BACKGROUND: Nervousness, anxiety and depression are important inducing factors of migraine, while nervousness, anxiety and depression are closely correlated with the unreasonable belief and incorrect strategy. Medicine therapy is the principal method in the treatment of migraine at present, but it cannot change the unreasonable belief of the patients and thereby to reducethe occurrence of the inducing factors of headache.OBJECTIVE: To observe the near term and long term therapeutic effects of medicine therapy and rational emotional behavior therapy(REBT) to provide a safer and more effective intervention for the patients with migraine and thereby to improve their long term quality of life(QOL).DESIGN: An observatory comparative study based on patients with migraine as subjects and healthy population as controls.SETTING: A psychological consultation clinic of a municipal hospital(has been canceled now).PARTICIPANTS: Totally 86 cases of migraine including 34 males and 52females aged between 16 and 48 years old(means of 35 years old) with a course of disease between 2 and 11 years were selected from the Psychological Consultation Clinic of the 289 Hospital between March 1999 and October 2001. All 86 cases were randomly divided into REBT group and medicine group with 43 cases each. There was no significant difference of age, gender,course of the disease, situation of the disease, and education background between two groups. Another 30 healthy individuals including 12 males and 18 females with a mean age of 36 years old were selected in control group.METHODS: REBT was applied for patients in REBT group. Patients of medicine group received 50-100 mg/day of Amitriptyline and 60 mg/day of nimodipine through oral administration. Patients received 12 weeks of therapy followed by 24 weeks of observation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Therapeutic scale score on migraine (TSSM), before and after migraine-correlated potential(P300) and symptoms checklist 90 (SCL-90) scores were compared.RESULTS: SCL-90 total points of two groups of patients were significantly higher than that of control group( P < 0.05); after 12 weeks of therapy,TSSM, SCL-90 total points and points of major factors of two groups of patients were significantly lower compared with the situations before therapy( P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between two therapy groups; on the 12th week after therapy, SCL-90 total points, points for major factors and TSSM, and P300 latency of REBT group were almost as the same as that after 12 weeks of therapy and the wave amplitude of P300 significantly elevated; owever, the differences in SCL-90 total points, points of major factors, and the TSSM in medicine group were significant compared with that after 12 weeks of therapy( P < 0.05) . There was significant difference at the same period between two therapy groups ( P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: REBT can reduce the attacks of migraine, decrease TSSM,and has similar therapeutic effects to medicine group. Simultaneously, it can ameliorate the cognitive disorder, change the unreasonable belief of the patients, and improve the strategy to cope with the disease; hence its long term therapeutic effect is better than medicine therapy.

Objective To investigate the roles of c-reactive protein (CRP) in the onset of dysthymia and its effects on the therapeutic efficacy. Methods Ninety six patients with dysthymia (male:37, female: 59) were examined using Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) to determine their status of depression at 2 months before and after treatment with fluoxetine. Another 50 normal subjects were employed as the controls. CRP levels were measured by scatter turbidimetry by TurboxR special protein analysis system (Finland) in all subjects. Results All depression scores of normal subjects according to HAMD depression scale were under 17 and their serum CRP concentrations were at a basic level. The prevalence rate of increase of serum c-reactive protein in dysthymia was 43.8%(42/96). The average serum CRP level in patients with dysthymia was significantly higher than that in normal subjects (P0.05). Conclusion Serum CRP concentration maybe an important evoking factor of dysthymia. It may not increase the severity of depression but may impede the early improvement of symptoms.

This study sought to synthesize a triple helix-forming phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (TFO-ps) and assess its effects on coagulation activity of the tissue factor(TF) and TF gene expression in endothelial cells. Experiment antiparallel oligodeoxynucleotides T21GTa sequence was designed and synthesized by phosphoramidite method and decorated with all-PS linkage. The affinity of TFO and TFO-ps was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assays(EMSA). Cellular uptake of [32]P-labeled TFO-ps and the effect of TFO-ps on TF gene expression and coagulation activity of TF were measured in endothelial cell strain ECV304. The results showed that TFO-ps (T21GTa-ps) formed a triplex binding in antiparallel orientation to the puring-rich target strand-SSRE, with Kd value of 3.6 x 10(-10) M. The uptake rate of TFO-ps (T21GTa-ps) in ECV304 was about 11.65%. This compound mainly localized within the nucleus sediment(77.25%), significantly reduced the average OD of the mRNA expression and protein synthesis of TF gene, and obviously decreased the coagulation activity of TF. In conclusion, TFO-ps (T21GTa-ps) shows obvious anti-coagulation activity and its mechanism involves the inhibition of TF gene expression.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare the safety and efficacy of prone and modified recumbent positions on minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
METHODS:
A total of 62 patients with upper urinary calculi were grouped into two groups, one of which consisted of 27 patients who underwent the minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy with modified recumbent position, and the other 35 patients with prone position. There was no significant statistical difference in the age, gender and complications between the two groups before surgery (P>0.05). Duration of and blood loss during surgery, complications in the perioperative period, and the length of postoperative hospital stay were all recorded. The data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0.
RESULTS:
Surgery was successful in all cases. There was no failure to puncture nor need to resort to open surgery. Average operation duration for the modified recumbent position group was (85.1± 25.3) min vs (97.2±30.6) min for the prone position group. Mean blood loss during the operation was (117.5± 49.7) mL vs (149.3±53.1) mL. There were no severe complications during and after surgery in the modified recumbent position group. In the prone position group, s one patient suffered pneumothorax during the operation and two suffered selective renal artery embolization because of massive hemorrhaging following the operation. There were significant differences in blood loss during surgery, in complications during the perioperative period, and in length of postoperative stay in hospital (P<0.05) between the two groups.
CONCLUSION
The patients are safer and more easily tolerate the minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the modified recumbent position than in the prone position, though the treatment efficacy of these two kinds of operation is similar. It is recommended that the modified recumbent position should be used generally in the percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
