We examined the impact of the 921 Taiwan Earthquake on internalizing and externalizing behaviours among junior high school students 2 and 4 years after the earthquake. This study was a secondary analysis using data extracted from the Taiwan Education Panel Survey and included 12111 students. The impact of the earthquake was assessed by the length of time to restore the home environment and whether a family member died or was severely injured in the earthquake. Generalized estimating equations showed that living in an urban area and a longer duration after the earthquake were associated with increased internalizing and externalizing behaviours. Boys reported more externalizing but fewer internalizing behaviours than girls. After adjustment for those variables, having a family member who had died or was severely injured was not significantly associated with increased internalizing and externalizing behaviours. However, a longer duration of time to restore the home environment was significantly associated with these behaviours. Regardless of the impact level of the disaster, adolescents had increased internalizing and externalizing behaviours from the seventh to ninth grades. Post‐disaster mental health services should continue monitoring and supporting children whose ordinary home living is affected by a natural disaster up to 4 years post‐disaster.

Objectives A liposome preparation that is amenable to receptor‐mediated endocytosis has been developed to enhance the oral bioavailability of poorly absorbable peptidomi‐metic drugs by use of folic acid as the mediator of liposomal uptake. Methods Folic acid was physically coupled to the surface of the liposomes and cefotaxime was used as the model drug. In‐vivo evaluation was carried out on eight Sprague‐Dawley rats in a two‐way crossover study to compare the oral bioavailability of cefotaxime loaded in folic acid‐free liposomes and folic acid‐coupled liposomes. Blood samples were collected from the tail vein and plasma cefotaxime levels were determined using an HPLC method. Key findings Enhanced oral bioavailability (AUC0‐∞) of cefotaxime was observed when administered via folic acid‐coupled liposomes. The peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of cefotaxime was increased when administered via folic acid‐coupled liposomes as compared with folic acid‐free liposomes. At 90% confidence interval, the value for AUC0‐∞ was 1.4–2‐times higher and the value for Cmax was 1.2–1.8‐times higher for the folic acid‐coupled liposomes compared with folic acid‐free liposomes. Conclusions Folic acid could enhance the uptake of liposomally entrapped drug. It could be a useful candidate to supplement liposome delivery systems. 相似文献

AIM OF THE STUDY: Gypenosides, the saponins extract derived from Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino, have been used for treating hepatitis and cancer in Asia. Our previous study demonstrates that gypenosides inhibit the onset and improve the recovery of liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 in rats. In this study, we used the isolated rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) as a model to study the cellular mechanism of gypenosides-inhibited liver fibrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rat HSCs was treated with PDGF, gypenosides or vehicle. Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue staining. Apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry. The activation or inhibition of signal molecules was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Our results showed that 500 microg/ml gypenosides decreased PDGF-induced rat HSCs numbers (8750+/-2629 versus 103,000+/-6683, p<0.001, 95% confidence interval) and arrested cells at the G1 phase without the presence of sub-G1 fraction. Analysis of PDGF-induced proliferative molecules including phosphorylation of Akt and p70 S6K, gypenosides inhibited the activation of this signal pathway. Furthermore, gypenosides down-regulated the protein expression of cell cycle G1-specific cyclin D1 and D3. CONCLUSIONS: Gypenosides inhibited PDGF-induced HSCs proliferation by inhibiting the signal pathway of PDGF-Akt-p70 S6K and down-regulation of cyclin D1 and D3 expression. 相似文献

Extrapyramidal symptoms are frequently found in patients with schizophrenia. Most are attributed as drug-induced parkinsonism, but comorbidity of idiopathic Parkinson's disease is also possible. We report a 59-year-old male with a diagnosis of schizophrenia for 32 years. Progressive hand tremor was noted from age 53; and then masked face, bradykinesia, dysphagia, sialorrhea; and unsteady shuffling gait became markedly exacerbated, even after discontinuing all antipsychotics for 6 months. The diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease was confirmed by Tc99m TRODAT SPECT. The dilemma of psychopharmacological treatment to control both disorders was encountered. Based on the review of treatment for Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP), the recommended treatments suggest the utilization of quetiapine, clozapine, or aripiprazole. However, monotherapy with each of the three atypical antipsychotics failed due to poor efficacy or worsening of parkinsonism symptoms. After a 2-month cautious titration, a combination of quetiapine 50 mg/day and clozapine 37.5 mg/day finally achieved satisfactory efficacy. This case report illustrates the dilemma of treating a patient with schizophrenia and comorbid idiopathic Parkinson's disease, which differed from PDP and required more clinical data for a proper treatment recommendation. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Tumor hypoxia modifies treatment efficacy and promotes tumor progression. Here, we investigated the relationship between osteopontin (OPN), tumor pO(2), and prognosis in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We performed linear discriminant analysis, a machine learning algorithm, on the NCI-60 cancer cell line microarray expression database to identify a gene profile that best distinguish cell lines with high Von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene expression, an important regulator of hypoxia-related genes, from those with low expression. Plasma OPN levels in 15 volunteers, 31 VHL patients, and 54 HNSCC patients were quantitatively measured by ELISA. The relationships between plasma OPN levels, tumor pO(2) as measured by the Eppendorf microelectrode, freedom from relapse (FFR), and survival in HNSCC patients were evaluated. RESULTS: Microarray analysis indicated that OPN gene expression inversely correlated with that of VHL. These findings were confirmed by Northern blot analysis. ELISA studies and Western blot in a HNSCC cell line demonstrated that hypoxia exposure resulted in increased OPN secretion. Patients with VHL syndrome had significantly higher plasma OPN levels than healthy volunteers. Plasma OPN level inversely correlated with tumor pO(2) (P = 0.003, r = -0.42). OPN levels correlated with clinical outcomes. The 1-year FFR and survival rates were 80 and 100%, respectively, for patients with OPN levels 450 ng/ml (P = 0.002 and 0.0005). Multivariate analysis revealed that OPN was an independent predictor for FFR and survival. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma OPN levels appeared to correlate with tumor hypoxia in HNSCC patients and may serve as noninvasive tests to identify patients at high risk for tumor recurrence. 相似文献
