Chinese Mental Health Journal 1992;0(01):-
Objective:To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genetype and the depressed symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods:The genotypes and alleles of apolipoprotein E gene in 26 depressed patients with coronary heart disease,30 non-depressed patients with coronary heart disease and 30 healthy control subjects were examined with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) technique.Meanwhile, the HRSD was completed by all 86 subjects. Results:The frequency of Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 in depressed patients with coronary heart disease was more than that in normal subjects .Especially the total cholesterol, HRSD and HAD in patients with the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 were significantly higher than those in patients without the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4. Conclusion:Our results support the polymorphisms of apolipoprotein E gene were associated with the depressed symptoms in coronary heart disease. Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 may play a major role in the pathogenesis of depressed symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease.

Anorexia Nervosa(AN),one kind of eating disorder charactered by abnormal eating patterns,low body weight,and weight and shape concerns,is an intractable psychiatric illness which has the highest mortality rates.The etiology of AN is complex,and the neurobiology mechanisms of AN remain unclear.Much of the research provided indications that the pathogenesis of AN is associated with the oxytocin (OT) functions.Summarizing the recent advances on OT in AN,a systematic review of OT research was conducted that it pertains to regulation of feeding,social activity,emotion and bone metabolism in AN.OT probably play an important role in the development and progression of AN.OT system disorder may be an state indicator rather than a trait indicator of AN.Because of the variety physiological effects and the complex effects on AN,OT has the potential applications,especially for the treatment of AN.

Objective To understand the epigenetic regulations of P16 during cellular replicative senescence and premature senescence induced by hydrogen peroxide of human embryonic lung fibroblasts(HEFs).Methods The normal HEFs were divided into young cells(22 PDL),mid-aged cells(35 PDL)and replicative senescent cells(49 PDL)during replicative senescence.The synchronously cultured 22 PDL HEFs were exposed for 2 h to 400?mol/L H_2O_2 at half confluence on daily basis.The procedure lasted for 4 consecutive days.And then the treated cells were cultured for another 7 days,called premature senescent cells.The mRNA level of P16 was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The methylation level in the promoter region -846~-639 bp was observed by methylation-specific PCR(MSP).The histone modifications was detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation-QPCR assay,including acetylation for H3,H4 and methylation for H3(Lys4)and H4(Lys20).Results In the process of cellular senescence,the mRNA level of P16 decreased in mid-aged cells,but increased significantly in both replicative and premature senescent cells compared with that of young cells(P

Objective To investigate the factors in association with colorectal disorders in adult recipients of liver allograft. Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out with clinical, microbiological and management data regarding diarrhea in 218 adult recipients of liver allograft from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2006. Results Of the 218 patients, 68(31.2%) of them, who did not history of ulcerative colitis, were found to have diarrhea after orthotopic liver transplantation. Among these 68 patients, diarrhea was probably caused by administration of immunosuppressive agents in 35 cases (51.4%), in 12 cases (17.6%) diarrhea was antibiotics associated, and in 5 cases (7.4%) it was due to intraperitoneal infection. The other pathogenic factors included fungal infection in 3 cases (4.4%), cytomegalovirus infection in 3 cases (4.4%), Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy in 8 cases (11.8%) and some other unknown problem related in 2 cases (2.9%). Diarrhea occurred soon after transplantation in most cases. Of the 68 patients, the symptom of diarrhea occurred in the first 2 months in 45 cases (66.2%), and in the next 4 months in 23 cases (33.8%), i.e. the symptoms occurred 5-180 days after transplantation. Conclusion Immunosuppressive agents, antibiotics, fungal infection and cytomegalovirus infection are the top four common causes of diarrhea after orthotopic liver transplantation. The outcome is good with appropriate conservative management.

Objective: To observe the changes of blood T-cell subpopulations, ASO,IL-6 and IL-8 in children with Tic disorder and explore the pathogenesis. Methods: T-cell subpopulations and concentration of IL-6, IL-8, ASO were measured in 52 children with tic disorder and 30 normal children using SAP and ELISA.Results:The numbers of CD3+、CD4+ and CD8+ cells had no significant difference between 32 children with tic disorder and 30 normal children, and the concentration of ASO in serum of children with tic disorder was markedly higher than those in normal children. The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in serum had no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion: There may be dysfunction in humoral immunity in tic disorder.

In this paper,the effects of SFPS on red blood cell immune function of P388mice is presented. The results suggest that SFPS' enhancing the immune function of red blood cells of P388 mice may be related to decreasing the content of LPO of red blood cell membranes inhibiting the formation of HMP by protein of red blood cell membranes and systolic protein,increasing the sealing degree of red bold cell menbranes and the content of sialic acid and enhancing the activities of SOD, CAT, and Na+, K+-ATPase of red blood cell membranes.

Objective To evaluate argon-helium cryoablation combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The clinical data of 66 patients with pathologically-proved HCC were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the therapeutic scheme the patients were divided into TACE group (n=31) and combination group (TACE+argon-helium cryoablation, n=35). All the patients were followed up for 5-35 months. The complete remission rate, total effective rate and survival time were evaluated. The short-term and the long-term effectiveness were compared between the two groups. Results Both the complete remission rate and total effective rate of the combination group were significantly higher than those of TACE group (P<0.05). The median survival time of the combination group was significantly longer than that of TACE group (P=0.038). The half-year, one-year and 2-year overall survival rates of the combination group were higher than those of TACE group, although the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, argon-helium cryoablation combined with TACE can improve the short-term effect and prolong the progression-free survival time, although its exact effectiveness still needs to be confirmed by large sample, multi-central and randomized controlled studies.
