Chronic inflammation and risk of lung cancer in older adults in the health,aging and body composition cohort study

Objectives

We examined the association between three inflammatory markers (Interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) and incident lung cancer using baseline, updated, and averaged inflammatory measures in older adults.

地黄饮子治疗暗痱证研究概况

地黄饮子是治疗暗痱证的重要方剂，但历代医家对其具体组方多有歧义，病因病机也较为混乱，令人难以理解与把握。其中《圣济总录》卷五十一方为常用方，主治瘖痱证，现代医家常将其应用于中风后遗症的诊疗中。本文从组方意义、药理机制、现代临床应用叙述地黄饮子治疗暗痱证的研究概况，以期更好地服务于临床。     

Chemical composition,protein profile and physicochemical properties of whey protein concentrate ingredients enriched in α-lactalbumin

The objective of this study was to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional composition, physicochemical properties and protein profile of three different whey protein concentrate ingredients enriched in α-lactalbumin (LAC). The LAC ingredients studied were manufactured using different enrichment approaches, namely membrane filtration (LAC-M), selective precipitation (LAC-P) and ion exchange (LAC-IE), and were compared to benchmark whey protein concentrate (WPC) and skim milk powder (SMP) ingredients with unaltered protein profile. The LAC ingredients had heterogeneous chemical composition and protein profile, which depended on the enrichment approach used. Protein profile of LAC ingredients was dominant in α-lactalbumin and therefore higher in tryptophan when compared to the benchmark ingredients. Unlike LAC-M and LAC-IE, LAC-P had a very complex protein profile. The new information provided by this study for these novel added-value whey protein ingredients will support the development of next-generation dairy-based formulated nutritional products.     

胆石的回声强度和化学成分关系的研究

目的：评价回声强度可否预测胆石的化学性质和结构特点。方法：６２例胆石症患者进行Ｂ超检查，测量胆石的回声强度（ＥＬ）。以红外光谱仪定量分析所有胆石的四种主要化学成分。结果：ＥＬ《１００（７例），１０１～１４０（２２例），１４１～１８０（２５例），》１８０（８例）。四组间胆固醇，胆红素及胆红素钙的含量无显著差异（Ｐ＞００５，但》１８０组中碳酸钙的含量显著高于其它三组。ＥＬ与碳酸钙的含量呈显著正相关（Ｐ＜００１，ｒ＝０７９），而与其它三种无相关。结论：ＥＬ可用于预测胆石的碳酸钙含量及钙化情况，但不能用于预测其它三种化学成分     

Composition chimique des calculs urinaires et caractéristiques épidémiologiques associées en République Démocratique du Congo

To compare the chemical composition of the upper and lower urinary tract stones in Congolese patients, and to identify factors associated with the different types of stones. Stones from 119 patients originating from the upper tract and 75 from the lower tract were analyzed by infrared spectrophotometry. Among 119 patients with upper tract stones, age ranged from 10 to 81 years with a mean (SD) of 45.8 (13.6) years; males were the majority (55.5%). The main types of stones identified were whewellite (79%). For the 75 patients with lower apparatus stones, age ranged from 4 to 87 years with a mean (SD) of 51.6 (21.6) years; the majority were males (89.3%). The main types of stones were whewellite (44%) and anhydrous uric acid (22.7%). Overall, the factors associated with calcium oxalate included: site [4.95 (95% CI 2.35-10.44)] and diameter [3.03 (95% CI 1.45–6.25)]; patient's place of residence [0.05 (95% CI 0.01–0.29)] was associated with calcium phosphate. Infection stones were associated with; site [0.19 (95% CI 0.06–0.63)] and diameter [0.10 (95% CI 0.03–0.38)]. Finally, age 0.26 (95% CI 0.09–0.71) and stone site [0.23 (95% CI 0.07–0.68)] were associated with uric stones. The epidemiological and chemical profile of upper and lower tract stones were different. Several factors were associated with the chemical and crystalline composition of stones in the Democratic Republic of Congo.     

结构变动度在住院费用构成变动中的应用

目的 探讨降低医疗费用的对策.方法 运用结构变动度和环比增长速度指标,分析2008年-2013年费用构成变动的情况.结果 费用构成变动比较合理,其他费和检查费是引起费用结构变动上升的主要费用项目,二者累积贡献率高达42.44％,护理费结构变动增幅较慢,仅为4.10％,说明在体现医生技术服务价值的同时,也应适当提高护理人员的技术服务价值,药品费、诊疗费、手术费是引起住院费用结构变动下降的主要费用项目,三者累积贡献率高达45.92％,说明了我院优化了收费结构,强化了管理意识.结论 优化医疗收入结构,有重点的控制主要因素,以较低的成本及合理收费,最大限度的满足患者医疗需求,实现医疗费用的理性回归.
