中药泡洗治疗糖尿病足90例疗效分析

目的为了观察中药泡洗对糖尿病足的疗效。方法对90例糖尿病足患者用中药（方剂组成：桃仁、红花、桂枝、没药、乳香、花椒、川芎等各10g）水煎制后分为2袋各300ml配合足浴仪泡洗，2次，d，30min／次，10d为1疗程。结果全组90例患者显效66例，有效24例，总有效率100％。结论中药泡洗治疗糖尿病足疗效确切。     

高血压病人药物治疗期间动态血压变化

目的评价高血压病人药物治疗期间２４ｈ动态血压变化。方法２６例住院的高血压病人经药物治疗４周连续３ｄ随测血压，血压正常后进入本研究。治疗前后进行２４ｈ动态血压监测。结果患者随测血压（８～９ＡＭ，３～４ＰＭ）血压恢复到正常水平，但动态血压显示在一段时间内（６～８ＡＭ，６～１１ＰＭ）平均收缩和舒张压仍明显高于正常人平均水平（Ｐ＜０．０１），而该时间段易被临床医生忽视。结论随测血压不能实际全面反映高血压病人药物治疗的疗效，２４ｈ动态血压的监测可以正确评价高血压病人药物治疗的效果并根据高血压分布的时间来调整降压药的种类和剂量。     

蝮蛇抗栓酶-3治疗糖尿病并发症94例

应用腹蛇抗栓酶-3治疗94例糖尿病患者并发的脑血栓形成、高脂血症、动脉硬化、神经病变和心绞痛取得较好的疗效。脑血栓形成急性期采用冲击疗法,瘫痪肢体功能恢复迅速、合并神经病变者,治疗后症状消失、神经功能改善。TG、TC、β-脂蛋白水平和TC/HDL比值均降低(P<0.01),HDL水平上升(P<0.01),对比治疗前后血6-Keto-PGF_(1α)、TXB_2和纤维结合素FN的水平改善,具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。     

大剂量地塞米松及SOD在实验性脑损伤中的治疗作用

大剂量地塞米松和ＳＯＤ是外伤性脑继发性损害药物治疗的新方案。本实验在豚鼠局灶性脑损伤模型上试用该两种药物，通过脑含水量、灶周伊文斯兰渗出、血ＣＫ、Ｃａ和ＬＤＨ含室及光镜和电镜病理检查等指标。     

米非司酮配伍米索前列醇终止早孕用药方法的探讨

作者对１２０例妊娠４９ｄ以内的孕妇采用４种不同的服药方法进行药物流产，其中使用第３、４种用药方法的孕妇均于加用米索前列醇后８ｈ内排出孕囊，且２ｈ内排出率明显增加，与常规用药方法比较有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０１），同时对用药机理作了讨论。     

Treatment of dual diagnosis patients: A relapse prevention group approach

The authors describe the successful use of an adjunctive group psychotherapy for substance-abusing patients with major psychiatric disorders (bipolar, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, psychotic depression, and atypical psychosis). The group utilizes a psychoeducational approach that focuses on substance abuse causes and consequences, principles of recovery, and relapse prevention strategies. Eight patients with prolonged histories of abuse of cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs were enrolled in this weekly group treatment at a community mental health center drug treatment program, while continuing in treatment with their current case manager or primary therapist. Six of the eight patients achieved periods of stable abstinence, documented by self-report, urine toxicology screens, continued group attendance, and improved social functioning. Case examples are utilized to illustrate the group process.     

电针灸治疗精神药物所致肥胖症的临床观察

目的:探讨电针灸治疗精神药物所致肥胖症的疗效。方法:(1)治疗对象为服用精神药物所致的肥胖症患者。(2)符合肥胖症的诊断标准。(3)排除妊娠期、哺乳期患者,共计65人。(4)在主穴的基础上,根据辨证分型配合次穴。(5)先针刺,然后接通G6805-2多用治疗仪。(6)总疗程30次。结果:总有效率为89.23%。结论:电针是精神药物所致肥胖症的安全有效的治疗方法之一,并对治疗精神药物所致肥胖症提出了一些干预措施。     

The pros and cons of fecal occult blood testing for colorectal neoplasms

Testing feces for occult blood is widely recommended as a means of detecting subclinical colorectal tumors. Guaiac tests such as Hemoccult^® are the most widely used, but chemical sensitivity is relatively low and the tests are affected by dietary peroxidases, the state of fecal hydration, and certain drugs. The newly devised HemoQuant^® and immunologic techniques appear more sensitive and specific, but they require further evaluation before widespread clinical usage can be recommended.Occult blood screening has both merits and weaknesses. Testing does uncover subclinical colorectal cancer, often at a relatively early stage, but whether this actually improves the prognosis remains to be proven. Benign neoplastic polyps are also detected, although it is debatable whether this is a valid rationale for screening. Test sensitivity for malignancy varies from good to moderate, but is poor for benign polyps. Specificity is usually around 97%–98%, yet the predictive value of a positive test for cancer is only about 10%: hence most test-positive individuals are needlessly subjected to invasive colonic investigations. Reported figures on public compliance with occult blood testing vary widely from excellent to poor. Published costs of screening are usually quite low, but these overlook important indirect and hidden expenses and are therefore misleading.On balance, the problems of occult blood testing currently appear to outweight the merits. This could change, however, with the newer testing techniques and with awaited mortality data from controlled clinical trials now underway.
