[Ca^2＋]i change in hippocampal neurons influenced by preconditioning of etomidate fat emulsion following cerebral ischemia in rats

BACKGROUND: It is known that intravenous anesthetic etomidate fat emulsion has cerebral protection. Now many scholars focus on the research of its cerebral protection from molecular biology, but the mechanism of cerebral protection is still fully unclear. OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of etomidate fat emulsion on the [Ca2+]i in hippocampal neurons during the transient cerebral ischemia injury in rats. DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation. SETTING: Weifang Medical College. MATERIALS: This study was carried out in the functional laboratory of Weifang Medical College between October 2005 and March 2006. Twenty-four male healthy Wistar rats, aged 3 to 4 months, were involved. Etomidate fat emulsion was provided by the limited company of En-hua Medical Bloc in Jiangsu Province (code of H20020511) and the other agents and materials were provided by Laboratory Center of Weifang Medical College. METHODS: The 24 Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: sham-operation group, model group and etomidate preconditioning group, with 8 rats in each. Rat models of transient cerebral ischemia injury were made by the ligation of bilateral carotid arteries combined with descending blood pressure in the latter two groups. Before ischemia (ligation of bilateral common carotid artery), rats in the etomidate preconditioning group were intraperitoneally injected with 12 mg/kg etomidate fat emulsion and then persistently intraperitoneally injected with etomidate fat emulsion at 1.0 mg/kg per minute. Rats in the model group were not administrated. Rats in the sham-operation group were only performed bilateral common carotid artery isolation. When rats were modeled, their brain tissues were quickly taken out and detected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Change of the fluorescence pixel value of the [Ca2+]i in each group by the laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS: Twenty-four rats were involved in the final analysis. Fluorescence pixel value in the sham-operation group was in the low level. Fluorescence pixel value in the model group was significantly higher than that in the sham-operation group (P < 0.01). Fluorescence pixel value in the etomidate preconditioning group was significantly lower than that in the model group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The protection of etomidate fat emulsion to the transient cerebral ischemic injury in rats is associated with the inhibition to the increase of [Ca2+]i to some extent.

间接免疫荧光法检测婴幼儿急性下呼吸道合胞病毒感染的特异性IgM

本文对1984年1～3月和1985年3～8月共107例急性下呼吸道感染的住院患儿,采用间接免疫荧光法检测其急性期血清抗RSV特异性IgM抗体,并与病毒分离和/或中和试验比较,敏感性为82.1％,特异性为71.8％。RSV感染患儿发病后3天内大多数病例即可从血清中检测出RSV-IgM,因此该法具有早期诊断价值。     

经阴道超声及宫腔造影对鉴别子宫内膜息肉与其他病变的意义

目的分析子宫内膜病变的声像图和血流特征,并评价经阴道彩色多普勒超声宫腔造影对子宫内膜息肉的诊断价值。方法采用经阴道彩色多普勒加宫腔造影,分别对19例子宫内膜息肉和32例子宫内膜其他病变之声像图、彩色血流及频谱表现进行对比,全部病例经宫腔镜及手术后的病理证实。结果经阴道彩色多普勒超声检诊子宫内膜息肉,清晰显示了内膜与黏膜下肌层之界限和息肉的病变边界,还显示了息肉蒂基底的彩色血流或黏膜下肌瘤周边彩色血流环,适时加做宫腔造影则更有益于对细小病变的诊断。结论经阴道彩色多普勒超声加做宫腔造影可大大提高对子宫内膜息肉与子宫内膜其他病的鉴别诊断水平。

目的介绍一种发生于玻璃体切除术后的非感染性前房积脓现象，即假性前房积脓。方法收集我中心收治的需行玻璃体切除术的连续病例１２５０例，其中各种原因引起的玻璃体积血４１８例。术后发生假性前房积脓者７例，均为玻璃体积血者。主要治疗方法是前房冲洗及其自然吸收。结果假性前房积脓发生于术后３～５天，呈泥沙样沉积，局部抗生素及激素加强治疗无效。眼内穿刺行涂片、细菌和真菌培养未发现病原体。患者无疼痛等自觉症状及刺激征。随访时３例视力在０．０５以上。结论玻璃体积血行玻璃体切除术后可能出现假性前房积脓，须与眼内感染相鉴别。     

蓖麻油引产餐对妊娠大鼠分娩的影响

目的蓖麻油引产餐用于妊娠晚期引产效果明显，但其作用机制不清楚。本研究通过引产餐灌服妊娠大鼠建立动物引产模型，以期了解引产餐对妊娠大鼠分娩启动和产程的影响，并初步探讨蓖麻油引产餐活性成份。方法于大鼠妊娠第１８～２０天灌服引产餐，观察大鼠分娩启动和分娩产程变化。利用高压液相分析蓖麻油和蓖麻油引产餐中脂肪酸成份。结果引产餐可提前妊娠大鼠分娩启动时间，缩短分娩产程。蓖麻油引产餐和蓖麻油两者脂肪酸对比结果显示，成份相同，蓖麻酸均占９０％，未见花生四烯酸成份。结论引产餐对妊娠晚期大鼠具有引产、催产作用，可以利用引产餐灌服妊娠大鼠建立动物引产模型。推测蓖麻酸是引产餐启动分娩和缩短产程的活性物质。

Apolipoprotein E—associated risk for Alzheimer's disease in the African-American population is genotype dependent

As a part of our ongoing study on Alzheimer's disease (AD) in elderly African Americans, we obtained clinical assessment and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype data on 288 individuals (including 60 with AD). The ApoE σ4 allele frequency was significantly increased in AD patients compared with controls. The age-adjusted odds ratio (OR) for AD in σ4 homozygotes was 4.83 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.71–13.64) compared with the σ3/σ3 genotype, but the OR for AD with the σ3/σ4 genotype did not reach significance (1.20; 95% CI, 0.58–2.45). These findings suggest that the association between ApoE σ4 and AD is weaker in African Americans than in whites.
