1.Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation treatment on post-stroke depression and neurological functional rehabilitation
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2002;8(12):755-756
ObjectiveTo study the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) treatment on post-stoke depression (PSD) and neurological functional rehabilitation.Methods60 patients with PSD were randomly divided into two groups, treatment group and control group. Patients in the treatment group were given HBO treatment in addition to the regular treatment. Changes of scores of Hamilton depression (HAMD), Chinese stroke scale (CSS), and activity of daily living (ADL) before and after treatment in two groups were observed and evaluated.ResultsAfter 1 month treatment scores of HAMD, CSS, and ADL in the treatment group got obviously better results than before treatment (P<0.01). While scores in the control group had no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusions It is suggested that HBO may improve the depressive symptom and neurological functional rehabilitation in PSD patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between axon degeneration of Goll’s column system and Amyloid ? protein (A?) deposit sludge. Methods A? protein deposition in area of axon degeneration of Goll’s columns was measured by using immunohistochemical method.Results There was found strong positive round like A? deposit in the area of axon degeneration of Goll’s column system of GAD mouse. Spheroid appeared in the area of medullar nucleus of the Goll's column system at an age of 4 weeks. However the A? was negative and 9 weeks later, it became positive in partial spheroid and formed a strong round like material and became more and more standing up with age increase. The material mentioned above appeared consistently progressive in degeneration of axon in sequence.Conclusion It was suggested that the deposition of A? should be the result secondary to degeneration of nervous axon and be closely correlated with axon degeneration.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of compound kushen injection (CKI)in the treatment for patients with advanced liver cancers.Methods Relevantly randomized controlled trials from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP),Wanfang Data,and Pubmed were searched until November,2014.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of supportive care compared with combined therapy of CKI in the treatment for patients with advanced liver cancers were included.The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed independently with bias risk according to the Cochrane collaboration.All data were analyzed with the Review Manager 5.3.Results Eight RCTs involving 472 patients were included.The meta-analysis results suggested that the shortterm efficacy of the treatment group be higher (P =0.008) and that the pain relief be a significant benefit in the treatment group (P <0.01).Adverse reactions were not observed.Conclusions CKI is an effective and safe adjuvant drug for advanced liver cancers.

Objective To Optimize the mandibular CT scanning methods with changing the scanning position,to reduce the radiation dosage.Methods Totally 50 consecutive patients with mandibular CT examination were enrolled in the study and divided into position-optimized group and routine group (n =25,respectively) randomly.The image quality,volume CT-dose index (CTDIvol),scanning length,and dose length product (DLP) were compared.Results There was no significant difference in subjective image quality and CTDIvol between two groups.But the scanning length and DLP in positionoptimized group were significantly reduced by about 20 % (t =4.986,P < 0.05) and 16% (t =3.682,P <0.05) compared with routine group.The lens were out of scanning field with the position-optimized protocol.Conclusions The scanning length would be efficiently reduced and the lens avoided with the position-optimized protocol,which would subsequently reduce the effective radiation dose.

Objective In order to enhance the understanding of Churg- Strauss syndrome, the clinical manifestations and the pathological features of 15 patients were reviewed. Methods The clinical and patho- logical findings of 15 patients with Churg- Strauss syndrome admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospi- tal were retrospectively analysed. Results In 15 cases, the initial clinical manifestations were poly- mononeu- ropathy, gastrointestinal disorders and skin lesions. Peripheral eosinophilia was significant in all cases. Biopsies were taken in all cases. The typical pathological features usually demonstrated in diffiferent stage of the dis- ease. Conclusions If a patient shows a clinical manifestation of fever, skin lesions, neuropathy, abdominal pain and diarrhea, as well as eosinophilia in peripheral blood, the diagnosis of Churg- Strauss syndrome should be considered. It is necessary to take biopsies from several sites at different time.

Objective To study the value of CT diagnosis of atraumatic acute abdominal disease and how to select CT scan rationally.Methods The CT findings of 319 cases of atraumatic acute abdominal disease were reviewed restrospectively.Results Of 319 cases,226 cases of non-traumatic acute abdomen had positive findings on CT,the positive rate was 70.84%.Of them,the diseases included:urinary tract system in 63 cases,bile system in 62 cases,pancreas in 41 cases,gastro-intestinal system in 37 cases and others in 23 cases.The positive rate of CT findings was higher with aging in non-traumatic acute abdomen.Conclusion CT is of diagnostic value in atraumatic acute abdominal disease.

A high efficiency phenol-degrading bacterial strain PS1 was isolated from the drainage ditch of chemical laboratory of East China Institute of Technology.PS1 is a coccus,Gram negative and can live on phenol as its sole carbon and energy source.PS1 to identified as a strain of Raoultella sp.by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis,which can degrade and tolerate more than 3500mg/L phenol.When phenol concentration is 500mg/L and 1000mg/L,PS1 can completely degrade it in 22 h and 32h,respectively.And while it is between 1500mg/L~3000mg/L,all phenol can be degraded by PS1 in 32h~50h.When phenol concentration is 2500mg/L,the phenol-degrading rate is the biggest and can reach to 78.1mg/h.The optimum growth and phenol-degrading conditions were obtained by orthogonal experiment,which are 25℃,pH6.5,glucose concentration 500mg/L and 20℃,pH7.0,glucose concentration 500mg/L,respectively.
