This paper reports the perioperative care of a patient undergoing the bilateral posterior ventral globus pallidus deep brain stimulation treatment for neuroacanthocytosis. The nursing points mainly included psychological care of the patient before surgery,preoperative preparation,postoperative care and special nursing before and after deep brain stimulation opening. The patient's dance-like involuntary movements and compulsive behavior reduced significantly after the treatment with no complications.

Objective To use inverse distance weighting(IDW)in studying the distribution of endemic fluor.0sis in Jiangsu Province and evaluate the value of IDW in endemic fluorosis surveillance.Methods A geographic information system(GIS)database of endemic fluorosis was established in Jiangsu Province from the data of endemic fluorosis survevs conducted during 1982-1985.With the help of Arc View 3.3 system,IDW was applied to forecast the distribution of fluoride concentration in water and the distribution of the prevalence rate of dental fluorosis in Jiangsu Province based on the electronic map of Jiangsu Province.Results IDW was applied to forecast the distribution of endemic fluorosis in Jiangsu Province.By comparing with the result of endemic investigation in the 1980's.the forecasting Was proven to be accurate,exact and detailed.Conclusion With the application of IDW and stratified sampling,it is feasible to describe the spatial distribution of endemic fluorosis in Jiangsu Province in endemic fluorosis surveillance.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between Chinese medical types of coronary heart disease (CHD) [i.e., phlegm turbidity syndrome (PTS) and qi deficiency syndrome (QDS)] and their metabolites.

METHODSRecruited were 65 CHD patients including 37 cases of PTS and 28 cases of QDS. Serum endogenous metabolites in the two syndrome types were determined by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-computer (GC/MS), and their differences between their metabolic profiles analyzed.

RESULTSMore than 100 chromatographic peaks were totally scanned. Chromatograms obtained was matched with mass spectrum bank, and finally we got the category contribution value of 46 kinds of substances. Results of MCTree analysis showed patients of PTS and patients of QDS could be effectively distinguished. Compounds contributing to identify the two syndromes were sequenced as serine, valine, 2 hydroxy propionic acid. Comparison of metabolites showed contents of serine and 2 hydroxy propionic acid were higher in patients of PTS than in patients of QDS (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe differences in the metabonomics of CHD TCM syndrome types could provide material bases for TCM syndrome differentiation of CHD, indicating that metabonomics technologies might become a new research method for TCM syndrome typing.

Objective To evaluate effection of the myocardial protective in treatment of coenzyme complex to the VR patients .Methods Eighty patients who need to VR were divided into control group ( n=40) and coenzyme complex group ( n =40) with double -blind.The automatic recovery rate of heart beats after cardiac resuscitation , the changes of postoperative arrhythmia rate , postoperative serum CK-MB, cTnI in 12h in two groups were recorded .Results The automatic recovery rate of heart beats was higher in coenzyme complex group than that in control group , (85%vs 67%, P <0.05).The changes of postopera-tive arrhythmia rate (26%vs 38%), serum CK-MB, cTnI at clamp off of aorta, end of operation,6hour of postoperation and 12 hour of postoperation were lower in coenzyme complex group than those in control group respectively ( all P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Coenzyme complex shows positive protection of myocardial in the VR patients.

Objective To study the expression and significance of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The expression of miR-26a in 46 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) tissues and peritumoral tissues was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR).The intrahepatic eholangiocarcinoma cell line HCCC-9810 and RBE were transfected with miR 26a mimics and miR 26a inhibitors,respectively,by lipofectamine 2000.The growth curves were constructed by the CCK 8 method.The migration and invasion ability was demonstrated by wound healing and transwell assay.The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.The potential mechanism was illustrated by Western blotting.Results For the 46 ICC tissues and peritumoral tissues,miR 26a levels were significantly higher in the tumor tissues than in the peritumoral tissues (P＜0.05).Vascular invasion,TNM Ⅲ～Ⅳ stage and lymph node metastasis were significantly associated with high miR 26a expression levels (P＜0.05),but gender,age,tumor amounts,tumor encapsulation,tumor diameter and tumor differentiation showed no significant association (P＞0.05).Enhanced cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability,accelerated G0/G1 phase to S phase transition,activated AKT by PTEN suppression were observed in HCCC-9810 cells with up regulation of miR-26a.Conversely,cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability was inhibited,G0/G1 phase was blocked and AKT was restrained by PTEN increase wkh down regulation of miR-26a in RBE cells.PTEN mRNA in versely correlated with the miR-26a level (r=-0.8272,P＜0.01).Patients with a high miR-26a expression had significantly poorer overall survival (P＜0.05).A high miR 26a exprcssion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors of overall survival (P＜0.01).Conclusion Overexpression of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma correlated with clinicopath ological features and overall survival,and it potentially promoted tumor proliferation and metastasis through the PTEN/AKT pathway.
