Objective To describe the clinical features of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in popular period and other period.Methods All the HFRS patients from epidemic areas in Xi' an were surveyed retrospectively.The sociodemographic data,symptom characteristics and laboratory test results were collected.Chi-square test,rank test were used to analyze the data.Results Totally 429 HFRS cases were recruited including 280 male (65.3％) and the male/female ratio was 1.9 ∶ 1.Adults with 16-60 years of age were the main group,which accounted for 74.8％ of the total cases.The constituent ratios of cases with 16-60 years of age in popular period and other period were 76.1％ (245/322) and 71.0％ (76/107),respectively; the sex ratios were 1.93∶1 and 1.74∶1,respectively; the time from fever onset to hospitalization was 3 d and 4 d,respectively; the time of hospitalization was both 10 d; the proportions of emergency cases were 59.8％ (189/316) and 67.6％ (71/105),respectively; the proportions of cured cases were 56.4％ (181/321) and 43.4％ (46/106),respectively.The clinical features were not significantly different between popular period and other period (all P＞0.05).The immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody positive rate was 85.4％ (315/369) and those in popular period and other period were 88.4％ (251/ 284) and 75.3％ (64/85),respectively (x2 =8.968,P＜0.01).There was a positive correlation between symptom severity and outcome of discharge (x2=18.558,P＜ 0.01),the more slight symptoms were related with the better outcome.Conclusion The clinical features are similar in cases from popular period and other period from Jan 2008 to Jun 2011.

Objective To study the effects of tonifying kidney therapy on pathology in chronic hepatitis B virus carriers.MethodsWith the multi-center, randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled methods, 600 cases of chronic hepatitis B virus carriers were divided intoBushen Qingtou group,Bushen Jianpi group and control group, 200 cases in each group, and were treated withBushen Qingtou prescription,Bushen Jianpi prescription and placebo prescription respectively for 52 weeks. The pathological changes of the liver biopsy were observed by liver biopsy examination before and after treatment. Inflammatory active degree and fibrosis were scored with Knodell HAI and Ishak.Results The number of decreasing more than 2 points on Knodell HAI inBushen Qingtou group,Bushen Jianpi group and control group was 21, 18, and 6 respectively (P<0.05); the number of increasing more than 2 points on Knodell HAI in three groups was 3, 2, and 8 respectively (P<0.05). The curative effect ofBushen Qingtou prescription,Bushen Jianpi prescription were significantly obviously better than control group, without statistical significnce between the two treatment groups (P>0.05). The number of decreasing more than 1 points on Ishak in Bushen Qingtou group,Bushen Jianpi group, and control group was 13, 12, and 9 respectively (P>0.05); the number of increasing more than 1 points on Ishak inBushen Qingtou group,Bushen Jianpi group and control group was 8, 3, and 11 respectively, with statistical significance betweenBushen Jianpi group and controlled group (P<0.01), without statistical significance betweenBushen Qingtou group and control group (P>0.05), which meantBushenJianpi prescription could prevent the deterioration of liver tissue fibrosis more significantly than placebo prescription did. ConclusionTonifying kidney therapy, includingBushen Qingtou prescription andBushen Jianpi prescription, can inhibit the inflammatory activity and slow down the fibrosis progression of the chronic HBV carriers.

To explore the effect of growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) on myocardial cell apoptosis in heart failure (HF) rats. Methods: Rat's HF model was established by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery induced ischemia. 40 male SD rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: Normal control group, Sham operation group, HF group and GHRP treated HF group. n=10 in each group and the rats were fed for 4 weeks after the operation. Cardiac function was examined and myocardial cell morphology was observed; protein expressions of Smac/DIABL0 and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blot analysis; cell apoptosis was evaluated by FCM technique. The differences for above parameters were compared among groups to explore the effect of GHRP on myocardial cell apoptosis in HF rats. Results: Compared with HF group, GHRP treated HF group showed the less heart dilation, higher LVEF, lighter pathological changes in myocardial cells and decreased protein expression of Smac/DIABL0, all P<0.05. Bcl-2 level was lower in HF group than the other 3 groups, P<0.05. Compare with Normal control group, GHRP treated HF group had elevated Bcl-2 level, all P<0.05. Myocardial cell apoptosis index was different between HF group and GHRP treated HF group, P<0.05. Conclusion: The effect of GHRP on anti-HF should be via inhibiting myocardial cell apoptosis; the mechanism may partly be through promoting Bcl-2 protein expression and depressing Smac/DIABLO mediated mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.

Objective Pemetrexed and β-elemene can inhibit the growth of tumor cells .This study was to investigate the effect of pemetrexed combined with β-elemene on the proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer HeLa cells. Methods Cervical cancer HeLa cells were treated with pemetrexed at the concentrations of 38, 76, 152, 228, and 304μg/mL, and at 24 and 48 hours of treatment subjected to MTT for detection of their proliferation .The experiment included four groups , with the cells treated with β-elemene ( 125μg/mL) , pemetrexed ( 76 μg/mL ) , β-elemene ( 125 μg/mL ) +pemetrexed (76μg/mL), and nothing (blank control) for 24 hours, followed by determination of their proliferation and apoptosis by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Results Pemetrexed at 38, 76, 152 and 228μg/mL inhibited the proliferation of the HeLa cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with the inhibition rates of (7.24 ±3.78), (7.94 ±4.37), (11.10 ±2.86) and (15.88 ± 3.38)%at 24 hours, and (16.69 ±0.95), (22.54 ±1.53), (24.48 ±0.92) and (25.54 ±3.61)%at 48 hours, both with statis-tically significant differences between any two groups (P<0.05).Significant differences were also found in the proliferation rate of the same concentration of pemetrexed at the two time points (P<0.05).The combination of pemetrexed and β-elemene showed an inhibi-tion rate of (49.95 ±5.76)%at 24 hours, remarkably higher than (24.36 ±5.59)%in theβ-elemene group and (10.69 ±1.37)%in the pemetrexed group (P<0.01). Conclusion Pemetrexed combined with β-elemene can significantly inhibit the proliferation and synergistically accelerate the apoptosis of HeLa cells .

Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic trauma. Methods The clinical data of 260 patients with hepatic trauma admitted from January 1988 to December 2007 were retrospectively reviewed with regard to degree of trauma, treatment methods, therapeutical effects, complications and SO on. Results One hundred and fifty-three eases were treated by operative management,1 07 cases by nonoperative management.236 cases were cured,24 cases died,and the case fatality rate was 10.2%.There were no death among 139 patients with hepatic trauma grades Ⅰ～Ⅱ,22 death among 119 grades Ⅲ～Ⅴ patients, all death of 2 in grade VI, which demonstrated the correlation between death and hepatic trauma grade was statistically significant. Complications appeared in 82 eases, mainly including Secondary hemorrhage, abdominal infection and so on. Conclusions Nonoperative management is suitable for hepatic trauma with stable hemodynamics. Operative management is rapidly selected when the hemodynamics aren't stable. The cooperation of many specialities can enlarge the application of nonoperative management and decrease complications.

Objective To investigate the early diagnosis value of MR by detecting spinal inflammatory lesions in ankylosing spon-dylitis (AS).Methods Forty patients were involved in this study,including 20 cases with short inflammatory back pain (IBP)histo-ry (duration ≤18 months)and 20 cases with long IBP history (duration ≥24 months).MR images were analyzed retrospectively. Results Patients with a short history of IBP had 7 lesions in vertebral bodies (anterior/posterior spondylitis and spondylodiscitis) and 33 lesions in posterior spinal structures (arthritis of costovertebral joints,costotransversal joints,zygapophyseal joints and en-thesitis of spinal ligaments).Patients with a long history of IBP had 27 lesions in vertebral bodies and 24 lesions in posterior spinal structures.Patients with a short history of IBP had significantly more lesions in posterior spinal structures than in vertebral bodies with 82.5% (33/40)vs 1 7.5% (7/40),respectively (P <0.01).In contrast,patients with a long history of IBP had significantly more inflammation in vertebral bodies with 79.4% (27/34)vs 20.6% (7/34),respectively (P <0.01).Conclusion Inflammatory spinal lesions in patients with a short history of IBP are seen more often in the posterior structures.Early detection of inflammatory spinal lesions by MRI is useful for early diagnosis of AS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between electrolyte level change with prognosis in the patients with craniocerebral injury.Methods A total of 360 patients with craniocerebral injury in this hospital during 2012-2015 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the mild craniocerebral injury group (171 cases),moderate craniocerebral injury group(104 cases)and severe craniocerebral injury group(85 cases) according to the Glasgow coma scale.The severe craniocerebral injury group was further divided into the high level blood sodium subgroup(73 cases)and stable level blood sodium subgroup(12 cases)according to the lev-el of blood sodium,meanwhile 70 persons undergoing healthy physical examination were selected as the control group.The plasma electrolyte levels(blood sodium,potassium,chloride)in each group were detected within 5 d after admission.Then the results were statistically analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the blood sodium,potassium and chloride levels had no statistical difference between the mild and moderate craniocerebral injury groups(P>0.05).The blood sodium and chloride levels in the severe craniocerebral inju-ry group were higher than those in the mild and moderate craniocerebral injury groups,the difference was sta-tistically significant(P<0.01).The blood potassium level had no statistical difference between the mild,mod-erate and severe craniocerebral injury groups with control group(P>0.05).In the severe craniocerebral injury group,there were 58 cases(79.45%)of death in the high level blood sodium subgroup and 4 cases(33.33%) of death in the stable level blood sodium subgroup,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Con-clusion Clinically monitoring the blood sodium level change in the patients with craniocerebral injury,espe-cially severe craniocerebral injury,is conducive to the disease recovery.

Objective To investigate the psychological resilience in the family members of children with cryptorchidism and to explore relevant influencing factors so as to provide a basis for enhancing the family members' psychological resilience and disease response capacity.Methods The family members of totally 186 children with cryptorchidism who received surgery between July 2012 and December 2016 were selected by convenience sampling. The family members' general info, level of social support and psychological resilience were then investigated. And statistical methods adopted in this study included χ2 test, descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate hierarchical regression analysis.Results Totally 101(54.9%) out of the 184 family members showed good psychological resilience; 60(32.6%) of them showed bad psychological resilience,and 23 (12.5%)of them showed the worst psychological resilience. There was statistically significant difference in psychological resilience between the family members with different education background, profession, monthly income, address and social support (χ2=10.272, 27.889, 11.425, 12.521, 12.873;P<0.05), and education background, profession, monthly income and social support were major influencing factors of psychological resilience (R2=0.659;F=32.875,P<0.001).Conclusions The poorer education background, social support, monthly income, living environment and working conditions the family members have, the worse their psychological resilience is. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to family members with poor education background, social support, monthly income, living environment and working conditions so as to enhance their psychological resilience and disease response capacity.

Objective To explore the effects of preoperative fun game on the physiological indicators and the degree of cooperation in the treatment of Bianchi in cryptorchidism children. Methods From July 2013 to June 2016, totally 136 cases of cryptorchidism children who were treated with Bianchi method in Affiliated Hospital of Ji'ning Medical University were selected as research objects. The patients were numbered according to the order of admission, and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 68 cases in each by random table method. The control group was given routine psychological education, while the observation group was treated with interest game before operation. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), modified Yale preoperative anxiety scale (mYPSA), and the degree of anesthesia coordination were compared between the two groups when entering operation room and during anesthesia induction. Results There was no statistical difference in MAP and HR of the children between the two groups when entering operation room (P>0.05), whereas the MAP and HR of the observation group children were significantly lower than those of the control group during anesthesia induction, and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.012, 2.498;P<0.05). There was no significant difference in anxiety scores between the two groups when entering operation room (P> 0.05). However, during the anesthesia induction the anxiety score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.021, P<0.01). The score of cooperation level in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group, with statistical difference (Z=3.578,P< 0.01). Conclusions The application of preoperative fun game in the Bianchi treatment of cryptorchidism children can improve patients' cooperation degree and reduce preoperative anxiety.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effects and prognostic factors of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of a total of 148 patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma enrolled in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2007 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients received 5-Fu/Cisplatin or Paclitaxel/Cisplatin for chemotherapies. The total treatment dose for the radiotherapy was delivered at 36-40Gy under conventional fractionation. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, and Log-rank test and Cox model were performed for univariate analysis and multivariate analysis, respectively.Results:The overall survival (OS) rates of 1-, 3-and 5-year were 74%, 51% and 51%, respectively, with a median survival time (MST) of 72.4 months. The carcinoma/disease-free survival (DFS) rates for 1, 3, 5 years were 60%, 51%, 45%, respectively, with a median time of 60.1 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year OS rates of the pCR group were 86%, 70%, 70%, the ones of which in the non-pCR group were 70%, 44%, 43%, respectively ( P=0.002). The 1-, 3-and 5-year DFS rates were 76%, 71%, 68% for the pCR group, and 53%, 43%, 37% for the non-pCR group, respectively ( P=0.002). In pN(-) group and pN(+ ) group, the 1-, 3-and 5-year OS rates were 83%, 56%, 55% and 50%, 38%, 38%( P=0.004), respectively. Further, the 1-, 3-and 5-year DFS rates were 66%, 56%, 51% for the pN(-) group, and 43%, 38%, 31% for the pN(+ ) group ( P=0.006), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that pCR and pN status were independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS ( P=0.012, 0.011 and P=0.025, 0.033). Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, while pCR and pN status served as independent prognostic factors.
