类保幼激素对三带喙库蚊幼期发育的影响

本文报告用亚致死剂量的 S—31183(类保幼激素)处理三带喙库蚊幼虫对其发育影响的研究,结果表明处理后蛹期死亡率明显高于幼虫期,并且与剂量大小有关。S—31183处理幼虫并不影响幼虫的发育时间,但可使幼虫化蛹时蜕皮受阻与羽化受到一定的抑制。     

A clinical study of nasopharyngeal masses

Out of 36511 patients attending the ENT OHD of R. G,. Aur Medical Callege & Hospital. Kolkata, in one year 0.08% patients were found tuning naspharyngeal mass. 30 cases of nasopharyngeal mass were studied. The peak incidence of nasopharyngeal mass was in the age group between II to 20 years (40%). The incidence in males (73%) was more than females(27%). The maximum ineldence was found among students (74%). Commonest ntuopharyngeal nuns teas antrochoanal polyp (30%). Next commlon masses were adenoids (23%)Juvenile angwfibroma(20%) and nasophartngeal carcinoma (13%). Nasal obstruction was the main presenting symptom(83%) followed by epistaxis (40%).     

Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy: Factors of Error Involved in the Diagnosis and Treatment

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy, has a distinct clinical and electroencephalographic profile. Often JME is not recognized, with serious consequences on the sufferers. We examined factors contributing to the missed diagnosis even in an epilepsy clinic. Of 70 JME patients, 66 (91.4%) were not diagnosed on referral and 22 (33%) were not initially recognized in the epilepsy clinic. The correct diagnosis was established after a mean of 8.3 +/- 5.5 years from disease onset and an interval of 17.7 +/- 10.4 months from first evaluation in the epilepsy clinic. Myoclonic jerks, the hallmark of the disease, were not usually reported by patients. Similarly, relevant questioning may not be included in the history. Absence seizures antedating jerks by many years, myoclonic jerks reported as unilateral, generalized tonic-clonic seizures occurring during sleep and focal EEG abnormalities are other factors contributing to not recognizing JME. Our study reemphasizes the need to have not only a correct seizure diagnosis but also a correct epilepsy-disease diagnosis.     

Intracranial actinomycosis in juvenile patients Case report and review of the literature

A case of actinomycotic brain infection in a juvenile patient is described. Cases of actinomycosis affecting the head and neck are rare, particularly in juvenile patients. In this case complete resolution of the infection was achieved by means of surgical treatment and prolonged antibiotic therapy. The authors emphasize the importance of a combined approach for treatment of this unusual brain infection and stress the difficulties involved in the diagnosis of this pathology.

Subselective embolisation in management of JNA

Role of Embolisation in preoperative management of Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is well established in present day therapeutic modalities. An improvised technique i.e., subselective embolisation has been provided by Interventional radiologists to fortify the therapeutic results. This study compares the final outcome of seven cases, four of which were embolised pre operatively. Each case was dealt with varying surgical approaches.     

女性服刑人员精神创伤的特征

目的调查女性服刑人员精神创伤的特征。方法在湖南新路职业学校中,采用多级随机整群抽样的原则抽取471个女性服刑人员,分青少年组（年龄≤25岁）和成年组（〉25岁）。运用创伤性生活事件问卷（TLEQ）和访谈相结合的技术评估她们的精神创伤经历。结果（1）90.4%的女性服刑人员至少经历1件创伤性事件,63.7%至少经历3件或以上的多重创伤。青少年组的事件数量多于成年组（平均为4和3件,P〈0.01）。暴力和毒品相关犯罪组的事件数量相当（平均4件）,都多于经济犯罪组（2件）;中学或相当教育程度者的事件数量最多（4件）,大专或以上者最少（2件）;未婚、离婚/丧偶2组经历的事件数量最多（4件）,已婚组最少（2件）,均差异有显著性（P〈0.05）。（2）最多见的创伤类型是机动车祸（46.9%）、目睹家庭暴力（46.1%）和被抢劫（38.9%）。16.7%的女犯在18岁以前遭遇过性虐待。与成年组相比,青少年组经历了更多的创伤类型为被抢劫、目睹被惨打、目睹家庭暴力,以及儿童期性虐待。结论我国文化背景下,女性服刑人员的精神创伤经历相当普遍,是精神创伤的潜在受害者。     

DNA限制性内切酶分析应用于伴放线放线杆菌的鉴定和分型

本文用限制性内切酶分析(REA)作伴放线放线杆菌(Aa)的鉴定和分型研究,提取Aa染色体DNA,井分别用BamHI、HindⅢ,Sal Ⅰ和Xho Ⅰ消化,作琼脂糖凝胶电泳。结果显示,Aa和嗜沫嗜血杆菌的DNA片段图谱明显不同;分属于两种不同血清型的两株Aa菌株,其DNA片段图谱也明显不同。这表明,REA可用于Aa菌的鉴定和分型,在所用的4种酶中,以Sal Ⅰ和Xho Ⅰ消化的DNA片段图谱差异最明显。     

Perceived adherence to prescribed treatment in juvenile idiopathic arthritis over a one‐year period

Objective

To document perceived adherence to treatment (taking medications and performing exercises) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) over a 1‐year period and to identify related factors.

Methods

We surveyed parents of patients with JIA at the Montreal Children's Hospital and British Columbia's Children's Hospital in Vancouver. Parents were asked to respond to a series of questionnaires every 3 months over a 12‐month period. Perceived adherence was evaluated on a 100‐mm visual analog scale (VAS) in the Parent Adherence Report Questionnaire (PARQ). Parental coping, distress, child function, disease severity and duration, perceived helpfulness of treatment, problems encountered, and sociodemographic data were also assessed.

Results

The mean age of our sample of 175 children was 10.2 years; mean age at diagnosis was 6.1 years and mean disease duration was 4.1 years. Perceived adherence to medications was consistently high, with average adherence at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months being 86.1, 91.7, 90.4, 92.0, and 88.8, respectively, on the PARQ VAS. Perceived adherence to exercise was lower but remained steady, with corresponding means of 54.5, 64.1, 61.2, 63.0, and 54.3, respectively. Using generalized estimating equation analysis, factors associated with higher perceived adherence to medications included perceived helpfulness of medications and lower disease severity; those associated with higher perceived adherence to exercise were younger age of the child, child involvement in responsibility for treatment, and higher perceived helpfulness of the treatment.

Conclusion

Belief in helpfulness of treatment is associated with higher parental perceived adherence to treatment.
