不明原因发热的临床综合诊断

不明原因发热是临床常见疑难疾病,其定义随着疾病种类的不断变化及诊断流程的进步而逐步完善。不明原因发热(feverof unknown origin,FUO)病因包括感染性疾病、风湿免疫性疾病及肿瘤性疾病三大类,三大病因各自具有不同临床特征。详细病史采集、全面体格检查及常规实验室检查对诊断FUO至关重要,必要时应及时进行相关影像学及病理学检查,疾病的最终诊断应综合分析病史及实验室检查。     

胎盘早剥86 例的临床表征与病因分析

目的:分析胎盘早剥漏诊、误诊原因,提高早期确诊率,降低母儿并发症。方法:回顾性分析我院10年内胎盘早剥患者的临床资料,分析比较胎盘早剥漏诊与误诊原因。结果:过去十年内我院共检测出胎盘早剥86例,发生率为0.46%,该类孕妇临床表现主要为腰腹胀或腹痛、阴道流血、血性羊水。其中,急诊入院患者占(61.6%),有明确诱因39例,占45.3%,且以妊娠期高血压疾病、胎膜早破、外伤性因素为主。B超检出率62.8%。轻型胎盘早剥45例(52.3%),重型胎盘早剥41例(47.7%),出现症状到就诊及处理时间重型胎盘早剥均长于轻型胎盘组P<0.01。剖宫产分娩60例(69.8%),阴道分娩26例(30.2%)。结论:临床发病到临床处理时间是影响胎盘早剥轻重程度的重要因素;胎盘早剥临床表现易与早产、先兆临产或胎儿窘迫等混淆;后壁胎盘发生胎盘早剥时,超声容易漏诊。     

腱鞘巨细胞瘤的影像学诊断

裸鼠巴斯德氏菌病的诊断

目的对某实验动物中心裸鼠发病死亡的原因进行诊断。方法对发病裸鼠进行病理组织学和细菌学检查以及血清学试验。结果根据临床症状、病理剖检、细菌分离培养、生化鉴定和血清凝集试验,确诊为嗜肺巴斯德氏菌感染导致的细菌性疾病。药敏试验结果表明,分离菌株对阿莫西林／克拉维酸、阿奇霉素、复方新诺明敏感,而对红霉素已经产生耐药性。结论为巴斯德氏菌病原鉴定与疾病诊断提供了科学依据。     

64层螺旋CT对胸部创伤的诊断价值

目的:评价64层螺旋CT相对于CR片在胸部创伤诊断中的价值。方法:我院2006年1月～2008年3月收治81例胸部创伤,全部患者在伤后10min至5h进行了64层螺旋CT检查,其中58例在初次检查后12～38h内进行了CR或床旁CR检查,CT扫描采用GE LightSpeed 64层螺旋CT机,层厚0.625 mm,螺距为0.984:1。结果:81例中诊断肋骨骨折72例,肺挫裂伤65例,气胸36例,血胸53例,血气胸31例,锁骨骨折12例,肩胛骨骨折13例,皮下及纵隔积气18例,右横膈破裂2例。在同时进行过CR检查的患者中,非错位性及撕脱性肋骨、肋软骨骨折在CR上常显示不佳,而在64层螺旋CT多平面或三维重建图像上显示非常清晰。结论:64层螺旋CT多平面及三维重建对胸部创伤各种病变的检测明显优于x线平片,对临床急救计划的制定有重要的指导意义。     

产前胎儿磁共振成像的临床应用及研究进展

出生缺陷已经成为影响我国人口素质的重要卫生问题,产前诊断是减少患儿出生缺陷的有效预防手段和措施。作为产前超声诊断重要补充的手段,胎儿MRI检查具有多方位、多参数、高质量、大视野成像的特点。尤其在中枢神经系统方面具有US无法比拟的优势,随着宫内治疗技术的开展和提高,其潜在的价值和应用前景越来越明显。近年来,随着各种快速MR成像方法的应用,胎儿MRI研究有了很大进步,不仅能有效地评估胎儿的正常解剖、发育变异及病理改变,而且功能MRI也正积极尝试用于胎儿正常发育及疾病的研究中。正硝地解释胎儿MRI的影像学表现仍是今后一段时间内胎儿MRI研究的方向。客观地认识MRI在产前检查中的优势与劣势、合理地应用不同的成像序列,有利于更准确地检出病变。     

Detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in respiratory samples using an immunochromatographic membrane test

The immunochromatographic membrane test (ICT) efficacy of Legionella antigen detection (Binax Now Legionella®) was evaluated using respiratory samples, including bronchial washings (44 cases) and sputum (128 cases), from suspected Legionella pneumonia patients. The ICT results using respiratory samples agreed well with isolation of L. pneumophila SG1 and ICT using urines.     

Outer arm fucosylation of N-glycans increases in sera of hepatocellular carcinoma patients

Serum glycans are promising markers for early-stage cancer detection, but the research remains challenging because low concentrations of serum glycoproteins are secreted from early-stage tumors. We have established an N-glycan profiling method using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry with high sensitive derivative, trimethyl(4-aminophenyl)ammonium chloride (TMAPA). The mass sensitivity of TMAPA-labeled oligosaccharides was enhanced more than 50 times compared with 2-aminopyridine (PA) labeled oligosaccharides, and the analytical period was significantly shortened compared with traditional HPLC 2D-mapping. Using this method, we found about 28 major N-linked oligosaccharides in human sera, and we investigated their alterations in patients who developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We found that outer arm fucosylation (attached GlcNAc via an alpha 1-3/4 linkage) in highly branched oligosaccharides increased significantly in sera of HCC patients. Normalizing the level of outer arm fucosylation by taking into account platelet concentration allowed us to distinguish more clearly between HCC and LC patients.     

Nanomechanics of Drug-target Interactions and Antibacterial Resistance Detection

The cantilever sensor, which acts as a transducer of reactions between model bacterial cell wall matrix immobilized on its surface and antibiotic drugs in solution, has shown considerable potential in biochemical sensing applications with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity^1-5. The drug-target interactions generate surface stress, causing the cantilever to bend, and the signal can be analyzed optically when it is illuminated by a laser. The change in surface stress measured with nano-scale precision allows disruptions of the biomechanics of model bacterial cell wall targets to be tracked in real time. Despite offering considerable advantages, multiple cantilever sensor arrays have never been applied in quantifying drug-target binding interactions.Here, we report on the use of silicon multiple cantilever arrays coated with alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers mimicking bacterial cell wall matrix to quantitatively study antibiotic binding interactions. To understand the impact of vancomycin on the mechanics of bacterial cell wall structures^1,6,7. We developed a new model¹ which proposes that cantilever bending can be described by two independent factors; i) namely a chemical factor, which is given by a classical Langmuir adsorption isotherm, from which we calculate the thermodynamic equilibrium dissociation constant (K_d) and ii) a geometrical factor, essentially a measure of how bacterial peptide receptors are distributed on the cantilever surface. The surface distribution of peptide receptors (p) is used to investigate the dependence of geometry and ligand loading. It is shown that a threshold value of p ~10% is critical to sensing applications. Below which there is no detectable bending signal while above this value, the bending signal increases almost linearly, revealing that stress is a product of a local chemical binding factor and a geometrical factor combined by the mechanical connectivity of reacted regions and provides a new paradigm for design of powerful agents to combat superbug infections.
