河北省4个地区广泛焦虑症的流行病学调查

目的:了解广泛焦虑症的患病率及人口学特点。方法:于2004-10/2005-03随机抽取河北省邯郸、保定、秦皇岛、承德4个地级市18岁以上人口进行全省精神疾病流行病学现场抽样调查工作,总样本24000人。调查筛选工具采用改编后的一般健康问卷12项,以《DSM-Ⅳ-TR轴Ⅰ障碍定式临床检查》病人版为调查的诊断工具。根据被调查者一般健康问卷12项总分,把被调查者分为高危人群、中危人群、低危人群3类。根据预试验调查结果确定三段危险人群的分界分:总分≥4分属于高危人群,高危人群全部进行DSM-Ⅳ-TR轴Ⅰ障碍定式临床检查;总分为2分或3分即属中危人群,中危人群约40%需进行DSM-Ⅳ-TR轴Ⅰ障碍定式临床检查,总分为0分或1分即属低危人群,低危人群中10%需进行DSM-Ⅳ-TR轴Ⅰ障碍定式临床检查。改编后的一般健康问卷12项分数及内容不变,另外增加8个问题均为高危因素,并进行DSM-Ⅳ-TR轴Ⅰ障碍定式临床检查。结果:①实际完成调查20716人,其中男10343人(49.9%),女10373人(50.1%)。共诊断焦虑症患者127例。②按高中低危因素调整后时点患病率为7.69/1000(95%CI6.50/1000～8.88/1000)。城市患病率4.87/1000,农村患病率8.10/1000,两者差异无显著性意义(u=1.78,P>0.05)。女性患病率明显高于男性,差异有显著性意义(分别为10.42/1000,4.97/1000,u=4.49,P<0.01),男女患病率比例为1:2.10。按不同年龄阶段的人口计算出各年龄段的时点患病率,20～29岁患病率较低(3.17/1000),50～59岁患病率较高(15.56/1000)。③通过12个因素的Logistic回归分析发现,影响广泛焦虑症的危险因素有年龄50～59岁(OR=1.713);保护性因素男性(OR=0.431),年龄20～29岁(OR=0.393),收入10001～20000元(OR=0.568),收入20001～40000元(OR=0.117)。结论:广泛焦虑症的流行病学特征为女性、中老年人患病率较高,男性、青年、收入中等者患病率较低。     

尿中麻黄碱类药物的气相色谱检测法

麻黄碱及其类似物有兴奋作用,属体育比赛禁用药。这类化合物的化学结构相似,故有相似的鉴别特征。本文报道了以气相色谱对尿中麻黄碱(ephedrine)、甲基麻黄碱(methylephedrine)、乙基麻黄碱(ethylephedrine)、去甲麻黄碱(norephedrine)及去甲伪麻黄碱(cathine)进行检测,最后以气质联用法进行确证。本法操作简便,灵敏度高,结果可靠。     

Co-ordinated expression of MMP-2 and its putative activator, MT1-MMP, in human placentation

The spatial expression of mRNA for matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), its putative activator, the membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), and the MMP-2 substrate type IV collagen was investigated in human placentas of both normal and tubal ectopic pregnancies and in cyclic endometrium using in-situ hybridization. Cytokeratin staining applied to adjacent sections was used to identify epithelial and trophoblast cells. In both normal and tubal pregnancies MT1-MMP, MMP-2 and type IV collagen mRNA were highly expressed and co-localized in the extravillous cytotrophoblasts of anchoring villi, in cytotrophoblasts that had penatrated into the placental bed and in cytotrophoblastic cell islands. In addition, the decidual cells of normal pregnancies in some areas co-expressed MT1-MMP and MMP-2 mRNA, with moderate signals for both components. Fibroblast-like stromal cells in tubal pregnancies were positive for MMP-2 mRNA but generally negative for MT1-MMP mRNA. The consistent co-localization of MT1-MMP with MMP-2 and type IV collagen in the same subset of cytotrophoblasts strongly suggests that all three components co-operate in the tightly regulated fetal invasion process. The co-expression of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 mRNA in some of the decidual cells indicates that these cells are also actively involved in the placentation process.      

Pancreatic necrosis: CT manifestations

Pancreatic necrosis is a potential sequela of acute pancreatitis, which pathologically represents a collection of devitalized tissue. Appropriate therapeutic planning requires definition of this irreversibly damaged gland, the presence of which is not consistently diagnosed on the basis of clinical and laboratory data. Over an 18-month period, 22 patients with pancreatic necrosis were studied by one or more computed tomographic (CT) examinations. Retrospective analysis showed the findings to vary with the developmental stage of the necrotizing process. During the acute phase, there was considerable morphologic overlap of necrosis and pancreatic phlegmon. Typical findings were seen in the subacute and chronic stages and included diffuse enlargement of the gland with largely decreased central density. A thick, smooth surrounding rim produced a characteristic saclike configuration. CT-guided aspiration for culture material was performed in four patients with suspected superinfection. Negative gram stain and culture results in two patients allowed surgery to be performed on a more elective basis.
