简介:恶性肿瘤是一类细胞周期疾病,几乎所有癌基因、抑癌基因的生物学效应,最终都会集到细胞周期机制上来。细胞周期蛋白D1(CyclinD1)作用于细胞周期的G1→S期调控点,为G1期的限速步骤。研究CyclinD1与头颈部恶性肿瘤发生发展的关系,对了解头颈部恶性肿瘤的发病机制以及基因疗法的开展提供依据。本文对CyclinD1在头颈部恶性肿瘤发生发展中的作用做一综述。

简介:目的对云南3所特殊教育学校聋生人群进行系统性的耳聋临床资料分析,为开展耳聋基因的分子流行病学研究提供参考依据。方法了解聋生详细的耳聋病史;进行全身及耳鼻咽喉常规检查;进行纯音听阂测试及声导抗测试,了解聋生双耳听功能和中耳功能状况。结果聋生耳聋前有耳毒性药物用药史者占8.2%,有家族史者占19.5%,综合征性耳聋占5.3%,耳聋病因不明者亦占较大比例;汉族与非汉族聋生在综合征性耳聋和聋前用药史方面无显著差异,汉族聋生有家族史的比例高于非汉族聋生。结论云南省聋生可能的致聋原因有遗传性聋、药物性聋,但大部分聋生病因不明,尚需借助分子生物学理论和技术,从基因水平进行耳聋病因学的深入研究。。
简介:目的考察3~5岁听障儿童的气质特点及其影响因素,为康复训练提供参考依据。方法选取111名3~5岁听障儿童,采用3~7岁儿童气质问卷施测。结果3~5岁听障儿童在气质各维度上的表现倾向不同(P〈0.05),适应度维度得分最高,其次为趋避性、心境、注意分散度和规律性,注意力持久性和反应阂得分最低。儿童性别、主要照顾人及其受教育水平、职业、家庭结构对听障儿童气质的多个维度具有显著影响(P〈0.05),主要表现在反应强度、注意力持久性、规律性、注意分散度、活动量、心境和适应度维度;助听设备和康复时间对听障儿童气质特点影响不明显(P〉0.05)。结论3~5岁听障儿童的气质受家庭、社会环境等多方面因素影响,但在具体特征上有其独特性。
简介:目的检测不同年龄大鼠下丘α-氨基羟甲基恶唑丙酸(α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole—propionicacid,AMPA)受体亚型GluR2/3(Glutmaterecptor2/3)的分布及其与听性脑干反应(auditorybrainstemresponse,ABR)的关系。方法分别测定1,4,9,15周龄SD大鼠ABR反应阈;FITC标记免疫组化方法检测GluR2/3亚型在不同周龄SD大鼠下丘中的分布。结果1周龄SD大鼠检测不到明显的ABR波形.4周龄起能检测到稳定的ABR波形。GluR2/3在不同年龄大鼠下丘神经元中均有表达。1周龄大鼠染色较少,位于胞膜;4周龄时表达强,主要位于胞膜;9周龄时较弱,位于胞膜及胞质;15周龄时可见于胞膜及核周胞质,但胞质较强。4周龄与1、9、15周龄胞膜相比,GluR2/3亚型的表达较强,差异有显著性;1周与9周、15周龄胞膜之间.GluR2/3的表达较弱,差异无显著性。结论出生后GluR2/3在下丘的含量及分布部位均随年龄变化而变化.这种改变可能与下丘的发育相关。
简介:目的考察3-6岁听障儿童语言功能发展的特点。方法利用《听障儿童语言功能评估》对202例3-6岁听障儿童进行跟踪评估,分别在基线期、6个月后、12个月后进行测试;对3次评估结果进行比较,分析不同年龄组之间的差异,并将听障儿童评估分数与健听儿童参考值对比。结果听障儿童的各项语言功能随时间推移极显著提高(P=0.000〈0.01);听障儿童年龄越大,语言功能越强,年龄组之间存在显著差异(P〈0.05);所有年龄段听障儿童基线评估得分均低于3岁健听儿童期望值,康复12个月后,3、4岁听障儿童达到同龄健听儿童期望值,5、6岁听障儿童和同龄健听儿童仍有差距。结论听障儿童的语言功能和健听儿童存在差距,但经过康复可有较大提升,且干预年龄越小,提升速度越快。

简介:目的探讨肿瘤继发性舌咽神经痛的致病机理和外科治疗。方法回顾性分析1993年1月-2002年6月收治的3例桥小脑角肿瘤继发性舌咽神经痛的临床和病理组织学资料。结果3例患者均为女性,分别为桥小脑角的舌咽神经鞘膜瘤、微小血管瘤样脑膜瘤和脉络丛乳头状瘤。主要临床表现是咽部和舌根部疼痛或伴有耳深部疼痛。1例行肿瘤切除及舌咽神经切断术,另2例行肿瘤切除、舌咽神经切断及迷走神经1-2支感觉支切断术,3例均取得满意疗效。3例术后出现轻度声嘶。随访平均2.3年,3例肿瘤及疼痛均无复发。结论桥小脑角肿瘤是引起舌咽神经痛的原因之一。切除肿瘤同时行舌咽神经根及迷走神经1-2支感觉支切断是治疗肿瘤继发性舌咽神经痛的有效方法。
