Objective　To explore the effect of the psychological intervention on the treatment of dental anxiety (DA).Methods Measured with Corah's dental anxiety scale , 316DA patients were selected from department of dentistry and were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group . The psychological intervention as well as regular dental therapeutics were applied to the patients in the intervention group , whereas only regular dental therapeutics were used to those in the control group.Results　The patients had a lower clinical dental anxiety in the intervention group , significantly different from that of the control group ( P＜ 0.01). After the treatment , more patients in the intervention group had a slower pulse than those in the control group and fewer had a faster pulse .The results also showed that the psychological intervention had a better curative effect on male patients than female ( P＜0.05). Conclusion　The psychological intervention was efficient to patients with dental anxiety.

The hTERT gene promoter is a tumor-specific promoter, regulated by a number of factors.Modulation of the chromatin structure via DNA methylation or histone acetylation plays an important role in regulating the hTERT promoter. Recent study also found that glycogen synthase kinase -3 cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor 1, bone inducing factor -7, transcription factors c-myc inhibitor, transforming growth factor β, cyclopentenone prostaglandin regulate the activity of hTERT through various pathways. Telomelysin, the telomerase-specific replication competent oncolytic adenovirus, has been used in clinical settings.Various gene therapies based on hTERT are current under-way.

Multiple chromosomal aberrations, nucleotide substitutions, and epigenetic modifications may occur in human cancer cells, which drive malignant transformation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project aims to promote large-scale multi-dimensional analysis of these molecular characteristics in human cancer and rapidly provide data to researchers. In this study, we introduce four flow paths of the production of TCGA data, the collections of various cancer types, the data category and level, and the standardized pipeline of data analysis, as well as several existing data analytical tools. We used ovarian cancer as an example to introduce the application of the TCGA data in the analyses of mutation, copy number, analysis, and expression. We summarized the important findings of glioblasto-ma by TCGA teams.

Objective To demonstrate clinical value of surgical repair combined with collateral embolization for tetralogy of Fallot with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs).Methods The clinical catheterization and surgical data of 8 such patients from October 2004 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.All 8 patients underwent completely surgical repair combined with MAPCAs occlusion.Of 25 collateral arteries,20 were occluded before surgical procedure and 5 small ones were left.Corrective repairs were accomplished under moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.Ventricular septal defect was closed with Dacron patch,and all patients underwent non-valved autologous right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction.Results No complications were observed,only 1 patient got hypoxemia.Blood returned to left atrium from lung was decreased.During 6 months follow-up,7 cases were in NYHA class Ⅰ,another was in NYHA class Ⅱ.Conclusions In selective patients with dual pulmonary blood supply by both MAPCAs and native pulmonary arteries,this combined therapy of collateral embolization and surgical repair simplifies copmpleling surgical procedure,improves surgical results and achieves higher rate of one-stage repair.

Objective To explore the effect of three shifts on sleep status of nurses in order to supply evidence for improving the nurses' sleeping quality. Methods 111 three shifts nurses and 117 traditional shifts nurses of 3 grade three A hospitals in Guangzhou were investigated for their sleep condition with self-rating scale of sleep (SRSS), and later the results underwentχ2 test and t test. Results There were 55 three shifts nurses with sleeping factor scores of SRSS≥23 (49.5 %), while there were 72 traditional shifts nurses with sleeping factor scores of SRSS≥23 (61.5 %). Compared with traditional shifts nurses, the total mean scores and factor score of three shifts nurses were better except sleeping time and lack of awakening. It is discovered that great sleeping status differences were found among three shifts nurses and traditional shifts nurses between the age of 20 to 30. Conclusions Three shifts can release the pressure of nurses and can improve the nurses' sleeping status to some degree, especially to the juniority nurses' sleeping status,then the nursing safety can be insured.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of the early use of heparin on the prognosis related indicators of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). METHODS:Data of 86 ARDS patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided in-to observation group(45 cases)and control group(41 cases)by whether the early use of heparin. Control group received invasive mechanical ventilation,using end-expiratory pressure(PEEP)ventilation method,enteral nutrition support,nasogastric enteral nu-trition suspension 35-40 kcal/(kg·d);patients with combined infection were given Sodium ceftizoxime for injection 2 g,adding in-to 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 100 mL by intravenously infused,twice a day. Observation group was additionally given Hepa-rin sodium injection 6250 units by continuous intravenously pumped. They were treated for 14 d. The cumulative incidence of dis-seminated intravascular coagulation(DIC),and D-dimer,platelet count(PLT)before treatment and after 3,7,14 d of treatment, IL-6,IL-8,IL-10,TNF-α levels before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RE-SULTS:The cumulative incidence of DIC in observation group was significantly lower than control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the D-dimer,PLT,IL-6,IL-8,IL-10,TNF-α levels, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). After treatment,D-dimer,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α levels in 2 groups were significantly higher than before,while observation group was significantly lower than control group;PLT in 2 groups was significantly lower than before,while observaton group was higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no signifi-cant difference in the IL-10 level in 2 groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). And there were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,early use of heparin can significantly decrease the DIC rick for ARDS patients,which can improve coagulation disorders,reduce inflammatory response,and dose not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

In recent years, the morbidity rate of pediatric asthma showed a rising trend.The typical symptom of recurrent wheezing(＞ 3 times/year) in infants is the starting point for the diagnosis of asthma in children and may be the early clinical manifestation of asthma.Chronic airway inflammation, which inducing airway hyperresponsiveness is the main pathophysiology of recurrent episodes of wheezing.Monitoring of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a simple, fast, effective, and noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma.The concentration of nitric oxide can effectively reflect the airway inflammation and is positively correlated with the severity of airway inflammation.Monitoring airway inflammation is helpful to diagnose and treat the asthmatic children, and for predicting asthma exacerbation, guiding and monitoring the asthma.Thus, this review will discuss FeNO measurements among wheezing infants and asthmatic that have been identified in large-scale studies recently.

Objective To explore the mechanism of diabetic hepatic fibrosis by observing effects of high glucose and insulin on expressions of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) mRNAs of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) in rat.Methods Hepatic stellate cell lines in vitro were administrated by different dose of glucose without insulin and glucose with insulin for 72 h,and mannitol was chosen as hyperosmosis control group.Real time fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction (RT-FQ-PCR) was used to determine expressions of TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 mRNAs of HSC in each group.Results Expressions of TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 mRNAs of HSC in each group could be detected and showed no significant difference among groups (P ＞ 0.05).However,in general,expression of TGF-β1 mRNA in glucose with insulin group decreased and TIMP-1 mRNA increased.Conclusions The mRNA expressions of TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 in HSC could not be induced by high glucose alone,high dose of insulin may increase expressions of HSC TIMP-1 and reduce TGF-β1 expression.The main mechanisms of diabetic hepatic fibrosis may not be TGF-β1 pathway but be closely related to TIMP-1 pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of amikacin different administrations in the treatment of ventila-tor-associated pneumonia. METHODS:Data of 109 patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia were divided into observation group (58 cases) and control group (51 cases) based on different administrations. All patients received 3.0 g Ceftriaxone sodium for injection,adding into 100 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,intravenously,once every 12 h. Based on it,control group re-ceived 7.5 mg/kg Amikacin sulfate injection,once a day. Observation group received 7.5 mg/kg Amikacin sulfate injection,adding into 20 ml 0.45% Sodium chloride injection,aerosol inhalation,twice a day. The treatment course for both groups was 7 d. Clini-cal pulmonary infection score (CPIS),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),serum creatinine (Cr),oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), IL-10,IL-6,C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,cumulative mortality after 3 months of treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions before and after treatment in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the CPIS score,ALT,Cr,PaO2/FiO2,IL-10,IL-6,CRP and TNF-α levels in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,CPIS score,TNF-α,IL-6 and CRP levels in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,observation group was low-er than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in IL-10 before and after treatment in 2 groups(P>0.05). PaO2/FiO2 in observation group and ALT,Cr and PaO2/FiO2 in control group were signif-icantly higher than before,PaO2/FiO2 in observation group was higher than control group,ALT and Cr were significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The cumulative mortality after 3 months of treatment in observation group was significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). And there were no severe adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of amikacin by aerosol inhalation is superior to by in-travenous infusion in the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia,it can effectively reduce inflammatory cytokine levels and mortality rate,do not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.
