Graduate education in health information systems: having all your eggs in one basket

Until recently, the technological evolution of information systems (IS) within the health care field has been relatively slow and sporadic in comparison to IS development in other industries. With the growing proliferation of powerful computers and personal workstations among health professionals, the advancement of IS technologies in the health care field has great potential. Hence, there is increasing pressure to integrate IS curricula into graduate level health administration education. This article combines earlier IS curricula from both the management and health care perspectives into an integrated framework for the development of a graduate education program in health information systems (HIS). The framework divides the HIS field into three modules: (1) HIS technologies and applications; (2) HIS theories and methodologies; and (3) HIS administration and impacts. This framework is also applied to the structuring of a master's level course for training generalists in HIS with a strong emphasis on the planning and management of hospital information systems.     

乳腺癌组织中—p—MAPK活化对c—fos和c—jun的激活作用

OBJECTIVE: This paper was to investigate the relationship between expression of p-MAPK and oncogenesis of breast cancer. METHODS: Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of p-MAPK and c-fos and c-jun proteins in 68 cases of breast cancers, 42 cases of pericarcinomatous tissues and 7 cases of normal breast tissues. RESULTS: Positive stainings of p-MAPK, c-fos, and c-jun were localized in cancer cell nuclei. The positive rates of p-MAPK, c-fos, and c-jun were 86.8% (59/68), 82.4% (56/68), and 77.9% (53/68), respectively, which were much higher than that in pericarcinomatous tissues (P < 0.01). Of some cases, p-MAPK positive staining was also found in the nuclei of the fibroblastic and angioendothelial cells of cancer stroma. CONCLUSION: Activated or overexpressive MAPK activates the immediately-early oncogenes(c-fos, c-jun), which might play an important role in carcinogenesis of breast cancer and be an early event of oncogenesis of breast cancer.

老年病人麻醉期间氧供需平衡的研究

目的:研究老年病人麻醉期间氧代谢变化,并分析其原因,提出保护老年病人麻醉期间氧供需平衡的方法.方法:选择上腹部手术老年病人(年龄＞65岁)30例,按数字随机法分为全麻组(n＝15)和硬膜外麻醉组(n＝15),并随机选择青壮年上腹部手术病人10例,作全麻对照组.监测麻醉期间老年病人氧供(DO2)、氧耗(VO2)、氧摄取率(ERO2)、混合静脉血氧饱和度(SVO2)和动脉血乳酸含量(ABL)等指标动态变化的情况.结果:老年病人全麻组与硬膜外麻醉组比较:前者麻醉诱导后至术毕DO2、VO2、ERO2均小于后者,并且SVO2、ABL均大于后者,它们之间均有显著性差异或非常显著的统计学意义(P＜0.05或P＜0.01).而老年全麻组与青壮年全麻对照组比较:前者DO2、VO2、ERO2小于后者,SVO2、ABL大于后者,而且它们之间也有显著性差异(P＜0.05).结论:上腹部手术老年病人全麻期间存在氧供需平衡障碍,出现明显的组织缺氧.根本的原因可能是老年病人微循环障碍的存在,而硬膜外麻醉有改善老年病人微循环障碍,纠正氧供需平衡失调的作用.

美尼尔与美尼尔病

美尼尔生活在法国大革命之后医学繁荣时代。他长期从事耳科学实践活动,发现了传统上认为是卒中型脑充血的内耳疾病。尽管这种以他名字命名的疾病─美尼尔病被后世误解,但是,他的发现终于被科学发展所证实。现今人们正在为深入研究美尼尔病作不懈的努力,以期彻底将之征服。     

Laparoscopic bipolar strip-tease appendicectomy

Since its conception, several techniques have been described for laparoscopic appendicectomy. We describe a technique which utilizes a 5-mm bipolar forceps designed to coagulate and cut tissues at the same time; 50 pediatric patients underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy for acute appendicitis using this stripping and teasing technique. No bleeding complications occurred. There were only two postoperative abscesses in the series. We believe that the bipolar laparoscopic striptease appendicectomy technique as developed by the senior author is safe, quick, and effective, even for severe appendicitis.     

A novel cytoplasmic protein with RNA-binding motifs is an autoantigen in human hepatocellular carcinoma

In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), autoantibodies to intracellular antigens are detected in 30-40% of patients. Patients with chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis develop HCC, and when this occurs, some patients exhibit autoantibodies of new specificities. It has been suggested that these novel autoantibody responses may be immune system reactions to proteins involved in transformation-associated cellular events. One HCC serum shown to contain antibodies to unidentified cellular antigens was used to immunoscreen a cDNA expression library, and a full length cDNA clone was isolated with an open reading frame encoding 556 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 62 kD. The 62-kD protein contained two types of RNA-binding motifs, the consensus sequence RNA-binding domain (CS-RBD) and four hnRNP K homology (KH) domains. This protein, provisionally called p62, has close identity (66-70%) to three other proteins at the amino acid sequence level, and all four proteins may belong to a family having CS-RBD in the NH2-terminal region and four KH domains in the mid-to-COOH- terminal region. The homologous proteins are: KH domain-containing protein overexpressed in cancer (Koc); zipcode binding protein, a protein which binds to a conserved nucleotide element in chicken beta-actin mRNA (ZBP1); and a protein which binds to a promoter cis element in Xenopus laevis TFIIIA gene (B3). p62 protein is cytoplasmic in location, and autoantibodies were found in 21% of a cohort of HCC patients. Patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, conditions which are frequent precursors to HCC, were negative for these autoantibodies, suggesting that the immune response might be related to cellular events leading to transformation. However, the possible involvement of p62 autoantigen as a factor in the transformation process remains to be elucidated.

新生儿血镉浓度的性别差异

金属镉对生物体造成的危害早已被人们所认识。１９５５年日本富山神通川下游出现的“痛痛病”即是与人们食入含镉量过高的食物有关。据该地流行病学调查,患者多为４０岁以上的妇女［１,２］,说明女性对镉的危害性较为敏感。本文取长沙地区的新生儿脐血及母血进行血镉的...
