Improved sib-pair linkage test for disease susceptibility loci

An improved sib-pair test for linkage is introduced which is superior to the previously proposed tests. The test is derived from the standard chi-squared goodness of fit statistic by restricting the alternative hypothesis to the genetically possible. Critical values are given and exact power comparisons are made with the previously proposed tests. The new test is shown to be more powerful for finite samples as well as being asymptotically uniformly most powerful. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

孔边裂纹J积分失效评定曲线

计算了单边椭圆缺口试件（ＳＥＮＣＰ）高应变区裂纹的Ｊ积分失效评定曲线（ＦＡＣ），考察了影响ＦＡＣ的几种因素。结果表明：在外加载荷与塑性屈服载荷之比（Ｌｒ）１．０时，用Ｒ６通用失效评定曲线进行结构高应变区裂纹断裂评定与疲劳剩余寿命估算是安全的。     

Exteroceptive suppression periods in jaw-closing muscles. Variability and relation to experimental pain and sustained muscle contraction

The duration of the late exteroceptive suppression period (ES₂) of temporal muscle EMG activity has been reported to be reduced in patients suffering from chronic tension-type headache. Methods of recording and analysing ES₂ have varied between centers and reproducibility of results within subjects , although insufficiently studied, has generally been poor. ES₂ was investigated in 30 healthy subjects, using a computerized technique of recording, rectifying and averaging the EMG signals. Hour to hour and week to week variations of ES₂ durations were calculated, and the influence of pain during a cold pressor test and of sustained muscle contraction on ES₂ durations was investigated. The intra-individual variation of ES₂ durations was 16.0% from hour to hour and 20.7% from week to week. The inter-individual variation was 36.7%. The present method for analysis of ES₂ periods proved to be reliable, as the intra-observer variation was 4.2% and the inter-observer variation 4.6%. ES₂ periods were significantly shorter on the first compared to the second day of examination ( p = 0.006) and during experimental pain ( p = 0.0005). We recommend the use of the computerized averaging technique in future studies and caution against the dependence of results upon factors such as conditioning and pain.     

广东78种食物的不溶性膳食纤维含量分析

本文采用中性洗涤剂法测定了广东78种食物的不溶性膳食纤维含量,结果提示,不溶性膳食纤维的平均含量:干豆坚果类为7.12％,鲜果类为1.93％,根茎类为1.55％,叶菜类为1.31％,粮谷类为1.27％,茄瓜类为1.15％。其中干豆坚果类与茄瓜类、粮谷类、叶菜类、根茎类和鲜果类的含量差别极显著(P<0.01),而后五类食物的含量相互间差别不显著(P>0.05)。粮谷类的变异系数较大(CV:142％)。其中以加工较深的米面及其制品较低(0.31％—0.72％),而未深加工的玉米、薏米的含量则高(2.48％—6.08％)。

应用Meta分析有效估计人群归因危险度百分比的探讨

人群归因危险度百分比 (populationattributableriskproportion ,PARP)是总体人群中某种疾病归因于某种因素的暴露所引起的发病 (死亡 )占全部发病 (死亡 )的百分比 ,反映该因素所引起的发病 (死亡 )占全部发病 (死亡 )的比重。通过PARP可了解各危险因素对人群中某疾病的发病所产生的影响 ,亦即消除某危险因素后 ,所产生的对预防该疾病的效果将占有多大比重。它能够为卫生政策的制订提供依据 ,有着重要的公共卫生的实际意义。目前常用的估计PARP的方法有两种 :一种是利用全国人群抽样调查获得的人群总暴露率来估计 ;另一种是利用某地区…     

Randomized clinical trial of ascorbic acid in the treatment of pressure ulcers

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of ascorbic acid supplementation, 500 mg twice daily in the treatment of pressure ulcers as an adjunct to standardized treatment.

The design consisted of a multicenter blinded randomized trial. The control group received 10 mg of ascorbic acid twice daily.

Patients from 11 nursing homes and 1 hospital participated.

Main outcome measures included wound survival, healing rates of wound surfaces, and clinimetric changes over 12 weeks.

Eighty-eight patients were randomized. Intention-to-treat analysis showed that the wound closure probability per unit time (i.e., the closure rate) was not higher in the intervention group than in the control group (Cox hazard ratio of 0.78 [90% precision interval, 0.44–1.39]). Mean absolute healing rates were 0.21 and 0.27 cm²/week in the intervention and control group, respectively (PI of the adjusted difference: −0.17 to 0.13). Relative healing rates and healing velocities did not show favorable results of ascorbic acid supplementation, either. A panel scored slides of the ulcers with a report mark between 1 (bad) and 10 (excellent). The improvement was 0.45 and 0.72 points per week in the intervention and control group, respectively (PI of the adjusted difference: −0.50 to 0.20). With another clinimetric index we could not show any differences, either.

These data do not support the idea that ascorbic acid supplementation (500 vs. 10 mg twice daily) speeds up the healing of pressure ulcers.
