Objective To explore the effects of psychological intervention on negative emotions and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods A total of 112 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were divided into two groups:the intervention group and the control group.All patients were given drugs for treatment of RA.Additionally,patients in the intervcntion group were received psychological intervention.Zung's self-rating depression scale (SDS),Zung's self-rating anxiety scale (SAS),RA disease activity score (DAS28),visual analog scale (VAS),disability index of health assessment questionnaire (HAQ-DI) were assessed,and the related laboratory parameters such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C reactive protein (CRP),rheumatoid factor (RF)were determined.Results 6 months after the treatment,there were significant differences in SDS and SAS between the treatment group and the control group [SDS:(31.7±4.7)scores vs.(29.6±4.4)scores; SAS:(34.7±5.3)scoresvs.(32.6±5.1)scores; t=2.441,-2.119,both P＜0.05].The patients with tender joints,joint swelling and morning stiffness time were less in the treatment group than in control group [(5±3) vs.(7±4),(4±3) vs.(5±3),(36±16) min vs.(42±19)min.respectively,t=2.054,2.393,1.995,all P＜0.05].The scores of HAQ-DI,VAS and DAS28were lower in the treatment group than in control group [(0.89±0.73) vs.(1.20±0.77),(6.1±1.6) vs.(6.8±1.8),(3.2±1.7) vs.(3.9±1.9),respectively,t=2.136,2.406,2.135,all P＜0.05].There was a significant difference in CRP between the treatment group and the control group [(34±14) mg/L vs.(37± 17)mg/L,t=2.406,P＜0.05].Conclusions Psychological intervention can improve the negative emotions and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To observe the effect of combination therapies with methotrexate, sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine on hyperlipemia of rheumatoid arthritis.Method From 2009 November to 2010 November, 68 RA inpatients and outpatients in the department of rheumatism of our hospital were randomly divided into two groups: A group and B group, 34 cases in each group. The patients in A group were given combination of methotrexate, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine sulfate for the treatment of RA,patients in B group, based on A group's treatment, were treated by xuezhikang. Some indexes were observed in two group before treatment and 6 months after treatment, including cholesterolTC,low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C , triglyceride TG , high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C , swelling index, joint pain index, time of morning stiffness, C-reactive protein CRP , erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR and DAS28. Results After 6 months’ treatment, the serum levels of TC, TG,, LDL-C, both in two groups of patients, were lower than those before treatment, and HDL-C was higher than that before treatment, there were significant differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . After 6 months of treatment,DAS28,ESR,CRP,joint tenderness,joint swelling and morning stiffness time, both in two groups RA patients, significantly reduced compared with before treatment, there were a very significant difference (P<0.05 or P<0.01) .After treatment, the above indexes had no statistically significant difference between two groups (P>0.05) . Conclusion RA patients have abnormal blood lipid levels, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs have effect on blood lipid during remission joint disease in RA patients.

Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is common in patients with bowel or gynaecological canc-er. Although surgery is the primary treatment for most patients with MBO, it should not be undertaken rou-finely in patients with poor prognosis. Nasogastric drainage is only a temporary measure. Serf-expanding me-tallic stents are optimistic in malignant obstruction of the gastric outlet and proximal small bowel.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours(GISTs)are the most common primary mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract and the disease is occasional and asymptomatic. Though the high rate of recur- rence after surgery, operation remains the firstline treatment of the GIST without metabasis. With the consid- eration the molecular biology of tumor, the treatment including surgery and molecular targeted therapy can im- prove the prognosis of GISTs.

[Objective]To study the expression of Cad-Ⅱ gene in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) transfected with Cad-ⅡcDNA after autografted into the bone defects. [Method]The experimental model of ilium segment defect was established in 20 Japanese white rabbits.The rabbit MSCs were isolated,cultured and expanded in vitro,and then the MSCs,transfected with Cad-Ⅱ and compounded with collagen sponge were autografted into the ilium segment defect.At 4 weeks of operation,the MSCs/ collagen sponge were excised,and the expression of Cad-Ⅱ was evaluated with RT-PCR and immunohistochemical methods.[Result]All of the bone defects treated with implants exhibited new bone formation at 4 weeks postoperatively.In the transfection group,Cad-Ⅱ gene mRNA expression was higher than that in the control group(P

Urban and periurban agriculture (UPA) is the important part of modern agriculture. It can resolve the food supply to city residents, increase employments and improve the urban ecosystem. But without proper management and reasonable programming, UPA also can carry heavy burden to urban environment and impact people's health. This paper specifically analyzed the potential risks of urban agriculture and suggested preventive and control measures.

Aim This study was designed to investigate the effects of pravastatin,a potent 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor,on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).Methods Cultured VSMCs from rabbit thoracic aorta were incubated with various concentrations of LPC in the absence or presence of different concentrations of pravastatin. MTT was used to evaluate the proliferation of VSMCs. We determined the effects of LPC and pravastatin on neutrophil K562 adhesion to endothelial cells ECV304 by directly counting non-adhesive K562 cells.Results Incubation of VSMCs with LPC (1～10 ?mol?L -1) stimulated proliferation of VSMCs in a time- and dose-dependent manner,while pravastatin (0.3～1 mmol?L -1) treatment prevented the proliferation of VSMCs caused by LPC. Moreover, incubation of ECV304 with 3 ?mol ? L -1 LPC for 12 h significantly enhanced K562 cells adhesion to endothelial cells, whereas pretreatment with pravastatin reduced leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Conclusion These results suggest that pravastatin can antagonize the effects of VSMCs proliferation and leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion induced by LPC.

Objective To develop a new type of gene vaccine against plague. Methods caf1 gene of caf Operon Encoding F1 Antigen of Y. pestis was inserted into pHSS6-mTn-3xHA/lacZ library plasmids, the recombinant plasmids were linearized with Not I and transformed into yeast cell by lithium acetate (LiAc) method to induce homologous recombination. Positive recombinants were then selected with uracil-lack medium. Results These recombinants were confirmed by colony PCR to have the target gene fragments. Conclusion The present study provided a platform for constructing a novel expression system for expressing Y. pestis F1 Antigen via homologous recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which may contribute to the genetic prevention of plague through digestive-tract-route (DTR).
