋涡状排列,富于胶原纤维及伴有分支状薄壁血管。细胞未见异型性和核分裂像。免疫组化示瘤细胞Vimentin( ),CD34( ),CD99( ),Bcl-2( ),AACT(-),Actin(-),S-100(-),EMA(-),GFAP(-),CD68(-),CD117(-),SMA(-),NF(-)。结论椎管内原发性孤立性纤维性肿瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤,诊断主要依靠病理形态学及免疫组化,并应与椎管内的其他梭形细胞肿瘤鉴别。
