122 patients with purulent complications of open diaphyseal fractures of long bones were treated. Comparative analysis of different surgical methods for treatment of pyogenic complications has shown that the most effective method is one of active sanation of the area of inflammation with the use of combined drainage ensured successful and steady decrease of pyogenic process (follow-up up to 4 years, 89.7% of patients). The drainage provides stable fixation of bones fragments by dipped fixators until consolidation of the fracture. It also promotes repain of residual diaphyseal defects without application of complicated plastic methods. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis have been studied in white populations but infrequently in multiethnic cohorts. The aim of this study was to determine the importance of race-ethnicity and other factors associated with carotid atherosclerosis in a mixed population of Hispanics, blacks, and whites. METHODS: As part of the Northern Manhattan Stroke Study, 526 stroke-free community residents (aged > or = 40 years; 41% men, 59% women; 46% Hispanic, 31% black, 23% white) were recruited through random-digit dialing and had vascular risk factor evaluations. Maximum internal carotid artery plaque thickness (MICPT) was measured with B-mode ultrasound. The frequency distribution of MICPT was examined in the three race-ethnic groups, and multivariate regression was performed to identify factors that were independently associated with MICPT. RESULTS: Mean MICPT in the entire sample was 1.5 +/- 1.4 mm, increased directly with age, and was greater in whites and blacks than Hispanics. Other independent determinants of MICPT included smoking, glucose, LDL cholesterol, and hypertension. After we controlled for these covariates, Hispanic (versus non-Hispanic) race-ethnicity was still an independent determinant of less carotid plaque. There was a significant interaction between race-ethnicity and LDL cholesterol, with a greater effect of increasing LDL cholesterol among Hispanics. CONCLUSIONS: Atherosclerotic risk factors were predictive of MICPT in this mixed-ethnic cohort. Hispanics had significantly less carotid plaque after adjustment for other known risk factors, but they also had a greater impact of increasing LDL cholesterol. 相似文献

Prostaglandins have been reported to mediate the effects of ovariectomy on bone loss. We studied the effect of naproxen, an inhibitor of production of prostaglandins, on ovariectomy-induced bone loss. One hundred forty female Wistar rats 4.5 months of age were divided into groups of baseline, sham operation (sham), sham treated with naproxen at 10 mg/kg per day (in food), and ovariectomy treated with naproxen or estrogen as intramuscular injection of estradiol at 0.2 mg/kg body weight per week. They were killed 3, 6, and 9 months postsurgery. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (L1-4), femoral neck, midshaft, and distal metaphysis was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in vitro. The compressive test of the L1 vertebral body and torsional test of the left femur were performed. The right femoral neck and femoral midshaft were processed undecalcified for determining cross-sectional moments of inertia. Naproxen treatment partially prevented ovariectomy-induced loss or less gain in BMD, in a significant manner, in the femoral neck cortical area, and also in L1 compressive strength and stiffness. Estrogen fully prevented these ovariectomy-induced effects. Naproxen showed no effect on ovariectomy-induced improvement in femoral torsional strength and stiffness and cross-sectional moments of inertia. No statistically significant difference was found between naproxen-treated sham rats and untreated sham rats. The data suggest that naproxen partially prevents ovariectomy-induced osteopenia. 相似文献

Management of in-stent restenosis has become a significant challenge in interventional cardiology. The results of balloon angioplasty have been disappointing due to the high recurrence of restenosis at follow-up. Debulking of the restenotic tissue within the stents using directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) may offer a therapeutic advantage. We report the immediate clinical and angiographic outcomes and long-term clinical follow-up results of 45 patients (46 lesions), mean age 63+/-12 years, 73% men, with a mean reference diameter of 2.9+/-0.6 mm, treated with DCA for symptomatic Palmaz-Schatz in-stent restenosis. DCA was performed successfully in all 46 lesions and resulted in a postprocedural minimal luminal diameter of 2.7+/-0.7 mm and a residual diameter stenosis of 17+/-10%. There were no in-hospital deaths, Q-wave myocardial infarctions, or emergency coronary artery bypass surgeries. Four patients (9%) suffered a non-Q-wave myocardial infarction. Target lesion revascularization was 28.3% at a mean follow-up of 10+/-4.6 months. Kaplan-Meier event-free survival (freedom from death, myocardial infarction, and repeat target lesion revascularization) was 71.2% and 64.7% at 6 and 12 months after DCA, respectively. Thus, DCA is safe and efficacious for the treatment of Palmaz-Schatz in-stent restenosis. It results in a large postprocedural minimal luminal diameter and a low rate of both target lesion revascularization and combined major clinical events at follow-up. 相似文献

This study describes a form of partial agonism for a CD8+ CTL clone, S15, in which perforin-dependent killing and IFN-gamma production were lost but Fas (APO1 or CD95)-dependent cytotoxicity preserved. Cloned S15 CTL are H-2Kd restricted and specific for a photoreactive derivative of the Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite peptide PbCS 252-260 (SYIPSAEKI). The presence of a photoactivatable group in the epitope permitted assessment of TCR-ligand binding by TCR photoaffinity labeling. Selective activation of Fas-dependent killing was observed for a peptide-derivative variant containing a modified photoreactive group. A similar functional response was obtained after binding of the wild-type peptide derivative upon blocking of CD8 participation in TCR-ligand binding. The epitope modification or blocking of CD8 resulted in an > or = 8-fold decrease in TCR-ligand binding. In both cases, phosphorylation of zeta-chain and ZAP-70, as well as calcium mobilization were reduced close to background levels, indicating that activation of Fas-dependent cytotoxicity required weaker TCR signaling than activation of perforin-dependent killing or IFN-gamma production. Consistent with this, we observed that depletion of the protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck) by preincubation of S15 CTL with herbimycin A severely impaired perforin- but not Fas-dependent cytotoxicity. Together with the observation that S15 CTL constitutively express Fas ligand, these results indicate that TCR signaling too weak to elicit perforin-dependent cytotoxicity or cytokine production can induce Fas-dependent cytotoxicity, possibly by translocation of preformed Fas ligand to the cell surface. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the mechanism of vasodilation and circulatory shock occurring in patients who are treated with isolated limb perfusion with melphalan and recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha for locally advanced malignant tumors. To determine the role of nitric oxide, if any, by measuring plasma nitrite and nitrate concentrations. DESIGN: Observational survey. SETTING: A 12-bed surgical intensive care unit in a university referral hospital. PATIENTS: Eight patients treated with hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion. INTERVENTIONS: Ninety minutes of hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion with recombinant TNF-alpha (3 or 4 mg) and melphalan (10 to 13 mg/L limb volume). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: All patients developed sepsis syndrome due to leakage of recombinant TNF-alpha from the perfusion circuit to the systemic circulation. Despite the presence of very high systemic TNF-alpha concentrations during and immediately after perfusion, and despite definite signs of hyperdynamic circulatory shock (increased heart rate, increased cardiac index, decreased systemic vascular resistance), nitrite and nitrate concentrations, as measured in plasma at several time points, were not increased. CONCLUSIONS: The hypothesis that in humans, TNF-alpha induces vasodilation and shock through activation of inducible nitric-oxide synthase and subsequent formation of excessive quantities of nitric oxide is not substantiated by our results. Normal nitric oxide metabolite concentrations were found in the presence of high TNF-alpha concentrations and shock. Other mechanisms that do not involve the nitric oxide pathway are likely to play a role in the generation of hypotension and septic shock in this setting. 相似文献
