Does the Prepubertal Duration of Diabetes Influence the Onset of Microvascular Complications?

This study investigated the relationship between the development of diabetic retinopathy and pubertal status at onset of diabetes in 521 Type 1 diabetic patients diagnosed between 1950 and 1985. Pubertal status was based on age at onset (girls ≧ 11 years and boys ≧ 12 years). Retinopathy (all forms) developed in 112 patients (21.5%; 65 background and 47 proliferative retinopathy). For subjects diagnosed in either the prepubertal or postpuberal period, a similar proportion survived without developing retinopathy for any given duration of diabetes (X² = 0.3822, p = 0.54). However, if only the postpubertal duration of diabetes is considered, then the proportion of patients surviving without retinopathy was significantly less for those diagnosed in the prepubertal period (X² = 14.2, p = 0.002). This study suggests that the prepubertal duration of diabetes is an important phase and that the years prior to puberty do contribute to the risk of developing microvascular injury.     

Influences of context on early writing development

Research on children's early writing development in the past has focused primarily on product and process. In reviewing the more recent research on early writing development, however, a new focus of context emerges. Occurrences of literacy are now being observed in the home, the school, and the community. With this new emphasis, comes the task of defining context. A definition of context reflects theoretical perspectives, areas of research interests, and types of methodologies employed in conducting research. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to address the following aspects of context: #op1#cp multidiscipline perspectives and definitions of context, #op2#cp contextual shifts observed between the home and the school, #op3#cp contextual factors present when learning how to write, and #op4#cp pedagogical implications for curriculum development.     

Ex Vivo Evaluation in Normal Dogs of Insulin Released by a Bioartificial Pancreas Containing Isolated Rat Islets of Langerhans

In bioartificial pancreatic systems, isolated islets of Langerhans are protected against immune rejection by an artificial membrane, permeable to glucose and insulin, but not to immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Some of these devices, referred to as vascular systems, are set up to be connected to a vascular site in the recipient, with blood circulating in contact with one side of the membrane, and the islets on the other side. Such a bioartificial pancreas, containing isolated rat islets of Langerhans, was connected to an arteriovenous shunt of a normal anesthetized dog. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the kinetics of the insulin secretory response of the system to a glucose load. Glucose was infused upstream of the system, increasing the glucose concentration inside the bioartificial pancreas from 7 to 14 mmol/l, without altering the blood glucose concentration of the dog. Insulin concentration was determined simultaneously upstream and downstream of the bioartificial pancreas. Insulin production was calculated by multiplying the difference between these values by the blood flow rate. Blood flow rate (Q) was estimated from the change in the glucose concentration produced by the glucose infusion using a mass transfer analysis derived from Fick's principle. Insulin production increased from 20 +/- 8 to 59 +/- 15 microU/100 islets/min within 15 min following the beginning of the stimulation (n = 6, p less than 0.05). Five min after the end of the stimulation, insulin production decreased from 75 +/- 13 to 50 +/- 9 microU/100 islets/min (p less than 0.05) to reach the basal level (21 +/- 3 microU/100 islets/min) 30 min after the end of the glucose stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

真皮下血管网岛状皮瓣抗菌力的实验研究

为研究真皮下血管网薄皮瓣用于感染创面的可行性，在家猪臀部两侧分别形成以旋髂深血管主干分支为蒂的传统岛状皮瓣和远侧５０％修薄的真皮下血管网岛状皮瓣。用细菌计数、吖啶橙荧光染色测定白细胞吞噬指数和白细胞内杀菌率，应用激光多普勒、墨汁灌注、透明标本等方法，对两种皮瓣的抗菌力作自身对照研究。结果表明，真皮下血管网岛状皮瓣的抗菌力明显降低，可能与皮瓣修薄后血供减少，白细胞功能相应降低有关。     

张力带固定与钢丝环扎治疗髌骨骨折疗效分析

使用张力带固定、钢丝环扎与丝线环扎治疗髌骨骨折共６５例，平均优良率９１．５２％，但优级疗效者张力带组是８０％，钢丝及丝线环扎组分别是５６％及５６．５％。张力带内固定术后不需石膏外固定，利于膝关节早期功能锻炼与康复，疗效明显优于其它两种疗效（ｐ＜０．０５），但术中操作要求准确细致。与钢丝环扎相比，丝线环扎荷包缝合具有可避免取出内固定的第二次手术的优点，两组疗效相似。
