Attenuation of antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs by a new xanthine derivative (HWA448).

We examined the effect of a new xanthine derivative, HWA448, on antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in actively sensitized guinea pigs. Guinea pigs were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on two occasions, separated by 10 days. Two weeks after the second injection, the animal was placed in a two-chambered whole body plethysmograph and specific airway resistance (SRaw) was monitored for 10 min after an aerosol inhalation of BSA. HWA448 prevented the increase in SRaw after challenge (at 5 and 20 mg/kg i.p.). Aminophylline also prevented the increase in SRaw at 20 mg/kg, but not at a 5-mg/kg dose. The concentration of HWA448, which produced 50% relaxation of the tracheal rings constricted with 0.1 mM of histamine, was 49.9 microM as compared with 18.2 microM in aminophylline. HWA448 has a protective effect on antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs and may be a useful agent in the therapy of bronchial asthma.

撰写医学期刊稿件的统计学参考

医学期刊上刊载的论文多数包含统计学分析。统计学方法的正确运用对医学科研论文的质量是至关重要的。然而,目前发表的许多论文在统计学方面存在着不同程度的缺陷。本文作者尝试为医学期刊稿件的作者们提供一个统计学方面的参考,希望能对提高医学期刊稿件的统计学水平有所裨益。 　　1　材料与方法部分 　　1.1　统计设计　 　　1.1.1　一般原则　投往医学期刊的论文多数是研究工作的总结、概括和升华。统计设计是提高论文质量的必要前提。只有缜密的统计设计才能引导出有说服力的研究结论。可以说,如果一篇稿件的统计设计不合理或存在明显缺陷,不必去阅读论文的其余部分,编辑们就有足够的理由不予采用。在材料与方法部分,作者应提供有关统计设计的所有必要信息。这里“必要”的标准是应使读者能够根据这些信息,按照作者所报告的作法（需保密的技术和数据除外）重复该项研究。这些信息应包括：统计研究设计的名称和主要做法;观察单位的类型、采用或排除的条件;样本来源与获取（如抽样）方法;观察单位分组方法;样本大小与为什么采用这样数量的样本;观察指标的类型与获取数据（观测）的方法;不同类型（调查或临床实验等）的研究,还需要一定的附加信息。     

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of young people: A comparison between China and the United Kingdom

Purpose: As COVID-19 spreads globally and affects people''s health, there are concerns that the pandemic and control policies may have psychological effects on young people (age from 17 to 35 years). This psychological impact might vary in different countries, and thus we compared the prevalence of selfreported psychological distress, loneliness and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among young people in the United Kingdom (UK) and China at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data of this study came from two sources. One source was the first wave of COVID-19 study in Understanding Society, a special wave of the UK household longitudinal study, which provided the highquality, national-wide representative panel data. The sample comprised 1054 young people. The other source was an online survey on the mental health of 1003 young people from Shanghai, a highly developed area in China. The questionnaire included questions on the prevalence of common mental disorders (cut-off score ≥ 4), loneliness and potential PTSS (cut-off ≥ 33). Univariable analyses were conducted to test the differences in the self-reported prevalence of psychological distress and loneliness between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were run to explore the predictors of psychological distress and loneliness among all the young people from England and Shanghai. Results: Among the samples with self-reported psychological distress, the UK sample accounted for 34.4% (n = 1054) and the Chinese sample accounted for 14.1% (n = 1003). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Additionally, 57.1% of people in the UK and 46.7% in China reported that they sometimes or often felt lonely, of which the difference is statistically significant (p < 0.001). Regression analysis of the entire samples showed that nationality, gender, psychotherapy and loneliness were significant predictors of 12-item General Health Questionnaire scores, while the variables of age and living alone were not. Significant predictors of self-reported loneliness were the nationality, gender, age, living alone and psychotherapy. In China, 123 (12.3%) young people, 49 men (11.3%) and 74 women (13.0%), met the criteria of PTSS symptoms (cut-off scores ≥ 33). These scores were only collected in China. Conclusion: This evidence suggests that mental health and loneliness reported by young people were lower in China than that in the UK during the studied period. More research is needed to understand these differences. If the differential negative psychological impacts are confirmed, country-specific measures of prevention and intervention should be adopted to improve the mental health of young people under the ongoing impact of the pandemic.     

经口入路机器人甲状腺手术的研究进展

近年来,甲状腺疾病的发病率逐年上升,其中青年女性患者占较大比例.随着年轻患者对美容的要求提高,多种入路的内镜甲状腺手术已广泛成功开展.这些术式尽管避免了在颈部做切口,并取得了较好的美容效果,但不可避免地在其他部位留下切口瘢痕.经口入路手术被认为是真正无痕的手术,具有更好的美容效果,随着近年来达芬奇手术系统的不断完善,经口入路机器人甲状腺手术也取得较大发展.与其他术式相比,经口入路机器人甲状腺手术具有多种优势,如提供中线入路、最低程度地减少组织损伤、3D高清放大视野、手臂震颤过滤及7个自由度Endo-wrist等.因此,本综述对近年来经口机器人甲状腺手术的研究进展进行总结,为临床甲状腺疾病的治疗提供学习借鉴.     

Soil microbial activities and carbon and nitrogen fixation

Soil microbial activity that reflects microbiological processes of soil microorganisms is the potential indicator of soil quality, as plants rely on soil microorganisms to mineralize organic nutrients for growth and development. Soil microorganisms also process plant litter and residues into soil organic matter, a direct and stable reservoir of carbon and nitrogen that consists of living and dead organic materials subject to rapid biological decomposition. In natural systems, the action of soil microorganisms is a major determinant of efficient nutrient cycling. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on the fate of soil microorganisms in terms of carbon and nitrogen fixation.     

Studies an morphological typing of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions

Morphological typing of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) in 300 caws of malignant tumors and 140 cams of benign lesions was analyzed and five morphological types of ApNOR were described in detail. In malignant tumors, the diffuse type (78%) was the most frequently seen, and in benign lesions, the nucleolar type (92.85%); the difference was thus highly significant (P < 0.001). The intranucleolar and aggregate types were not observed in benign lesions. There was no obvious difference in the proportion of the mixed type in benign and malignant lesions (P > 0.05). The relationship between grade of malignancy and morphological typing of AgNOR and its clinical significance are discussed.
