Objective: To observe the effect of Shenfu Injection on carcinemia and study its mechanism.Methods: Mice C57 Lewis lung cancer model were established.The changes of physiological conditions(body weight,food and water intake),the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),interleukin-6(IL-6) and interleukin-1(IL-1) were observed in the experiment.Results: Shenfu Injection can signifi cantly increase water and food intake of carcinemia mice,and inhibited the loss of body weigh(P

Objective To study the clinical distribution characteristics of psychiatric symptoms in patients with multiple system atrophy ( MSA ) and analyze the influence factors of neuropsychiatric symptoms.Methods Twelve psychiatric symptoms were evaluated in 47 patients with MSA by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory of the Chinese version ( CNPI ) .The occurrence rate and distribution were evaluated.The correlation between the neuropsychiatric symptoms and the clinical features including gender , age, education duration, disease course, cognitive level, Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale part 3 ( UMSARS-Ⅲ) score, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part 3 ( UPDRS-Ⅲ) score, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale ( HAMD) score, Hamilton Anxiety Scale ( HAMA) score, MSA subtype and levodopa and benserazide usage dose was also analyzed .Results A total of 74.5%( 35/47 ) of the MSA patients presented at least one kind of psychiatric symptoms .The most common neuropsychiatric symptoms were depression (66.0%, 31/47) and sleep disorder (63.8%, 30/47), while the symptom of euphoria was not found.The highest mean score was found for depression ( mean score:5.23 ±1.67 ) .The CNPI scores of MSA patients were negatively correlated to the education duration and Simple Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (r=-0.238, -0.334 respectively, both P<0.01).The CNPI scores of MSA patients were positively correlated to the disease course and HAMD score ( r=0.308, 0.307 respectively, both P<0.01) .The CNPI scores of MSA patients had no relevance to the gender , age, UMSARS-Ⅲscore, UPDRS-Ⅲscore, MSA subtype and levodopa and benserazide dosage ( all P>0.05). Multiple liner regression analysis showed that HAMA and MMSE scores had the greatest impact on CNPI (r2 =0.196, 0.270, respectively, both P=0.000) .Conclusions The incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms is high and varied in patients with MSA .The neuropsychiatric symptoms were more severe in MSA patients with lower cognitive levels and longer disease courses .
