To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 305 cases with apoplectic sequela admitted at our general geriatric nursing ward from January 2000 to December 2011.The subjects were divided into 2 groups:hypoalbuminemia and non-hypoalbuminemia.Advanced age (OR =5.624),chronic heart failure (OR =2.298),conscious disturbance (OR =1.575),dysphagia (OR =1.565),complete bedridden (OR=2.874),pneumonia (OR =3.725) and bedsore (OR =5.336) were risk factors for hypoalbuminemia in the patients with apoplectic sequela.And hyperglycemia(OR =0.066)was a protective factor for it.
2.Study on the main disability reasons and their changes in the elderly with physical disabilities in China
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2009;28(2):164-167
Objective To understand the current status and the changes in main disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities during the past 20 years in China. Methods The data of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over that were from the national sample survey on disability in 1987 and 2006 were analyzed and compared by epidemiology methods. Results In 2006.the main disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 and over were disease factors,injury factors,other factors and congenital diseases and eccyliosis.The cause-specific disability prevalences were 5.262%,1.885%,1.000% and 0.200%respectively.Cerebrovaseular diseases showed the highest cause-specific disability prevalence of 2.552% in all the causes.Compared with the national sample survey in 1987,the cause-specific disability prevalences of disease factors and injury factors were obviously increased.The top five disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over in China were cerebrovascular diseases,arthropathy,miscellaneous traumas,other causes and unknown causes in the national sample survey in 2006;while vascular diseases,other traumas,other causes,unknown causes and pyogenic infection were the top five disability reasons in the national sample survey in 1987.The age-specific top five reasons were basically the same with the total top five disability reasons of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over,and also the same relationship between sex-specific top five reasons and Iotal top five disability reasons in 1987 and 2006. Conclusions Disease factors are the main disability reasons of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over,and cerebrovascular diseases have the highest cause specific disability prevalence.The prevention and cure of cerebrovascular diseases,arthropathy and other traumas become the key points to prevent physical disability in the elderly.
3.Whether preventive drainage is needed or not after abdominal surgery
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2008;7(5):325-326
Abdominal drainage is the most common technique applied in the abdominal surgery. According to the aim of drainage, it can be divided into curative drainage and preventive drainage, but there is no obvious difference between the 2 drainages. Abdominal drainage is not necessary after parenchymal viscera operation, but necessary after spleenectomy in preventing infection. For cavity viscera operation, abdominal drainage is applied according to the infectious condition, but scholars at home and abroad have different opinions on this point. Surgeons should pay attention to the placement of the drainage tube in patients who received preventive drainage.
4.Comparison of low-versus high-intensity focused ultrasound in treating pain due to chronic soft tissue injury
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2015;35(7):815-818
Objective To compare the low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in treating pain due to chronic soft tissue injury.Methods Ninety-three patients with pain due to chronic soft tissue injury, aged 18-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-31 kg/m2,course of the disease 3 months-10 yr, and pain intensity of 4-8 in a numeric rating scale, were randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table: low intensity group (group LI, n =49) and high intensity group (group HI, n =44).In group LI, the patients received LIFU with the minimum ultrasonic intensity causing senses (acid, hemp, swelling, pain) , and the treatment was continued for 10 min.In group HI, the patients received HIFU with the focused uhrasound intensity that could not be tolerated by the patients, the treatment was continued for 1 min each time and then suspended for 1 min, and the total time for treatment was 10 min.The patients received the treatment once a day, and the course of treatment was 5 days in both groups.When numeric rating scale score > 4 during the treatment, parecoxib sodium 40 mg was injected intramuscularly as rescue analgesic.Both the therapeutic index and improvement in movement were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect, and the quality of life and depression were assessed and scored.The treatment-related adverse events were also recorded.Results The total effective rate was 98% and 84% in LI and HI groups, respectively.Compared with group HI, the total effective rate was significantly increased, the quality of life score was increased, and no significant change was found in depression score in group LI.No patients used parecoxib sodium or developed treatment-related adverse events in group LI.One patient (2%) required parecoxib sodium, the incidence of skin burns, nerve damage and abnormal pain was 4%, 2% and 2%, respectively, and no patients developed tissue swelling in group HI.Conclusion LIFU has higher therapeutic effect than HIFU in treating pain due to soft tissue injury, and the safety is good.
5.Posttraumatic stress symptoms and related factors among preschool children who experienced the Ludian earthquake
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(3):225-229
Objective:To explore the prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptoms among preschool children and its related factors after the Ludian earthquake.Methods:A total of 62 children's guardians were visited.They were interviewed with the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Semi-Structured Interview for Infants and the Young Children and the Child Behavior Checklist-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder scale (CBCL-PTSD) consisted of 15 items from the CBCL.All of the participantsresided in Longtoushan settlement and Longtoushan town (the epicenter).They were randomly visited from west to east in that region.Results:The rate of scored 9 (or more) on the CBCL-PTSD among children was 51.9% (27/52) in 1-2 months after the earthquake.However,based on the Semi-Structured Interview,the rate of the children's posttraumatic stress symptoms was 26.9 % (14/52).The numbers of posttraumatic stress symptoms,intrusion symptoms,avoidance symptoms,hyperarousal symptoms,the new symptoms and the CBCL-PTSD scores were positively correlated (0.30-0.73,P <0.05),except the relation between intrusion symptoms and hyperarousal symptoms.The rate of intrusion symptoms was significant higher among those who experienced earthquake than those who didn't (96.2% vs.60.0%,P <0.01).And the rate of intrusion symptoms was also higher among those who was injured during the earthquake than those who wasn't (100% vs.84.6%,P < 0.05).And the other symptoms were not difference in children under different conditions (P > 0.005).Conclusion:The preschool children who experienced earthquake or were injured suffer more posttraumatic stress symptoms.
6.Study on the Interaction between Cefprozil and Bovine Serum Albumin by Spectrometry
China Pharmacy 2015;26(31):4360-4363
OBJECTIVE:To study the interaction of cefprozil (CE) with bovine serum albumine (BSA). METHODS:Under the temperatures of 289,299 and 309 K,the interaction of CE with BSA for 50 min had been studied by fluorescence quenching, UV spectrometry and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. Quenching constant(KSV)and speed constant(Kq)were calculated by Stern-Volmer equation. Static quenching constant(KLB)was obtained by Lineweaver-Burk equation,and UV spectrogram was used to determine the type of quenching. Double logarithmic equation was used to calculate the binding constants (Kb) and the number of binding site(n). Thermodynamic equation was used to obtain ΔH,ΔS,ΔG. Hill's coefficients(nH)was obtained by Hill equa-tion. RESULTS:At three different temperatures,with CE concentration increasing,fluorescence intensity of BSA decreased regular-ly. The value of KSV,Kq,KLB,Kb and n and nH decreased with the temperature increasing. ΔH,ΔS and ΔG were lower than 0. The numbers of binding sites were approximately equal to 1 and nH<1. CONCLUSIONS:CE statically quench the fluorescence of BSA,and the binding of them have been found to certain extent. The process of binding is spontaneous exothermic process. The main binding forces include Hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces,and primary binding site for CE is located at sub-domain ⅡA of BSA. There was some negative cooperative effect. CE would not affect the conformation of BSA. The binding site of CE and BSA is near by tyrosine residue.

Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(2):150-155
This paper introduces the concept,the research paradigms and the related theory of the attentional blink,and reviews the relevant researches about the attentional blink of the children and adults with ADHD in the last 10 years.Compared to normal subjects,children and adults with ADHD did show more severe AB effect,and adults with ADHD showed more eye movement behavior.In future studies,standardized RSVP paradigm should be set up to provide convenience for the comparison of results of studies,and find out what kind of processing restrictions will affect the characteristics of different age ADHD groups in the time dimension of attention.In addition,ADHD and inhibitory control related closely,consideration should be given to the combination of inhibitory control paradigm and AB paradigm.
8.Osteogenic effects of concentrated growth factors applied in maxillary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement:study protocol for a single-center randomized controlled trial
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(4):574-579
BACKGROUND:Maxil ary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach is the most effective method of overcoming the shortage of bone mass deficiency in atrophic maxil ary posterior region. Bone transplantation is considered to be a prerequisite for the success of maxil ary sinus floor elevation. Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin have been used to accelerate bone formation, regeneration, and repair. However, few in-depth studies are reported on the effects of concentrated growth factors on new bone formation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of concentrated growth factors applied in maxil ary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement on repair of bone defects and new bone formation. METHODS:This was a randomized double-blind control ed trial, which was performed at the Hospital of Stomatology, Southwest Medical University, China. Forty patients presenting with loss of maxil ary molars and residual bone height of 2-5 mm in the posterior maxil ary region were included in this study. These patients were randomly assigned to either receive concentrated growth factors, hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone (experimental group, n=20) or hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone (control group, n=20) at bone defect sites. X-ray examination was performed 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery to evaluate bone regeneration and repair as per excel ent and good rate. The thickness of the cortical bone at the defect sites was measured using a dental cone beam CT scanner to reflect bone density. The study protocol had been approved by Ethics Committee of Hospital of Stomatology, Southwest Medical University, China, was performed in strict accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and had been registered with ClinicalTrial.gov (identifier NCT03046173). Written informed consent had been obtained from each patient prior to enrol ment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:This study was completed in 2016. Study outcomes were obtained as fol ows:X-ray images showed that 3 and 6 months after surgery, bone regeneration around the implant was better in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01) and better bone regeneration in the experimental group was observed at 6 months than at 3 months after surgery. At 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery, bone density at bone defect site was significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01). These results suggest that concentrated growth factors applied in maxil ary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement can promote new bone formation and accelerate synosteosis.
9.Rupture risk and treatment strategies of small unruptured intracranial aneurysms
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2015;23(12):945-950
In recent years, w ith the w idespread use of advanced neuroimaging techniques and the aging of the population, more and more asymptomatic smal unruptured intracranial aneurysms (sUIAs) are incidentaly detected in clinical practice. Studies have show n that the prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) is 2%-3% in adults, and more than 2/3 of them are smal aneurysms of < 7 mm in diameter. Usualy these sUIAs do not have any symptoms and the risk of rupture is low er. They are also know n as incidental or asymptomatic aneurysms, but they are not w ithout the risk of rupture. At present, there is no unified opinion about w hether to conduct conservative treatment or surgical clipping or endovascular interventional therapy. This article review s the latest research progress of sUIAs ( < 7 mm in diameter), hoping to provide more evidence for clinical assessment, decision -making, and individual treatment of this kind of aneurysms.
