Development and Evaluation of an Interactive CD-ROM Refusal Skills Program to Prevent Youth Substance Use: “Refuse to Use”

An interactive CD-ROM program designed to reduce adolescent substance use was developed and evaluated. The program uses video vignettes to teach refusal skills and socially acceptable responses to substance use situations, specifically offers of marijuana. In a randomized pretest-to-posttest experiment with 74 public school students from six classes in three high schools, significant changes were observed at posttest on (1) the adolescent's personal efficacy to refuse the offer of marijuana, (2) the adolescent's intention to refuse marijuana if offered, and (3) the adolescent's perceptions of the social norms associated with substance use and the importance of respecting another's decision to refuse a drug offer. In addition, adolescents in the treatment condition were able to recall approximately 50% of the portrayed refusal strategies. Findings are discussed with regard to the potential benefits of an interactive multimedia approach for conducting substance use interventions.

Pharmacokinetic studies of high-dose metoclopramide with and without forced diuresis

Summary The pharmacokinetics of high-dose metoclopramide (10 mg/kg body wt. in five infusions of 2 mg/kg body wt. each) was studied in 11 patients (5 females, 6 males) in two groups: group A with and group B (consisting of five patients) without forced diuresis. When the drug was infused, forced diuresis had no influence on the pharmacokinetics of metoclopramide (serum level after the 1st infusion was 851±361 ng/ml in group A versus 840±348 ng/ml in group B; after the 5th infusion it was 2,005±588 ng/ml in group A versus 2,463±1,350 ng/ml in group B). There were significant differences in the 24-h serum levels (582±308 ng/ml in group A versus 379±170 ng/ml in group B;P<0.05) and in the elimination half life (8.5±2.6 h in group A versus 6.1±1.1 h in group B;P<0.05). The results demonstrate that the dosage regimen originally suggested by Gralla for cytostatic drugs, with forced diuresis for high-dose metoclopramide therapy, may also be applied, with no dosage reduction, with to other cytostatic drugs which do not require forced diuresis.     

急进高原人群脑血流量测定对急性高原病易感人群预测的临床与实验观察

本文对三级急进高原人群资料回顾分析了急进高海拔区（＞4500M）人群脑皿流量测定的临床意义。结果表明急进高原人群脑血流量较在低海拔区明显增高，有显著性差异；而急进高原人群中的急性高原反应和急性高原病患者脑血流量又显著高于高原适应人群。采用药物和吸氧治疗急进高原人群中急性高原反应人群，脑血流量明显降低，急进高原人群的高原反应程度和急性高原病的发病率亦相应降低。因此监测急进高原人群的脑血流量，不仅可以早期发现急性高原反应及急性高原病患者，更可以预测急性高原易感者，可为急性高原病的早期治疗和预防，扩大高原适应人群提供重要的理论依据。     

Role of O2-sensitive K and Ca channels in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation: Potential role of caveolae and implications for high altitude pulmonary edema

High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a potentially fatal complication in response to exposure to low O₂ at high altitudes. Hypoxia, by causing pulmonary vasoconstriction, increases pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure, both of which are features in the pathogenesis of HAPE. Uneven hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is thought to be responsible for increased capillary pressure and leakage, resulting in edema. O₂-sensitive ion channels are known to play pivotal roles in determining vascular tone in response to hypoxia. K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Na⁺ channels are ubiquitously expressed in both endothelial and smooth muscle cells of the pulmonary microvasculature, subfamilies of which are regulated by local changes in P_O2. Hypoxia reduces activity of voltage-gated K⁺ channels and down-regulates their expression leading to membrane depolarization, Ca²⁺ influx in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (by activating voltage-dependent Ca²⁺ channels) and vasoconstriction. Hypoxia up-regulates transient receptor potential channels (TRPC) leading to enhanced Ca²⁺ entry through receptor- and store-operated Ca²⁺ channels. Altered enrichment of ion channels in membrane microdomains, in particular in caveolae, may play a role in excitation–contraction coupling and perhaps in O₂-sensing in the pulmonary circulation and thereby may contribute to the development of HAPE. We review the role of ion channels, in particular those outlined above, in response to low O₂ on vascular tone and pulmonary edema. Advances in the understanding of ion channels involved in the physiological response to hypoxia should lead to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of HAPE and perhaps in the identification of new therapies.

Unusual reactions following insect stings. Clinical features and immunologic analysis.

Fifteen patients were studied who had unusual reactions following insect stings. These included serum sickness, neurologic disease, renal disease, and delayed hypersensitivity-type reactions. The clinical features are briefly outlined. Measurements were made of serum venom-specific IgE and IgG antibodies. These antibodies were present in some patients and in these instances suggested an immunologic pathogenesis for the reactions. Alternative etiologies for the unusual reactions are also discussed.     

High endothelial-like venules in chronically inflamed periodontal tissues exchange polymorphs

A survey of 58 gingival biopsies revealed the presence of periodontal high endothelial-like venules (PHELVs) in chronically inflamed gingival tissues. PHELVs were found to exchange polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) almost exclusively in advanced periodontitis, with PMNs greatly exceeding the number of mononuclear cells found in PHELVs (P less than 0.001). Electron microscopy confirmed the emigration of PMNs from these vessels. The enzyme histochemical and ultrastructural features as well as the 35SO4 uptake properties of PHELVs were similar to those of the well-characterized high endothelial venules (HEVs) of rat lymph nodes. It is generally accepted that HEVs in lymphoid tissues and inflammatory sites are specially adapted to assist in the emigration of lymphocytes. However, the observation of preferential PMN emigration in the apparent absence of lymphocyte exchange from PHELVs compels further investigation of other possible functions for HEVs. In relation to this, endothelial cells are capable of producing potent cytokines and inflammatory mediators which may contribute to the development of lesions, and the possibility is discussed that high endothelial cells are functionally adapted to enhance the production of such factors.
