Objective To investigate the changes in concentrations of the homocysteine (Hey) and other aminothiols (ESRD) in plasma of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients before and after hemodialysis (HD). Methods 26 chronic renal failure patients treated with hemodialysis plus 54 healthy controls were randomly chosen. The concentrations of plasma total homocysteine (they), total cysteine ( tCys), total cysteinylg]ycine (tCysGly), total glutathione (tGSH) were determined by HPLC-fluorescence detection (FD). The concentrations of serum lipids were detected and several renal function tests were conducted. Results The concentrations of they ( 16. 70 ± 3.51 μmol/L vs 10. 95±3.07 μmol/L, t =3. 625,P <0. 01),tCys(341.87±70.65 μmoL/L vs 249.76 ± 13.18 μ mol/L,t =6.219,P <0.01), tCysGly(41.33 ± 32. 95 μmol/L vs 31.3 ± 11.78 μmol/L, t = 3. 530, P <0.01 ) in pre-hemodialysis plasma were significantly elevated , and tGSH ( 5.91 ± 0. 08 μmol/L vs 9. 33 ± 2. 62 μ mol/L, t =-5.404, P < 0. 01 ) was significantly decreased compared with the control group. The concentrations of tHey and tCys (11.74 ± 3.42 μmol/L and 272. 67 ± 64. 18 μmol/L) in post-hemodialyais plasma were significantly decreased compared with in pre-hemodiaIysis plasma, but they could not be restored to normal levels. However, the concentrations of tCysGly(41.33 ± 32. 95 μmol/L vs 44. 93 ± 13.88 μmol/L,t =-0.758, P>0.05) and tGSH (5.91±0.08 μmol/L vs 5.93±0.38 μmol/L,t = -0.068,P >0.05) in pre-hemodialysis plasma and post-hemodialysis plasma didn't change significantly. There were significant positive correlations between plasma levels of they and tCys(r =0. 458 2 ,P <0. 01 ). There was significant negative correlations between plasma levels of tHcy and tGSH ( r =-0.609 9, P=0.000 9). Nevertheless, tHcy levels were was not correlated with tCysGly levels and other serum lipid parameters. Conclusion There is a high prevalence of metabolic disturbance in Hcy and other related aminothiols in ESRD patients.

Objective To investigate the hyper-variable region-polymerase chain reaction(HVRPCR) genotype of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in local hospitals in Hunan province, and to compare it with the antibiograms, and to preliminarily discuss its role in molecular epidemiology of MRSA. Methods A total of 80 MRSA clinical isolates were collected from three affiliated hospitals of Central South University. Their DNA were extracted and amplified by PCR. The genotype was classified by the fragments of amplified products based on the size of HVR. The drug sensitivity test of MRSA was performed, and the correlation of genotypes and antibacterial resistance was analyzed. Results Eighty strains of MRSA were divided into 5 HVR genotypes which were named as A, B, C, D and E respectively according to the size of the PCR products. The most common types were D (61.25%) and E (21.25%), followed by A (3.75%), B (5.00%) and C (8.75%). Most strains of genotypes were multi-drug resistant but all strains were sensitive to vancomycin. Conclusion These results suggest that HVR-PCR genotype method is a rapid, convenient and effective method for epidemiological investigation of infections caused by MRSA, and it is also helpful for clinical selection of antibacterial agents in effective treatment of MRSA infection.

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of modern society, psychological problems in college students have been paid high attention by educatienal organizations of psychological health in China. OBJECTIVE: To probe into the influencing factors of psychological problems in college students. DESIGH: Cluster sampling 1∶2 paired observation, case-control study. SETTING: Medical College of Wuhan Polytechnic University. PARTICTPANTS: 1 200 sophomores with the age ranged 19-20 years were selected from Wuhan Polytecnic University by cluster sampling at June 2001, and 145 students with the scores of more than 3 factors greater than 3 points were screened by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) (including 9 factors of somatization, compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoid and schizophrenia. The higher the grade was, the severer the symptom was) to be the psychological problem group. Subjects were selected to be the normal controls at the ratio of 1∶2 with those in the psychological problem group, whose classes, specialties and ages (the difference was less than 2 years) were similar to those of the enrolled patients. 290 students normal in the indexes of SCL-90 were taken as the matched group. Of all subjects in both experiment groups, there were 173 males and 262 females with an average age of 19.2 years. METHODS: ① The subjects in the two experiment groups were investigated of the psychological health by SCL-90 as well as the personality characteristics and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) (For Adult). The EPQ statistic software designed by the Institute for Juvenile and Children, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was adopted to acquire the E score (introversion, extroversion), N score (nervousness), P score (psychoticism), L score (conceal) and quantity form quadrant of E-N coordinate picture, so as to define the tendencies of characters. ② The psychological problem was considered to be the dependent variable, while all relevant factors (The influencing factors of psychological problem included the understanding from parents, relationship with family members, desire for learning, personality characteristics, over-high P score, over-high/low E score, over-high/low N score) were taken as the independent variable. Single-factor Logistic regression analysis was conducted at 1:2. ③ Based on 1:2 single-factor Logistic regression analysis, the variances were selected from factors of P < 0.01 together with the Logistic regression models of multifactor at 1:2 by stepwise regression method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison in the SCL-90 score between the psychological problem group and the normai control group. ② Single-factor and multivariate analysis of the relevant factors of psychological problems. RESULTS: A total of 435 enrolled students were involved in the analysis of results. ① The average score of somatization, compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoid and schizophrenia in students of the psychological problem group was higher than that in the normal control group (t=-13.39, 29.64, 27.09, 26.04, 19.52, 18.13, 14.15, 18.61, 22.41, P< 0.01). ② Nine factors were selected in the single factor analysis after the Logistic regression analysis, including 6 protective factors of understanding from parents, relationship with family members, desire for learning, personality characteristics, E > 61.5, N < 38.5, while he other 3 factors (P > 61.5, E < 38.5, N > 61.5) were risk factors. The multivariate analysis showed that factors of relationship with family members, desire for learning as well as personality characteristics were protective factors, while it was a risk factor when N > 61.5.CONCLUSION: The psychological problems in college students relate to the relationship with family members,understanding from the parents, desire for learning as well as the character trait and personality characteristics.
