火烧油层技术在庙5块低渗透稠油油藏中的应用

方法在物理模拟的基础上，利用数值模拟及油藏工程方法，对影响火烧油层的技术参数进行了优选研究，并对影响火驱成败的油藏地质参数、注气参数进行了分析。目的寻找适合庙５块低渗透稠油油藏的开采方法。结果提出了庙５块火驱的最佳开采方式、点火参数及注气参数；庙５块火驱生产后，平均单井日产液由０１ｔ上升到５６ｔ，平均单井日产油由０１ｔ上升到３５ｔ，生产２６ｄ后由于压风机供风不足被迫停止火驱注气；从数模结果看：火驱最终采收率可达３９８％。结论火烧油层是一种潜力很大的稠油开采方法，但其物理、化学反应机理复杂，火烧前缘难以控制；庙５块火驱初期虽然见到了一定的生产效果，但没有取得经济效益     

An in vitro model for toxin-mediated vascular leak syndrome: ricin toxin A chain increases the permeability of human endothelial cell monolayers

Vascular leak syndrome (VLS) is the dose-limiting toxicity observed in clinical trials of immunotoxins containing ricin toxin A chain (RTA). RTA itself is thought to cause VLS by damaging vascular endothelial cells, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. This is partially due to the paucity of appropriate models. To study VLS, we developed an in vitro model in which human umbilical vein-derived endothelial cells were first grown to confluence on microporous supports and then cultured under low pressure in the presence or absence of RTA. Endothelial cell barrier function was assessed by measuring the volume of fluid that passed through each monolayer per unit time. We found that RTA significantly increased monolayer permeability at times and concentrations consistent with the onset of VLS in patients treated with RTA-based immunotoxins. Scanning electron microscopy showed that intercellular gaps formed in endothelial monolayers exposed to RTA. Intercellular gap formation followed endothelial cell death caused by the enzymatic activity of RTA. We conclude that RTA is directly toxic to endothelial cells in vitro and speculate that this contributes to VLS in vivo.

Acquired hemophilia and rheumatoid arthritis. Value of intravenous immunoglobulins

The authors report an exceedingly rare complication of rheumatoid arthritis, i.e. acquired hemophilia due to anti-factor VIII autoantibody production. Treatment with intravenous immune globulin ensured control of hemorrhagic manifestations by inducing a transient rise in factor VIII level.     

The crystal structure of an Fe-superoxide dismutase from the hyperthermophile Aquifex pyrophilus at 1.9 A resolution: structural basis for thermostability

The incidence of stress fractures is increasing among competitive and recreational athletes as well as among children and the elderly. By understanding the continuum of bone's response to stress and maintaining an appropriate index of suspicion, the health care provider can diagnose these injuries appropriately. An accurate history and examination is essential and will differentiate stress fractures from other stress reactions. The more common stress fractures are discussed.     

Family practice physicians' firearm safety counseling beliefs and behaviors

The purpose of this study was to identify family physicians' firearm safety counseling beliefs and behaviors. A survey was mailed to a random sample of 600 members of the American Academy of Family Physicians. A three wave mailing technique was used to maximize the response rate and yielded 271 usable surveys (55% response rate). Outcome measures included training experience in firearm safety counseling, the prevalence of firearm safety counseling by family physicians, and their perceptions regarding such counseling. The majority (78%) of family physicians lacked formal training on how to counsel patients about firearm safety and 49% believed more time should be spent in residency programs on firearm safety counseling. The majority (84%) of respondents never or rarely counseled patients on firearm safety and 50% believed firearm safety counseling should be a low priority in their delivery of primary care. The majority of respondents did not regularly counsel patients about firearm safety, did not believe firearm safety counseling should be a priority, and did not believe firearm safety counseling would be effective in reducing firearm-related trauma.     

Tetraparesis following dental extraction: case report and discussion of preventive measures for cervical spinal hyperextension injury

This concerns a patient with compression myelopathy following passive hyperextension of the cervical spine during a dental procedure. Although he had been asymptomatic prior to the procedure, subsequent cervical spinal imaging revealed advanced spondylosis and spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is often asymptomatic for a long time. However, when radiculomyelopathy occurs after minor trauma to the head or neck, the patient is often found to have spinal stenosis. Specifically, hyperextension of a cervical spine with spondylotic changes can lead to compression myelopathy. Acquired spinal stenosis correlates positively with aging. As the size of the elderly population continues to increase the prevalence of cervical spondylotic radiculo-myelopathy will likely increase as well. Since appropriate precautions against potential neurologic damage can be undertaken, we suggest radiographic screening for pre-existing spinal stenosis prior to a procedure requiring hyperextension of the neck. Preventive measures for individuals with asymptomatic spondylotic changes and education of all health-care professionals to avoid abrupt or prolonged hyperextension of the cervical spine is emphasized.
