碘杂环化合物对离体豚鼠心乳头肌动作电位和收缩力的作用

采用细胞内微电极记录技术,同步观察了3,6-[二甲氨基]-二苯并碘因甲酸盐(IHC-64)对豚鼠心乳头肌细胞动作电位和收缩力的作用。50μmol/L IHC-64抑制心肌收缩力,而不影响快反应动作电位。增加IHC-64浓度,动作电位0相最大峰值(APA)、除极速率(dp/dt_(max))和复极50％和90％时程(APD_(50)、APD_(90))被明显抑制。IHC-64抑制慢反应动作电位,提高细胞外钙浓度可拮抗这种抑制。结果提示,IHC-64主要抑制慢Ca~(2+)内流,同时也部分抑制快Na~+内流,它可能是一种新型B类钙通道阻滞剂。

‘Translation is not enough’: using the Global Person Generated Index (GPGI) to assess individual quality of life in Bangladesh,Thailand, and Ethiopia

Currently few subjective measures of Quality of Life (QoL) are available for use in developing countries, which limits their theoretical, methodological, and practical contribution (for example, exploring the relationship between economic development and QoL, and ensuring effective and equitable service provision). One reason for this is the difficulty of ensuring that translated measures preserve conceptual, item, semantic, operational, measurement; and functional equivalence (Herdman, M., Fox-Rushby, J., & Badia, X. (1998). Quality of Life Research, 7, 331), which is illustrated by an account of the translation, pre-piloting, and administration of a new individualised QoL measure, the Global Person Generated Index or 'GPGI'. The GPGI is based on the widely used Patient Generated Index (Ruta, Camfield, & Martin, (2004) Quality of Life Research, 13, 1545.) and offers many of the advantages of the participatory approaches commonly used in developing countries, with added methodological rigour, and quantitative outcomes. It was successfully validated in Bangladesh, Thailand, and Ethiopia, using quantitative and qualitative methods--open-ended, semi-structured interviews (SSIs), conducted immediately post-administration. Both the measure and method of 'qualitative validation' described later in the paper offer an exciting alternative for future researchers and practitioners in this field. The quantitative results suggest the GPGI shows cultural sensitivity, and is able to capture both the areas that are important to respondents, and aspects of life one would expect to impact on QoL in developing countries. There were strong correlation between scores from the GPGI and SSIs for the area of health, and moderate correlations for 'material wellbeing' (MWB)('Material wellbeing' refers to respondents' perceptions of their achievement in the areas of farming, debt reduction, assets, crops, livestock, job, land, property, and agriculture) and children. Weak to moderate correlations were observed between the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the GPGI; however, the highest coefficient was between the GPGI and the most conceptually similar item. Statistically significant differences were seen in GPGI scores between rich and poor, urban and rural respondents, and different countries. Health and material wellbeing scores, derived from the SSIs, also showed a linear relationship with GPGI scores, with a suggestion of curvilinearity at the higher levels, as predicted by a general QoL causal model. In conclusion, the GPGI has great potential for use in this area, especially when supported by extensive interviewer training, and supplemented with a cognitive appraisal schedule.     

Social and psychological factors associated with adolescents'' self-acceptance of occlusal condition

Studies using plaster models of teeth and photographs simulating the full range of occlusal conditions have found high agreement between measures of adolescent social acceptability of these conditions and perceived need for orthodontic treatment. This study examined the association between adolescents' acceptability of their own occlusal condition, severity of malocclusion, and likelihood of undergoing orthodontic treatment. The factors predicting the acceptability of occlusal condition of 13-yr-olds, as assessed by the SASOC scale, were measurements of acceptability of general physical appearance, and the severity of occlusal condition. Variability in SASOC scores appeared to be independent of gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. Gender, and severity of occlusal condition were important differences between subjects who had received, planned, or were undergoing orthodontic treatment, and those who had not. Neither SASOC scores nor perceived need for treatment accounted for a significant proportion of the variance between these groups. Although adolescents seeking orthodontic treatment had a greater severity of malocclusion than those not, little difference was observed between these groups in acceptance of occlusal condition.     

兔孤束核区微量注射γ-氨基丁酸的降压效应

在53只乌拉坦麻醉家兔身上,观察到延髓孤束核(NTS)区注射γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)使血压显著下降,安定(DZ)有相似的降压效应,荷包牡丹碱(BIC)和印防己毒素(PIC)则使血压升高;促甲状腺素释放激素(TRH)和甲硫脑啡肽(MTP)对血压无明显影响;延髓的另一些区域应用GABA等药物后血压变化不明显;提示GABA能神经递质系统参与心血管活动的抑制性中枢调节,NTS区是其作用部位之一。     

Conformation of glycyl residues in globular proteins

Glycine is unique among the amino acids in view of its symmetric nature. While the overall distribution of glycyl residues in the (φ, ø) plane is near-symmetric, there can be certain preferences for the individual conformations. An analysis of the observed glycyl conformations in 70 proteins has been carried out to find the influence of residues adjoining the glycyl residues. For this purpose, the (φ, ø) plane has been divided into two regions: (a) the region in which φ is negative and (b) the region in which φ is positive. The analysis is done in terms of the number of conformations occurring in these regions. It has been found that while the overall percentage distribution of glycyl residues between the positive and the negative φ regions is 54:46, the distribution shows asymmetry when the examples are sorted out in terms of X-Gly and Gly-Y doublets. The asymmetry becomes more prominent when the data are sorted out into triplets X-Gly-Y. Using the available information, it has been possible to designate 25 triplets as P-predominant and 19 as N-predominant. An examination of P-predominant triplets for possible occurrence in β-bends having one of the conformations in the positive φ region shows that only 25% are of this nature. Thus, the P-preference of P-predominant triplets is not an outcome of the bend formation alone and must be an inherent property of these triplets.

Zum Einfluß von Operationszeitpunkt und Kliniksorganisation auf die postoperativen Komplikationen

Zusammenfassung Über ein Jahr wurden 1082 allgemeinchirurgische Planeingriffe prospektiv konsekutiv erfaßt und ihre Komplikationen mit einem Score bewertet. EinflußgröBen und die Komplikationsraten, die unter Umständen von der Kliniks-organisation abhängig sind, sollten analysiert werden. Es fand sich eine Beziehung zwischen Komplikationen und Wochentag, Operationsdauer sowie der Abweichung der tatsächlich benötigten von der geplanten Operationszeit. Mit höherer Auslastung der Operationssäle pro Arbeitstag stiegen die Komplikationsraten ebenfalls an.Keinen Einfluß auf die Komplikationsraten hatten Operationsbeginn und-monat sowie die monatliche Auslastung der Säle. Ob das Wetter einen Einfluß auf die Komplikationsraten nahm, konnte nicht entschieden werden: so fanden sich im Sommer- höhere Komplikationsraten als im Winterhalbjahr, jedoch war der Score von der Höhe der Außentemperatur und der Luftfeuchtigkeit unabhängig.

The influence of time of operation and hospital organization on postoperative complication rates

Summary During a 1-year period 1082 general surgical interventions were prospectively documented and their complication rates evaluated by a score system. Factors responsible for the complication rates and possibly depending on hospital organization should be analysed. The complication rates were influenced by the selection of the weekday, the length of operation time and the extent of discrepancy between planned and required operation time. Furthermore, the complication rates paralleled the extent of utilization of the operation theatre during a workday. The complication rates werenot affected by the beginning of operation and the operation month as well as the monthly utilization of the operation theatres. Whether the weather did influence the complication rates could not be decided: higher complication rates were found in the summer as compared to the winter period, but the complication score was independent of the level of the outside temperature and humidity.
