Objective To describe symptom experiences and quality of life (QOL) in liver transplant recipients and explore the relationship between them,in order to provide a scientific basis and new directions for clinical assessment and intervention to improve QOL of them. Methods One hundred and thirty-seven liver transplant recipients who received liver transplantation from 1999 to 2008 were recruited in this study. They were investigated with The SF-36 Health Survey Questionnaire and Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale (MTSOSD). Results Liver transplant recipients experienced many symptoms (median 17,range 2-30). The most commen symptoms were:fatigue and drowsy,sleeplessness,mood swings,dizzy and headache,abdominal distension,and diarrhea,which distressed more than half of the recipients. Compared with a reference general population,the liver transplant recipients showed a significantly worse QOL score (P<0.01). The result of stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the total score of symptom experiences,surviving time after transplantation operation,family income and social support score were significant predictors of QOL. Conclusion Liver transplant recipients suffer from complex symptom experiences after transplantation operation. Symptom management is imperative to be embraced in long-term care planning for liver transplant recipients and effective symptom intervention will result in improved QOL.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on spinal p38 mitogen?activated protein kinase ( p38MAPK) expression during remifentanil?induced hyperalgesia in rats with incisional pain. Methods Forty?eight healthy male Sprague?Dawley rats, aged 6 weeks, weighing 220-250 g, were ran?domly divided into 4 groups ( n= 12 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , inci?sion pain group ( group IP ) , incision pain + remifentanil group ( group IP+R ) , and incision pain +remifentanil + dexmedetomidine group ( group IP+R+D) . After successful establishment of the model of in?cisionsal pian, remifentanil 1?0μg∕kg was infused for 4 h via the tail vein in group IP+R; remifentanil 1?0μg∕kg was infused for 4 h via the tail vein, and dexmedetomidine 10μg∕kg was simultaneously infused for 4 h via the jugular vein in group IP+R+D; the equal volume of normal saline was infused for 4 h via the tail and jugular veins in C and IP groups. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) was measured at 24 h before operation ( T0 ) , and at 4, 6, 24 and 48 h after the end of drug infusion ( T1?4 ) . After meas?urement of MWT at T4 , the expression of p38MAPK was determined using immuno?histochemistry. Results was up?regulated at T4 in IP and IP+R groups ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the MWT and expression of p38MAPK in group IP+R+D (P>0?05). Compared with group IP, the MWT was signifi?cantly decreased at T1?4, and the expression of p38MAPK was up?regulated at T4 in group P+R, and the MWT was significantly increased at T1?4, and the expression of p38MAPK was down?regulated at T4 in group IP+R+D (P<0?05). Compared with group IP+R, the MWT was significantly increased at T1?4, and the expression of p38MAPK was down?regulated at T4 in group IP+R+D ( P<0?05) . Conclusion The mecha?nism by which dexmedetomidine reduces hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil is related to down?regulation of spinal p38MAPK expression in the rats with incisional pain.

Fifty five patients with alcohol induced-mental disorder (study group) and 43 local inhabitants without history of alcohol abuse (control group) were surveyed with family environment scale (FES-CV) and generic quality of life inventory-74 (GQOLI-74). The total score and the scores of all dimensions except material life in GQOLI-74 of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P <0. 05). Compared with control group, the scores in FES of study group were lower for factors of cohesion, expressiveness, active-recreational orientation, moral-religious emphasis and organization in the patient's family, while the scores for conflict and control were higher( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 ). The results indicate that family environment is closely correlated with quality of life in patients with alcohol-induced mental disorder, and family therapy would improve their quality of life.
