青蒿琥酯皮肤擦剂在小鼠和兔体内的药代动力学研究

将青蒿琥酯溶于苯二甲酸二甲酯,加适量氨酮制成皮肤擦剂。给兔脱毛后,皮肤涂抹此擦剂25mg/kg后,血药浓度达峰时间平均为2 h,峰浓度平均为1.80μg/ml。药物在兔体内平均驻留时间为3.54 h,清除半衰期约为2.46 h。给小鼠脱毛皮肤涂抹擦剂6.7,31.3和71.4 mg/kg,血药浓度在给药后0.5～4 h达高峰,峰浓度分别为0.82,2.05和7.11μg/ml,体内药物平均驻留时间为3.39,2.79及3.54 h,清除半衰期为2.35,1.93及2.45 h。可见,给兔及小鼠皮肤擦剂后,青蒿琥酯吸收良好,血药浓度维持时间较长。     

Sexual abuse of children: the necessity of medical intervention]

Recently the Dutch Health Council published a report on the medical aspects of sexual abuse of children. The questions underlying this report reflect an attempt to arrive at hard indices of sexual abuse in children through the assessment of physical symptoms. For the medical assessment, the authors refer to the Dutch translation of an English report entitled Physical signs of sexual abuse in children, published by The Royal College of Physicians. The hazards connected with the exclusive focus on physical symptoms are recognized, and the authors stress that medical examination should be part of a much broader assessment of the child and his/her family. However, instead of confining themselves to assessment issues of physical symptoms, the authors add a rather meagre account of behavioural and emotional factors relevant to the diagnosis of sexual abuse of children. Unfortunately, this approach seems to aggravate the problems underlying misdiagnosis rather than to increase diagnostic accuracy and improve adequate care for sexually abused children.     

Multiple dimensions of familial psychopathology affect risk of mood disorder in children of bipolar parents.

The aim of our study was to determine whether familial loading of unipolar disorder, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorder are associated with DSM-IV mood disorders in adolescents at risk for bipolar disorder. One hundred and forty adolescents aged 12-21 years of 86 bipolar parents participated in the study. Lifetime DSM-IV diagnoses of the bipolar offspring were assessed with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children Kiddie-SADS-Present and Lifetime Version (SADS-PL). Parents were interviewed using the Family History Research Diagnostic Criteria (FH-RDC) which were used to calculate a continuous familial loading score (FL) for unipolar disorder, bipolar disorder, and for substance use disorder in first- and second-degree relatives of the adolescents. FL for unipolar disorder and substance use disorder were strong and independent predictors for lifetime mood disorders in the adolescents. The gender adjusted hazard ratios for mood disorders in the children were 1.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.2-2.0) for FL of unipolar disorder and 1.8 (95% CI = 1.3-2.4) for FL of substance use disorder. Expression of mood disorders in children of bipolar parents varies with the degree of additional FL of unipolar disorder and substance use disorder in the extended family.
