Factores geográficos que influyeron en la concentración del hurto de motocicletas en diez estaciones policiales del Valle del Cauca, entre el 2010 y el 2015 / Geographical factors influencing the concentration of motorcycle theft episodes at ten police stations in the Department of Valle del Cauca between years 2010 and 2015 / Fatores geográficos que influenciaram a concentração do roubo de motocicletas em dez delegacias de Valle del Cauca, entre 2010 e 2015

Resumen El estudio del delito ha incorporado el análisis espacial como una causa relevante, y en este caso ayudó a determinar cómo los factores geográficos influyeron en la concentración del hurto de motocicletas en el Valle del Cauca. Para lograr este objetivo se adoptó una metodología mixta, que trianguló las técnicas de la econometría espacial con el grupo focal. El primero examinó 25 variables agrupadas en cinco ejes temáticos, que a través del uso de datos en panel y métodos estadísticos para selección de variables, se construyó el modelo de Mínimos Cuadrados con Variables Dummy (LSDV, por su sigla en inglés), para estimar relaciones de causación de siete variables representativas, con el hurto de motocicletas; la segunda se aplicó a dos grupos de trabajo realizados en Cali y Popayán, y se logró establecer el sistema criminal e identificar el destino y uso final de los rodantes. Los resultados mostraron que el delito tiene un comportamiento regional que involucra a este departamento y Cauca, su distribución no es aleatoria en el espacio, sino que depende de la vecindad de los municipios y la malla vial que los conecta, lo cual evidencia que las estrategias implementadas para contrarrestarlo no detectaron la expansión y adaptación del fenómeno a dicho contexto.

Abstract The study of crime has incorporated special analysis as a relevant cause and, in this case, it helped determine how geographical factors had an influence in the concentration of motorcycles theft in the Colombian Department of Valle del Cauca. To meet this target, a mixed methodology having triangulated special econometrics techniques with the focal group was adopted. The first one examined 25 variables grouped into five thematic subjects that, through the use of panel data and statistical methods for the selection of variables, the Least Square Dummy Variables (LSDV) to estimate causation relations of seven representative variables with the motorcycle theft; the second one was applied to two work groups held in Cali and Popayan, and it was possible to establish the criminal system and identify the destination and final use given to the vehicles. The results showed that the behavior of crime here is of a regional nature involving this Department and Cauca; the distribution is non-random but dependent on the vicinity of the municipalities and the connecting highway network. This evidences that the strategies implemented to counteract them did not manage to detect the phenomenon expansion and adaptation to that context.

Resumo O estudo do crime incorporou a análise espacial como uma das principais causas, e, neste caso, ajudou a determinar como os factores geográficos influiram a concentração de roubo de motocicletas em Valle del Cauca. Para atingir este objetivo, uma metodologia mista foi adotada, metodología que triangulou as técnicas da econometria espacial com o grupo focal. O primeiro examinou 25 variáveis agrupadas em cinco temas que, através da utilização de dados em painel e de métodos estatísticos para a selecção de variáveis, o modelo de Mínimos Quadrados com Variáveis Dummy foi construído (LSDV, por sua sigla em Inglês), para estimar relações de causalidade de sete variáveis representativas, com o roubo de motocicletas; a segunda foi aplicada a dois grupos de trabalho realizados em Cali e Popayan, e conseguiu estabelecer o sistema penal e identificar o destino e uso final das motos. Os resultados mostraram que o crime tem um comportamento regional, envolvendo este departamento e Cauca, a sua distribuição não é aleatória no espaço, mas depende da proximidade das cidades e da rede de estradas que os conecta, o que mostra que as estratégias implementadas para combatê-lo não detectaram a expansãoe adaptação do fenômeno a esse contexto.

Clinical characteristics analysis of lumbar disc herniation with symptom aggravated caused by spinal manipulative therapy / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the characteristics of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with symptom aggravated caused by spinal manipulative therapy (SMT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Detailed clinical profiles of a total number of 10 LDH patients with symptoms aggravated after SMT were reviewed including 5 males and 5 females with age from 46 to 68 years old, 7 patients of them were more than 50 years old. The clinical data of 10 patients were analyzed involving age, gender, clinical symptoms, signs, imaging findings, surgical treatment and prognosis. Laminectomy and discectomy were performed, and follow-up was carried out in all patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The duration of symptoms in all the patients before SMT was 4 to 15 years. After the therapy, an acute exacerbation of back and radicular pain was observed within 24 hours. MRI showed intervertebral disc herniation, 7 patients were observed in L4-L5. The time internal between the exacerbation of presentation and surgery was 23.1 days. No perioperative complications occurred. All the patients were relieved of radicular pain a few days after surgery. During postoperative follow-up, all patients regained the ability to walk; Eight patients reported a complete resolution of presentation and the rest two patients were significantly improved.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>SMT should be prohibited in some LDH patients to prevent neurological damages, in whom there are 5 possible risk factors.</p>

Case of Moyamoya Disease Aggravated during the Treatment of Behçet’s Disease

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multi-organ involved inflammatory disorder described by recurrent oral ulcers and other systemic manifestations. Almost all the clinical manifestations of BD are believed to be due to vasculitis. On the other hand, the cerebral arteries are rarely involved. Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an unusual chronic cerebrovascular disorder that is described by bilateral progressive stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery and an abnormal collateral vascular network. A 32-year-old woman with MMD was referred for fever, oral pain, and diarrhea, and was diagnosed with BD. Her MMD was aggravated during treatment with high dose steroids to control the intestinal BD and a reduction in the MMD medication due to gastrointestinal bleeding. This is the first reported case of intestinal BD in a patient previously diagnosed with MMD, who experienced aggravation of her MMD after the cessation of MMD medication due to aggravated intestinal BD.

Identification for the Characteristics of Common Decoction Pieces with Poor Quality and Analysis for the Lab-oratory Test Results / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between several common traits-identify characteristics of decoction pieces and laboratory test results,and improve the efficiency and accuracy of line inspection work. METHODS:Combined with the Chi-nese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition)standards and traditional inspection experience,and collected decoction pieces,the accuracy of traits-identification points were inferred and increased by the ways of TLC,contents,aggravated powder,sulfur dioxide residues , staining and extract. RESULTS:The majority of decoction pieces had the relationship between character identification points and laboratory test results and a small part didn’t. CONCLUSIONS:This study has cleared the identification accuracy of several com-mon decoction pieces,and other parts of the differential diagnosis needs further exploration.

Analysis of Aggravated Perfusion in Myocardial SPECT after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery / 대한핵의학회잡지

Though myocardial perfusion was usually expected to improve after coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) surgery, some myocardial segments were aggravated after operation, as we compared perfusion changes on postoperative SPECT with preoperative ones. In this study, we evaluated perfusion changes after operation in rest and stress myocardial SPCET in 44 patients (M:F=25:19, age 57.1 year +/- 8.2) who had CABG before and 3 months after operation. We tried to find out possible causes for perfusion aggravation with multivariate logistic regression analysis regarding whether bypass graft was artery or vein and which coronary artery territory was operated. Among 616 myocardial segments which were operated, 89(14.4%) aggravated after operation In the univariate analysis, myocardial segments in the left circumflex arteries(I Cx) aggravated more often(p<0.01) than others and segments having operative angioplasty did less often(p<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression revealedthat LCx was risk factor for perfusion aggravation [odds ratio=2.54 (95% confidence interval : 1.53-4.22, p<0.01)] However, this was not the case when we analysed in terms of arterial territories. Among 106 coronary rterial territories which were operated. 27(25.5%) aggravated. The territories having aggravated had similar characterstics regarding whether they received arterial or venous grafts. Angioplasty and whether the operated territories were left anterior descending. Right coronary or left circumflex arteries. In conclusion, myocardial segments in the left circumflex artery tended to aggravate more often after bypass surgery than the others. In short-term comparison of perfusion after surgery. We could not find any tendency that arterial or venous fraft was associated with more frequency of the affravation of perfusion after operation.
