Objective:To examine differences among recovered Bipolar Ⅰ, Bipolar Ⅱ patients and controls. Methods: Using NEO-PI-R, HAMD and BRMS, we investigated 59 recovered bipolar patients and 59 normal controls matched for age, gender and education. Results: Compared with controls, Bipolar Ⅱ patients showed significant differences in personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience. While Bipolar Ⅰ patients obtained higher scores on Gregariousness, Bipolar Ⅱ patients scored higher on traits of Depression, Impulsiveness and Aesthetics. Scores on Warmth were higher in Bipolar Ⅰ patients than in Bipolar Ⅱ patients. Conclusion: Personality traits of recovered bipolar patients were markedly different from matched controls, whereas the differences between Bipolar Ⅰ and Bipolar Ⅱ patients were small.

Objeetive:To investigate the effect of acupuncture on serum superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA)of rats in menopause.Methods:Female rats in menopause were randomly allocated into acupuncture,drugs and control groups,which were treated with acupuncture,Gengnian'an Tablet,and nothing,respectively.In addition,some young female rats were used as contr01.Atier 17-day treatments,serum SOD and MDA were measured with biochemical methods.Results:Compared with the young rats,rats in menopause had lower contents of serum SOD(P＜0.01),and higher contents of MDA(P＜0.01).After acupuncture treatment,the contents of serum SOD increased(P＜0.05),and MDA decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture could increase the serum SOD contents and decrease the serum MDA contents of rats in menopause.

OBJECTlVE To study the anti-HBV activity of prepared recombinant human serum aIbu-min-interferon α-2b fusion protein(HSA-IFNα-2b) in vitro. METHODS HepG2 ceIIs were infected with recombinant adenovirus with green fIuorescence protein and 1.6-foId HBV DNA(AdGFP-HBV). The ex-pression of HBV antigens,HBsAg and HBeAg in cuIture medium was detected by ELISA assay. The tox-icity of HSA-IFNα-2b on HepG2 ceIIs was evaIuated by mTT assay.The reIative expression of HBV RNA in ceIIs and the absoIute quantity of HBV DNA in cuIture supernatant were determined by quantitative PCR assay. The activity of HBV enhancer Ⅰ was detected by DuaI-Reporter gene assay. RESULTS HBV couId repIicate and express in HepG2 ceIIs after infection with AdGFP-HBV. The expression of HBsAg and HBeAg in cuIture serum of HepG2 ceIIs infected with AdGFP-HBV decreased by 51.32%(P﹤0.01)and 50.26%(P﹤0.01),respectiveIy,when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. The same concentration of HSA-IFNα-2b didn't inhibit the proIiferation of HepG2 ceIIs,but inhibited HBsAg in a concentration-dependent manner. The regression formuIa between HBsAg inhibitory rate(Y)and con-centration of HSA-IFNα-2b(X)was Y=21.11 IgX+11.91(r 2 = 0.954),IC50 = 63.76 kU·L-1 . HBV RNA in ceIIs and HBV DNA in the cuIture serum decreased by 52.83%(P﹤0.01)and 53.07%(P﹤0.01), respectiveIy,when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. The activity of enhancer Ⅰ decreased by 40.04%(P﹤0.01)when HSA-IFNα-2b 500 kU·L-1 was added. CONCLUSlON The ceII modeI of HBV repIication for evaIuating anti-HBV agents is successfuIIy estabIished. HSA-IFNα-2b exhibits noticeabIe anti-HBV effect invitro.

Objective To examine characteristics of patients with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels higher and lower than the normal limit.Methods During January 2012 to January 2015,116 patients with upper gastrointestinal diseases were selected to study,according to the patient's blood urea nitrogen level,all the patients were divided into high BUN group and low BUN group,and there were 76 patients in the high BUN group,and 40 patients in low BUN group,compared the biochemical indices,gastrointestinal bleeding forrest grading and disease severity of the two groups,and univariate logistic regression analysis.Results The serum white blood cell count,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine and glycated hemoglobin levels in patients of high BUN group [(9 593±5 012)× 102/μl,368.1±162.3 mg/L,11.2±3.7 mg/L and 6.38±1.08％] were significantly higher than that of low BUN patients [(6 804 ± 2 087) × 102/μl,121.0 ± 39.3 mg/L,8.1 ± 3.2 mg/L and 5.51 ± 0.42 ％] (t =3.645～12.659,all P＜0.05),and the hemoglobin levels (87.3±35.1 g/L) of the patients in high BUN group was significantly lower than that of the low BUN patients (108.0 ± 31.2 g/L) (t=3.252,P=0.032).Logistic regression analysis showed the presence of hemoglobin and glycosylated hemoglobin levelst of wo groups of patients was significantly different (P＜0.05),and showed that showed the highest correlation with BUN.Gastrointestinal bleeding forrest hierarchical data of the two groups of patients showed no significant difference (P＞0.05).The proportion of patients with gastric ulcers of high BUN patients was significantly higher than that of the low BUN patients (x2 =39.655,P=0.000).Conclusion Patients with high expression of serum urea nitrogen had more severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding,and it is worthy of attention in the process of clinical diagnostic.

Objective : The patients with inguinal hernia were treated with plug mesh hernia repair. Methods:The hernia sacs were isolated and dissected back to the internal ring. The unoperated sacs were allowed to drop back through the internal ring into the abdominal cavity. A cone-shaped mesh hernia plug is inserted tapered end through ring and placed into position just beneath the crura. All our repairs were reinforced a second piece of flat was placed from the pubic tubercle, overlying the direct space. Results : Com-paired with conventional suture surgical techniques, a plug repair uses less disscection and ensures tenssion free hernioplusty. Conclusion : We believe that the two factors are the most important reseasons for greater patients confort, rapit rehabilitation, decreased recurrence and lessened overall complication rates with the mesh hernia plug techniques.

Objectives To explore the expression, biological function, and mechanism of MKI67 in pancreatic cancer and its clinical significance. Methods The expression level, diagnosis, and prognostic value of MKI67 in pancreatic cancer were analyzed using public databases. We also investigated the association between the MKI67 with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint molecules. We analyzed the functional pathway enrichment to uncover the possible molecular mechanisms. qRT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to verify the expression of MKI67 mRNA and protein. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expression of MKI67 in tissue protein. Results The high expression of MKI67 was significantly associated with high histological grades and poor outcomes in pancreatic cancer. High MKI67 expression was correlated with poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients (P=0.009). MKI67 was an independent risk factor for the patient outcome (95%CI: 1.084-1.743, P<0.05). The MKI67 expression was positively correlated with the helper T cell 2 levels but negatively correlated with plasmacytoid DC, NK cells, mast cells, the T follicular helper, immune DC, and CD8 T cells. Conclusion MKI67 may serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer and the mechanism might be associated with immune escape or immunosuppression.

Objective:To investigatethe relationship between right ventricular blood flow components and right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) by 4D-FLOW cardiovascular MR (4D-FLOW CMR).Methods:Thirty patients with PH were prospectively enrolled in this study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization to measure hemodynamics and CMR to measure right ventricular blood flow and right ventricular function within 1 week. The long-axis 4-chamber and contiguous short axis cineslices were acquired with balanced steady-state free precession sequence to calculate RV functional metrics including right ventricular end diastolic volume, end systolic volume, ejection fraction, stroke output and other functional parameters. Ventricular flow was acquired in sagittal direction, using a 3D retrospectively ECG-triggered, navigator-gated prototype sequence to analyze.RV function and flow parameters were correlated with Spearman correlation analysis.Results:Right ventricular percent of direction flow(RVPDF),percent of delayed eject flow (RVPDEF),percent of retained flow (RVPRI) and percent of residual volume(RVPRV) of PH patients measured with 4D-FLOW were 16.4%±9.2%, 16.1%±5.6%, 16.8%±6.1%, and 50.5%±12.3%, respectively. RVPDF negatively correlated with RVPRVo ( r=-0.703, P<0.001) while RVPDEF positively correlated with RVPRI( r=0.955, P<0.001). RVPDF was positively correlated with right ventricular stroke volume index (RVSVI)( r=0.38, P=0.041) and right ventricular eject fraction(RVEF)( r=0.69, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with right ventricular end systolic volume index(RVESVI)( r=-0.65, P<0.001) and right ventricular mass index(RVMI)( r=-0.45, P=0.004). RVPRVo was negatively correlated with RVEF( r=-0.58, P=0.007). The sum of RVPDF and RVPDEF (RVPDF+RVPDEF) was 35.2%±11.4%. RVEF correlated with RVPDF+RVPDEF ( r=0.825, P<0.001) and comparable to RVPDF+RVPDEF ( t=1.427, P=0.164). RVPDF was negatively correlated with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ( r=-0.52, P=0.007) while RVPRVo was positively correlated with PVR ( r=0.54, P=0.004). Conclusions:4D-FLOW CMR can be used to measure right ventricular ejection fraction in PH patients without respiratory control. In PH patients, the right ventricular direct blood flow was significantly decreased, while the residual blood flow was significantly increased. The right ventricular direct blood flow and residual blood flow were related to the right ventricular function and pulmonary vascular resistance, which were important parameters to evaluate the right ventricular function and afterload in PH.

Objective To explore the application of 64 slice low dose spiral CT in pediatric paranasal sinus examination.Methods Sixty children with paranasal sinuses were randomly divided into three groups(control group,low dose 1 group,low dose 2 group),and were given conventional dose scanning(100 KV in tube voltage,100 mA in tube current),low dose scanning(100 KV in tube voltage,45 mA in tube current),and low dose scanning (100KV in tube voltage,25 mA in tube current).The single scan weighted CT dose index (CTDIw) of each patient was recorded and compared;and the quality of the scanned images of each group was evaluated by two chief physicians by blind method.Results Compared with conventional dose group,low dose 1,2 groups had significantly lower CTDIw,and the dose decreased for 59.23％ and 72.42％ respectively.The image quality of the low-dose 1 group did not change significantly,and all the images could meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis;but the image quality of the low-dose 2 group decreased significantly,and the images of 3 patients could not meet the requirements of clinical diagnosis.Conclusion Appropriate reduction of scanning parameters for paranasal sinuses children can not only obtain good quality images,but also effectively reduce the radiation dose of patients.

Objective To investigate the changes of left ventricular structure and function in patients with liver cirrhosis and their correlation with the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score. Methods A total of 89 cirrhotic patients admitted between June, 2012 and June, 2014 and 30 healthy control subjects were enrolled in the study. According to MELD score, the cirrhotic patients were divided into 3 groups with MELD scores≤9, between 10 and 19, and≥20. The parameters of the left ventricle in resting state were measured using Doppler echocardiography, including left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), left atrial diameter (LAD), ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac output (CO), mitral flow velocity, and E wave deceleration time (DT), and evaluated their relationship with MELD score. Results Compared with the control subjects, the cirrhotic patients showed significantly increased LVESD, LVEDD, IVST, LAD, CO and DT but reduced VE/VA ratio (P<0.05 or 0.01). The values of LVESD, LVEDD, IVST, LAD and DT increased gradually with MELD scores (P<0.05 or 0.01). VE/VA ratio was higher in patients with MELD score of 10-19 than in those with MELD score≤9, and decreased significantly in those with MELD score≥20. Of the cirrhotic patients, 55%were found to have left atrial enlargement and 44%had a VE/VA ratio≤1;left atrial enlargement and a VE/VA ratio below 1 were more common in patients with a MELD score≥20 than in those with lower MELD scores. The LAD, LVEDD and DT were positively correlated with MELD scores (r=0.208, 0.319 and 0.197, respectively;P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion The patients with liver cirrhosis can have cardiac function deficiency manifested mainly by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in positive correlation with the severity of liver disease.
