Objective To establish an anti-hepatitis E virus (HEV) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) one-step assay based on seven glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fusion recombinant proteins derived from different HEV genotypes and subtypes. Methods Concentration of the coating antigen was optimized by block titration. The cut-off values were determined for anti-HEV IgG and IgM, respectively. Assay sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility were investigated using samples with confirmed anti-HEV positive. Results An optimal concentration of mixture of recombinant proteins (Mix166) was 1.5 mg/L for antigen coating. Coefficient of variations (CV) of anti-HEV within-run and between-run were 8.67% and 10.85%, respectively. CV of anti-HEV IgM within-run and between-run were 4.56% and 5.99%, respectively. Positive rates of anti-HEV IgG and IgM were both 94% for 50 HEV-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive sera tested with the one step assay. Using one-step assay to detect 674 serum samples from healthy people, 52 samples were found anti-HEV IgG positive and 3 samples were anti-HEV lgM positive. A series of serum specimens collected at different time points until 76 weeks from a chimpanzee challenged with HEV Mexican strain were anti-HEV IgM positive during week 1--6 and anti-HEV IgG positive during week 2--76 determined by the one step ELISA. However, import ELISA kits were lack of both the IgM and lgG reactivity to all of the serial chimpanzee sera. Conclusions The sensitivity and specificity of anti-HEV ELISA one-step assay based on the Mix166 antigen are high and could be used for the diagnosis of HEV infection.

Objective To evaluate the clinical and endocrine effectiveness of different laser doses for ultrasound-guided transvaginal ovarian interstitial laser treatment in patients with polyeystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods Between January 2005 and July 2007, 56 women with clomifene citrate-resistant PCOS selected from the patients who were referred to Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital with a request for fertility underwent ultrasound-guided transvaginal ovarian interstitial laser treatment. All subjects were randomly divided into four groups of A, B, C and D. In group A, one coagulation point per ovary was done and group B, two points; group C, three points; group D, four to five points. The size of each point was about 10 mm in diameter (the electrical laser was projected persistently for 1-3 min with a power of 3-5 W) . The serum sexual hormone level, ovulation rate and pregnancy rate within six postoperative months were compared among the four groups. Results (1) The spontaneous ovulation rates of groups A (0) and B (21%) within six postoperative months were significantly lower than groups C (71%, P <0.05) and D (79%, P<0.01). The accumulative pregnancy rates of group C (43%) and D(36%) for six postoperative months were significantly higher than group A(0; P <0.01 ,P <0.05). Although they were also higher than that of group B, no statistical significance was found (P>0.05). (2) No statistically significant differences were found among four groups when various preoperative hormone values were compared (P>0.05). The mean serum luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone level and LH/ follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio was significantly lower postoperatively in groups C [(6.3±2. 6) U/L, (2.2±0.7) nmol/L, 1.1±0.3] and D [(5.8±2.5) U/L, (2.1±0.4) nmol/L, 1.0±0.4] than in groups A [(11.9±3.1)U/L,(3.9±1.6)nmol/L,2.1±0.5] and B [(10.4±3.9)U/L,(3.3±1.1) nmol/L, 2. 0±0.6],respectively(P<0.05). The mean LH, testosterone level and LH/FSH ratio reduced more obviously in groups C (42%,39% and 42% ) and D(53% , 40% and 58% ) than in groups A (4%, 9% and 16%)and B(11%, 6% and 5%;P<0. 05). All above-mentioned parameters between groups C and D had no statistical significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions One and two intracvarian laser coagulation points per ovary are associated with poor results. Three points per ovary seem to represent the plateau of effective dose for the ovarian interstitial laser treatment. Increasing the dose above it does not improve the outcome.

BACKGROUND: Previous animal studies demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could differentiate into nerve cells under a certain condition; however, the clinical application for treating nervous system disease has been less reported. OBJECTIVE: To observe a short-term effect of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on treating cerebral hemorrhage.METHODS: A total of 32 patients with cerebral hemorrhage who were selected from the Department of Neurosurgery, Liaocheng Brain Hospital between November 2007 and January 2009 were considered as a treatment group. According to general data and the amount of hematoma, they were treated by drilling drainage or hematoma evacuation. Drainage tubes were detained into hematoma cavity, and 3.5 mL autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell suspension was injected through drainage tube. A total of 40 additional patients who did not treated with stem cell transplantation were considered as a control group. Neurologic impairment (NIHSS) and activities of daily living (Barthel index) were performed before and 6 months after transplantation; meanwhile, the brain MRI, serum biochemical and tumor marker were evaluated to detect security of stem cell transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The NIHSS score and Barthel index in the treatment group were similar to those in the control group before transplantation. Compared with control group, NIHSS scores were significantly decreased in the treatment group (P < 0.01), but Barthel index was significantly increased 6 months after transplantation (P < 0.01). Compared with before transplantation, NIHSS score were significantly decreased (P < 0.01), but Barthel index was significantly increased in the treatment group 6 months after transplantation (P < 0.01). Two patients in the treatment group had febrile, which was recovered after treatment. The following-up 6 months after transplantation demonstrated that brain MRI and biochemical indicators were normal except an increasing of CA-153 caused by lung cancer in one patient. The autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for treatment of cerebral hemorrhage is safe and effective in a short-term period; however the long-term effect still needs to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the recent efficacy and safety of autologous bone marrow stem cells transplantation in treatment of early spinal cord injury. Methods 51 cases of early spinal cord injury admitted to Liaocheng People Hospital from 2007.11 to 2009.8 were enrolled in this study. In transplantation group, 24 patients were treated by subarachnoid space injection with autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation. The patients who were not transplanted in the same period of hospitalization were selected as control group. Motor and sensory function ( AISA score) was assessed at 1, 3, 6 months before and after transplantation in two groups patients. And blood routine, clotting mechanisms, biochemical items andtunor markers were determined in followed up. Results After one month of transplantation, two groups ofpatients had recovered in motor and sensory function to some degree. After three months of transplantation,there was significant different between transplantation group and control group in sensory function recovery (P < 0. 05 ). After 6 months of transplantation, there were significant different between transplant group and control group in motor and sensory function recovery (P<0.05). Blood examination results did not show markedly abnormal in followed -up patientsConclusion The safety and recent effect of autologous bone marrow stem cells transplantation in treatment of early spinal cord injury were satisfied, but the long - term effect was still unclear.

Objective To explore the mental education and continuing education among non-psychiatric medical workers of the general hospitals in Guangzhou city.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in 17 general hospitals of Guangzhou city including 2617 participants from December 2012 to April 2013.Results Among 2617 participants,41.6％ of them hadn't taken part in psychiatric course study,66.9％ hadn't received psychiatric rotation,and 66.7％ hadn't received psychiatry and related training;93.8％ of the medical staff had interest in mental specialized training courses,of which 72.0％ medical staff stood for training classes/participation,72.3％ medical staff most satisfied with 4-5 days of a training course,strengthen training every 6 months (2 days) and a psychiatrist to connect.Conclusion Non-psychiatric medical workers of the general hospitals in Guangzhou city lack the knowledge of mental health,and mental health care training are urgently needed.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of low-dose once-daily tadalafil combined with Shuganyiyang Capsules in the treatment of mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction (ED).

METHODSNinety patients with mild-to-moderate ED were equally randomized to groups A, B and C to receive Shuganyiyang Capsules, tadalafil, and tadalafil + Shuganyiyang Capsules, respectively. The scores of the patients on IIEF-5 and SF-PAIRS (15-Item Short Form of Psychological Interpersonal Relationship Scales) were recorded before and at 1 and 3 months after treatment.

RESULTSThe IIEF-5 scores of groups A, B and C were 10.13 +/- 1.55, 11.00 + 1.60 and 10.73 +/- 1.91 before treatment, and 13.77 +/- 2.11, 17.77 +/- 2.13 and 17.17 +/- 3.84 at 1 month after treatment, significantly higher in B and C than in A (P <0. 001) , but with no remarkable difference between B and C (P =0. 411). At 3 months after treatment, the IIEF-5 scores were 15.77 +/- 2.05, 18.07 +/- 2.24 and 19.37 +/- 3.76 in the three groups, dramatically higher in B and C than in A (P <0.001) as well as in C than in B (P<0.05). The scores on sexual self-confidence, sexual spontaneity and time concerns in SF-PAIRS were 3.90 +/-0.80, 8.67 +/- 1.94 and 14.43 +/- 1.92 before medication, 5.83 +/- 1.02, 9.90 +/- 1.75 and 11.17 +/- 1.68 at 1 month and 6.73 +/- 0.98, 11.07 +/- 2.08 and 10.67 +/-1.60 at 3 months after medication in group A; 4.17 +/- 0.87, 9.37 +/-1.43 and 14.47 +/-1.57 before medication, 6.47 +/-0.78, 10.83 +/- 2.18 and 10.20 +/-1.56 at 1 month and 6.83 +/-0.91, 11.30 +/- 1.88 and 9.47 +/- 1.57 at 3 months in group B; and 4.23 +/-0. 94, 9.50 +/- 1.89 and 14.67 +/- 2.91 before medication, 8.03 +/- 1.67, 13.43 +/-1.10 and 9.70 +/-1.21 at 1 month and 8.93 +/- 1.78, 14.70 +/- 1.26 and 8. 87 +/- 0. 97 at 3 months in group C. Compared with the baseline, the SF-PAIRS scores of the three groups were all significantly improved after treatment (P <0. 05) , and markedly higher in C than in the other two groups (P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONLow-dose once-daily tadalafil combined with Shuganyiyang Capsules is obviously effective in the treatment of mild-to-moderate ED, which not only improves the patients'erectile function, sexual self-confidence and sexual spontaneity, but also reduces their time concerns.
