Additive effects of earthworm extract with HpD-laser on the enhancement of reactive oxygen production and the inhibition of[~3H]—thymidine.uptake in mouse ascitic tumor cells

The effects of combined use of earthworm extract(912)and HpD-laser on the produc-tion of reactive oxygen and the biosynthesis of DNA in S_(180) tumor cells were studied throughchemiluminescence measurement and[~3H]-TdR incorporation assay.The results showed that as com-pared with the control,the intensity of chemiluminescence emitted by tumor cells treatedsimultaneously with 912 and HpD-laser was enhanced more than ten-folds,while that treated with912 or HpD-laser alone was increased only 2～4 folds.The[~3H]-TdR incorporation into tumorcells of the former group was inhibited upto 74.1%,and that of the latter groups decreased onlyby 42.2% and 40.0%,respectively.In accordance with these biochemical changes,the ultrastructuraldamage of tumor cells of the former,combinedly treated group appeared to be the most serious.This suggests an additive effect of 912 with HpD-laser on tumor cells.In addition,if free radicalscavengers,such as catalase and superoxide dismutase,were added to the reaction systembefore chemiluminescence assay,the luminescent enhancement effect mentioned above was dramaticallyalleviated,implying the presence of O_2~ and H_2O_2 in the system.Therefore,as to the toxic effecton tumor cells,912 and HpD-laser are not only additive in efficiency,but also similar in theunderlying mechanism of action.     

Low surface tension calcium hydroxide solution is an effective antiseptic

The antimicrobial effects of a saturated calcium hydroxide solution, and in combination with 10% and 20% detergent, were evaluated on Streptococcus faecalis. Strepto-coccus sanguis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, Neisseria sp., diphlheroid, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus suhtilis and Candida albicans. The saturated calcium hydroxide solution was effective against only four of the 11 microorganisms studied over a 60-min exposure time. The calcium hydroxide solutions con-taining detergent killed all 11 test organisms over a 30-min exposure time. This difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). No statistically significant difference in antimicrobial action was found between the 10% and 20% detergent calcium hydroxide solutions (F>0.01). However, the low surface tension (46.5 × 10^?3 Nm^?1) and high pH (10.8) of the calcium hydroxide solution with 20% detergent establish it as the more effective solution.     

Epilepsy in Ancient India

The ancient Indian medical system, Ayurveda, meaning science of life, is the oldest system of medicine in the world. Epilepsy is defined as Apasmara: apa, meaning negation or loss of; smara, meaning recollection or consciousness. Aura was recognized and was called Apasmara Poorva Roopa. A large number of symptoms indicative of aura were listed. Worthy of mention are subjective sensation of sounds, sensation of darkness, feeling of delusion, and dream-like state. An actual attack of Apasmara includes falling down; shaking of the hands, legs, and body; rolling up of the eyes; grinding of the teeth; and foaming at the mouth. Four major types of epilepsy based on the disturbance of doshas (humors) that govern the physiological and physiochemical activities of the body are mentioned. Apasmara is considered a dangerous disease that is chronic and difficult to treat. Several causes are mentioned. Treatment included correcting the etiological factors and dietary regimen and avoiding dangerous places that may result in injuries.     

单一电铃电路条件性行为疗法在建立儿童自主排尿反射中的作用研究

本工作在于探讨单一电铃电路条件性训练在建立儿童自主排尿反射中的治疗作用。采用新型研制的电铃电路床单，将电铃声刺激与膀胱充盈刺激有效的吻合起来，夜间训练遗尿患儿清醒后自主排尿。对年龄５～１０岁，经多项检查诊断确定为功能性遗尿的患儿（男１８名，女４名）２２人施行条件性行为训练方法。临睡的铺平电铃电路床单、患儿遗尿初期浸湿床单，引起铃响（患儿不惊醒时由母亲唤醒），患儿起床自主排尿。采用阳性强化法对患儿自主排尿进行巩固，给予原发以及继发性奖赏。结果：单一电铃电路条件性训练平均１２个有效治疗日后，９４．９７％（１８／１９）患儿遗尿症状消失，其中效果最佳者仅用了３个有效治疗日，最后长的达３０个有效治疗日，２人因故中断治疗，１人治疗无效。可见，单一行为方法是一条治疗儿童功能性遗尿的有效措施。     

国产人α＿1型基因工程干扰素治疗慢性肝炎Ⅲ期临床试验

３９例慢性肝炎患者，其中乙型肝炎１２例，丙型肝炎２７例，接受人α＿１型基因工程干扰素治疗（ｒＨＩＦＮα＿１）。１０例丙型肝炎病人ｒＨＩＦＮα＿１每日肌注１×１０￣６Ｕ，连用９０天，１７例丙型肝炎病人和乙型肝炎ｒＨＩＦＮα＿１每日肌注３×１０￣６Ｕ，连用９０天。治疗后乙型肝炎组ＨＢｅＡｇ和ＨＢＶＤＮＡ的阴转率均为４１．６７％；丙型肝炎用１×１０￣６Ｕ／ｄ和３×１０￣６Ｕ／ｄ组ＨＣＶＲＮＡ阴转率分别为５０％和６４．７％，两个剂量组阴转率比较差异无显著性（Ｐ＞０．０５），治疗期间不良反应发生率较低，远期疗效尚待观察。     

影响部队汽车驾驶员心身健康水平和行车安全的相关因素研究

对部队汽车驾驶员203名的心身健康和行车安全的相关因素研究表明:驾驶员可发生心身障碍,尤其眼和耳、呼吸系统,骨胳肌肉系统及抑郁等为著。其影响因素,主要有负性精神紧张总值(-Lcu)、个性的精神质、神经质、掩饰性、内向倾向、开车公里数、开车年限及精神疾病家族史。某些心身问题、神经质、掩饰性较高、年龄偏大、开车公里数多及开车年限长等与事故差错的发生有关。
