Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2001;9(2):414-142
Objective:To study the the mental health and relevant factors of patients with hepatitis B. Methods: 58 cases of patients with hepatitis B were assessed with the Social Support Scale, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Trait Coping Questionnaire and compared with healthy person. Results: All patients had obvious psychosomatic symptoms. The mental health level was negatively correlated with postive coping style and social support. Conclusion: Several psychosocial factors played an important role in the onset and trealment of Hepatitis B disease.
2.Neurotoxic effects of intrathecal ropivacaine and bupivacaine on the spinal cord in rats
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2008;28(11):969-971
Objective To compare the neurotoxic effects of intratheeal ropivacaine and bupivacaine on the spinal cord in rats.Methods Female SD rats weighing 240-330 g were used in this study.Catheters(PE 10 tubing)were inserted through an incision in the cisternal membrane and advanced caudad until the tip of the catheter reached the lumbar spinal level according to the technique described by Yaksh and Rudy.Fifty-four successfully catheterized rats were randomly assigned tO one of 3 groups(n=18 each):group Ⅰ received normal saline 30μlIT(NS);groupⅡ received 2%bupivacaine 20μl IT(BU)and group Ⅲ 2.7%ropivacaine 20μl IT (RO).Degree of motor block was assessed and scored(0=no block,2=inability to flex the hind limb)before (T1,baseline)and at 10,20,30,60 and 120 min(T2-6)after IT injection.On the 4th day after IT injection specimens were obtained from lumbar spinal cord for microscopic examination.Results The motor block score was significantly higher in group BU and RO than in group NS(P<0.05),and the tissue damage was severe in group BU and RO.The motor block scores were significantly higher at T2 than at T3-6 in beth group BU and RO(P<0.05).There Was no significant difference in motor block score at T2 between groups BU and RO but the motor block scores were significantly lower at T3-5 in group RO than in group BU(P<0.05).The tissue damage was Severer in group RO than in group BU(P<0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal 2.7% ropivacaine is more toxic to the spinal cord than intrathecal 2%bupivacaine in rats.

Objective To clarify protective effect of the application of Ginkgo-damole in elderly patients with hypertension in total hip arthroplasty.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,67 elderly patients with hypertension which should take total hip arthroplasty were divided into observation group and control group.Ginkgo-damole were only used in observation group during the operation.The anesthetic effect and the change of systolic blood pressure(SBP)diastolic blood pressure(DBP),heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were observed,postoperative recovery time of consciousness were recorded. Results The level of SBP,DBP,MAP and HR in both group were significantly difference when compared with before anesthesia(P<0.05 ).At the T2-4 time point,the level of SBP,DBP,MAP in observation group were significantly higher than that of control group,the level of HR was significantly lower than the control group,there had significant difference(P<0.05).At the T5 time point,the level of SBP, DBP,MAP and HR in observation group were significantly lower than of control group,there had significant difference between two groups(P<0.05 ).The postoperative recovery time in observation group was(10.41 ±2.35)min,which was lower than that in control group(15.63 ±2.42)min,there had significant difference between two groups(P<0.05 ).Conclusion Ginkgo-damole can effectively relieve the stress reactions caused by anesthesia and total hip arthroplasty,it has good protective effect on elderly patients with hypertension.

An analysis of the present development of general practitioners in China,probed into the bottlenecks found.The paper proposed to set forth from the training,use and incentives of GPs to promote the systematic design of China's GP system.These measures center on the regulation of GPs development,while building a multi-channel and multi-level GP development system.Other recommendations include raising the professional standing and attractiveness of GPs as a discipline,and enhancing GPs capacity building to promote general practitioners development.

To investigate the interrelationship between plasma renin activity(PRAXaldosterone (Ald),atrial natri-uretic peptide ( ANP ) and blood volume ( BV ) in adult nephrotic syndrome ( NS ) . Methods BV was assessed using 113mInCl dilution method. PRA、 Angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ)、Ald、ANP were determined by radioirnmunoassay. 28 edema-tous NS patients,26 healthy controls and 18 cases of remission were involved. Results (1)During edematous period, PR, AngⅡ , Ald、 ANP were higher in NS than in controls. There was no difference of BV between NS and controls. Albumin ,PRA,AngⅡ 、Ald and ANP were not correlated with BV; (2)After remission, comparing with edematous period, Ald 、ANP deceased significantly whereas PRA、AngⅡ、Ald and total BV were not different; (3) Urine natrium excretion (UNaV) was negatively correlated with Aid. Conclusion Ald and ANP may be the major regulating factors of sodium excretion in nephrotic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the manifestations and genetic mechanisms of male sex reversal syndrome. Methods A 22 year old male patient with 46,XX karyotype was systemically examined and a Y specific sequence tagged site (STS),sY14,was chosen to detect sex determining region of Y (SRY) gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results This patient shows primary and secondary male sex characters while gonads are hypoplastic and malfunctional.The patent has 46,XX karyotype and SRY gene.Therefore,the patient is diagnosed as 46,XX male sex reversal syndrome. Conclusions Translocation of SRY can bring about 46,XX male sex reversal syndrome,whereas gonads of the patients are hypoplastic and malfunctional because of the absence of other genes on Y chromosome.SRY gene plays an important role in sex determination.

Objective To construct directional expressing cDNA library from normal testes in Chinese males for further studying the structure and functions of spermatogenesis related genes. Methods mRNA of normal testes from a Chinese male was isolated and the cDNA synthesized by reverse transcription.After being digested by SalI and NotI ,dscDNA was subcloned into expressing plasmid pSPORT1 directionally.Finally,the directional expressing cDNA library from normal testes in Chinese males was constructed. Results The transformation rate of the library was 7?10 5.Ten clones were chosen and analysed. Digested by SalI and NotI ,the fragments of 0.5~2.0 kb were obtained with cDNA inserted. Conclusions The present study indicates that the directional expressing cDNA library from normal testes in Chinese males is qualified to screen genes and is considered to be helpful for studying the structure and functions of spermatogenesis related genes.

Objective To investigate the condition of microdeletions of AZF region of the Y chromosome in Chinese patients with spermatogenetic malfunction. Methods Six Y chromosome specific sequence-tagged-sites(STS) in AZF region were screened and the microdeletions were determined by PCR in 27 patients with spermatogenetic malfunction. Results Microdeletions in genomic DNA were observed in 2 cases who presented with azoospermia and limited to AZFc subregion.The total deletion rate was 7.4%.The deletion patterns of the 2 cases were DAZ(sY254,sY255) and DAZ plus sY157,respectively. Conclusions Like other races, microdeletions of the Y chromosome in Chinese people may be one of the causes of spermatogenetic malfunction.Therefore prior to assistant reproduction,screening for microdeletions of the Y chromosome in patients with spermatogenetic malfunction is necessary.
9.Effect of dexamethasone or theophylline on platelet-activating factor-induced eosinophils
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(08):-
AIM: To elucidate the effects of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on eosinophil activation and the action of dexamethasone or theophylline during this process. METHODS: Eosinophils (EOS) from the peripheral blood of normal subjects were isolated. The hypodense eosinopil (HE) and normodense eosinophil (NE) were studied with electron microscopy. The effects of PAF on eosinophil activation and the action of dexamethasone or theophylline during the above process were measured. RESULTS: Hypodense eosinophil had significantly smaller individual granules than normodense eosinophil had. PAF induced eosinophil peroxidase release, and generated. Eosinophils incubated with 10~(-8) mmol/L PAF and 10~(-5) mmol/L dexamethasone released (101.17?10.32) mg/L eosinophil peroxidase (P
