Objective To explore the effect of follow-up by telephone calls on the medication compliance of patients with cancer pain.Methods Two hundred and forty hospitalized cancer patients suffering from moderate to severe cancer pain were included in the study. All the patients were provided with education on pain treatment before discharge.Then they were randomly assigned to receive telephone follow-up or routine nursing after discharge.The medication compliance were compared 2 months after discharge.Result The medication compliance in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group.Conclusion Telephone follow-ups can improve medication compliance in patients with cancer pain.

BACKGROUND:Molars are characterized by multi-root, multi-root canal, multi-directional, different geometric shape and distribution. Single-root canal teeth post-core theory was used to guide molar repair in the clinic. It is easy to cause root canal perforation or vertical fracture due to excessive post preparation. Therefore, it is necessary to make further study and investigation in the design of fiber post-resin core for repairing molars. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects of fiber post-resin core with different numbers of posts in the repair of molar residual roots and crowns. METHODS: A total of 54 human molar residual roots and crowns with sound root canal filing in 48 patients were selected and restored with fiber post of different numbers and resin core as wel as complete coronal restoration. There were 17 cases (20 samples) restored with single fiber post core, 16 cases (18 samples) restored with double fiber post cores, and 15 cases (16 samples) restored with three fiber post cores. They were folowed up for 24 months and the repair results were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 24 months of folow-up, the success rates were 85%, 94% and 94% in the single fiber post, double fiber post and three fiber post groups, respectively, and no significant difference was detected among the three groups. Five failures were observed among 54 teeth: three cases of fiber post shedding in the single fiber post group, one case of fiber post shedding in the double fiber post group, and one case of fiberpost shedding in the three fiber post group, and no root fracture occurred. Three kinds of fiber post-resin cores for repairing molar residual roots and crowns can get a better short-term clinical result. The repair effects were not different because of the different numbers of fiber posts.

Objective To investigate the effect of diet and gene on blood-fat trait of the individual.Method One hundred and twenty mice were fed with high fat emulsion for 4 w,then the genotypes of LPL were analyzed by PCR-SSCP to investigate their effect on blood-fat traits and some organ performance of mice.Result After fed with high fat emulsion for 4 w,98 mice suffered from hyperlipidemia,while 22 mice did not.And a G/A mutation was found in 220 targeted fragments we amplified at 14355 site,and association analysis showed that the mice with BB genotype had higher TC、TG、LDL、H/W、L/W level than those of the mice with AA genotype(P

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of gamma oscillation in chronic insomnia patients with anxiety and depression, and to investigate its underlying neural mechanism.Methods:According to the anxiety and depression scores, the subjects with chronic insomnia who met the diagnostic criteria were divided into chronic insomnia with anxiety and depression group ( n=19) and chronic insomnia group ( n=13). Healthy subjects matched with age, gender, and educational background were selected as the normal control group ( n=16). The EEGs from the three groups under resting state and cognitive load state were collected.The relative gamma power was then calculated by fast Fourier transform.The spatial distribution pattern of the gamma oscillation in the three groups was analyzed.Spearman correlation analysis was employed to quantify the correlation between relative gamma powers and sleep scale, anxiety and depression scale scores. Results:In the resting state, the relative gamma power in the chronic insomnia with anxiety and depression, chronic insomnia and normal control group was 0.192 1±0.008 0, 0.210 3±0.009 6, 0.237 3±0.006 4, respectively.In the cognitive load state, the relative gamma power in the three groups increased compared with those in the resting state (0.220 7±0.008 1, 0.249 5±0.009 8, 0.267 7±0.007 2, respectively) (all P<0.05). In the resting state, the relative gamma power (F3, F4, C3, C4, P3, P4, O2, F8, T4) in the chronic insomnia with anxiety and depression group (0.179 9±0.009 7) and the chronic insomnia group (0.194 4±0.010 4) was lower than that in control (0.236 0±0.012 0, P<0.05). In the cognitive load state, the relative gamma power (F3, C3, C4, P3, P4, T4) in the chronic insomnia with anxiety and depression group (0.207 3±0.009 7) was lower than that in control (0.259 1±0.009 4)( P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between the relative gamma power in the nodes(F3, C3, P3)and the insomnia, anxiety and depression in the three groups(correlation coefficient r=-0.467--0.274, P<0.05). Conclusion:Chronic insomnia patients with anxiety and depression are often accompanied by cognitive dysfunction.The loss of gamma oscillation in left posterior, left central and left apex may be one of the potential neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in chronic insomnia patients with anxiety and depression.
