1.Effect of preoperative visiting by special visiting nurses before operation on relieving mental tension of patients
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2012;28(23):1-2
Objective To discuss the influence of preoperative visiting by special visiting nurses before operation on relieving mental tension of patients. Methods 80 patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 40 patients in each group.All patients were prepared in the same way except that patients in the experimental group were visited by the operation room nurses before the operation.The differences in heart rate and blood pressure were compared between the two groups as the criteria for judging mental tension of the patients. Results Blood pressure and heart rate of patients in the experimental group did not fluctuate as much as the patients in the control group. Conclusions Visiting patients before the operation can stabilize patients' emotion and reduce their stress reaction and mental tension so as to help them get through the perioperative period more smoothly.

Objective To investigate the clinical significances of thyroid function changes in patients with post-stroke depression(PSD). Methods Sixty two cases with acute cerebral infarction (CI) were stratified into two groups by Zung self-rating depression scale, single cerebral infarct patients group (CI group) and PSD group. Serum levels of FT3, FT4 and TSH of the patients were detected on 2 days,7days,14 days and 21days after admission. Results ①On each time point after admission, FT3 levels in PSD group were lower than those in CI group. FT3 levels in the two groups on the 7 days were higher than those on 2 days(2.04±0.53 vs 1.28±0.19, 1.43±0.91 vs 1.07±0.37, P <0.05).On the 14 and 21 days, levels of FT3 in the PSD group were continuously increased.②On the 2 days and 7 days after admission, FT4 levels in PSD group were higher than those in CI group. FT4 levels in the two groups on the 14 days were lower than those on 7 days(1.52±0.18 vs 2.09±0.26, 1.57±0.31 vs 2.28±0.38, P <0.05). ③On the 2 days after admission,the TSH level in the PSD group were lower than that in CI group(2.02±0.36 vs 2.27±0.49,P <0.05). Conclusion The results indicated that the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis plays important role in the pathogenesis of PSD.

Objective: To study the inhibition and mechanism of tea polyphenols (TP) on apoptosis induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Method: HUVEC cells were administered with TP (25 ?g/ml), ox-LDL (200 ?g/ml)+TP (25 ?g/ml), ox-LDL (200 ?g/ml) respectively, cells with equal volume of solvent as control. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, apoptosis by acridine orange fluorescence dyeing, and expressions of Bcl-2、Bax and caspase-3 were analyzed by Western blotting. Results: Ox-LDL could inhibit HUVEC cell proliferation. After treated with both TP and ox-LDL , the cell proliferation increased obviously and showed significant difference from the cells treated with ox-LDL only (P

Objective To investigate the effects of polysaccharide sulfate(PSS)on the growth of vascular endothelial cell cultured in vitro and the adhesion of vascular endothelial cell to polymorphonuclear neutrophils(PMN).Methods ECV-304,a kind of human umbilical vein endothelial cells,was cultured in vitro with different concentrations of PSS(0,50,100,150,200,250 g?mL-1),the growth of ECV-304 was observed by means of MTT.Hypoxia/ reoxygenation(H/R) model of ECV-304 was established,the adhesion rate of PMN from patients with cerebral infarction to cultured ECV-304 was detected with or without treatment of PSS and H/R.Results The growth of ECV-304 in PSS-treated subgroups(final concentrations: 50,100,150,200 g?mL-1) were much better than in non-PSS subgroup,especially in subgroup with PSS final concentration of 100 g?mL-1.The adhesion rate of cultured ECV-304 to PMN from patients with cerebral infarction was higher significantly than that from the healthy subject,which was increased when ECV-304 being treated with H/R.The adhesion rate of cultured ECV-304(whether treated with H/R or not) to PMN was decreased significantly when ECV-304 being treated with PSS(100 g?mL-1).Conclusion The experiments in vitro showed that PSS could promote the growth of cultured ECV-304 and decrease the adhesion rate of H/R ECV-304 to PMN.

Objective To investigate the genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Guangdong Province by linear probe assay (LiPA) and core,non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) sequence analysis,and to evaluate the accuracy of LiPA for genotyping.MethodsOne hundred and ten HCV specimens from chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients in Guangdong Province were genotyped by both core,NS5B sequence analysis and INNO-LiPA 2.0.The data were then analyzed with SPSS 10.0 software.ResultsAmong the 110 specimens,core and NS5B fragment could be amplified from 97 and 62 specimens,respectively,while both fragments were obtained from 57 specimens. The results of genotyping by core sequence analysis were completely consistent with the results of NS5B sequencing.One hundred and two specimens were classified into five subtypes,i.e.genotype 1a,2a,3a,3b,6a,with frequencies of 61.8% (64),9.8% (10),3.9% (4),3.9% (4),20.6% (21),respectively.All but genotype 6 strains can be genotyped correctly by using INNO-LiPA 2.0.However,only subtype 1b and 3b could be genotyped accurately.81.5% genotype 6a strains were genotyped as 1b by mistake. Conclusions Genotype 6a has become the second most prevalent genotype in Guangdong Province.The LiPA cannot distinguish genotype 6a from 1b strains accurately which needs further investigation.

Objective To explore the effect of shifting the little finger abductor muscle and cutting open the metatarsophalangeal joint dorsal articular capsule to improve the appearance and function of reconstructed thumb.Methods From August 2007 to May 2012,twelve cases of Ⅳ°or Ⅴ°defect of thumb were repaired by free transplantation of the second toes with metatarsophalangeal joint.During operation,using the abductor muscle of little finger to reconstruct palmar opposition function,cutting open the joint capsule of metatarsophalangeal joint,adjusting the tension of the joint by the little finger abductor muscle and toe short extensor muscles,which were used to improve the appearance and function of reconstructed thumb.Results Twelve reconstructed thumbs all survived.Followed up from 6 to 24 months,the appearance and function were improved obviously.According to the evaluation trial standards,nine cases were optimal and 3 cases were good.Conclusion The shift of the little finger abductor muscle could reconstruct palmar opposition function,combined with metatarsophalangeal joint dorsal articular capsule incision and adjusting joint tension,could improve the appearance and function of reconstructed thumb.The effect of operation was satisfied.

Objective To investigate the incidence,characteristics and risk factors of cognitive impairment in patients with transient ischemic attack(TI A) or minor stroke.Methods Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) was carried out in 279 patients with TIA or minor stroke and 150 healthy controls to assess their cognitive function.Results (1) Compared with the healthy controls,the TIA/minor stroke patients scored significantly lower on MoCA total score((23.98±2.55) vs (26.60±0.99),t=12.084,P<0.01) and subtests including visuoexecutive function((3.68±0.94) vs (4.41±0.64),t=8.483,P<0.01),digital span ((1.81±0.40) vs (1.95±0.23),t=3.771,P<0.01),attention((0.84±0.37) vs (0.95±0.23),t=3.357,P< 0.01),repetition((1.59±0.62) vs (1.89±0.37),t=5.496,P<0.01),verbal fluency((0.88±0.33) vs (0.95 ± ±0.23),t=2.286,P<0.05),abstraction((1.55±0.64) vs (1.91±0.34),t=6.357,P<0.01) and recall ((2.87±1.13) vs (3.18±0.41),t=3.281,P<0.01) were significantly decreased.(2) Of 279 TIA/Minor stroke patients,213 (76.3%) suffered from cognitive impairment.The incidence of cognitive impairment was positively correlated with the gender,age,educational level,smoking,course,leukoaraiosis,comorbidities such as hypertension,diabetes mellitus(P<0.05),and negatively correlated with hyperlipidemia(P>0.05).Conclusion Extensive impairments of cognitive functions occur along with the incidence of TIA or minor stroke.It is thus suggested that cognitive assessment and interventions may be carried out at an early stage.
