Mental Health Consequences of September 11: A Five-Year Review of the Behavioral Sciences Literature

ABSTRACT

This publication provides an overview of studies conducted on different segments of the population and the psychological reactions of respondents to the devastating events of September 11, 2001. This investigation stems out of an intellectual curiosity to learn about the psychological impact of this tragedy in general, and to retrieve studies conducted on families who lost loved ones in particular. To this end, a comprehensive review of the medical and psychological literature was conducted in order to retrieve original research reported in peer-reviewed journal articles published between October 2001 and December 2006. Findings suggest that the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks contributed to widespread and sometimes continued psychological and emotional problems.     

运动影响代谢综合症的机制探讨

代谢综合症是现代常见病,而胰岛素的敏感性降低是诱发代谢综合症的主要因素,而合理的体育运动可以提高胰岛素的敏感性。从代谢综合症与胰岛素的关系出发,就运动对代谢综合症的积极影响进行机制探讨。

Anomalous Activity Measurements of Creatine (Phospho) Kinase,CK-MB Isoenzyme in Indian Patients in the Diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome

In the present study, the cause of suspected false-positive (anomalous) values for CK-MB activity, in Indian patients investigated for ACS. Total serum CK and CK-MB activity, serum Troponin I were measured and CK-MB as a percentage of the total CK activity (%CK-MB) calculated. CK-MB was also estimated using densitometry and CK-MB mass assay. Anomalous specimens were tested for the presence of CK isoenzymes. In 22 healthy subjects, 11 male and female, the %CK-MB ranged from 3.6 to 30.2. In 11 male patients, with proven ACS, the %CK-MB was from 4.0 to 17.5. The cut off for anomalous CK-MB activity values was set as >33.0%. In 35 patients with anomalies, total CK values ranged from 39 to 231 U/L, CK-MB from 30 to 161 U/L. Investigation of CK isoenzymes, showed 10 patients had a CK-BB band, 14 an intermediate band between CK-MM and CK-MB (macro-CK type 1), 7 had a cathodal band (macro-CK type 2), and 3 had a band intermediate between CK-MB and CK-BB. This later band does not seem to have been previously reported. Against the CK-MB mass assay, the activity assay showed no correlation, in 43 patients (19 M, 24 F), Pearson coefficient (R²) was 0.006. The CK-MB immunoinhibition assay is better described as measuring “non-CK-MM activity.” A %CK-MB activity >6% as a marker of ACS is not valid in our patient population. Laboratories should not use only CK-MB activity as a biochemical marker of ACS.     

Comparison Between Serum Insulin Levels and Its Resistance With Biochemical,Clinical and Anthropometric Parameters in South Indian Children and Adolescents

There is a rising trend in the prevalence of insulin resistance among obese, overweight children and adolescents. The serum insulin and its correlation with biochemical, clinical and anthropometric parameters were evaluated in 185 children and adolescents (59 control, 52 obese, 49 overweight, 25 congenital heart disease) of age group 10–17 years. The levels of serum insulin were measured by ELISA. Serum insulin levels were found to be significantly increased in children who were obese, overweight and had congenital heart disease, than controls. Serum insulin levels positively correlated with BMI, WHR, and serum C-peptide, serum leptin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Fasting glucose levels were found to be negatively correlated with serum insulin levels. HDL-cholesterol levels were non-significant among the study groups. We identified nine obese children (five girls and four boys) with the features of metabolic syndrome and 69% of obese and overweight children were identified with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance was strongly associated with metabolic syndrome and its components, especially with central obesity and hypertriglyceridemia.     

体育活动对离退休综合症的干预模式研究

随着老龄化进程的发展,老龄人群体数目越来越庞大,而离退休人员是老龄人群体中的重要组成部分,目前,离退休综合症是离退休人员中普遍存在的一种心理生理疾病,其产生的根源是多方面的,既有社会家庭的影响因素,也有老年人群体的自身因素,而体育活动作为一种有效手段,对离退休综合症有良好的干预和改善作用,从体育学角度出发,研究体育活动对离退休综合症的干预模式,并提出相应的应对措施,以期为老年人健康养老,科学养老提供一定的参考。     

大负荷训练期男子乒乓球运动员身体机能变化特点的研究

对8名男子乒乓球专业运员在大运动量封闭式训练结果显示：运动员血清睾酮和游离睾酮明显下降,血清皮质醇和血尿素明显升高,FT/C和T/C的变化与运动成绩于现较为一致的趋势.认为FT/C和T/C可以作为优秀乒乓球运动员的机能评定指标之一.建议可将血清睾酮、游离睾酮和皮质醇作为阶段性机能监控指标,血尿素可以作为小周期机能监控指标.     

代谢综合征与运动干预对中心性肥胖影响的研究进展

代谢综合征（metabolicsyndrome,MS）是一系列代谢异常成分在同一个体聚集的临床综合症状,中心性肥胖是其重要的发病危险因素和临床表现之一。此外,有诸多研究显示中心性肥胖还是胰岛素抵抗（insulinresistance,IR）的一个重要发病基础。中心性肥胖症患者实施运动干预,对MS、IR有着显著的影响。本文通过文献资料法就中心性肥胖的危害和运动干预对中心性肥胖的影响进行综述。     

Circadian Rhythm of Serum Cortisol in Female Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients have disturbed sleep patterns which may lead to altered circadian rhythm in serum cortisol secretion. The aim of this study was to assess circadian changes, if any, in serum cortisol levels in female patients with FMS. Cortisol levels were estimated every 6 h during 24 h period; in 40 female patients satisfying ACR criteria for FMS (Age 36.4 ± 9.9), and 40 healthy females without FMS (Age 33.8 ± 11.1). A significant difference in the night time serum cortisol level was observed among the patients and control groups (patients, 12.9 ± 9.7 controls 5.8 ± 3.0; p < 0.01). However, no significant difference was found in serum cortisol levels in patients and control groups in the morning (patients, 28.4 ± 13.2 controls, 27.6 ± 14.5; p > 0.05), afternoon (patients, 14.4 ± 5.6 controls, 14.0 ± 6.6; p > 0.05) and evening hours (patients, 10.9 ± 5.8 controls, 8.9 ± 3.6; p > 0.05). It could be concluded that there is an abnormality in circadian secretion of cortisol in female FMS patients.
