Objective To survey the prevalence of the pulmonary function test in Liaoning province and investigate the cognition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD）patients to the test.Methods One hundred and twenty nine comprehensive hospitals of Grade Three and Grade Two have been included to survey the prevalence of the pulmonary function test by telephone.A cross-sectional study was carried out among 206 COPD outpatients to investigate their cognition to the pulmonary function test.Results The total prevalence of the hospitals with the equipment and ability to do pulmonary function tests was only 51.2%.The prevalence of the hospitals of Grade Three（79.4%）was higher than that of the hospitals of Grade Two（24.2%）.In 206 COPD patients,100 cases（48.5%）had been provided with pulmonary function test,53 cases（25.73%）had been diagnosed as COPD in the past.The patients diagnosed as COPD accounted for 33.8% of all chronic bronchitis patients surveyed.The span during the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis and the definitive diagnosis of COPD was 11.79±10.96 years.Conclusion The prevalence of pulmonary function test in Liaoning province is relatively low,especially in the comprehensive hospitals of Grade Two.Few chronic bronchitis patients received pulmonary function test.Thus the time span from the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis to definitive diagnosis of COPD is long as well.

The pathologic changes of cerebral tissues in hypothyroidism and the molecular mechanism of brain development influenced by lower thyroid hormone levels are reviewed.

Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of intensified cyclic training on bone moulding reconstruction, and to found the scientific basis of intensific cyclic training as a new training methods. Methods 48 male rats were equally divided into two groups: intensive repetitive training group and control group. The upper segment of tibia was harvested from the animals at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th week after the onset of the experiment for the measurement of cortical thickness (CT), mean wall thickness (MWT) and the percentage of osseous surface of trabeculae and surface area of trabecular Absorption (Sr). The data of intensive repetitive trained group were compared with those of the control group. 1 303 recruits were divided into control group and experimental group. In the experimental group, they were trained by intensive repetitive training program instead of the traditional training program. The incidence of stress fracture was compared between two groups. Results CT (1.37?0.09, 1.86?0.14, 1.94?0.23), MWT (56.37?2.52, 57.28?3.01, 58.23?2.93) and Sos (12.29?1.17, 14.61?1.84, 15.51?1.13) were higher in the training group than control groups at the fourth week, the fifth week and the sixth week, respectively (P

Objective To investigate the feasibility and results of the application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap in total ear reconstruction with Medpor framework.Methods The main procedures consisted of three stages:stage Ⅰ-skin expansion,stage Ⅱ auricle formation that consisted of orientation of Medpor implant and creation of coverage for the implant by both expaned skin flap and temporoparietal fascia flap,and stage Ⅲ-treatment of residual ear and recontruction of auricular lobule. Results Twenty-two ears in 22 unilateral microtia patients were constructed using Medpor implants covered with both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap over the last three years,and they were accepted as pleasing by the patients.Conclusions Application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap can assure no extrusion of Medpor implant in ear reconstruction.Further more,the two layers of transferred tissues will not affect the profile details of the reconstructed ear.And because the skin covering the framework and fascia is derived from frommastoid region,the appearance and profile of the reconstructed auricle is true to nature and close to that of the opposite one.

Objective To observe the changes of the blood pressure after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) as well as the expressions of α2A-adrenergic receptor (AR) in center (brain tissue) and peripheral (renal tissue) α1A-AR and to investigate the correlation between α1A-AR/α2A-AR and blood pressure regulation in acute hypertensive ICH. Methads A total of 30 six-month-old male SHRs were randomly divided into a sham-operation group and ICH (day 1,3, 7 and 14) groups (n =6 in each group). Blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method. Collagenase Ⅳ was injected into caudate-puta-men nucleus to induce a model of ICH. The expressions of α1A-AR and α2A-AR were detected by using immunohistochemistry and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results One day after ICH, the blood pressure was 195.4 ± 8.39 mm Hg, and it was significantly higher than 177.8 ± 8.69 mm Hg (P = 0. 000) before ICH and 184. 1 ± 3.76 mm Hg in the sham-operation group (P=0. 002). At day 3 it was 185.3 ±9.22 mm Hg, and it was lower than that at day 1. It was 177.7 ±5.62 mm Hg and 176.7 ±6. 06 mm Hg at day7 and 14 respectively, which almost returned to the normal level before ICH. The α1A-AR mRNA and protein in renal tissue at day 1 after ICH were 0. 91 ±0. 013 and 0. 944 ±0. 142%, respectively, They were higher than 0. 89 ±0. 018 and0. 779 ±0. 103% in the sham-operation group, and they reached the peak (0. 93 ±0.015, P =0.008; 1.526 ± 0.296%, P =0.010) at day 3. The α2A-AR mRNA and protein in brain tissue were 0. 93 ±0. 020 and 2.64 ±0. 293% at day 3 after ICH, and they were significantly higher than 0. 86 ±0. 019 (P =0. 001) and 1. 070 ±0. 155% (P = 0. 020), and0.87 ±0. 029 (P =0. 000) at day 1 after ICH and 1. 629 ±0. 488% (P =0. 023) in the sham-operation group. The changes of blood pressure in the ICH day 1 to day 7 grottos in SHRs and correlation coefficient of α2A-AR mRNA absorbance in brain tissue r was - 0. 509 (P = 0.031), and the correlation coefficient of α2A-AR protein-expression volume fraction in brain tissue r was - 0. 473 (P = 0. 047). Conelusions Regulation of blood pressure during acute ICH may have certain correlation with the up-expressions of α2A-AR in brain tissue and α1A-AR in renal tissue.

BACKGROUND: Monoamine hypothesis has been demonstrated by researches. However, the correlation between the metabolite of plasma monoamine neurotransmitter and anti-depression treatment in patients with depression has less been reported.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different drugs on metabolite of plaama monoamine neurotransmitter, and the correlation between the metabolite of plasma monoamine neurotransmitter and anti-depression treatment in patients with depression.DESIGN: Case controlled study.SETTING: Neurological Department and Brain Institute of Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Forty patients with depression hospitalized in Nanjing Brain Hospital (depression group) were diagnosed with the second revised edition of China classification of mental diseases(CCMD-2) and the tenth edition of International classification of diseases. And the total score of Hanmilton rating scale for depression(HAMD) was more than 17. Healthy voluntary blood donators in the control group were from Nanjing Municipal Central Blood Station( n = 20).INTERVENTIONS: Antidepressant was used in the depression for 4 weeks: fluoxetine 20 mg per day; 5-serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine 20 mg per day; venlafaxime 50- 100 mg per day;5-serotonin and morepinephrine selective reuptake inhibitor(SNRI) fluvoxamine 50-100 mg per day. High performance liquid chromatograpy(HPLC)was used to measure the level of metabolite of plasma monoamine neurotransmitter in patients with depression before and 42 week after treatment, and the HAMD was used to evaluate clinical effect of the patients.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The levels of metabolites of plasma monoamine neurotransmitters in patients with depression: 5-hydroxyindoleace tic acid(5-HIAA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol(MHPG) and homovani llic acid(HVA) were measured before and 4th week after treatment.RESULTS: The levels of 5-HIAA, MHPG and HVA of the metabolites of plasma monoamine neurotransmitters in patients with depression before treatment [ (20.3±14.6), (124.8±103.6), (54.7±32.1) μg/L] were all lower than those in the normal control group[ (39.5±28.4), (334.5 ±107.3), (88.5±37.2) μg/L], with statistically significant differences (P＜0.05). After SSRI treatment, the 5-HIAA content[ (37.1±21.9)μg/L]was significantly increased as compared with that before treatment, whose difference indicated significant meaning ( P＜0.05), but the differences in MHPG and HVA had no significant meaning as compared with those before treatment(P＞0.05) . After SNRI treatment, 5-HIAA and MHPG contents [(35.4±25.2 ), (291.2±120.4) μg/L] both were significantly increased, which indicated significant difference as compared with those before treatment( P＜0.05); but HVA level had no significant changes.CONCLUSION:'The peripheral neurotransmitter metabolites in plasma can reflect their states in brain. The change of neurotransmitter metabolite in plasma can be regarded as an important reference index for the evaluation of depression.

Objective To study the function and diurnal variation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid(HPT) axis,and the relationship with clinical characteristics of di-urnal rhythm in depressed patients. Methods Forty-nine depressed patients met diagnostic DSM-Ⅳ criteria and thirty-eight normal controls were collected. The plasma levels of cortisol (CORT), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), T3, T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) at 7 am and 7 pm were measured by radioimmunoassay, then the results concemed were compared among the depressed groups with and without diurnal variation and control group by multivariate analysis of variance. Results The plasma level of morning CORT, morning and evening TSH ((365.94±120.78) nmol/L; (6.24±2.47)μIU/ml; (6.68±2.42)μIU/ml; respectively) were respective-ly higher than those of control group((284.91±83.39) nmol/L; (3.82±1.75)μIU/ml;(4.01±1.69)μIU/ ml, P<0.05). The plasma levels of morning and evening T4 were significantly lower than those of control group(P <0.05). The CORT morning-evening difference variable distinguished between depressed and control group (P< 0.001),but no significant differences could be found between the depressed groups with and without diurnal varia-tion. There were no significant differences in the CORT, T3, T4, TSH morning-evening difference variable between various clinical subtypes of depressed patient (unipolar/bipolar; psychotic/nonpsychotic). Conclusion Abnormal CORT morning-evening difference variable was observed in the depressed patients compared with normal controls,and may be used as a special trait mark of depressed group.
