Methods of early detection： would clinical breastexamination and breast ultrasonography be a good alternative to mammography？

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among women[1].In the past 40 years,breast cancer incidence has doubled or even tripled in developed countries such as South Korea and Japan; whereas it is about 20% to 30% in China and India in the past decade[2-4]. An increasing incidence rate of 3%

胰岛移植过程中胰岛培养的研究现状

目的:总结胰岛移植过程中胰岛培养的研究现状,为利用胰岛培养准备更多更好的胰岛提供理论依据和技术支持。资料来源:以计算机检索Medline和Pubmed数据库1994-01/2007-01与胰岛培养相关的文章,检索词为“isle,tculture”,限定文章语言种类为English。同时计算机检索CNKI中国全文数据库1994-01/2007-01与胰岛培养相关的文章,检索词为“胰岛,培养”,限定文章语言种类为中文。资料选择:对资料进行初审,纳入标准:①与胰岛培养相关的文章。②1994年以后发表的文章。排除标准:Meta分析类文章。资料提炼:共检索到1384篇与胰岛培养相关的文章,入选33篇。对所检索文章的相关信息加以综合概括,其中关于胰岛培养中基础培养基、培养添加物、培养温度、密度等方面的文章18篇,关于胰岛培养新尝试的文章12篇。资料综合:将胰岛培养后再行移植有一定优势,包括降低免疫原性和为术前准备赢得时间等。目前对于挑选合适培养基及其添加物,调整合适培养温度、培养密度以及保护胰岛的活性等都有了比较深入细致的研究;同时很多学者开始尝试一些新的方法延长胰岛培养时间,改善胰岛功能,包括加入细胞外基质、与其他细胞共培养、选用微重力系统培养以及利用胶囊包裹培养等均显示良好的效果。结论:虽然胰岛培养可能会影响胰岛的活性和功能,但随着对胰岛生理和病理生理特性研究的深入,新的技术方法可将这些影响降到最低。胰岛培养给临床实践带来的便利是其最大的优势,加强胰岛培养的研究与应用有着重要的意义。     

心肌梗死大鼠心肌细胞凋亡及磷酸肌酸的干预

目的:缺血引起的心肌能量供应不足是心肌细胞凋亡主要的因素之一,观察补充外源性能量磷酸肌酸对缺血心肌细胞凋亡和心功能的影响。方法:实验于2003-04/06在解放军总医院老年心血管病研究所实验室完成。选用SD大鼠50只,按随机数字表法分为3组:①磷酸肌酸组19只,结扎左冠状动脉制作心肌梗死模型,结扎前30min按200mg/kg的剂量腹腔注射磷酸肌酸1次。②缺血对照组21只,心肌缺血方法同磷酸肌酸组,结扎前30min腹腔注射相同体积的50g/L葡萄糖注射液1次。③正常对照组10只,仅在冠状动脉下穿线,不结扎冠状动脉,其余同缺血对照组。结扎冠状动脉6h后,取各组大鼠心脏标本做石蜡切片,缺口末端标记法染色,高倍镜下计数心肌细胞凋亡指数,凋亡指数=凋亡心肌细胞数/心肌细胞总数;取心脏标本前,测左心室收缩压、舒张末压和压力变化速度,并进行组间比较。结果:磷酸肌酸组大鼠造模时死亡9只;缺血对照组造模时死亡10只,造模成功后6h内死亡1只,进入结果分析共30只大鼠,每组10只。①缺血对照组大鼠的左心室舒张末压显著高于正常对照组[(13.9±5.3vs.2.8±3.2)mmHg(P<0.01)],左心室压力变化速度显著低于正常对照组[(705.8±111.7vs.1141.7±94.5)mmHg/s(P<0.01)];磷酸肌酸组大鼠的左心室舒张末压显著低于缺血对照组[(8.9±3.5)mmHg(P<0.05)];左心室压力变化速度显著高于缺血对照组[(841.5±76.1)mmHg/s(P<0.01)];左心室收缩压与缺血对照组差异无显著性意义(P>0.05)。②磷酸肌酸组大鼠的心肌细胞凋亡指数显著低于缺血对照组(0.203±0.054vs.0.278±0.052,P=0.006)。结论:补充外源性能量磷酸肌酸可以减少缺血后心肌细胞凋亡,并改善心功能,磷酸肌酸抑制缺血心肌细胞凋亡可能是改善心肌梗死后心功能的主要作用途径之一。

Social and Self-Reflective Use of a Web-Based Personally Controlled Health Management System

Background

Personally controlled health management systems (PCHMSs) contain a bundle of features to help patients and consumers manage their health. However, it is unclear how consumers actually use a PCHMS in their everyday settings.

Objective

To conduct an empirical analysis of how consumers used the social (forum and poll) and self-reflective (diary and personal health record [PHR]) features of a Web-based PCHMS designed to support their physical and emotional well-being.

Methods

A single-group pre/post-test online prospective study was conducted to measure use of a Web-based PCHMS for physical and emotional well-being needs during a university academic semester. The PCHMS integrated an untethered PHR with social forums, polls, a diary, and online messaging links with a health service provider. Well-being journeys additionally provided information to encourage engagement with clinicians and health services. A total of 1985 students and staff aged 18 and above with access to the Internet were recruited online, of which 709 were eligible for analysis. Participants’ self-reported well-being, health status, health service utilization, and help-seeking behaviors were compared using chi-square, McNemar’s test, and Student’s t test. Social networks were constructed to examine the online forum communication patterns among consumers and clinicians.

Results

The two PCHMS features that were used most frequently and considered most useful and engaging were the social features (ie, the poll and forum). More than 30% (213/709) of participants who sought well-being assistance during the study indicated that other people had influenced their decision to seek help (54.4%, 386/709 sought assistance for physical well-being; 31.7%, 225/709 for emotional well-being). Although the prevalence of using a self-reflective feature (diary or PHR) was not as high (diary: 8.6%, 61/709; PHR: 15.0%, 106/709), the proportion of participants who visited a health care professional during the study was more than 20% greater in the group that did use a self-reflective feature (diary: P=.03; PHR: P<.001).

Conclusions

There was variation in the degree to which consumers used social and self-reflective PCHMS features but both were significantly associated with increased help-seeking behaviors and health service utilization. A PCHMS should combine both self-reflective as well as socially driven components to most effectively influence consumers’ help-seeking behaviors.
