1.Strain and Suicide:an Analysis of 155 Suicide Cases
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2009;23(11):784-789
Objective:To explore the strain experiences by suicides and to test the strain theory of suicide.Methods:A consecutive sample of 155 suicides(91 males and 64 females)aged from 15 to 34 years was studied with the psychological autopsy method.Informants consisted of family members and close friends of the suicides.Suicide stories were composed based on the background information of the suicides and what happened at the suicide site and then content-analyzed and rated by independent judges.Results:All of the victims had experienced at least one type of strain before suicide took place.The sequence of the 4 types of strains beginning with the most frequent one was coping strain,100%;aspiration strain,81%,deprivation strain,72% and value strain,45%.Generally,males experienced more coping strains,especially loss of money or investment than females [(8.85±3.64)vs.(7.72±3.77),(0.35±0.92)vs.(0.09±0.52);Ps<0.05],except for the traditionalism and modernity for status of women,religion and atheism [(0.08±0.37)vs.(0.53±0.97),(0.00±0.00)vs.(0.06±0.30);Ps<0.05].As age increased,value strain tended to increase(r= 0.16,P=0.048),whereas aspiration strain tended to decrease(r= -0.30,P<0.001).Conclusion:With the prevalence of dissonant stresses among suicide victims,it is suggested that crisis intervention and suicide prevention should begin with strain reduction through psychological counseling and therapy.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2010;33(24):6-8
Objective To compare the clinical effect of ultrasound and nerve stimulator guidance for interscalene brachial plexus block. Methods Sixty patients scheduled for upper extremity surgery were randomly allocated into two groups to receive either nerve stimulator guidance (group N,30 cases) or ultrasound guidance (group U, 30 cases) for interscalene brachial plexus block. The time for completing the procedure, the onset time of sensory block and motor block, as well as success rate of the procedure were recorded. The requirement for fentanyl during surgery, pain related with procedure and incidence of other complications were also recorded. Results The success rate of the procedure was 100% in both groups.Longer time was needed for completing procedure in group U [(16±7)min] than that in group N [(11±5)min](P<0.05). The onset time of sensory block was significantly shorter in group U [(13±9)min] than that in group N [(18±7)min] (P < 0.05 ), while the onset time of motor block was similar between the two groups. Twelve patients in group N and 5 patients in group U complained pain related with procedure, which were significantly different (P<0.01 ). Conclusion Interscalene brachial plexus block with ultrasound guidance has similar clinical effect and success rate compare with nerve stimulator guidance.

BACKGROUND: During conventional treatment for bone tuberculosis, there is a low effective concentration of anti-tuberculosis drugs, and the therapeutic effect is poor. OBJECTIVE:To develop a new biomaterial as a slow-release artificial carrier that can be directly implanted into the surrounding tissue of bone tuberculosis, maintain a certain anti-tuberculosis drug concentration for a long time, thereby playing an effective therapeutic action. METHODS:Rifampicin/polylactic acid/glycolic acid microspheres and isoniazid/polylactic acid/glycolic acid microspheres were prepared using the emulsion-solvent evaporation method. Usingα-cyanoacrylate, a biological adhesive, two kinds of microspheres were processed into a long-term slow-release bicomponent drug carrier. Then, in vitro release characteristics of the dual-drug sustained-release carrier were observed. After that, the dual-drug sustained-release carrier was implanted into rabbit intertrochanteric femur bone defects for observing drug release concentrations, histocompatibility and bone defect healing at different time points after drug delivery carrier implantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For rifampicin/polylactic acid/glycolic acid microspheres, the mean particle size was (240±13)μm, and the drug loading load rate was (26±1.5)%. For isoniazid/polylactic acid/glycolic acid microspheres, the mean particle size was (250±10)μm, and drug loading rate was (28±1.8)%. The in vitro cumulative release rate could reach 80%for rifampicin and 90%for isoniazid at day 90. The in vivo released concentration of rifampicin and isoniazid within 90 days was (0.5±0.4) and (0.6±0.3)μg/g, respectively. There were a smal amount of infiltrated neutrophils between the fascia and muscle fibers after the drug delivery carrier was implanted, and the amount of neutrophils in the muscle were reduced significantly at day 59. X-ray plain film showed that bone defects decreased obviously in size. These findings indicate that this dual-drug sustained-release carrier can maintain a certain anti-tuberculosis drug concentration in the surrounding tissues of bone tuberculosis, which is expected to provide a new type of dual-drug delivery carrier in the surgical treatment of bone tuberculosis.
