Occupational exposure of deck crews to carcinogenic agents on crude oil tankers

Occupational exposure to carcinogenic agents on the decks on six Norwegian crude oil tankers was examined in five harbors. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the need for improving the working environment on deck on these tankers. Technical arrangments and the work itself on the deck were observed during loading or unloading. Occupational monitoring was performed by active sampling of benzene, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and some aldehydes. The crew answered a questionnaire concerning their work, use of protective equipment, and occurrence of acute symptoms. The levels of air-borne carcinogenic agents were low, probably due to closed loading systems on all tankers. However, the seamen reported discomfort during the work that may be related to other chemical agents in the cargo. The seamen were frequently painting with lead chromate paint without using personal protective equipment. This type of chemical exposure should be evaluated.

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.     

方格星虫多糖分离纯化及性质鉴定

以方格星虫（Sipunculus nudus）体壁和血液为试验材料，经胰蛋白酶水解，Sevage法去除蛋白质，乙醇沉淀得到粗多糖，透析并冷冻干燥后分别得到方格星虫体壁多糖（SWP）和血液多糖（SBP）。经凝胶渗透色谱分析，SWP和SBP均为单一组分，相对分子质量分别为284528和198212。红外光谱分析表明，两种多耱结构相似，不含硫酸基团，均含有葡萄耱、半乳糖、木糖和阿拉伯糖。SBP含有乙酰氨基，而SWP不含乙酰氨基，它们是以α-糖苷键或β-糖苷键连接的呋喃多糖。

改进时间差攻击疗法治疗多重耐药阴沟肠杆菌的探究

[目的]研究利用改进的时间攻击疗法治疗多重耐药阴沟肠杆菌引起的感染的效果，并考究其与亚胺培南/西拉司丁治疗及传统时间攻击疗法的药物经济学成本/效果比。[方法]将38例明确诊断为产ESBLs阴沟肠杆菌感染且药敏结果皆为：对哌拉西林、环丙沙星、氧氟沙星、左旋氧氟沙星、庆大霉素、妥布霉素、头孢他啶、头孢噻肟、头孢哌酮、头孢曲松、头孢哌酮/舒巴坦、替卡西林/克拉维酸等皆耐药，而对亚胺培南/西拉司丁敏感的患者随机分为改进组、对照组、传统组。改进组患者先与磷霉素4g＋5%葡萄糖100ml于30min静脉滴注完毕后，再过30min立即给予阿米卡星0.4g＋0.9%NS250ml静脉滴注，上述治疗每日1次。对照组患者给予亚胺培南/西拉司丁1g＋0.9%NS250ml静脉滴注，每日3次。传统组患者先与磷霉素2g＋5%葡萄糖50ml静脉给予1h完毕后，立即给予阿米卡星0.2g＋0.9%NS100ml静脉滴注，上述治疗每日2次。疗程最长限为10d，其余检查治疗3组相同。考察3组的细菌清除率以及细菌清除所需的药物费用、不良反应的比较。[结果]改进组细菌清除率与对照组、传统组差异无统计学意义，并且改进组、传统组无不良反应，对照组有1例二重感染；而且改进组与对照组、传统组的细菌清除药物治疗费用差异有统计学意义。[结论]利用磷霉素＋阿米卡星的改进时间攻击差疗法能很好的治疗多重耐药的阴沟肠杆菌引起的感染，并且与采用亚胺培南/西拉司丁治疗方案及传统的时间攻击疗法相比具有较好的成本/效果比。     

A comparison of the effects of a macrobiotic diet and a western diet on drug metabolism and plasma lipids in man

Summary We have compared the effects of two dietary regimens with different macronutrient compositions — a macrobiotic diet and a Western diet — on drug metabolism and plasma lipids in seven healthy volunteers.The macrobiotic diet, high in carbohydrate, low in protein and fat, and devoid of animal food sources, was eaten for a ten day control period, as was the Western diet, high in calories, fat, and protein, as well as animal food sources. We determined the influences of these diets on the clearance of orally administered antipyrine, oxazepam, and methadone, as well as on plasma lipids.There was a statistically significant change in antipyrine clearance as well as in plasma LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol after the dietary periods. This suggests that the influence of dietary changes may have some effect on the clearance of therapeutic drugs. However, this is not universal and is probably important when the drug is highly dependent on the mixed-function oxidase system.
