JX-1对雄性小鼠生殖细胞致突变作用的研究

本文采用小鼠精子试验和小鼠睾丸DNA合成抑制试验,检测了JX-1对雄性生殖细胞的致突变作用。实验结果表明JX-1对小鼠精子总数、精子活动率及精子畸形率均无统计学意义的增加,与小鼠睾丸DNA合成抑制试验阴性反应一致。作者认为JX-1对雄性生殖细胞为一种非诱变剂。

Conditional estimation of sensitivity and specificity from a phase 2 biomarker study allowing early termination for futility

Development of a disease screening biomarker involves several phases. In phase 2 its sensitivity and specificity is compared with established thresholds for minimally acceptable performance. Since we anticipate that most candidate markers will not prove to be useful and availability of specimens and funding is limited, early termination of a study is appropriate, if accumulating data indicate that the marker is inadequate. Yet, for markers that complete phase 2, we seek estimates of sensitivity and specificity to proceed with the design of subsequent phase 3 studies. We suggest early stopping criteria and estimation procedures that adjust for bias caused by the early termination option. An important aspect of our approach is to focus on properties of estimates conditional on reaching full study enrollment. We propose the conditional‐UMVUE and contrast it with other estimates, including naïve estimators, the well‐studied unconditional‐UMVUE and the mean and median Whitehead‐adjusted estimators. The conditional‐UMVUE appears to be a very good choice. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

39例慢性肾衰竭患者认知功能下降的调查

目的通过神经心理测试等手段,探讨慢性肾衰竭(CRF)患者的认知状态。方法对39例40～60岁临床确诊为慢性肾衰竭的患者进行神经心理测试及人格和情绪状况测查,并对认知状态进行整体评定及分析。结果慢性肾衰竭患者认知功能测验成绩均低于对照组,并与人格的"精神质"和"情绪性"、健康自评等心理因素有关。"精神质"和"情绪性"越强,健康自评越差,认知障碍就越严重。慢性肾衰竭患者的焦虑和抑郁程度比对照组严重。结论慢性肾衰竭患者存在着认知能力下降,且与躯体和心理因素有关,并且随着肾功能的恶化,这种表现更加明显。     

原发性肝癌患者术前肝储备功能的预测和术后评价

目的 运用脉动色素浓度法(PDD)测定吲哚氰绿潴留率(ICGR15)及有效肝脏血流量(EHBF)评估原发性肝癌患者术前肝脏的储备功能.方法 对55例原发性肝癌患者术前应用PDD法检测ICGR15和EHBF并根据ICGR15分为3组,并行Child-Pugh评分;根据术后肝功的恢复情况将患者分为肝功能恢复良好(G)、轻度不全(M)和重度不全组(S).分析ICGR15三组中术后肝功不全的发生率以及在不同肝功恢复组中ICGR15、EHBF与Child-Pugh评分比较.结果 术后肝功不全在ICGR15三组中的发生率差异具有统计学意义(P＜0.05);肝功恢复不同组间ICGR15、EHBF同Child-Pugh评分比较具有显著性差异(P＞0.05);在不同的Child-Pugh分级之间,ICGR15及EHBF值差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).结论 ICGR15、EHBF比传统Child-Pugh评分可以更准确的评估肝储备功能并指导确定手术方案.     

咳嗽变异型哮喘多项检测指标的Bayes判别分析

目的探讨咳嗽变异型哮喘（CVA）肺功能、气道弹性阻力、支气管激发试验、最大呼气峰流量（PEF）日内波动率[△PEFR（％）]、支气管肺泡灌洗液（BALF）细胞学以及血清IgE的变化特点及诊断意义。方法对22例CVA、20例慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）稳定期患者以及20名健康成年人进行最大呼气流量-容积曲线（MEFV曲线）、气道弹性阻力、支气管激发试验、[△PEFR（％）]、BALF细胞学分析以及血清IgE测定。结果（1）CVA患者呼气流量指标[PEF、一秒用力呼气容积（FEV1）、FEV，／FVC、最大呼气中段流量（MMEF）]与健康对照组比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。CVA组气道弹性阻力增高，与健康对照组比较差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01），但与COPD组比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）；（2）CVA组患者气道反应性明显增高，支气管激发试验阳性，Mch—PC20-FEV1明显降低、[APEFR（％）]增大（〉20％）、BALF中嗜酸性粒细胞明显增高、血清IgE明显增高与健康对照组及COPD组比较差异有统计学意义（均P〈0．01）。结论气道弹性阻力、支气管激发试验、[APEFR（％）]、BALF细胞学以及血清IgE的测定有助于CVA的诊断且与COPD等的鉴别。根据Bayes判别结果，鉴别CVA与COPD的上述病因学指标作用大小依次为Mch—PC20-FEV1、JgE、[△PEFR（％）]、BALF嗜酸性粒细胞计数、FEV1／FVC、FEV1、PEF、MMEF和气道弹性阻力，其中主要为Mch—PC20-FEV1、IgE、[APEFR（％）]、BALF嗜酸性粒细胞计数。     

中美中学生对由父母原因引起的考试焦虑认知研究

目的：比较中国和美国的中学生对由父母原因引起的考试焦虑的认知情况。方法：采用“失败结果预期（FOE）”问卷中的由父母原因引起的考试焦虑12项，测量中美两国公立学校14、15岁的1215名中学生对考试焦虑原因的认知。结果：1．相似认知：两国学生在由父母原因引起的考试焦虑方面有类似的认知，包括父母会担心自己能否进入高一级学校、会让父母烦恼等。2．跨文化的差异：表现为中国学生更多是因为父母责备、辜负了父母期望或会让父母生气而导致考试焦虑；而美国学生更多是由于父母认为他们不能面对生活中的挑战而产生焦虑。3．性别差异：表现在美国的女中学生在7个项目上、中国的男中学生在2个项目上分别比本国异性有更大程度的焦虑（P〈0．05）。结论：中美中学生对由父母原因引起的考试焦虑方面有类似的认知，但存在文化差异和性别差异。     

Assessment of anti-inflammatory activity of Poria cocos in sodium lauryl sulphate-induced irritant contact dermatitis

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of Poria cocos (PoCo) on experimentally induced irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) in a repeated sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) irritation model. METHODS: The anti-irritative effect of PoCo was evaluated with a visual score and quantified by non-invasive bioengineering methods, namely chromametry and transepidermal water loss. Three concentrations of PoCo in base cream DAC (amphiphilic emollient; German pharmacopoeia) were tested in a 4-day repetitive irritation test using SLS. RESULTS: A statistically significant anti-inflammatory activity was observed for PoCo by all three methods when applied in parallel to the induction period of ICD. Application of PoCo after induction of ICD once a day for 5 days, starting just at the end of 4 days, was without any effect. CONCLUSION: An anti-inflammatory efficacy of PoCo on the elicitation phase of the ICD induced by repeated SLS test could be observed and quantified by three independent, non-invasive biophysical assessment parameters. This effect can be explained by its influence on pro-inflammatory enzymes, namely phospholipase A2.
