Biomarkers, such as chromosome aberration and micronuclei assays, prove to be reliable for facilitating clinical diagnosis in radiation accidents. In a radiation accident in India, chromosomal aberration, γ-H2AX, as well as other blood markers, were detected in accidentally exposed victims. This multi-parametric approach aided in confirming that individuals had been exposed by ionizing radiation. However, doses were impossible to estimate because of a 30-day delay in accident awareness. Exposure dose for victims was estimated using a dose-response curve previously established. Dose estimation, blood cell depletion kinetics, and no appearance of prodromal symptoms suggested that doses of exposure were low. Hematologic investigation, sampling time, and chromosome aberration scoring were all proposed according to data from the victims exposed to 60Co. Finally, knowledge regarding chromosome aberration analysis and the importance of international co-operation and assistance should be shared from this accident.

子宫内膜异位症(EM)是指具有生长功能的子宫内膜组织出现在子宫腔被覆内膜及子宫体肌层以外的其他部位,是育龄期妇女的常见疾病。目前EM的发病机制尚未明确,可能与子宫内膜干细胞、甾体类激素及其受体、新生血管生成、炎症与免疫等因素有关。笔者拟就EM发病机制的研究进展进行综述如下。
卵巢癌是妇科恶性肿瘤中严重威胁女性健康的一种疾病,起病隐匿、发展快,导致的患者死亡率高,早期诊断和早期治疗可显著提高患者生存率。笔者主要关注超声、CT、MRI及正电子发射计算机断层显像(PET)/CT等影像学检查方法在卵巢癌诊断、临床分期及术后随访中应用价值的研究进展,进行综述如下。
结扎脐带是由胎儿转变为新生儿的里程碑式标志,然而,对于结扎脐带的时机选择迄今尚存争议。目前尚无结扎脐带的统一标准,大多数临床医师均采用新生儿生后立即进行早期结扎脐带(ECC)的方法。但越来越多的研究结果显示,延迟结扎脐带(DCC)在增加新生儿有效循环血容量、增加铁储备、减少新生儿贫血、增强免疫能力等方面具有不可忽视的作用。现笔者拟就近年来DCC对新生儿及婴儿影响的相关研究进行综述如下。
胎儿肺的良好发育是胎儿出生后能否存活的决定因素。肺发育不良定义为肺细胞、气道和肺泡数量减少,导致肺容积及重量减小,常见原因包括先天性膈疝(CDH)、胎膜早破(PROM)等。胎儿肺发育不良在存活新生儿中的发病率为1.1‰,围生期死亡率高达70%,因此产前准确预测和诊断胎儿肺发育不良对于产后干预及新生儿的治疗极为重要。三维超声技术可对胎儿肺容积进行直接测量,为胎儿肺发育的产前评估开辟了一条新路径。笔者

测定肿瘤细胞凋亡是早期评价肿瘤疗效的指标之一,放射性核素凋亡显像是目前研究最为广泛、技术最为成熟的体内肿瘤细胞凋亡分子影像学检测技术,能在活体内动态、无创地检测抗肿瘤治疗引起的细胞凋亡,有助于肿瘤疗效的早期评判和预后分析,其中特异性分子探针技术的研究开发是放射性核素凋亡显像的关键技术之一。笔者将目前有代表性的肿瘤细胞凋亡核素显像分子探针进行了总结。
