Unaltered insulin sensitivity during calcium channel blockade with amlodipine

Summary The sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin is of pathophysiological, therapeutic and possibly also of prognostic relevance. Calcium channel blockers are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders that are commonly associated with decreased insulin sensitivity (S_I). To evaluate the effects of calcium channel blokkade on S_I, glucose homoeostasis and lipid profiles, studies were made of S_I (determined by the Minimal Model Method of Bergman), basal glucose and insulin levels, serum total triglyceride (Tg) and lipoprotein cholesterol (C) fractions and certain other variables in 38 healthy young men (24 y) during placebo and after 3 weeks of calcium channel blockade with amlodipine 5 mg once daily. Measurements were made after 3 days on a standard diet (2200 kcal · day^–1, 45% carbohydrates, 40% fat and 15% proteins) and after an overnight fast. Compared to placebo, amlodipine decreased supine systolic blood pressure (P<0.01). Heart rate, body weight and 24 h urinary sodium excretion were unaltered, and so were fasting plasma glucose (placebo vs amlodipine: 4.86 vs 4.83 mmol·1^–1, respectively) and insulin levels (7.7 vs 7.9 U·ml^–1), S_I (10.5 vs 9.6·10^–4 × min^–1 pro U·ml^–1), serum total Tg, C and lipoprotein C fractions.The findings demonstrate unchanged insulin sensitivity and secretion, as well as lipoprotein regulation, during maintenance administration of 5 mg amlodipine daily to healthy young men.This work was supported in part by the Swiss National Science Foundation     

The impact of anticipation of job loss on psychological distress and worksite blood pressure.

The impact of occupational stressful life events on psychological distress and blood pressure was examined among employees of a major New York City brokerage firm undergoing massive layoffs. One hundred thirty-nine employees of the firm, who had participated in a blood pressure screening in 1986, were rescreened during the period of layoffs within their company in 1989. About two-thirds of the 139 employees reported being "somewhat" or "very" anxious or upset in 1989 during the period of layoffs, and psychological distress was significantly elevated among those employees reporting possible or definite layoff or job change and/or difficulty in obtaining a comparable job. However, we found no increase in overall blood pressure level, and no effect of anticipation of job loss on 1989 blood pressure when controlling for 1986 blood pressure level, age, body mass index, work hours, and other demographic variables. On the other hand, employment in a department sold to another employer on the day of screening, as well as employment in a clerical job title, were both associated with significant increases in diastolic blood pressure of about 5 mm Hg.     

利用多种指标对哈尔滨市人群生命质量的评价

采用多种指标综合分析 ,对哈尔滨市区的人群生命质量进行了评价     

"乳癌术后方"对乳腺癌患者生活质量影响的临床研究

为评价“乳癌术后方”对 35 8例乳腺癌患者生活质量的影响。采用欧洲癌症治疗研究组织生活质量核心量表E ORTCQLQ -C30 ,对 35 8例乳腺癌患者运用“乳癌术后方”治疗前后分别进行问卷调查 ,并设对照组 96例。结果“乳癌术后方”治疗 6个月 ,临床症状明显改善 ,与对照组比较 ,P <0 0 5 ;患者生理功能、情感功能、认识功能等都有不同程度的提高 ;生活质量总评价各项治疗前后有明显改变 ,与对照组比较 ,P <0 0 5。提示该方能明显提高乳腺癌患者的生活质量 ,有很好的临床应用价值。     

生命1号健脑强身及促骨生长的实验研究

采用水迷宫法、穿梭箱法、避暗法、跳台法观察了生命1号对小鼠学习、记忆、巩固的影响。灌胃给生命1号可改善东莨菪碱、樟柳碱致小鼠记忆获得障碍。生命1号能明显提高单核细胞吞噬功能，显著增加小鼠血清溶血素的含量，促进T淋巴细胞的转化。除此之外，还能明显地增加阳虚大鼠股骨的重量、长度、直径及皮质厚度；提高血清钙、磷水平；降低血清碱性磷酸酶的含量，具有促进骨骼生长的作用。     

Life Satisfaction in a Sample of Outpatients with Severe Mental Disorders: A Survey in Northern Italy

This paper presents a cross-sectional survey of subjective quality of life in a sample of 40 Italian patients with disabling mental disorders living in the community. The patients self-rated their quality of life by the Satisfaction with Life Domains Scale. They were satisfied in relation to basic needs, such as housing, food or clothing and appreciated to some extent the services received, but were very unhappy about their income and their intimate sexual relationships. This Italian sample appeared less satisfied than most samples of people with severe mental disorders investigated by the same instrument in other countries. This may be related to the high level of psychopathology and disability shown by patients for whom survival in the community is in itself an achievement. However, lack of money and poor sexual life are common concerns of long-term mentally ill. How to address such problems is a major challenge for community psychiatric services.     

哮喘患儿生活质量与吸入糖皮质激素治疗的相关性分析

目的探讨吸入糖皮质激素(ICS)治疗哮喘对患儿生活质量、肺功能的改善情况与吸入治疗依从性的关系,并分析患儿不服从规范吸入治疗的原因。方法对具有应用ICS治疗指征并能完成填写儿科哮喘生存质量调查问卷(PAQLQ)和平行测量肺功能的83例患儿的资料作回顾分析,评估其生活质量、肺功能改善情况与吸入治疗依从性的关系。结果急性发作期,治疗组的FEV1(1秒钟用力呼气量)和PAQLQ评分均值在治疗前后有显著性差异(p<0.05);坚持治疗时间越长,改善越明显。对照组患儿在急性发作期治疗前后FEV1无改善(p>0.05),PAQLQ评分更低。治疗组与对照组的FEV1、PAQLQ评分均值都有显著性差异(p<0.05);非急性发作期,两组治疗前后的FEV1、PAQLQ评分均值无显著性差异(p>0.05)。结论坚持规范使用ICS治疗的哮喘患儿,其生活质量、肺功能改善比治疗不依从的患儿明显提高,发作时严重程度减轻。
