Monitoring Hepatocyte Dysfunction and Biliary Complication After Liver Transplantation Using Quantitative Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy

The significance of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) for hepatic graft function assessment was established mostly on retrospective studies and was not widely recognized due to the lack of quantitative data and variation in accuracy. This prospective study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of quantitative HBS for assessing hepatocyte dysfunction and biliary complication in liver transplant recipients.In 57 recipients who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation, a total of 67 dynamic ^99mTc-EHIDA scans were performed and quantitative parameters including the hepatocyte extraction fraction (HEF), time to maximum hepatic radioactivity (T_max), and time for peak activity to decrease by 50% (T_1/2) were calculated. The scintigraphic results based on the 3 parameters were compared against the final diagnosis. A ROC curve analysis was carried out to identify the cutoff value of T_max for diagnosis of biliary stricture. Correlation between the parameters of postoperative HBS and conventional biochemical liver function indices were also analyzed.Quantitative ^99mTc-EHIDA HBS had an overall sensitivity of 94.12% (16/17), specificity of 93.33% (42/45), and diagnostic accuracy of 93.55% (58/62) for detecting hepatocyte dysfunction and biliary complication in liver transplant recipients. The recommended cutoff value of T_max for diagnosis of post-transplant biliary stricture was set at 15.75 min with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 94.0%. The scintigraphic parameters (HEF, T_max) were statistically significantly associated with the conventional liver function parameters.Quantitative ^99mTc-EHIDA HBS offers a noninvasive imaging modality with high sensitivity and specificity to diagnose hepatocyte dysfunction as well as distinguish between patients with or without biliary stricture following liver transplantation. Furthermore, HEF and T_max values obtained from dynamic HBS show good correlation with conventional liver function parameters.     

人脑胶质瘤逃避免疫监视机制的研究

为研究胶质瘤逃避免疫监视的机制，检测了胶质瘤体外细胞系培养上清（SN）抗PHA－P刺激正常人及胶质瘤患者外周血淋巴细胞增殖的作用。证实了胶质瘤可自分泌免疫抑制因子。经抗TGFβ2单抗中和SN试验，TGFβ2免疫组化染色及Northern杂交进一步表明该因子主要成分为TGFβ2并对胶质瘤患者血浆皮质醇，生长激素及儿茶酚胺含量及细胞免疫功能进行检测，发现血浆去甲肾上腺素显著降低，其水平与CD8亚群％呈负相关，与CD4／CD8比值及淋巴细胞增殖率呈正相关。初步提示存在胶质瘤的情况下，神经－免疫调控紊乱，可能起着抑制性调节作用。

Prefrontal modulation of tactile responses in the ventrobasal thalamus of rats

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in modulation of sensory information processing in somatosensory cortex. However, it remains unclear whether or not PFC regulates sensory information in thalamus. In the present study, the effect of PFC stimulation on tactile responses of neurons in the ventrobasal thalamus (VB) of the rat was investigated by single-unit recording. PFC stimulation significantly enhanced the signal-noise ratio (tactile responses/background activities) in 16 out of 66 VB neurons (24.2%) that had receptive fields in fore or hind limbs. Such changes can be classified into three different categories: (1) PFC stimulation not only increased the tactile responses, but also suppressed the background activities of neurons (six neurons, 9.1%); (2) PFC stimulation only increased the tactile responses of neurons (five neurons, 7.6%); (3) PFC stimulation only suppressed the background activities of neurons (five neurons, 7.6%). Our results suggest that PFC also modulates somatosensory information at the thalamic level.

目的研究腺样体肥大患儿血清炎症介质、淋巴细胞亚群表达特征及其与患儿预后的相关性。方法选取浙江中医药大学附属第三医院收治的86例腺样体肥大患儿(观察组)和86例健康儿童(对照组)作为研究对象,采集血液标本测定血清炎症介质及淋巴细胞亚群相关指标,对比两组儿童的测定结果。分析腺样体肥大患儿的肥大程度、腺样体再增生情况,对比不同肥大程度患儿的血清指标,并分析各指标与患儿病情程度及预后(腺样体再增生)的关系。结果观察组患儿肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、可溶性白细胞介素-2受体(sIL-2R)及白细胞介素-6(IL-6)水平分别为(492.44±50.56)mg/L、(420.48±61.79)U/ml及(33.65±4.51)pg/ml,对照组儿童分别为(301.22±41.65)mg/L、(236.55±57.90)U/ml及(16.25±3.27)pg/ml,差异均有统计学意义(t=16.004,P<0.05;t=20.311,P<0.05;t=8.995,P<0.05)。观察组CD4⁺、CD8⁺及CD4⁺/CD8⁺水平分别为(35.75±7.05)、(16.22±2.69)及(1.46±0.67),对照组分别为(34.25±4.53)、(17.62±2.35)及(1.40±0.62),差异均无统计学意义(t=1.036,P>0.05;t=0.905,P>0.05;t=0.823,P>0.05)。相比腺样体中度肥大患儿,重度肥大患儿的TNF-α、sIL-2R、IL-6、CD4⁺及CD4⁺/CD8⁺水平明显更高(P<0.05)。相比未增生患儿,腺样体再增生患儿的TNF-α、sIL-2R、IL-6、CD4⁺及CD4⁺/CD8⁺水平明显更高(P<0.05)。相关分析显示,患儿腺样体肥大程度与TNF-α、sIL-2R、IL-6、CD4⁺及CD4⁺/CD8⁺水平均呈正相关(P<0.05)。患儿腺体再增生与TNF-α、sIL-2R、IL-6、CD4⁺及CD4⁺/CD8⁺水平也呈正相关(P<0.05)。结论腺样体肥大患儿的血清炎症介质及部分T淋巴细胞亚群表达显著升高,其与腺样体肥大程度、患儿预后密切相关。     

贲门失弛缓症的经腹超声诊断

目的：探讨经腹超声诊断贲门失弛缓症的临床应用价值。方法：选择8名贲门失弛缓症患者。疫立10名正常人和8名贲门癌患者作对照,对3组受试者进行经腹超声饮水试验,比较三者的超声表现;并对贲门失弛缓症患者经药物治疗、球囊扩张或肉毒杆菌毒素注射前后的超声表现进行比较。结果：（1）正常人饮水试验前食管腔及贲门口闭合,饮水时贲门迅速开放,水流快速通过。（2）贲门失弛缓症患者饮水试验前食管下段已经扩张;饮水时连续观察10min,贲门始终不弛张、水流不能通过者5例,贲门间断性张开、水流间继通过者3例;饮水试验后30min再检查时见全部患者的食管中仍滞留有水。（3）贲门癌患者饮水前表现为贲门环增大、贲门壁增厚,食管未扩张;饮水时水流通过贲门较缓慢。结论：经超声检查因只需饮水量水而易为患者接受;而且它通过显示贲门环的大小、贲门壁厚度以及饮水时水流通过贲门的状态,而达到迅捷、可靠地诊断贲门失弛缓症,故也是合适的治疗评价手段。
