Impact of a program for the prevention of traffic accidents in a Southern Brazilian city: a model for implementation in a developing country

Background: Traffic accidents constitute the main cause of death in the first decades of life. Traumatic brain injury is the event most responsible for the severity of these accidents. The SBN started an educational program for the prevention of traffic accidents, adapted from the American model ""Think First"" to the Brazilian environment, since 1995, with special effort devoted to the prevention of TBI by using seat belts and motorcycle helmets. The objective of the present study was to set up a traffic accident prevention program based on the adapted Think First and to evaluate its impact by comparing epidemiological variables before and after the beginning of the program. Methods: The program was executed in Maringa city, from September 2004 to August 2005, with educational actions targeting the entire population, especially teenagers and young adults. The program was implemented by building a network of information facilitators and multipliers inside the organized civil society, with widespread population dissemination. To measure the impact of the program, a specific software was developed for the storage and processing of the epidemiological variables. Results: The results showed a reduction of trauma severity due to traffic accidents after the execution of the program, mainly TBI. Conclusions: The adapted Think First was systematically implemented and its impact measured for the first time in Brazil, revealing the usefulness of the program for reducing trauma and TBI severity in traffic accidents through public education and representing a standardized model of implementation in a developing country.

The prednisolone suppression test in depression: Dose-response and changes with antidepressant treatment

Depressed patients have reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function, as demonstrated by resistance to the suppressive effects of the synthetic glucocorticoid hormone, and GR agonist, dexamethasone. We have developed a suppressive test with prednisolone, a synthetic glucocorticoid that is similar to cortisol in its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, and binds to both the GR and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). We have found that depressed patients suppress normally to prednisolone, unless they are particularly non-responsive to treatment. In the present study, we evaluated 28 inpatients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and compared salivary cortisol secretion (at 0900 h, 1200 h and 1700 h) after placebo or after prednisolone (5 mg), before and after an inpatient treatment admission. Half of the patients (n = 14) reached treatment response. When comparing the assessment between admission and discharge, cortisol output after placebo fell (-26% of area under the curve; p = 0.024) while the output after prednisolone did not change. Moreover, there was no change in the response to prednisolone (percentage suppression) between admission at discharge, and this was not influenced by treatment response. Finally, we could confirm and extend our previously published data with prednisolone (5 mg), showing that depressed patients (n = 12) and controls (n = 12) suppressed equally to both 5 and 10 mg doses of prednisolone. This study suggests that the response to prednisolone is similar in depressed patients and controls at different doses of prednisolone, and does not change with symptomatic improvement. This is in contrast with findings, from us and others, using other measures of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function, such as basal cortisol levels or the response to dexamethasone. Thus, we propose that the prednisolone suppression test may offer specific biological and clinical information, related to its action at both the GR and the MR. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

PRECLINICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RETINAL BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF SIX NOVEL VITAL DYES FOR CHROMOVITRECTOMY

Purpose: To investigate the retinal biocompatibility of six novel vital dyes for chromovitrectomy. Methods: An amount of 0.05 mL of 0.5% and 0.05% light green (LG), fast green (FG), Evans blue (EB), brilliant blue (BriB), bromophenol blue (BroB), or indigo carmine (IC) was injected intravitreally in the right eye, whereas in the left eye balanced salt solution was applied for control in rabbits` eyes. Clinical examination, fluorescein angiography, histology with light microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were performed after 1 and 7 days. Retinal cell layers were evaluated for morphologic alterations and number of cells. The electroretinographic changes were assessed at baseline, 24 hours and 7 days. Results: Fluorescein angiography disclosed hypofluorescent spots only in the 0.5% EB group. Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy disclosed slight focal morphologic changes in eyes exposed to 0.05% IC, FG, BriB, similar to the control at 1 and 7 days. In the lower dose groups, EB, LG, and BroB caused substantial retinal alterations by light microscopy. At the higher dose, BroB and EB produced diffuse cellular edema and vacuolization within the ganglion cells, bipolar cells, and photoreceptors. FG and IC at 0.5% caused slight retinal alterations similar to balanced salt solution injection. LG at 0.5% caused diffuse vacuolization of bipolar cells after 1 and 7 days. Injection of 0.5% EB caused a significant decrease in neuroretinal cell counts in comparison to control eyes in the 7-day examination (P < 0.05). Electroretinography revealed intermittent prolonged latency and decreased amplitude in eyes injected with 0.5% EB, LG, BriB, and BroB, while at the lower dose, only LG and EB induced few functional changes. Conclusion: The progressive order of retinal biocompatibility, from safest to most toxic, was IC, FG, BriB, BroB, LG, EB.
