Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2006;0(08):-
Restenosis is a major complication after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention. Evaluation of restenosis early and accurately can help to giude treatment, improve outcome and save costs for the patients. All kinds of imaging methods for restenosis have their merits and demerits. It is essential to choose the appropriate imaging method in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the effect of related factors on survival of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer aged 70 years and over. Methods Fifty-seven patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer aged 70 years and over were enrolled.Their survival time were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 by taking account of gender, age, smoking history,alcohol history, pancreatic disease history, diabetes mellitus history, Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) scoring, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, CEA and CA199 levels. Results Gender,ECOG scoring, chemotherapy and radiotherapy had relationship with overall survival. The median survival time was 8.9 months and one-year survival rate was 28.1%. The median survival was (10.7±5.4) months in male group and (5.5±2.3) months in female group (P=0.000). The median survival was(10.1±5.8) months in patients with ECOG 0~1 group and(7.3±3.8)months in patients with ECOG 2 group (P=0.040). The median survival was(7.76±5.27) months in nochemotherapy group and(11.5±5.0)months in chemotherapy group (P=0.038). The median survival was(8.87±5.36)months in no radiotherapy group and (13.7±3.8) months in radiotherapy group (P=0.048). Conclusions The patients who have better ECOG performance status and receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy show better survival.

Objective To investigate the change of renal 1-alpha hydroxylase and its effect on bone mineral density in the old rats with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods Forty Wistar rats of 18 months old were randomly divided into normal control (N), diabetes (D), diabetes treated with vitamin D_ 3 (T1) and diabetes treated with 1-?(OH)D_ 3 (T2) groups, respectively. Ten rats in each group. Dual energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) was used to determine bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spines and femoral bone. 24 h urinary protein excretion, serum 25(OH)D_ 3 and 1,25(OH)_ 2 D_ 3 were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with controls, 24 h urinary protein excretion increased remarkably D, T1, T2 groups, while BMD greatly decreased, much lower in D group and T1 group than T2 group (P0.05). The level of 1,25(OH)_ 2 D_ 3 in N group was the same to T2 group, but higher than D, T1 groups (P

Objective: To study the epidemiological of social anxiety disorder in pupils of Zhanjiang urban districts. Methods:2409 pupils from 5 elementary schools in Zhanjiang city completed the SASC. Those with a total score higher than 2 standard deviation away from the mean were interviewed. SADC was diagnosed according to the standard of CCMD-3.Results:The overall prevalence rate of SADC was 2.74 in Zhanjiang urban districts, prevalence rate for boys was 2.6, while 2.9 for girls. No sex difference was found (?~2=0.11,P=0.744). There was no significant difference among different grades (?~2=5.47,P=0.361).Conclusions:SADC exists in pupils of Zhanjiang city, we should pay more attention to this disorder for children's mental health.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of restoration of cartilage defect with silk fibrin/chitosan(SF-CS)biological scaffold compound by induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)in the elderly rabbits.Methods BMSCs were extracted,cultured and induced to differentiate,then inoculated into SF-CS three-dimensional scaffold restoration.54 rabbits(aged 16-18months)were divided into scaffold restoration,single scaffold and control groups(n=18 per group).The right knee joint was used for building cartilage defect model and implanted by scaffolds.General observation,tissue staining and modified Wakitani histological scoring were performed at 4,8 and 12weeks after operation.Results SF-CS scaffold was structured by multiple interlinked pores.The average pore size was 151.72 μm.The porosity was(92.72±4.78)%.The imbibition rate was (141.10± 6.87)%.BMSCs was grown well and proliferated dynamically in SF-CS scaffold after induction.At 12 weeks,the cartilage defect was basically repaired,type Ⅱ collagen was positively expressed and the scaffold was almost assimilated in scaffold restoration group.In single scaffold group,the cartilage defect was repaired mainly by fiber tissue,type Ⅱ collagen was less expressed and the scaffold almost degraded while the cartilage defect was repaired badly in control group.The scaffold restoration group was superior to single scaffold and control groups(P<0.05)in improving the Wakitani score.Conclusions The SF-CS scaffold as BMSCs carrier may restore cartilage defect in knee joint of the elderly rabbits.

At present,the doctor-patient relationship in China is a little tense,communication between doctors and patients is not smooth,and the doctor-patient communication skills of the young doctor is obviously insufficient and need to be improved.In this paper,we analyze the factors that affect the communication between doctors and patients in the Department of Neurology through the complexity of professional knowledge,the current background and so on.In addition,we discuss multiple methods of improving communication capability among this group doctors,hoping to strengthen young physicians' clinical basic skills training,and impart doctor-patient communication skills from the linguistic modifiers,oral expression,words and deeds,use of metaphor,simulation training and other aspects,and establish dynamic assessment system of doctor-patient communication ability.

Objective To survey the scientific research integrity situation of community health care organizations in Yangpu district in Shanghai,meanwhile,provide a reference for scientific research integrity management in any community health care organization.Methods Using the convenience sampling method,we sampled 200 health staff from 4 community health service centers.They were surveyed with uniform questionnaires.Results No dramatically relationship existed in health staff's knowledge about scientific research integrity breach and their age.However,education background,their academic titles,how many times they have learned relative information,publicity about science research integrity would impact their awareness on research integrity.Conclusions There is dramatically discrepancy on the scientific research integrity among these community health staff.

AIM: Hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, such as simvastatin, have been shown to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by mechanisms unrelated to its lipid-lowering effect. Several studies have shown that simvastatin induces apoptosis in a varieties of cell lines including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The aim of this study was to investigate the signal pathways involved in apoptosis induced by simvastatin. METHODS: Cultured VSMC were treated with simvastatin. Calpain activity was determined by measuring Ca 2+ ionophore-specific calpain substrate (suc-LLVY-AMC), caspase-3 activation was detected by Western blot, and apoptotic changes were distinguished by annexin Ⅴ binding and DNA laddering. RESULTS: After incubated with 30 ?mol/L simvastatin for 8 h, calpain activity had a marked increase ( P

AIM: To observe the effect of simvastatin on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) induced by serum and growth factor PDGF-BB and the effect of simvastatin on the expression of PTEN,a important regulator of G 1/S cell cycle transition. METHODS: The DNA synthesis was determined by -TdR incorporation, cell cycle was examined with flow cytometry, the protein level of PTEN was measured by Western blot method. RESULTS: (1)Simvastatin inhibited -TdR incorporation in a dose dependent manner. (2) Flow cytometric DNA analysis revealed that simvastatin induced significantly enhancement of G 0/G 1 phase and decrease in S phase VSMCs.(3)Simvastatin increased protein level of PTEN and mevalonate, a metabolite of HMG-COA, reversed the effect of simvastatin on PTEN protein expression. CONCLUSION: Simvastatin may inhibit proliferation of VSMCs and retarded cell cycle in G 0/G 1 phase by increasing PTEN expression through inhibiting synthesis of mevalonate.
