古代日耳曼和阿拉伯律法与唐律中法医学内容的比较

本文详细介绍了古代日耳曼和阿拉伯律法中与法医学有关的内容及其对法医学发生发展的影响。认为以赎罪金代替原始的血亲复仇法是日耳曼法的一个进步；两法对非致命损伤的赔偿规定都取得了令人瞩目的成就。本文还就大致同时代的唐律对杀人及伤害案件的有关规定，比较了东西方法规的异同，探讨了差别的原因。     

Cardiovascular Laser Application

With the invention of the laser, many clinical disciplines have taken advantage of this new energy source. Its precision, intensity and energy density is superior to all other known surgical devices. Based on the principle of light amplification from a photon-emitting resonator, the monochromaticity, collimation and coherence provide the high-energy density of the laser beam for medical applications. The state-of-the-art and future potential of laser use in cardiovascular diseases will be reviewed. Most of the work in this field has been accomplished during the past decade with numerous research projects. Although many technical advances have been made, so far the results in cardiovascular medicine are in the areas of vessel anastomosis, ablation of conduction passes for arrhythmia therapy, and angioplasty. In this paper, special attention will be given to the recent success in XeCl excimer laser application for photodecomposition of tissue with a goal of improved recanalization. The high-power density of the XeCl excimer laser provides significant advantages for the disruption of both embolic and calcified plaque. Regardless of the type of tissue ablated, gross, histologic, and ultra-structural analysis confirmed the absence of thermal injury in luminar recanalization as well as in animal studies. Progress in the manufacture of catheters, with multiple very small diameter fibers, led to the decisive breakthrough in clinical laser angioplasty. Peripheral as well as coronary arteries have been successfully recanalized followed by balloon dilatation. The ease of application and the success achieved thus far have resulted in an optimistic assessment for laser medicine.

Ontogeny of behavioral sensitization to cocaine

The ontogeny of the behavioral effects of acute cocaine administration and behavioral sensitization to cocaine in rat pups was investigated. Acute behavior stimulating effects of cocaine were observed in pups as young as 7 postnatal days (PND) old, although they needed a higher dose of cocaine than adult rats to evoke the same motor effects. An adult dose-response curve pattern of stereotypy and locomotion to acute cocaine treatment was observed at PND 21, and of rearing at PND 28. Rats aged PND 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56 received repeated injections of saline or cocaine (15 mg/kg) twice a day for 5 consecutive days. After a 3-week period of abstinence, sensitization to a challenge dose of cocaine was assessed. Cocaine-induced stereotyped behavior was enhanced significantly only in rats in which cocaine pretreatment was initiated on PND 21, 28, and 56, but not earlier on PND 7 and 14. Adult female rats given repeated cocaine injections on PND 56–60 showed significantly greater sensitization than males, but no such sex difference was observed in pups given cocaine repeatedly on PND 21–25 or 28–32. These results show clearly that cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization in rats occurred only when subchronic cocaine administration was commenced on PND 21 or later.     

Competition for sucrose-pellets in triads of male wistar rats: effects of acute and subchronic chloridazepoxide

Within triads of male Wistar rats, some animals almost completely abstain from competition for palatable sucrose pellets (so-called poor-performing rats), whereas other rats consistently win the competition (so-called high-performing rats). Subchronic (5 mg/kg; 5 consecutive days), but not acute (0.1–20 mg/kg), treatment with chlordiazepoxide temporarily helped poor-performing rats to behave more competitively. This finding, considered together with parallel studies (using high-performing rats), suggested that chloridazepoxide's beneficial effect was only demonstrable when the poor-performing rats had become tolerant to the drug's initial sedative effect.     

祖国传统医学对骨质疏松症的治疗进展

骨质疏松症是以骨量减少和骨组织的纤维结构退化为特征的代谢性骨病。随着21世纪我国老龄化社会的到来，骨质疏松发病率明显增高，已逐渐成为世界性广泛关注的问题。原发性骨质疏松分为I、Ⅱ两种类型。I型为高代谢型，主要是绝经后骨质疏松，由雌激素缺乏，而使骨代谢呈负平衡，骨吸收相对增强引起；Ⅱ型是低骨转换型，主要为老年性骨
