艾滋病儿童神经认知障碍相关因素研究进展

目的 总结艾滋病儿童神经认知障碍影响因素。方法 在PubMed、Web of Science、CNKI、万方和维普数据库，以“艾滋病”、“儿童”、“神经认知障碍”、“脑病”、“影响因素”为主题词或关键词，同时辅以手工检索和文献追溯检索近年相关文献。着重整理影响艾滋病儿童神经认知障碍的因素。对资料进行汇总并撰写综述。结果 检索并阅读相关文献100余篇。艾滋病病毒相关因素（HIV损害中枢神经系统、HIV逃逸及病毒储存库、HIV亚型）、宿主因素（启动抗病毒治疗时机、遗传因素、营养状况及合并其他疾病）、抗病毒治疗药物、社会心理因素等均可影响艾滋病感染儿童神经认知。结论 为了尽可能避免或降低艾滋病儿童神经认知障碍，应当尽早诊断、尽早给予高效的抗逆转录病毒治疗；随访中应重视神经认知发育的观察和筛查，及早识别神经认知障碍，积极寻找多方面的原因并进行有效干预。     

The Health Belief Model in predicting healthcare workers' intention for influenza vaccine uptake in Jordan

BackgroundTheories of health behavior change are being inadequately adopted to understand the reasons behind low influenza vaccination rates among healthcare workers (HCWs). The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is being used to predict intention-behavior relationship while the Health Belief Model (HBM) is being employed to predict actual behavior. The purpose of this study was to test a conceptual model based on the HBM’s constructs to predict Jordanian HCWs’ intentions for influenza vaccine uptake as an alternative to the TPB.MethodA cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted in 2016 in a tertiary teaching hospital in Amman-Jordan including a convenience sample of 477 HCWs with direct patient contact. The study instrument was tested for validity and reliability. A conceptual regression model was proposed incorporating the constructs of the primary HBM with some modifications in the threat construct as well as an additional variable about explicit past vaccination behavior (in the past year and/or any previous history of influenza vaccine uptake).ResultsAlmost all the constructs of the HBM demonstrated significant differences between participants intending and those who did not intend to vaccinate against influenza. After adjusting for the confounding variables in the final conceptual regression model, past vaccination behavior (OR= 4.50, 95%Confidence Interval 3.38–6.00, P< 0.0005) and the perceived benefit scale (OR= 1.19, 95% Confidence Interval 1.11–1.28, P< 0.0005) were the only significant predictors of intentions to vaccinate against influenza in the next season.ConclusionTaking into consideration the altruistic beliefs of HCWs and their explicit past vaccination history augments the utility of the original HBM tool in predicting HCWs’ intentions to vaccinate against influenza in a way that is consistent with the predictive ability of the Theory of Planned Behavior.     

脑后部可逆性脑病综合征(PRES)的临床MR诊断

目的：探讨MR对PRES的临床诊断价值。方法应用3.0 T MR对30例PRES患者进行常规扫描，其中19例同时行MRA检查，13例行MRV检查。结果 PRES病变主要累及顶枕叶，双侧基本对称；病变主要位于脑白质内，也可累及其它部位。PRES病变的特点是呈长T 1长T 2信号，边缘不清，无明显占位效应。MRA及MRV均无异常发现。结论 MR对PRES可以作出准确诊断，对临床有重要的指导意义。     

A modality-specific somatosensory evoked potential test protocol for clinical evaluation: A feasibility study

ObjectiveWe aimed to establish an objective neurophysiological test protocol that can be used to assess the somatosensory nervous system.MethodsIn order to assess most fiber subtypes of the somatosensory nervous system, repetitive stimuli of seven different modalities (touch, vibration, pinprick, cold, contact heat, laser, and warmth) were synchronized with the electroencephalogram (EEG) and applied on the cheek and dorsum of the hand and dorsum of the foot in 21 healthy subjects and three polyneuropathy (PNP) patients. Latencies and amplitudes of the modalities were assessed and compared. Patients received quantitative sensory testing (QST) as reference.ResultsWe found reproducible evoked potentials recordings for touch, vibration, pinprick, contact-heat, and laser stimuli. The recording of warm-evoked potentials was challenging in young healthy subjects and not applicable in patients. Latencies were shortest within Aβ-fiber-mediated signals and longest within C-fibers. The test protocol detected function loss within the Aβ-fiber and Aδ-fiber-range in PNP patients. This function loss corresponded with QST findings.ConclusionIn this pilot study, we developed a neurophysiological test protocol that can specifically assess most of the somatosensory modalities. Despite technical challenges, initial patient data appear promising regarding a possible future clinical application.SignificanceEstablished and custom-made stimulators were combined to assess different fiber subtypes of the somatosensory nervous system using modality-specific evoked potentials.     

从中医角度探讨多囊卵巢综合征的发生与肺胃的相关性

对于“多囊卵巢综合征”中医病位的认识,学者们众说纷纭,主要涉及肺、肝、脾、肾、胃、冲任等。本文对其病位在“肺”“胃”这一观点提出质疑,并以多囊卵巢综合征现代文献资料为主要研究对象,确定多囊卵巢综合征的病变脏腑,提取多囊卵巢综合征的主要症状,总结多囊卵巢综合征的核心病机,从而探究多囊卵巢综合征的病位,讨论本病的发生与肺胃的相关性,加深对多囊卵巢综合征的中医认识。
