ASIA脊髓损伤分类标准在颈髓损伤患者神经功能评定中的应用

目的:探讨ASIA标准在颈髓损伤患者神经功能评估中的意义.方法:应用ASIA标准对139例急性颈髓损伤患者的神经功能情况进行回顾性评估.结果:82例完全性脊髓损伤患者中5例逆转为不完全性损伤,77例无逆转者随访时ASIA感觉、运动评分有明显增加.57例不完全性颈髓损伤患者感觉、运动功能改善明显优于完全性损伤患者.结论:完全性颈髓损伤患者可能逆转为不完全性颈髓损伤,并且可有明显节段性神经功能恢复.在脊髓损伤神经功能评定中,ASIA感觉、运动评分具有重要意义.

hTere are notable differences in the incidence and mortality rates for prostate cancer between Asia and Western countries. It is also recognized that there are differences in thinking with regard to treatment options. Recently it is also the case that opinions have been reported concerning the differences between Asian and Western patients with regard to their reaction to androgen depletion therapy (ADT). Given that ADT is a method of treatment that focuses on the elimination of testosterone, an inevitable symptom of its administration is testosterone losing syndrome. It is for this reason that in Western countries ADT has only been recommended in cases of advanced or metastatic cancer. On the other hand, in Asia, ADT is used in relatively many cases, including non-metastatic localized cancer and invasive localized cancer. To date, however, there has been little substantive discussion concerning this difference in utilization of ADT. ADT-related drugs for prostate cancer and the development of new drugs for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) have been actively tested in recent years. It could be the case that analyzing the differences in concepts about ADT between Asia and the West could contribute to the effective use of ADT-related drugs and also help to build new treatment strategies for prostate cancer.

外伤性脊髓损伤综合康复治疗80例疗效评价

目的:探讨对外伤性脊髓损伤患者进行综合康复治疗的临床治疗效果,并且对相关因素进行分析.方法:选取2005年3月-2011年12月我院接收的80例外伤性脊髓损伤患者,对其进行综合康复治疗,在治疗前后用 ASIA标准评分、Bathel 指数以及FIM 量表对患者康复情况进行分析评价.结果:进行综合康复治疗后,外伤性脊髓损伤患者ASIA运动评分以及Barthel指数均有不同程度的改善.所有脊髓损伤患者治疗后Barthel指数以及FIM评分均明显升高,差异具有有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论:采用综合康复治疗外伤性脊髓损伤,治疗效果显著,有助于促进患者的运动功能的恢复,明显改善了患者的生活自理能力,增加了病人进行进一步治疗的信心,减轻抑郁对患者的运动功能恢复所造成的影响.

Hypertension among three groups of immigrants from Asia

Objective:To examine the level and variation of hypertension as a major health indicator among immigrant groups from Asia.Methods:Utilizing data from National Health Interview Survey in the United States,the multivariate analysis focused on with a heterogeneous background regarding culture,spoken language,religion,and diet.Results:The results indicated that Asian immigrants overall have lower rate of hypertension as compared to the majority non-Hispanic white population of the United States.However,there is strong within group variation that persists after controlling for such factors as education,income and demographic variables.Conclusion:These results suggest the need for further studies particularly with respect to the immigrants from the sub-continent of India.
