侗族预防医学思想初探

在实地调查搜集民族民间传统医药资料的基础上,把广泛流传于侗族民间预防疾病的方法,以及民族风情、民俗习惯中对防治疾病非常有利的内容进行综合分析归纳;对侗族预防医学思想的形成进行了初步探索,为深入系统整理侗族预防医学思想体系提供了具有一定价值的参考资料。     

列车乘务员SCL—90评定结果分析

采用ＳＣＬ—９０症状自评量表对某铁路分局４６７名列车乘务员的心理卫生状况进行了分析。结果显示总均分、阳性症状均分、阳性项目数、九组症候群因子分、达到或超过中等严重程度的发生频数均显著高于对照组。经多元逐步回归分析,仅细菌总数和二氧化碳对列车乘务员心理卫生状况有一定影响,其原因多与工作环境的不良因素和工作性质有关。     

Treatment of infected left ventricular assist device using antibiotic-impregnated beads

There is no well-established therapy for treating infections of heart-assist or artificial heart devices, a serious problem with life-threatening consequences. We used a promising new approach in which antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads were placed around an implanted left ventricular assist device to control an external blood pump infection in a bridge-to-transplant patient. In this case report, we describe the potential of antimicrobial-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads for in situ control of infections involving external surfaces of cardiovascular devices.     

National health expenditures, 1998

In 1998, national health care expenditures reached $1.1 trillion, an increase of 5.6 percent from the previous year. This marked the fifth consecutive year of spending growth under 6 percent. Underlying the stability of the overall growth, major changes began taking place within the Nation's health care system. Public payers felt the initial effects of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA), and private payers experienced increased health care costs and increased premium growth.     

两种LASIK微型角膜刀的临床应用探讨

目的　比较ＫＮ－ ５０００ 型微型角膜刀与Ｍｏｒｉａ 微型角膜刀在ＬＡＳＩＫ 术中制作角膜瓣时的优缺点。方法　选用连续病例５６ 例１０３ 眼,随机分ＫＮ 组和Ｍｏｒｉａ 组,ＫＮ 组２８ 例５３眼,术前近视度数平均为－ ９－２１±７－４１Ｄ,散光≤－５－００Ｄ,Ｍｏｒｉａ 组２８ 人５０ 眼,术前近视度数平均为－１０－４７±３－７３Ｄ,散光≤－２－５０Ｄ,术中分别用ＫＮ－５０００ 微型角膜刀和Ｍｏｒｉａ 微型角膜刀制作角膜瓣。结果　两组病例角膜瓣边缘整齐。基质面：ＫＮ组全部术眼光滑、规则,Ｍｏｒｉａ 组部分术眼有“搓衣板”现象。瓣异常：ＫＮ组游离瓣２ 眼,Ｍｏｒｉａ 组不全瓣５ 眼。ＫＮ组角膜瓣质量优于Ｍｏｒｉａ 组,瓣异常率低于Ｍｏｒｉａ 组。结论　ＫＮ－ ５０００ 微型角膜刀在ＬＡＳＩＫ术中制瓣时性能及安全性、稳定性优于Ｍｏｒｉａ 组微型角膜刀。ＫＮ－ ５０００ 微型角膜刀还具有良好的易学性和进行ＬＡＳＩＫ角膜板层移植的功能。     

Anti-tumor ribonuclease, combined with or conjugated to monoclonal antibody MRK16, overcomes multidrug resistance to vincristine in vitro and in vivo

Onconase, a ribonuclease isolated from Rana pipiens oocytes and early embryos, is a member of the RNase A superfamily. Onconase has anti-neoplastic properties both in vitro and in vivo, and is undergoing clinical evaluation. In the present study, Onconase was combined with or conjugated to MRK16, an anti-P-glycoprotein (Pgp) monoclonal antibody. The interaction of these combinations with vincristine (VCR) against parental and multidrug resistant (MDR), Pgp expressing, human colon carcinoma cells caused increased VCR cytotoxicity in vitro and enhanced survival of athymic nude mice given transplants of drug resistant HT-29(mdr1) cells in vivo. The results suggest that combination treatment with Onconase and other agents that modulate the chemosensitivity of Pgp-expressing human tumor cells has the potential to overcome MDR.     

Guidelines for use access to compuuterized medical records

Computerization of the medical record allows the unique capability to provide differential access to various components of the record by users outsid of the immediate provider/patient health care setting Guidelines for designers, programmers, and users of computerizeid medical records have been defined in order to clarify which data elements or categories are appropriate for communication to various parties involved in utilizing patients information.
