A total of 100 insomniacs were randomly divided into intervention and contrast groups (n=50 each).The contrast group took only alprazolam while the intervention group received both alprazolam and other comprehensive regimens,including acupuncture,psychotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.One course of treatment lasted 10 days for both groups and 6 courses were offered.After comprehensive interventions,as compared with contrast group,the scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) decreased obviously in intervention group (P < 0.05).And the curative rate (46%) and the total efficacious rate (96%) of intervention group were higher than those of contrast group (P < 0.05).

Objective To preliminarily develop a lifestyle self-assessment scale being suitable for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and test its reliability and validity.Methods 98 patients with PCOS were surveyed by behavior questionnaire including somatic symptom,psychological behavior,life habits and social function.The lifestyle self-assessment scale for PCOS including 19 items was generated by factor analysis with cutting items and adjusting structure and tests of the reliability and validity.Then,40 patients with PCOS and 40healthy controls were surveyed to test the scale' discriminant validity.ResultsThe lifestyle self-assessment scale for PCOS was consisted by 19 items which generated 5 factors (each characteristic root > 1,cumulative rate =56.625% ).The Crunbach' sα was 0.626 ~ 0.826 and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.709 ~0.822.There were significant differences in three factors containing exercise consciousness,physique cognition and rhythm of life in the scale between PCOS and control group.Conclusion This scale accords with the living habits characteristics of PCOS patients and can provide guidance and basis for lifestyle intervention.

BACKGROUND:Slow growth of peripheral nerve, muscle denervation atrophy and fossilization of motor end plate fol owing sciatic nerve injury cause irreversible limb function disorders. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have been widely used in multi-disciplinary research, but studies concerning umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells delaying denervated muscle atrophy in rats fol owing peripheral nerve injury are rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the value of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transplantation to delay denervated muscle atrophy of rats after sciatic nerve injury.
METHODS:Umbilical cord blood was col ected from healthy parturient woman after ful-term delivery. In the experimental group, the rat’s Sunderland IV degree sciatic nerve injury model was established by 5 mm denervation, epineurial repair, and 5 mm smal gap transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. In the control group, after modeling, the same volume of normal saline was injected into the smal gap. The main outcome measures included the sciatic nerve function index, the wet weight of triceps surae,sciatic nerve latency, action potential conduction velocity and amplitude,and skeletal muscle fiber cross section area maintenance rate.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 4, 8 and 12 weeks of modeling, the sciatic nerve function index values, the wet weight of triceps surae and skeletal muscle fiber cross section area maintenance rates in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). After 12 weeks of modeling, electromyography results showed sciatic nerve latency was significantly lower, but action potential conduction velocity and amplitude were dramatical y higher in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.001). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in denervated muscle atrophy rats after sciatic nerve promotes nerve growth, delays denervated muscle atrophy, maintains the denervatied neuromusle’s morphology and function.

Purpose:
This study attempted to detect the changes of cervical cancer screening rate and willingness among female migrants, and the associated socio-demographic factors in Shenzhen city.
Materials and Methods:
Two citywide surveys were conducted using a multistage random cluster sampling method in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Data on demographic characteristics, screening participation, and willingness to screen were collected. Logistic regression models were applied to detect possible associated socio-demographic characteristics, and their variations with survey years.
Results:
In total, 12,017 female migrants were enrolled, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 36.73 (6.55) years. From 2011 to 2014, the screening rate increased (25.8% vs. 35.1%, p < 0.001), while the willingness to screen remained stable (82.2% vs. 82.8%, p=0.46). Overall, socio-demographic characteristics of female migrants, including age, marital status, education, monthly income, employment, and medical insurance, were found to be positively associated with screening participation. Similar impacts in relation to willingness were observed except for age. However, these associations varied with survey years, mainly in the contributions of education and monthly income to screening participation, as well as age, monthly income, and medical insurance to willingness of being screened.
Conclusion
Identifying changes of associated socio-demographic factors precisely is warranted of necessity, which provides novel clues to adjust targeted actions regularly in promoting cervical cancer screening participation among female migrants in Shenzhen.

Objective:To compare the difference between breast bracket combined with polyurethane foam and single polyurethane foam in the accuracy of immobilization, providing a better immobilization for breast cancer radiotherapy.Methods:Fifty breast cancer patients who received radiotherapy in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from March 2021 to July 2021 were selected. Among them, 25 patients were immobilized with polyurethane foam (foam group), and the other 25 patients were immobilized with polyurethane foam combined with breast bracket (combination group). All patients were scanned by CBCT once a week to obtain setup errors in the SI, LR and AP directions for t-test. The formula M PTV=2.5 Σ+0.7 σ was used to calculate the margin of the planning target volume(M PTV). Results:The setup errors in the foam group were SI (2.0±3.26) mm, LR (0.88±2.76) mm, AP (1.22±3.55) mm, Rtn -0.24°±0.85°, Pitch 0.16°±1.11°, Roll -0.32°±1.05°, and the M PTV were 6.75 mm, 8.46 mm and 8.73 mm, respectively. The setup errors in the combination group were SI (1.0±3.01) mm, LR (0.62±2.74) mm, AP (1.82±3.21) mm, Rtn 0.64°±0.59°, Pitch 0.71°±1.22°, Roll 0.29°±0.73°, and the M PTV were 6.35 mm, 7.47 mm, and 7.61 mm, respectively. After comparing the setup errors in the three-dimensional directions between two groups, the t value of LR, SI, AP and Rtn, Pitch, Roll was -4.304, -2.681, 1.384, and -9.457, -3.683, -5.323, respectively. And the differences in the LR, SI, Rtn, Pitch and Roll directions were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The immobilization effect of polyurethane foam combined with breast bracket is better and the M PTV is also smaller than those of polyurethane foam alone. Therefore, it is recommended to use polyurethane foam combined with breast bracket for immobilization in breast cancer radiotherapy.
