Objective To assess the effectiveness of free distributing antipsychotics to the poverty schizophrenics.Methods 116 non-acute poverty schizophrenics were given free antipsychotics and their status were evaluated by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) before and after administration of antipsychotics.Results The BPRS scores of schizophrenics decreased linearly with time ( P<0.05) during 4 months follow-up study.Conclusion Poverty schizophrenics acquire good therapeutic efficacy after accepting free antipsychotics, and the government should provide the poverty mental disorder patients with related policy and fund support.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of naringin at different doses on the neuropathie pain produced by lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligafion (L5 SNL). [Methods] Using the method of behavioral test, we tested the 50% paw withdrawal threshold before and after intragastrieal application of naringin in the rats with L5 SNL. [Results] Naringin at 30, 90, 100 mg/kg but not at 10 mg/kg increased the 50% paw withdrawal threshold of 1.5 SNL rats significantly. Single application of Naringin (at 30 or 90 mg/kg) inhibited mechanical allodynia for around 6 hours, and the inhibitory effect persisted for 4 days after the cessation of the drug when naringin (30 mg/kg, daily) was consecutively applied for 7 days. [Conclusion] Intragastrical of naringin could relieve the neuropathic pain produced by peripheral nerve injury.

This study examined the adipocytokine-vascular interactions and link between epicardial adipose tissue and coronary artery atherosclerosis. Thirty-four patients undergoing open heart surgery were chosen randomly, and divided into group I (non-coronary artery disease group) and group II (coronary artery disease group). Blood samples were taken through peripheral vein prior to surgery. Plasma levels of a panel of proteins (adiponectin, IL-10, TNF-α) were detected by using ELISA. Epicardial adipose tissue was taken near the proximal tract of the right coronary artery and subcutaneous adipose was taken from the leg before cardiopulmonary bypassing, adiponectin and CD68 + were detected by using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Our results showed that plasma adiponectin level was significantly lower in the group II as compared with group I (P<0.05). There were no differences in plasma concentration (IL-10, TNF-α, tatal-chol, HDL-chol, LDL-chol) between group I and group II. The number of CD68+ cells in epicardial adipose tissue of group II was significantly higher than that in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Adiponectin mRNA expression was 6 fold higher in subcutaneous adipose tissue than in epicardial adipose tissue of group II (P<0.01). Furthermore, the level of adiponectin mRNA in the epicardial adipose tissue in group II was also significantly lower than in group I (P<0.05). We are led to conclude that inflammation that occurs locally in epicardial adipose tissue of CAD contributes to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.

Objective To explore the potential key risk factors of schistosomiasis transmission in potential endemic areas so as to provide the evidence for setting up the prediction and surveillance systems of schistosomiasis outbreak epidemic. Methods From 2008 to 2012,fixed and mobile surveillance sites in potential endemic areas of 2 counties in Hubei Province were selected. The immunological assays and stool examinations were carried out to investigate the schistosome infection situation of local people, mobile population and livestock. The distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails was investigated in risk areas and suspicious ar-eas,and spreading patterns of snails were observed in the rivers that directly connected with the Yangtze River. Results A total of 6 052 local people aged 6-65 years were screened by IHA immunological tests,and the positive rate of antibody was 1.19%(72/6 052). Totally 72 antibody positives were examined by Kato-Katz technique and there were no positives. A total of 5 004 mo-bile persons were tested by IHA immunological tests and the positive rate was 1.36%(68/5 004). Totally 68 antibody positives were examined by Kato-Katz technique and there were no positives. Totally 287.07 hm2 potential endemic areas were investigated for Oncomelania snail detection,and no snails were found. The investigation on snail spreading patterns and the surveillance on suspicious circumstances were carried out,with no snails found. Conclusions In the schistosomiasis potential endemic areas, some positives of IHA immunological tests are found. Therefore,monitoring is still needed to be strengthened.

In October 2016, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the outline of Healthy China 2030 Plan and put forward two main principles, namely integrating health into all policies (HiAP), and adhering to co-construction and co-sharing and mobilizing the whole society to participate.Based on this view, after analyzing the main contradictions in the social governance of China's health field, this paper points out that the synergistic design of social governance and the common governance by the whole society are the key issues to the implementation of China's health policy.This paper attempts to build a health-centered social governance mechanism that puts forward the focus on opening up the channels for citizens to participate in health policy, the formation of a unified health common value, the in-depth exploration of establishing community health services model that integrates medical resources with pension resources together to participate in the building of healthy China.

Objective To discuss the semilateral supine position for retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy. Methods From Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2008, 36 patients (20 males and 16 females with mean age of 43 years) underwent retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy in 60° -70° semilateral supine position. There were adrenal cortex adenomas in 18 cases, pheochromocytoma in 6 cases, adrenal cysts in 3 cases, myelolipoma in 2 cases, gangliocytoma in 1 case, lymphangioma in 1 case, metastatic tumor in 1 case and corticohyporplasia in 4 cases. The mean diameter of the tumors was 2.6 cm( 0.5 - 7.7 cm ). The tumors were superior to the renal pole in 5 cases, anteromedial in 10 cases and superomedial in 17 cases. The three ports that were usually used in lateral position and were placed anteriorly to create retroperitoneal place: the first port was placed 2 -4 cm superior to the iliac crest along the anterior axillary line, the other two were placed just below the costal margin along the midaxillary line and at the same level along the midclavicular line, and dissected along the anterior surface of kidney to its superomedial aspect, so as to avoid the hampering of the kidney in the exposing of the diseased adrenal gland. Results The procedure was completed successfully in all of the cases with the operating time of 37 - 145 min ( mean 69 min) and intraoperative blood loss of 30 - 100 ml (mean 48 ml). Six cases had rupture of peritoneum, which were sutured and the procedure was continued to completion. The postoperative hospital stay was 3 -8 d (mean 5 d ). Thirty-five patients were available for follow-up of 3 - 28 months ( mean 14 months). The case of metastatic tumor died of the primary diseases in the 12th month postoperatively. No other complication was found. Conclusion With this alternative position and ports' location, the procedure of retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy could be easier and safer than the conventional position.

To investigate the effect of TGF-β1 on the expressions of IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-4 and IL-10 in heart transplantation rejection in rats, a model of rat cervical heterotopic heart transplanta-tion was set up and the model rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, transplant group and TGF-β1 group. The mRNA expression levels of IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-4 and IL-10 were determined by RT-PCR at the 5th day after the transplantation. The mRNA expression levels of IL-12,IL-15, IL-18 were increased obviously and those of IL-4, IL-10 were significantly decreased in the transplant group as compared with the control group (P<0.01). In the TGF-β1 group, the mRNA ex-pression levels of IL-12, IL-15, IL-18 were significantly decreased and those of IL-4, IL-10 were sig-nificantly increased as compared with the transplant group (P<0.01). The immunosuppressive effect of TGF-β1 on heart transplantation rejection was related to its inhibition of the expressions of Th1-type cytokines (IL-12, IL-15, IL-18 etc) and its promotion of the expressions of Th2-tpye cyto-kines (IL-4, IL-10).
