Therapeutic efficacy and tolerance of diclofensine in psychoreactive depression--a double-blind comparison with placebo

Diclofensine increases the availability of the three neurotransmitters dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin by inhibiting their re-uptake into synaptosomes. In a randomized double-blind parallel-group comparative study, a total of 40 patients, some hospitalized (n = 11) and some ambulatory (n = 29), mean age of 39.6 years +/- 12 S.D., with psychoreactive depression were treated for 30 days with 2 X 25 mg/day of diclofensine or with placebo. The assessments of efficacy indicated superiority of diclofensine over placebo. The number of "improved" patients (reduction in the overall depression scores by 50% or better) relative to that of "not improved" patients, was found to be statistically significant (p less than 0.025) on day 10 of treatment. With respect to individual symptoms, anxiety showed a significantly (p less than 0.05) better improvement under diclofensine than under placebo. Side effects were observed in one patient in each group. One patient (diclofensine group) reported a transient slight somnolence, the other (placebo group) reported episodes of transient dizziness. Based on these data it can be concluded that diclofensine is a well tolerated and effective drug for the treatment of symptoms associated with reactive depressions.     

身体形态指数ABSI和身体圆度指数BRI的发展与应用

目的 对身体形态指数(ABSI)和身体圆度指数(BRI)的发展进行介绍,并对其应用情况进行综述,为人体形态测量提供参考。方法 在Pubmed、中国知网等电子文献数据库中进行文献检索,详尽收录迄今ABSI与BRI对高血压、糖尿病、代谢综合征、心血管疾病等常见疾病的发病率以及全因死亡率预测的相关研究。结果 ABSI与BRI均对高血压、糖尿病、代谢综合征、心血管疾病发病呈现出一定的预测能力。其中,BRI在预测糖尿病、代谢综合征发病方面优于ABSI,但与身体质量指数、腰围、臀围、腰高比等传统测量指标相比,并未表现出显著的差异。ABSI对全因死亡率的预测能力则明显优于传统测量指标和BRI。结论 ABSI与BRI作为两项新的形态学指标,是BMI等传统身体指数测量的补充,对疾病发病具有一定的预测能力和应用性。今后的研究可以从两项指标对疾病的单独作用以及与传统指标的联合作用着手,同时探索其在不同社会人口学特征人群中的拟合情况,提供更有利的研究证据和科学积累。

宁夏回族自治区心血管疾病高危人群筛查与相关危险因素研究

目的 初步确定宁夏回族自治区人群心血管疾病高危率,了解高危类型及聚集情况,分析相关危险因素,为宁夏心血管疾病的预防、早诊早治提供参考依据。方法 采用多阶段分层整群抽样方法, 选择8个县、区开展筛查。对调查对象进行问卷调查、体格测量和实验室检查。计数资料用率表示, 组间比较采用χ2检验,影响因素采用logistic回归分析。结果 共调查65249人,心血管疾病高危人群占比18.85%（12298例）。男性高危率（20.21%）高于女性（17.81%）,差异具有统计学意义（χ2=59.97,P <0.05）。回族高危率（18.40%）低于汉族（19.00%）,差异无统计学意义（χ2=4.03,P>0.05）。城乡(χ2=55.73)、教育程度(χ2=200.27)、职业(χ2=232.01)、家庭年收入(χ2=152.36)、婚姻状况(χ2=70.49)、BMI(χ2=1412.11)、吸烟(χ2=12.51)和饮酒(χ2=19.02)等因素的心血管疾病高危率差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）。血压高型是心血管病高危的主要类型,为12.73%（8309例）。随着年龄、BMI值的增加,成为心血管病高危人群的风险性越大;吸烟、饮酒、不在婚、文盲及小学文化、从事行政及专业技术人员均为心血管病高危因素,呈现正相关性;而女性是其保护因素,呈现负相关性。结论 宁夏回族自治区心血管病高危率低于全国平均水平,血压高型是其主要高危类型。建议重点关注低学历、低收入、农村和高龄人群。     

2016—2020学年徐州市泉山区中小学生因病缺课监测结果分析

目的 分析徐州市泉山区中小学生因病缺课情况,为制定疾病预防控制措施、降低学生因病缺课率提供依据。方法 收集2016—2020学年泉山区中小学生因病缺课监测数据,分析不同年份学生因病缺课的流行特征,采用χ2检验进行统计比较。结果 2016—2020学年泉山区学生总因病缺课率为0.15%,呈逐年上升趋势(χ2趋势=21 732.656,P<0.001);总因病缺课率小学生(0.16%)高于初中生(0.11%,χ2=1 419.185,P<0.001)、高中生(0.07%,χ2=2 426.638,P<0.001),初中生高于高中生(χ2=491.878,P<0.001);传染性疾病导致的缺课人次数占因病缺课总人次数的66.05%;学生因病缺课高峰主要集中在11月至次年1月。结论 小学生是缺课的重点关注人群,传染病是中小学生疾病防控工作的重点,应采取综合干预措施,降低学生缺课率,保障学生身体健康。
