Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of early enteral nutrition in severe brain injury patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Methods: 56 patients requiring mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into two groups:A(n=28),EEN group peptisorb,1 000 ml a day;B(n=28),control group,PN.The changes of serum total protein,blood albumin,immune globulin,lymphocyte count,nitrogen balance,oxgenation index(PaO2/FiO2),ventilation parameter and blood routine were measured.APACHE Ⅱ,incidence of ventilator-associated pneumoniasurvival rate for 28 days and days in hospital were observed.Results: Incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia,28 d-survival rate and mean hospitalization day were significantly different(P

Objective To investigate the expression of gastrin, cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) and Ki-67 in dif-ferent gastric mucosal lesions and to assess the role of gastrin and COX-2 in the sequence of gastric carcinogenesis and its relationship. Methods 96 samples with different gastric mucosal lesions were obtained by gastroscope. The expression of gastrin,COX-2 and Ki-67 was examined with immunohistochemical staining technique(EnVision). Re-sults Positive rates of gastrin expression in chronic superficial gastritis (CSG), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), intestinal metaplasia(IM),dysplasia(Dy) and gastric cancer(GC) were 58.8 % ,30. 0% ,57.9 % ,68.2% and 77.8% ,respectively, and there were significant differences between GC and CAG(P<0.05). Positive rates of COX-2 expression in CSG,CAG,IM,Dy and GC were 41.2 % ,45.0% ,68.4 % ,72.7% and 88.9% respectively, and there were significant differences between GC and CAG(P<0.05). Ki-67 proliferation index (PI) from CSG, CAG, IM, Dy to GC also had an increasing tendency. From CAG to GC,the expression of gastrin and COX-2 was positively correlated with PI (P<0.05). The expression between gastrin and COX-2 was correlated significantly in gastric pre-cancerous lesions (P<0.01). PI was increased significantly in group with co-expression of gastrin and COX-2. Con-clusion Gastrin expression is decreased in CAG. From CAG to GC, gastrin expression is increased gradually. COX-2 expression has an increasing tendency in the sequence of gastric cancerization. From CSG to GC, PI is gradually in-creased. Gastrin and COX-2 co-promote proliferation of gastric epithelial cells,and gastrin may take part in up-regu-lation of COX-2 expression in gastric precancerous.

Objective To investigate the relationship between gastrin expression and the development of coloreetal neoplasm and cell proliferation.Methods 15 samples of normal coloreetal mucosal tissue,21 samples of coloreetal adenomas and 70 samples of colorectal cancer were selected for evaluation of the expression of gastrin and Ki67 with immunohistochemieal method.Results In normal colorectal mucosal tissues.colorectal adenomas and coloreetal cancer,the positive rates of gastrin expression were 0.28.6%and 25.7%,respectively-which were signff-ieantly hisher in coloreetal cancer and adenomas groups than in the normal colorectal mucosal tissues(P<0.05).But there was no significance between colorectal cancer and adenomas(P>0.05).The positive expression rate of Ki67 with the obove samples were 40.0%,76.2%and 82.8%-respectively,with statistical results identical with results of gastrin(P<0.05).There was significant correlation between gastrin and Ki67[P<0.05).Conclusion Gastrin and Ki67 are highly expressed in eolorectal neoplasm.Gastrin miight play an important role in the carcinogen-esis and development of colorectal neoplasm,and might promote tumor cell proliferation.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to evaluate the morphometric changes in the alveolar bone of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions after retraction in adolescents.

METHODSThe sample size comprised 30 adolescent patients with class 1 bimaxillary protrusion (12 males and 18 females, age: 12-18 years old) and were treated by extracting four first pre-molars. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed 1 month before and 1 month after the retraction. For each maxillary and mandibular anterior tooth, the labial and palatal alveolar plates at cervical 1/3, middle 1/3, and apical 1/3 levels for bone thickness changes during the retraction of the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions were checked. The movements of cervical 1/3, middle 1/3, and apical 1/3 levels of the maxillary central incisor were measured. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 16.0.

RESULTSFor the adolescents, alveolar bone thickness increased on the labial side and decreased on the palatal side. The alveolar bone thicknesses of cervical 1/3 and middle 1/3 of maxillary central incisor, cervical 1/3 and apical 1/3 of maxillary lateral incisor, middle 1/3 of mandibular central incisor, apical 1/3 of mandibular lateral incisor, and middle 1/3 and apical 1/3 of mandibular canine all increased after retraction. By contrast, the alveolar bone thickness of the apical 1/3 of maxillary canine and the cervical 1/3 of mandibular canine decreased after retraction. No statistically significant difference was observed in other region.

CONCLUSIONDuring retraction, a controlled tipping movement occur in adolescents. After retraction, the alveolar bone thickness of the labial side increase, whereas that of the palatal side decrease. Moreover, the thicknesses of major areas in the alveolar bone significantly increase.

Objective To investigate the relationship among A-type behavior,job burnout and psychosomatic health in grassroots officers and soldiers stationed in Xinjiang, which provides the theoretical basis to maintain their psychosomatic health.Methods Evaluation was carried out with A-type behavior questionnaire, military job burnout scale and simple soldiers psychosomatic health scale in 1 939 grassroots officers and soldiers chosen by random cluster sampling method from army stationed in Xinjiang.Results ①The total scores and each factor scores of the scale had significant positive correlation among the physical scale, the job buruout scale and time hurry (TH) ,competitive and hostility (CH) (r=0.170-0.716, P＜0.01).②Job burnout entered into the physical and mental health regression equation and could explain 68.6％ of the variance(β=0.195, t=32.211, P＜0.01);TH, CH entered the regression equation of job burnout and could explain 29.5％ of the variance(t=4.925,4.427).③ TH indirectly affected physical and mental health through job burnout, the mediating effect of the amount was 0.27 ×0.83=0.2241;CH indirectly affected physical and mental health by job bumout,the mediating effect of the amount was 0.30×0.83 =0.2490.Conclusion Job burnout has fully mediated effect between TH, CH and physical and mental health.
