强心通脉灵对大鼠急性心肌梗死后心室重构的影响

目的探讨强心通脉灵对急性心肌梗死(AMI)大鼠心室重构(VR)的干预机制。方法选择Wistar大鼠85只,随机分为强心通脉灵大剂量组(QXLmax组)12只、强心通脉灵小剂量组(QXLmin组)14只、卡托普利组11只、模型组15只和假手术组13只,采取冠状动脉结扎造成AMI模型,术后均予口服给药治疗,模型组及假手术组予以相应的生理盐水。4周后处死,放射免疫法测血浆血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)含量,计算左心室质量指数,光镜下观察心尖组织病理形态学改变,采用ABC染色测TGF-β1的表达量。结果模型组及各给药组AngⅡ水平较高,各给药组较模型组有下降趋势,其中QXLmax组较卡托普利组及QXLmin组更低。模型组及各给药组SOD水平较假手术组降低,QXLmax组及QXLmin组较模型组有升高趋势,左心室质量指数模型组较假手术组显著升高,各给药组较假手术组有升高趋势,QXLmax组较QXLmin组及卡托普利组低。卡托普利组及QXLmin组健存心肌细胞周围胶原组织明显减少,QXLmax组病理改变最轻,偶有少量胶原纤维增生。TGF-β1表达QXLmax组较QXLmin组及卡托普利组低(P<0.01)。结论强心通脉灵可降低AMI后大鼠血浆AngⅡ水平,增加SOD活性,降低左心室质量指数及心肌组织TGF-β1表达,从而平稳AMI后VR的进程。

Comparing histological data from different brains: Sources of error and strategies for minimizing them

The recent development of brain atlases with computer graphics templates, and of huge databases of neurohistochemical data on the internet, has forced a systematic re-examination of errors associated with comparing histological features between adjacent sections of the same brain, between brains treated in the same way, and between brains from groups treated in different ways. The long-term goal is to compare as accurately as possible a broad array of data from experimental brains within the framework of reference atlases. Main sources of error, each of which ideally should be measured and minimized, include intrinsic biological variation, linear and nonlinear distortion of histological sections, plane of section differences between each brain, section alignment problems, and sampling errors. These variables are discussed, along with approaches to error estimation and minimization in terms of a specific example—the distribution of neuroendocrine neurons in the rat paraventricular nucleus. Based on the strategy developed here, the main conclusion is that the best long-term solution is a high-resolution 3D computer graphics model of the brain that can be sliced in any plane and used as the framework for quantitative neuroanatomy, databases, knowledge management systems, and structure–function modeling. However, any approach to the automatic annotation of neuroanatomical data—relating its spatial distribution to a reference atlas—should deal systematically with these sources of error, which reduce localization reliability.     

Biophysical foundations underlying TMS: Setting the stage for an effective use of neurostimulation in the cognitive neurosciences

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) induces electrical currents in the brain to stimulate neural tissue. This article reviews our present understanding of TMS methodology, focusing on its biophysical foundations. We concentrate on how the laws of electromagnetic induction apply to TMS; addressing issues such as the location, area (i.e., focality), depth, and mechanism of TMS. We also present a review of the present limitations and future potential of the technique.     

空腹血糖——急性心肌梗死患者早期死亡的独立预测因子

目的研究急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者空腹血糖的预后价值。方法本研究入选257例无糖尿病病史AMI患者。测量患者入院时血糖(AG)和禁食至少8h后的血糖(FG)。随访患者30d,分析AG和FG与患者预后之间的关系。结果共24(9.3%)例无糖尿病病史患者在AMI后30d内死亡。FG正常组死亡2例(1.5%),FG升高者的第一、第二、第三个三分位数组分别死亡4例(9.8%)、5例(12.2%)、13例(31%)。和FG正常组患者相比,校正后的30d死亡的相对危险比(OR)随FG三分位数的增加而增加,第一、第二和第三个三分位数组分别为:2.5(95%CI,0.71～8.5;P=0.011),8.6(95%CI,3.2～23.5;P=0.0005),12.7(95%CI,4.5～36.4;P<0.0003)。同FG和AG都正常的患者相比,AG升高FG正常预测患者30d死亡的OR为0.69(95%CI,0.25～3.80;P=0.59);AG正常FG升高者为3.6(95%CI,2.1～11.5;P=0.04);FG和AG都升高者为10.6(95%CI,4.3～25.6;P<0.0001)。镶嵌模型的比较显示AG并不能增加FG模型预测30d死亡(2=5.2,3df,P=0.20)或预测30d死亡和心力衰竭(2=4.8,3df,P=0.31)的价值。相反,FG却能增加AG模型预测30d死亡(2=24.5,3df,P=0.0001)或预测30d死亡和心力衰竭(2=24.7,3df,P=0.0001)的价值。结论无糖尿病病史AMI患者30d死亡率随AG和FG浓度的增加而增加,FG比AG的预测价值更大。     

肥胖类型与脑卒中亚型的相关性研究

目的探讨肥胖类型与脑卒中亚型的相关性。方法将573例急性脑卒中患者分为脑出血组126例,脑梗死组447例,脑梗死组再分为脑血栓形成组(215例)和腔隙性脑梗死组(232例),另外选择277例无脑卒中者为对照组。测量腰围、臀围和体重,计算体重指数和腰臀比(WHR),分析肥胖参数与脑卒中各亚组的关系。结果脑卒中各亚组与对照组肥胖发生率差异无显著性意义(P>0.05);各组WHR明显大于对照组(P<0.05)。WHR增大明显增加脑卒中各亚组的危险性(P<0.05);女性腹围增大患腔隙性脑梗死危险性升高(P<0.05);男性体重增加患脑出血的危险性升高(P<0.01)。结论腹型肥胖是脑出血、脑血栓形成和腔隙性脑梗死的危险因素之一。
