Rates of alcohol consumption and risk status among Australian university students vary by assessment questions

Introduction and Aims. Different self‐report methods tend to produce different estimates of alcohol consumption. The present study compares differences in rates and risk levels based on responses to a modified version of the Daily Drinking Questionnaire (m‐DDQ) and quantity‐frequency (QF) questions. Design and Methods. The sample comprised 2082 university students, 61% of whom were female and 39% male with a mean age of 23.5 years. An email containing an online link to a brief six‐question survey was emailed to students enrolled in participating faculties at the University of Wollongong, Australia. Current drinkers completed m‐DDQ and QF questions about alcohol consumption. Results. QF methods identified significantly lower estimates of consumption (Mean = 9.15, SD = 12.51) compared with m‐DDQ (Mean = 13.06, SD = 14.07). Allocation to risk categories based on the Australian Alcohol Guidelines were conducted for both the m‐DDQ and QF methods. Almost twice as many students were found to be drinking at levels considered risky using the m‐DDQ method compared with QF. In addition, the relative rank order of participants varied significantly between the two methods. Discussion and Conclusions. The m‐DDQ method identified higher rates of drinking and categorised almost twice as many individuals into risky categories of drinking compared with QF. Such variations have major implications for identification of risk groups in health promotion or prevention programs.[Utpala‐Kumar R, Deane FP.

Recent Advances in Structure-Based Virtual Screening of G-Protein Coupled Receptors

In addition to the rhodopsin crystal structure, high-resolution crystal structures of ligand-mediated G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have recently become available, and these have become attractive templates for developing homology models of several GPCRs of therapeutic interest. These crystal structures and the homology models derived from them have provided significant insights into ligand–receptor interactions. Moreover, several studies have demonstrated that the structural models are indeed suitable for virtual screening of compound databases to identify new ligands for various GPCRs. Recent examples of such virtual screening against GPCRs are discussed in this review.     

FOLFOX4与替加氟替代方案对晚期胃癌疗效的对比研究

目的:对比观察FOLFOX4方案与替加氟替代方案治疗晚期胃癌的疗效和不良反应.方法:经病理或细胞学确诊的晚期胃癌患者75例,按收治的时间顺序交叉分入FOLFOX4组(A组)或替加氟替代组(B组),两方案均至少连用3周期评价疗效.A组:OXA 85mg/m2,静滴2h,第1天;LV 200mg/m2,静滴2h,第1、2天;5-FU 400mg/m2,静推,然后600mg/m2,22h静脉维持,第1、2天;2周重复,14天为1个周期.B组:OXA 130mg/m2,静滴2h,第1天;LV 200mg/m2,静滴2h,第1-5天;FT-207 800mg/m2,静滴3h,第1-5天;3周重复,21天为1个周期.结果:研究对象共75例.A组39例,总有效率(CR + PR)41.0%,其中初治患者总有效率55.6%;复治患者的总有效率28.6%.B组36例, 总有效率38.9%,其中初治患者总有效率 50.0%;复治患者的总有效率30.0%.两组总有效率比较均无统计学差异.不良反应主要是白细胞减少、恶心呕吐、神经感觉毒性等,A组白细胞下降发生率和消化系统不良反应发生率均明显高于B组(P均＜0.05).两组均无化疗相关死亡.结论:FOLFOX4方案与替加氟替代方案均为治疗晚期胃癌有效的方案,FOLFOX4方案总有效率稍高,不良反应较替加氟替代方案重,但可耐受.建议晚期胃癌初治可选用FOLFOX4方案,而其中年龄偏大,体质欠佳的患者宜选替加氟替代方案.     

耐多药结核病的判定和处理对策

当前,结核病疫情在全球范围出现回升的局面,其中耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)的流行尤其引人关注,1977年WHO/IUATLD在35个国家进行耐药检测,1/3国家原发耐多药结核病在2%以上,获得性耐药为13%.2000年根据64个国家耐药检测和72个国家预测资料MDR-TB新病例已达27.3万例.据WHO估计20亿感染者中,约有5000万人感染耐药菌株,其中2/3的结核病人有发生MDR-TB的危险[1].2006年WHO估算MDR-TB患者全球总数已达100万.每年还在以30万至60万的速度递增.     

Pharmacology of the internal anal sphincter and its relevance to faecal incontinence

1 The internal anal sphincter (IAS) has a spontaneous tone and is the main contributor to the maintenance of faecal continence. The spontaneous resting tone exhibited by the sphincter can be modified by neurotransmitters from the autonomic and enteric nervous systems. 2 In this review, the influence of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems on IAS tone are discussed and the putative roles of nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and adenosine triphosphate in non‐adrenergic non‐cholinergic transmission are considered. 3 Faecal incontinence is a common condition that places a heavy financial burden on the health service and severely affects patients’ quality of life. Resting anal pressure is reduced in patients with faecal incontinence and agents that increase sphincter tone tend to relieve symptoms. The results of clinical studies of the use of phenylephrine to treat faecal incontinence are reviewed. 4 It is concluded that the IAS is a potential target for drug development for the treatment of faecal incontinence.     

Pharynx and oesophagus evaluation during the swallow using helical computerized tomography.

PURPOSE: Videofluorography (VF) and endoscopy are commonly used for dynamic imaging (DI) of pharyngeal swallowing but do not offer transverse plane (TP) information. The aim of the present study was to evaluate helical computerized tomography (HCT) to measure the DI capability pharyngeal swallowing in the TP. METHODS: The HCT scan technique used was a single-slice cine mode with scan times of 100 ms. All 15 subjects were studied supine during dry swallow, swallowing of barium sulphate jelly and 3, 10, 15 or 20 ml of a 40% barium sulphate solution. Nine subjects repeated the test twice at more than 1 week's interval to determine the test-retest reliability. RESULTS: Swallowing leads to closure of the vocal folds, pharyngeal constriction and narrowing of the piriform sinuses allowing jelly passage between the sinuses. Laryngeal elevation then occurs with the opening of the pharyngoesophageal segment (PES). Swallowing a bolus of 20 ml produced the maximum anteroposterior and transverse diameters as well as the maximum opening area of the PES. The test-retest intraclass correlation coefficients with liquid deglutition ranged from 0.86 to 0.98. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that HCT enables visualization of TP of PES complementing VF or endoscopic swallowing studies.
