认知障碍的海马多模态MRI研究进展

认知障碍是一种未达到痴呆程度的疾病,不仅影响患者的日常生活能力,严重者可能发展为痴呆.海马是承载机体认知功能的重要脑区,近年来,MRI技术被广泛地应用于认知障碍患者海马的研究,因此,笔者就认知障碍的海马MRI神经影像的研究现状进行综述,以了解其最新进展.大量研究一致认为海马是认知功能损害的主要受累脑区,尤其海马CA1区,其功能和结构改变可能是认知功能损害的重要神经影像学标志物,相比于结构变化,功能改变对检测认知障碍可能更敏感.     

Effect of Electroacupuncture on Spermatogenesis in Rats with Oligozoospermia of Insufficiency of Shen (Kidney) Essence Syndrome

Objective: To assess the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) on expression of cytoskeletal proteins from Sertoli cells(SCs) and spermatogenesis in rats with oligozoospermia of insufficiency of Shen(Kidney)essence syndrome(OIKES).Methods: Twenty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups using a random number table: control,tripterygium glycosides(TG) treatment,sham and EA groups(n=5 in each group).A rat model of OIKES was established by oral gavage with TG.The EA group was treated with TG and received EA at Shenshu(BL 23) and Zusanli(ST 36) acupoints for 20 min,once daily for 30 days,while the sham group received EA at identical acupoints with skin penetration without stimulation.After 30 days,the ?nal body weight and coef?cients for the testis and epididymis were calculated and sperm parameters were measured.Immunohistochemical analyses were performed to detect expression of vimentin and α-tubulin in SCs and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) immunoreactivity in germ cells.Apoptosis in germ cells was quanti?ed by the transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labeling assay.Results: Compared with the control group,the final body weight and testis/epididymis coefficients of rats in the TG-treated group were not significantly different,but the sperm count and motility were lower(P0.05).Expressions of vimentin and α-tubulin were also signi?cantly weaker(P0.01).The PCNA immunoreactivity of germ cells was decreased(P=0.059),whereas the apoptotic index of germ cells was increased signi?cantly(P0.01).In contrast,EA at BL 23 and ST 36 acupoints signi?cantly improved the ?nal body weight as well as the sperm count,concentration and motility(P0.01 or P0.05).EA increased expression of vimentin and α-tubulin in SCs markedly,and signi?cantly enhanced PCNA immunoreactivity with decreased apoptosis in germ cells(P0.01 or P0.05).Conclusions: EA at BL 23 and ST 36 acupoints has protective effects on spermatogenesis in rats with OIKES.This effect seems to be achieved by attenuating TG-induced disruption of cytoskeletal protein in SCs.     

新型冠状病毒肺炎中医认识初探

新型冠状病毒肺炎中医属"寒湿疫"范畴,以湿邪为病机核心,以肺为病位中心,以脾胃盛衰为疾病进退的关键。治疗与预防调护方面,急性期,卫气同调,宜宣清和化;恢复期,肺脾同治,宜清补轻宣,注重饮食、情志调摄;谨慎使用抗病毒、抗生素、激素及液体疗法。     

沙苑子本草考证

沙苑子为我国常用中药,药用历史悠久。通过查阅本草文献,对沙苑子名称、基原、功效、产地及伪品5个方面进行考证,得知其名称演变大致经过"白蒺藜""沙苑蒺藜""沙苑子"3个阶段;历代本草记载沙苑子基原为扁茎黄芪的干燥成熟种子,古今应用品种基本一致;沙苑子补肾固精功效的记载自宋《本草衍义》起逐渐清晰明确;沙苑子道地产区自宋时起为陕西沙苑,明清时期产地逐渐转到陕西潼关、山西等地,建国后以陕西省为主向北扩散,以陕西潼关为佳;沙苑子建国前有马薸子、色微绿伪品及紫云英子等混伪品,建国后有紫云英、猪屎豆、华黄芪和直立黄芪的种子等混伪品。为沙苑子正本清源,并为其进一步深入开发提供参考。     

培养检验医师队伍的对策探讨

随着现代检验医学的发展,传统医学检验正在向现代化检验医学的转变,急需加强检验与临床的沟通,医师型检验人才应运而生。目前,由于相关的管理体制,人文教育,工作职责不清晰等原因,检验医师队伍发展缓慢,仍存在很多值得改善和探索的地方。因此,我们应督促检验医师队伍,要具备较高的人文精神,掌握扎实的专业知识,参与完善的培训体制,明确工作职责,提高检验医师学习临床知识,掌握和运用医学检验知识,同时加强对临床与检验医学综合运用的能力,向临床医师提供医学检验知识,更好的与临床医生沟通解决临床问题,加强对检验医师的宣传与认识,共同促进检验医师队伍的规范化发展。

Cardiac Denervation for Arrhythmia Treatment with Transesophageal Ultrasonic Strategy in Canine Models

Stellate ganglion (SG) modification has been investigated for arrhythmia treatment. In this study, transesophageal SG imaging and intervention were explored using a homemade 30F integrated focused ultrasonic catheter in healthy mongrel canines in vivo. Anatomic details of SGs were ultrasonically imaged and evaluated. SG had a heterogeneous echoic structure and characteristic profiles sketched by hyper-echoic outlines in an ultrasonogram. Left SGs in the experimental group were successfully ablated through the esophagus under ultrasonic guidance provided by the catheter itself. Two weeks after the ablation, the QT and QTc of the experimental group decreased compared with those of the sham group and at baseline (both p values < 0.001). Histologic examination revealed that left SGs were destroyed. No major complications were observed. This approach may be further explored as a method for ganglia remodeling evaluation and as a strategy of ganglia modification for arrhythmia and for other diseases.     

磁敏感加权成像黑质“燕尾征”在帕金森病中的诊断价值

目的:探讨3.0 T磁敏感加权成像(susceptibility weighted imaging,SWI)中"燕尾征"缺失在帕金森病(Parkinson's dis-ease,PD)的诊断价值并分析黑质小体-1 (nigrosome-1)可视化与PD患者临床资料的相关性.方法:收集2017年9月至2019年11月于重庆医科大学附属第一医院神经内科住院的50例PD患者及年龄、性别与之匹配的57例非PD患者.所有受试者均接受3.0 T头颅SWI检查.在获得的SWI图像上,由2名临床医师采用盲法独立对双侧"燕尾征"进行评估.一侧"燕尾征"缺失即判定为PD.计算"燕尾征"缺失诊断PD的灵敏度、特异度、预测值和准确度,并分析nigrosome-1可视化与PD患者临床资料的相关性.结果:以临床诊断作为金标准,45例PD患者判断正确,评估者之间的一致性很高(k=0.963,P=0.000)."燕尾征"缺失诊断PD的灵敏度为90.0％,特异度为91.2％,阳性预测值为90.0％,阴性预测值为91.2％,准确度为90.7％.44例PD患者临床症状不对称,其中32例患者nigrosome-1可视化不对称.PD患者nigrosome-1可视化偏侧和临床症状偏侧比较差异无统计学意义(x2=5.756,P=0.056).11例PD患者双侧nigrosome-1全部缺失,纳入全部缺失组,其余PD患者为非全部缺失组.全部缺失组和非全部缺失组患者的汉密尔顿抑郁量表评分差异有统计学意义(U=126.500,P=-0.038),而病程、帕金森病统一评定量表第Ⅲ部分、改良Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y)分级、简易智能状态量表和蒙特利尔认知评估量表评分差异均无统计学意义(P=0.768、0.140、0.839、0.054、0.067).结论:"燕尾征"缺失诊断PD的准确率较高,缺失程度可能与PD患者的抑郁程度有关,对PD的诊断有一定参考价值.
