郑州市尘肺流行病学调查研究

尘肺是我国工业生产中危害最严重的职业病。1988年以来,郑州市持续开展了尘肺流行病学调查。1992年全市粉尘作业厂矿接尘人数为103542人,尘肺累积病人2758例,其中现患2541例,死亡217例。尘肺累积患病比为2.59%,现患率为2.39%,病死率为7.87%。尘肺累积病例以巩义市、郑州矿务局、密县为较多;按系统以煤炭(包括县煤炭)、机械、轻工、有色金属为多;尘肺病主要为矽肺及煤工尘肺。统计分析各种尘肺的发病工龄、发病年龄、死亡年龄以及各期别晋级年限等数据。对郑州市尘肺的发展趋势作了预测。     

Disposition of [3H]flobufen and its active metabolite in rats

The present authors investigated the excretion, distribution and pharmacokinetics of the novel potential antirheumatic agent flobufen and its active metabolite after p.o. and i.v. doses of 2, 10 and 50 mg/kg administered to rats. The drug is resorbed well from the digestive tract and mostly it is metabolized to the principal metabolite M, which is only slowly excreted from the organism mainly by renal clearance. Within the whole dose range the kinetics of the drug is linear. Binding of flobufen and M to proteins is high (95-99%). The highest concentrations of radioactive metabolites (mostly M) were found in the plasma, liver, lungs, kidneys, connective tissue and inflammatory foci. The penetration of metabolites through the placenta and excretion in human milk are relatively important.     

Bilateral dacryops

The clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic findings of a case of bilateral dacryops is reported in a 49-year-old man. The patient presented with cystic masses located in superior lateral orbits and underwent bilateral excisions of these without any postoperative complications.     

Modulation of mild bleeding disorder during remissions and exacerbations of Graves' disease

A patient with Graves' disease had a symptomatic thrombocytopathy during periods of remission. When euthyroid, she noticed bruising, petechiae, and epistaxis. Hemostatic abnormalities included prolongation of the bleeding time by aspirin, reduced platelet retention (a second-phase defect), and abnormal thrombin-induced aggregation and serotonin release. When hyperthyroid, bleeding symptoms resolved, and platelet function returned to normal. These observations suggest that mild bleeding disorders may be influenced either directly or indirectly by thyroid hormone levels.
