Objective To investigate the effect of mindfulness on anxiety and depression of gynecological oncology patients.Methods Using objective methods,80 patients with gynecological oncology were divided to the usual care group and mindfulness training group according to random number table,40 cases in each group.The self -rated anxiety scale and self -rated depression scale were used to compare the effects at three times.Results There were 3 patients lost and 77 patients were analyzed finally.The ANOVA showed that there were significant differences on anxiety and depression scores of SAS (F =4.614,P =0.035) and SDS (F =4.070,P =0.044) between the two groups,and the scores of SAS (F =15.115,P <0.001) and SDS (F =7.034,P =0.002) had interaction effects. Conclusion Mindfulness can adjust the psychology state of gynecological oncology patients and decreased the level of anxiety and depression.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Yizhi Mixture and establish a method for its quality control. METHODS: The mixture was prepared by water decoction method,Radix Polygalae,Cortex Phellodendri,and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae uralensis Fisch.in the mixture were identified qualitatively by TLC. The contents of trace amount of paeoniflorin in Yizhi mixture was determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The studies on the quality control showed that the characteristics for identification by TLC were distinct. The linear range of peoniflorin was 0.25~10 mg?L-1.The average recovery was 99.06% and its RSD was 4.91%(n=5).CONCLUSION: The mixture is reasonable in formula and simple in preparation technology. A quality standard has been established for the mixture. The methods for identification and quantification were simple, reliable and practical.

To investigate the value of echocardiography in the diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), 16 patients in our hospital were diagnosed to have TAPVC by echocardiography from year 1994 to 2001. In 11 cases the results of echocardiography were compared to those of surgery. Each patient was examined by using a combination of precordial, suprasternal and subcostal windows to visualize all the pulmonary veins and their drainage sites, common pulmonary venous trunk, and other associated abnormalities. Of the 16 cases, the drainage sites were as follow: supracardiac in 10, via vertical vein in 9, directly to superior vena cava in 1; cardiac in 5, via coronary sinus in 2, directly to right atrium in 3. Diagnoses were correctly made in all the 11 cases as confirmed by surgery. Echocardiography can also assess pulmonary arterial pressure and detect other associated abnormalities. It is concluded that echocardiography is the preferred examination method in the diagnosis of TAPVC before surgery. With careful examination using multiple windows and sections, TAPVC can be accurately diagnosed by echocardiography.

ObjectiveTo study the dose and time effects of X-ray radiation on the expression of Pokemon gene and protein in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.MethodsA549 cells was exposed to different doses of X-ray (2,4,6 and 8 Gy),and the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein of the cells was detected by using Quantitative real-time PCR and western-blotting at 2,4,8,12,24,and 48 h after irradiation. 3-( 4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl )-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromidewasused to detectthe proliferation of A549 cells at 1,2,3,4,and 5 d after 2 Gy X-ray irradiation.The mock treated A549 cells were used as the control.ResultsThe expression of Pokemon mRNA trended to decrease after irradiated with 4,6 and 8 Gy in the earlier period and increased in the later period with statistical difference at the most time points (t =3.40 -154.76,P =0.000 -0.041 ).The expression of Pokemon protein trended to increase and reached the peak at 8 h after irradiated of 2,4,6 and 8 Gy with statistical difference at the most time points ( t =4.18 - 89.64,P =0.000 - 0.039).Compared with the control,the proliferation of A549 cells was significantly inhibited during 3 to 5 d after irradiation of 2 Gy ( t =2.34 - 18.19,P =0.000 -0.040).ConclusionsX-ray irradiation may increase the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein in A549 cells,which might be correlated with radiation-resistance of A549 cells.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the gram positive bacteria isolates from hospital in Chongqing during 2006-2011 .Methods Non-repetitive gram positive bacterias were collected retrospectively from ten hospitals in Chongqing .Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all clinical isolates were carried out using Kirby-Bauer(KB) .Results 14 473 strains were isolated .There were 4 840 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (33 .4% ) ,2 566 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis (17 .7% ) ,1 822 strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus (12 .6% ) ,1 325 strains of Enterococcus (E .faecalis/E .faecium )(9 .2% ) . Staphylococcus was highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin ,rifampicin ,piperacillin/tazobactam ,linezolid ,teicoplanin and vancomycin ,but their resistance rate to ampicillin/sulbactam ,oxacillin ,penicillin and clarithromycin was high .The resistance rate of E .faecium to the majority of antimicrobial agents was obviously higher than that of E .faecalis ,excluding imipenem ,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline .Vancomycin and linezolid still remain the strongest antibacterial activity to Enterococcus .Conclusion The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in Chongqing present regional particularity ,and antibiotic resistance is severe .It is significant to strengthen the epidemiology study of pathogenic bacteria and to develop policies to intervene in the use of antimicrobial agents .

Objective To study the early and mid-term outcome in terms of left ventricular(LV)geometry and function in patients with transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA/IVS) undergoing arterial switch operation.Methods Twenty patients were followed up and divided into 2 groups according to age:the earlier group and the later group.Age and sexual matched controls were also designed as control group 1 and control group 2.LV posterior wall thickness(PWTd),dimension(LVIDd)and length(L) at end diastolic phase,LV end-diastolic volume (EDV),end-systolic volume (ESV),ejection fraction (EF),mitral valve early (E) and late (A) inflow velocities and E/A,isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) were obtained by two-dimensional echocardiography,normalized isovolumic relaxation time (IVRTn),wall thickness index (PWTd/LVIDd) and LV geometry index(LVIDd/L) were calculated,and these indexes between groups were compared.Results ①Compared with control group 1,PWTd in earlier group was higher [(0.41 + 0.06)cm vs (0.36 + 0.05)cm,P =0.022],but LVIDd had no significant statistical difference [(2.08 + 0.21)cm vs (2.21 + 0.23)cm,P =0.117],indicating PWTd/ LVIDd differed between groups(0.20 + 0.04 vs 0.16 + 0.01 P =0.001).②No abnormalities were observed in later group.③Compared with different age groups in TGA,EDV,ESV,L,LVIDd,PWTd were significantly higher in later group(P =0.000).There were obvious correlations between EDV,ESV,L,LVIDd and examined age (r =0.90,0.83,0.73,0.90,P =0.000,R2 =0.809,0.694,0.528,0.808) while there were no significant correlation between PWTd and examined age(r =0.56,P =0.000,R2 =0.309).Conclusions Early after operation,LV is undergoing hypertrophy or hyperplasia in TGA/IVS,but will recover in the mid-term period,and the function is normal all the time indicating that the LV myocardium may avoided irreversible pathological changes if operated in time.All in all,LV develops well in mid-term period.
