China's first total care unit for the spinal cord injured.

Before discussing China's first total care unit for the spinal cord injured, it is important, though difficult due to lack of an epidemiological study, to give the incidence of spinal cord injury in China. The only seriously conducted study of this kind was that from the Beijing Area (Spinal Cord Injury Investigating Group in Beijing, 1988). Some of the results will be presented below.

[An epidemiological investigation on an outbreak of non-A, non-B hepatitis occurring after a dinner party].

This paper reports an investigation on an outbreak of Non-A, Non-B hepatitis occurred after a dinner party. The attack rate was 25.89%. The ratio of male to female was 1.48 to 1. Two patients were suffering from fulminant hepatitis. The attack rates showed no significant difference among various age groups. Thirty-three percent of the patients had jaundice and 50% had fever. The results indicated that this outbreak was probably related to some food taken during the party.

Does the route of feeding modify gastric emptying in rats?

BACKGROUND: It has been shown that the pattern of previous nutrient intake can influence gastric emptying. However, the effect of the absence of enteral stimulation in the setting of a normal energy supply on gastric emptying has not been examined. The aim of this study was to determine whether the absence of enteral stimulation during total parenteral nutrition (TPN) could modify gastric emptying in rats. METHODS: Two experiments were performed. First, gastric emptying of a peptone meal was compared between rats receiving TPN, oral liquid diet (same solution as TPN), or regular diet (control group) for 10 days. In the second experiment, gastric emptying of two test meals (40% peptone and 25% glucose) was studied before and after rats received TPN or intragastric nutrition (same solution as TPN) for 10 to 12 days. RESULTS: In experiment 1, gastric emptying of 40% peptone in the TPN and liquid diet groups was slower than that in the control group. This difference was significant between the TPN group and the control group (p < .01) but not between the liquid diet and control groups (p = .076). Gastric emptying of this meal in the TPN and liquid diet groups was similar. In experiment 2, no difference in gastric emptying of 40% peptone or 25% glucose was found between rats receiving TPN and those receiving intragastric nutrition for 10 to 12 days. CONCLUSIONS: The composition of diet not the route of feeding is important in the modification of gastric emptying by the pattern of previous nutrient intake.
