实验性兔羊水栓塞血浆NO和ET的含量变化

目的观察兔羊水栓塞(AFE)后血浆一氧化氮(NO)、内皮素(ET)含量的动态变化。方法采用怀孕家兔制作羊水栓塞动物模型,将不同性质的自身羊水注入兔血循环,分别在羊水注入前、注入后5min、45min从兔心脏取血,用镉还原法、放射免疫分析(RIA)法分别检测血浆中NO和ET的动态变化。结果注入羊水后ET含量显著增加,NO含量则显著降低,对照组无显著变化。NO与ET含量变化呈显著负相关。结论NO、ET的动态变化在羊水栓塞早期的一过性肺动脉高压及随后发生的DIC等过程中起重要作用。

羊水栓塞与医疗过错因果关系鉴定的基本原则(附3例分析)

羊水栓塞(amnionic fluid embolism)是指在分娩过程中羊水进入母体血循环引起肺栓塞、休克和发生弥漫性血管内凝血(DIC)等一系列严重症状的综合征,是极其严重的分娩并发症,历来被认为是一种产科的危重急症,死亡率较高. 羊水栓塞临床表现各异,病情的突发性、多变性和个体性特点较突出,一旦临床处理不当,患者常常死亡.目前,随着对羊水栓塞的认识的逐步加深,医疗条件和技术水平的提高,羊水栓塞的诊断和治疗渐趋成熟,死亡率已大大降低.但由于我国医疗条件、技术水平的地区差异较大,对发生了羊水栓塞的抢救仍存在和大的差异.患者家属由于难以接受突然出现的后果,常常提起医疗纠纷的诉讼.评价诊疗行为是否得当及与患者死亡的因果关系即成为医疗纠纷鉴定的关键问题. 一、鉴定思路     

基于尸体CT肺动脉造影的血栓与死后凝血块CT值比较

目的 探究尸体CT肺动脉造影中肺动脉血栓和死后凝血块CT值的差异性,提高虚拟解剖技术的应用价值。方法 收集2016—2019年死因明确的死后CT肺动脉造影数据,分为肺动脉血栓栓塞组(4例)、死后凝血块组(5例)和对照组(5例),对各组肺动脉干及左右肺动脉内容物的CT值进行统计学分析。结果 肺动脉血栓栓塞组、死后凝血块组的CT均值分别为(168.4±53.8)Hu和(282.7±78.0)Hu,均低于对照组CT均值[(1 193.0±82.9)Hu,P<0.05]。死后凝血块组CT均值高于肺动脉血栓栓塞组(P<0.05)。结论 在死后CT肺动脉造影检查中,CT值作为区分肺动脉血栓栓塞和死后凝血块相对客观的量化指标具有可行性,在一定程度上可为排除肺动脉血栓栓塞死亡提供科学依据。     

实验性急性心肌梗死心肌K~+/Na~+、Mg~(2+)/Ca/~(2+)Zn~(2+)/Cu~(2+)比值变化的研究

用结扎家免左冠状动脉建立急性心肌梗死区的模型,探讨梗死区心肌中K~+/Na~+、Mg~(2+)/Ca/~(2+)、Zn~(2+)/Cu~(2+)比值的变化与急性心肌梗死发生时间的规律。结果提示:(1)K~+/Na~+、Mg~(2+)/Ca/~(2+)比值随心肌缺血时间延长呈进行性下降。K~+/Na~+比值在60min、120min实验组与对照组比较有显著性差异(P<0.01);(2)Zn~(2+)/Cu~(2+)比值各实验组与对照组比较无显著性差异(P>0.05),但实验组随缺血时间延长,Zn~(2+)/Cu~(2+)比值呈下降趋势,120min组比15min、30min、60min组降低约1/2(PC<0.01)。测定心肌梗死区K~+/Na~+、Mg~(2+)/Ca/~(2+)比值可以作为显示和判定急性心肌梗死的重要指标。     

兔皮肤钝器伤IL-1β、COX-2和MCP-1 mRNA表达与法医学应用

目的应用荧光定量PCR技术检测兔皮肤钝器伤后IL-1β、COX-2和MCP-1mRNA的时序性表达规律,分析其与损伤时间的关系。方法分别在兔耳皮肤钝器伤后<0.5h,0.5h,1h,2h,3h,4h,5h,6h,8h,12h,24h,1d,3d,7d和死后10min,0.5h,1h取材,一步法提取组织总RNA,逆转录合成cDNA第一条链,荧光定量PCR检测IL-1β、COX-2和MCP-1mRNA逆转录合成第一条cDNA链的拷贝数,作统计学分析。结果IL-1βmRNA在钝器伤后<0.5h表达显著增强(P<0.001),0.5h达到峰值,至第2d降至基本水平;COX-2mRNA于创伤后0.5h表达显著增强(P<0.05)并持续强表达至24h开始下降,第2d降至正常;MCP-1 mRNA在钝器伤后于1h表达显著增强(P<0.05),于3h出现表达峰,至第3d降至正常;3个指标在死后各时间组与正常对照无明显表达差异。结论检测皮肤IL-1β、COX-2和MCP-1mRNA可对早期损伤时间的推断提供帮助,并且这三个指标都可以鉴别生前伤和死后伤。     

大鼠心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白在早期心肌缺血时的含量变化

目的 观察心肌缺血后不同时间段心肌细胞胞浆内和血浆中的心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白(H-FABP)含量变化。方法 按Selye法结扎大鼠左冠状动脉前降支复制心肌缺血模型,用免疫组织化学和酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)的方法,观察心肌缺血后不同时间H-FABP在心肌细胞和血浆中含量的变化规律。结果 心肌缺血15min时,缺血区心肌即可出现H-FABP缺失,随着缺血时间的延长,缺失的范围扩大,程度加重,与对照组相比差异有显著性;心肌缺血15min时,血浆H-FABP含量在心肌缺血15min时即明显升高,与对照组相比有显著性差异。随着缺血时间的延长,血浆含量逐渐上升,4h时达到高峰,以后逐渐下降。结论 心肌缺血后不同时间段心肌细胞胞浆内和血浆中的H-FABP含量变化呈现一定规律性,可望成为诊断早期心肌缺血所致的心源性猝死的敏感指标。     

过度机械通气致肺损伤TNF-α、IL-1β及NF-κBp65的表达

目的探讨过度机械通气致肺损伤后,炎症因子TNF-α、IL-1β及NF-κBp65在肺组织中不同时间表达的变化规律。方法将51只雄性新西兰大白兔分为正常组、对照组、实验组。利用呼吸机建立过度机械通气致肺损伤模型。应用免疫印迹技术观察兔急性肺损伤后肺组织中TNF-α、IL-1β及NF-κBp65的表达,并用凝胶图像处理系统进行分析,所得数据经SPSS 10.0统计软件处理。结果正常组与各对照组之间比较,均无明显差异(P>0.05)。TNF-α在损伤后0h表达即增加,1h达高峰,以后逐渐下降,而在24h后又有反弹性增高;其中在0.5、24、48h组有差异性(P<0.05),1、3h组有显著差异性(P<0.01)。IL-1β在损伤后0.5h逐渐增加,3h达高峰,以后逐渐下降,其中在1、6、12、24h组有差异性(P<0.05),3h组有显著差异性(P<0.01)。NF-κBp65在损伤后0.5h逐渐增加,6h达高峰,以后逐渐下降,其中在1、12h组有差异性(P<0.05),3、6h组有显著性差异(P<0.01)。结论TNF-α、IL-1β及NF-κBp65在过度机械通气致VILI发病中有重要作用;TNF-α、IL-1β及NF-κBp65在损伤早期即表达,且在时间上有一定的变化规律,可为损伤时间的推断提供参考。     

Ancillary studies in amniotic fluid embolism: a case report and review of the literature

The incidence of amniotic fluid embolism during pregnancy is approximately 1/50,000 and has a mortality rate in excess of 80%. The postmortem diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism can be challenging for forensic investigators and pathologists. At autopsy, usually signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation suggest an amniotic fluid embolism. A definitive diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism cannot be made until ancillary studies are performed on the decedent's tissues. We report a case of a 37-year-old G3P2 white female who was 36 weeks gestation when her membranes spontaneously ruptured. She suddenly became breathless, went into cardiogenic shock, and died. The autopsy revealed gross and microscopic findings of amniotic fluid embolism, which was confirmed with ancillary studies consisting of special stains, immunohistochemistry, and a serum tryptase level. The authors hope this case report, including gross and microscopic autopsy findings with procedural and ancillary studies, and review of the literature will help investigators and pathologists in the diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism.     

Amniotic fluid embolism as cause of death in a car accident--a case report

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), a relatively rare complication in pregnancy, has a high mortality rate. We describe a case of a 38-week pregnant woman with such an embolism leading to almost immediate death after a blunt abdominal trauma inflicted in a motor vehicle accident and probably associated with improper positioning of a seat belt. It has been assumed that the pathophysiology of amniotic fluid embolism is related to an anaphylactoid reaction and that mast cell degranulation indicates this mechanism. Moreover, immunohistochemical antitryptase staining of pulmonary tissue samples in our case revealed mast cell degranulation.

Sudden death in hemodialysis patients

Hemodialysis patients may die suddenly and unexpectedly from a number of causes. These may be divided into those deaths due directly to and occurring during hemodialysis, those deaths occurring while the patient is not undergoing dialysis, and those deaths that may occur at any time. The first group includes brain herniation, air embolism, acute hemorrhage as a result of machine malfunction or fistula rupture, electrocution, cardiac arrhythmia caused by hypokalemia, complications of subclavian intravenous catheter insertion, third-degree heart block as a result of triglyceride emulsion, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or hyperkalemia caused by overheated dialysate. The second group includes deaths due to pericardial tamponade because of effusion and suicidal causes of death (exsanguination, electrolyte imbalance as a result of excessive intake of salt, fluid, or potassium) as well as more conventional methods of suicide. The last category includes people dying of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, hypertensive cardiovascular disease, and internal hemorrhage. Investigation of these deaths, including pertinent historical, laboratory, and autopsy data and investigation of dialysis equipment, is discussed.

A case of fatal amniotic fluid embolism]

A 31-year-old pregnant woman (multipara), who was near the expected date of birth, was found dead in the joint flat by her partner. She was lying beside the bed and showed burns on the front of the body caused postmortem by contact with a radiator. Autopsy revealed a rupture of the fetal membranes, the inner layers of the uterus and a large vein. After centrifugation, the supernatant of the blood from the right half of the heart was turbid and contained small corpuscular amniotic fluid components. The diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism could be confirmed histologically. In the pulmonary vessels of the mother meconium, lanugo hairs and epidermic scales could be demonstrated; in addition the fetal horny lamellae were confirmed immunohistochemically (using monoclonal antibody against cytokeratin).     

Suicide by Intentional Air embolism

Venous air embolism occurs when air enters the venous system. The main causes of venous air embolism include medical procedures, neck and head trauma, and injuries of the genitals. Self‐induced suicidal (and intentional) air embolism is extremely rare. The authors report a rare case of a suicidal air embolism committed using a self‐made tool composed of a plastic bottle and an infusion set, injecting nearly 2000 mL of air into the cubital vein. The toxicological analysis suggested that midazolam, together with air, was also injected into the circulation using the same bottle and infusion set.
