Chironomids fail to emerge from LAS-contaminated water

The effect of the surfactant LAS was investigated on chironomid emergence using six outdoor artificial channels. The concentrations of LAS were mostly between 1 and 2 mgl^-1 in the three treated channels. Chironomus yoshimatsui, Cricotopus tamapullus, Eukiefferiella coerescens, Eukiefferiella sp. and Thienemanniella majuscula were the major chironomids obtained with emergence traps. The number of midges trapped did not differ significantly between the treatment and the control for either of the species. On the other hand, the ratios of midges failing to emerge to the total midges trapped was significantly higher in the treatment than in the control for all of the species. The results show that chironomids emergence is difficult as a result of LAS treatment probably due to the lowered surface tension.     

Early child health in Lahore, Pakistan: XIII. Primary teeth emergence

The aim of this study was to investigate the number of emerged primary teeth at various ages from 6 to 24 months in 1347 longitudinally followed Pakistan infants sampled from four socio-economically different areas in Lahore, Pakistan; from a very poor periurban slum to a privileged upper middle class group. The emergence of the primary teeth was found to be little, or not all related to sex or to the area of living. However, in comparison with studies conducted in other continents, the Indo-Pak subcontinent population lags behind in primary teeth emergence, especially in early life. This genetic difference makes it necessary to create specific standards of primary teeth emergence for this population.     

Genetic analysis of cercarial emergence rhythms ofSchistosoma mansoni

Using two chronobiological variants ofSchistosoma mansoni (a blood fluke infecting man) from Guadeloupe (French West Indies), we carried out experimental crossbreeding between schistosomes with an early and those with a late cercarial shedding pattern. The results obtained on the F₁ (intermediate shedding patterns) and F₂ generations (early, intermediate, and late patterns) demonstrate that the cercarial emergence rhythms of schistosomes are genetically determined. This genetic variability is interpreted as a consequence of the selective pressure exerted by the two different hosts (man and rat) implicated in the life cycle ofS. mansoni from the Guadeloupean focus of schistosomiasis.This work received financial support from the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases and the CNRS.     

全凭静脉与吸入全身麻醉苏醒期躁动发生率的临床观察

目的比较丙泊酚、地氟烷、七氟烷复合瑞芬太尼全身麻醉苏醒期躁动的发生情况。方法90例ASAⅠ～Ⅱ级择期全身麻醉下行乳腺癌根治术及鼓室成形术。随机分成三组：丙泊酚组、地氟烷组、七氟烷组。观察各组苏醒期躁动发生率和睁眼时间、拔管时间,监测躁动发生前后血压、心率及脉搏血氧饱和度。结果地氟烷组和七氟烷组苏醒期躁动发生率分别为31．03％和33．33％,高于丙泊酚组的3．33％（P〈0．05）;睁眼时间、拔管时间差异不具有显著性意义（P〉0．05）;躁动发生前后血压、脉搏血氧饱和度差异无显著性意义（P〉0．05）,而心率在躁动发生后明显增快（P〈0．05）。结论地氟烷、七氟烷吸入麻醉苏醒期躁动发生率明显高于丙泊酚全身麻醉。     

Effectiveness of Montessori-based activities on agitation among Asian patients with dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Objectives:Montessori based activity are supposed to be an effective nonpharmacological intervention in the treatment of agitation in western countries. However, most studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Montessori based activities on agitation in Asian patients were small sample size, as well as inconsistent outcomes, which may limit the reliability of the conclusions. The present pooled analysis, hence, was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the activity on agitation related with dementia in Asian patients with dementia.Design:Prospective randomized clinical studies were included, of which available data was extracted. Outcomes of physical aggressive behaviors, physical nonaggressive behaviors, and verbal aggressive behaviors were pooled for the analysis by weighted mean differences.Data sources:Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP)Eligibility criteria:Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical studies, conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the activity on agitation related with dementia in Asian patients with dementia.Data extraction and synthesis:Available data including baseline characteristics and interested outcomes from the included literature were extracted independently by 2 investigators. Measuring scales including CMAI and NOSIE were adopted for the efficacy comparison between Montessori based activity and standard activity. Weighted mean difference was used for the pooled analysis.Results:A total of 460 participants were included in the present meta-analysis. The pooled mean difference agitation for Montessori based activity was –3.86 (95% CI: –7.38 to –0.34, P = 0.03) comparing to standard activity. The pooled mean differences for physical aggressive behaviors, physical nonaggressive behaviors, and verbal aggressive behaviors in Montessori based activity group were –0.82 (95% CI: –1.10 to –0.55; P < 0.00001), –0.81 (95% CI: –1.68 to 0.55; P = 0.07), and 0.38 (95% CI: –0.92 to 1.68; P = 0.57).Conclusions:Montessori based activities may reduce the frequency of agitation, especially in physical aggressive behaviors comparing to standard activities in Asian patients with dementia. However, the effectiveness of Montessori based activities on reduction of subcategorized agitated behaviors including physical nonaggressive behaviors, and verbal aggressive behaviors may not be reliable as physical aggressive behaviors.     

Identifying c-fos Expression as a Strategy to Investigate the Actions of General Anesthetics on the Central Nervous System

Although general anesthetics have been used in the clinic for more than 170 years, the ways in which they induce amnesia, unconsciousness, analgesia, and immobility remain elusive. Modulations of various neural nuclei and circuits are involved in the actions of general anesthetics. The expression of the immediate-early gene c-fos and its nuclear product, c-fos protein, can be induced by neuronal depolarization; therefore, c-fos staining is commonly used to identify the activated neurons during sleep and/or wakefulness, as well as in various physiological conditions in the central nervous system. Identifying c-fos expression is also a direct and convenient method to explore the effects of general anesthetics on the activity of neural nuclei and circuits. Using c-fos staining, general anesthetics have been found to interact with sleep- and wakefulness-promoting systems throughout the brain, which may explain their ability to induce unconsciousness and emergence from general anesthesia. This review summarizes the actions of general anesthetics on neural nuclei and circuits based on a c-fos expression.
