Objective To evaluate effect of humanized nursing on psychological state of patients with chronic urticaria receiving autohemotherapy. Methods 58 cases with chronic urticaria in our hos-pital were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 29 cases in each group, the control group was treated with conventional care, the observation group received conventional care combined with humanized nursing. The anxiety, depression and satisfaction degree were compared for these two groups and the data went through χ2 test and t test. Results The score of self- rating anxiety scale (SAS) and serf-rating depression scale (SDS) of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, the satisfaction rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the con-trol group. Conclusions Application of humanized nursing in patients with chronic urticaria receiving autohemotherapy can reduce their anxiety and depression and has pivotal significance on treatment of pa-tients with chronic urticaria.

Objective To study the efficacy of movement imagination combined with biofeedback for stroke patients with upper extremity dysfunction. MethodsEighty stroke survivors were recruited and randomly divided into a movement imagination group ( n =40) and a movement imagination combined with biofeedback group ( n =40).Their EMG mean values during wrist dorsiflexion were amplified and calculated.Fugl-Meyer upper extremity function scores (FMAs) and the modified Barthl index (MBI) were recorded before and after 6 weeks of treatment.ResultsAfter 6 weeks of treatment the two groups had significantly higher mean EMG values,FMA scores and MBI scores,but the effects in the combination group were significantly better than those in the simple movement imagination group. ConclusionMovement imagination can be made more effective by combining it with biofeedback for promoting the recovery of stroke patients with upper extremity dysfunction.

Objective To study the time-course relationship of eotaxin mRNA and TNF-? mRNA expression in the lung tissue of sensitized mice after antigen challenge and the effects of Cryptoporus polysaccharide (CP) on these expression. Methods Eotaxin mRNA and TNF-? mRNA expression was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The function implications of eotaxin mRNA and TNF-? mRNA expression were examed by detecting the number of total leucocyte and eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Results Peak level of TNF-? mRNA expression appeared at 8 h and eotaxin mRNA expression at 24 h in the lung tissue of sensitized mice after antigen challenge. Compared with the control group, total numbers of leukocyte and eosinophil in BALF increased in sensitized mice. CP 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg inhibited eotaxin mRNA and TNF-? mRNA expression, and inflammatory cells accumulation in airway of the sensitized mice in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion The mechanism of inhibitory effects of CP on eotaxin mRNA and TNF-? mRNA expression may be related to the anti-allergic inflammation.

Objective To discuss CT examination in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal perforation (GP). Methods All CT data of 13 adult patients with GP were reviewed retrospectively. Results In all 13 cases,gastric perforation occurred in 5 cases,duodenal perforation in 7,and traumatic duodenal avulsion in 1.CT findings of GP included gas accumulation under the recess of xiphoid,gas accumulation in the area of lesser omentum,gas accumulation under the recess of peritoneal cavity,and seroperitoneum. Conclusion As a non-invasive examination means for abdomen,CT examination can discover whether there is dissociative gas or not and estimate the amount of gas in abdomen more rapidly and exactly.CT can also estimate the position of perforation elementarily.The recess under xiphoid is the first place where the dissociative gas assembles after gastrointestinal perforation.

Objective To determine the concentration of soluble PD-1 (sPD-1) in the sera of patients with recurrent genital herpes (RCH), and to explore the significance of abnormal expression of sPD-1 in RCH. Methods Serum samples were obtained from 88 healthy blood donors, 74 patients with RCH including 34 cases of outbreak-stage RCH and 40 cases of stable-stage RCH. The serum level of sPD-1 was measured by monoclonal antibody labeling and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results A significant difference was observed in the serum level of sPD-1 between the patients with RGH and the blood donors (33.06 ± 17.5 μg/L vs. 53.07 ± 26.3μg/L, P < 0.01) and between the patients with outbreak-stage RGH and those with stable-stage RGH (27.47 ± 12.9 μg/L vs. 37.71 ± 19.6 μg/L, P< 0.01). Conclusions There is a low expression of sPD-1 in patients with RGH, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying the escape of HSV- Ⅱ from immunologic surveillance and development of immunological tolerance.

Objective To determine the levels of plasma histamine and oxidative status in patients with dermatographism before and after the treatment with anti-histamine drugs. Methods Totally, 85 patients with dermatographism were randomly divided into two groups to receive oral desloratadine and cetirizine respectively for 4 weeks. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the plasma level of histamine, superoxide dismutases (SOD), glutathion peroxidase (GSH-PX) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in all the patients before and after the treatment and in 15 normal human controls. The efficacy of desloratadine and cetirizine for dermatographism was estimated. Results The response rate was 83.72% and 78.57% in patients treated with desloratadine and those with cetirizine, respectively (x2 = 0.369, P> 0.05). The untreated patients with dermatographism showed an elevation in the plasma level of histamine (3.87 ± 1.21 ng/ml vs. 1.76 ± 0.56 ng/ml, P< 0.05) and MDA (3.86 ± 1.03 nmol/ml vs. 2.19 ± 0.82 nmol/ml, P< 0.05), but a decline in the activity of SOD (86.29 ± 19.9 U/ml vs. 112.12 ± 27.88 U/ml, P< 0.05) and GSH-PX (74.52 ± 47.67 vs.915.06 ± 115.96, P< 0.05) compared with the normal human controls. The treatment with antihistamine induced a reduction in the plasma level of histamine (1.61 ± 0.47 ng/ml vs. 3.87 ± 1.21 ng/ml, P< 0.05) and MDA (2.65 ± 0.77 nmol/ml vs. 3.86 ± 1.03 nmol/ml, P< 0.05), but an increment in the activity of GSH-PX (921.46 ± 157.37 vs.74.52 ± 47.67, P < 0.05) with no changes of SOD in patients with dermatographism. Conclusions In patients with dermatographism, plasma histamine is increased and there is an imbalance of oxidation-antioxidation.Desloratadine and cetirizine are effective for the treatment of dermatographism.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of scalp-acupuncture on intelligence in patients with vascular dementia (VaD). METHODS: A total of 108 VaD patients were randomly divided into two groups: scalp-acupuncture group and Western medicine group. The scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Blesse Dementia Scale (BDS), Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS), Abilities of Daily Life (ADL) before and after treatment in the two groups were detected. RESULTS: A total of 92 patients completed the treatment. The scores of MMSE, BDS and HDS in the two groups were significantly increased, and the ADL scores significantly declined (P<0.05). There was no difference in the scores of MMSE, BDS, HDS and ADL between the two groups before and after the treatment. There was no difference in the total effectiveness between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Scalp-acupuncture therapy could improve the clinical intelligence level of VaD patients.

In order to explore the MRI volume of the amygdala and hippocampus in patients with major depression, quantitative MRI of the amygdala and hippocampus were studied in 22 patients with major depression and compared with 13 age-matched controls. The results showed that both groups exhibited similar significant hippocampal asymmetry (left smaller than right). The volume of the bilateral hippocampus was significantly smaller in the major depression group than that in control group. The patients had significant asymmetry of the amygdalar volumes (right smaller than left). No correlation was found between hippocampal volume abnormalities and ill duration. It was concluded that the hippocampus and amygdala within limbic-cortical networks may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of major depression.

Objective:To develop a set of algorithms that could predict the precise size of acetabular cup preoperatively by the deep learning neural network technology.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 30 patients with femoral head necrosis from April 2019 to April 2020, including 15 males and 15 females. At the age of (54.8±10.5) years (range 33-72 years). Thirteen hips on the left and seventeen hips on the right, who underwent primary unilateral THA. Based on the manually segmented hip joint CT database, a deep learning convolutional neural network was trained to realize automatic segmentation. A customized algorithm was created to fit the surface of the acetabulum. By the application of another deep learning convolutional neural network, the identification of anatomical points of the pelvis and correction of the pelvic position were realized. So that the placement of the acetabulum cup could be done. DOC (dice overlap coefficients) as well as the average error parameter were adopted to evaluate the accuracy of the above steps. The novel algorithm and Orthoview software were retrospectively used to template the acetabular cup separately. The results of both groups were compared with the actual size and the coincidence rate was calculated to evaluate the accuracy of the novel algorithm. To verify this algorithm, the conformance rate was calculated respectively.Results:Compared with other classical segmentation networks, the G-NET network can segment the pelvic with femoral head necrosis more accurately (DOC 92.51%± 6.70%). It also has better robustness. The average error of the point recognition network is 0.87 pixels. Among the 30 patients, the AI-based algorithm group had a complete coincidence rate of 96.7% and the Orthoview group had a complete coincidence rate of 73.3%. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.405, P=0.011). Conclusion:The artificial intelligence-based algorithm can segment the CT image series and identify the feature points of the patient's hip accurately. Compared with the conventional 2D preoperative planning method, the AI-based algorithm is relatively more accurate. This artificial intelligence-based 3D preoperative software has promising prospect to makeaccurate surgical plan efficiently.

Objective To investigate standard diagnosis and treatment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage to improve the prognosis of the patients. Methods A retrospective study was done on 75 patients with CSF leakage from January 2004 to March 2007 in our hospital. There were 51 patients with rhinorrhea, nine with otorrhea and 15 with wound/incision leakage. Of all, 39 patients had traumatic leakage, 32 postoperative leakage and four spontaneous leakage. In the study, 23 patients were cured by position testing and drug therapy and 16 by cerebrospinal fluid drainage and/or wound debridement but 36 were treated with surgeries including craniotomy repair in 17, extracranial repair in 17 and CSF shunt in five (three received CSF shunt after repair). Results Of all, 64 patients were cured, 10 gained im-provement but one died. Conclusion Standard diagnosis and treatment of CSF leakage helps improve cure rate and reduce complications.
