高血压患者左室舒张功能与左室肥厚的关系及随龄改变

为探讨原发性高血压 (以下简称高血压 )患者的左室舒张功能和左室肥厚的关系及其随龄改变 ,抽取 1995年 2月至 2 0 0 2年 7月间门诊高血压患者 4 81例为高血压组 ,以同期体检健康者 2 54 3例为对照组 ,年龄 10～ 80岁 ,并将原发性高血压患者分为 3级 ,每级中按性别分 2组。采用惠普 2 50 0彩色多普勒超声诊断系统检测 2组的室间隔厚度、左室后壁厚度、E/A等指标。使用SPSS软件进行统计学处理分析。结果 :高血压和正常对照组相比E/A显著下降 ,室间隔和左室后壁显著增厚 (P <0 .0 1)。 2个组的E/A均随年龄下降 ,而室间隔厚度随年龄增厚 ,且室间隔厚度和E/A呈显著负偏相关 (P <0 .0 1)。在高血压分级组中 ,Ⅰ～Ⅲ级高血压组中男性的室间隔厚度均厚于女性 (均P <0 .0 1) ,Ⅰ、Ⅱ级高血压组中男性的左室后壁厚度厚于女性 (P <0 .0 5,P <0 .0 1) ,Ⅰ级高血压组中女性的E/A低于男性 (P <0 .0 5)。提示 :左室舒张功能随着年龄的增加而降低 ,而且和高血压左室肥厚呈负偏相关关系 ,性别对其也有一定的影响     

Vasopressin stimulation of NaCl transport in the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop is decreased in aging mice

The maximal urinary osmolality that can be reached by the kidney is reduced with age. This may be due to impaired NaCl transport by the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, which is part of the renal concentrating mechanism and is modulated by antidiuretic hormone (ADH). We therefore tested in vitro a possible age-related change in the transport capacity and in the response of this nephron segment to ADH in young (1–2 months) and old (20–24 months) mice. The transepithelial potential difference (V _te) was significantly higher in young mice (+8.5±0.4 mV, n=13) than in old ones (+6.6±0.5 mV, n=17). Addition of 0.1 nmol.l^–1 ADH to the bath solution significantly increased V _te by 5.2±0.5 mV in the young and by 3.1±0.6 mV in the old animals. Application of dibutyryl-cAMP (0.1 mmol.1^–1) did not further increase the hormonal response in both groups. The ADH-mediated increase in the corresponding equivalent short-circuit current (I _SC = V _te/R_te) was twice as great in young mice as in old, indicating that the stimulation of NaCl transport by ADH across the medullary thick ascending limb is significantly reduced with age. These results suggest that the previously reported age-related defect in the urinary concentrating ability of the kidney is partly due to a decreased response of the medullary thick ascending limb to ADH.     

橡胶木粉填充LLDPE复合材料的结构和力学性能

用橡胶木粉填充线性低密度聚乙烯(LLDPE)，研究了酸、碱溶液预处理木粉的效果和硅烷偶联荆(KH-570)、MMA接枝的天然橡胶胶乳(MGL-30)两种改性剂对橡胶木粉表面改性的效果，以及未粉粒径和填充量等对木粉／LLDPE复合材料力学性能的影响，并用SEM对复合材料拉伸断面的形态结构进行了分析。结果表明：木粉的拉径、木粉填充量和改性荆用量对复合材料的力学性能有较大的影响，经碱溶液预处理再用改性荆改性后的木粉能有效地改善木粉与LLDPE的界面粘结强度，提高橡胶木粉／LLDPE复合材料的力学性能。     

LDPE／CPE／炭黑三相复合导电体系的电学性能

研究了ＬＤＰＥ／ＣＰＥ／炭黑三相复合导电体系的导性能和电流－电压特性。实验结果表明复合体系具有明显的导电渗滤效应，在共混比ＬＤＰＥ／ＣＰＥ＞５０／５０时，导电性能随ＣＰＥ含量增加而显著提高，这主要是由于炭黑粒子在ＬＤＰＥ和ＣＰＥ两组分分中的分布不均匀性所致。     

Thick malignant melanomas (> 3 mm Breslow) with good clinical outcome: a histological study and survival analysis

Thick malignant melanomas in general tend to have a poor prognosis, but exceptions occur where there may be no further recurrence. The reasons for this difference in clinical behaviour are not fully understood. We have looked at thick malignant melanomas (greater than 3.0 mm) in the East of Scotland that have no evidence of metastasis after a minimum of 6 years follow-up and compared the clinical and histological features with a similar group, associated with histological evidence of metastasis and/or death. Both groups received similar treatment regimes. We have identified 41 patients with thick melanomas in the former group. When compared with the control group, factors found to be significantly different between the two groups were: the nature of the lower margin of the tumour; vascular invasion; and anatomical location.

C/C复合材料表面等离子喷涂HA涂层在SBF中的试验

目的 探讨不同模拟体液对HA涂层体外生物学行为的影响。方法采用等离子体喷涂法,在碳／碳复合材料表面制备HA涂层,并对涂层进行了热处理。利用X射线衍射仪(X-ray diffraction)、扫描电子显微镜(Scanning electron microscopy)等检测手段,分析该涂层的物相和形貌,观察HA涂层在模拟体液中的影响。结果XRD检测结果表明,在模拟体液浸泡过程中,涂层的主要组成相的相对含量和结晶度不断发生变化。由SEM分析结果可知,在浸泡过程中,内送粉方式下制得的HA涂层的表面沉积物呈现近似网状的结构。同时,在Ringer溶液中,可以观察到HA涂层溶解痕迹。结论通过适当的热处理可以恢复HA的结构完整性,同时提高涂层的结晶度。     

Effects of parathyroid hormone and calcitonin on Na+, Cl−, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ transport in cortical and medullary thick ascending limbs of mouse kidney

The effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on transepithelial Na⁺, Cl^–, K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ transport was investigated in isolated perfused cortical thick ascending limbs (cTAL) and that of human calcitonin (hCT) was tested in both cortical and medullary thick ascending limbs (mTAL) of the mouse nephron. The transepithelial ion net fluxes (J _x) were determined by electron probe analysis of the perfused and collected fluids. Simultaneously, the transepithelial voltage (PD_te) and resistance (R _te) were recorded. In cTAL segments, PTH and hCT significantly stimulated the reabsorption of Na⁺, Cl^–, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺. hCT generated a net K⁺ secretion towards the lumen and PTH tended to exert the same effect. Neither PD_te nor R _te were significantly altered by either PTH or hCT. However, in the post-experimental period a significant decrease in PD_te was noted. Time control experiments carried out under similar conditions revealed a significant decrease in PD_te with time, which could have masked the hormonal response. In mTAL segments, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ transport was close to zero. hCT did not exert any detectable effect on either PD_te or J _Cl ^–, J _Na ⁺ J _K ⁺, J _Mg ²⁺ and J _Ca ²⁺ in these segments. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that PTH and hCT stimulate NaCl reabsorption as well as Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ reabsorption in the cTAL segment of the mouse. These data are in agreement with and extend data obtained in vivo in the rat.
