polyunsaturated phospatidyl-choline ( ppc ) has been shown to reduce serum aminotransferases in experimental hepatitis . this multi-center , randomized , double-blind , placebo-controlled trial evaluated the effects of ppc in patients with chronic hepatitis b and c in combination with interferon alpha @a or @b . the diagnosis of chronic viral hepatitis was based on an abnormal serum alanine aminotransferase ( alt ) value ( more than twice the upper value of normal ) , viral replication and chronic hepatitis found on liver biopsy . patients received @ million i.u. ( hepatitis b ) and @ million i.u. ( hepatitis c ) interferon s.c. thrice weekly for @ weeks , respectively , and were randomly assigned to additional oral medication with either @ capsules of ppc ( total daily dose : @ g ) or @ capsules of placebo per day for @ weeks . biochemical response to therapy was defined as a reduction of alt by more than @ % of pre-treatment values . the responders were treated for further @ weeks after cessation of interferon therapy with either ppc or placebo . @ patients completed the study protocol ( per-protocol population : @ in the ppc and @ in the placebo group ) . a biochemical response ( > @ % alt reduction ) was seen in @ % of patients who were treated with ppc , but only in @ % of patients who received placebo ( p < @ ) . ppc increased the response rate in particular in patients with hepatitis c : @ % of those patients responded in the ppc group versus @ % in the placebo group ( p < @ ) . prolonged ppc therapy given to responders beyond the cessation of interferon therapy tended to increase the rate of sustained responders at week @ in patients with hepatitis c ( @ % versus @ % in the control group ; p = @ ) . in contrast , ppc did not alter the biochemical response to interferon in patients with hepatitis b. ppc did not accelerate elimination of hbv-dna , hbeag and hcv-rna . in conclusion , ppc may be recommended in patients with chronic hepatitis c in combination with interferon and after termination of interferon in order to reduce the high relapse rate . ppc may not be recommended for patients with chronic hepatitis b. in contrast to ifn and other antiviral agents ppc does not carry major risks and is tolerated very well .

some precursor p wave changes on electrocardiogram ( ecg ) before the atrial fibrillation ( af ) episodes occur in the hyperthyroidism . our aim was to compare the effect of two antithyroid drugs ( atd ) on p wave duration and dispersion ( pwd ) in patients with hyperthyroidism . fifty patients ( @ men , @ women ; mean age @ + / -@ years ) with newly diagnosed overt hyperthyroid patients with graves ' disease ( gd ) were enrolled in the prospective , randomized study . the maximum p wave duration ( pmax ) and the minimum p wave duration ( pmin ) were measured in all @-lead surface ecgs . the patients were consecutively randomized to propylthiouracil ( ptu ) ( n = @ ) and methimazole ( mmz ) ( n = @ ) groups . electrocardiogram was repeated within euthyroid state after the @-month atd treatment . student t-test , mann-whitney u and pearson chi-square tests were used for comparisons of the data between groups . the differences between pre - and post-treatment measurements within groups were evaluated by wilcoxon sign rank test . the correlation of data was tested by using spearman correlation analysis . the maximum p wave duration ( pmax ) was @ ( @-@ ) and @ ( @-@ ) msec , ( p = @ ) , and pwd was @ ( @-@ @ ) and @ ( @-@ ) msec , respectively ( p = @ ) in ptu and mmz groups . after euthyroidism was achieved , pmax was @ ( @-@ ) and @ ( @-@ ) msec ( p = @ ) , and pwd was @ ( @-@ ) and @ ( @-@ ) msec in ptu and mmz groups , respectively ( p = @ ) . after atd treatment pwd decreased ( p = @ and p < @ , respectively ) in both of ptu and mmz groups . however effects of atd on pwd change were similar ( p = @ ) . p wave duration and pwd are found to be prolonged in hyperthyroid patients with gd . both propylthiouracil and methimazole reduce the p wave duration and dispersion . thus , we can conclude that improvements in atrial conduction properties are not associated with the type of atd but with only achievement of euthyroidism .

to evaluate the effectiveness of infant massage compared with that of a crib vibrator in the treatment of infantile colic . infants < @ weeks of age and perceived as colicky by their parents were randomly assigned to an infant massage group ( n = @ ) or a crib vibrator group ( n = @ ) . three daily intervention periods were recommended in both groups . parents recorded infant crying and given interventions in a structured cry diary that was kept for @ week before ( baseline ) and for @ weeks during the intervention . parents were interviewed after the first and third weeks of intervention to obtain their evaluation of the effectiveness of the given massage or crib vibration . at baseline , the mean amount of total crying was @ ( standard deviation : @ ) hours/day in the massage group infants and @ ( @ ) hours/day in the vibrator group infants . the mean amount of colicky crying was @ ( standard deviation : @ ) hours/day and @ ( @ ) hours/day , respectively . the mean number of daily intervention periods was @ in both groups . over the @-week study , the amount of total and colicky crying decreased significantly in both intervention groups . the reduction in crying was similar in the study groups : total crying decreased by a mean @ % in the massage group and by @ % in the vibrator group , and colicky crying decreased by @ % and @ % , respectively . the amount of other crying ( total crying minus colicky crying ) remained stable in both groups over the intervention . ninety-three percent of the parents in both groups reported that colic symptoms decreased over the @-week intervention , and @ % of the parents in the massage group and @ % of the parents in the crib vibrator group perceived the @-week intervention as colic reducing . infant massage was comparable to the use of a crib vibrator in reducing crying in colicky infants . we suggest that the decrease of total and colicky crying in the present study reflects more the natural course of early infant crying and colic than a specific effect of the interventions .

this study was conducted to compare oral contraceptive ( oc ) pharmacokinetics ( pk ) in normal-weight [ body mass index ( bmi ) @-@ @ ] and obese ( bmi @-@ @ ) women . during the third week of the third cycle of oc use , we admitted @ normal-weight and @ obese women for collection of @ venous specimens over @ h. using radioimmunoassay techniques , we measured levels of ethinyl estradiol ( ee ) and levonorgestrel ( lng ) . during the same cycle , women underwent twice-weekly sonography to assess ovarian follicular development and blood draws to measure endogenous estradiol ( e@ ) and progesterone levels . obese women had a lower area under the curve ( auc ; @ vs. @ pg * h/ml ) and lower maximum values ( @ vs. @ pg/ml ) for ee than normal-weight women ( p = @ and < @ , respectively ) ; ee trough levels were similar between bmi groups . the similar , but smaller , differences in their lng levels for auc and maximum values ( c ( max ) ) were not statistically significant . while peak values differed somewhat , the lng trough levels were similar for obese and normal-weight women ( @ and @ ng/ml , respectively ) . women with greater ee auc had smaller follicular diameters ( p = @ ) and lower e@ levels ( p = @ ) . while follicular diameters tended to be larger among obese women , these differences were not statistically significant . oc hormone peak levels are lower among obese women compared to normal-weight women , but their trough levels are similar . in this small study , the observed pk differences did not translate into more ovarian follicular activity among obese oc users .
