高血压的社区管理与医院内科门诊管理效果比较

目的 评价健康教育在社区高血压患者管理中的效果。方法 随机抽取北京复兴医院月坛社区卫生服务中心管理的高血压患者603例作为研究对象,以同期该院三里河内科门诊就诊的高血压患者617例作为对照,进行血压测量和问卷调查。结果 社区高血压患者高血压知识知晓率明显好于内科门诊高血压患者(P<0.01);其生活方式(遵医行为、体育锻炼、食盐量等)较好;血压控制情况也好于门诊患者(P<0.01)。结论 规范、定期的健康教育可以提高高血压患者对高血压知识的知晓情况,改善高血压患者的不良行为习惯;利用社区卫生服务站固定的合作关系及新型医患模式有利于健康教育、健康知识普及和取得治疗成效。     

特发性脊柱侧凸患者椎旁肌中神经营养素3的表达及意义

目的:研究特发性脊柱侧凸(IS)患者椎旁肌组织中神经营养素3(Neurotrophin-3,NT-3)在核酸水平(mRNA)的表达情况。方法:随机选择19例IS患者,年龄12～19岁,平均14.3岁,Cobb角42°～80°(平均54°)。手术中取顶椎(T7～T10)凸侧、凹侧椎旁肌肉组织,采用半定量RT-PCR法检测NT-3 mRNA表达水平。取4例相同年龄段的椎间盘突出患者手术切口头端非病变部位椎旁肌肉组织作为对照。结果:对照组椎旁肌中NT-3的mRNA表达阳性率50%,相对表达量为0.0237±0.0158,IS组患者椎旁肌中表达阳性率63.16%,相对表达量为0.1213±0.0939,较对照组表达量增加(P=0.051)。9例Cobb角>50°的IS患者表达阳性率为44.44%,相对表达量0.0431±0.0359,和对照组无明显差异;10例Cobb角≤50°的IS患者中表达阳性率为80%,相对表达量为0.1604±0.0895,与对照组和Cobb角>50°的IS患者比较有明显增加(P<0.01)。结论:正常椎旁肌组织中NT-3在核酸水平微量表达,特发性脊柱侧凸患者椎旁肌组织中NT-3 mRNA表达增加,尤其在小角度IS患者中增加明显,提示IS患者中存在神经营养因子表达异常。     

What is "tight control" of diabetes? Goals, limitations, and evaluation of therapy

Complete normalization of the blood glucose concentration is the ideal goal in patients with diabetes. Because of deficiencies in therapeutic modalities for diabetes, achievement of approximation of normoglycemia is usually a satisfactory result. Generally, blood glucose ranges of 70 to 120 mg/dl preprandially and less than 160 to 180 mg/dl 90 minutes postprandially in nonpregnant patients with diabetes are considered appropriate. Diurnal variations in glycemia can be caused by the size and composition of meals, the time of day a meal is eaten, stress, and exercise. Self-monitoring of blood glucose by the patient and measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin have been useful in achieving control of diabetes.     

医疗纠纷的非诉讼解决方式-医疗纠纷ADR

由于在纠纷解决方面所表现出来的简便，经济，快捷，专业性及保密性强等优点，非诉讼纠纷解决方式（又可译为代替性纠纷解决方式）ADR（Alternative Dispute Resolution）逐渐成为许多国家和地区解决民事纠纷的一大趋势，我国现行医疗纠纷解决机制存在着较多的问题，有待于进一步的改善与完善，根据我国所面临的现实情况，将ADR引入医疗纠纷领域是一条快速，有效地解决医疗纠纷的途径，医疗纠纷的非诉讼纠纷解决方式主要包括仲裁，调解与和解，这3种纠纷解决方式各具特点，适用于不同情况下医疗纠纷的解决。     

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia is an abnormally low plasma glucose concentration and not a disease entity. With the exception of the effect of hypoglycemic drugs (insulins and sulfonylureas), hypoglycemia arises from an aberration in one or more mechanisms involved in glucose homeostasis. Progress in our knowledge of glucose homeostasis in the past decade and the development of radioimmunoassay for insulin, the primary hypoglycemic hormone, and C-peptide, a marker of insulin secretion, have facilitated both the understanding and diagnostic precision of hypoglycemic disorders.     

Influence of caseload and surgical speciality on outcome following surgery for colorectal cancer: a review of evidence Part 2: Long-term outcome

OBJECTIVE: We reviewed recent literature to assess the impact of hospital caseload, surgeon's caseload and education on long-term outcome following colorectal cancer surgery. METHOD: We searched the MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases for relevant literature starting from 1992. We selected hospital caseload, surgeon's caseload and surgeon's education, type of hospital, and surgeon's experience as variables of interest. Measures of outcome were recurrence-free survival and overall survival, and for rectal cancer frequency of permanent stoma. We reviewed the 34 studies according to tumour location: colonic cancer, rectal cancer, or colorectal cancer. We described the studies individually and performed a meta-analysis whenever it was considered appropriate. RESULTS: For colonic cancer, overall survival improved with increasing hospital caseload, odds ratio (OR) 1.22 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16-1.28], and surgeon's education. For rectal cancer, overall survival improved with increasing hospital caseload, OR 1.38 (95% CI 1.19-1.60), and, possibly by surgeon' education and experience. Cancer-free survival was strongly influenced by surgeon's education. The colostomy rate was less in high caseload hospitals, OR 0.76 (95% CI 0.68-0.85). For colorectal cancer, overall survival improved with surgeon's education. CONCLUSION: The data have provided evidence that long-term survival following colorectal cancer surgery in general improved significantly with increasing hospital caseload and surgeon's education.

A fine-scale comparison of the human and chimpanzee genomes: linkage, linkage disequilibrium and sequence analysis

We have performed a fine-scale comparative study of the human and chimpanzee genomes, using linkage, linkage disequilibrium and sequence analyses on microsatellite loci spanning a region of approximately 30 cM on human chromosome 4p. Our results extend the findings of previous studies that indicated virtually complete conservation between the human and chimpanzee genomes at the chromosomal and sub-chromosomal level and support the hypothesis, derived from previous analyses of mitochondrial DNA, that chimpanzee populations are more diverse than human ones. By sequencing several human and chimpanzee alleles of two microsatellites we showed that base substitutions that diminish the length of perfect repeats (but do not change allele sizes) are probably responsible for the low heterozygosity of these loci in chimpanzees; our results suggest that the evolutionary history of microsatellites should not be inferred from comparisons of mean allele lengths between populations or species.
