寰枢椎后路柔性固定的生物力学研究

目的分析细棒、PEEK棒固定对寰枢关节稳定性的影响。方法采用6具新鲜成人枕骨(occipital bone,Oc)~颈椎C4节段进行测试,模拟以下手术及固定状态:①完整状态;②损伤状态:枢椎齿状突II型骨折;③坚强固定:寰枢椎均采用普通椎弓根螺钉固定,直径3.5 mm钛棒连接;④PEEK棒:直径3.5 mm的PEEK棒连接;⑤细棒:直径2.0 mm钛棒连接。采用重复测量实验设计,在完整、损伤和不同的固定状态下,通过脊柱试验机对标本分别施加1.5 N·m的前屈/后伸、左/右侧弯和左/右轴向旋转的纯力偶矩。采用Optotrak三维运动测量系统连续采集标本运动,分析寰枢椎之间角度运动范围和中性区。结果采用直径3.5 mm的钛棒,2.0 mm的细棒以及3.5 mm的PEEK棒固定后,在前屈、后伸、侧弯和旋转方向上均显著减小了固定节段的运动范围(P<0.05)。直径3.5 mm和2.0 mm的棒固定后的运动范围,在各个方向上无显著性差异。PEEK棒固定的运动范围仅在侧弯方向上大于坚强固定(P=0.005),其他方向无显著性差异。3种固定方式在屈伸、侧弯和旋转方向上均显著减小了固定节段的中性区(P<0.05)。各种固定方式之间相比较,无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论在寰枢关节采用直径2.0 mm的细棒固定,与坚强固定的稳定性相当。采用直径3.5 mm的PEEK棒固定,在前屈、后伸、旋转方向上与坚强固定的稳定性相当,在侧弯方向上弱于坚强固定。     

华坪县2013-2015年健康人群麻疹抗体水平监测结果分析

目的了解华坪县健康人群麻疹抗体水平,发现工作薄弱地区和免疫空白人群,为实现消除麻疹的目标提供科学依据。方法采用分层抽样方法对华坪县8个乡镇不同年龄段健康人群开展麻疹抗体监测,采用间接酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA间接法)检测血清麻疹Ig G抗体。结果 2013-2015年共检测1 106人,麻疹抗体总阳性率96.47%。其中,阳性率较低的是2014年(93.13%),人群是8~17月龄组(89.22%)。尚有新庄乡(89.92%)、船房乡(93.98%),通达乡(94.86%)3个乡镇麻疹抗体阳性低于95%。有免疫史者人群阳性率较无免疫史者高(χ~2=5.1830,P=0.023),男女性别间无差异。结论华坪县人群麻疹免疫效果较好,但存在免疫薄弱地区和免疫空白人群,应结合该监测结果,加强重点乡镇麻疹疫苗两剂次接种工作和抗体阴性人群的重新免疫接种。     

Direct insertion of an ultra‐slim upper endoscope for cholangioscopy in patients undergoing choledochoduodenostomy

Direct peroral cholangioscopy (POC) using an ultra‐slim upper endoscope is one modality of POC for intraductal endoscopic evaluation and treatment of the bile duct. Choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) is one modality of biliary bypass surgery that provides a new route to the bile duct. We carried out direct POC using an ultra‐slim upper endoscope without the use of accessories in 10 patients (four sump syndromes, three bile duct strictures and three intrahepatic duct stones) previously undergoing surgical CDS. Direct POC was successful in all patients. The use of an intraductal balloon catheter was required in one patient for advancement of the endoscope into the bile duct. Distal bile ducts with sump syndromes were cleared using baskets and water irrigation under direct POC. Cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed in one patient with hilar bile duct stricture after cholangioscopic evaluation and a targeting forceps biopsy under direct POC. Intrahepatic duct stones were successfully extracted after intraductal fragmentation under direct POC. Oozing bleeding occurred during intraductal lithotripsy but stopped spontaneously. Direct POC using an ultra‐slim upper endoscope without the assistance of accessories can easily be carried out in patients undergoing CDS.     

Exosomes from miRNA‐126‐modified endothelial progenitor cells alleviate brain injury and promote functional recovery after stroke

AimsWe previously showed that the protective effects of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)‐released exosomes (EPC‐EXs) on endothelium in diabetes. However, whether EPC‐EXs are protective in diabetic ischemic stroke is unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of EPC‐EXs on diabetic stroke mice and tested whether miR‐126 enriched EPC‐EXs (EPC‐EXs^miR126) have enhanced efficacy.MethodsThe db/db mice subjected to ischemic stroke were intravenously administrated with EPC‐EXs 2 hours after ischemic stroke. The infarct volume, cerebral microvascular density (MVD), cerebral blood flow (CBF), neurological function, angiogenesis and neurogenesis, and levels of cleaved caspase‐3, miR‐126, and VEGFR2 were measured on day 2 and 14.ResultsWe found that (a) injected EPC‐EXs merged with brain endothelial cells, neurons, astrocytes, and microglia in the peri‐infarct area; (b) EPC‐EXs^miR126 were more effective than EPC‐EXs in decreasing infarct size and increasing CBF and MVD, and in promoting angiogenesis and neurogenesis as well as neurological functional recovery; (c) These effects were accompanied with downregulated cleaved caspase‐3 on day 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) upregulation till day 14.ConclusionOur results indicate that enrichment of miR126 enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of EPC‐EXs on diabetic ischemic stroke by attenuating acute injury and promoting neurological function recovery.

电针对缺血性脑卒中大鼠记忆功能及脑内突触囊泡蛋白的影响

观察电针对缺血性脑卒中大鼠记忆功能及脑内突触囊泡蛋白（synaptic vesicular protein，SYN）的影响，探讨其可能的作用机制。方法 选取90 只SD大鼠随机分为模型组、电针组、假手术组，每组各30只。线拴法制作急性大脑中动脉缺血大鼠模型。电针组取“百会”“水沟”“内关”“三阴交”穴位，应用“醒脑开窍”法进行电针，每天电针30 min，连续电针6 d休1 d，7 d为一个疗程，首次电针干预在造模成功24 h后进行。模型组和假手术组不进行电针干预。大鼠分别按7、14、21 d 3个亚组进行运动及记忆功能评分，TTC染色测定脑梗死体积、Western blot检测脑内SYN的蛋白表达。结果 电针组运动功能评分较模型组显著降低（P<0.01），电针组进入隐藏区潜伏期时间较模型组显著缩短（P<0.01），电针组脑梗死率较模型组显著缩小（P<0.01），SYN的蛋白表达电针组较模型组明显增强（P<0.01）。假手术组无神经功能缺损及脑梗死灶，SYN表达最弱。结论 电针干预能减小脑梗死体积，上调脑内SYN的表达，进而促进缺血性脑卒中大鼠的记忆及运动等神经功能的恢复。     

妊娠期高血压疾病早期肾损害的监测进展

妊娠妇女随着孕周的增加,其本身及胎儿代谢产物逐渐增多,加之循环血容量增加,使肾脏总体负荷加重,容易并发肾损害。妊娠期高血压疾病是妊娠期特有的疾病,其病理生理变化为全身小血管痉挛、内皮损伤及局部缺血;肾脏最先受累。严重的肾损害会导致较高的母儿患病率和病死率,而肾脏损害存在无症状阶段,通过筛查才能发现相对早期的肾损害。探索妊娠期高血压疾病早期肾损害敏感性指标,可早发现、早干预,从而减少不良产科结局。
