西脉式环抱器用于骨折内固定术护理配合要点

目的:探讨西脉镍钛形状记忆合金环抱器用于骨折内固定术有关的护理配合问题。方法:12例不同部位骨折病人(其中男性8例、女性4例、年龄15～62岁)采用西脉镍钛(TiNi)形状记忆合金环抱器人实施内固定手术,观察术中护理配合要点和实际效果。结果:骨折复位满意,手术持续时间<2h。所有病人术后均无感染迹象,手术切口愈合良好。结论:围术期护理配合质量(如器械选择、塑形准备、无菌操作等)的优劣,是手术成功与否的重要因素之一。     

冰点下降法测定血、尿渗透压的临床应用及注意事项

本文应用溶液冰点下降法测定了178例正常血清渗透压。结果为287±13毫渗量/kg水。并对20例尿崩症病人在限水加压素试验过程中测定血清,尿渗透压。尿崩症病人尿渗透压明显低于正常人。注射加压素后,尿渗透压升到正常。在多尿症的鉴别诊断中,此法是一种简便,灵敏的手段。有重要的诊断价值。     

Alcohol policies in industrial nations: Recent trends and alternative approaches

Alcohol consumption and many alcohol-related problems have increased in most industrialized countries in the postwar period. The main societal responses have been increases in the treatment response to alcohol problems and in public and school education efforts. In the present era of fiscal crisis, there is also a trend toward punitive controls of the individual drinker. Potential policy alternatives should be broadened to include environmental protections for and from drunkenness, and a reconsideration of alcohol control strategies. Recent studies have shown that in some circumstances such laws have strong effects.Revised from a paper presented at a Plenary Session on Alcohol and Public Policy at the 28th International Institute on the Prevention and Treatment of Alcoholism, Munich, West Germany, July 9, 1982.

Patterns of family responses to alcohol and tobacco problems

Patterns of family response to drinking and smoking were studied in a sample of 1034 adults in Ontario in 1993. Concerning tobacco smoking, 69% of respondents reported having said something to a relative and 82% to a friend; concerning drinking, 46% had said something to a relative and 65% to a friend. Having said something did not vary much with the respondent's age, educational level and smoking or drinking status, except that current smokers were less likely than others to have said something to a friend or acquaintance, while heavier drinkers were more likely to have said something to a friend or acquaintance, and ex-drinkers were more likely to have said something to a relative. About half of all who had ever smoked reported a family member (57%) or a friend (47%) had said something to them about their smoking, compared with much smaller proportions of ever-drinkers who reported that a family member (14%) or a friend (8%) had ever said anything about their drinking. Both drinking and smoking are recognized by many respondents as imposing burdens on the family. Family members often comment on drinking and smoking, and make suggestions about cutting down or quitting.     

大白鼠自身免疫性肾小球肾炎特殊病型

本文从NMC大白鼠肾皮质制作肾抗原性物质,分别注射于10只Wistar大白鼠,每只用4mg肾抗原性物质,只注射1次,结果全体先后出现轻度蛋白尿。在发病经过各时期,采取肾组织进行光镜、电镜病理形态观察,认为本病既不符合肾小管上皮(RTE)抗原感作而引起的Heymann肾炎,亦不与因GBM抗原感作而引起的Steblay肾炎完全一致,初步把它作为大白鼠自身免疫性肾小球肾炎的一种特殊病型。     

高原地区CT导引经皮腰椎间盘髓核切吸术的临床研究

目的：探讨高原地区CT导引经皮腰椎间盘髓核切吸术（CT-PLD）的临床应用价值。方法：对68例腰椎间盘突出症患者实施了CT-PLD。（1）术前扫描病变椎间盘，筛选病例，并研究手术方案；（2）于即时CT图像上选择最佳的穿刺层面，设计穿刺路径，记录穿刺参数，并于体表标记穿刺点；（3）按既定参数进行穿刺；（4）经CT扫描确认穿刺进入椎间盘，扩张进针路径，进行切吸；（5）术毕CT扫描，观察进针路径有无出血及椎间盘还纳情况。结果：68例共79个椎间盘均穿刺成功。经3-18个月的随访，28例症状完全消失，36例症状明显减轻且能正常工作及生活，椎间盘还纳为1-4mm，显效率为94.12%。结论：CT-PLD安全有效，并发症少，是高原地区腰椎间盘突出症的理想的治疗方法。     

Privatizing alcohol sales and alcohol consumption: evidence and implications

Aim. To provide an overview of recent privatization/deregulation experiences in North America and other settings, in order to draw conclusions about the impacts that might be expected from such changes on rates of alcohol consumption and related problems. Methods. Critical review of research evidence on the effect of changes in availability, particularly changes in physical availability and economic availability that typically accompany privatization of alcohol retail monopolies. Findings. Deregulation/privatization experiences commonly involve higher density of outlets, longer hours or more days of sale, changes in price, a strong orientation to commercial aspects of alcohol sales and the introduction of new vested economic interests into alcohol management arrangements in the jurisdiction. In many instances these changes in access to alcohol are accompanied by an increase in the per capita rates of consumption. In the short term changes in prices are likely to either increase or demonstrate opposite patterns for beverages with different base prices. Longer-term patterns point to a decline in real price with privatization, which very probably stimulates per capita alcohol sales. Conclusion. The existing evaluation literature on the subject of privatization has tended to focus on examining the net short-term results in terms of alcohol consumption levels. Overall, there are too few studies employing adequate statistical methodologies to explore the underlying causes of changing alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm. Finally, seven specific suggestions that may assist future studies are discussed.     

How well do international drug conventions protect public health?

The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in 1961 aimed to eliminate the illicit production and non-medical use of cannabis, cocaine, and opioids, an aim later extended to many pharmaceutical drugs. Over the past 50 years international drug treaties have neither prevented the globalisation of the illicit production and non-medical use of these drugs, nor, outside of developed countries, made these drugs adequately available for medical use. The system has also arguably worsened the human health and wellbeing of drug users by increasing the number of drug users imprisoned, discouraging effective countermeasures to the spread of HIV by injecting drug users, and creating an environment conducive to the violation of drug users' human rights. The international system has belatedly accepted measures to reduce the harm from injecting drug use, but national attempts to reduce penalties for drug use while complying with the treaties have often increased the number of drug users involved with the criminal justice system. The international treaties have also constrained national policy experimentation because they require nation states to criminalise drug use. The adoption of national policies that are more aligned with the risks of different drugs and the effectiveness of controls will require the amendment of existing treaties, the formulation of new treaties, or withdrawal of states from existing treaties and re-accession with reservations.
