2型糖尿病合并原发性高血压证型分析

目的 观察2型糖尿病合并原发性高血压患者的中医证候分布和演变规律。方法 共收集318例2型糖尿病合并原发性高血压患者的病历资料,对患者的证型进行分析,并按病程分层对证候演变规律进行分析。结果 318例患者中,单纯虚证68例,占21.4%;单纯实证27例,占8.5%;虚实夹杂证223例,占70.1%。病程0～2年者可见以痰(湿)热互结为主的实证,病程2年以上者气阴两虚证最为多见,病程10年以上者多见脾肾阳虚证、阴阳两虚证。随着病程延长,血瘀证逐渐增多。结论 随着病程进展,2型糖尿病合并高血压的证型由热盛津伤、痰热互结逐渐向肝肾阴虚、气阴两虚、脾肾阳虚、阴阳两虚证转化,血瘀证、痰浊证是贯穿于整个病程的常见兼夹证。     

Fatal capnocytophaga infection associated with splenectomy

A case of fatal sepsis due to Capnocytophaga species is described. Capnatophaga canimorsus and C. cynodegmi can cause localized wound infections and/or systemic infections in people who have been bitten, licked, scratched, or merely exposed to cats or dogs, especially splenectomized individuals. A thorough social, medical, and surgical history, the clinical presentation, and cultures are important in making the diagnosis of Capnocytophaga infections. It is important that the forensic pathologist be aware of this zoonotic disease.     

故意传播严重性病行为定性之探究——兼论现行《刑法》第360条第1款的立法完善

从实然的角度来看,现行<刑法>第360条第1款的"严重性病"的范围应包括艾滋病;对于不具有卖淫、嫖娼性质以外的性行为或其他方式传播性病的行为应在现行法律框架下适用相关条款予以定罪量刑.从应然的角度出发,有必要对现行<刑法>第360条第1款予以完善,以为惩治司法实践中发生的形形色色的故意传播严重性病行为提供法律依据,进而促进司法的统一和公正.     

Mothers on Trial: Discourses of Cot Death and Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy

This article explores some of the issues raised by Munchausens Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP) and the relationship between medicine and law, specifically the discourses which feature in the courtroom portraying motherhood and expectations of parenting. These discourses are often hidden yet play a determining role in prosecutions for alleged maltreatment of children involving medically unexplained infant death syndrome. We offer a critique of MSbP and seek to unveil the assumptions about mothers, the parent predominantly affected by the diagnosis, and mothering that underlie the association of women accused of deliberating harming their children. We suggest such insights are valuable because although the syndrome has never acquired a clear medical or legal definition, it has had repeated appearances in the literature and courtroom over the last 25 years and has more recently attracted attention from government, health care practitioners, academics and the media. We explore these issues through an examination of two recent Court of Appeal decisions in England: those of Sally Clark and Angela Cannings.     

美国刑法中受虐妇女与自身防卫问题之研究

自身防卫就是自然人在遇到不法侵害时,有权运用适度的暴力加以防范,但在司法实践的具体操作中仍然很复杂。受虐妇女与自身防卫是美国刑法中颇受重视的一个问题。鉴于受虐妇女的特殊性,美国法庭对“合理性的标准”与“紧迫性的要求”做出了适当的调整。     

原发性高血压早期肾损害中医证候学观察

目的:观察原发性高血压早期肾损害的中医证候学特点和规律。方法:对120例原发性高血压早期肾损害患者进行中医证候学分析,并以60例无肾损害的原发性高血压患者作为对照,统计分析不同中医证候积分。结果:原发性高血压早期肾损害患者以肝、肾证候及阴虚、气虚、血瘀证候积分最高,明显高于无肾损害的原发性高血压患者(P<0.01)。结论:原发性高血压早期肾损害的主要病机为肝肾阴虚兼气虚血瘀。     

Intravenous Drug Use and HIV in Estonia: Socio-Economic Integration and Development of Indicators Regarding the Right to Health for its Russian-Speaking Population

This article seeks to highlight some potential indicators and benchmarks for the right to health under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, ratified by Estonia. These potential key indicators, as part of a human rights based approach to health indicators being developed by the UN Special Rapporteur, are argued to be particularly important in the context of the exceptionally high HIV rates among the Russian speaking population in Estonia. The historical emergence of the HIV epidemic in Estonia is traced, comparing its development with the situations in Latvia and Lithuania. This article describes the current extent of the HIV epidemic in Estonia which is the country with the highest reported number of HIV infections per capita in Europe, a number impacting in an extremely disproportionate fashion on its Russian-speaking population, particularly in North-Eastern Estonia. Understanding of the HIV epidemic in Estonia cannot exclude the social contextual factors of the social marginalization of many among the Russian-speaking population, the ‹alien’ status of those without citizenship of Estonia or any other State, and other failures of Estonian State policy with regard to intravenous drug use and HIV in the recent past. HIV among the prison population is also examined as disproportionately impacting upon Russian-speaking prisoners. It is argued that the language and logic of the Estonian State Integration Programme, as well as Estonia’s Second Report on the implementation of the Council of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (2004) which refer to its Russian-speaking citizens as ‹non-Estonians’ is discrimination based on ethnic origin. In order to develop a system of State accountability in relation to the right to health, candidate indicators and benchmarks are proposed as structural, process and outcome indicators relevant to Estonia regarding the right to health and HIV, intravenous drug use, socio-economic integration and its Russian-speaking population.

血瘀证患者血管内皮内分泌功能的观察

为探讨血管内皮细胞的分泌功能在血瘀证发病机理中的作用，对２０例血瘀证患者体内一氧化氮及内皮素水平进行检测，并与健康对照组比较。结果显示患者ＮＯ及ＮＯ／ＥＴ比值均明显减低，提示血管内皮细胞内分泌功能异常可能是血瘀证发病的病理基础之一。
