诊断超声对人胚胎安全性的研究

目的　探讨诊断级B超对人胚胎发育的安全性。方法　取 12 0名孕 6～ 8周拟行人工流产孕妇 ,随机分成正常对照组 (Ⅰ组 )、辐照 5min(Ⅱ组 )、10min(Ⅲ组 )、2 0min(Ⅳ组 )、30min(Ⅴ组 )于 1h内取绒毛 ,超声辐照 30min(Ⅵ组 )于 7～ 10d后取绒毛。检测绒毛的生物化学变化。结果　诊断剂量超声辐照 2 0min可致人体宫内绒毛发生生物化学变化。丙二醛 (MDA)值随超声剂量增加而升高 (PⅠ -Ⅲ >0 .0 5,PⅠ .Ⅳ <0 .0 1,PⅠ -Ⅴ <0 .0 1) ,而超氧化物歧化酶及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性随超声辐照剂量增加而下降 (PⅠ -Ⅲ >0 .0 5,PⅠ -Ⅳ <0 .0 1,PⅠ -Ⅴ <0 .0 1)。对照组与Ⅵ组比较P >0 .0 5,提示损伤作用是可逆性的。结论　诊断超声辐照时间 2 0min以上时对绒毛可造成潜在危害

Economic study of neutropenia induced by myelotoxic chemotherapy

This article describes the economic and social impact of nutropenia induced by myelotoxic chemotherapy in patients with cancer during the period 1 January–31 December 1991. Neutropenia is a life-threatening complication of chemotherapy in patients with cancer. The episodes of (ever and infections originating from neutropenia require hospitalization of the patient until the granulocyte levels are restored. The calculation of the economic cost was based on the following parameters: length of stay in hospital, analytical tests performed on the patient, type and cost of drug therapy administered, blood transfusions performed, health assistance received, cost of isolation and absence from work. The overall economic cost of neutropenia in patients with cancer reached 329,775 pesetas ($2,893). Cost of the health-care staff was the largest budget item in relation to the total health resources estimated.     

舌脉诊法考

舌脉诊法主要观察舌腹面血管系统的变化,为我国所特有。《内经》首载舌脉刺血治疟、狂、忧虑无言、心病等,以盛即粗张为施术指征。晋以后发展为诊法,葛洪用于虏黄,巢元方用于噤黄与五色黄病情深浅判断,《医门方》用于预测难产母子吉凶,陈自明编《产难生死诀》以广流传。本法继承了络脉诊法的理论,重视络脉形色观察,以盛与青黑为逆,从血瘀痰郁辨证。明清未见明显发展,但作为奇穴刺血治舌肿、喉闭、黄疸并未中断,周学海发挥刘守真“玄府论”,倡舌细络瘀血说,难能可贵的是与今微循环障碍理论符合。１９６４年张赞臣再倡,研究者日众,临床多而基础少,认为对瘀证及肿瘤、肝病、肺心病有较高诊断价值。

Transient decrease in sound tolerance levels following hearing deprivation in normal-hearing subjects

ObjectiveTo determine the circadian influence on sound sensitivity produced by temporal hearing deprivation in healthy normal human subjects.DesignParticipants underwent bilateral earplugging before completion of anthropometry, the author's developed questionnaire, the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Inventory, pure tone audiometry (PTA), stapedial reflex thresholds (SRT), distortion products otoacoustic emissions input/output (DPOAE-I/O), and uncomfortable loudness levels (ULLs). Afterward, the participants were randomly divided into group A, starting at 8:00 a.m. and finishing at 8:00 p.m., and group B, starting at 4:00 p.m. and ending at 4:00 a.m. Serum cortisol levels and audiological test results were obtained at the beginning and end of the session and 24-h free urinary cortisol levels were measured.Study sampleThirty healthy volunteers.ResultsPTA was 2.68 and 3.33 dB HL in groups A and B, respectively, with no statistical difference between them. ULLs were significantly lower in group A compared to group B, with an average of 8.1 dB SPL in group A and 3.3 dB SPL in group B (p < 0.0001). A SRT shift was observed in group A, with no difference in group B, and a night shift in DPOAE-I/O in group B.ConclusionsReduced loudness tolerance is demonstrated during daytime hearing deprivation in contrast to nighttime; this may be due to increased central gain in the awake cortex.     

Preliminary experience with interactive guided brain biopsies using a vertically opened 0.5-T MR system

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of brain biopsies performed within a vertically opened MR system. We worked with the interventional 0.5-T MR “SIGNA SP” (General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, Wis.) with an integrated tracking device “Flashpoint Position Encoder” (Image Guided Technologies, USA). As a holding device for this instrument we constructed a special frame. The whole system allows an exact adjustment of an optimum biopsy direction and guidance of the biopsy in a non-stereotactic, interactive mode in near real-time. As biopsy tools we used MR-compatible aspiration and specially made side-cut needles (Daum, Germany; E-Z-EM, USA). We performed a prospective diagnostic brain biopsy study in 18 patients. Guidance of the needle was carried out using gradient-echo single-slice technique. The sample was taken after controlling the exact position of the needle tip on spin-echo images. In 12 cases an exact neuropathological diagnosis was possible. In 6 cases of negative biopsy (4 aspiration biopsies) the samples were not representative. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of interactive MR-guided minimally invasive brain biopsies in an open MR system. The best results were achieved using cut needles for biopsies of contrast-enhancing lesions visible on T1-weighted gradient-echo guidance sequence.

A Review of the Diagnostic Methods Reported in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders

This review summarizes subject selection and diagnostic procedures documented in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. One hundred forty-two empirical articles published between February 1993 and April 1997 were examined. Reviewers independently evaluated articles using a coding instrument developed by the authors. Results indicated that a majority of researchers reported the use of one or more standard diagnostic criteria in classifying their subjects. However, numerous studies did not report the methods by which the diagnostic criteria were quantified or applied. Additionally, there was a lack of clear specification of inclusion and exclusion criteria for comorbid disorders. Improving the documentation of diagnostic practices in research on autism will benefit researchers and practitioners.
