0.975). The deviation of medical decision level was within 1.6. Conclusion Comparison among various analyzers were improved after the other analyzers corrected by the one comparable analyzer through the result of the fresh serums determined by it.

Objective To investigate the possibility of using poly-hydroxybutyate-hydroxyhexate p(3HB-co-3HH)), a modified extracellular matrix, the third generation of PHA family, as a scaffold for seeding of chondrocytes from the residual ear of microtia patients to generate tissue engineered cartilage in athymus mice. Methods The residual ear cartilage from eight 7-years-old microtia patients was enzymatically dissolved by collagenase, and chondrocytes were harvested and seeded into foams of PHB-PHH. After incubation for 1 week in vitro, chondrocyte-polymer constructs were implanted subcutaneously into 8 athymus mice. A control groups was established by subcutaneous implantation of PHB-PHH foams alone. One athymus mice were killed at 4 weeks postoperatively, and 6 were sacrificed at 8 weeks. The specimens were dissected and examined macroscopically and histologically. Results Specimens harvested from chondrocyte-polymer constructs subjected to gross morphologic and histology analysis demonstrated new cartilage formation, and those from control groups showed no cartilage formation. The one of 4 weeks still had some remains of the scaffold with nodules of neocartilage. After 8 weeks, all the 6 mice had neocartilage formed almost the same as natural. The PHB-PHH scaffold were totally absorbed. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that the foam of PHB-PHH is not only a good "matrix" for cartilage tissue engineering, but also optimal scaffold for the seeding of chondrocytes from the residual ear to generate new cartilage that would be useful in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Chondrocytes from the residual ear of microtia patients are good candidates for generation of tissue engineered cartilage.

Objective To explore the difference of risk factors to depression between different nationalities, the relationship of stressing life events, cognitive emotion regulation, and depression and suicide ideation were studied by correlate and regression analysis. Methods 126 patients with depression diagnosed by CCMD-III,55 minority nationality and 71 Han nationality patients,completed life events questionnaires,cognitive emotion regulation questionaire(CERQ) and HAMD. All the parameters be analyzed by SPSS 17.0, and correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis be employed to analyze the relationship between the parameters. Results Negative cognitive emotion, stressing life events and suicide ideation related positively to depression, while positive cognitive emotion related to depression negatively(r self-blame=0.599,r acceptance=0.527,r rumination=0.484,r catastrophizing=0.618,r LES=0.649,r suicide ideation=0.482,P<0.01;r positive refocusing=-0.476,r planning=-0.0254,r positive reapprasial=-0.363,r putting into perspective=-0.492,p<0.01);stressing life events and negative cognitive emotion and depression related positively to suicide i-deation(r LES=0.482.r self-blame=0.438,r acceptance=0.338,r rumination=0.378,r catastrophizing=0.457,r depression=0.724,p<0.01) , and positive cognitive emotion related negatively to it(r positive refocusing=-0.319,r putting into perspective=-0.326,p<0.01). The outcome of correlate analysis was similar in different nationalities. Stressing life events and catastrophizing and other-blame contributed more to depression than other factors in minority nationality group, and only the former two factors contributed to depression in Han nationality group. In both two groups, depression contributed more to suicide ideation than others. Conclusions Stressing rife events and negative cognitive emotion regulation have a significant effect on the development of depression, and the severity of depression is a critical factor to suicide ideation. There is no significant difference about above outcome between different nationalities.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of scalp-acupuncture on intelligence in patients with vascular dementia (VaD). METHODS: A total of 108 VaD patients were randomly divided into two groups: scalp-acupuncture group and Western medicine group. The scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Blesse Dementia Scale (BDS), Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS), Abilities of Daily Life (ADL) before and after treatment in the two groups were detected. RESULTS: A total of 92 patients completed the treatment. The scores of MMSE, BDS and HDS in the two groups were significantly increased, and the ADL scores significantly declined (P<0.05). There was no difference in the scores of MMSE, BDS, HDS and ADL between the two groups before and after the treatment. There was no difference in the total effectiveness between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Scalp-acupuncture therapy could improve the clinical intelligence level of VaD patients.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of Pilates and conventional training after total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods Fifty-eight patients who had undergone minimally invasive total hip replacement surgery were divided into an observation group (n =29) and a control group (n =29) using a random number table.The observation group was given Pilates rehabilitation training,including a series of exercises especially designed for this condition,for 6 months after the operation.The control group was provided with conventional postoperative rehabilitation training including passive range of motion exercise,balance training,etc.,lasting for 1 to 2 months in hospital,followed by self-training after discharge.At 1 month,3 months and 6 months after the operation hip joint function was evaluated in both groups using the Harris hip score and the modified Barthel index (MBI).The time for first out-of-bed activity after the operation,length of hospital stay and postoperative complications of the two groups were also recorded.Results At 1 month after the operation,the average Harris hip score and MBI score of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group [(59.78 ± 6.22) vs (51.26 ± 3.42) and (52.56 ± 16.67) vs (45.63 ± 15.24),respectively].Two and 4 months later,in the observation group the average Harris hip score had improved significantly to (82.12 ± 3.32) and further to (91.42 ± 5.91),while the MBI score increased significantly to (58.39 ± 13.32) and (81.17 ± 13.87).The same tendency was observed in the control group and at those two time points no significant difference was observed between the observation group and the control group.The patients in the observation group had their first out-of-bed ambulation significantly earlier,a significantly shorter average hospital stay and significantly fewer postoperative complications.Conclusion Pilates training after minimally invasive THA can promote earlier and quicker functional recovery than conventional rehabilitation training.

Objective To evaluate the application of cough reflex testing with various concentrations of citric acid for dysphagia post stroke. Methods 20 normal controls (NC), 20 stroke patients with dysphagia (SD) and 20 stroke patients without dysphagia (SND) were tested with cough reflex inhalated 4 kinds of dosage of citric acid: 0.2 mol/L, 0.4 mol/L, 0.6 mol/L and 0.8 mol/L. Results The incidence of pass (coughed twice or more) decreased in the SD compared with those in the NC as inhalated citric acid of 0.2 mol/L and 0.4 mol/L (P< 0.05), and decreased under 0.4 mol/L compared with the SND (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the SND and the NC (P>0.05). 90% of the NC passed as inhalated citric acid of 0.4 mol/L; however, it was 45% in the SD, and increased when they inhalated more dosage of citric acid (P<0.05). The incidence of pass decreased under 0.2 mol/L citric acid in the SND compared with other concentration (P<0.05). The result of the test was reliable interrater (κ=0.97). The incidence of cough was consistent of 96.8% with the same concentration. No asthma and asphyxia was observed. Conclusion Cough reflex testing with citric acid inhalation can be used to assess the defensive function of airway in lower concentration for dysphagia after stroke.

Objective:To investigate the level of rumination and its influential factors among Chinese psychiatry nurses who go through work place violence.Methods:In this study, 150 psychiatry nurses were recruited from Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (specialize in psychiatry), via the combination of convenient sampling and snowball sampling. Chinese Event-related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) was applied in the survey.Results:The total score of C-ERRI was (22.11±9.62) points, and the scores of intrusive rumination subscale and deliberate rumination subscale were (12.99±5.58) and (9.12±6.01) points, respectively. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis show that assault frequency in recent year ( B=-3.195, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.591, P<0.01) were predictors of deliberate rumination, which account for 26.8% variance of the equation. Gender (male) ( B=-2.415, P<0.01), Injury frequency in recent year ( B=2.864, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.949, P<0.01) were predictors of intrusive rumination. They account for 36.0% variance of the equation. Conclusion:In this study, the level of rumination among Chinese psychiatry nurses was low. Their rumination style was deliberate rumination.

Objective:To explore the relationship between rs671 (ALDH2), rs1229984 (ADH1B), RS141973904 (ADH1C), RS1799971 (OPRM1), rs1997794 (PDYN) polymorphism and individual's alcohol subjective response and drinking behavior.Methods:From January to December 2018, patients with alcohol dependence who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and Xinjiang mental health center and met the DSM-IV were selected (alcohol dependence group, n=100). Alcohol dependence patients and normal healthy subjects (control group, n=100) completed general demographic questionnaire, including drinking behavior such as the frequency of drinking each week and the maximum alcohol consumption at one drink, and informed consent, then were extracted of venous blood for DNA test.After that, alcoholics completed the alcohol challenge test.Biphasic alcohol effect scale(BAES) and drug effect questionnaire (DEQ) were completed before drinking and after drinking 30, 60, 120, 180 minutes respectively.Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for genetic linkage analysis was calculated by utility program.Pearson Chi-square test was used to analyze the odds ratio(OR) value, and the chi-square test of repeated measured variables were used to analyze the variation trend of individual subjective response to alcohol after drinking. Results:rs671 allele A was associated with alcohol dependence risk (χ 2=23.97, P<0.01, OR=7.11, 95% CI=2.93~17.30), and for rs1229984 polymorphism the dominant genetic model " T/T-C/T" was taken as the best fitting model ( P<0.01, OR=0.16, 95% CI=0.08-0.32), which was a protective factor for alcohol dependence.Alcoholics with TT genotype in rs1229984 had lower maximum alcohol consumption ( F=4.86, P=0.01) and weekly alcohol consumption ( F=4.51, P=0.01) than those with CC and CT genotype.The maximum alcohol consumption ( F=20.28, P<0.01) and weekly alcohol consumption ( F=12.46, P<0.01) of individuals with GG and GA genotype in rs1799971 were higher than those with AA genotype.The AA genotype of rs1799971 showed lower stimulative effect ( F=7.99, P=0.01), higher sedative effect ( F=57.04, P<0.01), and lower " like" ( F=13.38, P<0.01) and " more" effect ( F=26.37, P<0.01) than that with GG and GA genotype. Conclusion:rs671 and rs1229984 are more closely related to individual drinking behavior and volume of alcohol consumption.rs1799971 is not only related to individual drinking behavior, but also has a more closed relationship with subjective response to alcohol.
