生命早期抗生素使用与儿童哮喘:因果关系还是混杂效应?

儿童哮喘的发病率逐年上升.基于卫生假说,抗生素使用可能减少了微生物暴露,从而增加了过敏性疾病发生的风险.近十年来,就早期抗生素暴露与儿童哮喘的关系进行的大量的流行病学调查的结果并不一致.大多数回顾性研究发现正相关联系,但前瞻性研究未发现联系或联系强度较弱.逆向因果和指示混淆可部分解释两者的关系,但也难以否定因果关系的存在.     

10对联体双胎分离术后的远期结果

背景／目的：从1978-2000年，有10对联体双胞胎成功接受了手术分离，结果14人存活。其中6对是因为他们的联体同胞死亡或濒临死亡而接受紧急分离手术。剩余的4对，每对至少一个同胞接受至少一次的急诊手术后，才接受联体分离手术。方法：对这一独特的队列进行包含6个项目的问卷调查。问题的设计是开放式的，为父母／家庭提供有关信息的最大机会。对每个家庭就相同的问题也进行了当面的问卷调查。医师询问了与身体健康和疾病相关的一些问题。而社会工作询问了与发育、教育、社会心理和家庭功能相关的问题。结果：前面提及的14人存活的双胞胎中，4人大学毕业，1人于1981年完成中学学业，剩余9人正在上学。14人在最初的手术后，还需要接受再次手术，尤其是需要矫正泌尿系统、畸形、神经外科和小儿外科的问题。结论：通过超声检查对联体双胎进行宫内诊断，可以使医师和胎儿父母在孕早期决定在终止妊娠时是进行双胎分离还是保全其中一个。这些病例报道通过描述14例手术存活的长期体格检查和心理学检查结果，为医师和父母在关键时刻做出决定提供了另外有助的依据。     

皮质发育障碍模型的建立及其致痫敏感性的研究

目的:建立皮质发育障碍模型,探讨皮质发育障碍模型的敏感性。方法:在SD大鼠孕17d腹腔注入1,3-二氯乙烯-亚硝基脲(BCNU)制作皮质发育障碍模型;Nissl染色观察P60d仔鼠病理变化;选取P60d雄性仔鼠,腹腔注射氯化锂-毛果芸香碱,分别比较两组大鼠癫发生的潜伏期、持续状态时间和死亡率。结果:同龄仔鼠脑组织湿重实验组比对照组显著减轻(P<0.01);Nissl染色显示皮质变薄、皮质层次紊乱、海马区域异位细胞异常聚集;有皮质发育障碍的仔鼠注射氯化锂-毛果芸香碱后,癫发生的潜伏期显著缩短(P<0.01),癫持续状态时间延长(P<0.01),死亡率显著升高(P<0.05)。结论:BCNU致皮质发育障碍模型具有癫易感性。     

还原型谷胱甘肽联合甘草酸二铵对腹部开放伤后海水浸泡犬肝功能损伤的治疗作用

Objective To investigate effect of reduced glutathione and diammonium glycyrrhizinate on the treatment of hepatic damage in experimental dogs following open abdominal injuries coupled with seawater immersion. Methods Twenty-four dogs with open abdominal injuries were randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group (given with simple observation after 1.5 h seawater immersion); the routine treatment group (given routine care and fluid transfusion after 1.5 h seawater immersion) ; the hepatic treatment group (given routine are, fluid transfusion and hepatic treatment as well, after 1.5 h seawater immersion). Each group consisted of 8 dogs. Blood samples were taken at different time points to measure total bilirubin (TB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), prothromin time (PT), endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and pathological examination was also made at the same time. Results For the control group, contents of TB, ALT, AST and LDH increased significantly and survival time was less than 24 hours. Contents of TB, ALT, AST and LDH of the routine treatment group also increased significantly, but survival time of all the experimental animals was mere than 24 hours. Reduced glutathione and diammonium glycyrrhizinate could reduce the extent of lesion quite significantly 12～24 hours following open abdominal injuries. Conclusions Reduced glutathione and diammonium glycyrrhizinate seemed to have good effects on the treatment and prevention against hepatic damage induced by trauma coupled with seawater immersion. It could be used as a primary means for the treatment of such kind of hepatic damage.     

血浆血栓素B2和6-酮-前列腺素F1α水平与新生儿窒息关系

为观察不同程度窒息新生儿血浆血栓素B2(TXB2)和6-酮-前列腺素F1α(6-Keto-PGF1α)含量变化及其规律,选择对照组20例,轻度窒息组19例,重度窒息组21例,均在生后6 h内取股静脉血2 ml,进行放射免疫分析.结果TXB2及其与6-Keto-PGF1α比值在对照组分别为(202.42±53.91)pg/ml、1.81±0.61,轻度窒息组分别为(646.29±121.66)pg/ml、3.73±1.27,重度窒息组分别为(1443.27±254.61)pg/ml、6.83±2.39,三组方差分析,组间差异有显著性(F值分别为286.19,49.78,P＜0.001);6-Keto-PGF1α升高,三组分别为(117.22±33.14)Pg/ml、(184.73±52.65)pg/ml、(223.45±63.48)pg/ml(P＜0.05).提示窒息新生儿血浆TXB2和6-Keto-PGF1α含量及两者之比明显升高,重度窒息组比轻度窒息组升高明显;与对照组相比,其升高程度与窒息程度有关.     

Serum bone markers in patients with loosening of cemented total hip endoprosthesis]

Serum levels of bone markers N-mid osteocalcin (OCN-Mid) and Cross-Laps in 20 patients (8 men and 12 women) with loosening of at least one element of total hip endoprosthesis confirmed during operation were compared with age and sex matched group with OA. Marker levels were measured by direct chemoluminescency using Modular E-170. Statistical analysis were done with t-Student test (alpha = 0.05). There were no significant differences in OCN-Mid, Cross-Laps levels and OCN-Mid/Cross-Laps ratio between both groups. Implant loosening is a slow process taking place on a relatively small surface in comparison to whole skeleton, so bone markers have no clinical value in diagnostics of total hip loosening.
