Objective To explore the effect of intervention on depression and negative coping in elderly patients with chronic disease and provide a basis for mental health services. Methods Forty depression and negative coping of elderly patients with chronic disease were took psychological intervention for one year. Geriatric depression scale (GDS) and ways of coping scale (WCS) were used to assess the intervention effect. Results There was a high scores of GDS before the study (20.93?1.90)and the scores were reduced after intervention in Six months and the end of one year (17.88?1.80,11.80?1.60,respectively,P0.05). After intervention for one year,the patients applied more with positive coping styles such as problem sloving,help seeking and less with wince,illusion and self-criminating,there was a statistically significant difference (P

Objective By using immunohistochemical staining of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and fluorescence of ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine mediators, to observe the distribution of sympathetic nerve terminals in human cervical capsule tissues, and to compare the two methods for further improvement. Methods Surgically removed joint capsule tissues from C 3~7 vertebrae of 17 cases were treated by paraffin imbedding with NPY immunohistochemical staining and frozen-section with fluorescence staining of ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine mediators. Slides were preconditioned by 1% KMnO4 and sections 15~20 ?m in thickness were made. The staining was conducted at 100 ℃ for 5 min firstly, and then at 80 ℃ for 2 min. We utilized adrenal glands of rats as positive control. The samples were observed under fluorescence microscope at 380~420 nm excitation wavelengths from a high-voltage mercury light source. Results NPY immunostaining findings indicated bulky positive materials in some arteriolar walls and nerve tracts of the joint capsules; biomonoamine mediators gave off fluorescence in green-yellow color under the induction of ethylaldehyde acid, which presented mostly as reticular or radial finely-broken fibers in vascular walls, basal laminae of the synovial membrane and dense connective tissues. The positive rates of NPY immunohistochemical staining were 70.6% (12/17) at C 3~4 intervertebral segment, 42.9% (6/14) at C 4~5 , 57.1% (8/14) at C 5~6 , and 50.0% (5/10) at C 6~7 , respectively, the total positive rate being 56.4% (31/55). When using the ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine fluorescence, the positive rates were 70.6% (12/17) at C 3~4 intervertebral segment, 93.8% (15/16) at C 4~5 , 66.7% (10/15) at C 5~6 , and 80.0% (8/10) at C 6~7 , respectively, the total positive rate being 77.6% (45/58). The positive rate was remarkably higher in ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine fluorescence than in NPY immunohistochemical staining, with statistically significant difference (?2=5.774,P=0016), especially at C 4~5 intervertebral segment (P=0.004). Conclusions Both the two methods can demonstrate the distribution of sympathetic nerve terminals, suggesting the presence of the terminals in human cervical capsule tissues. Modified ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine fluorescence offers a greater specificity.

This article introduced the practice of emergency personnel cultivation according to order form based on the cooperation between Cang Zhou Medical College and the Beijing Red Cross emergency rescue center. The implementation process: First, we tried and built cooperative relation with the enterprises and public institutions which had strong cooperative intention, high demand and advanced techniques by field investigation. Second, we signed order training agreement, made clear the rights and obligations of both sides. Then, we selected the best students and formed the ordered class. Both sides organized the professional construction committee together. After much argument we thrashed practical talent training projects and professional development plans and implemented them strictly. We also built up a high quality team which involved full-time teachers as well as part-time teachers with balanced age and education. Besides, we adopted two plus one training pattern and em-ployed the best (the rate of employment beyond 80%). Thus, the win-win situation of students, schools and hospitals was realized.

Objective To explore the short-term clinical outcomes of ankle arthrodesis for the treatment of posttraumatic ankle arthritis.Methods Retrospectively study the data of 47 patients with posttraumatic ankle arthritis who were followed up after receiving ankle arthrodesis from January 2008 to May 2012.There were 28 males and 19 females,with an average age of 44 years (range,14-72 years).All of them wereclassified into stage-3 arthritis according to Morrey-Wiedeman,among whom 31 had obvious foot varus deformity or equines deformity,and 16 were almost normal in appearance.The ankle joint function of patients were assessed by Kofoed,American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot score,Maryland foot score systems and visual analog scale (VAS) preoperatively and at the last follow-up.Results The patients were followed up from 5 to 52 months (average,25 months).All the ankles got fused at the last follow-up,with one receiving removal of internal fixation and debride because of infection.Forty-three patients were satisfied with or without reservations; the others thought it so.The satisfaction rate was 91.5％(43/47).The Kofoed,AOFAS,Maryland foot scores and VAS were significantly improved from 48.11 ±5.00,53.38±5.52,49.74±5.71,7.89±0.87 to 80.96±6.07,82.21±4.26,88.94±5.14,2.28±1.10 respectively at the last follow-up.The normotopia X-ray of ankle joint showed that there were 22 cases in which the ankle got fused at neutral position,19 cases in which the eversion was less than 5°,3 cases in which the eversion was between 5° to 10°,2 cases in which the varus was less than 5°,and 1 case in which the varus was between 5° to 10°.Lateral X-ray showed that there were 32 cases in which the ankle got fused in dorsiflexion neutral position,12 cases plantar flexion 5°,and 3 cases plantar flexion 5° to 10°.Conclusion Ankle arthrodesis is still the preferable surgical treatnent option in patients with end-stage ankle arthritis,which shows high reliability and effectively in correcting deformity,pain relieving and function improvement.

Background:More and more evidences suggest that microRNA plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer (GC).Expression of miR-129 in GC tissues is found abnormal, however, the mechanism of miR-129 in cell proliferation and invasion is still undefined.Aims:To investigate the expression of miR-129 in GC tissue and GC cell lines and the mechanism of miR-129 in proliferation and invasion of SGC-7901 cells.Methods:Eighty-two GC tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues were collected, human gastric epithelial cell line and different GC cell lines were cultured, qPCR was conducted to assess miR-129 expression.SGC-7901 cells were transfected with miR-129 mimic or miR-NC, and then were transfected with overexpressed HMGA2 plasmid.Colony formation assay was used to detect cell proliferation ability, and Transwell chamber was used to assess cell invasion ability.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between miR-129 and HMGA2 mRNA expression.Luciferase assay was performed to determine the activity of luciferase.mRNA and protein expressions of miR-129, HMGA2 were determined by qPCR and Western blotting, respectively.Results:Compared with paracancerous tissues, expression of miR-129 was significantly decreased in GC tissues (P<0.05);when compared with human gastric epithelial cells, expression of miR-129 was significantly decreased in GC cell lines (P<0.05).Compared with miR-NC group, proliferation and invasion abilities of SGC-7901 cells were inhibited in miR-129 mimic group (P<0.05).HMGA2 mRNA expression in GC tissues was significantly upregulated (P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with miR-129 expression (r=-0.543 9, P<0.01).Luciferase activity in wild-type miR-129 mimic group was significantly lower than that in miR-NC group (P<0.05);mRNA and protein expressions of HMGA2 were decreased after transfection with miR-129 mimic (P<0.05).Compared with miR-129+vector group, proliferation and invasion of SGC-7901 cells were significantly increased in miR-129 mimic+HMGA2 group (P<0.05).Conclusions:The expression of miR-129 is decreased in GC tissue and cells;miR-129 inhibits SGC-7901 cells proliferation and invasion by negatively regulating HMGA2.

Background: Esophageal variceal bleeding is a clinical emergency and the major cause of death in patients with liver cirrhosis.Aims: To assess the value of platelet count (PC)/spleen diameter (SD) ratio in predicting the presence of esophageal varices (EV) in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis in China.Methods: A total of 91 consecutive HBV-related cirrhosis patients with EV from Aug.2013 to Dec.2015 at Renji Hospital (South Campus),School of Medicine,Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled.Thirty-two HBV-related cirrhosis patients without EV were enrolled as controls.Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy,routine laboratory examinations and abdominal ultrasonography were performed and the related parameters were collected.Binary Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify independent risk factors associated with EV.ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of PC/SD ratio for the presence of EV.Results: The PC/SD ratio was significantly lower in EV group than in non-EV group (538.2±327.0 vs.1 105.9±426.6,P=0.001).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the PC/SD ratio was independently associated with the presence of EV (OR=57.29,95％ CI: 15～214,P=0.000).In ROC curve analysis,the area under the curve (AUC) of PC/SD ratio in predicting the presence of EV was 0.853;the optimal cutoff value was 842,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 85.7％,75.0％,90.7％,and 64.9％,respectively.Conclusions: PC/SD ratio can be used as a non-invasive tool for prediction of the presence of EV in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis.It may reduce the number of unnecessary endoscopy.

Objective To evaluate the safety and comfort of postoperative patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after interventional therapy in the early stage and late stage, so as to determine the time to get out of bed after operation. Methods We searched PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library (2016 second), Web of Science, CBM, Wanfang Data and CNKI database, collect test/ambulation time of hepatocellular carcinoma after interventional therapy were searched from inception to September 10, 2016. Meta analysis was performed by 2 reviewers independently by screening literature, extracting data and evaluating the risk of bias in the study. RevMan 5.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 9 studies were included in the study, and 1164 patients were included. The Meta analysis results showed that:compared with 24 hours in bed after operation, 12 hours early ambulation method to reduce postoperative pain, postoperative [odds radio (OR)=0.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.03-0.15, P <0.05] and dysuria (OR =0.18, 95% CI 0.10-0.33, P < 0.05), abdominal distension (OR =0.14, 95% CI 0.07-0.29, P<0.05), insomnia (OR=0.15, 95% CI 0.05-0.43, P<0.05). But in the local punctura, such as congestion (OR=0.99, 95%CI 0.45-2.18, P=0.98), hematoma (OR=0.90, 95% CI 0.38-2.13, P=0.80), the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions The available evidence indicates that the early postoperative 12 hours after interventional therapy can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. To be included in the quantity and quality of the research, the conclusion still need to carry out more high-quality research to be verified.

ObjectiveTo determine endometrial thickness, endometrial volumeand, endometrial and subendometrial blood flows, by using transvaginal two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound examination and to compare the value of all the parameters in the prediction of endometrial receptivity during in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles.MethodsOne hundred and twenty patients undergoing IVF cycles were recruited for this study. Transvaginal 2D and 3D ultrasound examination was performed to determine endometrial thickness, endometrial volume, pulsatility index (PI), resisitance index (RI) , systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) of endometrial, subendometrial blood flows , vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) of endometrial and subendometrial regions by experienced sonographers on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection. Statistical comparison was carried out by Mann-Whitney test. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Statistic analyses were performed using SPSS 13.0. The two-tailed value of was considered statistically significant.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the pregnant group and non-pregnant group in endometrial thickness, endometrial volume (P>0.05). Patients in the pregnant group had lower PI, RI and S/D of endometrial and subendometrial blood flows than those in the non-pregnant group (Z=-3.811,-3.097,-2.071, P=0.001, 0.001, 0.038), with statisticalsignificant difference. Patients in the pregnant group had higher VI, FI and VFI of endometrial and subendometrial regions than those in the non-pregnant group (Z=-1.970,-2.698,-1.981, P=0.490, 0.007, 0.048;Z=-2.098,-2.090,-2.115,P=0.036, 0.037, 0.034), with statistical significant difference. ConclusionsEndometrial and subendometria blood flows measured by transvaginal 2D and 3D ultrasound can be as a reliable indicator to assess endometrial receptivity and predict the pregnancy outcome. Among all the endometrial and subendometrial blood flow parameters, VI of endometrial and subendometrial are better predicators.

Hydrogen spectrum nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR ) is a commonly used method for metabolomics and has been applied in the study of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer,however,study on serum metabolites in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)is rare.Aims:To investigate the capability of 1 H-NMR for screening serum metabolites of PBC.Methods:Twenty PBC patients,20 HBV-related cirrhosis patients and 20 healthy controls were detected by 1 H-NMR.The 1 H-NMR spectra data were processed by principal component analysis (PCA)and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA)so as to create the diagnostic model.Based on the correlation coefficient P (corr),VIP value and non-paired t test of OPLS-DA model,the differential metabolites between normal group and the two cirrhosis groups were screened.Results:OPLS-DA model could effectively distinguish healthy controls and PBC patients,model interpretation ability and prediction ability were 81.9% and 44.8%,respectively (P=0.0293), glutamine,folic acid,urocanic acid,4-ethylbenzoic acid were differential metabolites.OPLS-DA model could also effectively distinguish healthy controls and HBV-related cirrhosis patients, urocanic acid, 1-methylhistamine, 1-methyladenine,glucose,L-acetylcarnitine were differential metabolites.OPLS-DA model could not effectively distinguish PBC patients and HBV-related cirrhosis patients.Conclusions:Serum glutamine and folic acid may be the potential biomarkers of PBC,which may be closely related to the immune damage mechanism and prognosis of PBC;1 H-NMR combined with OPLS-DA diagnostic model are expected to become a new method for studying liver cirrhosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of long-term low dose prednisone administration on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with inactive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods A total of 118 inactive female SLE patients with long-term administration of low dose prednisone were recruited from the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at An hui Provincial Hospital.All patients were given low dose prednisone for long-term (≤ 10 mg/d,more than half a year).According to prednisone doses,subjects were divided into two groups,namely group A (≤7.5 mg/d) and group B (7.5-10 mg/d).In addition,patients were also divided into four groups based on the duration of administration,including group Ⅰ ≤3 years,Ⅱ from 4-5 years,Ⅲ 6-10 years and Ⅳ ＞ 10 years.Twenty-nine healthy people were recruitedas normal controls.The BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.The association of BMD with prednisone dose and duration was compared between different groups.Results The incidencc of osteopenia in all patients with SLE was 42.4％ (50/118),and the incidence of osteoporosis was 14.4％ (17/118).BMD of all bone sites in both group A and B were significantly lower than that in normal control group (P ＜ 0.05).Similarly,the BMD of all bone sites in group Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05).What needed to be stressed was the BMD in group Ⅳ was lower than those in other three groups (P ＜ 0.05).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the cumulative prednisone dose was the risk factor for osteopenia,while taking calcium and alfacalcidol were protective factors.Conclusion Long-term use of low dose prednisone result in the decrease of BMD in patients with inactive SLE.The lumbar spine and femoral neck had more severe osteopenia.Long-term administration of prednisone,even less than 7.5 mg/d,can also cause osteopenia.Calcium and alfacalcidol were protective factors of BMD.
