Objective: To investigate the compliance of smoking cessation and the effect of smoking status on long-term clinical prognosis in male patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after drug-eluting stent (DES) therapy. Methods: A total of 656 ACS patients after DES therapy were studied, according to the post-operative smoking status, the patients were divided into 3 groups: Non-smoking group,n=226, Quit smoking group,n=283 and Persistent smoking group, n=147. The patients were followed-up for the average of 27 months, the major adverse cardio-/cerebral-vascular events (MACCE) were recorded in detail, and the effect of smoking status for MACCE occurrence were evaluated by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Results: The pre-operative smoking rate was 65.5% (430/656) of patients and post-operative smoking rate was 22.4% (147/656). Compared with Non-smoking group and Quit smoking group, the patients in Persistent smoking group had the younger age (P<0.001), more patients with abnormal blood lipids (P=0.005) and having lower level of education (P<0.001). The all cause death rates in Non-smoking group, Quit smoking group and Persistent smoking group were at 1.8%, 1.1% and 6.1% respectively,P=0.004; the MACCE occurrence rates were at 7.1%, 5.3% and 15.0% respectively,P=0.002. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that post-operative smoking was the independent risk factor for MACCE occurrence, HR =1.404, 95% CI (1.206-1.793),P=0.008. Conclusion: Smoking is the independent risk factor for MACCE occurrence in male ACS patients after DES therapy.

Objective: To explore the clinical study of different frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of senile schizophrenia. Methods: The 70 elderly schizophrenics admitted to Kangning Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University from February 2018 to August 2019 were randomly divided into observation group (35 cases) and control group (35 cases). High frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation was used in the observation group and low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation was used in the control group. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The changes of clinical global impression (CGI), positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), cognitive function rating scale for schizophrenia (SCoRS), scale of social-skills for psychiatric inpatients(SSPI) and serum sex hormone levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, the CGI and PANSS scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment [observation group:(2.43 ± 0.37) scores vs. (5.61 ± 0.58) scores, (35.73 ± 6.57) scores vs. (79.95 ± 8.98) scores, t=27.346 and 23.512; control group: (3.37 ± 0.48) scores vs. (5.49 ± 0.62) scores, (40.91 ± 8.17) scores vs. (78.64 ± 9.63) scores, t=15.996 and 17.675, P<0.05]; after treatment, the CGI and PANSS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (t=9.176, 2.923, P<0.05). After treatment, the SCoRS scores of the two groups was lower than those before treatment (observation group: t=12.822, control group: t=7.402, P<0.05); after treatment, the SCoRS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group [(27.92 ± 5.41) scores vs. (34.25 ± 6.17) scores] (t=4.564, P<0.05). The SSPI scores of the two groups increased after treatment (observation group: t=9.252; control group: t=3.671, P<0.05); after treatment, the SSPI scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group [(35.74 ± 3.27) scores vs. (30.85 ± 2.28) scores](t=7.257, P<0.05). After treatment, the serum testosterone and prolactin levels in the two groups were higher than those before treatment (observation group: t=13.853, 15.198; control group: t=10.075 and 9.225, P<0.05); after treatment, the serum testosterone and prolactin levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (t=5.693 and 7.202, P<0.05). Conclusions High frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is superior to low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of senile schizophrenia, and the improvement of sex hormone level is superior to low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and the improvement of cognitive and social functions is superior to low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway on lipid deposition and autophagy related protein expressions in aortic atherosclerosis mice.Methods:Ten 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were used as control group, and 20 male apolipoprotein E gene knockout ( ApoE-/-) mice at the same age were randomly divided into AS group and bortezomib (BTZ) group ( n=10). Mice in the AS group and BTZ group were fed with high-fat diet for 8 weeks; and then, mice in the BTZ group were injected intraperitoneally with 50 μg/kg BTZ (twice a week, for 4 weeks), while mice in the AS group were injected with same amount of saline. The general states of mice in each group were observed during the experiment process. Twelve weeks after intervention, the body weight and the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured; the pathological morphology and lipid deposition of plaques at the aortic roots were observed by oil red O staining and HE staining; the expressions of NF-κB and NLRP3 were detected by immunohistochemistry; the expressions of Beclin-1, P62, and Atg12 were measured by Western blotting. Results:After 12 weeks of intervention, the body weight, contents of TC and LDL, pathological degrees, proportion of lipid deposition, positive expressions of NF-κB and NLRP3, and P62 protein expression in the AS group and BTZ group were significantly higher than those in the control group, while these indexes in the BTZ group were significantly lower than those in the AS group ( P<0.05); HDL content, protein expression levels of Beclin-1 and Atg12 in the AS group and BTZ group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while these indexes in the BTZ group were significantly higher than those in the AS group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Inhibition of NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway can reduce lipid deposition by regulating lipid content and mediate the autophagy related protein expressions to promote autophagy, thereby inhibiting the process of AS.

OBJECTIVETo understand mental health status of the students and adults in the earthquake disaster areas, as to providing guidance on intervention for post-disaster psychological crisis.

METHODSThe Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), an appendix of The Ministry of Health of "emergency psychological crisis intervention guiding principles", was used among 1222 victims in Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan province. This questionnaire survey was conducted in 729 students and 493 adult victims in a randomized method. Of the 734 questionnaires distributed and received in students, 729 were validly responded with efficiency rate of 99.32%; while for adults, 496 questionnaires distributed, 496 received, 493 were valid with efficiency rate of 99.39%.

RESULTS(1) In students victims, 65% responded that they did feel "uneasy, nervous or worried", followed by "easy to be scared", "feel unhappy", "easy fatigue" and "hard to make a decision". For adult victims, 80.5% replied that they felt "uneasy, nervous or worried", followed by "feel unhappy", "easy fatigue", "difficult sleeping", "easy to be scared". (2) The average of the SRQ score of student victims was 6.58 +/- 3.99, and 6.07 +/- 4.02 for males, 7.03 +/- 3.91 for females. The average of the SRQ score of student victims was 7.36 +/- 3.98, male 6.68 +/- 3.82, female 7.99 +/- 4.03. The significant differences (t(women) = 2.985, P < 0.01; t(total) = 3.332, P < 0.01) was observed in women and the total group of students and adults. (3) The SRQ positive screening rate of students group was 46.50%, the adult group was 52.33%, SRQ >or= 7 points and SRQ < 7 sub-group of students and adults of the total score there were significant differences (t(1) = 39.771, P < 0.01; t(2) = 31.961, P < 0.01). SRQ >or= 7 sub-group of students and adult women in between there was a significant difference (t = 23.641, P < 0.01), SRQ < 7 sub-group of students and adults in general and women there were significant differences (t(1) = 3.092, P < 0.01; t(2) = 2.911, P < 0.01). (4) SRQ scores with gender and age had had a positive relation (r(SRQ total-sex) = 0.118, P = 0.000; r(SRQ total-age) = 0.103, P = 0.000).

CONCLUSIONThe emotional suffering symptoms of students victims and adult victims should be "nervous, unhappy, vulnerable on issues such as fatigue", the adult group had a higher symptom rate than the group of students, the mental health was more serious than that of students, as influenced by some factors including age and gender. Students, being a special population group should be paid more attention to focusing a designated behavior intervention, as a planned manner of intervention.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of amitriptyline combined with Xiaoyao Powder in the treatment of postpartum depression. Methods: From January 2018 to February 2018, 128 patients with postpartum depression in the Second People's Hospital of Lishui were selected.The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the digital table, with 64 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with Chinese and western medicine (amitriptyline combined with Xiaoyao Powder), and the control group was treated with amitriptyline alone.The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, and the concise health survey scale (SF-36) score before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: The SDS scores of the two groups were decreased after treatment (t=4.564, 3.656, P=0.012, 0.027), and the SDS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P=0.035). The SDS scores had no statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment (P=0.961). The SAS scores in the two groups were decreased after treatment (t=4.352, 3.432, P=0.015, 0.029). The SAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.021, P=0.038). After treatment, the scores of SF-36 in the observation group were significantly increased (all P<0.05), and the comparison of various indicators: emotional function (t=2.951, P=0.048), vitality (t=3.012, P=0.042), mental health (t=3.131, P=0.043), social function (t=2.967, P=0.048), physical pain (3.320, P=0.039), physiological function (t=3.467, P=0.038), physiological function (t=3.986, P=0.035), overall health (t=4.045, P=0.021), which had statistically significant differences compared with the control group. Conclusion Amitriptyline combined with Xiaoyao Powder in the treatment of postpartum depression can significantly improve the quality of life and improve the anxiety and depressive symptoms of patients, which is better than amitriptyline alone.

Objective: To explore the correlation between serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder. Methods: A total of 99 patients with bipolar disorder were enrolled from the inpatient of Suzhou Guangji Hospital.Serum HDL levels were measured by enzymatic colourimetry.Cognitive function was assessed by the repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS). The relationship between serum high density lipoprotein and cognitive function was analyzed by correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: Serum HDL levels ((1.39±0.55)mmol/L)were positively correlated with the RBANS total score (68.92±12.48)(r=0.238, P=0.034) and language score(80.59±15.97) (r=0.239, P=0.033) in patients with bipolar disorder.Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that serum HDL level was the influencing factor of total score of RBANS(β=4.791, t=2.151, P=0.035)and speech function(β=7.363, t=2.247, P=0.027). Conclusion Serum HDL levels can influence cognitive function, especially speech function in patients with bipolar disorder.
