Efficacy and safety of herbal medicines for idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a systematic review.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines (HMs), as a monotherapy or adjunct therapy, compared to placebo or conventional approaches in the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials from both conventional and alternative medicine sources. Outcome measures were overall improvement, quality of life, reduction of levodopa dose, and adverse events. Nine studies were included, each testing a different HM. Six of the trials had limited internal validity due to major flaws in design, including the lack of proper randomization; insufficient blinding; unclear inclusive criteria in terms of diagnostic criteria, baseline staging, and duration of disease; lack of proper sample size calculation; and insufficient data analysis. Imbalances in gender and ethnicity among the patients in the included trials were observed. No major adverse events emerged, and no specific pattern was detected from the trials describing such data. In addition to major methodological defects, heterogeneity in (1) HM tested, (2) control treatment, and (3) outcome measure hindered in-depth data analysis and synthesis. Current evidence is insufficient to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various HMs. Further studies with improved trial design and reporting, with assessment on cost-effectiveness, quality of life, and qualitative data are warranted.     

人体蠕形螨的生物学研究

用透明胶带法观察蠕形螨在人体面部的寄生、逸出及其在体外的存活能力。结果表明：毛囊蠕形螨（Ｄｅｍｏｄ－ｅｘｆｏｌｉｃｕｌｏｒｕｍ，Ｄ．ｆ．）主要以颚体朝向毛囊底部寄生，且常常有多条群居现象，而皮脂蠕形螨，（Ｄｅｍｏｄｅｘｂｒｅｖｉｓ，Ｄ．ｂ．）一般为单条独居生活。两种人体蠕形螨昼夜均可主动爬出毛囊口出现在皮肤表面，Ｄ．ｆ．以白天１０００～１８００为逸出高峰；Ｄ．ｂ．则以夜间２２００～２００逸出最多。此外，蠕形螨在体外有较强的活动力和存活力。透明胶带法在人体蠕形螨的流行病学调查和生物学研究方面具有较高的应用价值     

心钠素对心肌血管钙超载的影响

提要本研究是在大鼠VD_3+Nicotine引起的心血管钙超载模型上观察心钠素(ANF)治疗(10ug ·kg~-1/d),对钙超载的影响。结果发现,钙超载组动物主动脉、心肌组织钙含量较对照组分别增高24倍(54.4±2.2vs 2.3±0.04fumol/gww)和9倍(16.9±2.1vs1.8±0.1umol/gww)。ANF治疗能显著抑制钙超载的发生,主动脉和心肌组织钙含量较钙超载组分别降低92％(3.8±0.4 umol/gww)和66％(5.6±0.6umol/gww)。离体滋流的钙超载血管环较对照组对去甲肾上腺素收缩反应增强;对乙酰胆碱舒张反应减弱,对硝普钠舒张反应无影响。ANF能显著改善钙超载所致的血管反应性障碍。实验结果表明,ANF具有显著的防治心血管钙超载的作用。

Phase-constrained data extrapolation method for reduction of truncation artifacts

The authors present an improvement to a sigma-filter extrapolation method for the reconstruction of magnetic resonance (MR) images from symmetric discrete Fourier data. By making use of the phase information in the image data, the proposed method can overcome the data inconsistency problem of the original method for handling MR image data with large phase variations, such as those obtained in gradient-echo pulse sequences. Reconstruction results show that its performance is comparable with that of the modified complex sigma-filter method proposed previously to handle the inconsistency problem. However, the new approach has the advantage of reducing computation time by a factor of two with use of a sigma filter applied to real instead of complex images. It is expected that this method will be more practical for use in clinical MR imaging systems.     

我国医院医学装备的建设和管理第十二讲医学装备管理的有关事项(第五部分)

医院设备的使用管理，是指设备从到货起，经过验收入库、出库发放．财产账目、技术档案、使用率调查等一系列程序，直至设备报废为止这一全过程的管理。购置设备物质运动的全过程中．使用所占的时间最长．所以使用管理是一重要的环节。这个环节的任务，可以概括为两个方面：一是保证设备的安全，包括数量上的准确性和质量上的完好性，以便完整地保持其使用价值；二是提高设备的使用率，充分发挥设备的医疗效果，追求更多的社会效益和经济效益。医院设备的使用管理，主要包括以下内容。     

胸腰段脊柱脊髓损伤减压与固定相关问题探讨（附166例报告）

后囊连续环形撕囊在儿童人工晶体植入术的应用

后发障是儿童白内障最常见的并发症，是导致术后视力下降的主要原因，故降低后发障的发生率对提高术后视力及减少弱视的发生非常重要，以往文献报道大多是术后行ND-YAG激光后囊切开术来治疗后发障。笔者近年对儿童白内障采用白内障摘除人工晶体植入联合后囊连续环形撕囊术预防人工晶体术后后囊混浊，效果肯定，报告如下。     

异丙酚静脉全麻复合硬膜外腔阻滞麻醉期间CO2气腹对血流动力学和氧耗的影响

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of intraperitoneal CO2 insufflation on the hemodynamics, oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) during intravenous anesthesia with propofol in combination with epidural block. METHODS: Intratracheal intubation was performed after rapid induction of anesthesia and mechanical ventilation was given. Maintenance of anesthesia was achieved using continuous intravenous propofol infusion (2 mg/kg/h) ?N2O inhalation and intermittent epidural administration. Indices of hemodynamics and respiratory function were collected 5 min before induction, 1 min before CO2 insufflation, and 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 min after the start of insufflation and 5 min after the termination of insufflation. RESULTS: The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), end-tidal PCO2 (P(ET)CO2), VO2 and VCO2 1 min before insufflation were markedly reduced(P<0.01), compared with those recorded before induction. MAP and HR did not undergo any conspicuous changes during CO2 insufflation and 5 min after insufflation termination. Compared with that 1 min before insufflation, PETCO2 was significantly increased 20 min after the start of insufflation (P<0.01), and subsequently carried on the increase though of a lesser scale. VO2 and VCO2 gradually rose after the start of insufflation, and VO2 presented a significantly elevation (P<0.01) 10 min after the insufflation while VCO2 did not show this marked increase(P<0.05) till 20 min after the insufflation in comparison with the levels before insufflation. Subsequently, VO2 continued to rise and VCO2 also retained the increase but of smaller magnitude. CONCLUSION: Intravenous propofol anesthesia combined with epidural block assisted by well-managed excessive ventilation before insufflation can alleviate the adverse effects of CO2 insufflation on respiratory and circulatory systems.
