服用左炔诺孕酮滴丸和妈富隆1年对血压、血糖和血脂的影响

目的：观察第二、三代口服避孕药(COC)对育龄妇女体重指数、血压、血糖和血脂的影响。方法：将自愿服用COC避孕1年的妇女105例随机分为两组，其中54例给予第二代COC(EE／LNG组)，51例给予第三代COC(EE／DG组)。并对研究前后所有病例的体重指数(BMI)、血压、血糖和血脂代谢指标进行比较分析。结果：EE／LNG组：BMI、收缩压、舒张压、甘油三酯(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)和载脂蛋白B(ApoB)水平均升高，高密度脂蛋白(HDL)水平下降，血糖、载脂蛋白AI(ApoAI)水平无明显改变。EE／DG组收缩压、TG、HDL水平升高，BMI、舒张压、血糖、TC、LDL、ApoAI和ApoB均未发生显著变化。以上所有测量指标均未超出正常范围。结论：使用1年第二、三代COC对妇女BMI、血压和血脂代谢都有微弱的影响，对空腹血糖无明显影响。第三代COC对妇女BMI、收缩压、舒张压、TG、TC、LDL、HDL水平和ApoB的不利影响小于第二代，更加安全可靠。     

Plasma concentrations and bioavailability of propranolol by oral, rectal, and intravenous administration in man

Eight normal male volunteers received 80 mg doses of propranolol by the oral and rectal routes and 2.2 mg by intravenous administration in a crossover fashion. Plasma concentrations of propranolol were measured by a gas chromatographic method using an electron capture detector. Individual subject concentration-time data were analysed and results indicated that the data fit a two compartment model with first order absorption. An approximately two-fold higher plasma propranolol concentration was observed after rectal administration as compared with oral dosing. Statistical analysis of the difference in the total AUCs indicates a significantly higher bioavailability of propranolol administered by the rectal route. The reduced bioavailability after oral administration indicates a substantial first pass effect but that it is possible to bypass the liver, at least partially, by giving the drug rectally to man.     

Health lifestyles and self-direction in employment among American men: A test of the spillover effect

This paper examines whether American males with a high degree of control over their work situation pursue healthy lifestyles and rate their physical health more positively than those who score low on occupational self-direction. That is, are persons who control their work more likely to also try to control their health through living in a particularly healthy manner? We found that there was no support for a spillover effect from high occupational self-direction to enhanced participation in health lifestyles or more positive self-rated health. The findings suggest health lifestyles have spread throughout occupational work groups in the U.S. and support research that maintains such lifestyles have spread across social strata in America.     

高压氧结合针灸治疗脑外伤患者的效果观察与分析

目的:观察高压氧结合针灸治疗脑外伤患者的疗效。方法:对96例脑外伤患者采用高压氧、针灸配合药物进行综合治疗。同时,对83例对照组患者根据病情给予降颅压、抗感染、改善脑供血、保护脑细胞等治疗,有手术指征者行清除血肿、减压和清创术。结果:出院时两组患者功能比较,治疗组明显优于对照组,有显著性差异(P<0.O1),疗效治疗组也明显好于对照组。结论:高压氧结合针灸治疗能够明显提高脑损伤患者疗效,对肢体功能有明显提高。     

青滕碱对豚鼠心肌动作电位和收缩力的影响

青藤碱2.7μmol/L以上,呈浓度依赖性地降低豚鼠乳头肌收缩力,延长动作电位时程和有效不应期。小剂量时,青藤碱能降低动作电位0相上升最大速率;较大剂量时,动作电位幅度也降低。用TTX处理豚鼠乳头肌所致的慢反应电位,青藤碱能够抑制。此外,青藤碱能对抗乙酰胆碱缩短豚鼠左房肌动作电位时程的作用。结果提示:青藤碱对Na⁺,Ca²⁺和K⁺的跨膜转运均有抑制作用。     

善宁治疗顽固性大咯血疗效观察

目的 评价善宁对顽固性大咯血的疗效。方法 将55例传统药物抢救无效或有禁忌的大咯血分为治疗组（善宁）与对照组（立止血组），观察24—72h的止血效果。结果 治疗组总有效率为92％，对照组为70％，两组比较有显著差异p〈0．05（x^2=4．125）。结论 善宁治疗大咯血疗效显著，使用安全，不良反应少，值得临床推广应用。     

Effects of haloperidol on the multitrial partial reinforcement extinction effect (PREE): evidence for neuroleptic drug action on nonreinforcement but not on reinforcement

Two experiments investigated the effects of haloperidol (0.1 mg/kg) on the partial reinforcement extinction effect (PREE). In experiment 1 two groups of rats were trained to run in a straight alley using six trials/day with an intertrial interval (ITI) of 5–8 min. The continuously reinforced (CRF) group received food reward on every trial. The partially reinforced (PRF) group was rewarded on a quasi-random 50% schedule. All animals were then tested in extinction. Haloperidol was administered in a 2 × 2 design, i.e., drug-no drug in acquisition and drug-no drug in extinction. In experiment 2 two groups of rats were trained to press a lever in an operant chamber using a discrete trial procedure of ten trials/day with an ITI of 60 s. The CRF group was rewarded on each trial and the PRF group was rewarded on a quasi-random 50% schedule. Haloperidol was administered for 22 days prior to the start of the PREE procedure as well as throughout acquisition and extinction. The PREE, i.e., increased resistance to extinction of PRF as compared to CRF animals, was obtained in both experiments in all drug conditions. In both experiments haloperidol increased the rate of extinction. Experiment 1 revealed that this effect was entirely dur to the administration of the drug in extinction, independently of the drug condition in acquisition. In contrast to previous results in a one trial/day procedure, the administration of haloperidol to CRF animals did not increase resistance to extinction, failing to support the notion that neuroleptics attenuate the rewarding properties of reinforcement.     

MRI in subacute combined degeneration

We describe a patient with clear lesions in the spinal cord on MRI due to subacute combined degeneration. T2-weighted images clearly showed abnormal high signals in the posterior columns, which disappeared on recovery from the disease.     

Gadolinium ring enhancement and mass effect in acute disseminated encephalomyelitis

A 9-year-old boy presented with a subacute history of optic neuritis followed by brainstem involvement, with fever and a lymphocytic pleocytosis in the cerebrospinal fluid. Gadolinium-enhancing ring lesions were demonstrate in the white matter of the cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum on day 17 of the illness, all appearing simultaneously as part of a monophasic illness. A parietal lesion exerted mass effect. Needling and biopsy yielded no evidence of a pyogenic lesion, tumour or tuberculosis and showed vasculitis. There was insufficient material for myelin staining. Dexamethasone therapy lead to rapid improvement of the radiological lesions: MRI and CT on day 34 of the illness showed complete clearing of the lesions except for residual abnormality at the biopsy site.
