Analyse automatique du comportement exploratoire chez le rat: Actographie par utilisation d'un circuit fermé de télévision

A four channel detection system which is capable of monitoring animal movemements without any effect upon behavior is described. Locomotion and rearings in the rat have been recorded by means of a television system scanning the position of the animal relative to zero axes in the ground- and vertical planes. With a frequency of ten measures per second, the system is very sensitive and reliable. The variability over a 24 hr period is less than 0.1%.     

2005年营口市麻疹疫情分析

[目的]了解营口市麻疹流行情况,为麻疹控制提供科学依据。[方法]对营口市2005年麻疹发病情况进行分析。[结果]2005年报告麻疹905例,发病率为39.36/10万;6个市(区)均有发病,其中鲅鱼圈区发病433例,发病率为142.54/10万;4~6月合计发病810例,占全年总数的89.50%;学龄前儿童366例(占40.44%);3月龄至14岁631例(占69.7%);暴发疫情发病183例,占20.24%;调查667例,8月至19岁的465例,无麻疹疫苗免疫史或不详的388例,占83.44%;检测麻疹疑似病例早期血清麻疹IgM抗体阳性率为88.58%(163/184)。[结论]由于发生麻疹暴发疫情,导致2005年麻疹疫情大幅度上升。     

Hunt综合征的临床研究

[目的]探讨Hunt综合症的临床表现及疗效。[方法]收集我院自1994-2005年以来Hunt综合症21例的资料,并进行分析。[结果]21例患者疱疹于2周内消退,面瘫多于1-6个月内恢复,其他症状也相应消失或好转,经随访8-12个月均未出现神经痛后遗症状;治愈17例,有效3例,无效1例。[结论]本病需早期诊断,并在起病1周内及时采用高效抗病毒剂、大剂量激素和微波治疗;合理、系统、规范的治疗,是提高疗效、缩短病程、减少后遗症状的发生的关键。     

Behandlungsstrategien bei Azetabulumfrakturen

Fractures of the acetabulum are seldom joint injuries and their successful therapy encompasses a diagnostic-analytic as well as operative-therapeutic challenge. The careful differential indication is derived from a well-conceived, internationally established classification, and the individual distribution determines the subsequent sophisticated approach in the case of operation. The posterolateral approach according to Kocher-Langenbeck and the ilioinguinal approach according to Letournel enable specific and well-defined stabilization of the fracture. Typical complications with the first approach are periarticular ossifications and ischiatic lesions and with the second approach especially lesions of the cutaneous femoris lateralis nerve. The extended approaches aggravate the possibility of complications with their marked mobilization of soft tissue and are therefore restricted to special indications. Convalescence takes longer, and the long-term functional result as well as the extent of arthrosis reflect the variable interconnection of these complex traumatic and iatrogenic factors.     

Socio-economic aspects of stroke management

BACKGROUND: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the first leading cause of disability in developed and developing countries. It is one of the most demanding public health problems to be faced in the upcoming years, particularly because of population aging. STATE OF THE ART: New therapeutic advances in the management of acute stroke have changed our perception of this condition and have had a major impact on healthcare organization and subsequently healthcare expenditures. Care required for the stroke victim is costly in both developing countries and in developed countries. Hemmorhagic events are the most costly, but their prevalence in Western countries is lower than ischemic events. Prevalence of ischemic events is higher in Asian countries. The direct costs of stroke, both for primary and secondary events, constitute the larger part of healthcare expenditures. The mean cost of stroke in France is estimated at 18,000 euros for the first 12 months. Disability accounts for 42 percent of the variable cost of stroke. During the first year, the acute phase accounts for 40 percent of the cost, rehabilitation and mid-term hospitalization for 29 percent, and ambulatory care for 8 percent. After 46 months, the cost of ambulatory care exceeds the cost of the first six months of care during and following the acute phase. CONCLUSION: Any improvement in the primary or secondary prevention of stroke will lead to a decrease in the incidence and prevalence of stroke, and any therapeutic advance capable of reducing disability will consequently reduce the overall cost of stroke.     

Vergiftungen durch Clomethiazol

Zusammenfassung Clomethiazol kann Sucht erzeugen, Ursache eines Fehlverhaltens im Straßenverkehr sein und bei Überdosierungen zum Tode führen. In der Arbeit werden Befunde bei 18 Todesfällen mitgeteilt, bei denen Clomethiazol eine wesentliche Rolle gespielt hat. Vorgeschichte, leicht identifizierbare Tabletten im Mageninhalt und ein charakteristischer Geruch können Hinweise auf die Art der Vergiftung geben. Da Clomethiazol jedoch im allgemeinen Analysengang leicht übersehen werden kann, sollte stets bei unklaren Todesfällen eine gesonderte gaschromatographische Untersuchung des Blutes durchgeführt werden.     

Validation d’une version courte en langue française pour adolescents de la Compulsive Internet Use Scale

The Compulsive Internet Uses Scale (CIUS) is a tool designed to evaluate the severity of the Internet-related compulsive behavior. The aim of this article is to propose a French validation of a 9-items short version adapted for the adolescent population. The sample was composed of 269 adolescents with a mean age of 13.8 years. The results of the confirmatory analyses show that a unidimensional model (α = 0.85) is correctly adjusted with the data and is invariant among gender. The criterion validity is examined using two scores of depression and self-esteem. When the adolescents are classified in two categories – compulsive; non-compulsive – the firsts have higher scores of depression and weaker scores of self-esteem than the seconds. The CUIS-9 thus has good psychometric qualities and constitutes a potentially useful tool for researchers and the practitioners.
