Objective To explore the effect of non-directed musical therapy on the automatic thoughts and therapeutic effect of depression.Methods 60 people outpatient and inpatient who with depression disorder participated in this research.According to the medical order,we choose the people who with Cardinality order as the group of the musical therapy (study group) and the people with the even order as the group of drug therapy (control group).all the patients was test with the Hamilton's Depression Scale (HAMD-24) and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ) before and after 2,4,8 weeks treatment,and comparison of these questionnaires scores of the two groups.Results After the 2,4,8 weeks treatment,the HAMD scores of the study group was (15.70±2.63),(10.03±2.28),(6.00± 1.98) and the scores of control group was (17.43±2.62),(12.47±2.75),(7.50±2.03).The result of HAMD scores had significant difference(F=11.754,P=0.001).ATQ scores of the study group was (73.27± 17.60),(58.33± 13.66),(47.43± 11.94) and the scores of control group was(84.20±22.30),(72.53±20.86),(58.90± 18.61).The result of ATQ scores had significant difference(F=4.136,P=0.047).Conclusion Non-directive musical imagery could be an effective way to improve the automatic thoughts of people who with depression disorder and improve the effect of treatment.

Objective:To study the influence of miR-221 in theβcells of mice with diabetic nephropathy (DN), and to clarify the protective effect of miR-221 on DN.Methods:Twenty wild type C57BL/6J mice aged 8 weeks were divided into control group and DN group (n=10).The DN mice models were constructed with 14 weeks of high fat diet,and 100 mg·kg-1 streptozotocin (STZ)was used to induce the partial insulin deficiency.10 weeks later the blood glucose,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen content and 24h-urinary albumin excretion rate were detected.Theβcells of islet were isolated from the DN mice.The expression level of SOCS3 mRNA inβ cells of islet was valued by Real-time PCR.The proliferation of pancreaticβcells of islet was examined by MTT assay.The contents of insulin and insulin release levels in pancreaticβ cells of islet were detected by ELISA assay.Luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the luciferase reporter gene activity of SOCS3.Results:The DN mouse models were constructed successfully.The blood glucose,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen and 24h-urinary albumin excretion rate of the mice in DNA group were higher than those in control group (P < 0.05 ).After overexpression of miR-221,the expression level of SOCS3 mRNA in pancreaticβcells of islet and the proliferation ability ofβcells of islet of the mice in DN group were lower than those of normal islet cells (P < 0.05).Then luciferase reporter gene method found SOCS3 as one of the target genes of miR-221.After overexpression of miR-221,the insulin release level and insulin content in pancreaticβcells of islet were higher than those of normal islet cells (P <0.05).Conclusion:miR-221 can promopt the synthesis and secretion ofβ cells of islet and inhibit the dysfunction ofβcells of islet in the DN mice by down-regulating the SOCS3 level.

Objective To compare the high risk factors, complications, treatment and prognosis of respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in neonates at different gestational age (GA). Methods Between August 2012 and July 2013, 156 neonates with RDS were selected and distributed into 3 groups, 42 early preterm (GA<34weeks), 52 late preterm (GA 35 to 36 weeks), and 62 in term group (GA≥37 weeks). Retrospectively analysis was performed for high risk factors, complications, treatment and prognosis of the three groups. Results In 156 neonates with RDS, the male and female proportion was 2.25:1. All groups had more males, but the gender difference has no statistical signiifcance in three groups (P=0.923). The onset time of RDS and the hospitalization time both show an increasing trend of statistical signiifcance (P<0.05). Comparing the difference of high risk factors for RDS of the 3 groups, birth asphyxia, placental abnormalities, multiple pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes was most common in early preterm group, and followed by late preterm group, and C-section was most common in term group and unexplained preterm was more common in early preterm group than that in late preterm group (all P<0.05). Among the three groups, the ratio of pulmonary surfactant application was the lowest in the term group, the ratio of X-ray grade over II was high-est in early preterm group, oxygen and hospitalization time were the longest in early preterm group (P<0.05). The risks of com-plicated with pulmonary infection, intracranial hemorrhages and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were the highest in early preterm group and the risk of complicated pneumothorax was the highest in term group. Among three groups, the recovery rate was the lowest in the early preterm group (P<0.01). Conclusion The clinical characteristics, high risk factors, complications and treat-ment responses of RDS in neonates with different GA were different, so GA should be considered for diagnose and treatment. For the term infants, the elective caesarean section should be strictly controlled, in order to reduce the incidence of RDS.

Objective To explore the prevalence and related risk factors of thyroid nodule in elderly patients(age ≥ 60 years old) with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)) in Xinjiang region.Methods Two hundreds and two elderly patients with T2DM were selected,including 91 cases of thyroid nodule(thyroid nodule group) and111 cases of non-thyroid nodule (control group).The disease history,body mass index(BMI),fasting blood-glucose (FBG),2-h postprandial blood glucose(2 h PBG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),triglyceride(TG),cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein(HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein(LDL-C) were collected for statistical analysis.Results The age,gender,BMI,TC and HbA1c had statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.05);the disease course,pulse pressure,systolic pressure,abdominal perimeter,smoking history,HDL,TG,FBG and 2 h PBG had no statistical differences netween the thyroid nodule group and non-thyroid nodule group (P>0.05).The multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the age,gender,TC,HbA1c and BMI were the risk factors of thyroid nodule occurrence.Conclusion Conducting the thyroid nodule related imaging examination has an important clinical significance for diabetic elderly women patients with obesity and cholesterol increase.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the importance of assessment of fetal cardiac output (CO) for the prediction of complications of pregnancy. METHODS: We evaluated 65 fetuses and all of them had a fetal cardiac scan at 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. To measure CO, diameters (d) of the left right ventricle outflow tract were measured just above the valves. Each left CO (LCO) and right CO (RCO) was derived using the following equation: CO = velocity time integral ×π× d²/4 × heart rate. Pregnancy complications included gestational hypertensive disorders, fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preterm birth (PTB) caused from preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM). RESULTS: There were 23 cases with one more pregnancy complication (FGR, 9; gestational hypertensive disorders, 8; PTB caused from PTB or PPROM, 12). The LCO was lower in complication group than in normal group (88±53 vs. 117±48 mL/min, P=0.028). The RCO to the LCO ratio (RCO/LCO) was higher in complication group (2.43±1.69 vs. 1.48±0.81, P=0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that RCO/LCO was a significant predictor of pregnancy complication; Odds ratio was 7.76 (95% CI, 1.15 to 52.21; P=0.029). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve for prediction of pregnancy complications from LCO was 0.71. The diagnostic cut-off value of LCO was 80 mL/min. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve from RCO/LCO was 0.68 and cut-off value was 1.41. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that pregnancy complications can be suspected based on fetal CO assessments at a GA of 20 to 24 weeks.

Objective Parainfluenza virus is an important pathogen of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children.This study was to search for a method for rapid culture and identification of human parainfluenza viruses from nasal swabs. Methods Nasal swab specimens were collected from 0-5 years old children with acute respiratory tract infection.The specimens were inoculated onto 96 plates with prefabricated LLC-MK2 cells and then centrifuged for 1 hour at 3000 r/min and also inoculated using the traditional culture method, followed by addition of virus mainte-nance medium containing 4 μg/mL TPCK trypsin.The cytopathic effect was observed daily, and hemagglutination and blood absorption tests were done at 2, 5, and 8 days after inoculation.In case of posi-tive result of either test, the specimen was subjected to immunofluo-rescence staining. Results Six strains of parainfluenza virus were isolated from the 83 nasal swab specimens, with a positive rate of 7.2%.There was a significant difference in the rate of separation be-tween the rapid and traditional culture methods after 2 days of culturing (7.2%vs 0%, P<0.05).The infected cells produced a cy-topathic effect that characterized by syncytium and crush formation.Hemagglutination and blood adsorption tests were positive at 4℃and negative at the room temperature.Immunofluorescence staining exhibited specific apple green fluorescence. Conclusion The method for rapid culture and identification of human parainfluenza viruses in nasal swab specimens was successfully established, which can be used to obtain and identify parainfluenza viruses with virulence and biological activity in 2 days.

Objective To evaluate salmeterol/fluficasone combined with N-acetylcysteine in treatment of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Sixty patients with stable COPD were randomized into treatment group(n = 30) and control group(n = 30). Patients in control group were given salmeterol/fluticasone twice per day ; while patients in treatment group in addition to salmeterol/ fluticasone, also took N-acetylcysteine 0.6 g three times per day. The course of treatment lasted for four weeks. Pulmonary function was measured in all patients; interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), superoxide dismntase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood serum and induced sputum were determined. The white cell count and classification in sputum smear was examined and the quality of life (QOL) of patients was evaluated. Results FEV1, FEV1 %, QOL evaluation, IL-8, TNF-α, white cell count and the percentage of neutrophil granulocytes in induced sputum after treatment were significantly improved compared with those before treatment in control group (P <0.05 or P <0.01). FEV1, FEV1%, QOL evaluation, SOD and MDA in blood serum, IL-8, TNF-α, SOD and MDA, total white cell count, the percentage of neutrophil granulocytes and macrophage in induced sputum after treatment were significantly improved in treatment group (P <0. 05 or P <0.01). The differences in SOD and MDA in blood serum and the percentage of neutrophil granulocytes in induced sputum smear between treatment group and control group were staffsticaUy significant (93 ± 8) × 10-6 U/L, (4. 0 ± 1.0) × 10-3 mmol/L and 0. 5 ± 0. 3 vs (85 ± 10) ×10-6U/L,(4.2±1.1) ×10-3mmol/Land0.6±0.2; allP<0.05. Conclusion Combination of salmeterol/fluticasone and N-acetylcysteine has better therapeutic results in treatment of airway inflammation of stable COPD.
