Digital imaging with a photostimulable phosphor in the chest of newborns

To evaluate use of a digital photostimulable phosphor imaging system in the neonatal nursery, 150 newborns were divided into three groups of 50. In the first two groups, screen-film and computed radiographs of the chest were obtained at the same radiation exposure; in the third group, computed radiographs were obtained with a 50% dose reduction (half-exposure computed radiographs). All images were blindly evaluated by three readers who scored the quality of visualization of the mediastinum, lung, bone, soft tissues, and endotracheal and nasogastric tubes, and also image density. No statistical differences in visualization of tubes existed among the three groups. Visualization of the mediastinum, lung, bones, and soft tissues was statistically significantly better on computed radiographs than on half-exposure computed radiographs; visualization of the lungs, bones, and soft tissues was statistically significantly better on screen-film radiographs than half-exposure computed radiographs. Image density was statistically better on computed and half-exposure computed radiographs than on screen-film radiographs.

The effect of plasma solutes on total-body-water measurements via NMR.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been reported as an alternative method for quantitating deuterium oxide concentrations in the evaluation of total-body-water in humans. However, the presence of dissolved plasma proteins results in an underestimation of deuterium NMR (2H-NMR) intensity ratios, thereby causing an overestimation (5-6%) of total-body-water (TBW) values determined from nonsublimed patient plasma samples. We demonstrate that plasma samples must be corrected for the volume percentage of water in plasma. Correction of initial 2H-NMR intensity ratios with a factor of 0.93 results in intensity ratios comparable to those determined from plasma samples subjected to vacuum sublimation to remove all plasma solutes.

p53基因(今又生~)联合支气管动脉化疗治疗肺癌15例近期疗效观察

目的探讨瘤内注射或经支气管动脉灌注p53基因联合支气管动脉灌注化疗(BAI)治疗肺癌的安全性、疗效和给药途径。方法经病理证实的15例肺癌,首先在CT引导下经皮穿刺瘤内注射或经支气管动脉灌注p53基因(今又生~),2～5天后,行BAI灌注化疗药物;然后根据病情变化再次进行基因治疗和/或BAI。治疗后常规使用螺旋CT定期复查,评价治疗效果。结果全部15例患者均完成上述治疗,并接受随访2～11个月。有效率(CR+PR)46.7%(7/15),1例肺部肿块消失,6例肺部肿块缩小,3例纵隔淋巴结缩小,1例胸水减少,仅1例观察到肿瘤长大,14例临床症状有不同程度缓解93.3%(14/15)。p53治疗后6例出现发热(38℃～40℃),未观察到基因药物的其它严重副作用,无严重操作有关并发症出现。结论本研究结果初步显示,作为肿瘤综合治疗的一部分,p53基因治疗与BAI联合应用,是一种治疗肺癌安全、有效的方法,提高了BAI的治疗效果。经皮瘤内注射p53是否为一种较好的给药途径值得进一步探讨。     

Addressing quality of life issues in adolescents: social skills interventions.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether social skills training can improve the social interaction skills of adolescents with craniofacial conditions (CFCs) in a natural environment (school lunchroom). DESIGN: This study used a pre-post between-group comparison design. Differences between treatment and control subjects were analyzed via a repeated measures analysis of variance. SETTING: The observations were conducted in the respective school lunch-rooms of the adolescents. Social skills groups were conducted in an outpatient clinic setting. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Structured data based on 45 minutes of observation was coded for type, frequency, and duration of social contact. Specific measures included subject initiations and responses, peer initiations and responses, conversation events, total positive communication, and frequency of nondirected comments. RESULTS: Both target and peer-controlled total communication improved across time with adolescents receiving social skills intervention showing significantly more improvement than those adolescents not receiving direct social skills interventions. Adolescents receiving treatment participated in significantly more target initiated conversations lasting at least three interchanges and showed a trend toward a greater frequency of target initiations and positive responses to peer initiations. Peers were more likely to respond to treatment subject initiations after intervention. Fewer treatment subjects used nondirected communication, whereas control subjects continued to use nondirected communication at a slightly increased frequency. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides preliminary evidence that social skills training can increase the frequency of positive social interactions with peers for adolescents with CFCs.
