Objective:To evaluate the effects of humanistic care on medication compliance and social function of schizophrenic patients. Methods:76 patients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into two groups within two days of hospital admission. The observational group was applied humanistic care but the control group with rou-tine care. All the information related to the present study was collected using unified language. At the time of ad-mission, day 1, day 14, day 28 and day 56 after the intervention, the effect of humanistic care was evaluated by medication compliance, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale ( BPRS) , Personal and Social Performance Scale ( PSP) and Family Concern Index Questionnaire ( APGAR) . Results:The patient′s medication compliance rate in the obser-vational group was higher than those in the control group, especially, at the time of day 56, the patients in the ob-servational group ( full compliance : 66%, partial compliance: 44%) was significantly better than those in the control group ( full compliance 19%, partial compliance 66%, incompliance 15%) . There were no statistical difference in the two groups of the BPRS scores on day 1 and day 14 of admission, however, the scores of the pa-tients in the observational group was significantly lower than those in the control group on day 28 and day 56 . As for PSP, the result was similar to BPRS on day 1 and day 14, while the PSP score of the patients in the observational group was significantly higher than those in the control group on day 28 and day 56. In terms of APGAR, the score of the patients in the observational group was significantly higher than those in the control study except day 1 of ad-mission. Conclusion:Humanistic care has positive effects on medication compliance and social function of schizo-phrenic patients especially after hospital discharge. The implementation of humanistic care would guide patients to maintain the capacity of life, labor and social communication, enhance the patient's sense of control over life, and improve their confidence to overcome the disease. With humanistic care, patients are more willing to cooperate with treatment, and further to reduce the recurrence and degradation of social function.

[Summary] The aim of this study was to detect the levels of serum miR-130b expression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to analyze their correlation with diabetic renal damage. 243 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into three groups according to urinary albumin/creatinine ratio ( UACR ): normoalbuminuria group (UACR<30 mg/g, n=103), microalbuminuria group (UACR 30-300 mg/g, n=86), and macroalbuminuria group(UACR>300 mg/g, n=54). The levels of serum miR-130b were validated by realtime polymerase chain reaction. Serum transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) in all patients and 59 healthy volunteers. Compared with control group, the level of serum miR-130b in the type 2 diabetes mellitus group were significantly decreased, gradually with the increases of UACR. The level of serum miR-130b was inversely correlated with blood urea nitrogen ( r=-0. 295, P<0.05), serum creatinine(r=-0. 316, P<0. 05), UACR(r=-0. 463, P<0. 05), but positively related to the estimated glomerular filtration rate(r=0. 367, P<0. 01). The level of serum miR-130b was also negatively correlated to homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 (r=-0. 257,-0. 345,-0. 242,-0. 562,-0. 622, all P<0. 01). The present study indicates that serum miR-130b might be a potential new biomarker for early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. Serum miR-130b might be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To compare postoperative complications between endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast areola approach and open thyroidectomy.Methods From June 2011 to June 2014,475 patients underwent thyroidectomy.Patients were divided into traditional open group (251 cases) and endoscopic thyroidcctomy group (224 cases).Postoperative complications were recorded and compared.Results All operations were successfully completed.There was no case in endoscopic thyroidectomy group converted to traditional open surgery.There was no serious postoperative complication occurred,including injury to trachea,mediastinal emphysema,intraoperative massive hemorrhage and cardiopulmonary accidents.The difference of postoperative complication between two groups had no statistical significance (all P ＞0.05) as to permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,Homer syndrome,permanent hypoparathyroidism,chyle leakage,postoperative hemorrhage and infection of incision.However,postoperative ecchymosis was more often in endo group (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Compared to traditional open thyroidectomy,endoscopic thyroidectomy via breast areola approach has significant cosmetic advantages without increasing the incidence of major postoperative complications.

Methods 118 cases RA patients,randomly divide into 57 cases of MTX(control)group to adopt 15 mg.per week, for six months,and 61 cases of MTX+CsA group to adopt cotreatment with the MTX 15 mg.per week and CsA 3 mg (kg?d)to observe post-treatment of the clinical signs and index of chemical analysis.Results the results show that the clinical signs and index of chemical of two groups both obviously improvement(P

Objective To investigate the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their correlation. Methods Real-time PCR was used to determine the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA in 43 de novo ALL and 30 non-malignant patients (used as control). Results The positivity rate of CDX2 mRNA expression in ALL group was 93%, but CDX2 mRNA expression couldn′t be detected in the control group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of β-catenin could be detected in patients in both two groups, butβ-catenin mRNA expression in the ALL group was significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.01). And mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were significantly correlated with WBC counts and LDH level (P<0.01). When the ALL patients acquired complete remission (CR), the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin were significantly decreased compared with their newly diagnosed status , while disease-relapsed the mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were increased again. There was significantly positive correlation between CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA expressions (r = 0.835, P = 0.000). Conclusion Up-regulation of CDX2 and activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway coexist in the ALL patients and the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin are positively correlated.

Objective To investigate the effect of trichostatin A (TSA) and 5-azacitidine (5-AzaC) on pancreatic β-cells impaired by cytokine,via measuring the proliferation,apoptosis,and function of pancreatic β-cells.Methods RIN-m5f was impaired by interleukin-1β and interferon-γin vitro,and treated with TSA and 5-AzaC.Experiment groups included blank control group,cytokine induction group,0.05/0.10 μmoL/L TSA group,0.63/1.25 μmoL/L 5-AzaC group,and0.10 μmol/L TSA plus 1.25 μmol/L 5-AzaC group.The viability of RIN-m5f cells was detected by MTT assay.Apoptotic rate was determined by Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) /propidium iodide flow cytometry.Insulin secretion was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The viability of RIN-m5f cells in 0.05/0.10 μmoL/L TSA group,0.63/1.25 μmol/L 5-AzaC group,and 5-AzaC plus TSA group was 70.1％/79.2 ％,67.3 ％/82.9 ％,and 89.1％ respectively,being higher than that in the cytokine group (33.9％,P＜0.05) ; the apoptosis rate was 10.3％/10.5％,7.9％/9.6％,and 8.2％,being lower than that in the cytokine group (16.6％,P＜0.05) ; the capacity of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of all the treated groups was higher than that in the cytokine group (P＜0.05).Conclusion TSA and 5-AzaC might promote the proliferation of pancreatic β-cells impaired by cytokines,inhibit its apoptosis and recover its insulin secretion.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanisms of primary amenorrhea by using arrayCGH technology. Methods Ten patients with primary amenorrhea and 10 female volunteers with regular menstrual cycles as healthy controls were selected. All patients and control samples were analyzed by conventional chromosome analysis (G-banding technology) and array-CGH technology, respectively. ArrayCGH was performed using Affymetrix Cytogenetic 2. 7M arrays following the manufacturer's standard protocol. Results Both the patient group and control group analyzed by conventional G-banding karyotype technology showed a negative result with a normal female karyotype: 46, XX. The result of array-CGH analysis demonstrated a microdeletion of approximately 110 000 bp located at the end of the short arm of X chromosome [46, X, del (X) (p22. 33 )] were identified in 5 patients, which was not detected in the control group. All healthy control samples by array-CGH analysis showed no pathological DNA copy number variation. Conclusions Array-CGH technology can improve the diagnosis rate of chromosomal disease at the DNA level. It is necessary to provide array-CGH for higher resolution genetic analysis of idiopathic primary amenorrhea patient who can not be identified by conventional technology.
