拜新同医学信息加油站-第6期
U p d a t e拜新同所致的牙龈增生发生概率大概是多少?牙龈增生属于拜新同罕见的不良反应[1],发生率在≥1/10,000至<1/1,000之间,但是这一数据是报告的所有含有硝苯地平的药品的不良反应发生率,并不限于拜新同。
参考文献:[1] 拜新同说明书(2010年11月29日修改)拜新同所致牙龈增生发生机制是什么?近年来对于钙离子拮抗剂导致牙龈增生的研究虽然取得了长足的进步, 但发病的确切机制仍不甚清楚。
目前存在下面几方面的观点[1-4]:组织学方面,长期服用硝苯地平的患者,牙龈上皮基底层细胞有丝分裂旺盛,这将导致组织学所见的上皮增生,同时,超微结构观察可见上皮下有新胶原形成。
也有研究认为,上皮增生并不是通过细胞数目的增多,而是减少了细胞凋亡,从而延长了细胞生命周期所导致[1]。
从细胞学角度分析,硝苯地平可以促进牙龈成纤维细胞的增殖、DNA 合成、胶原合成,并通过减少牙龈成纤维细胞对胶原的吞噬作用,导致牙龈Ⅰ型胶原堆积,从而造成牙龈增生。
服用硝苯地平后牙龈增生的成纤维细胞合成蛋白质的能力可能较服用硝苯地平后未增生患者牙龈成纤维细胞强,且前者对于硝苯地平的反应也明显强于后者,这提示两类细胞的细胞生物学特性以及对钙离子拮抗剂的反应能力存在差异,药物性牙龈增生的发生可能存在细胞异质性。
炎症及免疫反应方面,多项研究结果都表明,牙龈炎症的程度(以菌斑指数、出血指数、牙龈指数等为指标)的确与硝苯地平导致的牙龈增生程度成正相关,通过一些控制菌斑的手段,也基本能够使增生牙龈恢复正常,并在一定程度上防止复发。
另外,硝苯地平可以加重牙龈的免疫反应,多种细胞因子在硝苯地平诱导的牙龈增生过程中发挥作用。
药理作用方面,有研究认为硝苯地平引起牙龈增生可能与抑制牙龈成纤维细胞内钙离子含量有关[3];也有研究推测钙离子浓度的变化可能通过影响细胞合成金属基质蛋白酶,间接导致胶原代谢紊乱。
从激素水平分析,动物实验表明,在硝苯地平作用下,雄性动物更容易产生牙龈增生,这可能是由于硝苯地平阻止钙离子内流,使细胞外钙离子堆积,刺激局部雄性激素的代谢,间接促进成纤维细胞的增殖或释放基质物质。

Enterovirus may be linked to paralysis in 12 Colorado children, study findsnew study by researchers from Children's Hospital Colorado suggests a potential link between a rare respiratory virus and a form of paralysis that has so far affected more than 100 children in the US. Since early August last year, 107 children over 34 US states have developed acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) - a sudden form of muscle weakness or paralysis. The condition is characterized by limb weakness, difficulty swallowing and/or facial weakness.AFP is normally associated with poliovirus, and global vaccinations for the virus has meant incidence of AFP has become uncommon. But the number of recent cases identified is three times higher than normal.While the cause remains unclear, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have flagged enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) - a non-polio virus that causes mild to severe respiratory illness - as a culprit, particularly since 2014 saw an outbreak of the virus around the same time as cases of AFP rose.Starting in Missouri and Illinois in August 2014, outbreaks of EV-D68 soon started to spread to other parts of the US, including Colorado - where from then until October, several children were admitted to Children's Hospital Colorado with AFP.Study leader Dr. Kevin Messacar, a pediatric infectious disease physician and researcher at Children's Hospital Colorado, and colleagues set out to review these cases in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the cause.According to the researchers, between August 1st and September 30th, 2014, there was a 36% rise in the number of respiratory-related visits to Children's Hospital Colorado emergency department and a 77% increase in respiratory-related admission rates, compared with the same months in 2013 and 2014.During the same period last year, the team notes, there was also a significant rise in the number of nasal samples testing positive for rhinovirus and enterovirus."In a sample of 25 specimens from children admitted to the intensive care unit with severe respiratory illness who tested positive for rhinovirus or enterovirus in the nasopharynx, we identified EV-D68 in 19 (76%) specimens," say the researchers.'S everal factors suggest a link between EV-D68 neurological disease'Between August 1st and October 31st, 2014, the researchers identified 12 children who presented at the hospital with varying severities of muscle weakness in their limbs, facial weakness and problems swallowing. Around a week before these symptoms started, all of the children had a fever and respiratory illness.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that 10 of the children had lesions in the spinal cord, while nine of the children had brain stem lesions. The researchers identified the presence of enteroviruses or rhinoviruses among eight of the children - and five of these tested positive for EV-D68.Though the 12 children have received treatment, 10 of the children with limb paralysis continue to have problems and the researchers say it is unclear as to whether this will be permanent. They add that three of the children have shown improvements in swallowing and facial weakness, however.Based on their findings, published in The Lancet, the researchers believe it is possible EV-D68 may be associated with neurological disease. They say:"We report the first geographical and temporal cluster of acute flaccid paralysis and cranial nerve dysfunction associated with a community-wide outbreak of enterovirus-D68 respiratory disease.Although our findings do not prove that enterovirus D68 is the cause of the neurological presentations described, several epidemiological, virological and clinical factors suggest an association between the D68 virus and neurological disease."They add that if EV-D68 outbreaks continue, effective treatments and vaccines against the virus need to be a major scientific priority."If further investigation confirms the link between EV-D68 and AFP and cranial nerve dysfunction, EV-D68 will be added to the list of non-poliovirus enteroviruses capable of causing severe, potentially irreversible neurologic damage, and finding effective antiviral therapies and vaccines will be a priority," says senior author Dr. Samuel Dominguez, microbial epidemiologist at the Children's Hospital Colorado.In June 2013, Medical News Today reported on a study that found a number of children with Crohn's disease also had enterovirus, indicating a link between the two conditions.Written by Honor WhitemanReferencesA cluster of acute flaccid paralysis and cranial nerve dysfunction temporally associated with an outbreak of enterovirus D68 in children in Colorado, USA, Kevin Messacar, et al., The Lancet, published online 29 January 2015, abstract.The Lancet news release, accessed 30 January 2015.Additional source: CDC, Summary of findings: investigation of acute flaccid myelitis in US Children, 2014, accessed 30 January 2015.Organ transplants in the US 'have saved almost 2.3 million years of life'Little more than 50 years ago, the world's first successful kidney transplant took place. Now, more than 16,000 kidney transplants take place each year in the US alone, indicative of just how far organ transplantation has come. Now, researchers have analyzed 25 years of transplant data to determine how many years of life have been saved by the procedure.The research team, including Dr. Abbas Rana of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, publishes their findings in JAMA Surgery.In the US, around 79 people each day receive an organ transplant. Every 10 seconds, a person is added to the waiting list to receive one. Organ transplantation is normally the only effective treatment for end-stage organ failure, meaning people's lives literally depend on the procedure.Statistics up to the beginning of December 2012 reveal that of patients who received a heart transplant, almost 70% were alive 5 years later. For patients who received a kidney transplant from a living donor, 92% were alive 5 years after the procedure. With figures like these, it is no wonder Dr. Rana and colleagues hail organ transplantation as the "marvel of modern medicine."For their study, however, the team wanted to delve deeper into the survival benefits of organ transplantation in the US. They set out to determine how many years of life the procedure has saved between 1987 and 2012.The number of life-years saved is a 'stellar accomplishment'In 1987, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) began keeping records of all solid organ transplants that take place in the US, as well as records of patients who were waiting for a transplant.Using the UNOS database, Dr. Rana and colleagues reviewed the records of 1,112,835 patients with end-stage organ failure. Of these, 533,329 received a transplant and 579,506 were on the waiting list but did not have the procedure.The researchers calculated the number of life-years saved by organ transplantation between September 1st, 1987 and December 31st, 2012 by comparing the survival outcomes of patients who underwent the procedure with those who did not.The results of the analysis revealed that over the 25-year period, organ transplantation saved 2,270,859 years of life in the US. Each organ transplant was estimated to have saved around 4.3 years of life.The researchers also estimated the years of life saved by each type of organ transplantation, which were:Kidney transplant - 1.3 million years of life savedLiver transplant - 465,296 years of life savedHeart transplant - 269,715 years of life savedPancreas-kidney transplant - 79,198 years of life savedLung transplant - 64,575 years of life savedPancreas transplant - 14,903 years of life savedIntestine transplant - 4,402 years of life saved.The researchers hail the almost 2.3 million life-years saved by organ transplantation in the US as a "stellar accomplishment." They add:"Although most of the findings in this analysis are not novel, this analysis concisely reports on the collective experience of solid-organ transplant in the United States, making it, to our knowledge, the largest study in the field of transplantation yet conducted.These results refute any lingering perception of transplantation as a niche field with limited practical benefit. Furthermore, focusing exclusively on the survival benefit does not capture the vast improvements in quality of life and the drastically lowered morbidity rates after a transplant."Donor shortages hamper progress of organ transplantationThe researchers point out, however, that there is a "critical shortage" of donor organs, which hinders progress in the field of organ transplantation.They note that of the patients on the waiting list for an organ transplant during the 25-year period studied, only 47.9% had the procedure.According to the US Government Information on Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation, 123,258 people in the US are currently waiting for an organ transplant, but only 30,000 organ transplants were carried out in 2013. Around 18 people die each day waiting for an organ transplant."The need is increasing; therefore, organ donation must increase," say the researchers. "We call for deepened support of solid-organ transplant and donation - worthy endeavors with a remarkable record of achievement and a tremendous potential to do even more good for humankind in the future."In September 2014, Medical News Today reported on a study published in BMC Medicine, in which researchers from the UK assessed whether an opt-in or opt-out system is best for organ donations.Written by Honor WhitemanReferencesSurvival benefit of solid-organ transplant in the United States, Abbas Rana, et al., JAMA Surgery, doi:10.1001/jamasurg.2014.2038, published online 28 January 2015, abstract.

医学新闻英语演讲稿范文
Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is my great honor to stand before you today and share with you some exciting news in the field of medicine. As we all know, medicine is an ever-evolving field, and it is constantly bringing us new discoveries and breakthroughs. Today, I would like to talk about a recent breakthrough in cancer treatment, a new drug that has shown remarkable results in clinical trials.Title: A Breakthrough in Cancer Treatment: The New Drug "Immunotherapy"Introduction:Cancer is a deadly disease that has claimed countless lives around the world. Despite the advancements in medical technology, cancer remains a major challenge for healthcare professionals. However, recent years have witnessed significant progress in the field of cancer treatment, with new therapies and drugs being developed to combat this formidable opponent. One such breakthrough is the new drug called "Immunotherapy," which has shown promising results in clinical trials.Body:1. Understanding Cancer:To understand the significance of Immunotherapy, we must first understand the nature of cancer. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. These cells can originate from various parts of the body and can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant cells have the ability to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis.2. Traditional Cancer Treatments:For many years, the primary treatments for cancer have been surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Surgery involves the removal of the cancerous tissue, while radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, utilizes powerful drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. While these treatmentshave saved many lives, they often come with significant side effects and may not be effective for all types of cancer.3. The Birth of Immunotherapy:Immunotherapy is a relatively new approach to cancer treatment that aims to harness the body's own immune system to fight cancer. Unlike traditional treatments that target cancer cells directly, immunotherapy boosts the immune system's ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. This innovative approach has shown remarkable success in treating various types of cancer, including melanoma, lung cancer, and kidney cancer.4. How Immunotherapy Works:Immunotherapy works by manipulating the immune system's response to cancer. There are several types of immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, and CAR T-cell therapy. Checkpoint inhibitors release the brakes on immune cells, allowing them to attack cancer cells. Cancer vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. CAR T-cell therapy involves engineering a patient's own T cells to recognize and kill cancer cells.5. Results of Clinical Trials:Clinical trials have shown that immunotherapy can significantly improve survival rates for cancer patients. For example, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that a checkpoint inhibitor called "nivolumab" increased the median overall survival rate for patients with advanced melanoma from 6.9 months to 11.5 months. Another study found that a CAR T-cell therapy called "tisagenlecleucel" achieved a complete response rate of 81% in patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia.6. Challenges and Future Prospects:While immunotherapy has shown great promise, it is not without its challenges. Some patients may experience severe side effects, and notall cancer types respond well to immunotherapy. Ongoing research isfocused on improving the efficacy and reducing the side effects of immunotherapy. In addition, efforts are being made to personalize immunotherapy treatments by identifying the specific immune checkpoints and cancer antigens that are most relevant to individual patients.Conclusion:The discovery of immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment, offering new hope to millions of cancer patients worldwide. As we continue to advance our understanding of the immune system and its interaction with cancer, we can expect even more innovative treatments to emerge. Today, we celebrate this groundbreaking achievement in medicine, and we look forward to a future where cancer is no longer a death sentence.Thank you for your attention, and I welcome any questions you may have.。

医学前沿的英语作文As we all know, the incidence rate of rheumatism in developed countries is higher than that in China due to many factors, such as living habits, dietary structure and so on. However, why is the incidence of stroke sequelae far lower in developed countries than in China?Cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, commonly known as stroke (cerebrovascular accident), is a common disease in the middle-aged and elderly people caused by cerebrovascular blockage or rupture and hemorrhage for different reasons. This etiology is transient cerebral ischemia, which causes local brain nerve damage or death, resulting in a series of neurological dysfunction, namely stroke sequelae.In China, 80% of stroke patients will leave serious sequelae, while in the United States, only 20% will leave sequelae, which is closely related to the early development of Ganglioside (GM) in the United States and its first clinical application. In the United States, Italy and other countries, stroke patients are generally able to use GM injections in a timely and sufficient amount within 8-24 hours of onset, which greatly avoids the occurrence of sequelae.In China, the treatment of stroke mainly adopts methods such as hemostasis or vasodilation, throm bolysis, activating blood circulation and dredging collaterals: "direct effect on cerebral vessels, indirect effect on cerebral nerves". Due to the failure to effectively repair the damaged nerves, the patients left serious sequelae.The clinical application shows that the use of GM in acute phase can prevent the toxic damage of excessive release of glutamate to brain neurons, protect brain cells and reduce the occurrence of sequelae; Using GM in the recovery period can repair the damaged nerve cells, significantly reduce the ischemic infarct in the brain, reshape the neural network, and restore the self function of the damaged nerve.In the late 1990s, with the support of the "national major natural science foundation" project, scientists from the Shanghai Academy of life sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences completed the biological extraction of gangliosides and took the lead in making oral preparations - brain keys.According to relevant media reports, countless stroke patients miraculously recovered to stand and walk after taking domestic gangliosides. This remarkable effect has conquered nearly 300000 stroke patients nationwide in the seven yearssince its listing, and has also been widely praised by stroke patients in Europe and the United States and other developed countries.。

阿迪新闻英语-你现在就可以做的有助于⼼脏健康的⼀件事20201225 Sun阿迪新闻英语你现在就可以做的有助于⼼脏健康的⼀件事One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Help Your HeartMany diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the risk factors that increase your chances of dying.Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. Poor diet, having too much body fat and a lack of physical exercise all increase your risk of heart disease -- so can using tobacco products and drinking too much alcohol.So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake.But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile."When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered. The chemicals that are released are more positive."He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies support Dr. Chockaligam’s prescription to smile more.When we talk about disorders of the heart and blood vessels, we are talking about cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease. And they are the number one cause of death around the world. That information comes from the World Health Organization.The main cause of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels. These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones including adrenaline and cortisol.Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.However, when stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Researchers with the American Heart Association say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear.However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may not make the best decisions about what to eat. They may overeat, smoke or drink too much alcohol. They may not get enough exercise or sleep. And all of this can lead to health problems.Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help.He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects."Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health."And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health. And that's the Health & Lifestyle report.-----Words in This Storyfactor – n. something that helps produce or influence aresult : one of the things that cause something to happenaltered – adj. made different in some waypositive – adj. good or usefulNew Age – adj. capitalized : an eclectic group of cultural attitudes arising in late 20th century Western society that are adapted from those of a variety of ancient and modern cultures, that are outside the mainstream, and that advance alternative approaches to spirituality, right living,and healthprescription – n. a written message from a doctor that officially tells someone to use a medicine, therapy, etc.invasive – adj. involving entry into the living body as by incision or by insertion of an instrumentside effect – n. an often harmful and unwanted effect of a drug or chemical that occurs along with the desired effectrelax – v. to become calm and free from stress : relaxing – adj.fight-or-flight response – noun Physiology, Psychology : the response of the sympathetic nervous system to a stressful event, preparing the body to fight or flee : associated with the adrenal secretion of epinephrine and characterized by increased heart rate, increased blood flow to the brain and muscles, raised sugar levels, sweaty palms and soles, dilated pupils, and erect hairs。

Siemens said that if you look at it from the patient's point of view, this new device means one exam instead of two. The advantage for the medical center is that it is only one system; it takes up less space, there is just one investment, which in the longer-run will give significant economic benefits. A Siemen's spokesperson said that this device opens new horizons with respect to finding diseases earlier. It allows for a faster understanding during follow up on how treatment is working. In the areas of neurology and oncology, and later on cardiology, it will allow for improved diagnostics. This YouTube video below was released before FDA approval:

A device that simultaneously performs a PET (positron emission tomography) scan and an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan, called the Siemens Biograph mMR system, has been cleared by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration). A PET scan sees how internal parts of the body are functioning - it tracks metabolism, movement. A radioactive chemical tracer is injected into the patient's bloodstream. When inside, the tracer goes to areas inside the body that use the natural chemical. For example, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is tagged to glucose to make a radiotracer. Cancers use glucose differently, so FDG can show up cancers. An MRI machine uses radio waves and a magnetic field to create detailed images of internal parts of the body, such as soft tissues, organs and bones. Siemens Biograph mMR system can do simultaneous imaging, it can show up increased soft tissue contrast, and uses less radiation than a PET or CT (computer tomography) scan, the FDA informs. Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said: "The Siemens PET/MRI system allows two tests to run simultaneously without having to move the patient to a different scanning system. Minimizing changes in a patient's position between tests allows physicians to compare images more easily and helps them get the most accurate information possible."

Simultaneous PET/MRI Device - Siemens Biograph MMR System - Approved By FDA
"MR and PET have become an established part of everyday healthcare routines and have proven themselves to be valuable clinical diagnostic tools. The integration of these two technologies into a single system capable of simultaneous acquisition brings the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of many conditions. Initial research suggests that with this system, Molecular MR can scan the entire body in as little as 30 minutes for the combined exams, compared to one hour or more for sequential MR and PET examinations."

The Biograph mMR system is made by Siemens Medical Solutions, Pennsylvania, USA. It is part of Siemens, the German engineering company. Written by Christian Nordqvist Copyright: Medical News Today Not to be reproduced without permission of Medical News Today
Rather than using CT to produce detailed pictures of internal parts of the body, the Siemens PET/MRI system uses MRI, which produces greater detail in virtually all the body's internal structures than a CT does. MRI images are based mainly on water concentrations in the body, while the CT uses X-rays. With this new device the health care professional will have valuable additional data about a patient's condition. With the Biograph mMR system, the patient is exposed to much lower radiation levels compared to a PET/CT system. Patients who have to undergo several scans will benefit, as well as other sensitive populations, such as young children. The FDA evaluated the results of bench tests that compared the Biograph mMR system with a standard PET/CT device. Anyone who requires diagnostic PET or MRI imaging is a potential candidate for the Siemens Biograph mMR system. The FDA added: "However, people with pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted electronic devices should not be scanned with the Biograph mMR system unless those devices are specifically indicated for use in the MRI environment, because the strong magnetic fields of the MRI system may interfere with those devices."
