Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(z1):78-80
Psychological disorder has a high morbidity rate among patients with cardiovascular disease. Patients with cardiovascular disease associated with depression, especially post myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndromes associated with psychological disorder, have not only a poor prognosis, but also a high mortality . Therefore, comprehensive and perfect intervention is extremely important for patients with cardiovascular disease associated with psychological disorder. The intervention for such kind patients needs an integrated disease management. It needs to consolidate the treatment of body's disease to strengthen second-level prevention of heart disease, and pay attention to the intervention for psychological disorder as well.This paper aims to provide reference for reducing the negative effects of psychological illness in patients with cardiovascular disease during clinical treatment process, and make prospects about the significance of double heart medical model, through summarizing the interaction effects of psychological factors on patients with coronary heart disease, the significance ofdouble heartnursing mode and the specific nursing measures.
2.Re-osseointegration of peri-implantitis affected and failed implants
STOMATOLOGY 2023;43(1):35-38
Peri-implantitis and implant failure are common issues in the implant dentistry. The contaminated implant can be treated with mechanical, chemical and assisted methods for the formation of re-osseointegration. Re-osseointegration is achievable with valid bone regeneration strategies. The survival rate of implant into the site of previous failure is lower than that of the initial implant. For the hopeless and failed implant, it is necessary to remove the implant with corresponding technique.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread embedding on the peripheral serum leptin and insulin levels in simple obesity patients, and to further explore the mechanism of acupoint thread embedding in treating simple obesity.Method A total of 120 patients with simple obesity were randomized into a control group, an eletroacupuncture (EA) group and a thread embedding group, 40 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by diet plus exercise intervention, the EA group by EA treatment in addition to the intervention given to the control group and the thread embedding group by acupoint thread embedding treatment in addition to the intervention given to the control group. The levels of blood serum leptin and insulin in the three groups were observed before and after 2 treatment courses and the clinical efficacies were compared among the three groups.Result The total effective rate was 87.5% in the thread embedding group, 85.0% in the EA group, and 47.5% in the control group. The total effective rates in the thread embedding group and EA group were significantly different from the rate in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of the fasting serum leptin and insulin were significantly changed in the thread embedding group and EA group after the treatment (P<0.01). After the treatment, the levels of the fasting serum leptin and insulin in the thread embedding group and EA group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.01,P<0.05). The insulin level in the thread embedding group was better than that in the EA group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupoint thread embedding is an effective approach for simple obesity, and it can down-regulate the fasting peripheral serum leptin and insulin levels.

Objective To clone the gene of arginine kinase (AK) from Periplaneta americana, produce its recombinant protein and investigate its allergenicity. Method The cDNA of AK was cloned using specific primers from the total RNA of P. americana. The cloned gene was inserted into pMD18-T vector and digested by BamHI and HindⅢ. The cDNA was sequenced and subcloned into pET-28a expression vector. The cloned AK cDNA gene was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) by IPTG induction. The recombinant AK (rAK) was purified by metal (Ni2+) chelating affinity chromatography. Its allergenicity was examined by both Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Result The cloned cDNA ORF sequence (Accession no. EU429466) contained 1 068 bp and encoded 365 amino acids. Its sequence homology with the published one (Accession no. AY563004) was 99.9% at nucleotide level. The allergen rAK was highly expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) as a soluble protein mainly with the molecular weight of about Mr 45 000 under induction of IPTG and purified by 6-His-tag purification system. Both in the non-denaturalization and denaturalization conditions, the recombinant allergen was identified as its affinity to IgE antibodies from the cockroach-allergic patient sera by Western blotting and ELISA. Conclusion The recombinant cockroach arginine kinase has been obtained with proper allergenicity.

PurposeHeroin addiction is a chronic and recurrent functional brain disease, there are some functional changes in specific brain regions, but the network character remains unclear. The aim of this paper is to explore the network character of brain resting-state functional network in heroin addicts, to identify the potential neuromechanism of heroin addiction from the perspective of brain network.Materials and Methods Thirty heroin addicts (HA group) and twenty-nine healthy controls (control group) underwent resting-state functional MRI scanning using GE 3.0T MRI scanner. The brain functional networks were constructed based on graph theory, the small-world properties and node properties were calculated and compared between the two groups, the correlation between the total dosage of heroin and node degree was analyzed.Results Compared with control group, the small world characteristics of HA group was altered with statistically significant difference (P<0.05, corrected by false discovery rate); the node degrees in orbit frontal regions increased, while those in occipital brain regions decreased (P<0.05, corrected by false discovery rate). No correlation was found in HA group between node degree and the total dosage of heroin.Conclusion These results suggest that topology of functional brain networks were altered in heroin addicts which tends to random networks; increased motivational driving to the salience of drug and decreased visuospatial attention in heroin addicts may provide a strategy for identifying the neuromechanism of heroin addiction.

Natural product is an important source of new drug research and development (R&D). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) innovation is the key step for its modernization and internationalization. However, due to the complexity of TCM, there are many difficulties and confusions in this process. Target-based drug discovery is the mainstream model and method of R&D. TTD, short for therapeutic target database, is developed by National University of Singapore. Besides a large amount of information on drug targets, the database also contains considerable information related to natural products. This paper briefly introduces the TTD, analyzes the natural products derived drugs/compounds recorded in TTD, which we think might provide some inspiration for the innovation of TCM.
