Cannabis and driving: A new perspective

Cannabis and driving is an emerging injury‐prevention concern. The incidence of driving while affected by cannabis is rising in parallel with increased cannabis use in the community. Younger drivers are at particular risk. Improvements in research methodology, technology and laboratory testing methods have occurred in the last 10 years. These cast doubt on earlier results and conclusions. Studies now show that cannabis has a significant impairing effect on driving when used alone and that this effect is exaggerated when combined with alcohol. Of particular concern is the presence of cannabis as the sole psychoactive drug in an increasing number of road fatalities and the lack of any structural response to this problem. A review of testing methods, laboratory and real driving studies, and recent epidemiological studies is presented. Suggestions for methods of further data collection and future public policy are made.

Th2细胞因子调节哮喘炎症细胞转运机制的研究

目的 探讨Th2细胞因子IL-5、IL-13调节哮喘炎症过程中肺和骨髓之间的细胞转运机制。方法 建立哮喘动物模型,获取肺泡灌洗液,检测IL-5、IFN-γ,浓度并进行病理分析;应用原位杂交技术检测肺组织IL-5、IL-13 mRNA表达和骨髓IL-5mRNA表达;免疫组化法观察肺、骨髓IL-5免疫反应细胞;流式细胞仪检测骨髓CD34、CD3阳性细胞。结果 哮喘组肺泡灌洗液IL-5浓度明显高于对照组(P<0.001);哮喘组肺组织病理改变显示小气道痉挛,管壁周围炎性细胞浸润,以嗜酸粒细胞、淋巴细胞为主;哮喘组肺组织IL-5、IL-13 mRNA表达较对照组显著增加(P<0.01);哮喘组骨髓IL-5 mRNA阳性细胞明显增加(P<0.001),与肺组织IL-5 mRNA表达的增高密切相关(P<0.05);此外,哮喘组肺组织和骨髓IL-5免疫反应细胞显著增加(P<0.01),骨髓CD34、CD3细胞均显著增高(P<0.01),并且CD34增高与骨髓细胞表达IL-5 mRNA密切相关(P<0.05)。结论IL-5可能在转录和转录后水平均参与调节骨髓嗜酸粒细胞的功能和炎症细胞在肺和骨髓之间的转运。     

Preventing accidental injury to young children in the home using volunteers

Accidental injury in the home is a major cause of death andill-health among young children. Reducing home safety hazardsby the use of safety devices such as stair barriers and safetytaps has the potential to prevent home injuries. Little is knownabout levels of home safety hazards or how to encourage parentsto reduce hazards. The Safe Place Project examined parents'knowledge of home safety and the prevalence of safety hazardsin homes where there were young children. The study also evaluatedthe effectiveness of a low-cost strategy aimed at reducing homesafety hazards. The strategy used trained volunteers to providehome safety checks and tailored safety education in conjunctionwith increasing the availability of home safety devices. Onehundred and six families with young children participated inthe project. Some homes contained many hazards, with 43% ofthe sample having more than 10 home safety hazards. At follow-up,the intervention group showed a significant reduction in homehazards and a trend towards an increase in knowledge of homesafety.     

道路交通事故损伤20825例法医临床学分析

目的拟找出道路交通事故损伤的一般规律和特征。方法通过对本省交警总队统计的 2 0 82 5例交通事故损伤 (文中不含铁路 ,简称交通事故 )进行分析。结果男性为多 ,青年人最多。损伤主要属于钝器伤 ,致残方式以撞击、碾压、摔跌和刮擦多见 ,发案时间以冬季多见。结论本组资料分析 ,交通事故总体呈上升趋势 ,颅脑损伤检查在法医临床学中居重要地位 ,颅脑损伤的某些特征能反映交通事故的特点 ,常为推断交通事故致伤情况提供一些重要证据。     

Prediction of Remission of Acute Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Motor Vehicle Accident Victims

One hundred forty five individuals who sought medical attention as a result of a motor vehicle accident (MVA), and who were initially assessed 1 to 4 months post-MVA, were followed up prospectively for 6 months to determine how many of the 55 with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the 43 with sub-syndromal PTSD would remit and what variables would predict remission. Thirty (55%) of those with initial PTSD had remitted at least in part by 6 months while 67% of those with sub-syndromal PTSD had remitted (and 5% had worsened). Four variables, including severity of initial symptoms, degree of initial physical injury, relative degree of physical recovery by 4 months and whether a close family member suffered a trauma during the follow-up interval, combined to classify 6-month clinical status of 84% of those with initial PTSD secondary to MVAs.

Product-Related Home Accidents in Children: A Survey of 1590 Accidents

ABSTRACT. In a well defined geographical area a total of 1590 accidents related to home products in children 0–15 years of age were prospectively registered. The incidence of product-related accidents was 279 per 10 000 children per year. A higher incidence in boys and a decreasing incidence of accidents with age was found. The most common localization of lesions was upper extremities 41% and face and skull 30%. In children 0–4 years of age household and child furniture, constructional features of the house and corrosives, hot liquids and heating equipment were the most common products causing accidents, whereas in children 5–15 years of age playthings and sports equipment as well as constructional features of the house were involved in a higher percentage of accidents.
