Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative individuation mental nursing on operative patients. Methods 56 cases of patients with operation were randomly divided into experiment group and control group.The patients in the experiment group were applied with preope rative individuation mental nursing and routine nursing care ,while only received routine nursing care in the control group. The alteration of blood pressure,heart rate and anxiety of patients before and after intervention was evaluated. Results The blood pressure,heart rate and anxiety level of experimental group became better than the control group. Conclusion Personalized preoperative psychological care can to stabilize mood and reduce anxiety, so it was an effective way to make operation successful.

Objective To explore the value of the diagnosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis with transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD). Methods The clinical data in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease examined with digital subtract angiography (DSA)and TCD were analyzed retrospectively. DSA was used as a gold standard to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of MCA stenosis with TCD. The normal and TCD blood flow velocity with different degrees of stenosis were compared. The best cut-off point of the TCD blood flow velocity of MCA at different degree of stenosis was calculated. Results DSA confirmed that 103 patients had MCA stenosis or occlusion, in which 12 were mild stenosis, 22 were moderate stenosis, 40 were severe stenosis, and 39 were occlusion. Compared to DSA, the sensitivity of TCD in detection of moderate and severe MCA stenosis or occlusion was 78. 8%, the specificity was 96. 0%, and the accuracy was 93. 0%, the missed diagnosis rate was 21. 2%, and the misdiagnosis rate was 4. 0%. As to the blood flow velocity, there was no significant difference between the mild stenosis and normal groups; while there was significant difference between the moderate stenosis and normal groups (P ＜0. 001). In addition, there was no significant difference in blood flow velocity between the moderate stenosis and severe stenosis groups. Determining the cut-off value of the best peak systolic velocity of the moderate stenosis was 163. 5 cm/s, while the best cut-off value of the mean velocity was 108. 5 cm/s. Conclusions TCD has certain advantages in the diagnosis of the MCA stenosis or occlusion, and it can be used as a safe and inexpensive screening means before DSA examination.

The samples of muscular tissue from pork,beef and lamb which were closely related in the genetic relationship were analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC-MS) technique.The specific peptide biomarkers of pig meat species were found and confirmed.Proteins from three pure meat samples were extracted and digested using trypsin,the digested proteins were identified by UPLC-triple time-of-flight (TOF)-MS,and the total ion chromatogram (TIC) was searched and analyzed against the UniProt database.Three high abundant homologous proteins of three species and 8 potential peptide biomarkers of pork were found.A multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) QTRAP-MS method was established to confirm the specificity of potential peptide biomarkers.As a result,five peptide biomarkers of pig species meat were confirmed,three of which were not reported.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the polymorphism of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase(ALAD) and the genetic susceptibility to lead toxicity in Uighur and Yi population in China.

METHODSThe ALAD genotypes were determined by PCR and MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques in 214 Uighur individuals from Xinjiang autonomous region and 144 Yi individuals from Yunnan province. The correlation between the polymorphism of ALAD and blood lead levels, and the factors affecting the latter were explored.

RESULTSThe frequencies of the allele ALAD1 and ALAD2 in Uighur are 0.91 and 0.09; and in Yi are 0.98 and 0.02 respectively. In Uighur the average blood lead level was (76 +/- 4) microgram/L, and 25.7% individuals with blood lead level > or = 100 micrograms/L. In Yi the average blood lead level was (50 +/- 16) microgram/L, and 6.3% individuals with blood lead level > or = 100 micrograms/L. However, no statistic correlation between the distribution of ALAD alleles and the blood lead level was found in both populations.

CONCLUSIONThe genetic susceptibility of ALAD polymorphism to lead toxicity may exhibit in a lead dose-dependent manner.

w biomarker to predict the presence of vulnerable plaque.

AIM: To explore the expressive role of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A_2, high sensitive C-reactive protein and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in a rabbit model. METHODS: Forty eight New Zealand white male rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups (12 rabbits each): control group, stable plaque group, p53 group, and p53+drug group. Rabbits in control group were fed with a regular diet and underwent sham operation. Rabbits in stable plaque group, p53 group and p53+drug group underwent balloon induced arterial wall injury and then were fed on a diet with 1% cholesterol. The animals were all fed for 3 months, then the rabbits in p53 group and p53+drug group underwent Ad5-CMV p53 transfection at 10th week. Before killed, the animals in p53+drug group underwent pharmacological triggering with Russell's viper venom (RVV) and histamine to induce the rupture of the atherosclerotic plaques. At the 1st day and before sacrifice, the serum was collected for measuring Lp-PLA_2, hs-CRP, MMP-9, HDL, LDL and VLDL. The expressions of Lp-PLA_2, hs-CRP and MMP-9 in tissues were determined by the methods of hybridization and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: At the end of 12th week, the serum and tissue levels of Lp-PLA_2 and MMP-9 in stable plaque group, p53 group and p53+drug group were significant different from those in control group and in each group at the first day (P<0.05). The serum levels of Lp-PLA_2 and hs-CRP in p53 group and p53+drug group were significantly higher than those in control group and stable group (P<0.05). The serum levels of Lp-PLA_2, hs-CRP and MMP-9 were all significantly different between p53 group and p53+drug group (P<0.05). At the end of 12th week, pathological results showed that 4 groups were normal artery, stable plaque, vulnerable plaque and rupture plaque, respectively. The fabric cap was thicker in plaque groups than that in normal group (P<0.05). The rupture and formation of thrombus were more significant in p53+drug group than those in p53 group. The serum level of Lp-PLA_2 had negative interrelated relationship with fabric cap in plaque groups (r=-0.710, P<0.01), and hs-CRP, MMP-9 had no interrelated relationships with fabric cap in plaque groups. CONCLUSION: Base on the successful establishment of the atherosclerotic plaque animal model, serum Lp-PLA_2 shows better interrelated relationships to plaques stability. Combination with hs-CRP and MMP-9, we can exactly evaluate the nature of plaques.

Objective:To study the clinical features of the "migration birds" population in Hainan Province in winter presenting with acute cholecystitis.Methods:Patients who were diagnosed to suffer from acute cholecystitis in the winter months from November to February of the following year of 2017, 2018 and 2019 and admitted in Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital were included in this study. The "migration birds" patients who arrived in Hainan Province in less than 30 days were defined as the short-term group ( n=49), 30-89 days as the mid-term group ( n=24), more than 90 days as the long-term group ( n=48). The general information, associated medical diseases, clinical presentations, interventional strategies and in-hospital outcomes were compared, and further analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with purulent cholecystitis and non-purulent cholecystitis in the short-term group. Results:Of 120 patients, there were 49 patients in the short-term group (29 males and 20 females with an average age of 65.18±15.02 years), 24 patients in the mid-term group (13 males and 11 females with an average age of 66.21±11.93 years), and 48 patients in the long-term group (30 males and 18 females with an average of 60.73±12.54 years). The general information, interventional strategies and in-hospital outcomes were similar among the three groups. When compared with patients in the long-term group, patients in the short-term group had higher incidences of hypertension [20.83% (10/48) vs 48.98% (24/49)] and diabetes [10.42% (5/48) vs 30.61% (15/49)]. The gallbladder wall in the short-term group was significantly thicker than that in the long-term group [0.60(0.40, 0.70) cm vs 0.50(0.30, 0.60) cm, P<0.017]. The proportion of purulent cholecystitis in the short-term group was significantly higher than that in the long-term group [48.15% (13/27) vs 17.24% (5/29) , P<0.017] . In the short-term group, the incidences of silt-like stones of purulent cholecystitis [38.46% (5/13) vs 14.29% (2/14)], gallbladder perforation [30.77% (4/13) vs 0], gallbladder gangrene [53.85% (7/13) vs 7.14% (1/14)], perigallbladder effusion [76.92% (10/13) vs 14.29% (2/14)], abdominal effusion [46.15% (6/13) vs 7.14% (1/14)] were significantly higher than that of patients with non-purulent cholecystitis, (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients presenting with acute cholecystitis after arrival in Hainan in the short term had more severe inflammation with complications of suppuration, perforation and gangrene. Patients with hypertension and diabetes were the high risk group of patients presenting with acute cholecystitis after short-term arrival in Hainan.
