Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2012;21(6):537-538
ObjectiveTo investigate different personality traits and psychological interventions'effect on the patients' anxiety in fiberbronchoscope examination.MethodsThe eysenck personality questionnaire(EPQ)scale and Zung self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) were used to assess the patients.The patients were randomly divided into experimental and control groups,the experimental group,respectively,the implementation of cognitive therapy and relaxation treatment of psychological intervention,psychological evaluation was investigated again before fiber bronchoscopy.ResultsThe scale showed that it had significant difference(P<0.05 ) between before and after the psychological intervention( before intervention:55.8 ± 1.50,54.9 ± 1.62,57.84 ± 2.13 ; after intervention:46.2 ± 1.38,45.3 ± 1.47,59.26 ± 2.41 ).The patients'personality trait was correlated with their anxiety(P<0.01 ).ConclusionsThe psychological intervention can be effective in reducing patients'anxiety,and it can help patients take the initiative to meet the inspection,improve the success rate of inspection.And different personality traits can effect on patients' anxiety level.

Objective To observe the effect of shenfu injection on ischemia/reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle of rats. Methods To make a model of ischemia/reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle of rats, and observe the plasma level of LDH, CK, MDA and the change of MDA, MPO, W/D in the skeletal muscle. Result Shenfu injection can reduce the heightened plasma level of LDH, CK, MDA and MDA, MPO, W/D of the skeletal muscle, lighten the injury of the ultrastructure. Conclusion Shenfu Injection can protect ischemia/reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle.

Objective:To evaluate diagnostic sensitivity of electroneurography(ENoG) for facial neurotmesis.Methods:The data of 24 patients suffering from facial neuratmesis on one side,having non-emergency operation,and having preoperative records of ENoG were collected.Among the patients,18 were men and 6 were women,aged from 3 to 55 years(median 28).The duration of injury before ENoG examination was from 1 to 56 days(mean 23.6 days) for them.The electroneurographic examination was carried out for facial nerves on both sides preoperatively.Percentages of evoked potential amplitude reduction on affected sides were calculated according to the value of normal side.The 90% reduction of amplitude was used as a cutting point.The facial neuratmesis was observed during operation.The sensitivity and false negative proportions of ENoG were analyzed.Results:Among the 24 patients with facial neurotmesis,22 had ENoG amplitude reduction over 90%,and 2 having this reduction less than 90%.The sensitivity and false negative proportions of ENoG in patients with facial neurotmesis were 91.7% and 8.3% respectively.Conclusion:The preoperative ENoG examination is high sensitivity for facial neurotmesis.The patients whose ENoG reduction over 90% should be advised to have a facial neurorrhaphy as soon as possible.

砄bjective: To explore an effective method for Electroneurography(ENoG) of facial nerve. Methods: ENoG of 114 normal subjets and 69 patients with traumatic facial nerve injuries were investigated. Latency time(LT), duration time(DT), amplitude(A) and square under the curve(S) were measured in facial muscles when facial nerve was stimulated postauricularly or anteroauricularly. Results: In most facial musles except square muscle of lower lip postauricular stimulation gave longer LT, shorter DT, lower A and smaller S. Conclusion: The postauricular stimulation is effective prior to anteroauricular stimulation for electroneurography of the facial nerve.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of electroacupuncture plus TDP for treating functional dyspepsia Methods: Sixty cases of functional dyspepsia were treated with electroacupuncture plus TDP, and another 60 cases were treated with Domperidone as a control. Results: After 10 treatments, the curative rate in treatment group was 33.3%, with a total effective rate of 91.7%. While in control group, the curative rate was 13.3%, with a total effective rate of 66.7%. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.001). Conclusion: Electroacupuncture plus TDP had the better therapeutic effect in treating functional dyspepsia.

Objective:To investigate varied electromyographic types in the patients with hemimasticatory spasm(HMS).Methods:Surface electromyography was recorded to study electromyographic features of 16 cases with HMS.Results:Spasm was found in mandibular rest position in 2 cases and in tooth contact position in 14 cases.During the involuntary spasm of the 14 cases, motor unit potential could be classified into three types:continuous(8 cases), rhythmic(3 cases) and irregular(3 cases).Conclusion:The electromyographic feature of hemimasticatory spasm is characterized by continuous motor unit potential discharge. The spasm is mostly triggered by tooth contact.

Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in the general population including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Autocrine regulation of vitamin D modulates important immune response.Vitamin D deficiency may be involved in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases including RA.Vitamin D regulates both the innate and adaptive immune responses.Vitamin D's effects on the innate immune system are mainly through the toll-like receptor and on the adaptive immune system through T cell differentiation,particularly the Helper T cell (Th) 17 response.As Thl7 cells are critical in the pathogenesis in RA,what effect will vitamin D deficiency lead to on the RA? Many data have indicated the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and RA disease activities,but not all the results are consistent.Here,we review the immune-modulatory roles of vitamin D and its effects on disease activity,osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease risk in RA.

Objective To observe the influence of short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion(CSII)on ?-cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods A total of 32 inpatients with newly diagnosed T2DM who had a 14-day course of CSII were randomly assigned to two groups of OGTT and arginine stimulating test(AST).Before and after 3 days and 14 days CSII treatments,OGTT and AST were performed respectively.The changes of the values of plasma glucose,HOMA-IR,HOMA-? and △C30/△G30,△C120/△G120 or arginine-induced acute C-peptide reaction(ACRARG)in two groups were compared.Results In OGTT,the values of plasma glucose and HOMA-IR were decreased,HOMA-? and △C120/△G120 were increased significantly after CSII therapy,both in day 3 and day 14;and △C30/△G30 were unchanged after 3 days but increased markedly after 14 days.However,in ACRARG,the above mentioned parameters almost remained unchanged after CSII treatment in 3 days or 14 days.Conclusions In newly diagnosed T2DM with elevated fasting glucose levels,intensive insulin therapy can partly improve ?-cell function showed by OGTT,not by AST.
