0 05) Conclusion PCI treatment can get better long term effect in non ST elevation acute coronary syndrome patients and the result is the same as that in stable angina pectoris patients

Objective To research the effects and mechanism of gastrodin against migraine and on single amine neurotransmitter. Methods The model of nitroglycerin migraine was made after rat treated by gastrodin for 5 days, the time points of ear rubescence and the times of scratch head were observed to take as evaluation index of pharmacodynamic action, the concentration of 5-HT, NE and DA were measured in the brain with HPLC. Results Gastrodin could obviously prevent the attack of migraine and increase the concentration of 5-HT, DA and NE in the brain. Conclusions The effects of gastrodin against migraine is related with the concentration of 5-HT, DA and NE in the brain, gastrodin can regulate neurosystematic functions and enhance the secretion and metabolism of neurotransmitters.

Objective: To investigate the loneliless situation of the elderly, and explore the relationship between loneliness,filial expectations and intergenerational social support among the elderly. Methods: Using UCLA Loneliness Scale, Intergenerational Social Support and Fealty Expectation Questionnaire, we investigated 423 samples of old people aged 60 ～94 of Changsha City. Results: The mean score of loneliness was 39.8 (s =7.3). Ordinal regression analysis indicated that the loneliness of the elderly was significantly related to received adult children social support (OR=2.208, P=0.006),afforded adult children social support(OR=2.056,P=0.01) and filial expectation(OR=1.872,P=0.027),controlled by age, sex, level of education, marriage, level of family income, and residence status. Filial expectation directly affected loneliness and indirectly affected loneliness through received adult children social support and afforded adult children social support. Conclusion: The loneliness of the elderly are significantly related to filial expectation and intergenerational support.

Objective To establish a sensitive ,reliable and convenient method for determination of total selenium(Se) in salt by HG-AFS. Methods The salt samples were dissolved and added hydrochloric acid (HCl),after heating by boiling water ,used HG-AFS to determinate Se. Results The linear range of the method was 0.5-400 ?g/L, The correlation coefficient was larger than 0.999 5, the recovery rates were 95.7%-102.8%. If 1 ml sample was collected, the detection limit was 0.08 ?g/L. Conclusion The method is sensitive, reliable, simple, less sample usage, and is an ideal method for determination of total selenium in salt.

Objective To investigate the current status of self-management action of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) during early-mid stage and its influencing factors. Methods 80 patients were recruited in a tertiary hospital in Beijing from March to June 2011.They were surveyed with a self-designed self-management action questionnaire of patients with CKD. Results The total score of self-management action in patients with CKD was(69.10±5.63 ).1.25％ patients with CKD had bad self-management ability and 88.75％ patients had moderate self-management ability,only 10.00％ patients had good self-management ability.Patients of younger age,with higher education level,ever attending lectures or having inpatient experience had better self-management ability.And the methods of payment also had significant influence on the self-management of patients with CKD. Conclusions When taking care of patients with CKD,health care providers should be more individual case-based,especially paying more attention to those who are older,with low education degree,never have attended health education lectures and do not have inpatient experience,in order to increase patients' self-management ability and help them improve their health status.

Objective To observe the occurrence of vascular calcification in maintenance hemedialysis (MHD) patients. Method Sixty-nine MHD patients were enrolled in this study. Vascular calcification was evaluated by plain X-my films of chest, upper and lower extremites. Analyzed the relationship of vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease. Results Vascular calcification on X-ray films presented in 38 cases (55%). Of the 23 cases with calcification on arteries of extremites, 14 cases were found to have both intimal calcification and medial calcification. Patients with vascular calcification were older. Ischemic heart disease and cardiac failure appeared more frequently in the patients with vascular calcification. Conclusions Both intimal calcification and medial calcification are frequently found in the MHD patients. Vascular calcification is probablly associated with cardiovascular disease in MHD patients.
