苯作业工人白细胞降低者的总估校正现患率

选择乡镇工业苯作业工人４次外周血白细胞计数中的间隔半年的两次数据，应用俘获再俘获法，计算其白细胞降低者的总估校正现患率（ＡＣＰＲ）。结果苯接触组为３６．８ｌ％（２９．１４％～４４．４８％），对照组为１２．７１％（７．２０％～１８．２２％）具有显著差异，其相对危险度为２，９。用常规法求得的４次检出率分别是：苯接触组为２６．３７％，１８．７３％，２７．９３％，３６．７６％；对照组为６。８５％，７．３８％，７．９４％，１５．００％。均在其ＡＣＰＲ之９５％可信限内，可见ＡＣＰＲ计算方法简便、结果准确，值得推广。对于稳定的人群，可用其每年一次的健康监护资料计算ＡＣＰＲ。     

测定血清及尿β2微球蛋白评估健康老年人肾功能的价值

测定72例健康老年人（60-84岁）和65例健康青中年人（20-50岁）血清和尿β2微球蛋白（β2m)，发现前血清β2m浓度比后明显增高（p<0.001)；老年组≥70岁尿液β2m浓度也明显增高（p<0.05)。结果表明肾小球滤过率下降随年龄增长而降低，以后再出现肾小管功能减退。本试验较血清尿素氮、肌酐和内生肌酐清除率测定更为敏感。

牡蛎功能短肽的制备及ACE抑制活性

以新鲜无壳牡蛎为原料,采用酶水解的方法制备牡蛎短肽,经SephadexG 15分离,并用HPLC测定其相对分子质量分布,通过HPLC法定量马尿酸测定各组分的ACE(血管紧张素转化酶)抑制活性。结果表明,牡蛎水解液中相对分子质量较大和较小部分的ACE抑制活性偏低,只有相对分子质量在一定范围内的短肽,对ACE具有较好的抑制作用,质量浓度为0.4mg/mL的牡蛎功能短肽的ACE抑制率为51.4%.

Before-birth climatologic data may play a role in the development of allergies in infants

While an exacerbation in allergic symptoms corresponding to seasons has long been reported, few studies have investigated the association between the season of birth and allergic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the climatologic data before and after birth affected the incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) and the results of allergy-related blood tests in early infancy. From February 1995 to January 2000, 2136 infants were tested for AD and followed for 12 months. AD patients were tested by using allergy-related blood tests. Data were compared according to the month of birth and the climatologic data using a computed statistical software package. Six hundred and thirty infants had AD before 12 months old, and significant differences were found according to the season of birth (p < 0.0001). Infants born in spring showed the lowest (22.3%) incidence, while those born in autumn showed the highest (34.6%). In 369 patients, total serum IgE levels, and serum specific IgE levels with egg white at 3 months old were also different according to the season of birth. All of these levels were lower in patients born in spring and summer, and higher in patients born in autumn and winter. Furthermore, the cumulative sunshine amount during the 3 months before and after birth was inversely correlated, while the average temperature over the 3 months before birth was positively correlated to the incidence of AD according to the month of birth. The climatologic data around birth may play an important role in whether an infant develops allergies.     

Tetanus incidence and immunity in Poland

The level of tetanus antibody was determined with the passive hemagglutination method in 503 sera of 10 to 90-year-old persons. Immunity to tetanus was age-dependent: the percentage of immune persons amounted to 90% –100% in persons below 40 years and then declined to 70% and 60% in persons in the 40 – 50 and above 50 year-old groups, respectively. Males above 30 years are better immunized than females. The comparison of the results of the present study with results of several periodic surveys performed in the last 27 years showed gradually increasing immunity level in all age groups. The findings are in agreement with age-dependent incidence of tetanus, which has become now, in Poland, a disease primarily of older people.     

南通市居民健康知识水平现状及对策

Heart rate response to breathing: dependency upon breathing pattern

Summary. Heart rate responses to stepwise and periodic changes in lung volume were studied in seven young healthy males. Stepwise inspiration and expiration both resulted in an increase in heart rate followed by a rapid decrease in heart rate. The fastest heart rate was reached in 1·6 ± 0·5 s and in 3·6 ± 1·4 s in response to inspiration and expiration, respectively (P < 0·01). The slowest heart rate was reached in 4·8± 1·0 s and in 7·6± 1·9 s in response to inspiration and expiration, respectively (P < 0·01). Following this biphasic change the heart rate returned to a steady level. The difference between the fastest and the slowest heart rates was significantly larger in response to inspiration (21·7 ± 7·3 beats per minute) than in response to expiration (12·0±7·3 beats per minute; P < 0·01). Periodic changes in lung volume were performed with frequencies from 3·0 to 12·0 respirations per minute (r.p.m.). The changes in heart rate showed a constant amplitude in the frequency range below 5·5 r.p.m. Maximal heart rate changes were found at frequencies of 5·5 to 7·0 r.p.m. Changes in heart rate decreased in a linear manner on a log-log scale in the frequency range above 7·0 r.p.m. The relation between frequency and changes in heart rate is explained by interference between the transient changes in heart rate induced both by inspiration and by expiration. It is concluded that if heart rate changes in response to periodic changes in lung volume are to be used as a measure of vagal function a number of factors have to be taken into consideration and to simplify the analysis of heart rate responses to breathing we recommend, instead, the use of the transient changes in heart rate induced by stepwise changes in lung volume.
