Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the schizophrenia cognition rating scale ( SCoRS) . Methods 112 cases of schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder inpatients were recruited and assessed using the SCoRS( Chinese version) ,the brief assessment of cognition in schizophrenia (BACS) and personal and social performance scale(PSP). The principle component analysis,reliability analysis and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results Standardized Cronbach α = 0.964. All the 20 i-tems were significantly correlated. Except item 1 ,9,18,19 ( r=0. 830,0. 890,0. 871,0. 890) ,the interrater correlation coefficiency (ICC) of the rest of the items was over 0.9. The ICC of global rating scores between two raters was 0. 921. Factor analysis procedure identified three factors. Factor 1 reflected the neurocognitive state; factor 2 reflected the social cognitive state;and factor 3 mainly reflected the daily life function. The SCoRS rating scores were significantly correlated with the BACS and PSP scores. Conclusion The validity and reliability of SCoRS are acceptable. SCoRS is a useful tool for assessing the deficits of the cognitive function for Chinese schizophrenia patients.

Objective To investigate the status of the non-psychiatrist' s diagnostic and therapeutic ability of depression/anxiety disorders in 57 General Hospitals.Methods 1 152 non psychiatric clinicians in 57 general hospitals were surveyed.A custom-made questionnaire included the training of mental health-related knowledge which the general hospital physicians received and typical anxiety/depression case analysis.Results Among 1 521 non-psychiatric clinicians,596 (51.74％) clinicians participated the training of psychiatry,562 (48.78％) participated the training of medical psychology and 230(20.97％) clinicians participated the training of Healthy Psychology.In professional setting,59 (5.12％) clinicians participated the training of psychotherapy,255 (22.14％) clinicians had attended related academic symposiums.80(6.94％) clinicians believed that they understand the clinical display of anxiety/depression disorders,52 (4.51％) clinicians expressed the understanding of diagnostic criteria of anxiety/depression disorders and its treatments,while 44(3.82％) clinicians only possessed the knowledge of anxiety/depression disorder treatment.In the typical case analysis,it revealed that 794 (68.89％) clinicians made accurate diagnosis,458(57.68％)clinicians made a choice of medical treatment,764(96.22％) clinicians chose psychotherapy,29 (3.65％) clinicians applied physical therapy,while 438 (55.16％) clinicians combined drug therapy with one or more other therapeutic methods.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the age(P=-0.093,Exp(B)=0.911)and work experience(P=-0.002,Exp(B) =1.080)significantly contribute to the diagnostic accuracy of non-psychiatrists.Conclusion The non-therapeutic psychiatric clinicians in general hospitals have certain basic knowledge of depression/anxiety disorders with lower level of diagnosis and treatment diagnosis and treatment.And there is bigger difference among different hospitals.

Objective To study the characteristics of patients with acute arsine poisoning and its possible treatments. Methods The only use of drugs,or drugs with plasma exchange(PE)were used to treat 36 patients with acute arsine poisoning.The blood haemolysis,enzymes of creatinc kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),?-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase(HHBD), total bihrubin(TBIL),indirect bilirubin(IBIL),direct bilirubin(DBIL),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine (Cr)were observed.Results There was an exposure time-effect relation in clinical characteristics,and a linear correlation between the concentrations of arsenic in blood and urine(r=0.718,P=0.019),but no significant correlations were found between the concentrations of arsenic in blood or urine with CK,LDH,ALP,ALT,AST,HHBD,TBIL,IBIL, DBIL,BUN,Cr(P＞0.05).In patients with severe acute arsine poisoning,PE quickly controlled hemolysis within 24 hours,and prevented secondary damage in kidney and other organs,oliguria stage got much shorter,and CK,LDH,ALP, AST,HHBD,TBIL,IBIL,BUN significantly reduced at 24 to 72 hours after PE treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusions The only use of drug was enough for the treatment of mild acute arsine poisoning.To the patients with severe acute arsine poisoning,PE may be an effective method to control its blood hemolysis and prevent complications,which should be taken as early as possible.

Objective We tried to investigate the nutritional status and related factors in patients undergoing allogenetic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Methods A total of 75 patients were recruited from a class-three hospital in Suzhou.They were investigated with a basic information questionnaire and the Patient-Generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA).The related factors influencing nutritional status were analyzed.Results The PAB level began to rise since conditioningregimen,and it rose to the highest level in the second week,then began to decline.The weight and the BMI had been declining in the four weeks since conditioning regimen.29.33％ of the patients were malnourished,the scored PG-SGA was (5.60±4.96),the percentage of patients with dietary problems was 33.3％ before conditioning regimen; 85.33％ of the patients were malnourished,the scored PG-SGA was (19.26±7.18),the percentage of patients with dietary problems was 93.2％ in the second week since conditioning regimen; 85.33％ of the patients were malnourished,the scored PG-SGA was (12.95±6.19),the percentage of patients with dietary problems was 75.8％ in the fourth week; Age is the main factor affecting the patients' albumin level in the second week.Conclusions The nutritional status of patients deteriorated and the percentage of patients with malnutrition increased during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Clinical staff should pay attention to the assessment of nutritional status,and give a reasonable nutritional support when necessary.

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of Tang Shen Ning(TSN,a prescription of traditional Chinese medicine)for curing the early stage of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods: Adopting random and double-blind controlled trial methods,several indexes were observed in terms of uric micro-amount albumin excretion rate,creatinine clearance,hemorheology and platelet function et al.Results: TSN could significantly reduce urinary albumin,glomerulus's hyper-filtration,improve blood stream transform and inhibit platelet aggregation.Conclusion: TSN could protect renal functions during the early stage of DN.

This paper reported that the activation of oncogenes in human fetal esopha geal epithelium treated by alternariol (AOH). It was found that NIH/3T3 cells were transformed via transfeetion of DNA extracted from human fetal esophageal epithelium which was cultured and treated by 10?g/ml AOH in a short term in vitro. The efficiency of primary loci was 0.17 focus per ?g of DNA. In the secondary transfection, the efficiency was 0.58 focus per ?g of DNA (P

Background:Chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)is a common disease of digestive system and is a precancerous lesion of the intestinal type gastric cancer. Serum pepsinogens(PGs)and gastrin 17(G17)are biological markers of gastric mucosal lesions,which have a prominent role in diagnosis of CAG and screening of early gastric cancer. Aims:To study the correlation of serum PGs and G17 with age in patients with CAG. Methods:A total of 582 CAG patients admitted from Jan. 2016 to Sep. 2017 at the Baoding First Central Hospital were enrolled. The levels of serum PGⅠ,PGⅡ and G17 were determined by ELISA,and the PGⅠ/ PGⅡ ratio(PGR)was calculated. The correlations of these indices with the clinical data of CAG patients were analyzed. Results:The levels of serum PGⅠ and PGⅡ were increased with age(P<0.01),and the levels of PGR and G17 were decreased with age(P <0.05). Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis showed that the levels of PGⅠ and PGⅡ were positively correlated with age(rs=0.374,P<0.01;rs=0.559, P<0.01),and the levels of PGR and G17 were negatively correlated with age(rs= -0.649,P<0.01;rs= -0.141, P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of serum PGⅠ,PGⅡand G17 in patients with CAG were correlated with age. When serum PGs and G17 are used as serological indicators for diagnosis of CAG and screening of early gastric cancer,the impact of age on these indices should be taken into account.
