Inter-cohort differences in coronary heart disease mortality in the 25-year follow-up of the seven countries study

Sixteen cohorts of men aged 40–59 years at entry were examined with the measurement of some risk factors and then followed-up for mortality and causes of death for 25 years. These cohorts were located in the USA (1 cohort), Finland (2), the Netherlands (1), Italy (3), the former Yugoslavia (5), Greece (2), and Japan (2), and included a total of 12,763 subjects.Large differences in age-adjusted coronary heart disease (CHD) death rates were found, with extremes of 45 per 1000 in 25 years in Tanushimaru, Japan, to 288 per 1000 in 25 years in East Finland. In general, higher rates were found in the US and Northern European cohorts as compared to the Southern European and Japanese cohorts. However, during the last 10 years of follow-up large increases of CHD death rates were found in some Yugoslavian areas. Out of 5 measured entry characteristics treated as age-adjusted levels (serum cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, cigarette smoking, body mass index and physical activity at work), only serum cholesterol was significant in explaining cohort differences in CHD death rates.Over 50% of the variance in CHD death rates in 25 years was accounted for by the difference in mean serum cholesterol. This association tended to decline with increasing length of follow-up, but this was due to the great changes in mean serum cholesterol in the two Jugoslavian cohorts of Velika Krsna and Zrenjanin. When these two cohorts were excluded the association increased with time.Changes in mean serum cholesterol between year 0 and 10 helped in explaining differences in CHD death rates from year 10 onward.It can be concluded that this study suggests that mean serum cholesterol is the major risk factor in explaining cross-cultural differences in CHD.     

特发性血小板减少性紫癜患者感染的危险因素及预防措施

目的　探讨ITP患者感染的危险因素 ,提出预防感染的相关措施。方法　对 6 7例ITP住院患者进行回顾性调查 ,对患者感染部位、性别、年龄、合并糖尿病情况、住院天数、使用激素及丙种球蛋白情况进行评估及统计学处理。结果　感染以呼吸系统最多 ,其次为泌尿道感染 ;年龄大、合并糖尿病、住院天数长 (>4周 )、应用激素量大与感染发生呈正相关 ,并进行Logistic多元回归分析 (P值分别 >0 .0 5、<0 .0 5、<0 .0 5、<0 .0 5 ) ,OR值分别约 1.385、9.16 9、8.90 0、18.6 6 7。结论　应用激素量大、合并糖尿病、住院天数长 (>4周 )是ITP患者感染的主要危险因素 ,其中应用激素量大最为重要 ,合并糖尿病次之 ;必须控制易患因素 ,有效地预防感染。     

2型糖尿病患者高危因素分析

目的 分析2型糖尿病患者各种高危险因素控制状况及其与慢性并发症的关系。方法 记录464例50岁以上的2型糖尿病患者收缩压、舒张压、血脂、糖化血红蛋白和体质指数，按有无并发症分为两组进行分析。结果 有并发症组糖尿病病程、血压、总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和血纤维蛋白原明显增高。Wald卡方分析显示糖尿病病程和收缩压有统计学意义。多数患者这些危险因素未得到很好的控制。结论 糖尿病患者存在着多种高危因素，有慢性并发症者更为严重，应注意综合治疗。     

云南陆良县农村已婚育龄妇女阴道炎的危险因素分析

对云南省陆良县的２２８７例已婚育龄妇女阴道炎患病情况及其危险因素进行了分析，通过Ｌｏｇｉｓｔｉｃ回归多因素和卡方检验单因素分析。结果表明：陆良县的阴道炎患病率为１０．２３％，Ｌｏ－ｇｉｓｔｉｃ回归筛选出的主要危险因素是职业、目前是否使用避孕方法、妊娠次数、每月性交次数及月经期间用不洁水洗下身；单因素卡方检验筛选出的主要危险因素为年龄、文化程度、职业、结婚年龄、妊娠次数、人流次数、自然流产数、总死产数、死流产总数、目前是否使用避孕方法、过去是否用过避孕方法、每月性交次数及月经期间用不洁水洗下身。     

Risk-Taking among Adolescents Who Say They Can Get a Handgun

In a survey of 5657 community-residing adolescents, those who said they could get a handgun in two days reported similar and those who said they could not get a handgun reported fewer risk behaviors and less violence perpetration and victimization than adolescents who have their own handgun. Adolescents who said they could get a handgun reported more exposure to and experience with firearms than those who said they could not get a handgun. Risk reduction efforts regarding adolescents should be expanded to include adolescents who say they can get a handgun.     

Decreased sensitivity to experimental pain in adjustment disorder.

An altered perception of pain has been described for several psychiatric disorders. To date the influence of adjustment disorders (AD) on pain perception has not been described. Here, we investigated perception of experimentally induced pain in 15 patients suffering from AD (subtype with depressive symptoms) and controls matched for age and sex. Thresholds and tolerances were assessed for thermal and electrical pain on both sides of the body. We found an overall increase of pain thresholds and tolerances in AD patients as compared to controls, predominately on the right side of the body. Analogue findings have been reported for pain perception in major depressive disorder (MDD). Of the data obtained, only thermal pain threshold on the right arm correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms. Although the underlying pathology is elusive it is likely that the mechanisms for reduced pain sensitivity are comparable in MDD and AD.

Failure of oral implants: aetiology, symptoms and influencing factors

The use of oral implants opened a wide range of prosthetic treatment possibilities in edentulous patients. Although the reported success rates of oral implants are high, failures do occur. This paper reviews the current knowledge about the aetiology, the signs and symptoms and the possible influencing factors of implant failure. Possible causes of implant failure are thought to be infection of the periimplant tissues, occlusal overload, or a combination of both. Nevertheless, pinpointing one of these as the aetiological factor in a particular case is difficult and should be handled reluctantly. Although the cause might seem obvious, influencing factors could play a role as well. Gaining insight into these processes might stimulate the adoption of preventive action and therefore increase the predictability of the treatment outcome with oral implants.
