设立国家综合配套改革试验区推进海峡西岸经济区建设——厦门设立国家综合配套改革试验区的可行性研究

厦门市是我国最早的四个经济特区之一.经过二三十年的建设,厦门特区的经济社会全面发展,人民生活蒸蒸日上;同时也发挥了排头兵的作用,为全国的改革开放进行了先行的探索.然而,随着改革开放的深入以及原有特区政策的普适化,特区发展面临巨大的竞争压力,体制创新任重道远,迫切需要注入新的活力,形成新的发展思路和战略.争取成为国家综合配套改革试验区,无疑是厦门乃至整个海峡西岸经济区未来发展的一次难得机会.因此,厦门必须把握自身优势,发挥特区发展的先行优势和特色,把建立国家综合配套改革试验区作为一项重大的发展战略来看待.

Effects of oral testosterone undecanoate therapy on bone mineral density and body composition in 322 aging men with symptomatic testosterone deficiency: a 1-year,randomized, placebo-controlled,dose-ranging study

Abstract

Objective: We investigated the effects of oral testosterone undecanoate (TU) on bone mineral density (BMD), lean body mass (LBM) and body fat mass (BFM) in aging men with symptomatic testosterone deficiency (TD).

Methods: Three hundred twenty-two men ≥50 years with TD symptoms and calculated free testosterone <0.26?nmol/L participated in a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomized to placebo, oral TU 80?mg/d, oral TU 160?mg/d, or oral TU 240?mg/d, administered as divided doses with normal meals. BMD of the hip and lumbar spine were evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and body composition (LBM and BFM) by whole body DEXA.

Results: Oral TU significantly increased BMD at Month 12 at the lumbar spine (240?mg/d), total hip (240?mg/d), and trochanter and intertrochanter (160 and 240?mg/d) compared with placebo. Oral TU significantly increased LBM at Months 6 and 12 for all oral TU groups compared with placebo. BFM significantly decreased at Month 6 (all oral TU groups) and Month 12 (160?mg/d) compared with placebo. The effects on BMD and body composition showed a clear dose response.

Conclusions: Treatment with oral TU led to improvement in BMD, LBM and BFM in aging men with symptomatic TD.

Using research questionnaires with young people in schools: the influence of the social context

Whilst there is an extensive literature on the use of self-completion questionnaires as a research tool, very little attention has been paid to the influence of the social context in determining the ways in which questionnaires are used in practice. This paper describes our experiences of working with 27 English, mixed sex, state schools to carry out a questionnaire survey with 4754 students aged 13–14 years. The survey was part of a randomized controlled trial of peer led sex education. Using data from the questionnaires and from researcher fieldnotes, we highlight ways in which aspects of the social context affected the administration of the questionnaire, students' participation in the survey and the quality of the data collected.

Increased prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED): Results of the second epidemiological study on sexual activity and prevalence of ED in Thai males

Objective.?The aim of this study is to investigate changes in sexual activity and the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in Thai males. In addition, the treatment-seeking behaviour of Thai patients suffering from ED is also investigated.

Materials and methods.?In a cross sectional study using a standardized questionnaire with a multi-stage stratified random sampling, 2,269 men aged 40–70 were interviewed. The questionnaire was designed to investigate the effects of socioeconomic factors, medical conditions and unhealthy lifestyles on the development of ED. Furthermore, the questionnaire was designed to characterize the treatment-seeking behaviour of Thai patients suffering from ED.

Results.?Compared to the first report dated the year 2000, the prevalence of ED has increased from 37.5% to 42.18%. In terms of socioeconomic factors, the highest prevalence of ED was observed among unemployed men (78.51%). Prostatism and/or prostatitis (Odd ratios (OR) = 2.02) and long histories of smoking (more than 30 years, OR = 2.36) were identified as statistically significant risk factors for ED, with p-values of <0.001. It is important to notice that 38.78% of the ED patients wanted to discuss their problem with spouses or partners. Three quarters of the ED patients (74.54%) preferred oral medication as therapy.

Conclusions.?The epidemiology of ED in Thailand is changing. An increased prevalence of ED does require further epidemiological studies on a regular basis in order to better understand the etiology of ED and look for measures (such as education) to counter the disease.
