Remission and Recovery in the Treatment for Adolescents With Depression Study (TADS): Acute and Long-Term Outcomes

ObjectiveWe examine remission rate probabilities, recovery rates, and residual symptoms across 36 weeks in the Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS).MethodThe TADS, a multisite clinical trial, randomized 439 adolescents with major depressive disorder to 12 weeks of treatment with fluoxetine, cognitive–behavioral therapy, their combination, or pill placebo. The pill placebo group, treated openly after week 12, was not included in the subsequent analyses. Treatment differences in remission rates and probabilities of remission over time are compared. Recovery rates in remitters at weeks 12 (acute phase remitters) and 18 (continuation phase remitters) are summarized. We also examined whether residual symptoms at the end of 12 weeks of acute treatment predicted later remission.ResultsAt week 36, the estimated remission rates for intention-to-treat cases were as follows: combination, 60%; fluoxetine, 55%; cognitive–behavioral therapy, 64%; and overall, 60%. Paired comparisons reveal that, at week 24, all active treatments converge on remission outcomes. The recovery rate at week 36 was 65% for acute phase remitters and 71% for continuation phase remitters, with no significant between-treatment differences in recovery rates. Residual symptoms at the end of acute treatment predicted failure to achieve remission at weeks 18 and 36.ConclusionsMost depressed adolescents in all three treatment modalities achieved remission at the end of 9 months of treatment.     

危重型毛细支气管炎抢救体会：附31例分析

231例毛细支气管炎,危重型38例占16.4％,抢救成功31例占81.6％。本文讨论了危重型毛细支气管炎并多器官功能衰竭的发生与预后及平喘药物的合理选用。认为早期应用免疫疗法、迅速平喘、保护重要器官功能及合理治疗并存症是抢救成功的关键。     

经腹及经阴道B超监测卵泡发育的评估

应用经腹及经阴道B超对68名不孕症妇女,139个月经周期进行卵泡发育及排卵监测。卵泡检出率TAUS为90.6％,TVUS为98.0％,显著高于前者,P<0.05。成熟卵泡特征影象(卵丘等)在TVUS显象率较高。TVUS监测卵泡发育更实用可靠。     

视疲劳中医古籍探源及其证治

中医学认为，肝开窍于目，劳瞻竭视，暗耗精血，而出现上述诸多证候，故称之为“肝劳”。古代医家对肝劳在病名、病因、病机方面做了较为全面的论述，在调养和治疗方面亦有述及，现分述如下     

血液透析动脉穿刺术临床研究

目的:研究动脉穿刺技术,提高1次穿刺成功率。方法:将166例急、慢性肾功能衷竭接受血液透析的患者,随机分为观察组84例和对照组82例。观察组用新的穿刺方法,即先在动脉(桡动脉或足背动脉)搏动最明显或最清晰处按一印记,然后进针,对照组用传统的穿刺方法穿刺。比较两组所需时间、1次成功率、血流量、针眼处渗血、疼痛程度以及并发症。结果:两组穿刺所需时间、血流量、针眼处渗血,均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论:观察组用新的穿刺方法,能明显提高1次穿刺成功率,缩短穿刺时间,减轻患者痛苦,减少并发症发生。     

Digital imaging with a photostimulable phosphor in the chest of newborns

To evaluate use of a digital photostimulable phosphor imaging system in the neonatal nursery, 150 newborns were divided into three groups of 50. In the first two groups, screen-film and computed radiographs of the chest were obtained at the same radiation exposure; in the third group, computed radiographs were obtained with a 50% dose reduction (half-exposure computed radiographs). All images were blindly evaluated by three readers who scored the quality of visualization of the mediastinum, lung, bone, soft tissues, and endotracheal and nasogastric tubes, and also image density. No statistical differences in visualization of tubes existed among the three groups. Visualization of the mediastinum, lung, bones, and soft tissues was statistically significantly better on computed radiographs than on half-exposure computed radiographs; visualization of the lungs, bones, and soft tissues was statistically significantly better on screen-film radiographs than half-exposure computed radiographs. Image density was statistically better on computed and half-exposure computed radiographs than on screen-film radiographs.

激素间歇冲击及小剂量维持治疗IgA肾病的随机对照研究

目的:探讨激素间歇冲击及小剂量维持与血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂治疗中度蛋白尿IgA肾病的疗效及其影响因素。方法:47例IgA肾病患者随机分为实验组和对照组。对照组(21例)给予ACEI药物治疗,实验组(26例)在此基础上口服泼尼松0.5mg/kg,隔日给药,治疗12个月,并在治疗的第1、3、5个月初分别给予甲基泼尼松龙0.5g/d,冲击3d。对肾脏病理改变进行WHO分级并对各种病变进行半定量分析。结果:两组间在性别、年龄、临床及病理资料间无统计学差异。平均随访14个月后,实验组尿蛋白完全缓解8例(30.8%),部分缓解14例(53.8%),无缓解4例(15.4%);而对照组分别为4例(19.1%),3例(23.8%),12例(57.1%),有统计学差异(P<0.01)。治疗前后,实验组血肌酐分别为(89.9±30.3)μmol/L及(88.2±32.8)μmol/L;对照组分别为(89.5±37.9)μmol/L及(104.0±49.7)μmol/L,但两者比较均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。多因素分析显示疗效与肾小球硬化率及肾小管间质病变呈负相关。结论:激素间歇冲击及小剂量维持治疗能显著减少蛋白尿,维持肾功能稳定。影响疗效的主要因素为肾小球硬化率及肾小管间质病变程度。
