Objective To study the expression of striatin(STRN) protein in brain tissue of paitents with drug-refractory epilepsy,and analyze the clinical significance of the expression.Methods Immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence,cDNA array and Western blot were used to measure the levels of STRN cDNA and the protein in surgically removed temporal lobe tissues of patients with refractory epilepsy.Samples were retrieved from the brain bank of the authors' department(n=42),and the results were compared with that of the normal controls(n=12).Results STRN cDNA of STRN was abnormally expressed in the temporal cortex of the patients with epilepsy,the ratio of Cy5/Cy3 of STRN was 0.384.Moreover,the expression of STRN was significantly lower in neurons and glial cells of all epilepsy specimens.OD value in epileptic tissues determined by Immunohistochemical method was 0.310 8?0.108 7,which was significantly lower than that of control(0.421 0?0.120 2,P

Objective To analyze the clinical conditions and emergency treatment experiences of acute and chronic renal failure with hyperpotassemia. Methods Retrospective analyzed 542 clinical cases of supervening hyperpotassemia, which were treated by hemodialysis on 186 patients of renal failure with hyperpotassemia for 5 years. Results 540 cases clinical symptom was improved, serum potassium concentration was down to normal range and hyperpotassemia disappeared in electro cardiogram. 2 cases died after salvage. Rate of success was 99.6%. Conclusion Hemodialysis therapy is the most effective treatment to hyperpotassemia. Use bicarbonate with kalium pH indicator of 3.0～3.5mmol/L in dialysis is useful to lower hyperpotassemia, and safe also. In the early stage of hemodialysis, pure ultrafiltration dehydration treatment is not suitable. There is still danger of heartbeat stop deal to high kalium in the early stage of dialysis; emergency treatments should be standby all the time.

Phospholipid fatty acids are the major constituents of the membranes of all living cells, and different groups of microorganism synthesize a variety of PLFA through various biochemical pathways. Several PLFAs can be used as "signatures" to analyze changes in microbial biomass and microbial communities structure. More and more PLFA method was used in soil microbial analysis. This article briefly reviewed the applications of PLFA methods in soil microbial analysis.

Objective To understand the subjective perception and influential factors of critical care training in rescue nurses. Methods The same self-designed questionnaire with a total of 49 closing entries were used before and after training course to investigate the ability of critical care and prevention ability of infectious diseases in rescue nurses. Results The ability of emergency response nursing improved remarkably after rescue nurse training (t=-7.071--3.693,P<0.01). But there were several weaknesses still in existence including specialty knowledge, first aid techniques, and clinical application of biochemical indicators, psychological trauma assessment, epidemics and ECG recognition, critical
thinking, the differences were statistically significant (t=-6.736--3.286,P<0.01). Conclusions Rescue nurses training can improve the ability to take care of critical illness under emergency situations, which can ease the insufficiency of human resource for short-term.

ObjectiveTo understand the urban preference for outpatient pre-registration in large hospitals,and probe into the influencing factors,for recommendations to improve outpatient preregistration at the hospitals.Methods With Nanjing City as an example,the authors used tailoreddesigned questionnaire and qualitative interviews to investigate the preference of 1200 households of local residents regarding outpatient clinical pre-registration service at the tertiary hospitals.Results Age,education and economic factors are found to be the most important influential ones for urban preference in their outpatient pre-registration at large hospitals.Other factors include traditional approaches to outpatient clinic,inconvenience for outpatient pre-registration,and concerns for appointment breaking.Conclusion in order to increase their preference for outpatient pre-registration at large hospitals,hospitals should work to explore and improve approaches for outpatient pre-registration,and better their service quality,which will involve greater participation of both the hospital staff and residents.

Objective To primarily explore the efficacy and adverse effects of the combination of fiudarabine,cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)(FLAG regime)therapy for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia in children.Methods Ten children were treated with the FLAG regime for relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML)and acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)from Feb.2007 to Mar.2010.There were 8 male and 2 female,with mean age 8 years(ranging from 4 to 12 years).AML was diagnosed in 8 children,AML-M2 in 5 cases,AML-M4 in 3 cases.ALL was diagnosed in 2 children,both were B-ALL.Six children had refractory disease,and 4 cases were in relapse.FLAG regime included:fludarabine 25 mg?m-2?d-1,days 1-5;cytarabine 2 g?m-2?d-1,days 1-5;G-CSF 150-300 ?g?d-1,from day 0 to neutrophils ≥0.5?109 L-1.Results Complete remission was obtained in 6 children(60%),partial remission was obtained in 1 child(10%),and 3 children were considered non-response(30%).The total effective rate was 70%.For 8 children with AML,6 children had achieved complete remission(75%),2 children had non-response(25%).While in children with ALL,1 child got partial remission,and the other one had non-response.Myelosuppression and infections due to neutropenia were the most frequent adverse effects,severe nonhematologic toxicity were not observed in these children.And there were no chemotherapy-related death.Conclusions The FLAG regime is effective in treatment of children with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia,especially for the children with the relapsed and refractory AML.The adverse effects from this regime were well tolerated.FLAG regime can give children with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia another chance.

Objective To present the distinction on clinical features,laboratory features,treatment schemes between the patients with and without brucellar epididymo-orchitis,and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis of 223 male patients with brucellosis in the First Hospital of Jilin University from June 2010 to November 2016 was carried out.A comparative analysis of the clinical and laboratory features of 22 patients with epididymo-orchitis and 201 cases without epididymo-orchitis was done.The SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the statistical results,P ＜ 0.05 was defined as statistically significant.Results Epididymo-orchitis occurred in 9.87％ (22/223) of all male patients with brucellosis.The median ages of patients with and without epididymo-orchitis were 35.5 and 42.0 years old,respectively,the difference was not statistically significant (Z =1.323,P ＞ 0.05).Cases with and without epididymo-orchitis of brucellosis with fever [90.9％ (20/22) vs 69.2％ (139/201)],chills [54.4％ (12/22) vs 28.9％ (58/201)],hepatomegaly [22.7％ (5/22) vs 3.5％ (7/201)],abdominal symptoms [59.1％ (13/22) vs 17.4％ (35/201)],and urinary tract infection symptoms [31.8％ (7/22) vs 3.5％ (7/201)],the differences were statistically significant (x2 =4.586,6.076,14.424,20.392,27.059,all P ＜ 0.05).The medians of white blood cell (WBC) count (7.9 × 109/L),erythrocyte sedimentation value (ESR,38.0 mm/h),and aspartate aminotransferase (AST,110.0 U/L) in brucellosis with epididymo-orchitis were higher than those without epididymo-orchitis (5.1 × 109/L, 30.0 mm/h,73.8 U/L),the differences were statistically significant (Z =2.239,2.064,2.762,all P ＜ 0.05).All brucellosis patients with epididymis-orchitis were treated with antibiotics for 8 weeks.The defervescence time was 4.5 days,the time of pain relief was 3.9 days,21 patients were cured,and only Ⅰ patient relapsed.Conclusions Epididymo-orchitis is a common complication of brucellosis.Brucellar epididymo-orchitis is usually characterized with a severe acute clinical presentation,which needs timely diagnosis.Combination of antibiotics treatment for 8 weeks in brucellosis patients with epididymis-orchitis is effective.

Objective: To investigate the effect of combining acupuncture and auricular point sticking on heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). Methods: A total of 80 cases with PSD were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The control group was intervened by oral administration of paroxetine hydrochloride, whereas the treatment group received acupuncture plus auricular point sticking base on the same oral administration. The Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) and HRV were measured before and after treatment in both groups. Results: The individual and global scores of HAMD significantly dropped after 8 weeks of treatment in both groups (all P<0.05). In the treatment group, anxiety/somatization factor, sleep disturbance, hopelessness factor, cognition factor and global score were significantly different from those in the control group (all P<0.05). The 24 h standard deviation of all normal-to-normal R-R interval (SDNN), standard deviation of 5-minute average of normal R-R intervals (SDANN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), percent of differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals >50 ms (PNN50) and high frequency (HF) were increased while low frequency (LF) and LF/HF decreased significantly after 8 weeks of treatment in both groups (P<0.05). All items in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Combining acupuncture and auricular point sticking can enhance the conventional medical treatment for HRV in patients with PSD.
