Attitudes Toward Transplantation in U.K. Muslim Indo-Asians in West London

The worldwide shortage of organs for transplantation makes it important to understand why some oppose donation. Attitudes vary with religion and ethnicity. Accordingly, we undertook a qualitative study of the attitudes of 141 U.K. Muslim Indo-Asians to organ donation. Participants were observed, focus group discussions held and in-depth individual interviews conducted. We identified a high level of alienation from the health care system in general. With respect to organ donation in particular, its importance was generally discounted, often in deference to authority figures within the community who appeared negatively disposed. The culture-specific issues arguing against donation included a sense of the sacredness of the body, a fatalistic approach to illness, a belief that organs took on an independent role as 'witnesses' to an individual's life on Judgement Day and an anxiety that the donor would have no control of the probity of the recipient of an organ. We believe these data suggest a need to improve in a culturally sensitive fashion the provision of health information provided to this community.     

Public Attitudes Toward Incentives for Organ Donation: A National Study of Different Racial/Ethnic and Income Groups

Attitudes toward monetary and nonmonetary incentives for living (LD) and deceased donation (DD) among the U.S. general public and different racial/ethnic and income groups have not been systematically studied. We studied attitudes via a telephone questionnaire administered to persons aged 18-75 in the continental United States. Among 845 participants (85% of randomized households), less than one-fifth participants were in favor of incentives for DD (range 7-17%). Most persons were in favor of reimbursement of medical costs (91%), paid leave (84%) and priority on the waiting list (59%) for LD. African Americans and Hispanics were more likely than Whites to be in favor of some incentives for DD. African Americans were more likely than Whites to be in favor of monetary incentives for LD. Whites with incomes less than $20 000 were more likely than Whites with greater incomes to be in favor of reimbursement for deceased donors' funeral expenses or medical expenses. The U.S. public is not generally supportive of incentives for DD, but is supportive of limited incentives for LD. Racial/ethnic minorities are more supportive than Whites of some incentives. Persons with low income may be more accepting of certain monetary incentives.

Vaginal topography does not correlate well with visceral position in women with pelvic organ prolapse

The objective was to determine whether vaginal topography accurately predicts the location of the pelvic viscera on fluoroscopy in women with pelvic organ prolapse. Eighty-nine women undergoing preoperative evaluation for reconstructive pelvic surgery at a tertiary care referral practice formed the study population. Each woman completed a comprehensive urogynecologic history and physical examination, which included a quantified (POP-Q) assessment of her vaginal topography, as described by Bump et al. In addition each woman underwent pelvic floor fluoroscopy (PFF). Visceral sites were selected which corresponded clinically to the vaginal sites measured by the POP-Q. The most dependent portion of the bladder, small intestine, rectum and urethrovesical junction was measured. Twenty-five (28%) women had stage II prolapse, 34 (38%) had stage III prolapse, and 28 (32%) had stage IV prolapse. The remaining 2 women were symptomatic, with stage I prolapse. For the entire study population there was no correlation between the fluoroscopic position of the small bowel and/or rectum and any apical or posterior wall POP-Q site (C, Ap or Bp). There was no correlation with the fluoroscopic position of the UVJ at rest or with straining and the corresponding POP-Q site (Aa). The fluoroscopic position of the most dependent portion of the bladder correlated only modestly with the upper (Ba,ρ=0.51) and lower Aa,ρ=0.68) anterior vaginal wall POP-Q sites. In women without prior surgery (n=33) there was only modest correlation between the fluoroscopic position of the bladder and the corresponding POP-Q site (Aa,ρ=0.71). In this unoperated subpopulation there was no correlation with PFF and any other POP-Q site. In women who had undergone prior hysterectomy (n=25) or hysterectomy with anterior and/or posterior colporrhaphy (n=17), there was only a modest correlation of the most dependent portion of the bladder and the upper anterior vaginal wall site (Bb,ρ=0.67 andρ=0.55, respectively). It was concluded that vaginal topography does not reliably predict the position of the associated viscera on PFF in women with primary or recurrent pelvic organ prolapse. EDITORIAL COMMENT: The authors seek to evaluate whether physical examination of vaginal prolapse using the POP-Q test correlates with fluoroscopic findings of visceral position. Surprisingly, little correlation is found, even in previously unoperated patients. One reason for this lack of correlation between the two modalities of evaluation may lie in the use of two different fixed points of reference: the POP-Q examination uses the hymen as the fixed point of reference, whereas the investigators chose to use the posterior edge of the femur as a fixed bony point of reference when evaluating pelvic floor fluoroscopy in the same patient. The lack of correlation between visual inspection of vaginal wall prolapse and what lies deep to that prolapse should not be used to invalidate the use of the POP-Q as a means to evaluate pelvic prolapse. Rather, the findings support the premise behind the ICS/AUGS/SGS committee on pelvic organ prolapse, specifically that clinical pelvic examination of the vaginal walls looks at surfaces only, and as such cannot determine what, if any, organ lies deep to that surface.

慢性肺心病并发多器官衰竭（附70例报告）

１９８６～１９９２年我院共收治急性发作期慢性肺心病１９６例，其中因严重肺部感染发生多器官衰竭（ＭＯＦ）者７０例（３５．７％），平均受损脏器２．５个，死亡２６例，总病死率为３７．１％。其中２和３个脏器受损者的病死率分别为２０．１％和４４．４％，而４和５个脏器受损者则均死亡。血气分析显示ｐＨ和ＰａＯ２值与受损脏器数目呈负相关，而ＰａＣＯ２值与受损脏器数目呈正相关。本文讨论了肺心病因肺部感染并发ＭＯＦ的发病机理，并提出防治的措施。     

Glutamine and Other Amino Acid Losses During Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration

Abstract: Serum amino grams and daily losses of glutamine (Gin) and other amino acids (AAs) into diafiltrate were measured during the first 5 days of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) in 6 ICU patients with acute renal failure (ARF). Four patients had ARF as a part of multiple organ failure (MOF) of septic origin, and 2 patients had isolated ARF because of primary renal disease. During the study, all the patients received defined total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The mean daily AA losses into dialysate were relatively low (0.61 ± 0.1 g N ) and reached 4.5% of the daily AA substitution. Gln represented 32.7 ± 5.9% of the total AA losses (0.19 ± 0.04 g N ). Serum levels of Gin (p = 0.002) and of most other AAs were significantly lower in the patients than in the control subjects (AA analysis in 16 healthy volunteers). Phenylalanine (Phe) was the only AA that was increased significantly (p < 0.01) in the patients. The mean patient serum concentrations of Phe and tyrosine were significantly higher (p < 0.03) than the correspondent concentrations in dialysate, but the lysine concentration was higher in dialysate (p < 0.03). The serum and dialysate concentrations of other AAs did not differ. Gin in serum decreased significantly (p < 0.03) on the second day of CVVHDF but returned to the baseline levels subsequently. Serum concentrations of Phe increased on the second day of CVVHDF (p < 0.05). Serum concentrations of other AAs remained stable during the whole study. We conclude that Gin losses into dialysate during CVVHDF are relatively low, but CVVHDF itself may induce changes in Gin metabolism and distribution that are reflected by a decrease of serum Gin levels at the institution of this treatment. Therefore, the need for Gin supplementation in ICU patients is even greater in the first days of CVVHDF.
