3841. Treatment of men with paraphilia with a long-acting analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
Men with deviant sexual behavior, or paraphilia, are usually treated with psychotherapy, antidepressant drugs, progestins, and antiandrogens, but these treatments are often ineffective. Selective inhibition of pituitary-gonadal function with a long-acting agonist analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone may abolish the deviant sexual behavior by reducing testosterone secretion.

A strategy of mechanical ventilation that limits airway pressure and tidal volume while permitting hypercapnia has been recommended for patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome. The goal is to reduce lung injury due to overdistention. However, the efficacy of this approach has not been established.
3846. Effect of a protective-ventilation strategy on mortality in the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
作者: M B Amato.;C S Barbas.;D M Medeiros.;R B Magaldi.;G P Schettino.;G Lorenzi-Filho.;R A Kairalla.;D Deheinzelin.;C Munoz.;R Oliveira.;T Y Takagaki.;C R Carvalho.

In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome, massive alveolar collapse and cyclic lung reopening and overdistention during mechanical ventilation may perpetuate alveolar injury. We determined whether a ventilatory strategy designed to minimize such lung injuries could reduce not only pulmonary complications but also mortality at 28 days in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
3847. The relation of pneumothorax and other air leaks to mortality in the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
作者: J G Weg.;A Anzueto.;R A Balk.;H P Wiedemann.;E N Pattishall.;M A Schork.;L A Wagner.
来源: N Engl J Med. 1998年338卷6期341-6页
In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumothorax and other air leaks - any extrusion of air outside the tracheobronchial tree - have been attributed to high ventilatory pressures or volumes and linked to increased mortality.
3848. Reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance with long-term epoprostenol (prostacyclin) therapy in primary pulmonary hypertension.
Primary (idiopathic) pulmonary hypertension is a progressive, fatal disease. Conventional therapy with anticoagulant and vasodilator drugs may improve symptoms and survival among selected patients, but there is no evidence that the disease can be reversed.

Estrogen-replacement therapy prevents osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by inhibiting bone resorption, but the balance between its long-term risks and benefits remains unclear. Whether other antiresorptive therapies can prevent osteoporosis in these women is also not clear.
3850. A comparison of botulinum toxin and saline for the treatment of chronic anal fissure.
作者: G Maria.;E Cassetta.;D Gui.;G Brisinda.;A R Bentivoglio.;A Albanese.
来源: N Engl J Med. 1998年338卷4期217-20页
Chronic anal fissure is a tear in the lower half of the anal canal that is maintained by contraction of the internal anal sphincter. Sphincterotomy, the most widely used treatment, is a surgical procedure that permanently weakens the internal sphincter and may lead to anal deformity and incontinence.
3851. Differential behavioral effects of gonadal steroids in women with and in those without premenstrual syndrome.
作者: P J Schmidt.;L K Nieman.;M A Danaceau.;L F Adams.;D R Rubinow.
来源: N Engl J Med. 1998年338卷4期209-16页
The symptoms of women with premenstrual syndrome improve in response to suppression of ovarian function, although these women have no evidence of ovarian dysfunction. We undertook a study to determine the role of estrogen and progesterone in this syndrome.
3852. Interleukin-2-receptor blockade with daclizumab to prevent acute rejection in renal transplantation. Daclizumab Triple Therapy Study Group.

Monoclonal antibodies that block the high-affinity interleukin-2 receptor expressed on alloantigen-reactive T lymphocytes may cause selective immunosuppression. Daclizumab is a genetically engineered human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the alpha chain of the interleukin-2 receptor and may thus reduce the risk of rejection after renal transplantation.
3853. The role of a common variant of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene in the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. The Regression Growth Evaluation Statin Study Group.

The chief clinical characteristics of Graves' disease are hyperthyroidism and ophthalmopathy. The relation between the two and the effect of treatment for hyperthyroidism on ophthalmopathy are unclear.
3855. Leukocyte reduction and ultraviolet B irradiation of platelets to prevent alloimmunization and refractoriness to platelet transfusions.
We conducted a multi-institutional, randomized, blinded trial to determine whether the use of platelets from which leukocytes had been removed by a filter or that had been treated with ultraviolet B irradiation would prevent the formation of antiplatelet alloantibodies and refractoriness to platelet transfusions.
3856. Monitoring women at risk for preterm labor.
