Background
Training in medicine is emotionally demanding. Psychological well being of medical students is a matter of concern. There is lack of Indian studies in this area.Methods
A total of 105 medical student of one batch were assessed utilizing psychophysiological state inventory, Institute for personality and ability testing (IPAT) anxiety and depression scale, achievement motivation scale, scale for locus of control and 16 PF in three phases at one-year intervals.Result
Majority of the students had average achievement, motivation and adaptability. Anxiety and depression scores fell within normal limits. In personality profile factor ‘B’, ‘M’ and ‘Q41’ had changed significantly. Achievement motivation showed significant decreases and CSS1 and PO1 scores showed significant increase during the years of medical education.Conclusion
The results demonstrate that over satisfaction and relaxed attitude may have poor academic outcome.Key Words: Psychological well-being, Anxiety, Depression, Achievement motivation 相似文献2.

Background
Our purpose was to investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscope-assisted acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction in combination with double endobutton coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction for the treatment of complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation.Methods
During the period from February 2010 to October 2012, ten patients with Rockwood types IV and V acromioclavicular joint dislocation were hospitalized and nine were treated with acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction combined with double endobutton of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction. The improvement in shoulder functions was assessed using a Constant score and visual analog scale (VAS) system.Results
The mean follow-up period was 33.6 ± 5.4 months. The mean Constant scores improved from 25.2 ± 6.6 preoperatively to 92.4 ± 6.5 postoperatively, while the mean VAS score decreased from 5.9 ± 1.4 to 1.2 ± 0.9; significant differences were observed. The final follow-up revealed that excellent outcomes were achieved in eight patients and good outcome in two patients.Conclusion
Arthroscope-assisted acromioclavicular ligament reconstruction in combination with double endobutton of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is an effective approach for treatment of acute complete acromioclavicular joint dislocation. 相似文献3.

Background
Abnormalities of catecholaminergic function have been hypothesised in causation of depressive illness. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is postulated to have noradrenergic mechanism of action. We studied the clinical utility of estimating catecholamines level changes after ECT.Methods
Plasma adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine in healthy controls and depressed patients were estimated by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection method before and after ECT.Result
Mean ± standard deviation of plasma adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine in controls was 36.7 ± 13.2, 209.3 ± 76, 21.8 ± 9.5 ng/L respectively, while in depressed patients before and after ECT it was found to be 32.5 ± 12.0, 419.3 ± 167.7, 22.1 ± 16.0ng/ L and 37.2 ± 19.6, 386.1 ± 168.4, 22.3 ± 15.5ng/L respectively. Correlation of adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine concentration with scores of Beck Depression Inventory, Suicidal Ideation Scale and Melancholia Inventory was positive but statistically not significant and poor. Based on the cut off values of noradrenaline, only 62% cases could be categorized as abnormal, which after ECT reduced to 50%, whereas post ECT psychiatric ratings was normal in about 78% cases.Conclusion
There is no clinical significance of estimating adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine in depressed patients.Key Words: Electroconvulsive therapy, Adrenaline, Noradrenaline, Dopamine, Psychiatric scales 相似文献4.

Aim
To evaluate left ventricle (LV) diastolic function dynamics in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after combined operation of coronary artery bypass graft with LV aneurismectomy (CABG + AE) according to the results of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).Methods
Forty patients after AMI underwent Doppler echocardiography (EchoCG) with TDI and M‐mode colour‐flow imaging before and in 3 and 12 months after CABG + AE. Mitral annulus (MA) TDI with velocity indices was performed in 4 segments of LV.Results
Conventional transmitral diastolic Doppler indices before and after CABG + AE remained unchanged. TDI showed significant improvement of LV systolic (systolic movement velocity S: 6.1±0.8, 7.4±1.2 and 6.9±1.3 cm/sec. before and in 3 and 12 months after the operation, respectively, p<0.01) and diastolic function after the operation (MA early diastolic movement velocity ( e''): 7.3 ± 2.1, 8.4 ± 1.5 and 8.9 ± 1.8 cm/s.; ratio of transmitral early‐flow velocity (E) to MA early‐diastolic movement velocity (E/e''): 18.4 ± 2.2, 12.3 ± 1.8 and 11.5 ± 2.3; ratio of E diastolic flow propagation velocity (Vp) 3.1 ± 0.45, 2.2 ± 0.38 and 1.8 ± 0.16 before and in 3 and 12 months after the operation, respectively, p<0.01).Conclusions
Results of the study demonstrate significant improvement of LV diastolic function in the patient after CABG + AE according to TDI, regardless of transmitral flow pattern. TDI is more sensitive and preload independent method of LV myocardial function evaluation. 相似文献5.

Background
Abnormal skin temperature in the shoulder is caused by various diseases. A thermography is unable to capture temperature changes over time. In contrast, a Thermocron is an effective measuring device to monitor temperature changes over time.Purposes
The purposes of this study employing a Thermocron were to measure shoulder skin temperature over time in healthy subjects and to detect shoulder skin temperature abnormalities in a patient with shoulder-hand syndrome.Subjects and methods
Subjects comprised 10 healthy volunteers (20 shoulders; 4 men and 6 women, mean age 54 years). For measurements, a Thermocron was attached on both shoulders. Measurements were made from 21.00 to 07.00 the following morning at 15-minute intervals.Results
Gradual difference in right and left shoulder skin temperature was observed with the timing of measurements but no significant difference was apparent, i.e. dominant side 34.9 ± 0.8°C, non-dominant side 34.9 ± 0.9°C (P = 0.28).Presentation of a case with shoulder-hand syndrome
A 54-year-old woman with the diagnosis of rotator cuff tear underwent surgical treatment of rotator cuff repair, but the pain of the operated shoulder persisted due to phase 1 shoulder-hand syndrome. In postoperative week 3, skin temperature measurement using Thermocrons demonstrated a significant decrease in temperature on the operated side (affected side 34.3 ± 0.4°C, healthy side 35.2 ± 0.3°C; P < 0.05).Conclusion
The changing of the skin temperature during night-time was successfully recorded both in the healthy subjects and a case with shoulder-hand syndrome using a Thermocron. 相似文献6.

Objective
To investigate the relationship between polymorphism within the 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) of IGF-I gene and its periparturient concentration in Iranian Holstein dairy cows.Methods
Blood samples (5 mL, n = 37) were collected by caudal venipuncture from each animal into sample tubes containing the EDTA and DNA was extracted from blood. In order to measure IGF-I concentration the collection of blood samples (n = 111) was also done at 14 d before calving (prepartum), 25 and 45 d postpartum.Results
We found evidence for a significant effect of C to T mutation in position 512 of IGF-I gene on its serum concentration in dairy cows in Iran. Cows with CC genotype had significantly higher concentration (Mean±SD) of IGF-I at 14 d prepartum (91.8±18.1) µg/L compared to those with TT genotype (73.3±14.4) µg/L (P=0.04). A significant trend (quadratic) was found for IGF-I concentration, as higher in CC cows compared to ones with TT genotype, during the 14 d before calving to 45 d postpartum (P=0.01).Conclusions
We concluded that C/T transition in the promoter region of IGF-I gene can influence the serum concentration of IGF-I in periparturient dairy cows. 相似文献7.

Background:
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive technique used to alter cortex excitability that has been proposed as an efficient method for treating brain hyperexcitability or hypoexcitability disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate whether high-frequency rTMS could have any beneficial effects in restless legs syndrome (RLS).Methods:
Fourteen patients with RLS were given high-frequency rTMS (15 Hz, 100% motor threshold) to the leg representation motor cortex area of the frontal lobe for 14 sessions over 18 days. Patients were diagnosed according to the international criteria proposed by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group in 2003. The International RLS Rating Scale (IRLS-RS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale were used to evaluate the severity of RLS, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, respectively. The scale scores were evaluated at four-time points (baseline, end of the 14th session, and at 1- and 2-month posttreatment). One-way analysis of variance was used to compare scale scores at different time points.Results:
There was significant improvement in the IRLS-RS (from 23.86 ± 5.88 to 11.21 ± 7.23, P < 0.05), PSQI (from 15.00 ± 4.88 to 9.29 ± 3.91, P < 0.05), and HAMA (from 17.93 ± 7.11 to 10.36 ± 7.13, P < 0.05) scale scores at the end of 14th session, with ongoing effects lasting for at least 2 months.Conclusions:
High-frequency rTMS can markedly alleviate the motor system symptoms, sleep disturbances, and anxiety in RLS patients. These results suggest that rTMS might be an option for treating RLS. 相似文献8.

Background
A growing body of evidence suggests that effective blood pressure reduction may inhibit the progression of microvascular damage in patients with essential arterial hypertension. However, the potential influence of anti-hypertensive drugs on ocular circulation has not been studied sufficiently.Purpose
The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of anti-hypertensive therapy on blood flow in the central retinal artery in patients with systemic arterial hypertension.Material and methods
Twenty patients with essential arterial hypertension, aged 32–46 years, were examined with Doppler ultrasonography (10 MHz ultrasound probe). Blood flow velocities, pulsatility, and vascular resistance were determined before and 3 hours after systemic application of either bisoprolol 5 mg or cilazapril 2.5 mg.Results
Administered bisoprolol significantly decreased maximum (9.8 ± 0.5 cm/s versus 8.5 ± 0.6 cm/s; P < 0.05) and minimum (2.75 ± 0.19 cm/s versus 1.75 ± 0.27 cm/s; P < 0.02) velocity, increased the Pourcellot''s index (0.71 to 0.79; P < 0.05) in central retinal artery. There were no statistically significant changes in central retinal artery blood flow after administration of cilazapril.Conclusion
Systemic application of beta-blockers may unfavourably disturb the ocular blood flow. 相似文献9.
Background
Induction and maintenance characteristics of sevoflurane and halothane have been studied, but little work has been done to compare the postoperative recovery of these two agents.Methods
Sixty adult, ASA I and II patients were allocated randomly into Group A and Group B of 30 each. Group A received sevoflurane and Group B received halothane for maintenance. At the end of surgery early recovery, intermediate recovery and discharge criteria were assessed.Results
Early recovery assessed with the mean time to extubation was 6.7 ± 2.29 min in Group A and 9.07 ± 1.64 min in Group B; eye opening was 7.28 ± 2.3 min in Group A and 10.6 ± 1.77 min in Group B; response to verbal command was 8.52 ± 2.83 min in Group A and 12.33 ± 2.17 min in Group B, while orientation was 10.43 ± 3.15 min in Group A and 14.77 ± 2.66 min in Group B. These differences were statistically significant (p<0.001). The mean time to reach post anaesthesia care unit discharge criteria was shorter for Group A (21.1 ± 4.69 min) as compared to Group B (27.43 ± 6.51 min) and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.001)Conclusion
Early recovery time and time taken to achieve discharge criteria were faster with sevoflurane.Key Words: Sevoflurane, Halothane, Post-operative recovery 相似文献10.
Background
Calcium channel blockers potentiate the effects of local anaesthetics. We examined the effect of adding verapamil to local anaesthetic solution on anaesthetic duration in patients undergoing surgery under brachial plexus block.Methods
This study was a prospective, randomized, controlled, double blind study. Sixty patients undergoing elective upper limb surgery were divided into two groups of 30 each. Group A received 40 ml of 1% lignocaine with 0.25% bupivacaine, while Group B patients had 2.5 mg verapamil added.Result
Onset of sensory blockade time was marginally faster in Group B (23.2 ± 3.94 minutes) as compared to Group A (23.9 ± 4.13 minutes). However this difference was statistically not significant. The increase in duration of sensory blockade in Group B (185 ± 46.52 minutes) as compared to Group A (157 ± 44.28 minutes) was statistically significant (p= 0.011). Increase in duration of motor blockade in Group B (161 ± 46.14 minutes) as compared to Group A (149 ± 42,76 minutes) was statistically not significant (p = 0.15). Similarly prolongation of analgesic duration in Group B (318 ± 69.54minutes) as compared to Group A (302 ± 0.69 minutes) was statistically not significant (p=0.18).Conclusion
We conclude that adding verapamil to brachial plexus block can prolong sensory anaesthesia without any effect on analgesic duration.Key Words: Brachial plexus block, Verapamil 相似文献11.
Background
A study was undertaken with the aim to evaluate the therapeutic and clinical efficacy of oral appliances in the management of upper airway sleep disorders like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Methods
Oral appliances were prescribed in eight cases of non - apneic snoring and 42 polysomnography (PSG) diagnosed cases of OSA. The cases were assessed on Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Apnea - Hypopnea Index (AHI).Result
62.5% of the non - apneic snoring cases reported gross reduction/cessation of snoring. In the OSA cases, the mean AHI and ESS scores decreased from 51.48 ± 23.70 to 32.78 ± 18.06 and 12.50 ± 3.57 to 7.20 ± 2.917 respectively. A statistically significant (p<0.0001) improvement in AHI and ESS scores was observed.Conclusion
Short term therapeutic efficacy of oral appliances therapy in non-apneic snoring and OSA cases was observed.Key Words: Snoring, Obstructive sleep apnea, Oral appliances 相似文献12.

Aim
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the semen profiles of bicycle taxi cyclists and healthy controls in Mangochi district, Malawi.Methods
Semen samples were collected from young bicycle taxi cyclists after two to three days of sexual abstinence. A control group, comprising young men who were not bicycle taxi operators also submitted semen samples. Samples were left to liquefy for 30 minutes before measurements were conducted of volume, concentration, total motility, and progressive motility. This was followed by preparation of morphology slides. Light microscopy was used for sperm analysis.Results
Semen parameters such as volume (1.66 ± 0.18 mL vs. 3.64 ± 0.17 mL; p = 0.0001), concentration (28.31 ± 4.33 x 106/mL vs. 54.95 ± 5.93 × 106/mL; p = 0.02) , total motility (56.98% ± 8.22% vs. 56.98% ± 8.22%; p = 0.03), progressive motility (22.57% ± 3.35% vs. 59.69% ± 4.82%; p = 0.004), and morphology (6.98% ± 3.23% vs. 19.73% ± 2.32%; p = 0.006) were significantly reduced in the bicycle taxi cyclists compared to the healthy controls.Conclusion
In this case-control study, bicycle taxi operators had lower semen volume, concentration, total motility, and progressive motility, as well as a higher concentration of abnormally shaped spermatocytes, compared to healthy controls. 相似文献13.

Objective
To determine the sensitivity of Blattela germanica L (B. germanica L) to differenct doses of insulin.Methods
B. germanica were reared in laboratory conditions at (25±2) °C and (50±5)% relative humidity (RH), and exposure period of 12:12 L/D. Different concentrations, viz. 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 µ of insulin N, R, (N+R) were prepared and injected to 10 treated cockroaches with another 10 cockroaches which were injected with normal saline as control group.Results
Insulin N with a dose of 20 µ caused more than 70% mortality of B. germanica in this study. There was a significant difference between 20 µ of insulin N with other doses of 5, 10, 15 and 25 µ, and its comparison with other forms of medication also showed obvious difference (P<0.05).Conclusions
It can be concluded that effective drug doses of insulin which can be used as posion bait or gel against German cockroaches could be utilized in the control of B. germanica in the future field studies. 相似文献14.

Objective
To examine the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of different solvent fractions of Pedalium murex (P. murex) Linn fruits (Family: Pedaliaceae) as well as the correlation between the total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content.Methods
In the present study, the antioxidant activities of P. murex were evaluated using six in-vitro assays, namely total antioxidant assay, DPPH assay, reducing power, nitric oxide scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and deoxyribose scavenging assays, and total phenol contents were also investigated.Results
The ethyl acetate (EA) fraction was found to have high levels of phenolic content (298.72±2.09 mg GAE/g). The EA fraction exhibit higher total antioxidant capacity, higher percentage of DPPH radical scavenging activity (135.11±2.95µg/mL), nitric oxide (200.57±4.51µg/mL), hydrogen peroxide (217.91±6.12 µg/mL), deoxyribose (250.01±4.68µg/mL) and higher reducing power. Correlation coefficient (r2=0.914) was found to be significant between total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity.Conclusions
In general, the results indicate that the EA fractions are rich in phenolic antioxidants with potent free radical scavenging activity implying their importance to human health. 相似文献15.

Background
Surgical treatment modalities for post-traumatic kyphosis (PTK) remain controversial. Like vertebral column resection, closing-opening wedge osteotomy (COWO) can achieve satisfactory results for kyphosis with multiple etiologies. However, few studies have assessed this procedure for PTK. Our purpose was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of COWO in a selected series of patients with PTK via a single posterior approach.Methods
In this retrospective case series, seven patients with symptomatic PTK in the thoracolumbar spine were reviewed. Five patients underwent surgery at the time of initial injury, and the other two initially underwent conservative treatment. All seven patients underwent COWO procedures through a single posterior approach. The Cobb angle was assessed preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the final follow-up. A visual analog scale (VAS) and the American Spinal Injury Association scale were used to evaluate back pain and neurological function preoperatively and at final follow-up, respectively. Operation-associated complications were also recorded.Results
The mean follow-up period was 34.3 months (range, 24 to 43 months). The mean kyphotic angle was significantly (P <0.05) reduced from 57.7° (range, 36° to 100°) preoperatively to 8° postoperatively (range, −12° to 50°). The mean VAS improved from 5.9 to 2.1 (P <0.05). Three patients exhibited improved neurological function. Bony fusion was achieved in all patients. No significant correction loss or permanent complication was noted.Conclusions
Though technically demanding, COWO via a single posterior approach can provide satisfactory outcomes for selected patients with PTK. Additional studies are required to improve patient selection and outcomes for this condition. 相似文献16.

Background:
Some kidney diseases are usually associated with changes in kidney size.Objective:
To determine sonographically the normal limits and percentile curves of the kidney dimensions according to age, gender and somatometric parameters among school-age children.Methods:
A prospective cross-sectional research design and convenience sampling method were utilized. Participants included 947 normal subjects (496 boys and 451 girls) aged 6–17 years old. The sonographic examination was performed on a Shenzhen DP-1100 machine with 3.5 MHz convex transducer. Longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the kidneys were obtained in coronal plane with the subject in the supine or left lateral decubitus position.Results:
The means of right and left kidney lengths in mm were 79.6 ± 8.1 and 81.6 ± 8.3, respectively while those of the right and left kidney widths in mm were 35.03 ± 3.6 and 35.09 ± 3.6, respectively. Dimensions of the kidneys were not statistically different in boys and girls (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between right and left kidney length (p < 0.05). Height correlated best with both kidney lengths. Thus the normal limits, prediction models and percentile curves of kidney lengths were established with respect to height.Conclusion:
Sonographic determination of pathologic changes in the size of the kidney necessitates knowing the normal ranges of its length especially with respect to height in school-age children. 相似文献17.

Objective
To evaluate the aldose reductase inhibitory (ARI) activity of different fractions of Hybanthus enneaspermus for potential use in diabetic cataract.Methods
Total phenol and flavonoid content of different fractions was determined. ARI activity of different fractions in rat lens was investigated in vitro.Results
The results showed significant level of phenolic and flavonoid content in ethyl acetate fraction [total phenol (212.15±0.79 mg/g), total flavonoid (39.11±2.27 mg/g)] and aqueous fraction [total phenol (140.62±0.57 mg/g), total flavonoid (26.07±1.49 mg/g)] as compared with the chloroform fraction [total phenol (68.56±0.51 mg/g), total flavonoid (13.41±0.82 mg/g)] and petrolium ether fraction [total phenol (36.68±0.43 mg/g), total flavonoid (11.55±1.06 mg/g)]. There was a significant difference in the ARI activity of each fraction, and it was found to be the highest in ethyl acetate fraction [IC50 (49.26±1.76 µg/mL)] followed by aqueous extract [IC50 (70.83±2.82 µg/mL)] and it was least in the petroleum ether fraction [IC50 (118.89±0.71 µg/mL)]. Chloroform fraction showed moderate activity [IC50 (98.52±1.80 µg/mL)].Conclusions
Different fractions showed significanct amount of ARI activity, where in ethyl acetate fraction it was found to be maximum which may be due to its high phenolic and flavonoid content. The extract after further evaluation may be used in the treatment of diabetic cataract. 相似文献18.

Objective
The present study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant potential and anthelmintic activities of Flacourtia sepiaria Roxb leaves.Methods
The dried powdered leaves of Flacourtia sepiaria were extracted using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol by a soxhlet extractor and preliminary phytochemical screening was performed using standard protocols. All the extract was evaluated for their potential antioxidant activities using test such as DPPH, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide radical scavenging abilities, ferrous chelating ability and total phenolic and flavanoid content. Anthelmintic activity of extract was screened in adult Indian earthworm model.Results
Preliminary screening revealed the presence of bioactive compounds especially phenolics, tannins and terpenoids in all extracts. The phenolic and flavanoid content was highest in methanolic extract and lowest in petroleum ether extract. The paralytic (9.46±0.212) and death time (31.43±0.148) of methanolic extract was found to be significant (P<0.05) when compared with paralytic (7.33±0.206) and death time (18.60±0.229) of standard piperazine citrate at 100 mg/mL concentration.Conclusions
The results of the present study indicate that the leaf extracts of Flacourtia sepiaria exhibited strong antioxidant activity and possess significant anthelmintic activity and thus it is a good source of antioxidant and anthelmintic constituents. 相似文献19.

Objective
To analyze the chemical composition and to evaluate the bioactive potential of hydroalocoholic extract of propolis.Methods
Ethanol extract of propolis was analyzed by GC-MS, HPTLC and HPLC methods and in vitro antioxidant, anticholinesterase and cytotoxicity assay were performed.Results
GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of fatty acids, alcohols, and quercetin. Quercetin was identified and quantified by HPTLC and HPLC methods. Dose dependent DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of hydroalcoholic extract of propolis was calculated as 16.20 and 34.33 µg/mL respectively. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation was significant and the IC50 value was calculated as 55.56µg/mL. Anticholinesterase activity was less observed. The cytotoxic activity against both breast (MCF-7) and lung cancer (A543) cell lines were significant and the IC50 value was calculated as 10 and 13 µg/mL respectively.Conclusions
These findings showed that bioactive compounds present in propolis will alleviate many diseases and can be used for better human health. 相似文献20.
