Objective To compare sleep electroencephalogram-modulated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (SEM-rTMS) with routine repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (R-rTMS) in the treatment of primary insomnia. Methods One hundred and twenty six patients with insomnia were divided randomly into a SEM-rTMS group (44 cases) , a R-rTMS group (42 cases) and a sham rTMS group (40 cases). Each case was treated with rTMS for 30 min once a day for 10 d under double blinding of the patient and therapist. The clinical effect was observed along with Krakow sleep scores, electroencephalograms and blood pressure before and after a 10-day course of therapy and 30 days later. Results During rTMS treatment, some patients reported feeling sleepy, and this was confirmed by their EEGs at the time. After the entire course of therapy, 80% of the SEM-rTMS group and 45% of the R-rTMS group showed improvements, a significant difference. At the 30th day after therapy, the effect in the SEM-rTMS group was still significantly better than in the R-rTMS group. There were no obvious side effects in any group throughout the whole observation period. Conclusions SEM-rTMS is more effective and more reliable than R-rTMS. SEM-rTMS is safe to use with primary insomnia patients.

Objective To explore the cause of secondary QT interval shortening. Method The data of a child with vasovagal syncope and cardiac depression in whom shortened QT interval was induced in head-up tilt test (HUTT) was analyzed retrospectively, and the related literatures were reviewed. Result A 12-year-old boy visited for fainting when brushing his teeth in the morning. ECG showed sinus bradycardia, heart rate at 55 times /min and normal QT and QTc interval. Dynamic electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, mean heart rate at 70 times/min, atrial anterior contraction 3 times, normal mean QT and mean QTc. UCG showed approximately normal heart structure and the left ventricular systolic function. There was no abnormality in EEG and cranial CT. His fasting blood glucose was 5.2 mmol/L. The basal tilt test was positive with vasovagal syncope and cardiac depression. During the tilt table test, Holter monitoring showed that sinus arrest occurred in the child when upright tilt for16 min, and then fainted. Time of sinus arrest was 2.9 s and 11.4 s, respectively, and artificial chest compressions were performed. The QT interval was shortened (QT=330 ms), and so was QTc interval (QTc=320 ms). The ratio of QT/QTp was 78% (the lower limit of normal QT interval was 88% of QTp) before sinus arrest occurred. Conclusion Increased vagal tone may induce QT interval shortening.

In order to research into the relationship between atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), aldosterone (Aldo) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), as well as normal pregnancy, the plasma concentrations of ANP and Aldo from normal pregnant women. PIH patients and their fetuses were measured by radioimmunoassay. It was found that maternal venous Aldo and ANP were higher in normal pregnant women than those in non-pregnant women. The plasma ANP was higher in PIH patients than that in normal pregnant women while plasma Aldo was lower. The plasma concentration of ANP was higher in the fetuses of PIH patients than that in the normal controls, but Aldo was lower. It is concluded that ANP concentration correlates significantly to the severity of PIH, and may be used for an early diagnosis of PIH.

Objective To investigate the effects of Compound Zhe Bei granule (CZBG) combined with doxorubicin on the expression of GST and Topo - Ⅱ in K562/A02 cell line multidrug resistance tumor xenografts in mice. Methods Tumor xenografts model was established by injecting the multidrug resistance cell line K562/A02 in the axillary flank of BALB/c - nu - nu mice. Drug - comgbination of CZBG intragastric administration and doxorubicin intraperitoneal injection ( i. p. ) was given to the BALB/c - nu nude mice. The tumor xenografts were made into slice after the dissection, and the expression of GST and Topo - Ⅱ in K562/A02 tumor xenografts in mice was investigated by immunohistochemical technique. The integral optical density (IOD) of GST and Topo- lⅡ in K562/A02 tumor xenografts was measured by Image ProPlus 6.0. Results Compared with the single treatment of doxorubicin i. p group,the combination of the doxorubicin and CZBG with dosage classified by three types( high, middle, low) can decrease IOD of GSH and Topo - Ⅱ in K562/A02 tumor xenografts with statistical significance( P

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of invasive cardiac catheterization for restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) and constrictive pericarditis (CP).Methods Twenty-seven children with CP or RCM hospitalized in Department of Cardiology,Shanghai Children's Medical Center,School of Medicine,Shanghai Jiaotong University from February 2002 to December 2015,were selected,including 10 patients who had been surgically documented CP and 17 patients with RCM who underwent cardiac catheterization.Intracardiac pressure waveforms were recorded and all the measurement indexes of pressure of all the patients were analyzed.The changes of cardiac pressure under deep breathing in 9 patients with local anesthesia was recorded.Results There were significant differences in pulmonary artery pressure,difference between left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and right ventricular end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP),and the ratio of RVEDP/right ventricular systolic pressure between group RCM and group CP [(50.2 ± 12.0) mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(38.1 ±6.8) mmHg,(7.8±5.5) mmHgvs.(1.8 ±4.7) mmHg,0.27 ±0.10vs.0.45 ± 0.20,respectively;t =2.912,2.787,2.418,all P < 0.05].However,there was overlapping for these criteria,and the predictive sensitivity of any of the criteria was less than 66.7%.In patients with CP,reciprocal changes in the filling between right ventricle and left ventricle occurred during respiration.In patients with RCM,the right ventricle and left ventricle pressures moved concordantly with respiration.The systolic area index was greater in group CP than that in group RCM (1.20 ± 0.03 vs.0.70 ± 0.14),and the difference was significant (t =6.152,P < 0.01).The systolic area index had a sensitivity of 100.0% and a predictive accuracy of 100.0% for the identification of patients with surgically proven CP.Conclusions Measurements in catheterization,especially the ratio of right ventricular to left ventricular systolic area during inspiration and expiration is a reliable catheterization criterion for differentiating CP from RCM.

Objective To explore and develop methods for encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) identification.Methods According to the genetic sequence VR-129B of EMCV recorded in the GenBank,five gene fragments were selected to design primer sequence pairs.RNA was extracted to run RT-PCR,and then the products of amplification were identified by agarose gel electrophoresis.The results of DNA sequences were compared with the sequences in GenBank of the same EMCV strains.Antiserum was prepared based on the EMCV cultured in RK cells for establishing indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA) and neutralization test method,and verification for precision and specificity of the two methods were carried out after it.Antiserum that was prepared with GST-VP1 and GST-VP2 expressed in E.coli was reacted with the purified EMCV in Western blot test.Results By sequencing and comparing,the similarity of DNA fragments between the obtained and the GenBank recorded was reached 98% to 100%.The antiserum of No.20100901 batch that was chosen as the first antibody at a dilution of 1 ∶ 160 to develop IIFA brought about a better specificity.The neutralization titers of 20100901 batch antiserum was 1 ∶ 30 211 measured by fixing virus and diluting serum method,which showed good specificity and precision.The results of the Western blot test showed two clear bands above and under 33×103 respectively,which matched the theoretical value.Conclusion The RT-PCR,indirect immunofluorescence,neutralization test and Western blot method for EMCV strains identification were established initially.
