雾化吸入对新生儿肺炎患儿血氧饱和度的影响

采用动脉血氧饱和度仪对５２例新生儿肺炎患儿，在雾化吸入治疗过程中的动脉血氧饱和度（ＳａＯ２）进行了监测，对比了吸氧与否对ＳａＯ２改变的影响。结查表明：与基础值比较，雾化吸入时患儿的ＳａＯ２显著下降（Ｐ＜０．０１），而雾化吸入同时吸氧者ＳａＯ２无明显变化（Ｐ＞０．０５），但两者比较具有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结果提示雾化吸入可使新生儿肺炎患儿ＳａＯ２下降；同时吸氧，对防止ＳａＯ２的下降有一定作用。

Region-specific growth properties and trophic requirements of brain- and spinal cord-derived rat embryonic neural precursor cells

To determine whether neural precursor cells have region-specific growth properties, we compared the proliferation, mitogenicity, and differentiation of these cells isolated from the embryonic day 16 rat forebrain and spinal cord. Neural precursor cells isolated from both regions were cultured in growth medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, or epidermal growth factor+basic fibroblast growth factor. Under all three conditions, both neural precursor cell populations proliferated for multiple passages. While spinal cord-derived neural precursor cells proliferated moderately faster in epidermal growth factor-enriched growth medium, brain-derived cells proliferated much faster in basic fibroblast growth factor-enriched growth medium. When exposed to both epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor, the two neural precursor cell populations expanded and proliferated more rapidly than when exposed to a single factor, with brain-derived neural precursor cells expanding significantly faster than spinal cord-derived ones (P<0.0001). Differentiation studies showed that both neural precursor cell populations were multi-potent giving rise to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. However, neuronal differentiation from brain-derived neural precursor cells was greater than spinal cord-derived ones (11.95+/-5.00% vs 1.92+/-1.13%; passage 2). Further, the two neural precursor cell populations differentiated into a similar percentage of oligodendrocytes (brain: 8.66+/-5.85%; spinal cord: 7.69+/-3.91%; passage 2). Immunofluorescence and Western blot studies showed that neural precursor cells derived from both regions expressed receptors for basic fibroblast growth factor and epidermal growth factor. However, brain-derived neural precursor cells expressed higher levels of the two receptors than spinal cord-derived ones in growth medium containing epidermal growth factor+basic fibroblast growth factor. Thus, our results showed that neural precursor cells isolated from the two regions of the CNS have distinct properties and growth requirements. Identifying phenotypic differences between these neural precursor cell populations and their growth requirements should provide new insights into the development of cell therapies for region-specific neurological degenerative diseases.     

Evaluation and selection of candidates for renal transplantation at the Clinical Hospital Center in Rijeka

On December 31, 2001, 2486 patients with terminal renal failure received dialysis treatment in Croatia. Only one third of the patients are registered on the national waiting list for cadaveric kidney transplant. In most of the others, transplantation is impossible because of comorbidity. This is mainly due to the steadily growing age of the dialytic population and therefore a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Still, evaluation of the potential recipients of cadaveric kidney transplant, registered on the waiting list, often reveals contraindications for transplantation. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and type of contraindications in transplant candidates, found during immediate preoperative evaluation. Analysis of these data should help in determining how contraindications can be early detected and prevented. Before registering onto the national waiting list transplant candidates need to be thoroughly investigated including detailed history, physical examination, routine diagnostic procedures and additional examinations, if needed, to exclude or evaluate the possibly existing contraindications for transplantation. During the period from January 1997 until June 2002, 145 potential recipients from the national waiting list were referred to the Rijeka University Hospital Center and evaluated for kidney transplantation. Eighty-eight patients underwent transplantation. Preoperative evaluation revealed contraindications for transplantation in 52 (35.9%) candidates. Twenty-two (15.2%) patients had a positive cross-match with donor lymphocytes, 6 (4.1%) patients refused transplantation, and in 24 (16.6%) patients serious comorbidity was the reason for not being accepted for transplantation and for their withdrawal from the national waiting list. Comorbidity was mainly due to cardiovascular disease (12 patients--8.3%) and infection (8 patients--5.5%). These data show a high incidence of contraindications found during the immediate preoperative evaluation of potential kidney recipients. It was the case in more than one third of patients. During the evaluation of potential candidates for kidney transplantation special attention should be addressed to the presence of cardiovascular morbidity and infection. Peripheral vascular occlusive disease, cardiac status and/or cerebrovascular disease should be evaluated. Measures used to treat or reduce the development of complications include an optimal control of blood pressure, serum phosphate, hyperparathyroidism, dyslipidemia, and renal anemia. The sites of infection must be treated and eradicated, because immunosuppressive treatment is a threat to the transplant recipient's life. The second most common cause of refusal of potential candidates was a positive cross-match with donor lymphocytes. Sensitization to human leukocyte antigens can be prevented by the avoiding of blood transfusions and use of erythopoietin in treating renal anemia. To minimize the morbidity and mortality, the potential kidney recipients should undergo rigorous selection and thorough evaluation before including them into the waiting list for kidney transplantation. Afterwards, regular examinations are obligatory to reveal contraindications, proceed to medical interventions and treat concomitant diseases in time, which can influence the patient's survival. In case that contraindications for transplantation arise, the patient must be temporarily or definitely removed from the waiting list.
