探讨长期有氧运动对老年2型糖尿病患者的降糖效果

目的针对老年糖尿病患者,年龄大、慢性并发症多、不适合大强度运动的特点,观察长期适度的、规律的有氧运动对老年糖尿病患者血糖的影响。方法选择106例老年2型糖尿病患者,随机分为运动组和非运动组进行对比,观察运动前后体重指数（BMI）、空腹血糖、餐后2小时血糖、糖化血红蛋白的变化,并与未进行有氧运动治疗的53例患者对照比较。结果 40周后运动组的体重指数、空腹血糖、餐后2小时血糖、糖化血红蛋白均明显降低,而非运动组各项指标均无明显差异。结论长期规律的、适度的有氧运动,能明显降低老年2型糖尿病患者的体重指数、空腹血糖、餐后2小时血糖、糖化血红蛋白。因此,对于老年2型糖尿病患者来说,长期规律的、适度的有氧运动与长期的药物治疗有等同的意义。     

氯沙坦对原发性高血压合并高尿酸血症患者血压及血尿酸水平的影响

目的评价氯沙坦治疗原发性高血压合并高尿酸血症患者的临床疗效。方法随机选择原发性高血压合并高尿酸血症患者66例,随机分为治疗组和对照组,每组33例。治疗组给予氯沙坦,50～100mg/d,疗程4周;对照组给予苯那普利10～20mg/d,疗程为4周。两组患者均于治疗前、治疗后1、4、8周测量血压和血尿酸浓度（血尿酸酶中和法）。治疗1个疗程后评价临床疗效。结果两组患者治疗前血压无显著差异,治疗后均有下降趋势,两组患者治疗后8周时SBP、DBP水平均较治疗前明显降低（P〈0.05或P〈0.01）。两组治疗后血尿酸水平均有不同程度的下降,治疗组较对照组下降的更加明显（P〈0.01）。结论氯沙坦可降低原发性高血压合并高尿酸血症患者的血尿酸水平。     

Intercountry Kinship Adoptions: limits to The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Intercountry Adoption

There is an established international tradition of empirical research in anthropology and sociology on organ donation and transplantation. However, little empirical research on this topic has been done in New Zealand. This article contributes New Zealand data to the literature, drawing on qualitative research investigating the experiences of 78 Pākehā and Māori and their perceptions of bio-identity in the course of tissue exchange. In line with international studies our findings indicate the language used to promote organ donation as a disinterested, non-reciprocal and unconditional act does not always reflect the experiences of those involved in organ transfer procedures. At the same time, transplant recipients often speak of compelling obligations to reciprocate the ‘gift of life’. While these are common features of organ transfer generally, we suggest the psychosocial wellbeing of donors, families, recipients, and whānau rests on careful attention to the cultural specificities of this experience.     

Orgasm and the West. A history of pleasure from the sixteenth century to the present

ABSTRACT

This study analyses the experiences of exiles within international rugby union in Britain. The emphasis is on challenging existing sociological assumptions surrounding national identity and sports labour migration. Eight international rugby exiles were invited to take part in semi-structured interviews and several themes emerged. The major findings from the study demonstrate that exiles are subject to an array of cultural attachments and personal experiences which shape their national identities. As migrants, their repositioning in relation to the nation is increasingly deemed to be the norm in rugby union. However, additional influences were also shown to persist to varying degrees.     

Willingness to Participate in Organ Donation Among Black Seventh-Day Adventist College Students

Objective and Participants: The authors studied a group of black and white Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) college students (N = 334) to compare the power of religious socialization with racial socialization. Methods: The authors compared the levels of willingness to donate organs between black and nonblack students in an availability sample. Results: Black SDA college students were significantly more likely than white SDA students or SDA students of other races to perceive racism in the healthcare system and to believe that doctors would not make heroic efforts to save their lives if they knew they were organ donors; they were 66.9% less likely to donate organs than were white SDA students or SDA students of other races. Conclusions: Despite a common religion with a purposive indoctrination, the racial socialization of black SDA students exerted a stronger influence on willingness to participate in organ donation than did that of white students and students of other races within this religion.     

Diagnostic significance of free salivary testosterone measurement using a direct luminescence immunoassay in healthy men and in patients with disorders of androgenic status

The accurate measurement of testosterone remains a challenge. The determination of the blood testosterone concentrations in serum by conventional immunoassays is inaccurate in men and even more so in females and children. A new luminescence enzyme immunoassay (LIA) has been developed and validated. The high analytical (8.7 pmol/L) and functional (17.3 pmol/L) sensitivity allows the quantification of the very low concentration in saliva, as well as in serum, after 1/40 dilution. This study measured salivary testosterone levels and compared the results with the free levels calculated from total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin in eugonadal and hypogonadal men. Salivary testosterone concentrations in healthy men in morning hours were 369 pmol/L (mean), range 263–544 pmol/L, which was statistically significantly higher than that in men with androgen deficiency, 215 pmol/L (mean), range 51–249 pmol/L.

Repetitive determination of free testosterone concentrations in saliva (once a week for 5 weeks) showed high stability of results over time, with coefficient of variation 9% (range 5–23%).

In this study we showed that free salivary testosterone levels in morning samples correlated well with calculated free testosterone in blood, both in healthy men (R = 0.754, P = 0.001), and in patients with androgen deficiency (R = 0.889, P = 0.0001), though in cases with very low testosterone, salivary concentrations were systematically higher than calculated free testosterone levels in blood.

仙人掌多糖对小鼠非特异性免疫的影响

以环磷酰胺(Cy)诱导小鼠免疫抑制模型,采用巨噬细胞吞噬鸡红细胞试验、血液学指标检测、补体旁路途径溶血活性测定,观察仙人掌多糖(OPS)对免疫抑制小鼠非特异性免疫的影响.结果表明OPS灌胃(ig.)给药明显增加Cy诱导的免疫抑制小鼠巨噬细胞的吞噬率;中、高剂量的OPS明显对抗Cy诱导的免疫抑制小鼠白细胞的减少,减缓免疫抑制小鼠红细胞数量病理性增加,减少血小板的数量;提高免疫抑制小鼠补体旁路活化途径的溶血活性.说明OPS具有增强免疫抑制小鼠非特异性免疫功能的作用.
