Objective The purpose of the study is to analyse the counseling contents in psychological hot line during four years and the characteristics in different groups of the people. Methods Inputting all the completed recorders in hot line from January, 1995 to December, 1999, and using the Statistic Analysis System to analyse the data. Results The main age groups of the counseling people are 20～years and 30～years (77.39%), and 87.43 percent of the people has good education. The main counseling contents are related to mental disorders (23.61%), emotional difficulty (19.74%), love (17.07%), social intercourse (9.69%), marriage (9.15%), consulting for other persons (7.67%), sexual problems counseling (6.36%), and others. Conclusions The main groups of people in hot line are young and good educated people. The counseling contents have touched upon many areas, but mental disorder is the most numerous problems. The main problems in different groups of people are marked difference.

Objective To study plasma tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?) level and its relationship with insulin resistance in familial type 2 DM. Methods Plasma TNF ? were determined by RIA in 32 familial type 2 DM patients, their 37 non diabetic first degree relatives and 40 healthy control subjects. Results Plasma TNF ? was significantly higher in familial type 2 DM patients[(1.19?0.21)?g/L] than in healthy control subjects[(1.00?0.18)?g/L]( P 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that TNF ? was inversely related to ISI and was a significantly independent contributor to variations in ISI. 39% of the variance in ISI was explained by TC, body mass index(BMI)and TNF ?. Conclusion The finding of an association between high plasma levels of TNF ? and insulin resistance suggests that TNF ? may be involved in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance in familial type 2 DM patients.

OBJECTIVE:To explore loading dose simvastatin on related indicators in PCI perioperative period of patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS:Data of 203 acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing emergency PCI were retro-spectively collected and divided into observation group (102 cases) and control group (101 cases) by different regimens. Control group received conventional treatment for 3 d before PCI,including orally taking Aspirin enteric-coated tablet 300 mg/d,qd + Sim-vastatin tablet 40 mg/d,qd,simvastatin 40 mg/d after surgery,qd,for 4 weeks. Observation group received Simvastatin tablet 80mg 2 h before PCI,the other treatment was the same with control group. Total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density li-poprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),IL-6,IL-10,TFN-α,plasma super-sensitive tropo-nin(TNT-HSST)level,creatine kinase isoenzyme(CKMB)level,high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)level and transami-nase level before and 24 h after treatment were observed and the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. Meanwhile,the inci-dence of postoperative 30 d of MACE and CIN was followed-up. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in TG,TC, LDL-C,HDL-C before and after treatment(P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no significant difference in TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10, hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels in 2 groups (P>0.05);after treatment,TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels were significantly higher than before(P<0.05),and TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP levels in observation group was significantly lower than control group,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels were significantly higher than control group;IL-10 was significantly lower than before in 2 groups,and observation group was higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The MACE rate and CIN rate in observation were lower than control group with statistical significance(P<0.05). And no obvious adverse reaction was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Loading dose simvastatin in PCI perioperative period can significantly reduce patients' PCI, TNF-α,hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels and the incidence of cardiovascular and renal adverse reactions.

AIM: To explore the relationship between intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)expression in endothelial cells(EC) and advanced glycosylation end products(AGEs) stimulation. METHODS: Murine bone marrow derived ECs was stimulated by AGEs after pretreated with anti-AGEs, anti-IL-1? and N-acetylcysteine(NAC),then SOD activity and ICAM-1 concentration and adhesion rate(AR) were evaluated. RESULTS: ECs which expressed ICAM-1[(0.65?0.14) vs (0.11?0.02)] induced by AGEs showed lower SOD activity [(0.69?0.19)?10 3 U/L vs (1.71?0.42)?10 3 U/L]. The ICAM-1 expression as well as the increase of AR caused by AGEs stimulation could be suppressed by anti-AGEs(0.12?0.01) and NAC(0.11?0.05). Anti-IL-1? had no influence on these changes. CONCLUSION: AGEs could induce endothelial cells to express ICAM-1 in vitro, most probably due to the formation of free radicals. Besides, AGEs may stimulate other cells to secrete cytokines resulting in ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells.

Objective:To present evidence for the pathogenetic role of allergic factor,histamine,in type I allergy for induction of liver damage.Methods:Three groups of rabbits were fed normally and injected (iv) daily with 0, 0.04 or 0.08 ?g/kg phosphohistamine, respectively, for days. The serum level of ALT and AST in each group rabbits was assayed dynamically during the treatment. After treatment for days, the tested rabbits were sacrificed for pathological examination of the liver tissues.Results:The serum level of both ALT and AST in rabbits treated with phosphohistamine increased significantly during the tested periods, compared to that of the control group. However, both ALT and AST levels showed no significant difference between 0.04 ?g/kg and 0.08 ?g/kg groups. Liver microscopic examination, pathological damage could be observed in the tested groups in a time-and dose-dependent manner under microscopic examination. No evident pathological change appeared in the control group.Conclusion:Liver damage could be induced by histamine dosage-and time-dependently. This pathological action of histamine, a type I allergic factor, presents further evidence for a direct role of type I allergy in the pathogenesis hepatic injury.

Objective:To further explore the relationship between Type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction and the mechanism of the viral hepatitis B through the research of soluble intercellular adhesion molecular-1(sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular-1(sVCAM-1) levels in serum in patients with viral hepatitis B related to Type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction and the damage of liver cells, and therefore, provide new theory for the perfection of the immunological mechanism of hepatitis B, especially acute hepatitis B.Methods:Serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels were measured in 45 patients with viral hepatitis B and 15 normal cases using double antibody sandwich ELISA method. ALT and AST levels were studied using omni automatic biochemistry analyzer and its correlation with sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were observed.Results:The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 7 acute hepatitis B were significantly higher than that of the normal cases. ②The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 38 chronic hepatitis B were also significantly higher than that of the normal cases. ③The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 13 cases moderate chronic hepatitis B were significantly higher than that of 16 cases mild chronic hepatitis B. ④The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 9 serious chronic hepatitis B were significantly higher than that of the group of mild chronic hepatitis B. ⑤Levels of sICAM-1 were significantly positively correlated with serum ALT and AST. ⑥sVACM-1 levels were significantly positively correlated with serum ALT and AST. In conclusion, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with acute hepatitis B were most remarkably increased, and then serious chronic hepatitis B, moderate chronic hepatitis B, light chronic hepatitis B in sequence.Conclusion:Serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with viral hepatitis B may reflect the damage of liver. ②Examination of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with hepatitis B can be used to judge the patient’s condition and to diagnose. ③As an important indication of the inflammatory in Type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 may interfere the appearence of hepatitis B and the procedure of immunological damage of liver cells.
