Objective To investigate the characteristics of marital quality and social support status of the patients with breast cancer during the period of chemotherapy and the correlation of both factors.Methods Seventy-seven patients with breast cancer were divided into beginning-, middle-and final-staging groups of chemotherapy.And they were studied with Olson marital quality questionnaire and Social Support Rating Scale.Results The total scores of marital quality and other factors were the lowest in the mid-chemotherapy group.Among three groups,the mean of the objective support and availability were gradually increased with the chemotherapy going.The score of objective support was higher in the final than beginning chemotherapy groups (P =0.009).There was a positive correlation between marital satisfaction and the objective support (r =0.248, P =0.036), and between the total score of quality of marriage and subjective support (r =0.286, P = 0.015).Conclusion The marital quality of breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy is poor,and subjective or and objective support might improve the patient's marital quality.

Objective To investigate status about the heart rate variability and executive function in patients with insomnia.Methods The study involves 165 cases of patients with insomnia and 92 cases normal.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) screening for insomnia,Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) for the assessment of executive function and Self-generate Physiological Coherence System (SPCS) were used to collect the data of heart rate variability (HRV).Results The SDNN,RMSSD,TP,LF,HF of HRV of the insomnia group were significantly higher than these factors of control group (t=2.712,2.726,2.427,2.542,2.338,P<0.05 or P< 0.01).In the WCST,number of completed categories,conceptualization percentage of the group of patients with insomnia were significantly lower than the control group (t=-2.368,-2.165,all P<0.05),persistent errors,persistent error percentages,continuous number of responses of patients' group were significantly higher than the control group (t=2.712,2.991,2.690,all P<0.01).TP,LF,HF,LF/HF of HRV and the number of error responses,persistent errors,persistent error percentages,continuous number of responses of WCST had significant negative correlations (r=-0.171--0.245,P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the conceptualization percentage were significantly positively correlated (r=0.198-0.227,P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion The results show that insomnia not only cause individual autonomic disorders,but damage the executive function of prefrontal.HRV and executive function in patients with insomnia have close relationships.

Objective To study the protection against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury by human IL-10 gene transduction in rats. Methods Ad-hIL10-EGFP (1. 0 ? 109 plaque forming units/ml) was administered into SD rats by intravenous injection 72 hours before hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced. Liver function were tested and HE pathology was observed. The expression of hIL-10 was studied with ELISA or immunohistochemical method, the expression of EGFP was observed in frozen sections under the fluoroscopy. The apoptosis of hepatocytes was observed with Tunel's assay. Results Compared with control rats, the expression of EGFP and hIL-10 was observed, serum hIL-10 level was (815.74 ? 284. 76) ng/ml, liver function of treatment rats were improved, the paraffin sections showed that the hepatocytes were not significantly swelling and liver pathology ameliorated, the number of apoptosis cells decreased (P

Objective To investigate methods for prenatal diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3).Methods Cordocentesis were performed in the pregnant SCA3 female proband of pedigree during the 20th gestational week.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and short tandem repeat (STR) analysis based on CEQS000 sequencer were applied to analyze the CAG repeat of SCA3 gene.Results The proband had 31/75 CAG repeat alleles of SCA3 gene; her spouse had 14/27 CAG repeat alleles; the fetuse had 14/31 CAG repeat alleles (14 repeat from the father,and 31 repeat from the mother),which is in conformity with Medelian inheritance.The fetuse inherited the normal CAG repeat allele from the mother.The above results of the fetuse were verified after its birth.Conclusion Detecting CAG repeat dynamic mutation of SCA3 gene based on umbilical cord blood and STR analysis could be a rapid and reliable method for prenatal diagnosis of SCA3.

Vagus nerve reflex is a rare complication of percutaneous renal decompression. It is often induced by excessively rapid decompression of severe hydronephrosis and traction of the main nerves innervating the kidney. The clinical manifestations are irritability, sweating, clammy skin, hiccups, slow heart rate. It is easy to misdiagnose. In this study, 4 patients with vagus nerve excitement after percutaneous renal decompression were treated. After monitoring the patient’s vital signs and giving treatment such as expanding blood volume and raising blood pressure, the symptoms gradually disappeared.

Objective To explore the effects of gait training with an alternative gait orthosis (AGO) on the neurogenic bladders of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Method Twelve patients with complete SCI at the thoracic and lumbar level were trained for 8 weeks on motor and bladder function. After that, specific gait training with an AGO was given for another 8 weeks. American Spinal Injury Association ( ASIA ) sensation and motor function assessments were done before and after the gait training with the AGO, and bladder capacity, residual urine and urine flow rates were also assessed. Results Compared with pre-treatment there was no significant difference in average ASIA senzsation and motor scores after training, but the maximum rate of urine flow, average urine volume and single urination had significantly increased and residual urine volume had significantly decreased. Conclusions Therapeutic gait training with an AGO can improve bladder function after SCI.
