305例老年死亡病例医院感染回顾性调查

本文结果表明,305例老年死亡病例医院感染的发病率为33.8％。感染最多部位为肺部(66.9％),其次为尿路感染(19.4％)。高龄患者,侵袭性操作、多种抗生素联合应用,激素疗法等是诱发医院感染的危险因素。58.8％的病原菌为革兰氏阴性杆菌,37.2％为真菌。31株病原菌药敏结果显示耐药率为33.3％。本文指出合理应用抗生素是预防医院感染的重要措施之一。

Magnetic resonance imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography changes in hypoglycemia-induced chorea.

We present two case studies, one of generalized chorea and one of hemichorea, both after severe hypoglycemia episodes. Both cases showed hyperperfusion in their SPECT scans. The MRI and SPECT findings serve as clues regarding the role of basal ganglion dysfunction associated with chorea.     

Overgrowth of a costochondral graft in reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint.

We report the case of a 3-year-old girl with temporomandibular ankylosis, which was treated with a costochondral graft and required two further resections because the grafted tissue had overgrown.     

隐睾患儿血清FSH、LH、T水平及其临床意义

目的研究隐睾患儿血中促卵泡激素(FSH)、促黄体激素(LID和睾酮(T)激素水平变化,探讨其临床意义及在隐睾症发病中的作用。方法应用化学发光免疫技术检测42例隐睾症和23例斜疝(对照组)患儿血清FSH、LH、T水平。结果单侧隐睾症组和斜疝组之间血清FSH、LH和T水平无显著性差异(P＞0．05)；(2)双侧隐睾组血清FSH水平高于斜疝组,差别有统计学意义(P＜0．05)；单侧隐睾症组血清FSH高于斜疝组,低于双侧隐睾症组,差别无统计学意义(P＞0．05)。结论(1)血清中性激素LH和T水平的变化在隐睾发生中并不起主要作用；(2)血清FSH水平的升高可能反映睾丸功能损害严重程度。

慢性乙型肝炎的中医药生态治疗优势

现代医学的生物、心理与社会医学模式特点之一是对以身心疾病为主的现代疾病的预防和治疗 ,更加注重人体的整体性、强调药物作用的多靶点性 ,即整体调节作用。运用中医学的整体观与辩证论治治疗慢性疾病。如肝病的生态治疗就是发挥绿色天然中药复方的多重综合、双向调节功能 ,调动人体的防御机能 ,强调药物作用的多靶点性及整体调节作用以清除病毒、调节免疫、增强抵抗力、恢复肝功能、防止肝炎的慢性纤维化     

10个钨矿职工死因分析

对中南地区10个钨矿1972—1974年入矿(工龄至少1年)的在册职工28453人进行了队列研究。队列成员追访至1989年,死亡2870人,比全国居民死亡率计算的期望值略高(SMR=1.15,95％CI=1.11—1.19);主要是非恶性呼吸道疾病,特别是尘肺(SMR=66.79,95％CI=59.65—73.68)以及与呼吸道疾病相关的肺心病明显超高(SMR=8.19,95％CI=7.42—9.02),比全国居民死亡率高5倍。癌症死亡数在全死因中虽占第一位,但仅鼻咽癌轻度超高(SMR=1.73,95％CI=1.23—2.37),而肺癌死亡率明显偏低(SMR=0.53)。研究结果不支持矽肺与肺癌病因学相关的假说。     

大鼠壁细胞的黏膜刮取式分离方法

采用黏膜刮取式方法，分离大鼠胃黏膜细胞。用相差显微镜、HE染色、电镜、荧光显微镜、免疫细胞化学染色等方法，对壁细胞进行观察和鉴定，并测定了壁细胞直径。结果成功地分离了大鼠胃黏膜细胞，同时证实，壁细胞在所分离的细胞中直径最大。     

Identifying incident cases of parkinsonism among veterans using a tertiary medical center.

To better understand the impact of incident Parkinson's disease (PD) on the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) and to develop methods applicable to future epidemiological research, we performed a medical record review study at a tertiary referral VHA medical center. Searching the local data base, we identified 782 veterans with diagnostic codes for PD or secondary parkinsonism (SP) between 1998 and 2000. Based on structured medical record review, a movement disorders specialist confirmed diagnoses for incident parkinsonism cases. Among the 782, 191 incident parkinsonism cases were identified (100 PD, 75 SP, and 16 Parkinson's Plus). Incident PD cases were older at diagnosis (74.5 vs. 70.4 yr; P < 0.05) and more likely to be white (81% vs. 62; P < 0.07) than incident SP cases. Diagnostic codes were insufficient to distinguish between incident PD and SP (positive predictive value, 57% and 39%, respectively), and VHA sources failed to identify 21% of confirmed deaths among the incident PD cohort by November 2004. Although the large number of incident cases identified suggests PD is an important cause of disability among elderly VHA users, observed limitations of VHA sources for identifying incident PD cases and determining their vital status should be considered when designing future studies.
