肥胖对儿童骨骼发育的影响

对89名单纯性肥胖儿童做了手腕部骨龄发育的病例对照研究。结果表明:(1)肥胖儿童骨龄提前(平均男孩提前1.02岁,女孩提前0.74岁,P<0.001)。(2)肥胖儿童骨骼发育速度比正常儿童快(平均男孩快0.117y/a,女孩快0.09y/a,P<0.001)。(3)男孩肥胖度与骨龄增值之间以及骨龄与身高之间均存在有同向变化关系。     

Cases of buprenorphine abuse in India.

Buprenorphine was introduced as a potent analgesic with low abuse potential. Reports of buprenorphine abuse by opiate abusers have accumulated over the years, highlighting its use as a cheap alternative to heroin. The lower potency compared with heroin is being compensated by using a cocktail of buprenorphine with benzodiazepines or cyclizine. This study of 18 cases seen over 3 years broadly confirms these findings. Four cases reported haematemesis during acute withdrawal, a symptom not reported in earlier studies.     

Advances in Statistical Methods for Substance Abuse Prevention Research

The paper describes advances in statistical methods for prevention research with a particular focus on substance abuse prevention. Standard analysis methods are extended to the typical research designs and characteristics of the data collected in prevention research. Prevention research often includes longitudinal measurement, clustering of data in units such as schools or clinics, missing data, and categorical as well as continuous outcome variables. Statistical methods to handle these features of prevention data are outlined. Developments in mediation, moderation, and implementation analysis allow for the extraction of more detailed information from a prevention study. Advancements in the interpretation of prevention research results include more widespread calculation of effect size and statistical power, the use of confidence intervals as well as hypothesis testing, detailed causal analysis of research findings, and meta-analysis. The increased availability of statistical software has contributed greatly to the use of new methods in prevention research. It is likely that the Internet will continue to stimulate the development and application of new methods.

Antisocial personality disorder, HIV risk behavior and retention in methadone maintenance therapy

In a sample of 55 consecutive methadone maintenance admissions to our clinic, 42% were diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) using the National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule NIMH DIS. Individuals with ASPD exhibited greater risk for HIV infection as defined by more sexual contacts, needle use and equipment sharing. Data at 1 year follow-up were obtained on this group of patients. The objective was to compare the ASPD and non-ASPD groups with regards to demographics, drug abuse history, outcome and retention in treatment. There were no significant differences between the groups on any demographic or treatment outcome variables. Survival analysis indicated that there were no group differences in treatment retention. In conclusion, although there were no differences in treatment outcome between ASPD and non-ASPD groups it is possible that ASPD patients who drop out of treatment will be at higher risk for contracting and spreading HIV within the IV drug using population. These data also suggest that in this population the diagnosis of ASPD using primarily behavioral traits as measured in the NIMH-DIS-III, has little utility in predicting treatment outcome.     

Characteristics of children and their families at entry into foster care

This study provides an overview of children, their families, and their circumstances at the time that the child entered foster care in Israel. Data regarding a representative sample of 800 children were collected as part of the ongoing operation of a clinical information system set up for Israel's foster care service in 1988. Implications of our findings for interventions are discussed.     

Motives of Childhood Firesetters: Firesetting Characteristics and Psychological Correlates

The present study evaluated curiosity and anger as motives among childhood firesetters. Parents of 133 firesetters (ages 6-13) completed the Fire Incident Analysis (FIA) to permit classification of the children as high and low on each of these two primary motives and to document details of the child's most serious incident within the past 12 months. The children were compared on measures of child dysfunction and firesetting history. An effect of Curiosity was found on measures of psychopathology, firesetting risk, and fire involvement, whereas an effect of Anger was found on measures of firesetting risk and the behavioral correlates of individual incidents. The results clarify the role of child motive in understanding firesetting involvement.     

隐睾患儿血清FSH、LH、T水平及其临床意义

目的研究隐睾患儿血中促卵泡激素(FSH)、促黄体激素(LID和睾酮(T)激素水平变化,探讨其临床意义及在隐睾症发病中的作用。方法应用化学发光免疫技术检测42例隐睾症和23例斜疝(对照组)患儿血清FSH、LH、T水平。结果单侧隐睾症组和斜疝组之间血清FSH、LH和T水平无显著性差异(P＞0．05)；(2)双侧隐睾组血清FSH水平高于斜疝组,差别有统计学意义(P＜0．05)；单侧隐睾症组血清FSH高于斜疝组,低于双侧隐睾症组,差别无统计学意义(P＞0．05)。结论(1)血清中性激素LH和T水平的变化在隐睾发生中并不起主要作用；(2)血清FSH水平的升高可能反映睾丸功能损害严重程度。     

少年儿童颞下颌关节紊乱综合征的错雅(牙合)特征

①目的 探讨少年儿童颢下颌关节紊乱综合征(TMJD)的错拾特征。②方法 用一般口腔检查工具对青岛地区的550例TMJD病人进行拾检查。③结果 80．0％的病人有不同程度的错He，其中个别牙齿错位所占的百分率最高(42．4％)，其次为高度不调、长度不调和宽度不调；不同牙龄期病人错He特征不同。④结论 本研究结果可以作为TMJD早期正畸治疗以及治疗时对错He分析和诊断的参考。     

女性服刑人员精神创伤的特征

目的调查女性服刑人员精神创伤的特征。方法在湖南新路职业学校中,采用多级随机整群抽样的原则抽取471个女性服刑人员,分青少年组（年龄≤25岁）和成年组（〉25岁）。运用创伤性生活事件问卷（TLEQ）和访谈相结合的技术评估她们的精神创伤经历。结果（1）90.4%的女性服刑人员至少经历1件创伤性事件,63.7%至少经历3件或以上的多重创伤。青少年组的事件数量多于成年组（平均为4和3件,P〈0.01）。暴力和毒品相关犯罪组的事件数量相当（平均4件）,都多于经济犯罪组（2件）;中学或相当教育程度者的事件数量最多（4件）,大专或以上者最少（2件）;未婚、离婚/丧偶2组经历的事件数量最多（4件）,已婚组最少（2件）,均差异有显著性（P〈0.05）。（2）最多见的创伤类型是机动车祸（46.9%）、目睹家庭暴力（46.1%）和被抢劫（38.9%）。16.7%的女犯在18岁以前遭遇过性虐待。与成年组相比,青少年组经历了更多的创伤类型为被抢劫、目睹被惨打、目睹家庭暴力,以及儿童期性虐待。结论我国文化背景下,女性服刑人员的精神创伤经历相当普遍,是精神创伤的潜在受害者。
