Objective To investigate the impact of psoriacis on quality of life in patients with psoriasis. Methods A questionnaire interview included daily life and activities social activities and psychologic status were conducted of. Results 48 patients, 14 patients(29%) were impacted on quatity of life in heavy, 23 patiemts(48%) in middle, 11 patients(23%) in mildly no impact in zero. Conclusion The psoriasis valgaris influenced the Quality of life.

Objective To investigate the application value of warming humidification oxygen therapy in patients after tracheotomy.Methods Forty-one patients after tracheotomy were collected consecutively for this study.All patients were randomly assigned into the treatment group (21 cases)and the control group (20 cases).The treatment group adopted warming humidification oxygen therapy,and the control group adopted common airway moistening method.Moist effect judgment,viscosity of sputum,phlegm scab formation,respiratory irritation symptoms,airway mucosal bleeding,air way resistance,lung infection cases,average days in the ICU were investigated.Results There were statistically significant differences in moist effect judgment,viscosity of sputum,phlegm scab formation,respiratory irritation symptoms,airway mucosal bleeding,air way resistance,lung infection cases,average days in the ICU between the two groups.Conclusions Warming humidification oxygen therapy is more suitable to patients with tracheotomy than common airway moistening method.

The energy cost of the daily major activities, the basal metabolic rates (BMR), resting metabolic rates (RMR) and total energy expenditure of university students per day under normal conditions were determined respectively by Douglas' method. The average BMR of male and female subjects were 2.80?0.14 and 2.74?0.13 kJ.m-2min-1. (0.669 and 0.656 kcal?m~2?min-1) respectively. The total energy expenditure per day of male students was 11.32 MJ, and of female students 9.92 MJ per day. The energy cost of different activity can be used as the basic data in studies of energy metabolism.

Stathmin is a novel member of microtubule-destabilizing proteins that play a critical role in the regulation of the dynamic equilibrium of microtubules during different phases of the cell cycle.The overexpression of stathmin was found in different type of cancer.Inhibition of stathmin expression in malignant cells may interfere with their orderly progression through the cell cycle.Overexpression of stathmin can affect the action of antimicrotuble drugs by markedly decreasing binding of paclitaxel,and increasing binding of Vinca alkaloids.In addition,stathmin provides an attractive molecular target for cancer therapy.It may be possible to combine adenovirus-mediated anti-stathmin ribozyme therapy with a chemotherapeutic agent such as taxol to obtain a more potent antiproliferative and antitumor effect.

Chronic pelvic pain is a common symptom of gynecological diseases,traditional Chinese medicine treatment is a important method in treating chronic pelvic pain without operation indication.According to his clinical experience of more than sixty years,famous gynecological professor XU Run-san suggested that deficient syndrome of chronic pelvic pain possesses a definite proportion in clinic;most of chronic repeated pelvic pain of long course has the pathogenesis of qi,yang deficiency,stagnation of blood circulation and deficiency complicated with blood stasis.The etiology of chronic pelvic pain is complicated,according to the TCM theory of "treating different diseases with the same method",tonifying method such as nourishing qi and raising yang,warming spleen and stomach,nourishing qi and activating blood,warming meridian and resolving stasis can be used for syndrome of qi,yang deficiency.Treatment with tonifying decoctions such as buzhongyiqi decoction,huangqijianzhong decoction based on syndrome differentiation is the key to improve the curative effect.

Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the initial amount of total RNA input,adapter dilution and PCR amplification cycles on the results of small RNA library preparation and high-throughput sequencing.Methods Based on the sequencing reads number,the number of detected miRNAs and the accuracy of quantitative detection,we explored the effects of initial Total RNA,dilution ratio and PCR cycles on the quality of microRNA library preparation and high-throughput sequencing,respectively.Results For libraries preparation of the normal RNA input(1 μg),the adapter dilution combined with 22 PCR cycles could gain the best quality of sequencing.In the low-input libraries(10 ng),adapter dilution and increased PCR cycles would also improve the quality of sequencing,but as compared with the 1 μg library,there was lower correlation with microarray quantitative results in general.Conclusions The initial amount of RNAs input has the biggest effects on the quality of sequencing,and the quantity accuracy rate of low-input libraries is lower than the normal libraries generally.Increasing the PCR amplification cycles properly is indispensable to low-input libraries.

Objective To identify G?quadruplex structures in the promoter region of MET. Methods CD spectroscopy,UV spectroscopy,non?denatured electrophoresis and PCR stop assay were applied to indicate the G?quadruplex structure and its function. Results The Pu23WT se?quence in the promoter of MET adopted an intramolecular parallel G?quadruplex structure under physiological conditions in vitro,which can stop the extension of Pmet. Conclusion G?quadruplex structure in the promoter might inhibit MET gene expression in vivo.

The fetal stage is a critical period for brain development. Intrauterine growth restriction(IUGR)af-fects the growth of fetus and impairs the brain development severely,resulting in long - term neurological sequelae such as motor and behavioral disorders. Since their brain underdevelopment originated in the uterus,postnatal interventions usually fail to improve the brain function. Then antenatal interventions become urgent to protect the brain,taurine has appeared a high practical value in improving the brain development. The adverse effects of IUGR on fetal brain develop-ment and the possibilities of antenatal interventions were introduced in this paper in order to improve the prognosis of the nervous system.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of methylmalonic acidemia(MMA) in order to improve our understanding of it.Methods We analyzed the clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations and treatments of 26 cases of methylmalonic acidemia in children.Results Twenty-four cases were involved in nervous system.Nine patients were involved in renal system.Eight cases of hematological involved.Liver enzyme elevated in 2 cases as well as the cardiac system were involved in 3 cases.One case was with pneumonia onset.The laboratory findings showed metabolic acidosis in 12 cases,hyperhomocysteinemia in 8 cases and remarkable elevation of urinary methylmalonic acid concentration in all cases.Some abnormalities in globus pallidus and cerebral white matter as well as diffuse cerebral atrophy were noted by the brain CT and MRI in 15 cases.Sixteen children have received therapy of vitamin B12,and supplementation of L-carnitine with restricted-protein diet.The follow-up for a period ranging from 3 months to 1.5 years( mean 8.5 months) of 15 cases with medical therapy showed a favorable outcome of nervous system improvement in 12 cases,however,2 patients died from severe metabolic acidosis.8 patients with renal involvement were normal in urine routine and renal function.Conclusion Methylmalonic acidemia has different clinical features,so early urine organic acids analysis by GC/MS method is essential Long-term and reasonable treatment after diagnosis is an effective way to improve the prognosis.
