Body disclosure and self-disclosure-relating two modes of interpersonal encounter

This study investigated the relationship between body-disclosure and self-disclosure. The author drew upon current research in self-disclosure and body image and hypothesized that self-disclosure and body-disclosure would be directly related. Ss who volunteered for the experiment were matched for sex, past disclosure, and willingness to disclose to someone of the opposite sex. A social nudity experience was provided for one group, an outing day was provided for the second group, and a third group received no treatment. Testing included a tape recorded self-disclosure dialogue and ratings of self-and body attitudes. Finally the Ss were asked to write their subjective „experience of the experiment.”︁ Ss who had undergone a body-disclosure experience disclosed more to each other than did Ss in the other groups. Ss also tended to like themselves better after the social nudity experience. Furthermore, they described the body-disclosing day as a peak experience.

抗体介导的排斥反应与临床

随着器官移植体液免疫理论的发展与抗体检测技术的进步,抗体介导的排斥反应(AMR)已逐渐被认识和引起关注。其治疗难度大、逆转率较低,已成为导致移植物失功的重要原因。本文较为系统地介绍了AMR的免疫机制、诊断与防治进展,以及供者特异性抗体的检测技术和临床意义,从而提出供者特异性抗体是引起移植物排斥反应特别是慢性排斥反应的主要原因,移植受者需常规监测抗体以利及时干预和治疗。     

Emergency splenic arterial embolization for massive variceal bleeding in liver recipient with left-sided portal hypertension.

Splenic vein thrombosis with gastric variceal bleeding is difficult to manage, and splenectomy may be necessary to stop variceal bleeding. The authors report the case of a post-orthotopic liver transplant patient with bleeding gastric varices secondary to splenic vein thrombosis treated by partial splenic artery embolization. Successful embolization was performed via transcatheter approach depositing Gianturco coils into the intrasplenic artery resulting in immediate cessation of variceal bleeding. No recurrence of bleeding was noted postembolization. In conclusion, splenic artery embolization can be used as treatment for postliver transplant variceal bleeding with hypersplenism.     

右美托咪定用于腹腔镜子宫切除术的效果探讨

目的探讨右美托咪定用于腹腔镜子宫切除术全麻维持的效果。方法选取该院进行腹腔镜子宫切除术患者100例,随机分为两组,研究组气管插管后静脉泵注右美托咪定;对照组不使用右美托咪定。结果研究组的自主呼吸恢复时间、气管导管拔出时间、术后清醒时间优于对照组（P〈0.05）。结论右美托咪定静脉泵注用于全麻维持可缩短患者的全麻复苏时间,效果显著。     

Testing a parametric function against a non‐parametric alternative in IV and GMM settings

Summary This paper develops a specification test for functional form for models identified by a conditional moment restriction, including IV and GMM settings. The framework is one where the moment restriction is specified as a function of data, a finite‐dimensional parameter vector and a non‐parametric function (an infinite‐dimensional parameter vector). The null hypothesis is that the moment restriction does not depend on the non‐parametric function. The test is relatively easy to implement and its asymptotic distribution is known. The test performs well in simulation experiments.     

Interventional Radiologic Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma—A Cost Analysis from the Payer Perspective

PurposeTo determine whether there is a cost advantage for one of the three commonly performed interventional radiology (IR) procedures (chemoembolization, selective internal radiation therapy [SIRT], radiofrequency ablation [RFA]) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Materials and MethodsA cost analysis from the payer perspective was performed. Primary data were collected from a university hospital, and sensitivity testing was done by comparing coding information obtained at two other tertiary care medical facilities. Medicare allowable reimbursements were used to estimate costs. Decision analytic models using decision tree analysis and Monte Carlo simulations were used to compare alternatives. Simulations were performed comparing all three procedures, followed by a two-way comparison of chemoembolization and SIRT.ResultsSimple decision tree analyses showed that RFA was less expensive compared with chemoembolization and SIRT. Monte Carlo simulations showed average reimbursements for each of the three procedures that was largely dependent on the number of repeat procedures required ($9,362 vs $30,107 vs $35,629 for RFA, chemoembolization, and SIRT; P < .001). When comparing only chemoembolization and SIRT, chemoembolization was the lower cost strategy in most scenarios, but SIRT was lower in cost in more than one-third of the simulations.ConclusionsRFA was the least costly of the three IR strategies in nearly all scenarios studied in these models. Although chemoembolization was less expensive than SIRT in most instances, Monte Carlo simulation showed a preference for SIRT in more than one-third of all scenarios. Sensitivity analyses showed that the most important variables assessed were the need for repeat procedures.
