达肝素与普通肝素对危重症患者静脉血栓栓塞的预防作用比较

静脉血栓栓塞是危重症思看的重妥开发症,危重症患有是静脉血栓栓塞的高危人群.目前尚不肯定在危重症患者中应用低分子肝素比普通肝素具有优势.加拿大危重症试验组和新西兰危重症学会临床试验组进行的危重症患者血栓栓塞预防试验(The PROTECT Investigators for the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group and the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Clinical Trials Group,C00k D,Meade M,et al.Dalteparin versus unfraetionated heparin in critically ill patients.N Engl J Med,2011,364:1305-1314.),对达肝素(Dalteparin)和普通肝素的作用进行了比较.

医疗人员对居住在新西兰克赖斯特彻奇的中国人的精神卫生服务状况的观点

背景：移民会给人带来压力，也有可能会提高在海外居住的中国人的精神疾病患病率。文化习俗和服务的缺乏也许会阻碍他们寻求所需的精神卫生服务。
　　目的：评估新西兰的医疗人员关于来自中国大陆的移民对精神卫生服务的使用状况的观点。
　　方法：本定性研究在新西兰克赖斯特彻奇完成。研究者深入访谈了9名有服务中国客户经验的精神卫生专业人员，并把访谈内容进行笔录以及主题分析。
　　结果：访谈内容中出现了四个主题：(1)中国移民的特殊心理问题；(2)移民中容易出现心理问题的人群；(3)妨碍获得服务的因素；(4)社会支持网络对中国移民的心理健康的重要性。
　　结论：通过对高收入国家中为日益增长的中国大陆移民提供心理健康服务的医疗人员的定性研究，可以找出需要提高对文化的敏感度的地方，以此来增加中国移民对精神卫生服务的利用，提高服务的效率。

AIM: To investigate the relationship between cytokine level and nitric oxide (NO) content in aqueous humor after intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: All New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into three groups: (1) control group, (2) extracapsular cataract extraction group (ECCE), (3) extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation group (ECCE+IOL). The inflammation of all experimental rabbit eyes, including cornea edema and anterior chamber exudation were observed via zoom-photo slitlamp microscope 1,3,7,14,30 d postoperation. Meanwhile, aqueous humor was drawn for white blood cell (WBC) counting and classifying, and for NO-2／NO-3 and cytokine assay, including interleukin-2(IL-2), tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Statistics were taken by SPSS softwear. RESULTS: (1) Total WBC in aqueous humor were higher and anterior chamber exudation were more severe in ECCE+IOL group than that in ECCE group and control group. (2) The level of IL-2 and TNF-α and the content of NO-2／NO-3 in aqueous humor of ECCE+IOL group were higher than that in ECCE group and control group 1-14 d postoperation respectively, and it increased to peak value at 3-7 d postoperation and decreased gradually after two weeks postoperation. (3) The change regularity of IL-2, TNF-α and NO-2／NO-3 in each group were basically similar, i.e. when the level of cytokine (IL-2 and TNF-α) was normal, the content of NO-2／NO-3 was normal too, when the level of cytokine (IL-2 and TNF-α) increased, the content of NO-2／NO-3 increased too. CONCLUSION: The intraocular inflammation after ECCE+IOL was more severe than that after simple ECCE. NO, IL-2 and TNF-α play an important role in intraocular inflammation after intraocular lens implantation. The changes of IL-2 and TNF-α level was closely related with NO content in aqueous humor.
