ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To analyze and compare the congruity between Maria and DDW-J standard and Roussel uclaf causali-ty assessment method(RUCAM)for diagnosing drug-induced liver injury(DILI),and evaluate its application. METHODS:In ret-rospective analysis,the clinical data of 122 patients with DILI with RUCAM ≥3 scores was quantitatively scored by Maria and DDW-J standard,χ2 test was conducted for statistical analysis. RESULTS:Among the 122 cases,120 cases(98.4%)were classi-fied as“likely and possible”by DDW-J standard,which was significantly higher than the 58 cases(47.5%)that classified as“pos-sible”by Maria standard,with statistical significance;and compared with Maria standard,DDW-J standard was more closer to RU-CAM scoring results. CONCLUSIONS:DDW-J standard is superior to Maria standard,and close to RUCAM scoring results for DI-LI;RUCAM is still the DILI diagnostic evaluation system with high accuracy and operability.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: estudio transversal de prevalencia, realizado en el área norte de la ciudad de Sancti Spíritus en el período de enero de 2006 a diciembre de 2009. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico según los criterios de la Asociación Latinoamericana de Diabetes. Métodos: el universo de estudio fue la población de 16 años o más de edad de 20 consultorios escogidos al azar, los cuales representaron el 40 por ciento del total del área norte. La muestra estimada fue de 913 personas, y se logró encuestar y evaluar a 1 019 personas. El 93,62 por ciento de estas personas residían en el área urbana. La selección de las casas fue a través de una tabla de números aleatorios. Resultados: la prevalencia global del síndrome metabólico fue de 39, 8 por ciento (IC-95 por ciento; 36,8-42,8 por ciento). No hubo diferencias significativas con respecto al género (masculino: 40 por ciento [IC-95 por ciento; 35,4-44,6 por ciento], femenino: 39,8 por ciento [IC-95 por ciento; 35,8-43,7 por ciento]). El síndrome metabólico se incrementó significativamente con la edad de la persona (³ 50 años de edad), con el índice de masa corporal (³ 25 kg/m²), con la procedencia urbana de las personas y con el deterioro del metabolismo de la glucosa. Conclusiones: la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico en la población estudiada fue alta(AU)
Introduction: a cross-sectional on prevalence was conducted in the north area of the Sancti Spiritus city from January, 2006 to December, 2009. Objective: to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome according the criteria of the Latin-American of Diabetes. Methods: the study universe included persons aged 16 or more from 20 randomized consulting rooms, which accounted for the 40 percent of north area total. The averaged sample was of 913 persons where 1 019 were polled and assessed. The 93,62 percent were residents of urban area. Home selection was made through a randomized number table. Results: global prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased significantly with age of the person (³ 50 years old) with a body mass index (³ 25 kg/m²) with the urban origin persons and with the glucose metabolism deterioration. Conclusions: prevalence of metabolic in study population is high(AU)

The clinical and laboratory findings of 2197 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) were reviewed and analyzed to reveal the abnormal incidence of each item and their value and specificify for the diagosis of the disease,Accor- ding to the realistic conditions of our country and the experience of many authors, a new set of diagnostic criteria for SLE was established and systematized into a computer program.Tested with 223 non-SLE cases and 92 confirmed SLE cases,this new set of diagnostic criteria had the rates of specificity and sensivity of 91.9％ and 95.7％ respectively.It is considered that the new set of diagnostic criteria is characterized by its comparatively comprehensive content and its conformity to the conditions at home,and if is especially helpful for the early diagnosis of SLE.
ABSTRACT
There have been few reports of acute leukemia predenting with a hypocellular bone marrow. Our institution, from 1977 to 1986, reviewed 9 cases of hypoplasfic acute leukemia (HAL). We concluded that HAL was similar to as well as different from dysmyclopoietic syndrom (MDS), smouldering acute leukemia(SAL) and oligoblastic leukemia(OBL). It was suggested that the diagnostic crieria of HAL were (1), The patients of no treatment had local hypocellularity of bone marrow, and had more than 30% blasts and promyelocytes of immaturocytes on bone marrow aspirate smears; (2), The patients had hypocellularity at presentation on trephine biopsy. We proposed that the names of SAL and OBC be called off.
