干性型老年黄斑变性60例随访观察

探刊干性型老年黄斑变性（age-related macular deganeration，AMD)的病变发展特征并 寻找监测AMD病情进展的较敏感指标。 方法：用眼底彩色照相和眼底荧光血管造影(FFA)、明视视网膜电囤(ERG)、FM100-hue 色彩试验及视力检查，对60例(111眼)50~80岁、视力≤1.0的干性型AMD患者进行3～74个月(平均30.2个月)的随访观察。 结果：本组68眼经FFA检查、平均25.6个月随访，其中25%的患眼病灶损害有快慢不一的发展．全部111眼视力在平均30.2个月随访中有18%患眼的视力下降2行以下，且与病灶进展相符，FM100-hue 色彩试验的被随访者中，随访2年以后，其总错误分明显的增加(P<0.01)．63眼的明视ERG在随访过程中无明显变化。 结论：大部分干性AMD患眼的病灶损害和视力可以在较长时间内维持稳定。FM100—hue的总错误分可能为监测AMD病情进展的较敏感指标． （中华眼底病杂志，1997，13：150-152）

Influence of Qingdai Compound Capsule on the expression of c-myc in psoriatic keratinocytes) on the expression of c-myc in psoriatic keratinocytes

In this immunohistochemical study, the authors detected the expression of c-myc in keratinocytes (ECK) from 30 psoriatics before and after Qingdai Compound Capsule (QDCC) treatment and 12 normal subjects for control. The results showed that the ECK of patients before treatment was significantly higher than that in the normal control group, and its level was correlated with histopathological changes of affected skin. After treatment the ECK was normalized. It is believed that QDCC could decrease the ECK in psoriatics and this effect was probably mediated by inhibiting c-myc expression. This study provided an experimental evidence for the application of QDCC in treating psoriasis.     

改良超滤对婴幼儿心脏手术输血的影响

目的　观察改良超滤技术在婴幼儿体外循环心血管手术中对输血及术后出血的影响。方法　 6 0例接受体外循环下心血管手术的先天性心脏病患儿 ,均分为对照组 (不接受任何超滤 )、常规超滤组 (CUF组 )和改良超滤组 (MUF组 )。观察术中库血用量、血浆用量、血球压积的变化及术后2 4h出血量 ,并用SSPS/PC进行统计学处理。结果　MUF组库血用量、血浆用量、术后 2 4h出血量显著低于对照组和CUF组 (P <0 0 1) ,且滤出水量明显多于CUF组 (P <0 0 1)。结论　在婴幼儿心血管手术中 ,改良超滤可有效排出体内水分 ,提高血球压积 ,明显减少输血及术后出血 ,是节约用血的重要手段之一。

一次阿扑吗啡注射对大鼠视觉辨别学习和工作记忆的影响

目的探讨多巴胺受体激动剂 -阿扑吗啡对大鼠视觉辨别学习和工作记忆的影响。方法利用旋转T迷宫装置 ,通过食物强化 ,分别训练大鼠正常和逆反的视觉辨别学习任务。动物达到规定的标准次数后 ,腹腔注射 2mg/kg体重的阿扑吗啡 ,3 0分钟后观察药物对工作记忆的影响。 结果对于正常学习 ,阿扑吗啡注射组动物的正确次数与生理盐水对照组相比无显著性差异 ,且两组动物继续进行逆反学习训练 ,达到学习标准所需的总次数亦无显著性差异 ;对于逆反学习 ,阿扑吗啡注射组动物的正确次数较对照组显著降低。结论单独一次阿扑吗啡注射可能干扰大鼠逆反学习的工作记忆 ,但不影响正常学习的工作记忆和逆反学习的过程。     

Carotid intima-media thickness in Parkinson's disease.

There have been a few studies and inconsistent results regarding the coincidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atherosclerotic diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a known marker for subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the carotid IMT between PD patients and controls. We studied 43 patients with PD and 86 matched controls. The carotid IMT in PD patients was significantly smaller than in controls (0.796 +/- 0.179 mm vs. 0.913 +/- 0.237 mm, P < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, the carotid IMT was inversely associated with the duration of levodopa medication and the severity of PD. These results suggest that PD patients have a lower risk of atherosclerosis.     

Factors Affecting Cardiac Catheterization Rates in Elders with Acute Coronary Syndromes

Background: Elder patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are less likely to receive cardiac catheterization. The reasons for this are unclear.
Objectives: To assess whether elder patients who had a documented history of dementia, lived in extended care facilities, or had do not intubate–do not resuscitate (DNR-DNI) advance directives were less likely to receive cardiac catheterization, despite having ACS with high-risk features.
Methods: This was a medical record review conducted at an urban teaching hospital. DNR-DNI status before hospitalization, extended care facility (nursing home or assisted living) residence, and a previous diagnosis of dementia were obtained from the medical record. Patients 65 years and older who presented to the emergency department with acute myocardial infarction or with unstable angina with ST segment deviation were included. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed, and odds ratios (ORs) were reported with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: Of the 201 eligible patients, 66 (32.8%) patients did not undergo cardiac catheterization. In the univariate analysis, patients who had dementia, resided in extended care facilities, or were DNR-DNI were less likely to receive cardiac catheterization. Only extended care facility residence (OR, 0.18; 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.83) and DNR-DNI status (OR, 0.19; 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.92) remained significantly associated with decreased cardiac catheterization in the multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: Elder patients with ACS residing in extended care facilities or who are DNR-DNI are less likely to receive cardiac catheterization. Future studies concerning the quality of ACS care for elders should take these variables into account.
