Ventricular Arrhythmias: When to Worry

Although isolated premature ventricular contractions may be seen in as many as 15% of normal newborns, one third of normal adolescents, and two thirds of adolescents and adults with repaired heart disease, sustained ventricular arrhythmias are relatively rare in young normal hearts. Sudden cardiac health is rare in young normal hearts, although there is an increased incidence in dilated cardiomyopathies and following repair of particular congenital heart lesions. Noninvasive and invasive techniques imperfectly stratify these patients. Patients with cardiomyopathy often have ventricular arrhythmias, although the risk of mortality is more closely linked to ventricular function. There are many infants and pediatric patients with apparently normal hearts who have combinations of asymptomatic nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and potentially serious symptoms. The clinical concern is to identify diagnoses such as long QT syndrome associated with recurrent cardiac syncope and premature mortality so that appropriate choices can be made regarding drug and device therapy. Although this broad range of disease places a premium on careful evaluation, selective therapy, and continued research, serious symptoms, even in the absence of ectopy, are concerning in any patient.     

药用矿物蒙脱石的X-射线定向衍射分析

目的：揭示蒙脱石层状晶体结构及层间吸附和膨胀性能,为其作为药物和药剂辅料提供科学依据。方法：将样品提纯,获得粒径小于1μm的胶体,制成取向样品,进行X－射线定向衍射分析。结果：得到了有关蒙脱石层间域在不同条件下的变化规律。结论：蒙脱石的层间吸附是可能的,而且定向衍射方法可以定量测定其层间距离。     

治疗痛风和高尿酸血症药物的研究进展

随着痛风和高尿酸血症发病率的逐年攀升,临床常用治疗药物（别嘌醇、苯溴马隆、非布司他等）市场销售额也逐年递增,但这些药物均存在明显的副作用,国内外药企已将研发重点放在更安全、更高效的新型降尿酸药物尿酸盐重吸收转运子1（URAT1）抑制剂领域,已上市的雷西那德在近几年备受关注,而在研新药SHR4640、SIM1909-13已处于临床试验阶段,同时用中医药治疗高尿酸血症和痛风也是未来的研究方向。对治疗痛风及高尿酸血症的药物研究进展进行综述,以期为临床用药和新药研发提供参考。     

石油沥青对职业人群健康影响的调查

目的调查长期接触石油沥青对职业人群健康的影响，为制订职业卫生标准提供职业流行病学调查资料。方法对防水材料生产企业和石油沥青暴露人群进行作业场所劳动卫生学和职业流行病学调查。结果对石油沥青暴露组394人，对照组237人调查结果表明，暴露组失眠、胸闷、鼻干等症状出现率高于对照组，其他检查显示，暴露组肺纹理增强、支气管炎出现率虽高于对照组，但无统计学意义。结论作业场所石油沥青烟浓度为0．69—10．46mg／m^3的情况下，石油沥青对职业人群健康没有产生明显的损害作用，也没有发现特异性损害。     

������ҵ��439�������˿�ǻ��������

目的    了解高海拔地区藏族牧民口腔健康情况,探讨口腔疾病发病情况和规律,为采取防治措施和改善口腔医疗服务提供依据。方法    2008年10月选择西藏羊易村成年人为调查对象,共439人接受调查,其中男206人,女233人。按照年龄分为：18～24岁组（120人）、>24～34岁组（108人）、>34～44岁组（96人）、>44岁组（115人）;每个年龄组内按性别再分组。以世界卫生组织1997年口腔健康调查基本方法为标准,调查成年牧民龋齿、牙周疾病、第三磨牙萌出及口腔其他疾病患病情况,并对结果进行分析。结果    羊易村成人龋患率、龋均、平均缺牙数分别为74.94%、5.74、3.57。18～24岁和>24～34岁组女性龋均显著高于男性,且差异有统计学意义（P < 0.05）。各年龄组内男女间人均缺牙数、龋患率、有28颗牙人数、牙结石检出率、牙周炎发生率差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）;而从总体统计,女性缺牙数、龋患率、牙周炎发生率高于男性（P < 0.05）,有28颗牙人数低于男性（P < 0.05）,男性>24～34岁组牙龈炎发生率显著高于同龄女性（P < 0.05）。>24～34岁组中女性第三磨牙萌出率高于男性（P < 0.05）,而在>44岁组中男性高于女性（P < 0.05）。在>24～34岁组、>44岁组和全体样本总计中女性萌出的第三磨牙龋齿发生率均高于男性（P < 0.05）。439名被调查者中有22人有不良固定义齿修复;38人有上颌侧切牙装饰性义齿修复。龋齿充填率为0。结论    高海拔地区缺氧环境和饮食习惯对口腔发育和疾病有一定影响。西藏牧民口腔健康状况较差,需要改善牧区口腔医疗条件,建立口腔防治体系。     

抗程序化细胞死亡基因5抗体与类风湿关节炎相关性研究

目的 探讨抗程序化细胞死亡基因5（PDCD5）抗体在类风湿关节炎（RA）中的意义.方法 采用酶联免疫吸附法（ELISA）对55例RA 患者和44例健康对照者（NC）外周血清中抗PDCD5抗体的水平进行检测,并与RA患者相关临床资料、实验室指标及影像学资料进行统计学分析.结果 55例RA患者和44例NC外周血清中抗PDCD5抗体的水平分别为（18.06±4.70）μg/L,（13.62±4.35）μg/L,阳性率分别为18.2%（10/55）,4.5%（2/44）,二者在抗体水平和阳性率上差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）.抗PDCD5抗体阳性组Sharp评分,类风湿因子（RF）和抗环瓜氨酸肽（CCP）抗体水平明显高于抗PDCD5抗体阴性组,抗PDCD5抗体与抗CCP抗体呈正相关（r=0.374,P=0.01,2-tailed）.结论 抗PDCD5抗体与RA密切相关,且抗体阳性患者易出现骨侵蚀,有望成为诊断早期RA的实验室指标之一.     

Our Postpandemic World: What Will It Take to Build a Better Future for People and Planet?

Policy Points

• Despite the pandemic''s ongoing devastating impacts, it also offers the opportunity and lessons for building a better, fairer, and sustainable world.
• Transformational change will require new ways of working, challenging powerful individuals and industries who worsened the crisis, will act to exploit it for personal gain, and will work to ensure that the future aligns with their interests.
• A flourishing world needs strong and equitable structures and systems, including strengthened democratic, research, and educational institutions, supported by ideas and discourses that are free of opaque and conflicted influence and that challenge the status quo and inequitable distribution of power.
