神经调节素1基因SNPrs2954041多态性与精神分裂症及其认知功能的关联研究

目的探讨昆明地区汉族人群神经调节素1(NRG-1)基因SNPrs2954041多态性与精神分裂症及认知功能的关系。方法采用聚合酶链反应限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)的方法检测141例精神分裂症患者和84名正常对照的NRG-1基因SNPrs2954041多态性;采用韦氏记忆量表(WMS)和威斯康辛卡片分类测验(WCST)评估两组人群的记忆功能和执行功能,并用PANSS量表评定患者的临床症状。结果两组NRG-1基因SNPrs2954041多态性的基因型和等位基因频率差异有统计学意义(2=34.01,P<0.05;2=30.201,P<0.05)。按性别分组后比较,结果仍同前。患者组中各基因型组间认知功能比较结果示:①各基因型组间韦氏记忆量表的理解记忆得分差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),两两比较显示G/G与T/T基因型患者间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。②G/G与T/T基因型患者比较,威斯康辛卡片分类测验中的错误数、持续错误数和分类个数差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论NRG1基因SNPrs2954041多态性与精神分裂症存在关联,他也与精神分裂症患者的认知功能相关。     

成年人智力发育与年龄和教育的关系

本文对韦氏成人智力量表中国修订本２５岁及其以上成年人城乡样本共１９７６人在校正各年龄组的文化程度以后，比较了年龄和教育因素对成年人智力发展的影响。结果发现：与晶体智力有关的测验成绩并不随年龄增大而下降，某些测验（如知识；领悟等）甚至呈上升趋势；与流体智力有关的测验成绩随年龄的增大而下降；而测量精神运动速度（数字符号测验）的成绩受年龄影响最为明显。看来流体－晶体智力理论能较好地解释成年人的典型智力发     

Lung function, smoking and survival in severe alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, PiZZ

Lung function, smoking, age and mortality data in 158 adult severe alpha₁-antitrypsin deficient, PiZZ individuals, followed from 1963 to 1982 were analyzed. Low initial FEV₁ value was significantly associated with increased mortality (p < 0.005). A 3 yr mortality rate of 40% was found in individuals whose initial FEV₁ values were less than 30% of that predicted. In contrast, the corresponding 3-yr mortality among those whose initial FEV₁ values were between 30 and 65% of that predicted was only 7%. Smokers were found to have significantly lower FEV₁ levels (p = 0.008) and higher mortality (p < 0.005) than non-smokers. The difference between current and ex-smokers in mortality and FEV₁ level were not statistically significant (p = 0.9 and p>0.25, respectively). Cross-sectional analysis of the initial FEV₁ values indicated a significant decline (p < 0.005) of FEV₁ with increasing age. This decline was greater among smokers than non-smokers. Longitudinal analysis of FEV₁ rates of decline in 80 cases with follow-up FEV₁ measurements failed to detect any significant differences between smokers and non-smokers, but was performed late in the disease process. The application of these results to the planning of studies on replacement therapy, smoking intervention strategy and longitudinal follow-up is discussed.     

东北边境地区吸血蠓的调查研究

1980～1988年在东北边境的漠河、珲春县等10个县区采获吸血蠓2属37种,其中发现4个新种和4个国内新记录。不显库蠓(35.7％)和刺螯库蠓(34.9％)为优势蠓种。不同生境、场所和季节的蠓种组成有所不同。灰黑库蠓、淡角库蠓和端斑库蠓在整个活动季节均只出现一次高峰,而不显库蠓、刺螫库蠓和兴安库蠓在整个活动季节均出现两次高峰。刺螫库蠓的活动季节最长,为11旬,端斑库蠓最短,仅为5旬。刺螫库蠓、不显库蠓、兴安库蠓和灰黑库蠓在昼夜24小时均出现晨、昏两次活动高峰,而边缘库蠓只在凌晨出现一次晨峰。     

A Single-Blind, Crossover Comparison of the Pharmacokinetics and Cognitive Effects of a New Diazepam Rectal Gel with Intravenous Diazepam

Summary: Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics and cognitive effects of a new diazepam (DZP) rectal gel (Diastat®) with intravenously administered DZP.
Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled in a single-blind, randomized, double-dummy, two-period, crossover study. Subjects received either 15 mg of DZP rectal gel or 7.5 mg of DZP by intravenous infusion. Blood samples for DZP and desmethyldiazepam analysis were obtained before the dose and from 3 min to 240 h after the dose. Heart rate and blood pressure were measured over the first 24-h period. Subjects also completed five repetitions of a neuropsychological test battery over the first 8-h period.
Results: Diazepam rapidly appeared in plasma after rectal administration, exceeding 200 ng/mL within 15 min and reaching an initial maximum of 373 ng/ml at 45 min and a second maximum of 447 ± 91.1 ng/ml at ∼70 min. The absolute bioavailability of DZP rectal gel was 90.4%. Subjects receiving intravenous DZP were less alert and performed less efficiently on the WAIS Digit Symbol test 6 min after the dose. Subjects receiving DZP rectal gel performed less well on the WAIS Digit Span test 1 h after the dose and required more time to complete the Letter Cancellation and Grooved Pegboard tests 1 and 2 h after drug administration.
Conclusions: Diastat® displayed rapid, consistent absorption and was well tolerated. Alterations in cognition were mild and dissipated within 4 h of drug administration. This new rectal drug-delivery system offers an easy, safe, and bioavailable method to administer DZP.     

Triazolam-induced changes in alcoholic thought processes

 This study was designed to examine and contrast cognitive effects (explicit memory and access to semantic knowledge) of the benzodiazepine Halcion (triazolam) in ten normal volunteers and ten cognitively unimpaired detoxified alcoholics. The two groups were indistinguishable from one another under placebo conditions on all measures of cognitive functioning. Under Halcion test conditions (0.375 mg PO), both groups were about equally impaired in their recall of to-be-remembered information. However, alcoholics, were more likely to recall information that they were not asked to remember (intrusion errors) on all measures of explicit remembering. Alcoholics also generated relatively uncommon (low frequency) responses from semantic memory, rather than common, categorically related associations in response to stimuli such as types of vegetables, flowers, and fruit following the administration of Halcion, but were not different from normal volunteers in the types of responses generated under placebo conditions. These findings suggest that a drug challenge that simulates many of the effects of acute alcohol administration induces alcoholics to think and remember differently (qualitatively) from normal volunteers.

老年人主观认知下降与慢性病共病的相关性分析

背景 主观认知下降（SCD）是阿尔茨海默病（AD）早期预防的目标阶段,AD与慢性病共病关系密切,但二者间相关性尚不十分明确。目的 探究老年人SCD与慢性病共病的相关性,为AD早期预防和干预提供理论依据。方法 于2021年1月至2022年6月,在广州市城市生活小区和养老机构以便利抽样法抽取≥60岁的老年人612例。采用基础版蒙特利尔认知评估量表（MoCA-B）、临床痴呆量表（CDR）、Hachinski缺血指数量表（HIS）评定客观认知功能水平,通过SCD标准诊断框架和SCD问卷（SCD-Q9）进行分组,将整体客观认知水平无异常、符合SCD标准诊断框架和SCD-Q9≥5分的老年人分入SCD组,将整体客观认知功能无异常和SCD-Q9<5分的老年人为认知无异常（CN）组。采用一般资料问卷收集老年人的社会人口学（性别、年龄、居住地、受教育年限、婚姻状况、退休前职业类型、月收入）和健康相关资料[体质指数、腰围、吸烟习惯、饮酒习惯、饮茶习惯、锻炼频率、午觉习惯及平均时长、睡眠质量、抑郁及焦虑症状、日常生活活动能力（ADL）],其中睡眠质量、抑郁症状、焦虑症状及ADL分别采用匹兹堡睡眠指数量表...
