Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention on constipation caused by antipsychotic drugs.Methods Ninty patients with antipsychotic drug induced constipation who were admitted to our hospital from June 2012 to October 2013 were enrolled in this investigation and randomly assigned to the comprehensive intervention group(CIG,n=46) and the routine care group(RCG,n=44).The subjects of the RCG received routine diet and medication therapy; and those of CIG received comprehensive intervention of life style,psychological ability,cognition,nursing and traditional chinese medicine(TCM) for 3 months.Constipation symptoms scale and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAC-QOL) were assessed before and after the intervention.Results CIG showed significant improvement in defecation difficulty,defecation force,defecation duration,frequency,abdominal distension,total symptom score,PAC-QOL,physical discomfort,psycho-social discomfort,anxiety and treatment satisfaction were(2.8±2.1),(2.2±1.6),(2.4±1.3),(2.1±1.7),(1.5±0.9),(14.0±8.1)respectively (t values were 2.629,3.818,2.328,2.593,2.578,2.913,7.499,2.570,5.012,2.249 and 12.259,respectively; all P＜0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive intervention may be an effective therapy against psychiatric drug induced constipation.

Objective To investigate influence of hyperlipidemia in parents on plasma lipid level,blood pressure,body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC)of their children.Methods Eighty children whose parents had been with hyperlipidemia(Group A) and 893 children whose parents had been normal plasma lipid levels(Group B) were studied.BMI,systolic pressure(SP),diastolic pressure(DP),WC,plasma triglyceride(TG),cholesterol(CH),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-c),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-c)of two groups were measured and compared.Results The levels of BMI,TG,TCH,LDL-c,SP,and DP had a increasing trend in group A compared to those of group B.HDL-c in group A had a decreasing trend compared to that of group B.But only the increase of BMI is significant(P

20 was lower than those whose BMI≤20(P

Objective:To summarize the experiences of the surgical treatment of tumors in the posterior part of the third ventricle and pineal region. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with tumors in this region treated microsurgically from 1990 to 2000 were analyzed. The surgical indications, approaches, and operative key points were discussed. The prognostic factors were also analyzed. Results:Tumors were removed totally in 11 patients, removed subtotally in 7 and removed partially in 5. Biopsy and ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was performed in 4 patients. Of 17 patients in follow-up, 13 patients survived longer than 5 years. Conclusions: Most tumors in the posterior part of the third ventricle and pineal region can be surgically removed.Sufficient specimen obtained in the operation can confirm pathologic property of the tumor,guiding next chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Bone xenograft bone for the treatment of bone defect is one of the current research focus, which has advantages of extensive sources, low cost, simple preparation method. While the process of single bone xenograft bone in repairing bone defect is very long, and the clinical outcome is not satisfactory. The main problems focus on formation of bone and vascularization. Reconstituted bone xenograft combined with cells and xenogenic bone material could promote vascularization and bone fusion in vivo, thus achieve a clinical effect of autogenous bone in repairing bone defect.

OBJECTIVETo study the impact of IFN-gamma on liver fibrosis and its possible mechanism. Thirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: fibrosis model group, IFN-gamma treatment group. Experimental liver fibrosis was induced by subcutaneous injection of CCl4. After 12-week-treatment, serum hyalurnic acid and TGF-beta1 was examined, histopathological changes and degrees of fibrosis were observed by optical microscopy. Meanwhile, the expression of TGF-beta1, TbetaR- I and Smad2/3 proteins was detected by immunohistochemistry and quantified by using computerized image analysis.

RESULTS(1) Pathological observation of hepatic specimens: histological examination showed that there were significant difference between normal group and fibrosis model group by comparing with the degrees of inflammation and fibrosis (P < 0.05). And the difference between fibrosis model group and IFN-gamma treatment group was significant (P < 0.05). (2) Changes of the hepatic fibrosis index (serum HA and TGF-beta1): the levels of serum HA, TGF-beta1 in fibrosis model group were higher than IFN-gamma treatment groups (P < 0.05). (3) Changes of gene protein levels about TGF-beta1/Smad: the expressions of TGF-beta1, TbetaR- I and Smad2/3 in rat hepatic tissue were detected with immunohistochemistry techniques. The expressions of the three items in model group were higher than normal group (P < 0.01). The difference between model group and IFN-gamma treatment group was significant (P < 0.05);

CONCLUSIONIFN-gamma treatment group had significant results on treating experimental hepatic fibrosis. By the way of inhibiting expressions of TGF-beta1, TbetaR- I, Smad2/3, IFN-gamma treatment group exerted its anti-fibrosis effect.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic disease ,which is still endemic in western China .An earthquake struck south-western China on May 12th ,2008 ,which affected Longnan City of Gansu Province considerably .The objective of this survey is to determine the effect of the Wenchuan earthquake on the Kala-azar epidemic in Longnan City .In this study ,VL cases were collected from 2005 to 2013 and diagnosed on positive test for anti-rK39IgG antibodies by the Kala-azar Detect rK39 dip-stick (InBios ,USA) .The incidence rates were calculated among various counties of Longnan City with SPSS 19 .0 soft-ware .The epidemiological characteristics of the disease were analyzed before and after the Wenchuan earthquake .From 2005 to 2013 ,there were 825 VL cases in Longnan City ,with an annual incidence of 3 .36/100 000 and a significantly higher incidence in males than that in females (P＜ 0 .001) .All age groups were affected .During this period ,there was an obvious upward trend from 2005 to 2008 ,and a distinct downward tendency since 2010 .The incidences of VL between 2008 and 2010 were sig-nificantly different with that in other years (P＜0 .01) .Results revealed that VL was widespread in Longnan City ,which was likely exacerbated by the earthquake in 2008 .Earthquake created diverse natural environment and social circumstances ,w hich may contribute to the spread of the VL epidemic .Together ,our data strongly suggest that the epidemic of VL should be close-ly monitored after earthquake .

Objective 　To evaluate the value of 99m　Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT DAT imaging in the early diagnosing of Parkinsons disease (PD).Methods　 Eleven patients (9 PD and 2 possible PD) and eighteen healthy subjects matched by sex and age were studied with 99m　Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT DAT imaging. Striatum specific uptake of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 was calculated according to the ratio of DAT uptake in striatum (ST) and cerebellum (CB). Results　In the hemi-Parkinsons disease group, the DAT specific uptake of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 was significantly lower (P＜0.01) in contralateral than in ipsilateral striatum to the clinically symptomatic side. There was significant decrease (p＜0.01) of striatum DAT uptake in patients with hemi-PD compared to the controls.Conclusions　99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT DAT imaging may help to confirm the diagnosis of PD at the early stage.
