Individual differences in extended practice functions and solution strategies for basic addition facts.

Practice on addition basic facts and changes in solution strategies were examined in 3rd- and 4th-grade students, practicing over 3 months. Response latencies decreased, indicating positive practice effects. Each of 3 student groups demonstrated different solution–strategy mixtures. Different mixtures led to different practice effects, indexed by shifts to more efficient counting strategies and more direct retrieval. Expectations about effects of practice and instructional strategies for optimizing practice must be sensitive to a child's actual strategy pattern. Most students had decreasing latency practice functions. However, quantitative functions fit to the practice session data indicated a high proportion of cases where the latency pattern over sessions was nonmonotonic. Trends over a small number of practice sessions may be inadequate for decisions about the utility of further practice, because such data may poorly represent long-term, cumulative effects on modifying strategy usage.

The pathogenesis of undiagnosed peritonitis in middle-aged and elderly patients with acute coronary insufficiency

Three-stage treatment using a day hospital instead of a sanatorium with regards to the pattern of a tuberculosis process can achieve the results of closure of decay and abacillation cavities, which are not inferior to those with the conventional treatment, by reducing the basic regimen through the length of a hospital stage. The efficiency of two-stage treatment (day hospital--outpatient clinic) of lung tissue decay and culture-positive patients depends on the duration of the basic regimen, patient compliance, and the presence of a concomitant abnormality.

Surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism 1962-1996: indications and outcomes

Twenty-two cases of ameloblastoma and ten cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) were analyzed comparatively by the AgNOR technique. Ameloblastomas were distributed into three groups according to their clinical behaviour: primary lesions without recurrences (PLWTR), 5 cases; primary lesions with recurrences (PLWR), 4 cases; and recurrences, 13 cases. The cases were also regrouped according to their histological pattern: follicular (9 cases), plexiform (7 cases), acanthomatous (4 cases) and unicystic (2 cases). Considering histological patterns, there was a significant statistical difference only between follicular and plexiform types. There were no significant differences between the group of ameloblastomas and the group of AOTs or between the three groups of ameloblastomas with different clinical behaviour. Our results strongly suggest that the distinct clinical behaviour of ameloblastomas and AOT is not correlated with their cellular proliferation ratio. Thus, the infiltrative ability of the ameloblastomas is probably not related to the cellular proliferation index of these tumours.     

Comparability of self-report of familial alcoholism among male and female college students

There is a general impression in the literature that women are more accurate reporters of familial psychiatric history. In this regard, this study presents data from a large cohort of young men (n = 427) and women (n = 607) who in answering a questionnaire self-reported alcohol abuse symptoms for various biological relatives. No significant gender differences emerged for any of the family history comparisons including reports for father, mother, either parent, any first- or second-degree relatives, or men or women relatives. The findings are discussed in the context of the existing literature.     

Relation between the level of E. coli gene expression and the structure of translation initiation region (TIR). III. Sites of complementary interaction of TIR with 16S rRNA

The addition of vertebral disc degeneration to the job-related disease register raises the question of vertebral disc degeneration patterns according to loading strain. The readings of the lumbar vertebra of construction workers and nurses were compared with those of a group without workload. In the groups examined, aged 35 to 50, monosegmental damage was found in only 17% of the patients with high workload, as opposed to 29% of those with no workload, mostly with monosegmental damage at level L5/S1. Damage to the upper segments of the lumbar spine with intact discs in between was found exclusively in patients with high workload. Multiple segment damage in the age range examined was found in subjects with activities that add to the load of the spinal column. The value of MRI in assessing and evaluating illness originating from the vertebral discs is currently being discussed.     

利用扫描电镜研究三维电极主电极表面腐蚀状况

借助扫描电镜（SEM）对不同实验条件下的三维电极主电极表面腐蚀状况进行研究。结果表明，三维电极主极阳极的内侧腐蚀程度远大于其外侧，水样性质、电极材料性质对电极的腐蚀程度有很大的影响，不锈钢做三维电极主电极优于铝、铁电极。为三维电极主电极的选材提供了一定的理论依据。
