Late Effects of Childhood Acute Leukemia and Its Treatment

Late effects of childhood acute leukemia and its treatment were studied in 766 patients (684 ALL, 73 ANLL, and 9 others) in Japan who had remained in remission for more than 1 year after their first complete remission. Delayed adverse sequelae involve a wide variety of organs and their functions. Short stature was present in 2.61%, obesity in 3.79%, abnormalities of growth hormone secretion in 1.5%, delayed secondary sex characteristics in 1.5% of males and 0.6% of females, motor disturbances in 1.17%, sensory disturbances in 0.91%, intellectual and learning disabilities in 2.48%, abnormal findings in routine neurologic examinations in 1.31%, EEG abnormalities in 4.30%, brain CT abnormalities in 5.09% and cardiac dysfunction in 1.07%. Various other disorders were seen in 20 patients. Many of these delayed adverse sequelae are caused by or related to central nervous system prophylaxis and systemic combination chemotherapy. The results suggest that it is needed to improve therapeutic methods through the stratification of patients by risk factors and detailed analysis of prognostic factors. Moreover it is important to render medical and psychosocial support to long-term survivors of childhood leukemia through interactions between the patient, parents and medical staff.     

An Electrically Modulated Drug Delivery Device. III. Factors Affecting Drug Stability During Electrophoresis

A number of factors affecting the stability of propranolol HC1 during electrophoretic control were investigated. It was found that significant degradation of propranolol HC1 and hydrolysis of water occurred when a current of 15 mA was used with platinized electrodes. This degradation was thought to be due to decomposition of propranolol HC1 at the electrodes. Degradation could be significantly reduced by using uncoated platinum electrodes and currents in the range of 0 to 2.5 mA, while still allowing control of drug delivery rates. Electrode reaction processes were found at high ionic strengths and high drug concentrations but were not thought to be associated with drug decomposition.     

1,1,1,2—四氟乙烷—1,1—二氟乙烷二元系恒温汽液相平衡

采用静态蒸汽总压法实验装置，在２９．９４℃、３９．９２℃和４９．９３℃下，测定了１，１，１，２－四氟乙烷－１，１－二氟乙烷二元系汽液相平衡时的物料，总量、系统组成、蒸汽总压和汽相体积。结合物料衡算和Ｔ、Ｐ、ｘ推算ｙ的曲面样条函数法，计算出对应的平衡汽液相组成。用改进的ＰＲ状态方程和一个与温度无关的可调相互作用参数关联了实验数据。     

Bilateral subclavian steal associated with severe coarctation of the thoracic aorta and an aberrant right subclavian artery

A 10-year-old girl having bilateral subclavian steal associated with severe coarctation of the thoracic aorta and an aberrant right subclavian artery was found, on admission, to have no difference between upper and lower extremity blood pressure, but echocardiography revealed severe thoracic aorta coarctation and systolic blood pressure in the carotid arteries exceeding 200 mmHg estimated by Doppler ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography demonstrated bilateral subclavian steal without esophageal compression. We reconstructed the aortic arch using the left subclavian artery and a reversed Blalock-Park procedure, then repaired the coarctation with a 14 mm woven double velor vascular graft. The girl was symptom-free following uncomplicated recovery from surgery. Doppler ultrasonography 2 weeks after surgery showed the pressure gradient across the aortic arch had decreased from 180 mmHg to 60 mmHg. This residual gradient at the anastomosis between the ascending aorta and left subclavian artery may improve as native vessels grow.

提高抗肝癌药物的肝脏浓度并降低心脏,血液浓度的实验研究

实验研究结果表明：阿霉素（ＡＤＭ）在采用推进法注射时，经肝血管或外周静脉途径二者的肝、心与血液浓度均无显著差别．如采用控速缓慢输注法，则经肝血管较经外周静脉在提高肝脏浓度方面具有显著效果，心脏内浓度也有一定程度降低。如在肝血管内输注时与血液净化联合应用，则更能提高上述要求。以上结果将为临床抗癌药介入治疗应用方法的开展提供依据和参考价值。     

三峡库区涪陵段1964至1993年肾综合征出血热的流行趋势

本文对三峡库区涪陵段1964～1993年肾综合征出血热（HFRS）的流行趋势作了某些分析，旨在兴建、开发三峡库区时为防治本病提供一定的依据。30年中发病乡（镇）的扩大与发现，以1964～1969年较为突出，占累计发病乡（镇）总数的27.59%，在嗣后的24年（1970～1993年）间仍以平均每年3.8个疫区的新发现渐进式扩大，可见三峡库区涪陵段HFRS疫区的发现与扩大仍未结束；发病率在80年代（6.58／10万）急剧上升，较60年代（3.53／10万）和70年代（2.51／10万）发病总数高1.83倍，90年代的发病率（1O.54／10万）较前26年上升57.49%；病例围绕高、中发疫区向心性集中，流行强度则离心性递减；在涪陵段的长江南岸、乌江北岸以集簇性暴发为主，长江北岸、乌江南岸为散在发病；呈5～7月（占27.03%）、10～12月（占45.79%）“双峰”型季节性发病高峰，1～4、8、9月份为非流行季节，其病例占总发病数的27.17%；每5～7年出现l次周期性发病高峰，高峰年的发病率与该地区整体发病率一致，似呈上升趋势；68.76％的病人集中在20～49岁人群，农民发病占83.35%，男女之比为2.5:1。疫区及疫源地以野鼠型为主，混合型次之，家鼠型也存在。     

Boundary Ambiguity in Parents With Chronically Ill Children: Integrating Theory and Research

Abstract: This article integrates theory and research related to boundary ambiguity in parents of children with a chronic health condition. We propose that boundary ambiguity is a risk factor for psychological distress in these parents. Clinical applications and a case example highlight how boundary ambiguity can be assessed and managed in clinical settings by professionals working with parents with chronically ill children. Questions are provided for assessing boundary ambiguity in clinical and research settings, and implications for research are discussed.
