Objective To investigate the variations of polysomnography of the patients with retardative depression and non-retardative depression. Methods Twenty-eight patients with depression without any medicine at least for 1 month and fifteen normal controls were assessed in this study. Based on the scores of retardation of Hamilton Depression Scale( HAMD), the patients were divided into the group of retardative depression and the group of non-retardative depression. Polysomnography was given to all the subjects. Results Compared with the normal controls, the depressive patients both in the retardative depression group and in the non-retardative depression group showed significant differences of lower total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), SWS% , rapid eye movement ) sleep time ( RT), REM sleep latency (RL) ( all P ＜ 0. 05 ), and higher sleep latency (SL) , awakening time( AT), awakening number( AN ), the percentage of AT( A/TST% ), the percentage of 1 sleep( S1 % ), the percentage of RT( RT% ), REM activity ( RA), and REM intensity (RI). REM density (RD) in the retardative depression group was significantly higher than both the non-retardative depression group and the control group ( t =2.36, P＜ 0. 05; t = 2.75, P＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Abnormalities of PSG in depression are proved, and RD may be relative to retardation. The differences of PSG do not existed between different kinds of depression such as retardative depression and non-retardative depression.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint injection at Neiguan (PC 6) plus acupuncture in treating insomnia due to heart-kidney disharmony.
Methods: A hundred patients with insomnia due to heart-kidney disharmony were randomized into an observation group and a control group. Fifty-three cases in the observation group were intervened by acupoint injection at Neiguan (PC 6) plus acupuncture; while 54 cases in the control group were intervened by acupuncture alone. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was evaluated before and after intervention, and the therapeutic efficacies of the two groups were compared.
Results: Acupoint injection at Neiguan (PC 6) plus acupuncture produced significantly higher efficacies in improving sleep quality, shortening sleep latency, and enhancing sleep efficiency than acupuncture alone (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The two groups both can improve the condition of insomnia; acupoint injection at Neiguan (PC 6) has significant advantages, manifested by a higher therapeutic efficacy for insomnia due to heart-kidney disharmony, higher safety evaluation, efficiency, and less adverse events, thus proper for clinical application.

ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the health education needs of TCM rehabilitation after hepatobiliary surgery,and the application effect of health education. Methods105 cases of hepatobiliary surgery patients were chosen.Homemade questionnaires with TCM rehabilitation related knowledge needs were used in the investigation.And then the health education of TCM rehabilitation was given to the patients.After these patients accepted the education and were rehabilitated,these patients were again taken TCM and rehabilitation of health education needs for investigation.The changes of the needs of the patients before and after education for the rehabilitation of health education on TCM were compared.The evaluation of the recovery effect for patients with TCM rehabilitation of health education in the liver and gallbladder surgery were taken for investigation. Results105 cases of patients with TCM and rehabilitation health knowledge education before and after the survey results showed that,the urgent need on the knowledge of TCM health rehabilitation rate after hepatobiliary surgery in patients increased significantly compared with before education.In the evaluation of the recovery effect of patients for TCM rehabilitation of health education in theliver and gallbladder surgery,the rate of thinking it effective in promoting postoperative recovery was 91.43％. ConclusionsHepatobiliary surgery patients were lack of knowledge of postoperative recovery of health knowledge of TCM and rehabilitation.By education and practical application,the patients understand the importance of health education on their postoperative rehabilitation,so TCM rehabilitation of health education has an important clinical significance in hepatobiliary surgery patients.

Most studies related to determining the expression profile of genes and specific promoters used histochemical localization of the reporter gene, gusA. While the histochemical method for visualizing gusA expression suffers from several limitations in the determination of gene expression and location, especially in the tissues with high background acitivty. To solve this problem, a transient expession vector pBI221-RFP/GFP, was constructed using GFP and RFP as double fluorescent marker genes. This vector used CaMV 35S promoter to drive GFP and determine the transforming efficiency. It analyzed expression profile of the target gene and promoter through the RFP activities of the tranformed tissues. Through the specific promoter AGPL1 from watermelon and E8 promoter from tomato, it is resistible to use this vector to study the expression patterns of promoters. Results indicated that the pBI221-RFP/GFP is a very efficient transient expression vector that can be verify the functions of the genes and promoters.

Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), the causative agent of classical swine fever (CFS), is a highly contagious disease that poses a serious threat to Chinese pig populations. Objectives: Many provinces of China, such as Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning provinces, have reported epidemics of CSFV, while the references to the epidemic of CSFV in Yunnan province are rare. This study examined the epidemic characteristics of the CSFV in Yunnan province. Methods: In this study, 326 tissue samples were collected from different regions in Yunnan province from 2015 to 2021. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), sequences analysis, and phylogenetic analysis were performed for the pathogenic detection and analysis of these 326 clinical specimens. Results: Approximately 3.37% (11/326) of specimens tested positive for the CSFV by RTPCR, which is lower than that of other regions of China. Sequence analysis of the partial E2 sequences of eleven CSFV strains showed that they shared 89.0–100.0% nucleotide (nt) and 95.0–100.0% amino acid (aa) homology, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these novel isolates belonged to the subgenotypes 2.1c and 2.1d, with subgenotype 2.1c being predominant. Conclusions The CSFV was sporadic in China’s Yunnan province from 2015 to 2021. Both 2.1c and 2.1d subgenotypes were found in this region, but 2.1c was dominant.

Objective:To observe the effect of supplementing vacuum sealing drainage with hyperbaric oxygen in the short term treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods:A total of 156 persons diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, each of 78. Both groups received life guidance and active treatment to lower blood sugar and lipids, as well as anti-infection treatment guided by bacterial cultures. Both groups′ wounds were debrided. The wound was then covered with foam, sealed, and negative pressure of -75 to -100mmHg was applied during 1 week of drainage. Two courses of this treatment were applied. In addition, the treatment group received hyperbaric oxygen daily during the two weeks. The exposure pressure was incrased to 0.25MPa over 15min with 100% oxygen. That was inhaled in two 30min sessions with a 10min interval. The pressure then decompressed at a constant rate for 25 minutes. Wound healing, hemorheology, wound granulation tissue staining and any changes in TGF-β1 were observed before as well as after 7 and 14 days of the treatment.Results:The average wound size and symptom score of both groups had improved significantly after the treatment, with the largest effect in the treatment group during the first week. Both groups′ hemorheology had improved significantly after one week, but the treatment group′s improvement was greater. After 2 weeks, however, there was no significant difference in the average hemorheologic indicators for either group compared with before the treatment. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the wound tissues showed that there were many inflamed cells before the treatment, with relatively little fresh granulation tissue or new blood vessels. After one week of treatment much new granulation tissue was observed under the microscope in both groups, with no significant difference between them. One week later, there was still much granulation tissue in the control group, but slightly less in the treatment group. The ave-rage post-treatment TGF-β1 protein levels in the wound tissues of both groups were significantly higher than before the treatment, but after two weeks the average TGF-β1 protein level had decreased significantly in the treatment group compared with the control group.Conclusions:One week of hyperbaric oxygen treatment can effectively improve the hemorheology of persons with diabetic foot ulcers, promote the proliferation of granulation tissue and fibroblasts, and increase the level of TGF-β1 protein in the wound tissues. However, the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment weaken gradually with time.
