维生素K3粉末降解动力学

在温度为50～90℃,相对湿度为50～93%范围内,维生素K₃的变色速率方程为—dR/dt=k_RR,降解速率方程为d(C_o—c)/dt=k_C(c_o—c)^1/2,光解速率方程为—dR/dt=k_P(R_o—R)^-1。k_R和_C与热力学温度T和相对湿度RH的关系通式为k=k′exp(—E_A/RT)exp(m′RH)。在实验温度和湿度范围内,变色和降解的表观活化能平均值分别为105.51和130.72 kJ/mol。     

Head injury in child abuse: evaluation with MR imaging

To evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of head injury in child abuse, the authors compared the findings at head MR imaging and computed tomography (CT) in 19 abused children. Subdural hematomas (15 cases), cortical contusions (six cases), and shearing injuries (five cases) were demonstrated to particular advantage with MR imaging. CT remained superior in the detection of subarachnoid hemorrhage. MR imaging appears to be valuable in the assessment of patients with suspected intracranial injury due to child abuse.     

Sexual Surrogate Partner Therapy: Legal and Ethical Issues

The Ben Lewin film The Sessions has drawn attention again to the potential role for sexual surrogate partners and sex workers in enabling persons with disabilities and impairments to give expression to their sexual needs and desires. However, away from the big screen, the ethics of registered health practitioners in themselves engaging in such therapies are highly problematic. Difficult too is the role of such practitioners in being ‘the therapist’ responsible for enabling or brokering sexual contact between their patients and those offering such services for financial reward. In some jurisdictions, arrangements involving sexual surrogate therapy (especially where the therapist benefits from it financially) may not be lawful. Further, in spite of many assertions one way and the other, there are no data enabling evaluation of the success rates of the interventions of sexual surrogates or sex workers. Whether positive outcomes to such interactions are likely in most circumstances, given that the provision of services is predicated upon idealised attachments, is questionable. It is also unclear whether sexual surrogates’ adherence to an ethical code effectively ameliorates the potential for counter-therapeutic consequences from the commodification of intimacy, and it is far from straightforward to identify what steps should be taken by the referring health practitioner to select a suitable provider of sexual services to their patient or client, and then to monitor whether the arrangement is achieving its objectives.     

Human Rights and Review of the Involuntary Status of Patients with a Mental Illness: Kracke after Momcilovic

Arguably, Australia's most significant judicial pronouncement on the human rights of those with mental illnesses was made in 2009 by Justice Bell, the then President of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (“VCAT”). The decision is an exhaustive analysis of the application of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Vic) to the involuntary status of a person subject to a community treatment order in Victoria. It occurred in the context of delays in the conduct of reviews of the status of a mentally ill person by Victoria's Mental Health Review Board (“the Board”). The outcome of the hearing was a declaration that the Board had breached the person's human rights to a fair hearing, even though the person's involuntary status on a community treatment order was not disturbed by VCAT. Whilst some important aspects of Justice Bell's decision concerning the general methodology to be applied when analysing human rights were overturned in the subsequent Court of Appeal decision of R v Momcilovic [2010] VSCA 50, the latter decision did not concern mental health and so leaves Kracke as the most detailed articulation and analysis of human rights within this difficult sphere.     

选择性κ阿片激动剂K-Ⅱ与U-50488的药理作用比较

K-Ⅱ系k阿片激动剂U-50488的同类物。通过部分离体和整体实验比较了K-Ⅱ与U-50488的药理作用。实验发现,K-Ⅱ抑制电刺激兔输精管收缩的IC₅₀值为0.42 nmol/L,U-50488为26.5 nmol/L;K-Ⅱ抑制小鼠运动功能(横筛法)的ED₅₀值为1.7 mg/g,U-50488为15.3 mg/kg;K-Ⅱ的小鼠LD₅₀值为152.5 mg/kg,U-50488为118.4 mg/g;K-Ⅱ明显降低小鼠自发活动的作用比U-50488强5倍。结果表明,K-Ⅱ是一个药理作用较U-50488强的k受体激动剂。     

MGB1 Poor Adherence to Hypertension Treatment Guidelines: An Analysis of Therapeutic Choices

The recent Sixth Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC) reiterated long-standing recommendations that Stage 1 hypertension (BP ≥ 140/90 mm Hg) without comorbidity should be treated initially with diuretics (DI) or beta blockers (BB). Yet market research suggests that many physicians prefer to use other drug classes, such as calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the determinants of therapeutic choice in hypertension.
METHODS: We surveyed by mail a stratified random sample of 10,000 U.S. cardiologists, internists, and family/general practitioners. Physicians were queried about their practice environment and their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antihypertensive therapy, including their choice of drugs to treat patients with specified clinical profiles. The probability that physicians would follow JNC guidelines Stage 1 hypertension was analyzed using multiple logistic regression with stepwise backward elimination to select variable with p < 0.001.
RESULTS: Completed surveys were received from 1,023 physicians. 86.7% prescribe drug therapy for Stage 1 hypertension, and 19.5% (22.5% of drug prescribers) limit their choices to DI and BB. Guideline conformity was higher among physicians who: practice in academic medical centrers; are older; are general practitioners (versus general internists); have smaller caseloads; have fewer hypertensive patients; have higher proportions of HMO, Medicaid, and uninsured patients; and experience more formulary restrictions. Cardiologists and family practitioners were less likely than internists to follow guidelines.
CONCLUSION: JNC guidelines are better accepted by academic physicians, older physicians who have more expenence using DI and BB, physicians with smaller caseloads and hence more time for follow-up and therapy adjustment, and physicians who face drug reimbursement constraints.
