简介:目的分析骶尾部窦道的病因及临床治疗。方法7例骶尾部窦道患者,其中男性3例,女性4例,年龄22~59岁。采用手术治疗,术式依病灶而定。比较其临床表现、手术方式、术后病理及其预后。结果7例患者均行单纯一期切除缝合,术中亚甲蓝染色保证完整切除。2例术后病理学诊断为表皮样囊肿,均为中年女性;5例为藏毛窦,年龄22~28岁(男性3例,女性2例),其中1例术后复发。结论骶尾部窦道病因不同,可依据年龄、分泌物性状、有无局部外伤及手术史等给予诊断,表皮样囊肿或畸胎瘤等保守治疗无效,需及时手术,对于多窦口或手术失败的藏毛窦,建议行off-midline手术,目前认为"裂上提"效果较佳,单窦口藏毛窦及其他病因可根据情况采取单纯一期切除缝合。
简介:过去的几年间,干细胞研究已成为了癌症研究中最热门的研究领域之一。然而,在干细胞中,研究较多的并非胚胎干细胞,而是癌症干细胞(cancerstemcell;tumorstemcell;也有译作肿瘤干细胞)。这些突变的细胞,可以无限期地生长,同时还可引发新的肿瘤。癌症干细胞被认为是导致许多(如果不是全部的话)癌症发生的真正诱因。更为可怕的是,化疗或者其他现有的治疗手段在这些持续生长的细胞身上几乎毫无功效。它们的存在也解释了为何肿瘤在治疗后会复发或是转移。因此,越来越多的研究者将快速有效治疗癌症的希望寄托在如何彻底消灭这些干细胞上。然而,事情远远没有想象中的那么简单,因为这些癌症干细胞在肿瘤,即便是大肿瘤中,也是微乎其微,对于它们的研究也因此遇到了巨大障碍。 现在,研究者们开发出了一种在小鼠身上大量增殖人类乳腺癌干细胞的方法,并且还发现了一个调控癌症干细胞的遗传开关(geneticswitch)。这个调控因子属于一个称作微小RNAs(microRNAs)的分子家族,它可以通过关闭一些特异性的基因,促使干细胞朝分化的方向发育。

简介:基于CT图像数据结合图像处理软件建立人体下颈椎C3-C7活动节段的三维有限元模型,并验证模型的有效性。选取一名健康志愿者颈椎CT数据,建立包括椎体、后部结构、终板、椎间盘、韧带和关节突等部分的下颈椎C3-C7三维有限元模型,赋予颈椎组织不同成分的材料属性,模拟人体颈椎在正常生理状态下承受扭矩载荷时,前屈、后伸、侧弯和旋转等运动情况下颈椎椎体、椎间盘和小关节的生物力学特性。颈椎C3-C7活动节段在四种工况下的活动范围与前人离体实验和有限元分析的研究结果基本吻合,颈椎椎体、椎间盘和小关节的应力分布符合其生物力学特性。下颈椎C3-C7活动节段的模拟结果符合人体的真实运动规律,为临床颈椎的生理、病理研究以及植入器械的力学性能分析奠定理论基础。
简介:目的:筛选ATP结合盒E1(ABCE1)基因的相关调节miRNA,为诊治肺癌提供新思路。方法选取20例非小细胞肺癌患者,其中男性13例,女性7例;年龄45~73岁,平均年龄62.9岁。鳞癌11例,腺癌9例。应用生物信息学预测ABCE1基因上游的miRNA,通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-Q-PCR)及免疫组织化学方法,对标本非小细胞癌组织和癌旁组织进行检测,并进行统计学分析,从中筛选出目的miRNA。结果生物信息软件预测7个最有可能调节ABCE1基因的miRNA,分别为miR-29a/b/c、miR-135a/b、miR-203及miR-141;其中miR-29a/b/c、miR-135a、miR-203的表达在癌组织内较癌旁组织都有不同程度的降低,以miR-135a、miR-29c差异最为明显,与之对应ABCE1在相同的肺癌组织内表达上调(P〈0.05);仅miR-135a与ABCE1在上述肺癌患者内表达呈现负性相关(r=-0.665,P=0.001)。结论在非小细胞肺癌内,很有可能是miR-135a负性调节ABCE1基因,两者结合可能成为诊治肺癌的新靶点。

简介:为了探讨束缚+温水(36±1)℃应激是否能引起大鼠胃粘膜损伤、是否对延髓和下丘脑Fos蛋白表达有影响,本研究将雄性Wistar大鼠随机分两组:实验组,束缚+温水(36±1)℃应激1h;对照组,室温下单纯束缚应激1h。应激后处死,测直肠温度;取胃,观察胃粘膜损伤程度;取脑,应用免疫组化染色方法观察两组动物延髓、下丘脑神经元的Fos蛋白表达。结果显示:两组动物胃粘膜损伤程度均较轻或基本无胃粘膜损伤,延髓和下丘脑各核团Fos蛋白表达均无显著性差异,直肠温度也无显著性差异。这些结果提示,由于束缚+温水(36±1)℃应激不改变动物的体温,因而不引起延髓和下丘脑控制胃机能的核团神经元活动加强,从而也不诱发急性胃粘膜损伤。
简介:目的p27Kip1是一种细胞周期素依赖激酶抑制物,它抑制G1期的进程并对其进行调节。方法采用乳化-溶剂挥发法制备含p27kip1的纳米粒子,粒度集中分布在243~343nm,平均粒度为288.9nm,粒径呈窄分布,粒度分布指数为0.192。p27Kip1纳米粒子的载基因率为3%。包封效率为86%。p27Kip1基因纳米粒子的体外释放,开始的5d累积释放曲线接近直线,约1周后释放量开始变慢,释放曲线缓慢上升,可平稳维持释放2周以上。用p27kip1基因纳米粒子转染大鼠动脉平滑肌细胞,分为p27Kip1基因纳米粒子组、空白纳米粒子组、对照组,培养48h后收集细胞,流式细胞仪测定p27kip1纳米粒子对细胞周期调控的结果显示转染前细胞G1/G0期比例为92.4%,转染后48h,对照组及空白纳米粒子组G1/G0期比例为64.5%、68.3%,S期为12.4%、10.3%,表明G0/G1→S的过程非常迅速,细胞增殖活跃。而基因组G1/G0期比例为88.3%,S期为7.2%,说明细胞发生G1期阻滞,细胞增殖受到抑制。建立大鼠自体静脉移植模型,随机分成转基因治疗组、空白纳米粒子组、单纯静脉移植组,应用显微...
