1‐(2‐Hydroxyethyl)‐2‐imidazolidinone,a heparanase and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor,improves epidermal basement membrane structure and epidermal barrier function

Daily exposure to sunlight is known to affect the structure and function of the epidermal basement membrane (BM), as well as epidermal differentiation and epidermal barrier function. The aim of this study is to clarify whether the inhibition of BM‐degrading enzymes such as heparanase and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP‐9) can improve the epidermal barrier function of facial skin, which is exposed to the sun on a daily basis. 1‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐2‐imidazolidinone (HEI) was synthesized as an inhibitor of both heparanase and MMP‐9. HEI inhibited not only the BM damage at the DEJ but also epidermal proliferation, differentiation, water contents and transepidermal water loss abnormalities resulting from ultraviolet B (UVB). This was determined in this study by the use of UVB‐induced human cultured skins as compared with the control without HEI. Moreover, topical application of HEI improved epidermal barrier function by increasing water content and decreasing transepidermal water loss in daily sun‐exposed facial skin as compared with non‐treated skins. These results suggest that the inhibition of both heparanase and MMP‐9 is an effective way to care for regularly sun‐exposed facial skin by protecting the BM from damage.

淀粉与丙烯酰胺接枝共聚物性质的研究

研究了小麦淀粉与丙烯酰胺的接枝共聚物的物理特性和结构特征,实验结果表明:该接枝共聚物在热性质上与原淀粉有明显的区别,其糊化温度比原淀粉略低,粘度热稳定性及溶解度较原淀粉均有提高。接枝共聚反应不仅发生在淀粉颗粒的表面上,而且也发生在颗粒结构的内部,但反应仅发生在淀粉的无定型区。     

Hydroxyethyl starch induced acquired von Willebrand's disease

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) (Hespan, DPont) is a widely used synthetic volume expander which in standard doses of up to 1.51 in 24 h has no significant effect on coagulation (Munsch et al. 1988). However, the data sheet states that in large volumes HES may alter the coagulation mechanism. We now report a case of HES induced acquired von Willebrand's disease (vWD) in which severe bleeding occurred.

比较不同分子量羟乙基淀粉对术中血液循环及凝血功能的影响

目的多中心、双盲、平行对照比较术中输注国产6%羟乙基淀粉200/0.5(6%HES200/0.5,盈源)和6%羟乙基淀粉130/0.4(6%HES130/0.4,万汶)对术中血流动力学、血液流变学及凝血功能的影响。方法150例择期手术的患者随机均分为Y组和V组。手术开始后,Y组输注6%HES200/0.51000ml,V组输注6%HES130/0.41000ml。分别于麻醉前(T0)、输注开始时(T1)、输注开始后30min(T2)、60min(T3)、90min(T4)、120min(T5)各时点监测患者血流动力学参数,在麻醉前及输注结束后10min抽血检测凝血功能及血液流变学参数。结果与T0时相比,两组患者T1时MAP均明显下降(P<0.05),V组T4、T5时MAP明显降低(P<0.05);T3时V组HR增快(P<0.05),输液结束后两组凝血酶原时间(PT)及部分凝血酶原时间(APTT)均有所延长(P<0.05),纤维蛋白原下降(FIB)(P<0.05),血小板计数(Plt)减少(P<0.05),但两组组间差异无统计学意义;两组液体均可降低全血高、低切变率(P<0.05),对血浆粘度无明显作用。两组术中输血量及晶体输入量差异无明显统计学意义。结论输入6%HES200/0.5或6%HES130/0.41000ml均可有效维持血流动力学稳定,改善机体微循环,但对凝血功能均有尚可耐受的影响。     

Influence of volume replacement with different HES–solutions on microcirculatory blood flow in cardiac surgery

A variety of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) preparations with different molecular weight average (Mw) and molar substitution (MS) is available for volume replacement during acute normovolemic haemodilution (ANH). Particularly with regard to microcirculation, the ideal solution for volume therapy has not been found. A 5th group without ANH served as a control (10 patients in each group). In addition to systemic haemodynamics and various laboratory parameters, skin capillary blood flow was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry. Laser Doppler flow (LDF) was monitored simultaneously at the patient's forehead and forearm. Changes in systemic haemodynamics were similar in all ANH–patients. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was lowest after infusion of HES 200/0.5. The most pronounced increase in plasma viscosity was in patients of group 1 (450/0.7) (P<0.05) and plasma viscosity remained highest during the entire investigation period in these patients. After ANH, skin capillary blood flow measured at the forehead decreased in all patients except in patients of group 2 (200/0.5: max. + 18%). Group 3 (200/0.62) showed the highest decrease in forehead–LDF. During CPB, forehead–LDF decreased significantly in groups 3 (200/0.62) and 4 (40/0.5). At the end of the operation, LDF was most reduced in groups 1 (– 32%) and 3 (– 33%). Forearm–LDF increased in all ANH–patients. Immediately after ANH this increase was lowest in group 3 (200/0.62). In the further course of the investigation, no more differences were seen in any HES patients. The different HES preparations showed a different microcirculatory response. 6% HES 200/0.5 seems to be overall most suitable for volume replacement in cardiac surgery patients undergoing acute normovolemic haemodilution (ANH) due to the best effects on microcirculatory skin perfusion assessed by laser Doppler flow. HES 6% 200/0.62 showed the overall least positive effects with regard to skin capillary blood flow in this situation.

Retrograde migration of glove powder in the human female genital tract

BACKGROUND: This study in humans was undertaken to evaluate earlier results from animal research showing a retrograde migration of glove powder from the vagina into the intra-abdominal cavity. METHODS: One study group was gynaecologically examined with powdered gloves the day before an abdominal hysterectomy and another group 4 days pre-operatively. There were two control groups similarly examined with powder-free gloves. Cell smears were taken from the peritoneal fluid and during the operation further smears were taken from the Fallopian tubes, uterine cavity and cervical canal. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found for large starch particles at all locations between the study and control groups examined 1 day pre-operatively. Considering small starch particles, there were significant differences in cervix (P < 0.001), uterus (P < 0.01) and the Fallopian tubes (P < 0.01). The combined results also show significant differences between both large and small starch particles in cervix, uterus and the Fallopian tubes. There were also differences between the study and control groups examined 4 days pre-operatively, but these were not statistically significant except for small and large starch particles in uterus (P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and cervix (P < 0.05, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study has pointed out a retrograde migration of starch also in humans after a gynaecological examination with powdered gloves. Consequently, powder or any other potentially harmful substance that can migrate from the vagina should be avoided.
