Objective To discuss the changes of quality of life and influence factors in patients with multidrugresistant pulmonary tuber-culosis. Methods Using the SF-36 scale of 80 normal subjects and 80 cases of MDRTB patients before and after treatment and quality of life score total score evaluated dimensions. Results Between the patients with MDR-TB and the control in the total Qol scores and eight dimensionality, there were significant differences(P＜0.01), total Qol scores and eight dimensionality in 3 months or 1 year after treatment were higher than before therapy,there were significant differences(P＜0.01 ). Between 1 year after therapy in the total Qol scores and PF, PR, GH, VT, SF, ER, MH, dimensionality were lower than control groups, there were significant differences(P＜0.05 ). The main factors affecting the Qol of patients with MDR-TB were cultural level, kinds of drug resistant and reduction of counts of white blood cell. Conclusion The correlation between quality of life and education, the number of drug resistance, reduction of white blood cell in patients with multi-drugresistant pulmonary tuberculosis.

To investigate feasibility and effect of schizophrenia treatment by stereotactic lesioning, CRW stereotactic apparatus and PICKER spiral CT were used to define nucleus location and RADONICS radiofrequency instruments were used to lesion different subnucleuses of amygdala and the front part of callosal gyrus. All schizophrenic patients were diagnosed by ICD Ⅲ standards, In cases with one year followup ,the effect were analysed with Global Improvement (GI) scoring. In this group , 21 cases were significantly improved , 8 cases improved, 3 cases slightly improved, 1 case unchanged, and 0 case deteriorated. These results suggest selective lesioning subnucleus of amygdala according to different symptoms of schizophrenia could improve the curative effect of surgical treatment for schizophrenia.

Background The pathogenesis of allergic conjunctivitis has not been clearly established.Current researchers indicate that interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5 and IL-13 may play an important role in allergic conjunctivitis.But whether the roles of these inflammatory factors are same in different types of allergic conjunctivitis remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the expressions of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 in ocular surface with different types of allergic conjunctivitis.Methods A prospective cohort study was designed.Eighty individuals were recruited in Shanxi Eye Hospital from April 2013 to September 2014, including 20 patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), 20 patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), 20 patients with perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC) and 20 normal healthy subjects.Surficial tissues were binocularly scraped using disinfected scraper from upper eyelid conjunctiva, and 4 μl of tear fluid was obtained with capillary tube.The expressions of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 protein and mRNA in the conjunctival epithelial cells were detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 concentrations in tear fluid were assayed by Luminex method.This study complied with Declaration of Helsinki and the research protocol was approved by the Shanxi Eye Hospital Ethics Committee.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the cohort.Results IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 were positively expressed in cytoplasm of conjunctival epithelial cells in the VKC group,SAC group and PAC group,but the expressions of IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 were absent in the normal control group.The relative expression levels of IL-4 mRNA were 4.11±1.24,2.71±0.71 and 2.00±0.80;the relative expression levels of IL-5 mRNA were 4.02±0.43,2.07±0.45 and 1.47±0.50;and the relative expression levels of IL-13 mRNA expression levels were 6.44±0.66,4.35±1.26 and 2.39±0.86 in the VKC group,SAC group and PAC group, showing significant differences among the 4 groups (F =51.32,220.18,162.49, all at P＜0.01).The relative expression levels of IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 mRNA were significantly higher in the VKC group than those in the SAC group and PAC group;and those in the SAC group were significantly elevated in comparison with the PAC group (all at P＜0.05).No IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 were detected in the tear fluid in the normal control group;while the concentrations of IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 in the tear fluid were (14.06±3.50), (10.88±1.82) and (34.28±8.42) pg/ml in the VKC group,and (7.71 ±0.65), (5.10± 1.33), (23.77±6.29) pg/ml in the SAC group as well as (3.30± 1.50) pg/ml, (2.43± 1.28) pg/ml and (17.67 ± 4.28) pg/ml in the PAC group, showing significant differences among the 3 groups (F =200.29,260.49,128.23, all at P＜0.01).IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 concentrations in the tear fluid were significantly higher in the VKC group than those in the SAC group and PAC group,and those in the SAC group were significantly raised in comparison with the PAC group (all at P＜0.01).Conclusions IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 participate in the pathogenesis of multiple allergic conjunctivitis,but their expressions in the ocular surficial tissue are discriminatory in different types of allergic conjunctivitis.

Background Researches showed that thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an interleukin-17-like inflammatory factor and plays important roles in the pathogenesis and development of allergic diseases.However,the study whether TSLP plays roles in allergic conjunctivitis is rare.Objective This study was to investigate the expression change of TSLP and IL-4 in ocular surface tissue and cervical lymph node in the mice with allergic conjunctivitis induced by artemisia annua,a common plant in China,and to explore the role of TSLP and IL-4 in the pathogenesis and development of allergic conjunctivitis.Methods Twenty female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomized into normal control group and model group.Antigen solution was prepared using 400 μl extracting solution of artemisia annua pollen with 400 μl antigen solvent.The mouse models of allergic conjunctivitis were established by injection of 50 μl antigen solution in footpad followed by ocular topical administration of extracting solution once a day from day 10 to 12 after injection,and no any intervention was given in the normal control group.The mice were sacrificed and eyeballs were obtained 13 days after modeling,and corneal epithelium,conjunctiva and cervical lymph nodes were harvested for the detection of TSLP mRNA and IL-4 mRNA by real-time PCR.Immunochemistry was employed to assay the expression of TSLP and IL-4 proteins in corneal,conjunctival and subconjunctival tissues.Results Ocular inflammatory signs appeared 0.5 hours after ocular topical administration of extracting solution,including eyelid edema,conjunctival congestion,tears,scratching eyelids,etc.The symptoms lasted for 6-24 hours,with the model successful rate 80％.Real-time PCR indicated that the expression of IL-4 was absent in corneal epithelium in both model group and normal control group.The relative expression levels of TSLP mRNA in the corneal epithelium,conjunctiva and cervical lymph nodes in the model group were more (1.63±0.20)times,(2.71±0.48) times and (1.48 ±0.05) times than the normal control group,showing significant differences between the two groups (t =4.44,14.16,5.01,all at P＜0.05).Compared with the normal control group,the relative expression levels of IL-4 mRNA in the model group increased (2.94±0.39) times and (1.74±0.09) times,with significant differences between the two groups (t =9.92,14.54,both at P＜0.05).Immunochemistry assay showed that the expression of TSLP protein in the corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells were enhanced in the model group compared with the normal control group.In addition,an intensive expression of IL-4 protein was seen in subconjunctival tissue in the model group,while the expression of IL-4 was absent in the normal control group.Conclusions TSLP is mainly expressed in the cornea,conjunctiva and cervical lymph nodes of the mice with allergic conjunctivitis,suggesting that TSLP promotes the inflammatory process of cornea and conjunctiva;IL-4 is mainly expressed in conjunctiva,showing IL-4 participates in conjunctival inflammatory process.TSLP and IL-4 play synergistic roles in promoting the inflammatory process of ocular surface in the mice with allergic conjunctivitis,which may be new therapeutic targets.

Objective To explore the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation under health guidance from clinic nurses on endurance capacity,quality of life, and lung function of the old patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods 54 old patients with stableCOPD were provided with health advice and rehabilitation training for 3 months. Their dyspnea and fatigue were evaluated with Borgrating scales, lung function were tested, 6-minute walking performance and quality of life were rated before and after the rehabilitation. ResultsThe dyspnea and fatigue decreased, 6-minute walking distance increased, and scores of quality of life improved (P<0.01) after rehabilitation,but lung function was not improved significantly (p0.05). Conclusion Health guidance from clinic nurses is able to improve the endurancecapacity and quality of life in old patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the social support and its related factors of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods60 outpatients with COPD over the age of 60 years were recruited in the study. Social support rating scale (SSRS) and demographic information were applied for investigation.ResultsScores of objective, subjective support, and availability of support were lower than the norm (P<0.05). Social support was significantly different among elderly patients with age, education levels and matital status (P<0.05). Patients aged over 70 years, low education level, divorced or widowed were vulnerable groups with low social support.ConclusionEfforts should be made to strengthen the social support system for elderly patients with COPD, especially for those aged over 70 years, low education, divorced or widowed.

Objective To investigate the effects of phosphocreatine postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(IR)injury in rats.Methods Thirty-six SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:groups Sham,IR (treated with normal saline)and PCr.IR was induced by intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).All treatments were given intravenously at the begining of reperfusion.Twenty-four hours after the reperfusion, neurological deficit score and magnetic resonance scan were performed.serum concentrations of malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal,cere-bral infarct volume and destruction of cerebral cortex were estimated.Neuronal apoptosis was further assessed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescent staining of caspase-3 and NeuN. Results Compared with group IR,phosphocreatine significantly decreased neurological deficit score, infarct volume,malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal levels(P < 0.05 ).Cortex structure was more complete,as well as neuronal apoptotic index was smaller in group PCr (P <0.05).Conclusion PCr can reduce cerebral infarct volume,thereby promote neurofunctional recovery.The mechanism of Pcr is related to reduced oxidative stress and inhibitted apopotosis during IR.

Lynch syndrome is the most common type of genetically determined colon-cancer predisposition syndrome, accounting for 5%of all colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. This hereditary syndrome is characterized by the germline mutation of human mismatch repair genes and microsatellite instability. Recent studies have shown that Lynch syndrome and sporadic CRC differ in diagnosis and treat-ment;these results are especially relevant for the clinical management of Lynch syndrome. In this review, we reverted to the original characterization of Lynch syndrome, and the developments in its screening and diagnosis were summarized. Furthermore, the manage-ment of families with this disorder was discussed.
