Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Tiao Shen Kai Yu (regulating mind and anti-depression) needling plus mental intervention in treating mild post-stroke depression. Method A total of 100 eligible subjects with mild post-stroke depression were randomized into a control group and an observation group, 50 cases in each group. The two groups were both intervened by basic treatment, while the control group was additionally given mental intervention and the observation group was given Tiao Shen Kai Yu needling plus mental intervention. The two groups were treated once a day, 5 times a week, for 30 d in total. The Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were observed before and after the treatment. Result The HAMD scores were both significantly improved in the two groups after the treatment (P<0.01), and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The SDS scores were significantly improved after the treatment in both groups (P<0.01), and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion Tiao Shen Kai Yu needling plus mental intervention can more effectively improve mild post-stroke depression than single mental intervention.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between Narcotrend index (NI) and the depth of anesthesia during inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and compare NI with BIS values in patients.Methods Sixtytwo ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-60 yr,weighing 44-100kg,scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Sevoflurane inhalation was started at 5 min after endotracheal intubation.When the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (ETsevo) reached 0.6％,0.9％,1.3％,1.6％,2.1％,2.4％,2.9％,3.2％,3.8％ and 4.2％,NI and BIS values were recorded simultaneously.Results The correlation coefficients between ETsevo and NI and BIS values were-0.627 (r1) and-0.669 (r2) respectively when ETsevo ＜ 2.9％,and-0.608 (r3) and-0.230 (r4) respectively when 2.9％ ≤ ETsevo ≤4.2％ (P ＜ 0.01).Comparison of the absolute value of correlation coefficients:no significant difference was found between r1,r2 and r3 (P ＞ 0.05) ; r1,r2 and r3 were significantly greater than r4 (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion When ETsevo 4.2％,NI values can accurately reflect the depth of anesthesia; when 2.9％ ≤ ETsevo ≤4.2％,the accuracy of NI values in monitoring the depth of anesthesia is superior to that of BIS values.

Objective To investigate the effect of life style combined with dietary intervention on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Method One hundred and twenty five subjects of NAFLD with overweight and obesity,aged 30-60 years,were enrolled in the study from the group for physical examination in Health Administration Center of our hospital during 2006-2007.They were diagnosed to be 48 mild,70 moderate and 7 severe cases by ultrasonic tomography.A regime of dietary intervention combined with exercise was planned according to 3 d dietary survey before intervention.They were asked to follow the therapeutic menus and exercise instruction during 12 mon of the study.We followed up the subjects and gave them instructions regularly in the whole period of study.Results After 12 mon interven-tion,the body weight(BW),body mass index(BMI),waist-hip ratio(WHR),serum total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and alanine glutamate aminotransferase(ALT) of the subjects were decreased significantly.High density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) was not changed.By ultrasonic tomography,16% of the subjects recovered to normal,and 77 moderate to severe cases deceased to 31,with reduction rate 59.7%.Conclusion Good therapeutic effects were observed after 12 mon of dietary intervention combined with rational exercise.

Objective To investigate gene expression patterns of atherosclerosis (As) induced by homocysteine (Hcy). Methods Total RNAs were isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 3 inpatients who had no traditional risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD). They were one with normal coronary angiography and plasma Hcy level , one CHD patient with normal plasma Hcy level, and one CHD patient with high plasma homocysteine level . The RNAs were reversely transcribed to the cDNAs to prepare the hybridization probes. The probes were hybridized to the gene chip with 1152 genes to study gene expression patterns. Results There were 177 differentially expressed genes between the CHD patient with high plasma homocysteine level and the patient with normal coronary angiography and plasma Hcy level (group 1) . There were 151 differentially expressed genes between the CHD patient with high plasma homocysteine level and the CHD patient with normal plasma Hcy level (group 3) . A parallel comparison between group 1 and group 3 gene chips showed that there were 48 differentially expressed genes in common , of which there were 25 down-regulated and 23 up-regulated genes.Conclusions Among the differentially expressed genes, some are involved in the functions of apoptosis, signal transduction, immunology, translation of protein and proto-oncogene, etc. They had potential values in genesis of As induced by Hcy. The study based on gene chip in researching the differentially expressed genes of As induced by Hcy will provide new clues for finding out the pathogenesis of As.
