心理支持疗法对机械通气患者应激反应的影响

目的 观察心理支持疗法(PST)对ICU患者机械通气应激反应的影响。方法 将34例连续机械通气时间在20h的清醒患者，随机分为采用标准的PST方法进行治疗的观察组和对照组，观察焦虑抑郁程度和应激反应改变情况。结果 对照组患者的焦虑抑郁程度明显高于观察组，部分应激反应激素水平升高幅度也明显大于观察组。结论 PST可通过缓解机械通气患者的焦虑抑郁等不良情绪状态减轻机械通气带来的各种心身应激反应，有利于提高机械通气治疗的有效性和安全性。     

Genome-wide scan identified QTLs underlying femoral neck cross-sectional geometry that are novel studied risk factors of osteoporosis.

A genome-wide screen was conducted using a large white sample to identify QTLs for FNCS geometry. We found significant linkage of FNCS parameters to 20q12 and Xq25, plus significant epistatic interactions and sex-specific QTLs influencing FNCS geometry variation. INTRODUCTION: Bone geometry, a highly heritable trait, is a critical component of bone strength that significantly determines osteoporotic fracture risk. Specifically, femoral neck cross-sectional (FNCS) geometry is significantly associated with hip fracture risk as well as genetic factors. However, genetic research in this respect is still in its infancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To identify the underlying genomic regions influencing FNCS variables, we performed a remarkably large-scale whole genome linkage scan involving 3998 individuals from 434 pedigrees for four FNCS geometry parameters, namely buckling ratio (BR), cross-sectional area (CSA), cortical thickness (CT), and section modulus (Z). The major statistical approach adopted is the variance component method implemented in SOLAR. RESULTS: Significant linkage evidence (threshold LOD = 3.72 after correction for tests of multiple phenotypes) was found in the regions of 20q12 and Xq25 for CT (LOD = 4.28 and 3.90, respectively). We also identified eight suggestive linkage signals (threshold LOD = 2.31 after correction for multiple tests) for the respective geometry traits. The above findings were supported by principal component linkage analysis. Of them, 20q12 was of particular interest because it was linked to multiple FNCS geometry traits and significantly interacted with five other genomic loci to influence CSA variation. The effects of 20q12 on FNCS geometry were present in both male and female subgroups. Subgroup analysis also revealed the presence of sex-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for FNCS traits in the regions such as 2p14, 3q26, 7q21 and 15q21. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings laid a foundation for further replication and fine-mapping studies as well as for positional and functional candidate gene studies, aiming at eventually finding the causal genetic variants and hidden mechanisms concerning FNCS geometry variation and the associated hip fractures.     

功能性消化不良的突出症状与临床特征及病理生理学机制的关系

背景与目的：功能性消化不良（FD）被认为是一类由不同病理生理原因导致的多种机能紊乱而促发的症状。Rome Ⅱ委员会建议将具有同种病理生理学及临床特征的FD患划分为感觉明显疼痛组和感觉不适组两个亚组。该研究旨在分析显疼痛或感觉不适与病理生理学机制间的关系，评价是否考虑到个体的显性症状将会产生更好的结果。方法：持续性FD患（n=720；489例女性；年龄41．3±0．6岁）填写消化不良调查问卷并确定出最令人烦恼的症状。分析此显症状在人口统计学、临床、病理生理学特点上的相互联系（研究592例患幽门螺杆菌感染、胃排空情况，对332例患行胃敏感性、顺应性试验）。结果：根据Rome Ⅱ标准，22％疼痛明显，78％不适感明显。疼痛明显的患超敏性的发生率较高（44％ vs 25％），且在这些病例中观察到的胃排空迟缓较少出现（16％ vs 26％），但是有较多的重叠。详细分析表明可能有8种消化不良症状其中之一较为突出。

痧病的诊治体会

痧病在中医院校的教科书上并无专门的论述,而在春夏之季的农村则尤为常见。痧病有其临床表现特征,在治疗上也有许多简、便、验、廉且易行的方法。笔者在农村从事医疗工作多年,深感有必要对此加以研究或整理,使人们有一正确的认识。兹就痧病的诊疗谈谈个人的一点体会。1典型病例案1:刘某,男,24岁,学生,1997年7月25日初诊。因身重、肢体酸痛、胸闷1周而求诊。1周前因劳动时淋“毛毛雨”,感觉乏力,身重,全身肌肉酸痛,胸闷,饮食不振,纳谷乏味,微恶风寒,头胀痛,头重,颈项不适,大小便正常。前医诊为“风寒湿型感冒”,应用西药速效伤风胶囊及中药荆…     

Stimulation of tumor growthin vitro andin vivo by suramin on the VX2 model

Suramin is an antitrypanosomal compound with confirmed efficacy against several human malignancies. It is generally assumed that its mechanism of action includes the interaction with different growth factors, unlike most of the anticancer drugs. Its anticancer activity has not been testedin vivo against squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and toxicity of suraminin vivo andin vitro on the VX2 tumor model at therapeutic monitored plasma concentrations. We determined the pharmacokinetics of suramin in rabbits, and modelized its administration in order to obtain plasma concentrations between 150 and 300 μg/ml throughout the treatment course of 3 weeks. Under these conditions, antitumor effects of suramin were evaluatedin vivo by comparing liver tumor involvement in suramin-treated and control rabbits. Liver involvement was quantified by image analysis andin vitro effects were also determined at the same concentrations.In vivo, suramin promoted liver tumor growth significantly (p<0.05), compared to untreated controls.In vitro, suramin significantly stimulated tumor cell growth at concentrations above 200 μg/ml (p<0.01). Suramin may have stimulatory effects on tumor growth in squamous cell carcinoma at relevant plasma drug concentrations. Caution should be taken in further trials in patients with squamous cell carcinomas.
