Conclusion The method was accurate, reliable and specific. It can be used for the quality control and evaluation of Zengye Chengqi Syrupus.

Objective To survey the epidemiological characteristics of adverse life events among secondary vocational nursing students and to investigate the relationship between adverse life events and post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) so as to provide the basis for their psychological health intervention.Methods The cross-sectional survey method was adopted to conduct the questionnaire investigation among secondary vocational nursing students as the research subjects in Health School Attached to Shanghai Jiaotong University(SJTU) and Shanghai Municipal Nursing School.The EPIDATA3.1 software was used to input the data and conduct the logic error correction.The data were processed by the SAS 8.2 software.Results The average age of respondents was (17.00±0.88) years old,87 respondents(15.56%) were male and 472 respondents(84.44%) were female;in adverse life event,failure in the exam or unsatisfactory achievement had higher occurrence frequency(81.64%);the detection rate of PTSD was 5.53%,the difference in various factors of life events between positive PTSD and non-positive PTSD had statistical significance (P<0.01).The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of PTSD were interpersonal relation factor (OR=2.93,95%CI=1.43-6.00),punishment factor (OR=3.91,95%CI=1.41-10.87) and adaptation factor (OR=4.12,95%CI=1.70-9.99).Conclusion The incidence rate of adverse life events in the secondary vocational school students is relatively high,increasing the psychological health should start in the aspects of alleviating the study burden,changing the teaching mode,increasing the interpersonal communication ability and elevating the social adaptability of secondary vocational nursing students.

Objective To investigate the safe zone and the soft tissue damage of two-incision minimally in-vasive total hip replacement,and to retrospectively analyze the clinical result.Method 20 adult cadavers(40 hips) were used for anatomic research.The Course of the later femoral cutaneous nerve was recorded.The angle between the intermission of the piriformis muscle and gluteus medius muscle with horizontal plane was also recorded.Analogue operation was taken on 3 fresh cadavers to assess the injury extent of soft tissues around incisions.27 cases under-went two-incision minimally invasive total hip replacement.Results LFCN was found potentially at risk as far as 6～71 mm medial to anterior superior iliac spine(ASIS)along the inguinal ligament,as much as 21～112 mm distal on the lateral border sartorius muscle from the ASIS.With the operative leg fully adducted,flexed over the nonopera～tire leg and the patella placed horizontal,the angle between the intermission of the piriformis muscle and gluteus medius muscle with horizontal plane is(60±5)°(range 55°-68°).Imitating modified two-incision THA on 3 freshhips revealed muscle contused on gluteus medius-piriformis muscle and gluteus minimus muscle.The average length of the anterior incision was 5.0 cm(4.6～6.5 cm)and of the posterior incision 3.7 em(3.0～4.2 cm).All of the patients were ambulant the day after surgery.Blood transfusion was carried out in 4 cases including one case of femo-ral neck fracture.The patients were followed up for 18 months(13～25 months).No other complications occurred.The mean Harris score was 94.5(92～96).Conclusion Front incision from the point inferior ASIS 3 cm and 1cmlater from ASIS vertically 6 cm should be chosen and the real incision should be 60°with horizontal plane.GIuteus medius,piriformis muscle and ghteus minimus muscle will be contused in two-incision minimally invasive surgeryto-tal hip replacement.Two-incision total hip replacement has the advantage of being muscle sparing and minimally in-vasive with less blood loss and rapid recovery.However,this technique is time consuming,technically demanding,and requires fluoroscopy.

Background and purpose: The prognosis of completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a significant concern. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates range from 10% to 30%. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of first failure in completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC and to assess the actuarial risk of developing metastasis at different sites and to guild standard clinical practice. Methods: Patients withⅢA(N2) NSCLC who had undergone radical surgery in our hospital from Jan. 2005 to Jul. 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The progression-free survival (PFS), the OS, patterns of first failure, the actuarial risk were analyzed. The cumulative incidence of first failure was determined using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Among 357 patients who met the eligibility criteria with completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC, 5-year OS was 36.9%. There were 284 (77.6%) patients experiencing disease failure: 61 with local failure, 197 with local and distant failures, and 26 patients with local recurrence as the first failure. Brain, bone and lung were the main sites of distant failure as the first failure, while brain was the most common site. There were 67 patients developing brain metastases (BM) as the first site of failure. The median time of local failure as the first site of failure was 13.6 months, and the time to develop distant recurrence was 15.1 months. 92.5% BM developed in 3 years after the complete resection. Conclusion: As the first failure, the rate of distant failure was much higher than that of local failure in completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC. Brain was the most common site of distant failure as the first failure. These results can be helpful in guiding standard clinical practice and evaluating the outcome of comprehensive treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of recombinant Elafin on A549 apoptosis induced by paraquat and the underlying mechanism.Methods:pEGFP-C1-Elafin was transformed into A549 competent cells by electroporation.Transformed A549 was cultured for additional 24 h before Elafin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and cocultured with or without various concentration of paraquat( PQ ) for different duration.A549 apoptosis percentage and reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) content were tested by flow cytometry .Nuclear factor erythroid like-2(Nrf2) heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) were examed by Western blot .Results:Elafin expressed successfully in A549 after transformation.PQ caused A549 apoptosis in a concentration dependent manner and leaded to ROS content increasing and Nrf2 and HO-1 decreasing.However,elafin could inhibit ROS production and A549 apoptosis,upregulate Nrf2 and HO-1.Conclusion:Elafin could restrict A549 apoptosis to some extent and the possible mechanism lied in its ability to upregulate Nrf2 ex-pression.

Objective To observe the effect of Yiqi-huoxue and Huatan formula on inflammation reactivation in stable coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods 60 cases with stable CHD were randomly divided into the control group(30 cases,treated with routine therapy)and study group(30 cases,treated with routine therapy plus Yiqi-huoxue and Huatan formula).Duration was one month.Results There was no significant difference of concentration of CD40L before and after treatment in the control and study groups(P>0.05).There was a significant difference in concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)before and after treatment in the control and study groups(P<0.05).There were significant changes of CD40L and MMP-9 in the study group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Yiqi-huoxue and Huatan formula can decrease serum concentration of CD40L and MMP-9,and inhibit initiation and development of inflammation reactivation,furthermore stable atherosclerotic plaque and reduce coronary events.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis,preoperative examination and surgical treatment of carotid body tumor(CBT).Methods From December 2008 to December 2012 80 patients of carotid body tumor were treated in our center.The average age was(43:±:12)years,33 cases were male,47 cases were female.The lesions were unilateral in 68 cases and bilateral in 12.All tumors were surgically resected.In 26 of Shamblin Ⅰ,32 of Shamblin Ⅱ and 19 of Shamblin Ⅲ tumors were simply resected.One Shamblin Ⅱ and 2 Shamblin Ⅲ cases underwent tumor resection combined with external carotid embolization.3 Shamblin Ⅱ and 8 Shamblin Ⅲ cases were treated by tumor resection combined with internal carotid reconstruction,1 Shamblin Ⅲ was done with tumor resection combined internal carotid repair.Results All of 80 patients with 92 tumors were successfully resected.There was no death case during peroperative period,while one case developed hemiplegia and 14 cases suffered cranial nerve injuries.68 cases (85％) were followed-up from 1 year to 6 years.Thera were 14 patients with cranial nerve injuries,2 of them were lost to follow-up,11 with complete or partial recovery and 1 was still doing poorly.Conclusions Tumor size and its relation to the carotid artery form the basis upon which appropriate operation is adopted.

To investigate the effect of NVP-DPP728, a DPP-Ⅳ inhibitor on new-onset diabetes and the autoimmune response in non-obese diabetic ( NOD ) mice. Diabetes could be reversed in 75% of NVP-DPP728 treated 20 NOD mice. In these 15 mice with remission, insulitis scores were significantly lower than those of the control group. The percentage of Tregs was increased in the thymus and celiac lymph nodes, plasma TGF-β1 and GLP-1 were also significantly increased ( P＜0. 01 ). NVP-DPP728 treatment may reverse new-onset diabetes in NOD mice by reducing insulitis and increasing Tregs.
