    Background Current guidance suggests that we should monitor the physical health of people with serious mental illness and there has been a significant financial investment over recent years to provide this. Objectives To assess the effectiveness of physical health monitoring as a means of reducing morbidity, mortality and reduction in quality of life in people with serious mental illness. Search methods We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group Trials Register (October 2009) which is based on regular searches of CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycINFO. Selection criteria All randomised or quasi-randomised clinical trials focusing on physical health monitoring versus standard care or comparing i) self monitoring vs monitoring by health care professional; ii) simple vs complex monitoring; iii) specific vs non-specific checks iv) once only vs regular checks or v) comparison of different guidance. Data collection and analysis The authors (GT, AC, SM) independently screened search results and identified three studies as possibly fulfilling the review's criteria. On examination, however, all three were subsequently excluded. Main results We did not identify any randomised trials which assessed the effectiveness of physical health monitoring in people with serious mental illness. Authors' conclusions There is no evidence from randomised trials to support current guidance and practice. Guidance and practice are based on expert consensus, clinical experience and good intentions rather than high quality evidenc

    肌醇1,4,5-磷酸三酯受体(InOSITOl 1,4,5-TrISPHOSPHATE rECEPTOr,IP3r)是内质网钙离子释放的重要通道,对细胞信号的传递至关重要。国内外已经提出一些IP3r通道模型,用来解释拟合IP3r通道膜片钳实验数据,其中的dE yOung-kEIzEr模型在数值模拟中应用最为广泛。随着人工免疫系统研究的迅速发展,人工免疫算法已经在多目标优化问题上取得了广泛应用。作者应用混合免疫多目标优化算法,根据爪蟾卵母细胞和草地夜蛾细胞核膜IP3r通道的开放概率、平均开放时间和平均闭合时间的动力学实验数据,对dE yOung-kEIzEr通道模型进行参数拟合,获得大量优化的拟合参数,从而得到通道模型参数分布图。通过对比两种细胞的拟合参数分布,指出这两种不同细胞IP3r通道的开关动力学差异,主要来源于抑制CA2+结合时IP3结合位点和当IP3结合时抑制CA2+结合位点的结合动力学不同。The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor(IP3 R),which is a Ca2+-release channel in the endoplasmic reticulum,plays an important role in cellular signaling system.In recent years,several IP3 R models have been proposed to fit the stationary data of patch clamp recordings.The De Young-Keizer model is one of the most widely applied IP3 R models.With the rapid development of artificial immune system,the artificial immune algorithms have been widely applied to multi-objective optimization problems.In this paper,the authors applied the immune algorithm to fit the parameters in De Young-Keizer model according to the nuclear membrane experimental data of open probability,mean open time and mean closing time of the Xenopus oocyte and Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells.By comparing the fitting parameter distributions of the two types of channels,it is indicated that the differences in the IP3 R channel dynamics between the two types of cells are originated from the dynamic differences in the IP3 binding site when inhibitory Ca2+is bonded and the inhibitory Ca2+binding site when IP3 is bonded.国家杰出青年科学基金项目(11125419); 福建省高校领军人才资助计划; 教育部新世纪优秀人才支持计划(NCET-12-0649)~

    采用后向抽运的两级级联的掺铒光纤超荧光光源的新型结构,运用同步抽运技术对两级光纤按比例进行后向抽运,从而实现高效率且中心波长稳定的L波段超荧光光源输出。研究了光纤总长度、两级光纤长度分配以及抽运比例对超荧光光源输出特性参数的影响。结果表明,通过采用两级级联后向结构可以将光谱从C波段有效地转移到L波段,而且能够实现在高抽运功率下具有中心波长对抽运功率波动不敏感的特性。在290 mW功率1;1抽运下,实验获得了输出功率97 mW,线宽47.3nm,中心波长稳定的L波段超荧光光源

    DNA双链断裂(DSBs)是电离辐射诱导的最重要的原发损伤,研究DSBs有利于揭示细胞辐射敏感性的机理。用倒转脉冲场凝胶电泳结合荧光扫描进行DNA定量研究75MeV/u12C6+对小鼠B16黑色素瘤细胞DSBs的诱导,结果表明:DSBs产额约为0.74DSBs/100Mbp/Gy;DNA片段分布在两个区域。大片段区分子量约为1.4Mbp~3.2Mbp,分子量小于1.2Mbp的为小片段区;并且随着剂量的增加,大片段区DNA含量逐渐下降,而小片段区的DNA含量显著增加。表明B16DNA分子上可能存在对重离子较为敏感的位点。攀登计划(B)”项目,中国科学院兰州分院基

    General physical health advice for people with serious mental illness

    There is currently much focus on provision of general physical health advice to people with serious mental illness and there has been increasing pressure for services to take responsibility for providing this. For the comparison of physical healthcare advice versus standard care we identified five studies (total n = 884) of limited quality. For measures of quality of life one trial found no difference (n = 54, 1 RCT, MD Lehman scale 0.00 CI -0.67 to 0.67) but another did (n = 407, 1 RCT, MD Quality of Life Medical Outcomes Scale - mental component 3.7 CI 1.7 to 5.6). There was no difference between groups for the outcome of death (n = 407, 1 RCT, RR 1.3 CI 0.3 to 6.0), for the outcome of uptake of ill-health prevention services, one study found percentages significantly greater in the advice group (n = 363, 1 RCT, MD 36.9 CI 33.1 to 40.7). Economic data were equivocal. Attrition was large (> 30%) but similar for both groups (n = 884, 5 RCTs, RR 1.18 CI 0.97 to 1.43). Comparisons of one type of physical healthcare advice with another were grossly underpowered and equivocal
