中国私立医院风头正劲——华尔街日报作为一家大律师事务所的高级合伙人,庄先生说,他可以很轻松地花7万美元买一辆进口宝马(BMW)车,或1．2 万美元买块Jaeger-LeCoultre金表。但去年,当这位律师患上偏头痛时,他却不得不排着长队,忍受着粗暴的服务,到固营医院去看病。而费用仅仅是6美元。因为是有钱人,庄先生没有透露他的全名。他说宁愿多花点钱,也希望享受到方便舒适的医疗服务。去年底,他     

Pseudodissection of the coronary artery: A variation caused by interventional tools

During PTCA immediate decisions often must be made on the basis of a less than optimum data set. We present a combination of factors which produce an incorrect perception of a coronary artery dissection. This potential must be understood by the interventionalist to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate therapeutic maneuvers. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

儿童感觉统合失调及其影响因素的调查分析

Resistance exercise training and alendronate reverse glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in heart transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND: Immunosuppression therapy with bolus glucocorticoids causes regional osteoporosis in the axial skeleton of heart transplant recipients (HTR). No preventive strategy is generally accepted for steroid-induced bone loss. METHODS: To determine the efficacy of an anti-osteoporosis regimen that combined a bisphosphonate agent (alendronate sodium) with the osteogenic stimulus of mechanical loading, 25 HTRs were randomly assigned either to a group that received alendronate (10 mg/day) for 6 months (ALEN; n = 8), a group that received alendronate (10 mg/day) and performed specific resistance exercises for 6 months (ALEN + TRN; n = 8) or to a non-intervention control group (CONTR; n = 9). Alendronate was initiated at 2 months after transplantation. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the total body, femur neck and lumbar spine (L-2 and L-3) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry before and 2, 5 and 8 months after transplantation. Resistance training consisted of lumbar extension exercise (MedX) performed 1 day/week and 8 variable resistance exercises (MedX) performed 2 days/week. RESULTS: Pre-transplantation BMD values did not differ among the 3 groups. BMD of the total body, femur neck and lumbar vertebra were significantly decreased below baseline at 2 months after transplantation in CONTR (-2.6 +/- 0.9%, -5.1 +/- 1.8%, -12.5 +/- 4.2%, respectively), ALEN (-2.8 +/- 0.8%, -5.3 +/- 1.6%, -12.0 +/- 3.9%) and ALEN + TRN groups (-2.7 +/- 1.0%, -5.6 +/- 2.1%, -11.2 +/- 3.7%). CONTR had further significant losses of BMD after 3 and 6 months. ALEN had no further regional BMD losses after initiation of alendronate therapy. ALEN + TRN restored BMD of the whole body, femur neck and lumbar vertebra to within 0.9%, 2.1%, and 3.4% of pre-transplantation levels, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Resistance exercise plus alendronate was more efficacious than alendronate alone in restoring BMD in HTRs. Our results indicate that anti-osteoporosis therapy in this population should include both an anti-resorptive agent as well as an osteogenic stimulus, such as mechanical loading.

双频谱指数在心脏瓣膜置换术中的观察

目的应用脑电双频谱指数(BIS)监测常规经验麻醉下瓣膜置换术病人的麻醉深度(意识水平),观察BIS在伤害性刺激时的变化.方法选择30例瓣膜置换术病人,采用芬太尼、咪唑安定、哌库溴铵及心血管活性药物对病人实施麻醉;术中监测并有专人分别记录入室(基础值)、诱导后、插管后、切皮后、锯胸骨时、缝胸骨时及术毕BIS和MAP,HR各参数值,观察不同阶段各参数的变化.结果诱导后各参数均明显降低,虽然切皮后、锯胸骨及缝胸骨等强刺激后MAP和HR未见统计学意义的显著改变,但BIS却显著增高(P＜0.01);全部病人锯胸骨时BIS均在60(67.28±8.97)以上,缝胸骨时63(68.46±8.70)以上,而无1例低于50者.结论该组瓣膜置换术病人麻醉偏浅,尤以锯胸骨、缝胸骨及术毕等时段为甚,表现为BIS值偏高,有知晓发生;知晓可发生在临床认为满意的麻醉中;应用BIS监测,可更加合理地评价麻醉深度.     

Liver Transplant Recipients Older Than 60 Years Have Lower Survival and Higher Incidence of Malignancy

Older age is not considered a contraindication for liver transplantation, but age-related morbidity may be a cause of mortality. Survival and the incidence of the main post-transplant complications were assessed in 111 adult liver transplant recipients. They were divided in two groups according to their age (patients younger than 60 years, n=54; patients older than 60 years, n=57) and both groups were compared. Older patients were more frequently transplanted for hepatitis C (p= 0.03) and hepatocellular carcinoma (p= 0.05) and their liver disease was less advanced (Child-Pugh and MELD scores were significantly lower; p=0.004 and p=0.05, respectively). After transplantation, older patients had a significantly lower survival (p=0.02). Higher age was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio for each 10-year increase: 2.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.1- 4.0; p=0.02). The incidence of de novo neoplasia and nonskin neoplasia were higher in older patients (p=0.02 and p =0.007, respectively). Malignancy was the cause of death in one patient younger than 60 years and in 12 patients older than 60 years (p =0.002). In multivariate analysis, a higher age and smoking were independently associated with a higher risk of dying of de novo neoplasia. In conclusion, older liver transplant recipients have a significantly lower survival than younger patients. Malignancy is responsible for this decreased survival.

高血压合并脑梗死患者血浆C-反应蛋白、纤维蛋白原及白细胞变化的研究

目的探讨高血压合并脑梗死患者急性期血浆C-反应蛋白(CRP)、纤维蛋白原(Fib)水平、白细胞(WBC)及分类计数的变化与高血压合并脑梗死的关系。方法将患者分为两组,高血压合并脑梗死组(68例)和单纯高血压组(65例),检测两组患者急性期血浆CRP、Fib和WBC水平。结果高血压合并脑梗死患者急性期CRP、Fib水平、WBC总数、中性粒细胞数均比单纯高血压患者明显增高(P＜0．01)。结论C-反应蛋白、纤维蛋白原和白细胞升高可能与脑梗死的发生和进展相关,抗炎治疗可能是脑梗死治疗的一个选择。     

Understanding the effects of a decentralized budget on physicians' compliance with guidelines for statin prescription – a multilevel methodological approach

Background  

Official guidelines that promote evidence-based and cost-effective prescribing are of main relevance for obvious reasons. However, to what extent these guidelines are followed and their conditioning factors at different levels of the health care system are still insufficiently known.
