Objective To observe the effect of anxiety and depression on cell adhesion molecules and fibrolytic activity in cardiac-pacing patients. Methods The levels of plasma P-selectin, E-selectin, sICAM-1, vWF and PAI-1 were measured in 39 cardiac-pacing patients with anxiety or depression as rersearch group, 32 cases cardiac-pacing patients without any psychological problems as observation control group and 20 healthy subjects as normal control group. Result The levels of plasma P-selectin, E-selectin, sICAM-1, vWF and PAI-1 in cardiac-pacing patients were significantly higher than those in normal control group, and their plasma levels in the patients with anxiety or depression were significantly higher than those in the patients without psychological problems. Conclusion There were significantly elevated cell adhesion molecules level and decreased fibrolytic activity in cardiac-pacing patients. The anxety and depression status could aggregate this condition.

Objective To assess the value of 18 F-FDG PET imaging in the localization of epileptic foci.Methods 18 F-FDG PET were performed in 22 patients with medically intractable epilepsy (15 males,7 females,mean years:19.0 years,mean duration:8.2 years). The open skull operations were undergone in 21 patients according to the results of 18 F-FDG PET, combining with scalp EEG and CT or/and MRI. 1 patient was refered for stereotactic operation. During operation,EcoG was detected for identifying the site of epileptogenic focus and lobectomy was performed . All specimens were examninated with the pathological tests. All patients were followed up for the curative effects. Results PET showed abnormalities in 21 patients(95.5%). Among them,single or multiple focal hypometabolisms were found in 20 patients and focal hypermetabolism in 1 patient. The scalp EEGs showed abnormalities in 17 patients(77.3%),but 8 of them did not showed clear latreralizing manifestations.The abnormalities were found on MR or/and CT in only 5 cases (22.7%).The epileptogenic foci detected by PET were consistent well with EcoG in 18cases(85.7%), consistent approximately in 2 cases and not consistent in 1 cases .Among 19 patients with abnormal PET findings , the pathological abnormalities were found in 18 cases (94.7%).No pathological abnormality was found in the patients with nomal PET imaing. After the open skull operations, 9 patients (42.9%) becomed seizure free . 9 patients (42.9%) had more than 50% seizure reduction and 3 patients (14.3%)showed no improvement. The patient treated with stereotactic operation also showed no significant improvement.Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET imaging is a sensitive and accurate modality to localizate the epileptic foci and has important clinical value in surgical therapy.

ObjectiveTo analysis the clinical efficacy of using lateral homodigital flaps based on digital artery perforator to repair the fingertip defects. MethodsFrom October 2008 to August 2010,nine patients with twelve fingertip defects,including 5 thumbs,2 index fingers,3 middle fingers,2 ring fingers,underwent repair with lateral homodigital flaps based on digital artery perforator.The size of the flaps ranged from 2.7 cm× 1.4 cm to 3.1 cm× 1.8 cm.The donor site were covered by skin graft. ResultsEleven flaps survived.One case met with partial necrosis.The follow-up time ranged from 3 to 6 months(average of 4.5 months).The finges had good appearance.Ten cases had gained full postoperative sensory recovery and the two-point discrimination was 4-Smm at 3 months after operation.ConclusionUsing the flaps pedicled with digital artery perforator is a feasible solution for treatment of fingertip defects.

Objective To investigate the changing of endothelial progenitor cells and nitric oxide in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Method Mononuclear cells from 20 healthy persons (the control group, n = 20) , COPD patients without PAH (COPD non-PAH group, n =30) and patients with PAH secondary to COPD (COPD and PAH group, n=30) were investigated. Total mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPC number and migration were assayed by colony forming unit-EPCs (CFU-EPCs) assay and modified Boyden chamber assay , respectively. EPC adhesion assay was performed by replanting those on fibronectin-coated dishes , then adherent cells were counted. The concentration of NO was measured with method of nitrate reductase.Result The numbers of CFU and migration, adhesion activity of circulating EPCs in COPD[ (21.9±3. 9)CFU-EPC] and PAH group[ (14. 2 ±3. 5)CFU-EPC] were significantly lower than that in non-COPD group and COPD non-PAH group [ ( 24.9 ±4.1) CFU-EPC ]. It was also observed that a strong negative correlation between the levels of PAH and the numbers of CFU and adhesion, migration activity of circulating EPCs. The NO level in the PAH group [ (43. 6 ±4. 8)ng/ml] was significantly lower than that in control group [ ( 67. 17±4.9 ) ng/ml ] ( P < 0.01). The NO level was positively correlated with number and migration ability of EPCs( r =0. 77,0.71, P <0.01) , but not correlated with adhesion ability.Conclusion The number of CFU and migratory, adhesive activity of EPC in patients withPAH secondary to COPD was significantly decreased. These changes may be associated with low level of plasma NO.

Objective To explore the associated factors influencing the prognosis of upper limb function and ability of activities daily living(ADL)in stroke patients with left side hemiplegia.Methods 64 stroke patients with left side hemiplegia were treated regularly last for 1 month.At admission,the assessment procedure for cognitive function were performed with scales of Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE),Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment(LOTCA),Motor Impersistence(MI),Schenkenberg Line Bisection Test.Brunnstrom stage,Modified Barthel Index(MBI),Ueda,Bin Hemiplegic Finger Function Assessment Scale,Upper Limb Function Assessment Scale were graded for the upper limb function and ADL ability before and after training.The multinominal logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between those factors and the upper limb function and ADL ability.Results The extent of resumption of upper limb function of patients was positively correlated with the ability of formal operational thinking(P<0.01)in LOTCA score before training.However,the extent of resumption of hand was negatively correlated with MI score before training(P<0.01).The extent of resumption of the hand practicability was positively correlated with the ability of operational thinking and score of ADL in LOTCA before training(P<0.01).The extent of the resumption of ADL was positively correlated with the ability score of operational thinking in LOTCA and diseased region.It was negatively correlated with the score of Schenkenberg line bisection(P<0.01).Conclusion The ability of operational thinking in LOTCA before training and the scores of Schenkenberg line bisection,ADL and MI are helpful in prognosis for the upper limb function in stroke patients with left side hemiplegia.

OBJECTIVEIn this study, we examined the biodegradation of Dichloroethylene (DCE) by two strains of aerobic bacteria.

METHODSUsing batch experiments, we measured the biodegradation rates of DCE and the residual concentrations of DCE for each bacterial strain. The varying trends in biodegradation rates with different initial concentrations of DCE were fitted to kinetic models.

RESULTSThe biodegradation kinetics of DCE by the strain DT-X, which uses toluene as co-metabolic substrate, fitted the Monod model (corresponding parameters: v(max)=0.0075 h(-1), K(s)=2.12 mg/L). The biodegradation kinetics of DCE by the strain DT-M, which uses 1,1-Dichloroethylene as single substrate, fitted the Haldane model (parameters: v(max) =0.0046 h(-1), K(s)=4.25 mg/L, K(i)=8.47 mg/L).

CONCLUSIONThe substrate removal rate constant of 1,1-Dichloroethylene of the co-metabolic strain DT-X was much higher than that of strain DT-M. The substrate removal rates obtained from both bacterial strains in this study were higher than those reported in similar studies.
