Depression in late life: psychiatric-medical comorbidity

The links between late-life depression and the medical comorbidities that are often associated with it can be divided into two paths. The path from medical illness to depression reflects general mechanisms related to stress, disability, and loss, as well as more specific physiological mechanisms, including those related to subclinical cerebrovascular disease, adverse drug effects, and endocrine/metabolic effects. Similarly the path from depression to medical illness includes general mechanisms related to self-neglect, decreased adherence to medical treatments, maladaptive health-related behaviors, and, possibly, more specific physiological mechanisms including those related to altered endocrine and autonomic functions, in the clinical context, these two paths can interact to constitute a vicious cycle. With further research, it should be possible to translate current understanding in these areas into advances in both basic knowledge and treatments that could initiate virtuous cycles with beneficial effects for both menial and physical health.     

米索前列醇用于足月妊娠引产的效果观察

目的：观察５０μｇ 米索前列醇对晚期妊娠引产的有效性和安全性。方法：选择有引产指征的单胎、头位、胎膜完整的足月妊娠妇女２００ 例,随机分成两组,研究组（１００例）用米索前列醇５０μｇ 阴道用药,对照组（１００ 例）用人工破膜点滴小剂量催产素。结果：米索组足月妊娠引产成功率达７８％ ,催产素组成功率达４９％ ,其临产发动时间及总产程米索组为４．９ｈ、５．９３ｈ,催产素组为１４．３７ｈ、６．２７ｈ,分娩方式、新生儿体重、新生儿窒息及宫缩过强伴发胎心监护异常,两组比较差异无显著性（Ｐ＞ ０．０５）,但米索组剖宫产率低于催产素引产组,差异非常显著（（Ｐ＜ ０．０１）。结论：阴道放置米索前列醇用于足月妊娠引产能缩短产程,降低剖宫产率,是疗效显著、安全有效、方便的引产方法。     

Diabetic maculopathy induced by vitreo-macular traction: evaluation by optical coherence tomography (OCT)

Aim: To evaluate the role and efficacy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the evaluation of diabetic maculopathy induced by vitreo-retinal traction. Methods: 12 patients affected by diabetic maculopathy induced by vitreo-retinal traction were examined using biomicroscopy with a three-mirror contact lens, fluorescein angiography (FA) and OCT scanning in order to identify the presence of a vitreomacular traction. Results: OCT revealed two patterns of maculopathy which were characterised by a thickening of the superior profile of the OCT tomogram or by the disappearance and inversion of the physiologic foveal depression respectively. Conclusions: OCT may be useful in the characterisation and monitoring of diabetic maculopathy induced by vitreo-retinal traction. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Lipoprotein levels in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension

The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the levels of Lp(a), Apo(a), VLDL, LDL and HDL in 23 patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and in 20 control. The Mann-Whitney U tests was used for comparisons between the two groups. Serum Lp(a) and Apo(a) levels were sigificantly raise in the PIH group (p < 0.05 andp < 0.05 respectively) and no significant correlations could be demonstrated for other lipoproteins.     

Short time delays change pattern induced flicker colors (PIFCs)

Subjects decided on whether the colors of the rings on a modified Benham's top were the same or different. The cause of color differences was a variable time delay. Δt, of the black and white stimulus pattern on the disc. Time delays of Δt = 50 μsec and less caused detectable changes in color and brightness.     

Impaired cytotoxicity of lymphocytes from patients with cancer.

We have investigated the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes from 57 cancer patients and from 54 normal controls to exert cytotoxic activity in vitro on allogeneic target cells by using a residual tritiated proline assay. Phytohemagglutin was added to the cultures for potentiating the reaction. The cytotoxic potential of lymphocytes from cancer patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls. Increased survival of target cells was found in numerous reactions with patients' lymphocytes, probably reflecting a "feeder" effect. The source of plasma used for testing, i.e., autologous or pooled normal homologous plasma, did not affect the strength of cytotoxicity reactions displayed by lymphocytes from either normal or cancer patients. A lower reactivity was generally seen in patients with metastatic disease than in patients with no evidence of distant spread.
