抑郁发作自杀未遂患者脑源性神经营养因子水平及其相关因素研究

Objective To investigate the possible role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in the pathophysiology of attempted suicide in depressive episode patients.Methods The subjects were 23 depressive episode patients who had recently attempted suicide.24 depressive episode patients without suicide attempt.and 30 sex-age-and education matched healthy controls.The Hamihon Depression Rating Scale-24 items(HAMD24),Beck Helpless Rating Scale(BHS)and Self-rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS)was used to evaluate the severitv of symptoms.The seruln level of BDNF was detected with sandwich ELISA.Pearson correlation coefficients wag used to measure the correlations between serum BDNF and the related illness variables.Results There were significant difierences in the serum level of BDNF between patients with attempted suicide,pailents without suicide attempt and normal controls(F=21.927,P＜0.05).Post hoc analysis showed the serum BDNF levels in patients with attempted suicide [(57 ±16)ng/L]were lower than that in patients without[(75±28)ns/L;P＜0.05],and were lower in patients without suicide attempt[(75 ±28)ng/L]than that in normal controls[(111 ±39)ng/L;P＜0.01].In patients with attempted suicide,the serum BDNF was negatively correlated to the duration of depressive episode(r=-0.541,P=0.008),the mean BHS score(r=-0.494,P=0.017)and the mean SIOSSscore(r=-0.754.P=0.000).Conclusion The results suggest that the decreased serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor is related to the pathophysiology of attempted suicide in depressive episode patients.     

Comparing hand-held computers and paper diaries for haemophilia home therapy: a randomized trial

Treatment of severe haemophilia with factor concentrates is by self-infusion in the home. Adherence to record keeping on paper diaries is poor. A randomized-controlled trial compared adherence with record keeping of paper diaries with hand-held computers. Forty-one individuals with severe haemophilia, were randomized to hand-held computers (n = 22) or paper diaries (n = 19) and followed for 6 months. About 86.2% (679 of 788) of infusions by patients in the computer group were in compliance with the data submission schedule compared with only 48.3% (358 of 741) of infusions by patients using paper diaries (P < 0.0001). The time intervals between infusions and the receipt of data were shorter in the computer group (median 0.25 vs. 25 days respectively, P < 0.0001). Reminder phone calls by the clinic were made less frequently to users of hand-held computers than to users of paper diaries (median one vs. five times, P < 0.0001). Accuracy of data was similar for both methods. Compliance with hand-held computers was superior to paper diaries. The clinic received data from hand-held computers mostly on the same day, and nurses could thereby provide clinical advice more effectively. Although hand-held computers did not result in increased accuracy, errors could be detected and corrected more rapidly. Electronic data can more easily be verified, analysed and summarized than that from paper diaries.     

妊高征患者胰岛素样生长因子水平及对胎儿生长发育的影响

目的：探讨妊娠高血压综合征(妊高征)患者血清胰岛素样生长因子(IGF-1)和胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白-3(IGFBP-3)水平与疾病程度及新生儿出生体重之间的关系。方法：用放射免疫方法测定33例妊高征和32例正常血压妊娠妇女的血清IGF-1、IGFBP-3的水平。结果：重度妊高征组IGF-1显著低于正常组，IGFBP-3在各组间的水平浓度差异均无显著性，但IGF-1与IGFBP-3之间呈正相关。新生儿出生体重随妊高征严重程度的加剧而降低，各组间比较差异有显著性(F=5．453，P=0．002)。结论：妊高征患者的发病及严重程度与IGF-1有明显的关系，IGF-1与胎儿的发育及新生儿出生体重有明显的相关性。     

Naturally occuring antibodies against nerve growth factor in human and rabbit sera: comparison between control and herpes simplex virus-infected patients

Antibodies against nerve growth factor (NGF) in sera were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), by their isolation after passage of sera through NGF immunoadsorbent columns and by their specificity to bind and immunoprecipitate mouse NGF as well as to stain by immunohistochemical methods cellular sites of NGF synthesis. Increased levels of anti-NGF antibodies were found in sera of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected patients but not in HSV-inoculated rabbits. As HSV latency is known to be promoted by NGF in vitro, these results may suggest that anti-NGF antibodies modulate the cytokine function of NGF and thus might play a role in HSV infection. The biological function of circulating antibodies against NGF, in general, is now open to future investigation.     

Cholesterol-based personal risk assessment in coronary heart disease

Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) 1976-1980, we demonstrate how cross-sectional total serum cholesterol surveillance data can be used by an individual to assess current and future personal cholesterol risk status. We propose statistical models, based on a person's current measured cholesterol level and the relationship between cross-sectional age and cholesterol percentile estimates, that will allow prediction of future cholesterol levels or the age at which specified cholesterol risk levels will be reached if no cholesterol-altering intervention is taken. These models incorporate the observed variation in the NHANES II data and expected intraperson biological variation and intralaboratory analytical variation. We illustrate the adequacy of the models using data from the longitudinal Framingham Study.

牙根发育不良疾病的研究进展

牙根发育不良疾病是牙齿根部生理性发育出现障碍的疾病。其发病率为1%~10%,乳、恒牙列均可发生,其结果可导致牙根缺如或短根,严重者可造成牙齿过早脱落。国外学者将该疾病统称为短根异常疾病。其发病因素有遗传性疾病、全身性疾病、外源性因素和医源性因素等。
