Efficacy and safety of herbal medicines for idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a systematic review.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines (HMs), as a monotherapy or adjunct therapy, compared to placebo or conventional approaches in the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials from both conventional and alternative medicine sources. Outcome measures were overall improvement, quality of life, reduction of levodopa dose, and adverse events. Nine studies were included, each testing a different HM. Six of the trials had limited internal validity due to major flaws in design, including the lack of proper randomization; insufficient blinding; unclear inclusive criteria in terms of diagnostic criteria, baseline staging, and duration of disease; lack of proper sample size calculation; and insufficient data analysis. Imbalances in gender and ethnicity among the patients in the included trials were observed. No major adverse events emerged, and no specific pattern was detected from the trials describing such data. In addition to major methodological defects, heterogeneity in (1) HM tested, (2) control treatment, and (3) outcome measure hindered in-depth data analysis and synthesis. Current evidence is insufficient to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various HMs. Further studies with improved trial design and reporting, with assessment on cost-effectiveness, quality of life, and qualitative data are warranted.

游泳对新生儿健康状况的影响

[目的]探讨游泳对新生儿健康的影响。[方法]将200例新生儿随机分为两组,各100例,对照组采用传统沐浴的方法,观察组采用游泳和抚触。[结果]观察组新生儿生理性体重下降和生理性黄疸程度较轻,新生儿安静,易入睡,且睡眠时间长,新生儿神经行为可安慰性强,颈紧张反射、手握持反应良好,觅食反射活跃,与对照组比较有统计学意义(P<0.05)。[结论]游泳可使新生儿情绪稳定,对外界适应能力增强,促进神经系统发育和智能的成熟,增加食欲和体重,改善体温调节功能。     

2 121例老年急性冠脉综合征患者血清脂类浓度的分析

目的分析60岁以上老年人血清脂类水平的参考值,并探讨急性冠脉综合征与血脂指标的相关性.方法将3 766例健康成人分为≤60岁和＞60岁的两个年龄段,采用生物化学的方法测量他们的血脂水平,找出60岁以上老年人的脂类参考值.同时分析2 121例老年急性冠脉综合征病人的脂类指标.结果 60岁以上老年人血脂参考值为:TC 4.65±1.96×1.05mmol/L;TG 1.02±1.96×0.45mmol/L;HDL-C 1.47±1.96×0.40mmol/L;LDL-C 2.98±1.96×0.56mmol/L;ApoA1 1.32±1.96×0.25g/L;ApoB 0.99±1.96×0.35g/L,并且急性心肌梗死和不稳定性心绞痛病人血清脂类各项指标之间没有显著性差异.结论血清LDL-C/HDL-C＞5和TG ≥1.9mmol/L这两项联合指标比其他单独指标与老年人急性冠脉综合征关系更密切.     

胸膜腔造影和注射粘连剂对难治性气胸的诊治

目的：为更清晰地显示顽固性气胸的漏气部位和性质，为不能耐受手术者摸索一种新的治疗手段。方法：选择１８例患者，先用７６％泛影葡胺行胸膜腔造影，而后在局部注入少量粘连剂。结果：造影后发现多发性肺大泡８例，单发性肺大泡６例，肺大泡伴粘连带４例。病变分别位于左上肺，右上肺，中下肺野及叶间裂。注射粘连剂后，１５例一次成功，３例第二次成功。随防６～１８个月，未见复发。结论：该方法易掌握，无明显副作用。病变显示明显，易被患者接受，具有明显的临床效果和推广价值     

青年人群血清流感抗体水平纵向监测

通过对北京４０５例青年１９９２～１９９４年流感抗体的纵向监测结果表明，３年中Ｂ型流感表现很活跃，抗体分别在１９９３年和１９９４年春出现高峰。Ａ型流感抗体在１９９３年春出现高峰。其中２１８例个体连续３年６次抗体检测，据抗体波动提示：３年中流感３个亚型总的感染频率为４４０％，每个体每年平均为１．４次，其中Ａ１型感染频率最高，每个体３年内平均１．８次；Ａ３型次之为１．５２；Ｂ型为１．０６。流感３个亚型抗体在机体内有６７％～７３％高水平抗体个体可在０．５～１年内下降至≤２０的低水平。２１８例个体中Ａ１型抗体３年内长期低水平者有３％，Ａ３有９％，Ｂ有３８％。     

溴氰菊酯对白纹伊蚊（Aedesalbopictus）C6／36细胞株的细胞遗传学效应

本研究选择１０μｇ／ｍｌ、２０μｇ／ｍｌ、４０μｇ／ｍｌ浓度的溴氰菊酯处理白纹伊蚊Ｃ６／３６细胞，以ＭＭＣ作为阳性对照物，观察溴氰菊酯处理２４ｈ后对Ｃ６／３６细胞染色体畸变率和姐妹染色单体互换（ＳＣＥ）频率的影响。结果显示，三个浓度的溴氰菊酯对Ｃ６／３６细胞染色体畸变率均没有显著影响（Ｐ＜０．０５）；溴氰菊酯浓度在４０μｇ／ｍｌ时可诱导Ｃ６／３６细胞ＳＣＥ频率轻度增高（Ｐ＞０．０５），而溴氰菊酯浓度在１０μｇ／ｍｌ、２０μｇ／ｍｌ时，对Ｃ６／３６细胞ＳＣＥ频率没有诱导作用。表明溴氰菊酯对Ｃ６／３６细胞的遗传学效应较弱     

Effect of anoxia on in vitro bladder function.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the ability of the in vitro whole bladder to empty in response to bethanechol administration was inhibited by anoxia while its ability to generate pressure decreased only slightly. One question was not addressed by these early studies: Is the anoxic effect selective for receptor-mediated contractile stimulation (as opposed to non-receptor-mediated contractile stimulation)? The present study was designed to compare the effect of anoxia on the ability of the in vitro bladder to generate pressure, sustain pressure, and empty in response to field stimulation (FS), bethanechol and KC1 administration. Each New Zealand white rabbit was anesthetized with pentobarbital and the bladder removed. The bladder was mounted as a whole-bladder preparation in a 300-ml isolated bath containing Tyrode's solution at 37 degrees C and equilibrated with 95% O2, 5% CO2. Anoxia was produced by changing the gas mixture to 95% nitrogen, 5% CO2. The effect of anoxia on the response to FS, bethanechol, and KCl was determined at different times after the initiation of anoxia. The results of these studies can be summarized as follows. (1) Anoxia induced a time-dependent decrease in the rate of pressure generation, the magnitude of pressure generation, and the percent volume emptied in response to FS and bethanechol. (2) At all time periods of anoxia, the ability of the bladder to empty was inhibited to a significantly greater degree than either the rate of magnitude of pressure generation (for both FS and bethanechol administration).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
