后循环缺血与眩晕

后循环又称椎基底动脉系统，由椎动脉、基底动脉和大脑后动脉（posterior cerebral artery，PCA）组成，主要向脑干、小脑、丘脑、枕叶、部分颞叶等结构供血。后循环缺血（posterior circulation ischemia,PCI）是常见的缺血性脑血管病。与前循环缺血一样，PCI也可按缺血程度和持续时间的不同分为短暂性脑缺血发作（transient ischemic attack,TIA）和脑梗死。其同义词包括椎基底动脉系统缺血、后循环TIA和脑梗死、椎基底动脉疾病、椎基底动脉血栓栓塞性疾病。     

Zolpidem induced nocturnal sleep‐related eating disorder (NSRED) in a male patient

Nocturnal Sleep‐Related Eating Disorder (NSRED) is a well‐documented sleeping disorder where the person is reported to experience bizarre eating behavior during sleep. Although various causes are implicated in this disorder, role of drugs cannot be ruled out. Here we narrate an interesting rare case report of a drug‐induced new onset NSRED, where a 45‐year‐old man on zolipdem performed an unexpected and bizarre eating behavior during somnambulistic state, type of which has not been reported earlier in the literature. The case falls under even rarer category as such behavior in sleep is reported mainly in woman. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 2009     

152例老年高血压病的诊治体会

目的:观察中西医结合治疗老年高血压的疗效。方法:将152例老年高血压患者随机分成两组,对照组76例采用西药治疗,治疗组76例除用西药治疗外辅助中药治疗。结果:治疗组显效30例,有效44例,总有效率97.4%;对照组显效24例,有效40例,总有效率为84.2%。结论:中西医结合治疗老年高血压有较好的疗效。     

水稻亚种间杂种优势利用研究

本试验探讨了华南双季稻区利用亚种同杂种优势的特点和问题,结果表明:当前,两系亚种问杂种一代主要存在的问题是结实率低和谷草比低;籼粳交杂种易受环境条件的影响;每穗实粒数和单株有效穗数是决定单株产量的重要因子;每穗实粒数增加的关键在于结实率的提高,本文还就提高结实率和谷草比等问题提出了意见。     

A Biomechanical Double Sac (Pericardium-Pebax) for Specially Shaped Artificial Ventricles: A Computerized Study to Evaluate Its Mechanical and Volumetric Properties

Abstract: For original ovoid shaped artificial ventricles. a biomechanical double sac consisting of a biological sac (porcine pericardium) as the blood contact interface and a synthetic sac (Pebax 3533) as the mechanical support to assume systolic-diastolic dynamic constraints was conceived. The volumetric and mechanical properties were assessed with a three-dimensional modeling of Pebax sacs and computerized simulations of their systolic distortions for both right and left ventricular configurations. The stresses and strains of these sacs were represented as quantitative mappings for a maximum end-systolic state and were below the respective threshold values above which the Pebax material is jeopardized for permanent structure impairment. After fatigue tests applied on Pebax strips under the alleged working conditions of Pebax sacs, the material structure was unchanged and maintained its intrinsic mechanical properties. The theoretical maximum stroke volumes were 74.4 cm³ and 62.4 cm for the left and right ventricular configurations, respectively. With these mechanical and volumetric features, the biomechanical double sac concept was considered valid and could be provided for a consequent specific total artificial heart.
