Update on sports imaging

Sports Imaging has dramatically increased in the past decade with increasing number of adolescents, young and middle-aged adults participating in non-competitive/hobby sports. Therefore, sports injuries are no longer confined to elite athletes. Furthermore, newer forms of sports such as mountain climbing, pickle ball and curling etc. are gaining popularity. Majority of the injuries in sports medicine are from musculoskeletal trauma. Therefore, it is imperative that the musculoskeletal radiologist becomes familiar with various sports related injury patterns as these are commonly encountered in daily practice. This update aims to briefly encapsulate the major aspects of sports imaging. It includes the imaging manifestations of various types of musculoskeletal injuries on different modalities (commonly US and MRI) and briefly mentions the various image guided interventions, performed both on the sports field and in the hospital setting.     

As2O3处理前后K562细胞基因表达变化的基因芯片检测

目的应用基因芯片研究三氧化二砷(As2O3)处理前后K562细胞基因表达的变化.方法提取As2O3处理前后K562细胞的总RNA,纯化为mRNA后再反转录为cDNA.cDNA经限制性内切酶Sau3AI切割后,cDNA片段分别用Cy3和Cy5标记,与自制的包含348个基因片段的胎盘库芯片杂交.结果杂交结果经扫描和软件分析,发现了11个差异表达的基因片段,其中有3个基因片段与细胞凋亡密切相关.结论我们构建的胎盘库基因芯片可以成功地用于研究药物作用前后基因表达的变化.     

谷胱甘肽、自由基在砷剂诱导卵巢癌细胞凋亡中的作用

目的　观察谷胱甘肽、自由基在砷剂诱导卵巢癌细胞凋亡中的作用。方法　砷剂孵育卵巢癌细胞 4 8h后 ,琼脂糖凝胶电泳及流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡 ,分光光度法检测细胞内谷胱甘肽、活性氧及丙二醛含量。结果　砷剂具有诱导卵巢癌细胞凋亡作用 ,砷剂诱导后细胞内谷胱甘肽含量减少 (P <0 .0 1)、活性氧及丙二醛含量增加(P <0 .0 5 )。结论　氧化还原系统的改变是砷剂诱导卵巢癌细胞凋亡的重要途径之一。     

As_2O_3诱导人肝癌细胞凋亡及对Fas表达和钙含量的影响

化疗在原发性肝癌的综合治疗中占重要地位.为寻找肝癌治疗新的有效药物,我们观察了As2O3对人肝癌细胞株BEL7402的生物学效应,以期为As2O3临床治疗肝癌提供实验依据.     

Arsenical necrosis of the jaws

After a brief historical review of the use of arsenic in dental practice two cases of arsenical necrosis of the jaws, affecting the maxilla and mandible respectively, are reported. Both patients were treated conservatively over an extended period with excellent results. It is concluded that there is no justification, whatsoever, for the use of arsenic in modern dental practice and that, although prolonged, conservative treatment of chemical necrosis of the jaws is preferable to more radical treatment.     

首次自杀未遂者和重复自杀未遂者的对照研究

目的探讨首次自杀未遂者和重复自杀未遂者的区别.方法检查126名因自杀未遂而入院的患者,分为首次自杀未遂组和重复自杀未遂组,获得有关的临床资料并进行自杀意图及自杀企图冲动性和致死性的测定,将有关项目作对比分析.结果有51(40.5%)名重复自杀未遂者,与首次自杀未遂者比较,重复自杀未遂者已婚居多、文化程度较低、缺乏固定的经济收入、有较多的既往精神科治疗史、常饮酒、企图自杀前与他人交流少,自杀意图较低,冲动性较高(P均＜0.05).结论对伴有某些危险因素的自杀未遂者应积极进行医学干预,以期减少自杀行为的再次发生.     

Assessment of exposure to arsenic among smelter workers: A five-year follow-up

In a group of 43 smelter workers exposed to inorganic arsenic dust for 13-45 years, nerve conduction velocities (NCVs) were significantly lower in two peripheral nerves as compared with matching referents. With multivariate data analysis, a significant negative correlation was found between cumulative absorption of arsenic and NCV in four examined nerves and the sural amplitude. Clinical symptoms of neuropathy and other symptoms related to arsenic exposure were moderate, though the difference between the groups was significant. The mean total absorption of arsenic was calculated to be less than 5 g, and the maximal absorption about 20 g. These data indicate that the adverse effect of arsenic on the peripheral nerves is dependent on long-term exposure rather than on short-term fluctuations in exposure levels. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

口服二巯基丁二酸治疗狗路易氏剂中毒

为证实口服二巯基丁二酸（ＤＭＳＡ）治疗路易氏剂中毒的效价，以狗为实验动物，进行实验治疗研究，狗口服ＤＭＳＡ（４０～１２０ｍｇ／ｋｇ）后，２周内未见到有关的生理，生化指标明显变化，该药毒性较小。ＤＭＳＡ可在肠道内较好地被吸收，与静脉注射途径比较，口服组血药浓度上升慢，下降亦慢，可在体内维持较长时间，ＤＭＳＡ在体内促排砷的作用与静脉注射同剂量ＤＭＳＡ（钠盐）相当。狗口服ＤＭＳＡ４０ｍｇ／ｋｇ可对抗路易
