背景:浴光疗同步治疗银屑病的有效性与UVB和死海盐的多靶点作用有关,同步治疗能够起到协同功效。目的:本回顾性研究的目的:①评价浴光疗同步治疗各种临床类型银屑病的有效性;②观察治疗反应有无不同;③获得更多数据以预测对不同类型银屑病的治疗效果,以便针对患者的类型选择治疗效果良好的方法。方法:根据Regensburg计划,患者接受了一个包括35次治疗的基础同步浴光疗疗程,随后又接受了一个包括25次治疗的维持治疗疗程。治疗中每周进行PASI评分以评价患者的皮肤状态。对373例按计划完成基础疗程的患者和其中78例完成维持疗程的患者的治疗…     

Electron microscopic immunocytochemical evidence for the existence of bidirectional synaptic connections between growth hormone-releasing hormone- and somatostatin-containing neurons in the hypothalamus of the rat

Synaptic contacts between growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)- and somatostatin-containing neurons were demonstrated in the rat hypothalamus by a double-staining immunocytochemical method at the electron microscopic level. Somatostatin-immunoreactive nerve terminals synapse on GHRH-positive dendrites and cell bodies in the arcuate nucleus. A fine network of GHRH-immunopositive nerve terminals was observed at the light microscopic level in the rostral part of the periventricular nucleus and in the dorsal part of the arcuate nucleus around somatostatin-containing neuronal elements. With the electron microscope synaptic contact between GHRH-containing nerve terminals and somatostatin-containing dendrites are demonstrated. The reciprocal innervation between GHRH- and somatostatin-containing neurons that project to the median eminence and regulate growth hormone secretion must allow them to coordinate their activities.     

多济敷对面部磨削创面愈合的临床疗效观察

目的：本研究采用多济敷外用于面部皮损磨削术后创面,观察其对创面愈合时间、皮肤色素沉着等的变化。方法：采用区域神经阻滞或局部浸润麻醉,对不同类型的面部皮损34例进行皮肤磨削治疗,术后创面应用多济敷或凡士林纱布作为底层敷料包扎创面,术后换药一次,保留底层敷料。结果：2001年8月至2003年9月间,通过自身对照,34例面部磨削术后采用多济敷治疗组较凡士林纱布组创面愈合时间缩短(P＜0．05),经过6个月至2年的随访,皮肤色素沉着也有明显改善。结论：多济敷有利于缩短面部磨削术后创面愈合时间,改善面部色素沉着,外观满意。     

Thymoma--a retrospective study of 48 cases

Of the 48 thymomas operated on between 1968 and 1985 50% were associated with myasthenia gravis, in 25% diagnosis was made due to accidental X-ray findings. In the staging according to Masaoka et al. [10] the following distribution was noted: I:22, II:5, III:18, IV:3. The 5-year survival rate of the 37 curatively resected patients was 78.5% (stage I: 88.6%, stage III: 55.6%). No stage III patient with residual tumor survived more than 2 years. Predominantly epithelial tumors had a significantly worse prognosis as compared to those with lymphocytic predominance. None of the 4 patients with category II thymoma survived more than 15 months. Association with myasthenia proved to have a negative prognostic influence in stage I and II patients. Frequency of local recurrences and metastases is documented. The value of irradiation and chemotherapy is discussed.     

Contractile and endothelium-dependent dilatory responses of cerebral arteries at various extracellular magnesium concentrations

To clarify the effect of extracellular magnesium (Mg2+) on the vascular reactivity of feline isolated middle cerebral arteries, the effects of slight alterations in the Mg2+ concentration on the contractile and endothelium-dependent dilatory responses were investigated in vitro. The contractions, induced by 10(-8)-10(-5) M norepinephrine, were significantly potentiated at low Mg2+ (0.8 mM v. the normal, 1.2 mM). High (1.6 and 2.0 mM) Mg2+ exhibited an inhibitory effect on the contractile responses. No significant changes, however, in the EC50 values for norepinephrine were found. The endothelium-dependent relaxations induced by 10(-8)-10(-5) M acetylcholine were inhibited by high (1.6 and 2.0 mM) Mg2+. Lowering of the Mg2+ concentration to 0.8 mM or total withdrawal of this ion from the medium failed to alter the dilatory potency of acetylcholine. The changes in the dilatory responses also shifted the EC50 values for acetylcholine to the right. The present results show that the contractile responses of the cerebral arteries are extremely susceptible to the changes of Mg2+ concentrations. In response to contractile and endothelium-dependent dilatory agonists, Mg2+ probably affects both the calcium influx into the endothelial and smooth muscle cells as well as the binding of acetylcholine to its endothelial receptor. Since Mg2+ deficiency might facilitate the contractile but not the endothelium-dependent relaxant responses, the present study supports a role for Mg2+ deficiency in the development of the cerebral vasospasm.
