Sudden visual loss is a group of diseases of retina, with emotional factors being an important pathogeny. On the basis of summarizing the relationship between the psychological features of the sudden visual loss and seven emotional factors, we explore the application of the seven emotional factors in sudden visual loss, in order to treat a disease by looking into both its body and mind and enhance its therapeutic effects.

Objective To observe the impact of the five-emotion restrictive therapy on coronary heart disease. Methods109 hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into a experimental of 56 patients and a control group of 53 patients according to length of stay. The control group was treated with the conventional therapy; the experimental group was imposed five-emotion restrictive psychological intervention on the basis of conventional therapy. The investigation was done using self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS) on 1 day after admission and ld before discharge respectively. SAS and SDS scores were surveyed. At the same time Holter monitoring and normal ECG test were compared. Results Compared with control group, the experimental group 1 d before discharge of the SAS and SDS scores were (41.9±7.4) and (38.6±8.4), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . The total effective rate of Holter monitoring and normal ECG was 64.15% and 92.85% in the control and experimental group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01) . ConclusionThe pathological seven emotions have a certain affection on the incidence of coronary heart disease, treatment and prognosis of the course. Five-emotion restrictive psychological intervention can adjust timely psychological state of patients, eliminate negative emotions, and significantly help the incidence, treatment and prognosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of lipid metabolism disorder in mouse spleen tissues due to high-altitude hypoxia.Methods Ten C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into normoxia group(maintained at an altitude of 400 m)and high-altitude hypoxia group(maintained at 4200 m)for 30 days(n=5).Lipidomics and metabolomics analyses of the spleen tissue of the mice were conducted using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)to identify the differential metabolites,which were further analyzed by KEGG enrichment and pathway analyses,and the differential genes were screened through transcriptome sequencing.Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify the upstream target genes of the differential metabolites in specific metabolic pathways.RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect mRNA expressions of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1(HSD11B1),steroid 5α reductase 1(SRD5A1),prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1(PTGS1),hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthetase(HPGDS),xanthine dehydrogenase(XDH),purine nucleoside phosphorylase(PNP),hypoxanthine guanine-phosphoribosyltransferase(HPRT)and extracellular 5'-nucleotidase(NT5E)and protein expressions of HSD11B1,SRD5A1,XDH,PNP and HPRT in the mouse spleens.Results We identified a total of 41 differential lipid metabolites in the mouse spleens,and these metabolites and the differential genes were enriched in steroid hormone biosynthesis,arachidonic acid metabolism,and purine metabolism pathways.Compared to the mice kept in normoxic conditions,the mice exposed to high-altitude hypoxia showed significantly upregulated expressions of adrenosterone,androsterone,prostaglandin D2,prostaglandin J2,xanthine,xanthosine,and uric acid in the spleen with also changes in the expression levels of HSD11B1,SRD5A1,PTGS1,HPGDS,XDH,PNP,HPRT,and NT5E.Conclusion High-altitude hypoxia can result in lipid metabolism disorder in mouse spleen tissue by affecting steroid hormone biosynthesis,arachidonic acid metabolism,and purine metabolism pathways.

Objective:To establish a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) assay for Corynebacterium ( C.) striatum, explore the population structure and evolution relationship of clinical isolates of C. striatum. Methods:Seven housekeeping genes ( gyrA, gyrB, hsp65, sodA, secA1, rpoB, 16S rRNA) were amplified with PCR by using self-designed specific primers and sequenced. Then, the sequences were assembled with software SeqMan. The gene diversity and gene recombination characteristics were evaluated by using software DnaSP 5.10.01 and Splits tree 4.14.2. The phylogenetic tree and the minimum spanning tree were constructed based on the sequence types (ST) characteristics by using software MEGA 7.0.14 and BioNumerics, respectively. In addition, the genetic evolutionary relationship among STs were analyzed by using software eBURST 3.0. Results:The expected amplification products of seven sites selected in all the test strains were obtained. Splits tree showed that the clustering of all C. striatum strains was consistent, suggesting that gene recombination is the potential driving force for the evolution of C. striatum. All of the 344 C.striatum strains were divided into 72 STs by MLST and 85.7% of the strains formed clonal complexes. CC19 was the predominant clonal complex, whereas ST16 in the clonal complex was detected in the most strains. ST had a certain geographic clustering and a certain correlation with the isolation time. Conclusions:C. striatum showed high genetic diversity in China and CC19 was the predominant clonal complex. The MLST assay established in this study can be used for the typing of C. striatum, but further improvement is needed.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE:To compare the effectiveness and economics of peramivir and oseltamivir in the treatment of influenza complicated with febrile seizures in children. METHODS:In retrospective study,152 children with influenza complicated with febrile seizures were collected from our hospital during Dec. 2018 to Mar. 2019.They were divided into peramivir group(81 cases) and oseltamivir group (71 cases). Fever remission time, medication duration, hospital duration, clinical efficacy (determined by convulsion,cough,nasal obstruction,runny nose,sore throat,etc.),the incidence of rash,the number of children with combined antibiotic and TCM were compared between 2 groups. Cost-effectiveness analysis was used to evaluate cost-effectiveness ratio(CER)and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)of medication regimen in 2 groups. The sensitivity analysis of the effect and total cost were carried out with Logistic regression and multiple linear regression respectively through CER and ICER calculated by reducing 15% drug price. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in fever remission time, medication duration,hospitalization duration,the incidence of rash and proportion of children with combined antibiotics between 2 groups(P>0.05). There was statistical significance in proportion of children with combined TCM and clinical effect,and the proportion of children with combined TCM in peramivir group was significantly lower than oseltamivir group(P<0.001). Clinical effect of peramivir group was significantly better than that of oseltamivir group(P=0.021). Total cost of peramivir group and oseltamivir group were 5 442.84 yuan/person and 5 571.71 yuan/person(P=0.795);CER of them were 54.47 and 56.51;ICER of peramivir group was - 89.38. The results of sensitivity analysis were consistent with those of basic analysis.CONCLUSIONS: Compared with oseltamivir,peramivir is more effective and less costly for children with influenza and febrile seizures.
