Patient's self-interpretation of tuberculin skin tests

BACKGROUND: In the outpatient use of tuberculin skin testing (purified protein derivative [PPD]), it is at times inconvenient to have a patient revisit for interpretation. Therefore, we assessed patients' ability to self-interpret these test results. METHODS: In keeping with prior custom, patients were seen by an experienced nurse, who performed skin testing with PPD intermediate strength as well as mumps and Candida anergy control tests in some cases, and explained the procedure. The patients were asked to return 48 to 72 h later, at which time one of the researchers recorded their test interpretations before they were again evaluated by the nurse. RESULTS: Sixty-eight patients were studied, of whom 59 returned at appropriate interval. Eighteen patients had a positive PPD test reaction of 10 to 20 mm induration, which only one patient correctly identified as a positive test result. However, positive anergy control tests were correctly interpreted in 10 of 27 cases. CONCLUSION: The small number of positive PPD test result recognition by these patients may be partially attributed to their lack of education, as well as foreign birth and denial of illness. PPD results should be checked by an experienced professional.     

Fe－Cu包埋团簇的制备及其微观结构的研究

基于溅射－气体－聚集（ＳＧＡ）形成团簇的原理，提出了蒸发－气体－聚集（ＥＧＡ）共沉积方法，并在方华膜载网上成功地制备了Ｆｅ－Ｃｕ纳米磁性包理团簇样品。ＴＥＭ／ＥＤ分析表明，样品中Ｆｅ团簇被Ｃｕ原子所包裹，形成了以Ｆｅ团簇为芯，Ｃｕ膜为壳的良好的芯－壳式包埋结构。当衬底温度由２５℃变化到２００℃时，样品形貌由弥散状过渡到集团状，直至形成大的块状；其结构也相应的由Ｆｅ－Ｃｕ多晶共存变化为一种不规则的单晶形态。     

Prediction of outcome in omphalocele and gastroschisis by intraoperative measurement of intravesical pressure

A simple and accurate measurement of intraabdominal pressure is essential to predict a successful closure of defects in omphalocele and gastroschisis. Intravesical pressure (IVP) is a close estimation of intraabdominal pressure and can be measured safely by placing a catheter in the urinary bladder during surgery. Three neonates with gastroschisis and four with omphalocele were studied. Pressure-related complications such as ascites leakage, ventral hernia, impaired venous return of the lower extremities, and oliguria developed only in the patients with IVP > 20 mmHg after fascial closure. Prolonged hospitalization, ventilation support and intensive care were required for these patients.     

A Study of the Specific Heats of the Compounds in the Sm_2O_3-BaO-CuO System

By means of X-ray diffraction and adiabatic scanning calorimeter,the specific heatsof five compounds in the Sm_2O_3-BaO--CuO system,such as Sm_2BaO_4,Sm_2CuO_4,BaCuO_4,Sm_2BaCuO_5,SmBa_2Cu_3O_(7-x),from -150℃ to 800℃ have been measured.It is found that the specific heats ofthese compounds increase smoothly with the increase of temperature.     

CAD OF MILLIMETER WAVE OSCILLATORS WITH THE FDHB TECHNIQUE

In this paper the modelling, analysis and optimization of millimeter wave oscillatorsare investigated by using the a frequency-domain harmonic balance technique (FDHB), where theexternal-circuit impedances looking outside from the active device are calculated with a combinedtechnique of modes expansion, Galerkin, and collocation methods. The optimization results arein agreement with the experimental ones, which show the reliability of the presented model andoptimization.     

MOSFET亚阈特性分析与低温按比例缩小理论的研究

器件尺寸按比例缩小是实现超大规模集成电路的有效途径，但寄生和二级效应却将器件限在一定的水平，本文在对比分析常温与低温下小尺寸器件效应的基础上，重点研究了ＭＯＳ器件亚阈特性对器件性能及按比例缩小的影响，并根据低温工作的特点，提出了ＭＯＳ器件一种低温按比例缩小规则，该原则对低温器的优化设计，从而更大程度在提高电路与系统性能具有重要的指导意义。
