Quality evaluation of oral health record-keeping for Finnish young adults

The objective of this study was to assess the quality of oral health record-keeping in public oral health care in relation to dentists' characteristics. A random computerized selection of 239 subjects, born in 1966-71 and clinically examined during 1994 in an administrative unit of the public oral health service in southern Finland, included 4-5 cases per dentist, the number of dentists being 50. Data concerning actual clinical examinations and treatment courses carried out in public dental clinics came from original oral health records. Criteria for assessment of oral health record entries were based on Finnish health legislation and detailed instructions of health authorities. The results showed that each patient's identity was available in 90% of documents. Recordings concerning continuity of comprehensive care were infrequent; a questionnaire concerning each patient's up-to-date health history was in only 26% of the oral health records. Notes concerning each patient's bite and function of the temporomandibular joint were in 37% of the records, notes about oral soft tissues were in 11%, and the check-up interval was recorded in 21%. Recording of indices on periodontal and dental status varied greatly; the community periodontal index of treatment need was found in 93% and the index of incipient lesions in 16% of the records. Female dentists and dentists younger than 37 years tended to record more information. Dentists should be encouraged to better utilize the options offered by oral health records for individual treatment schemes.     

败血症病人死亡危险性预评估方法的探讨

目的:探索可早期预测严重败血症病人死亡的临床和实验室指标或系统模型。方法:对ICU连续收治的26例严重败血症病人行前瞻性观察28天,分析其死亡的相关临床和实验室指标。结果:共有14人(54％)死亡,多死于第1周内(74％)。根据循环中的细胞间粘附分子-1水平能早期预测其脏器衰竭和死亡。一些临床指标水平在死亡病人与生存病人之间差别较大,其中包括血总胆红素、pH值、红细胞压积、氧合指数、动静脉血氧差、四项SIRS指标和一些血流动力学指标等。结论:综合上述指标可以尝试建立起了一个能够早期评估病人死亡可能性的积分系统。     

耐一线药物及注射药物对耐多药结核病治疗效果的影响

背景和目的:最近的研究结果表明,对其他一线药物和注射类药物(如卡那霉素、卷曲霉素)等耐药是影响耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)患者治疗效果的独立危险因素.本研究旨在明确耐其他一线药物和注射类药物对韩国不合并人免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染的MDR-TB患者临床疗效的影响.方法:采用回顾性队列研究分析1996年1月至2005年12月首尔国家大学附属医院治疗的211例MDR-TB患者治疗效果,排除7例丢失和7例迁出,对197例患者进行了最终分析.     

抛光过程中复合树脂表面粗糙和光泽度的变化

目的探讨抛光过程中复合树脂表面粗糙度和光泽度的变化规律。方法测定９种复合树脂抛光前的压接面及经过２４０目、３２０目、４００目、６００目、８００目、１２００目金刚砂纸抛光后抛光面的粗糙度值和光泽度值。结果随着由粗至细逐级抛光,粗糙度值稳步下降,至８００目时均恢复至抛光前的程度;而光泽度值在６００目以前变化甚微,８００目时骤然回升,至１２００目时有５种树脂已达到或超过抛光前的水平。结论复合树脂必须抛光至一定精细程度,才能获得理想的滑泽表面。     

蒿甲醚对大鼠肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞DNA的影响

目的:蒿甲醚除了具有良好的临床治疗作用外,对正常组织有极大的副作用。实验拟观察蒿甲醚对大鼠肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞的影响。方法:实验于2005-09-20/2007-03-10在山东省泰山医学院生命科学研究所、中心实验室和机能实验室完成。①实验材料:蒿甲醚购自昆明制药厂,分析纯,使用前先进行预处理,处理方法:研磨后用溶液配成1g/L的母液,超声助溶解后供实验用。Wistar大鼠70只,体质量(70±15)g,雌雄不拘,由山东大学医学院实验动物中心提供。实验过程中对动物处置符合动物伦理学标准。②实验方法:将大鼠随机分为普通饲料对照组(n=10)和实验组(n=60),实验组分6个亚组,分别在饲料中加入0.1,0.2,0.4,0.8,1.6,3.2mg/kg的蒿甲醚。采用单细胞凝胶电泳技术观察大鼠肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞DNA的改变。结果:70只大鼠,饲养过程中实验组死亡6只,死亡原因为饲料添加蒿甲醚造成。当饲料中的蒿甲醚浓度为0.1mg/kg时,大鼠肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞DNA损伤率与对照组相比,差异无统计学意义;饲料中的蒿甲醚浓度超过0.2mg/kg时,大鼠肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞DNA损伤率明显增加,与对照组相比,差异有统计学意义。且损伤程度与饲料中蒿甲醚含量呈正相关。结论:当饲料中的蒿甲醚浓度超过0.2mg/kg时,蒿甲醚可在一定程度上改变肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞的DNA生物学特性。且随着蒿甲醚浓度的升高,这种损害更为明显。
