改良《颈性眩晕症状与功能评估量表》在椎动脉型颈椎病中医临床中的应用及评价

目的探讨改良《颈性眩晕症状与功能评估量表》在椎动脉型颈椎病(CSA)的中医临床中的应用可行性。方法151例CSA患者随机分为针灸推拿治疗组和单针灸对照组,治疗前后采用改良《颈性眩晕症状与功能评估量表》进行量化评估,并对该量表在本次中医临床中的效度及信度进行初步检验。结果治疗组治疗后症状与功能评分比治疗前有显著提高(p<0.01),治疗组改善指数明显高于对照组(p<0.05)。经检验,该量表也有可以接受的准则效度(r在0.8-0.9之间,p<0.01)和再测信度(r在0.6-0.9之间,p<0.01)。结论针灸推拿结合治疗CSA具有确切的临床疗效,能明显改善患者症状、颈椎功能和生活质量。改良《颈性眩晕症状与功能评估量表》在CSA中医临床中具有可信性、有效性。     

全面康复:勃起功能障碍治疗的新目标

5型磷酸二酯酶(PDE5)抑制剂有效改善勃起功能障碍(ED)患者的勃起功能。枸橼酸西地那非的应用范围不断扩展,肺动脉高压已成为新的适应证。临床研究发现,西地那非能改善多种血管性疾病患者的内皮功能。在ED领域的研究进展包括:动物实验发现,西地那非可以改善海绵体内皮功能,增强磷酸化内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)蛋白表达,逆转缺血或缺氧导致的海绵体内压(ICP)降低。临床研究证实,西地那非可以使50%以上ED患者阴茎勃起恢复到最充分的硬度(4级勃起);使50%以上保留神经的根治性前列腺切除术后患者勃起功能康复,自发产生足以性交的勃起;使ED患者的自尊心、自信心和性关系满意度等社会心理功能恢复正常。从勃起功能到社会心理功能的全面恢复可能成为今后ED治疗的新目标。     

老年髋部骨折术后患者康复需求程度与康复状况调查

目的了解老年髋部骨折术后患者康复需求程度、需求满足度与康复状况的关系.方法上门随访82例老年髋部骨折术后患者家庭康复现状和康复需求情况.结果康复需求10个维度中他人支持、康复信息及功能训练指导位居前3位;需求程度与生理功能、躯体功能和社会功能有关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);与髋关节功能评分中的疼痛程度、上楼梯、穿鞋袜和行走距离4个方面有关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).结论出院后定期给予针对性的康复训练指导和健康教育是患者迫切的需求;康复需求程度高者,相应需求满足率低,其生活质量及髋关节功能恢复应成为干预的重点.     

Klinefelter's Syndrome: Hypogonadism,abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. Is it a result of biotin deficiency?

The aetiology of Klinefelter's Syndrome is not known. The causative factor(s) must explain the hypogonadism, low androgen levels, the disordered carbohydrate metabolism and the commonly associated psychiatric conditions. A biotin deficient/dependent state can account for the above. A biotin deficient Klinefelter's Syndrome patients with the above is described. The possible role of biotin in the primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of Klinefelter's Syndrome needs further research.     

关节镜技术的历史与新进展

现代的关节镜从膀胱镜演变而来，创伤小，适用广泛。近年膝关节镜技术在半月板病变处理上有逆行全切法等新方法，交叉韧带重建、软骨移植成为研究热点；关节镜技术除应用于肩关节及其它小间隙关节，还开展治疗弹响髓等关节外应用；个性化康复锻炼提高了手术疗效。     

Cardiac rehabilitation and return to work after coronary artery bypass surgery

The work situation of 66 male patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) and who had been randomly allocated to receive cardiac rehabilitation (group R) was compared with the work situation of 59 similar patients allocated to receive only standard care (group H). The follow-up time was one year. The proportions of subjects working in groups R and H were 26% and 20% (p=ns) before the CABS, 45% and 34% (p=ns) 6 months and 56% and 38% (p=ns) 12 months after the CABS, repectively. The increase in proportion of subjects who worked was significant in both groups at both 6 and 12 months after the CABS (p<0.05 for all changes). The increases were not significantly different between the whole groups, but in patients younger than 55 years of age, return to work was more frequent in group R than in group H (at 12 months 60% vs. 35%, p for the difference in change=0.02). Stepwise logistic regression analysis of the factors influencing return to work showed that a patient's judgement of his own working capacity as good 6 months after CABS (odds ratio (OR) 8.5, confidence interval (CI) 2.3–32.0), functional class 16 months after the CABS (OR 6.7, CI 1.8–24.5), his desire to work (OR 6.4, CI 1.6–26.0) and absence from work of less than 3 months before the CABS (OR 4.9, CI 1.2–20.2) were significant positive predictors of return to work 1 year after the CABS.     

卒中急性期病人中医综合康复护理效果观察

[目的]探讨中医综合康复护理对卒中急性期病人神经功能缺损及日常生活能力（ADL）的影响。[方法]选择2004年9月-2006年9月在3家协作医院住院的卒中急性期238例病人为研究对象，随机分为实验组和对照组，两组药物治疗基本相同。实验组按中医综合康复护理方案进行护理．对照组采用卒中护理常规进行护理。对入选的病人在入院第1周内和4周后进行神经功能缺损及ADL的评定。[结果]4周后实验组在临床神经功能缺损、ADL等方面明显优于对照组，差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）。[结论]中医综合康复护理可促进肢体的功能恢复，提高病人的ADL。     

Graduate Education in the Field of Substance Abuse

Abstract: Twenty-six part-time students from a variety of professional backgrounds are enrolled in the first year of a Graduate Diploma in Social Science (Drug Dependence) at the Phillip Institute of Technology in Victoria. The course is conducted under the auspices of the School of Social Work and commenced in 1984. It is argued that the graduates from this unique course could play a key role in providing personnel to fill positions in the areas of clinical work, staff development, drug education, programme development and management and research.
