Objective To investigate the impact of the COX-2 specific inhibitor parecoxib on postoperative serum cytokines and early cognitive function in the elderly patients undergoing knee replacement.Methods Seventy-two elderly patients undergoing knee replacement were divided into a control group (group Ⅰ)and parecoxib group (group Ⅱ).MMSE score were compared at preoperative 1 d and postoperative 1 d,3 d,7 d.Before induction of anesthesia (T1 ),postoperative 6 h (T2 ),1 d (T3 ),3 d (T4 ),7 d (T5 ),the serum IL-1β,IL-6 concentrations were measured,meanwhile the serum S-100βwere measured in T2 .Results At postop-erative 1 d,3 d,the MMSE score in group Ⅰ was significantly lower compared with the preoperative (P <0.05).IL-6 in T2 ,IL-1βin T3 increased in both group.In group Ⅱ,three days later,the exaltation of plasma inflammatory factors returned to the preopera-tive level,but this process last untill T5 in group Ⅰ.The plasma concentration of IL-6 in T2 ,T3 ,T4 and IL-1βin T3 ,T4 in group Ⅰwere higher than group II (P <0.05).At T2 ,the serum S-100βin group Ⅰ was (1 625 ± 364)pg/mL higher than group Ⅱ(1 263 ±174)pg/mL(P <0.05).Conclusion The protective effection of COX-2-specific inhibitor parecoxib upon postoperative cognitive decline in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery may be related to inhibition of peripheral cytokine release.

Objective To investigate the potential roles of tumor necrosis factor -related apoptosis -indu-cing ligand(TRAIL)signaling system in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.Methods Immunohistochemistry tech-niques were used,the TRAIL and its receptor(TRAILR3,TRAILR4)protein were analyzed in both 41 colorectal cancer samples(colorectal cancer group)and normal samples beside cancer tissue(normal group).Results The lev-els of TRAIL and TRAILR3 protein expression in the colorectal cancer group were significantly lower than those in the normal group[(0.237 ±0.036)vs.(0.289 ±0.069);(0.226 ±0.052)vs.(0.281 ±0.068),t =4.125,4.025,all P <0.01],while the positive rate of them were nonsignificant difference between the two groups(88% vs.90%;95%vs.93%,χ2 =0.125,0.213,all P >0.05).The expression levels of them in the colorectal cancer group with poorl differentiation were notably lower than those with high -moderate differentiation[(0.205 ±0.021 )vs (0.245 ± 0.034);(0.185 ±0.032)vs (0.236 ±0.051),t =4.025,2.664,P <0.01,P <0.05],but they were not strongly correlated to lymph nodes metastasis[(0.235 ±0.035 )vs (0.241 ±0.338);(0.216 ±0.048)vs (0.231 ± 0.054),t =0.448,0.862,all P >0.05].Moreover,the positive rate and expression levels of TRAILR4 protein was non -statistic significant difference between the two groups[93% vs 98%;(0.196 ±0.085)vs (0.219 ±0.061),χ2 =1.051,t =1.353,all P >0.05],and it was also non -significantly correlated with cancer cell differentiation and lymph nodes metastasis[(0.176 ±0.052)vs (0.201 ±0.091);(0.194 ±0.054)vs (0.197 ±0.100),t =0.667, 0.448,all P >0.05].Conclusion The levels of TRAIL and TRAILR3 expression are attenuated at colorectal cancer tissue.The expression of them are correlated with cancer cell differentiation grade.These findings indicate that TRAIL system may be associated with the malignant phenotype in colorectal cancer.

In this study, we applied in vivo electroporation(EP) for HBV DNA vaccine administration to improve the cell transfection rate of plasmid DNA and to enhance the immune response. In BALB/c mice (8 mice in each group), the luciferase activity (16170?12533RLU) was 4 digits higher than that of the non EP control (8 02?8 00RLU), the difference between them was very significant ( P

BACKGROUND:At present,most general hospitals in China treat patients with neurosis and mental diseases merely by means of clinical psychological consultation,which cannot meet the requirements of social service for metal disorders. Is it feasible to establish open psychology wards?OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of establishing open psychology ward in general hospitals for patients with neurosis and mental diseases.DESIGN:Case analysis based on patients.SETTING:Department of Psychology of Guangdong Medical College Affiliated Hospital.PARTICIPANTS:Totally 900 patients with various types of neurosis were admitted to the Department of Psychology of Guangdong Medical College Affiliated Hospital between July 2000 and March 2003.There were 688 patients with different kinds of psychoneurosis and112 cases of mental diseases. Of them,there were 523 men and 377women aged from 11 to 80 years.with the mean age of (42±8) years and hospitalization duration of(17.0±6.5) days.METHODS:Open management consisting of open ward,supporting system,humanized restriction,collective physical exercise and psychological support was adopted.Symptom checklist (SCL-90) was used by trained psychological doctors to assess the therapeutic effects in the 900 patients with neurosis and mental diseases after two-month rehabilitation.Meanwhile,169 patients with depression were examined with Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAMD) at 2,4,8 weeks of treatment.patients.RESULTS:Open psychology ward could provide an environment for patients to live and make free contact with the outside world. Of the 900patients with various neurosis and metal diseases,531 (59.0%) had recovery to normal,264(29.4%) had obvious improvement,81(9.0%) had improvement,and 24 (2.6%) had no therapeutic effect,with the total effective rate of 97.4% .None of the patients had any accident. HAMD score of the 169 patients with depression was (32.3±3.6) before treatment,was obviously lower at 2,4 and 8 weeks of treatment [(17.4±4.2),(11.5±4.8) and(5.8±3.6),respectively](P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION:The therapeutic effect of the open psychology ward in the general hospital on various neuropathies and mental diseases was 97.4% in the 900 cases,with no accident occurring during hospitalization.Depression of the 169 patients was obviously improved,indicating that it isfeasible to establish open psychology ward in general hospitals.

Objective To evaluate the effect of crisis intervention on prevention of patients with mental disorder who had suicide ideas or attempt to commit resuicide.Methods 280 patients with mental disorder,holding suicidal ideas or attempting to suicide were randomly divided into the intervention group and control group with 140 cases in each group.The diagnosis of all patients was accorded with the CCMD-3 criteria.The cases of the control group only accepted routine treatments and cares in the hospital,and drug maintenance therapy after discharge.The cases of the intervention group accepted a comprehensive treatment of crisis intervention except the routine treatments.All cases were evaluated when they were admitted and 6 and 12 months after discharged.Results After discharged 6 months and 12 months,the social supports and treatments compliance of the intervention group were better than that of the control group(P<0.01),while suicidal ideas and the numbers of suicides were less than the control group significantly.Conclusion The crisis intervention can improve patients' social supporting and treatment compliance,eliminate their suicide ideas,and prevent the patients committing resuicide significantly.

For investigating the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) in Fujian from 2010 to 2015,we analyzed the surveillance data of EV71 and sequenced VP1 genes of 72 EV71 strains randomly picked from the past 6 years.The overall infection rate was gradually down and one incidence peak (from May to July) was observed each year.Major infectious population were focused on Xiamen,Fuzhou,Nanping and Quanzhou,the ages ranged from one to three years old.Scattered children were the most infected ones.The proportion of EV71 in the severe case was higher than in the HMFD(χ2 =732.064 5,P＜0.000 1).EV71 circulated from 2010 to 2015 in Fujian Province was belonged to subgenotype C4a in consistent with vaccine strain (H07).Compared with the VP1 of vaccine strains,the divergence of complete VP1 nucleotide sequence was gradually expanding as time distance increased,but the sequence of amino acid was not found obvious difference.Variations in 4 key immune epitopes of amino acid had not appeared a regular pattern in year and not consistent with the trend of proportion of EV71 in HMFD.As a result,we considered the epidemiology characteristics of EV71 in Fujian was obvious,72 strains still belonged to C4a subgenotype and had no outstanding antigenic drift or mutation.Extensive epidemiology surveillance and genetic characteristic are needed for the application of EV71 vaccine.

The association of non-HDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-C-to-HDL-cholesterol ratio (non-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio) with early diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was investigated.Non-HDL-C and non-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio were positively related with microalbuminuria (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Non-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio is an independent risk factor of early diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
